Ray Lopez brought American Angler home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 27 after the annual five-day Kens Custom Reels trip. There were 26 anglers aboard with chartermaster Ken Corwin, and besides limits of albies, the group also had a good catch of bluefin tuna and yellowtail.
Skipper Lopez could hardly have steered his clients any better, as they hit the tuna grounds on two of the best day so far this year, and then turned their attention to the yellowtail at Cedros Island. While they fished the island, the tuna failed to bite on the open water.
Jamie Lyons of Oceanside won first place for a 44.4-pound bluefin tuna. Ron Penn of San Diego took second for his 41.4-pounder, and Dan Steinke of Brea won third place for his 41.2-pound bluefin tuna.

Rooster Aligns Albies
Red Rooster III returned under Andy Cates hand to H&M Landing on July 27. The trip was the annual Glenns Alignment Charter of three days with chartermaster Glenn Kerr. The 31 anglers aboard found a mixed catch of bluefin and albacore.
Ralph Hughes of San Diego won first place for a 29.3-pound bluefin. He said he caught it with a sardine on a 3/0 Mustad hook on 30-pound Izorline. He fished with a Penn 535 reel and an Allstar six-foot rod he said he won on a previous trip.
Jeff Brady of Newport Beach won second place for a 27.7-pound albacore. Thomas Escalante of Ventura won third place for a 24.6- pound albie, and he also won the coveted Red Rooster III trolling jacket for the best fish on the troll, a 27.9-pound albacore.

Mitt Romney on Thursday will give a major speech on his view of the 2016 presidential election, according to a news release from his office.
The Republican Party's 2012 presidential nominee will be appearing at the Hinckley Institute of Politics in Salt Lake City. The announcement said the subject of his talk was the "state of the race" but gave no further details.
Hmm. "Major speech," "state of the race," what's that mean? Is Mr. Romney going to endorse Marco Rubio or (less likely) one of the other remaining GOP hopefuls?
We'd guess that's not the case. If he were, he'd be appearing onstage with the endorsee wherever he is campaigning. That wouldn't be in Utah. Also, his friends and aides are saying it's not that kind of speech.
"Close @MittRomney aide says he won't endorse or get in, but tomorrow's speech 'will be worth covering,' " tweeted NBC campaign reporter Andrew Rafferty.
Hold it a second, "get in"? It's kind of late for that since the primaries are about half over. Yes, Romney tried to run again at the start of the 2016 cycle, but he got elbowed out of the race by the juggernaut of the Jeb Bush campaign, if you remember. So maybe he's having second, or third, thoughts. Or hoping that other people think he might be having those thoughts even if he isn't.
Is Romney going to anti-endorse Donald Trump? This seems more likely. Romney is clearly unhappy with the rise of The Donald, whose demeanor is the opposite of his and whose rise could mean the end of the low-tax, small-government, corporate-friendly GOP that Romney knows and presumably loves.
In recent weeks, Romney's been sniping at Mr. Trump from the safety of social media and doing a decent job of it. His style has been to pile on when Trump is already getting pressure on certain stuff.
Thus Romney has urged Trump to release his back tax returns. He's pushed Trump to make public off-the-record conversations with The New York Times. Most notably, he hit Trump for the latter's slowness to disavow the endorsement of former KKK official David Duke.
"A disqualifying & disgusting response by @realDonaldTrump to the KKK," Romney tweeted on Monday. "His coddling of repugnant bigotry is not in the character of America."
Tough words. Also effective words, since they roused Trump to respond with a fairly predictable "loser" taunt. Romney hasn't fallen into the trap of exchanging adolescent jibes about body parts with Trump, as Senator Rubio has. Instead, Romney's hit him quick on political substance and then moved on.
That may change Thursday. It's even possible Romney will join the #NeverTrump movement and say he'd never vote for Trump if he's the Republican nominee.
Would that matter? Well, it won't derail Trump, who at this point is only a Florida primary win away from wrapping up the GOP presidential prize. Like so many Republican establishment figures, Romney is coming to the anti-Trump battle too late, with too little, to make a difference.
What it might do is give Romney a little free media exposure at a time when the GOP establishment may be mulling over its options. If there's a revolt at a contentious convention, whom can the establishment offer as a legitimate Trump alternative? If the old GOP wants to split and field its own third-party candidate, who might that be?
Unlike Rubio or Ted Cruz, Romney's never lost to Trump. So Romney may be implicitly offering himself as an alternative, whatever his speech's specific words.

Sykes 11th In Race One At A Searing Brno
July 14, 2010
Tom Sykes and Chris Vermeulen fought hard through intensely hot weather conditions this weekend in the Czech Republic, with the highpoint being a strong points scoring ride for Tom in race one.
The Kawasaki Racing Team duo endured air temperatures of over 30 degrees and had to make tyre and set-up choices to match track temperatures that rose to almost 60 degrees, but only Tom was able to score points, posting 11th place in race one.
Tom was involved in a collision with another rider in race two and was forced out after crashing on the first lap.
Chris was looking to make up for a fifth row grid start but got tangled in a three rider crash on lap one of race one and he fell at high speed, hurting his old right knee injury. He gamely fought back to start race two, but retired on the second lap.
In the overall standings, neither rider gained or lost any ground, with Sykes still 16th and Vermeulen 19th.
The next round is home ground for Sykes and his British-based team, Silverstone on 1 August.
Tom Sykes: "Overall it's been a disappointing end to the race weekend. I know we started off quite slow but we had a decent Superpole then tried a few things in the morning warm-up and got a bit better balance with the bike. We had an eleventh in race one which was nothing special as we had a few struggles which the boys managed to put right for race two, so big thanks to them. In race two the bike felt very strong and I got a good start but unfortunately we had a racing incident on the first lap, which spoilt the weekend. I was looking forward to a strong ride as many people dropped out so I think we could have had an eight or a ninth here. Obviously there have been a few ifs and buts this weekend but I'll brush myself off and look forward to my home race at Silverstone."
Chris Vermeulen: "We've had a real struggle here in Brno this weekend. We made up a little bit of pace during practices but like everyone else here we had problems with edge grip. Having to start on fifth row makes life difficult and I got caught up in a rider tangle on turn one and was whipped out of the race. I was optimistic about starting race two but I just could not continue after two laps due to the pain in my damaged right knee. I am obviously extremely disappointed and frustrated with my knee injury, which is holding me back. I will have to discuss with both my team and my doctor this week on how best to move forward."

TReal is a program capable of generating realistic 3D tree models. TReal generates an internal 3D representation of a tree based on various parameters. The model used for generating the tree is described in [TREE]. Using plugins the internal representation of the tree can be exported to a scene file for a particular 3D program. I've currently written one plugin for TReal, called POVTReal. POVTReal is able to output standard POV-Ray scenes that can be rendered with the POV-Ray raytracer. More information about POV-Ray can be found here: http://www.povray.org. Since there currently exists only one plugin for TReal you will have to download POV-Ray if you want to generate images with TReal. A direct link to the windows version of POV-Ray can be found here:
TReal is written in Borland Delphi 6.0 on a Windows XP machine. It uses two home-built components, namely TFloatEdit and TNumberEdit for inputting floating point values and integer values respectively.
I successfully tested TReal on two systems, one running Windows 2000 and the other one running Windows XP, but it should be able to run properly on any 32-bit Windows platform. The system requirements for TReal are rather low. It runs properly on a Celeron 333MHz, with 128MB of RAM. However, POV-Ray needs a substantial amount of RAM to render an image of the tree. This is mainly due to the large POV-Ray input files POVTReal generates. For a tree with a high recursion level (four or up) and a substantial amount of leaves the POV-Ray input file could become as large as 40MB. I'm still researching methods to cut down the file size for future upgrades of POVTReal.
The source code of the home-made components can be found here in zipped format. The source code of these components is also available in the /source/components directory of the CD, in non-zipped format. The source code of POVTReal can be found here in zipped format. The source code of POVTReal is also available in the /source/povtreal directory of the CD. The source code of TReal can be found here in zipped format, or in the /source/treal directory of the CD. For a zipped executable (along with the POVTReal DLL and some sample tree definitions) click here. TReal has also been pre-installed in the /treal directory on this CD. A small overview of the different links:
A collection of low level tree parameters is called a 'Tree defintion file' (a .trd file). These files can be loaded and saved via the File menu (figure 1), or via the toolbar (figure 2). There is a seperation between high-level model parameters and low-level parameters. High-level parameters are parameters like the season, and low-level parameters are the model parameters as described in [TREE] (with a few extra parameters added). Tree definition files don't store high level parameters. High-level parameters are mapped on the low-level parameters when the user decides to render the tree.
|Figure 1 - File menu
|Figure 2 - Toolbar
At first, we'll have a look at the high level parameters (figure 3). Various high level parameters can be set:
|Figure 3 - High level parameters
As an example a Black Tupelo is shown figure 4 up to figure 7 for every season.
|Figure 4 - Winter
|Figure 5 - Spring
|Figure 6 - Summer
|Figure 7 - Autumn
In figure 8 up to 11 the input fields for the various categories of low level parameters are depicted. Most of the low-level parameters directly correspond with the parameters as used in [TREE]. I refer to [TREE] here for the exact meaning of each parameter. Some of the parameters don't have any effect right now, because the elements of the model they correspond with have not been implemented yet. Also, I have added some extra parameters to the model. For example, it is possible to set the leaf color, and to determine the amount of vertices each section of a stem is made up of.
|Figure 8 - General tree parameters
|Figure 9 - Stem parameters
|Figure 10 - Leaf parameters
|Figure 11 - Pruning parameters
Each stem recursion level has its own set of parameters. Every time the recursion level is set in the 'General tree parameters' section, the amount of tabsheets in the 'Stem parameters' section is updated. Each tabsheet belongs to a particular stem recursion level (figure 9).
Generating the tree is done by clicking the 'Render' menu option, and subsequently selecting 'Select plugin...'. Subsequently a form will be displayed that shows the available plugins that can be used to export the internal tree representation to a general 3D format (figure 12).
|Figure 12 - Plugin list
As I've said before, there currently exists only one plugin to export the internal tree representation to a 3D program, namely POVTReal. POVTReal creates a POV-Ray scene of the internally generated tree. Before the user can properly use POVTReal, he or she will first have to configure it. Configuring POVTReal is done by selecting POVTReal from the plugins list, and subsequenly clicking the 'Settings' button. The window as shown in figure 13 will pop up. The location of the POV-Ray executable has to be specified, as well as the name of the POV-Ray input file and the name of the image file POV-Ray should create. Furthermore, the user can specify to display coordinate axes along with the tree, or to normalize the tree dimensions of the tree (the last option isn't implemented yet). After configuring POVTReal, clicking the Render button will start POV-Ray and render the tree.
|Figure 13 - POVTReal settings
The first choice that had to be made was which model to use to generate the tree. I decided the tree had to be as realistic as possible. After a lot of research on the web I found a model that is capable of creating very realistic trees. It is described in "The Creation and Rendering of Realistic Trees" by Jason Weber and Joseph Penn [TREE]. Although the model uses quite a lot of parameters, I decided to use their model because of the (potential) good results that could be obtained with it. Another big advantage of the model is that it is able to produce both dichotomous and monopedial trees. I decided to make a seperation between the model parameters, the so-called low-level parameters, and the more general parameters like the season, the so-called high-level parameters. Some elements of the model have not been implemented yet:
These elements of the model will be implemented in future versions of TReal.Implementation
Another decision was how I would implement the funtionality of the program. I could go for a realtime OpenGL visualization of the tree. In practice this wasn't really an option because of the huge amounts of triangles a tree can consist of when the previously mentioned model is used. It would require a very heavy computer to visualize the tree in realtime OpenGL. I decided I would create an interface for the user to input the parameters of the model, and to let the user choose to what format the 3D tree should be exported. This has been made possible by making TReal completely pluginable. TReal internally generates a mesh representation of the tree, which the selected plugin uses to create a 3D representation in the format of the 3D program the plugin was written for. Currently, only one plugin exists (for the raytracer POV-Ray) but it is fairly easy to create additional plugins for 3D Studio Max or other mainstream 3D programs.Programming language
The next decision I had to make was the programming language I would use. I choose for Borland Delphi 6.0, since I had quite a lot of experience with this language. Currently, there exists only a 32-bit Windows version of TReal, but it should be possible in theory to use Borland Kylix to port TReal to other platforms. Furthermore, with the IDE of Borland Delphi it is possible to create a nice user interface in a reasonable short time.
When the user chooses to render the tree, at first an internal representation of the tree is created. A tree is a TTree object, consisting of a Trunk of the type TStem. Every stem has a list of substems. The tree is recursively generated by first growing the trunk, then all the children of the trunk and so on. The last level in the recursion are the leaves.
The stems consist of a list of sections; in fact 'circles' (when lobing is used these circles are deformed) defined by a number of vertices. More vertices per section of a stem at recursion level n positively influences the quality of stems at recursion level n. The number of vertices can be specified by the user (this is in fact an extra parameter I've added to the model). Every stem and every section making up a stem have a local coordinate system associated with it. When writing the section vertices to the internal representation of the tree, these local coordinates are converted to global coordinates. Please note that all the classes implementing the scaling, rotating, matrices operations, and coordinate conversions have been written by me.
The tree definition is stored as a list of values in a text file. Currently, the structure of a tree definition file is very strict, and editing of the tree definition file using a text editor is almost impossible, because none of the values has a description associated with it.
All the internal settings of TReal and POVTReal are stored in the registry, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Green Hill Software\TReal and HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Green Hill Software\POVTReal respectively.
The following section contains some pictures produced by POV-Ray to illustrate what TReal and POVTReal are capable of. On my PC (1400MHz, 256MB RAM) the quaking aspen took 3 minutes and 11 seconds to render (being the fastest) and the Tamarack took almost 14 (!) minutes to render (being the slowest).

|Figure 17 - Sassafras

There are still some features on my wish list. The following features will probably be implemented in future versions of TReal and POVTReal:

BERLIN 2012: Berlin Festival Honors Sound Pioneer Ray Dolby
Berlin festival director Dieter Kosslick will present Dolby with a Berlinale Camera award on Feb. 16.
COLOGNE, Germany - Ray Dolby, the sound engineer who revolutionized cinema acoustics with his Dolby Stereo systems, will be honored at this year's Berlin international film festival with a Berlinale Camera. The honor is presented to film personalities or institutions the Berlin festival feels "particularly indebted to and wishes to thank." The 70-year-old Dolby will travel to Berlin to receive his award at a ceremony on Feb.16.
Dolby's system of using multiple loudspeakers and multi-channel technology - first through his Dolby Stereo system introduced in 1975, later through Dolby Digital surround sound - set new acoustic standards for both theatrical and home cinema.
He received an Academy Award in 1989 for his "contribution to motion picture sound" as well as a lifetime achievement Emmy in 2003. He remains director emeritus of Dolby Laboratories, which he founded in 1965. His son David Dolby sits on the board of directors.
The 62nd Berlin international film festival runs Feb. 9-19.

Miss Fortune Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
My build for Miss Fortune is a simple high damage farm build. I only played her a few times since Miss Fortune was released on friday. I found a few similar builds but I like mine the best because it is simple to play and does high damage.
I wanted to make a build with high attack speed but since you get mana problems easily I decided to add Manamune (it is not in Mobafire yet so I just added the recipe: Tear of Goddess and Long Sword but as soon as it is in here I will change it) to the build and so it became a high damage build. The skill Impure Shots makes Miss Fortune pretty fast so I concentrated on it.
Since Miss Fortune has very low health you have to be very careful so you dont get ganked. Ghost and Exhaust help very much if you want to escape. In 1v1 battles you can use Exhaust to take less damage or to keep the enemy at distance. Since Miss Fortune is pretty fast when out of combat you can run away the moment someone calls a miss. When the missing enemies are back you can join the fight again in a few seconds because of your passive. So play carefully then you will level faster than anyone else. She is also good for destroying towers because she can kill minion waves in 2 seconds and with Impure Shots active her damage is insane.
Explanations - Why this items/tactics:
Many people chose items to make her even faster or make her do even more damage. But I can explain every single item in my build and with Impure Shots 85% attack speed is enough.
Dorans Blade: Health and attack for beginning.
Berserkers Greaves: High attack speed early in the game.
Vampiric Scepter: Early lifesteal - very useful.
Manamune: All mana problems solved + damage. No mana runes or masteries needed.
Phantom Dancer: Attack Speed!
Frozen Mallet: The slow makes it harder for enemies to dodge Bullet Time and Make it rain / The damage is useful since it is a AD build / The Health is also useful since she is so squishy.
Bloodthirster: Huge damage/Lifesteal
Infinity Edge: With Infinity Edge in the buold you have a 50% crit chance (with 250% damage) so every second attack crits. Since we concentrated on Impure Shots and Attack Speed items you can hit twice every second dealing 307 + 767 Damage so more than a thousand damage every second.
Trinity Force: Very useful! I use it instead of Frozen Mallet-
Why this skill sequence?
I chose to skill Make it Rain first because of a simple reason. With Make it Rain you can kill first minion wave faster than the enemy so you will be lvl 2 faster than him and then you can skill Double Up. Ok - when you skill DU first you hurt your enemy from the very beginning but you kill minions slower. With Make it Rain you are lvl 2 very fast much faster than with Double up. So in the end you make more damage with Make it Rain as first skill. Also strange is the fact that my first lvl 5 ability is Impure Shots but I already mentioned the answer "why" before: With Impure Shots active your attack speed is insane even without more AS items.
How to use abilities:
Double up: In early game aim it at minions to hit hiding enemy Champions. Later you can use it for 1v1 fights too even if that means the second hit is wasted.
Impure Shots: Main ablity. Use it in fight against enemies/towers.
Make it rain: Early games against minions (try to hit melee fighters with it too) later it is pretty useful in team fights (as soon as you have Frozen Mallet) since many enemies will stand on the same place. You can use it in 1v1 battles too: Aim it at yourself if yu fight against melee CHampions and aim it at enemy position against ranged fighters to make him move (move = no attack ^^). You should not go out of mana even if you use it many times but still I would only use it against strong enemies. Else it would be a waste.
Bullet Time: You can kill whole minion waves with it or aim at enemies in teamfights. 1v1 it is not too useful but you can use it if the fights very hard. With Frozen Mallet it is hard for enemies to dodge it. You may think it is a waste to use ultimate on minions but in that case it is not. If enemy-minions are pushing and you want to make a counter attack you can (like I already mentioned) kill whole waves with it. So you can turn a enemy push fast into a push of your team.
- High attack damage and speed
- Fast levelling
- Good for farming
- Easy to play
- Squishy
- Mana Problems in early game
Try it out and rate/comment ! :)
Like I mentioned before I only played her a few times so I will probably change some things so check for updates now and then!

Okay. I sorta feel like I'm 10 years old or something posting a "first kiss" article.
Here is the "first kiss" from Justice League #12 of Superman and Wonder Woman locking lips.
The Justice League issue is becoming quite the phenomenon as even Match.com gets in on the action (Match.com?) and they get the first reveal of the kiss as well as conducted a profile on the two Justice Leaguers.
Personally, I don't find this that big of a deal. Lois is out of the picture, and really, having some young super powered half naked individuals together on a team is bound to cause at least a couple of them to hook up.
Still, of course it is "Superman" and "Wonder Woman."
Wonder how long it will last?
A five page preview of the issue can be found here; it's out Wednesday.

Rumors has been around since 2008, and in that time we've consulted on a wide range of projects. We've prepared publishers for coming changes in digital book distribution; shown institutions how to make their archives open and engaging; and helped businesses use design to lay the groundwork for long-term growth. Our work reflects its context, serves its audience, and conveys its ideas through structure, behavior, and form.
We begin each project by asking questions and conducting research. Sometimes these questions are hard, and sometimes our research turns up unanticipated results, but that's good! We're hired to provide an outside perspective, and careful planning lets us make thoughtful decisions based on the resources and needs at hand.
This investigation is the foundation for our design process, which prioritizes intuition and improvisation. Loose design ideas are revised, discussed, and eventually honed into comprehensive visual systems. These systems bridge identity, print, and interactive experiences — and since we're as concerned with the way things behave as with how they look, we code what we design ourselves.
We've taught, lectured, and given workshops nationwide; been included in design magazines, festivals, and exhibitions internationally; and been awarded by organizations like the AIGA, Print, and the Society of Publication Designers. For general enquiries, including availability, lectures, or publications, please contact us at email@example.com.

Tom Brady, Ultimate Bro, Tried Really Hard to Dance to 'Trap Queen' and Migos
Gronk has some competition.
When he's not getting caught up in pun-laden scandals about deflated footballs, Tom Brady spends his free time doing embarrassing things, like begging his teammates for a high five. At last night's Super Bowl ring ceremony, with all cell phone cameras on Tom, his teammates, and (for some reason) Wiz Khalifa, Brady did what Brady does best. Here he is attempting to dethrone Rob Gronkowsi as the Patriots' biggest bro in a dance battle for the ages — set, of course, to Fetty Wap's "Trap Queen" and Migos. Never change, Tom.

Legislations relating to Environmental Awareness
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Environment Act 1995
The Environmental Protection Act 1990 (as amended in 2008) and the Environment Act 1995 say that anyone who produces, handles or disposes of waste must make sure it's done properly and safely. Businesses and households that don't comply can be given fines or even prison sentences. The Control of Pollution Act 1974 and its 1989 Amendment regulate waste transportation and disposal, water pollution, air pollution and noise pollution, with fines for non-compliance. The EU Emissions Trading Scheme covers 31 countries. It limits the total amount of certain greenhouse gases that factories, power plants and airlines are allowed to emit, and lets companies buy, sell or trade their emission allowances.
It shall be a defence for a person charged under this act to prove: a) that he took all reasonable precautions and exercised all due diligence to to avoid the commission of the offence; or b) that he acted under instructions from his employer and neither knew nor had reason to suppose that the acts done by him constituted a contravention of [the Environmental Protection Act].
Other legislations relating to environmental awareness in the UK
The Clean Air Act 1993 places legal limits and prohibitions on smoke, fumes, dust and grit coming from fireplaces or furnaces in homes or business properties. It also regulates the composition of fuels used in cars and other engines.
The Water Resources Act 1991, Water Industry Act 1991, and Water Act 2003 regulate the supply, management, quality and pollution of water in the UK, as well as flood defences.
The Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981 and the Natural Environment and Communities Act 2006 cover the protection of native wildlife, management of non-native species, and the conservation of nature reserves, sites of specific scientific interest, and other natural environments.
The Waste Electronic and Electrical Equipment Regulations 2006 (amended in 2009) covers the environmental performance of businesses that manufacture, supply, use, recycle and recover electrical equipment.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international treaty - an agreement between countries to help reduce our GLOBAL carbon footprint.

Kenan Sofuoglu: A Different Path
August 20, 2012
On track Kawasaki Lorenzini's 2012 star signing Kenan Sofuoglu is an uncommonly fast record breaker, but it is off track that he really differs from most other riders.
Until Turkey's Kenan Sofuoglu (27) started impacting on the WSS record books a few seasons ago, riders from the vast country that straddles both the European West and the Asian East were hard to spot. The reason was simple. Kenan and his family virtually invented the concept of there being a top class Turkish motorcycle racer in the first place.
Nineteen WSS career wins, 45 podiums from 65 starts, and two World Championships with another manufacturer in both 2007 and 2010 mean that Sofuoglu has now reinvented the word 'success' in WSS terms.
He's still at it, leading the standings on his Kawasaki Lorenzini Ninja ZX-6R as he has for most of
the year. Along the way he has had to put up with a recurring left knee injury that would have floored lesser men, faced tough competition all the way and even more recently he's had some restrictions in his day-to-day life that very few bike racers can even imagine.
As a devout follower of Islam, Sofuoglu observes Ramadan, a month of fasting in the daylight hours. Hardly what a sports scientist would recommend in the run-up to races.
As Kenan explains, his religious observance is non-optional but, to a degree, flexible. "Ramadan is
very important for Muslim people, for us it is the most important month in the year. It is a little
bit difficult because it is already in the summer and days are hot and long, but at the end of the
daylight it is good because then we can start eating and we have a celebration every night. Up to
Thursday, as the race weekend approaches, I still observe Ramadan. But Friday, Saturday and Sunday, I treat those like a normal day and I am eating and drinking regularly because it is necessary for the energy of the body. But at the end of Ramadan I have six days I have 'borrowed', for the two races, so I will do six extra days of Ramadan."
A Whole New World
Having started his international career in Germany, in a one make series that he won despite a slow start; Sofuoglu's career has encompassed Superstock 1000 racing, WSS, Moto2, and now a return to WSS. It has also encompassed loss and even simple loneliness that has moulded him into a tough and effective competitor, for whom losing is not an option. It never was.
His racing life story is best told by the man himself.
"There were three of us brothers racing in Turkey. My family decided as I was the youngest one that I should go to Europe. But we did not have so much money. We found out that there was a way to do it by paying about 12,000 Euros for a one make Yamaha Cup series in Germany. In the beginning I was really slow, not even in the top ten. But after two races I got really strong and then I won every race and then the championship."
It was a hard year for a young man away from home and in a different cultural world. "I did not
have a rich family behind me and I did not know anything about Germany, I did not know German or English languages, it was really difficult but I cannot stop because all the family put everything
on me. I think at this time all the hard things made me strong for the future. I loved racing but I
had no other option but to race. All these kinds of things give me the feeling that I must do it
even after many hard things in my life."
Hardest of Times
Hard is how it has been for the whole Sofuoglu family from the start. Kenan again: "When I raced in
Turkey many people said to my family, 'What are you doing, why have three riders in one family? You are not afraid?' Also, people in Turkey do not know so much motorsports. Of course racing is
dangerous, life is dangerous, but it was difficult for us to be understood that we race on special
tracks, that it is a special sport. My elder brother Bahattin, when he tried to walk across the
street a car hit him and he died. After this people began to realise that he had raced for many years on motorcycles but he was killed walking down the street. Then people stopped to put pressure on my family and accepted our racing.
The hardest time was when my other older brother Sinan died in the Turkish championship during
training. I was in Monza racing in Superbike at this time, in 2008. He was my last brother and when he died people all said that I should definitely stop racing because I had already been a world champion in Supersport in 2007.
"My father supported me and said 'that is life, you love racing so you must make your decision.' My mother really wanted me to stop racing. But then I thought what would I do if I stopped? I really love it and I have been doing it since I was three years old. And we never know when life is over. The only problem was that I was really afraid to crash that year and I had a really bad year in Superbike. But my Ten Kate team put me out in Supersport in the final round of 2008 and I won the race. If I wouldn't have done that race and won it, maybe I would have stopped racing. The victory gave me power and a good feeling so I continued racing. I did not win the title again in 2009, but sometimes when you do not win it makes you more determined to fight for it even more. I won in 2010 and it gave me the idea to go to Moto2 as a wildcard in the very end of 2010."
A full year in Moto2 in 2011 did not work out well partly because of a lack of feel with his machine but before the beginning of the 2011 season Kenan had also lost his biggest supporter, his father.
"He never came to see me racing but he was always behind me, helping me," said Kenan. "If I had a problem I would speak with him and discuss with him what to do. So when I lost him I was thinking maybe I really should stop. I already had a contract so I had to race in Moto2. But I had no motivation for racing. My feeling was really not good. I thought after half a year I would be fine, but I was really broken."
New and Old
For 2012, Kenan found something new and something old to focus on. The new was riding as an official competitor on a Kawasaki Lorenzini Ninja ZX-6R. The old was to go back to WSS and shoot for title number three. "I was happy to make the contract with Kawasaki and I had something new in my life and I am really hungry again. I wanted a team that would allow me to win the races. Kawasaki can give me what I need."
Kenan has had some serious issues with his knee after an Imola testing crash, however. "I had a really big crash, it hurt really badly. I have had three operations in four of five months. But the last operation I was really happy and at the race afterwards I had no problem."
It is amazing that Sofuoglu has been able to ride so effectively on a knee that stops him pushing the bike around as much as he would like, but for him, it is all about the race, not the sheer pace.
"I have a different point of view from most other riders," said Kenan. "On Friday, Saturday and warm-up on Sunday I am just working towards the race, not preparing the bike for one lap. I make sure that the bike and I can do the full race. I do a lot of training in Turkey and I have my own Supermoto training track. In the past three races you could see I have gotten stronger and stronger. Also this year the Pirelli tyre really helps me, because I can still do fast times at the end."
Strongest Team
"I think all together my feeling is good, the bike and electronics are good, and the tyres are working well. Even in the rain when my goal is just to make a podium. But in the dry conditions I think we can always try to fight to win the race. I am confident with the bike this year, the package is great and I know my competition - what they can and cannot do. I think we are the strongest ones, but sometimes you need also luck to be champion. I have lost a lot of points already but if we do not get some more big things happening then I think we can get the title. Looking at our pace and our results; I think we are the best team at the moment."
Sofuoglu has a routine on race weekends and in his training schedule but we do not want to give too much away. But getting prepared for Kenan on race day is relatively simple.
"I make myself as relaxed and happy as possible on racedays. Things like having a very nice breakfast; I just try to make everything perfect. Then I wait until the red lights. The best thing I like about racing is when I see the red lights, just before the start."

INTAS 2005-1000008-7870Project ID: INTAS 2005-1000008-7870
Funded under:
Polymorphic variations in apoptotic genes and cancer predisposition
Project details
Total cost:EUR 106 000
EU contribution:EUR 150 000
Coordinated in:Netherlands
The efficiency of DNA damage response is a subject of normal populational variations. The reduced ability to combat DNA alterations is associated with cancer susceptibility and can be attributed either to deficient DNA repair or, alternatively, to suboptimal cell death capacity. While the relationships between cancer risk and polymorphism of DNA repair genes are being intensively studied, the alternative aspect of the DNA damage response, i.e. apoptosis, has been unjustly overlooked in the research of tumour-associated gene polymorphisms.
This project is aimed at testing the hypothesis whether single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the reduced apoptotic capacity contribute to the increased cancer risk. The following activities will be carried out:
1) Identification and validation of functional and tagging SNPs in apoptosis genes:
a) Identification of already known SNPs in research publications and Internet databases;
b) Validation of the occurrence of 'dubious' SNP by real-time AS-PCR genotyping;
c) Search for the new SNPs in previously non-tested genes by direct DNA sequencing.
2) Study on the role of apoptosis-related SNPs in cancer predisposition:
a) Preliminary study of the involvement of SNP candidates in breast cancer (BC) and lung cancer (LC) susceptibility: 'comparison of extremes' approach;
b) Traditionally designed, large case-control study for the promising SNP candidates. 3) Study on the functional significance of SNPs in apoptotic genes: analysis of correlation between individual genotype and the extent of apoptosis in lymphocytes exposed to DNA damaging dose of ionizing radiation.
4) Comparison of the rate of DNA damage induced apoptosis in lymphocytes isolated from cancer patients vs. healthy controls.
5) Comparison of radiation-induced transcriptional activation of apoptotic genes in 'high' vs. 'poor' apoptotic responders using cDNA array profiling and RT-PCR analysis.
If successful, the project will significantly improve the fundamental understanding of mechanisms of cancer susceptibility as well as facilitate the development of practical approaches for the detection of at-risk individuals.

OMAM Character Analysis
- Created by: Abbie
- Created on: 15-05-13 13:35
Lennie Small
Simple character with a powerful impact. (a big man in contrast with his name).
Lennie is big and strong which is conveyed through animalisation, along with having no control over his actions. He evidently has a learning difficulty of some kind, leading to his apparent younger mental age and lack of awareness of the world around him.
He has a love of feeling soft materials, such as the dress of the girl back in Weed, mice, puppies, Curley's wife's hair and of course, rabbits. His american dream is basically to 'tend the rabbits'.
He is, however, extremely physically strong, and is not aware of it, which is why he accidentally kills mice while stroking them, accidentallly kills the puppy and then Curley's wife.
When he is unsure of what to do and he knows he may be in trouble, he just freezes.
He earns the readers sympathy because of his utter helplessness in the face of the events that unfold. Lennie is totally defenceless. He cannot avoid the dangers presented by Curley, Curleys wife, or the world at large.
George Milton
Embodies the ideal of the noble working man, self-sacrificing and honest, co-dependent with Lennie.
Other characters are puzzled by George's travelling with Lennie. 'Say - What you sellin'? I said what stake you got in this guy? You takin' his pay away from him?' (A43, P24)
George is an intelligent man and has practical foresight, as he tells Lennie to come and hide by the pool if he ever gets into trouble. Another characteristic, is his quick-wittedness.
George is the story's main protagonist, a small, quick man with well-defined features. A migrant ranch worker, George dreams of one day saving enough money to buy his own place and be his own boss, living off of the land.
The hindrance to his objective is his mentally handicapped companion, Lennie. The majority of George's energy is devoted to looking after Lennie, whose blunders prevent George from working toward his dream, or even living the life of a normal rancher.
George complains that he could have an easy time without Lennie. However, you might ask yourself if he stays with Lennie purely out of a sense of moral duty. Although he says that Lennie is 'dumb as hell' (A65, P43) & 'a hell of a good worker, strong as a bull'.
Candy is an elderly man, a 'lousy ol' sheep', who has a permanent job- keeping the bunkhouse clean. 'a tall, stoop-shouldered old man' (A38, P19). His stooping body language suggests hopelessness as well as age. He has lost his hand in an accident on the ranch, which is why his job is permanent. Candy received some compensation, shows that Steinbeck is being fair to ranch owners, not just portraying them as selfish exploiters. Candy lost his hand suggests that health and safety standards were poor, as well as Candy being a victim of a life of work.
Candy has already lost his hand and during the story he loses his dog and dream.
Candy is also a gossip. For example, he tells George about Curley keeping one hand 'soft for his wife' (A49, P30). Candy calls Curley 'scrappy' and his wife 'a tart'. Candys gossipy nature, is a narrative device by which Steinbeck can quickly reveal information about the characters.
The old, one-handed swamper who is the first to befriend George and Lennie at Soledad. Humble and weary, Candy seems to be at the end of his line after Carlson shoots his last possession and companion, his old, blind dog.
The Boss
The boss is 'a little stocky man' who wears jeans like a working man but also 'high-heeled boots and spurs to prove he was not a laboring man' (A41, P22).
The boss gives his men whisky to get drunk on at Christmas. He is said to take his anger out on Crooks, the black stable buck, at times, but at least he keeps him on at the ranch.
the boss suspects George of exploiting Lennie, but this suggests that he has a sense of justice. 'What stake you got in this guy? You taking his pay away from him'. (P24).
The boxer, the son of the boss, the angry and hot-headed obstacle to George's attempt to keep Lennie out of trouble at Soledad. The insecurity of his size and over-protective of his wife makes him aggressive and he picks fights with the wrong men, as Lennie who is strong.
Curley is eager to fight anyone he perceives as a threat to his self-image. From the outset, Lennie unwittingly incurs Curley's antagonism simply because of his size, and the reader immediately braces for future confrontation.
He makes the most of being the boss's son, ordering George and Lennie around. Candy says that Curley keeps one hand in a glove full of vaseline in order to keep it soft for his wife. If this is true, it suggests that Curley likes to think of himself as a good lover. However, he does not seem to be loving towards his wife.
He is jealously suspicious that she might take an interest in other men.
When she dies, his reaction is not grief at losing her but anger and a desire for revenge: 'He worked himself into a fury. "I'm gonna get him. I'm going for my shotgun. I'll kill the big son-of-a-***** myself"' (A133, P105) He seems to see his wife as a possession that has been stolen from him.
Curley's Wife
Lonely, naive and dissapointed woman; represents the situation of poor, uneducated women in 1930s America.
Nameless and flirtatious, Curley's wife is perceived by Candy to be the cause of all that goes wrong at Soledad: "Ever'body knowed you'd mess things up. You wasn't no good" (104-105), he says to her dead body in his grief. Curley's wife adds complexity to her own characterization, confessing to Lennie that she dislikes Curley because he is angry all the time and saying that she comes around because she is lonely and just wants someone with whom to talk. Like George and Lennie, she once had a dream of becoming an actress and living in Hollywood, but it went unrealized, leaving her full of self-pity, married to an angry man, living on a ranch without friends, and viewed as a trouble-maker by everyone.
She is never called anything else, except 'Curley's Wife', never given a proper name. The ranch hands see her as something belonging to Curley (a possesion like a piece of furniture). This is partly because they do not want to risk their jobs by being friendly to her and upsetting Curley.
Never actually see Curley and his wife together except when she is dead. They make occasional appearances looking for each other, but they never find each other. Curley's jealous suspicion makes him look for her, and she probably looks for him out of boredom.
The tall, jerkline skinner whom Steinbeck describes as something of a living legend: "he moved with a majesty only achieved by royalty and master craftsmen. He was a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch, capable of driving ten, sixteen, even twenty mules with a single line to the leaders. He was capable of killing a fly on the wheeler's **** with a bull whip without touching the mule. There was gravity in his manner and a quiet so profound that all talk stopped when he spoke. . . His hatchet face was ageless. He might have been thirty-fice or fifty. HIs ear heard more than was said to him, and his slow speech had overtones not of thought, but of understanding beyond thought" (37). Slim lingers in the shadow of his overwhelming description throughout the novel. He serves as the fearless, decision-maker when conflicts arise among the workers and wins the confidence of George, offering advice, comfort, and quiet words of wisdom.
Slim is the only worker who is not intimidated by Curley's wife. He comments on her appearance to give her the attention she is so desperate for. This also shows he is not scared of Curley.
'Big, tall skinner.' Slim is described as 'the prince of the ranch' as he is respected and 'his word was taken on any subject'. When he speaks, a hush falls on the room. Even when he stands up, he does so 'slowly and with dignity' (A58, P39).
'Proud and aloof man' who would like to have human contact but would rather reject it than be rejected.
Called Crooks because of a crooked spine, Steinbeck does not develop Crooks, the ***** stable buck, until the fourth chapter, describing him as a "proud, aloof man. He kept his distance and demanded that other people keep theirs" (74). He creates this person to hide his loneliness and people who try to come into his room get a frosty reception. Privacy is one of the few rights he has.
Crooks is bitter, indignant, angry, and ultimately frustrated by his helplessness as a black man in a racist culture. Although tempted by Candy, Lennie, and George's plan to buy their own place, Crooks is constantly reminded (in this case by Curley's wife) that he is inferior to whites and, out of pride, he refuses to take part in their future farm.
Crooks is a stable buck - he looks after the horses and mules.
'a powerful, big-stomached man'
He is sensitive to Candy's feelings about the dog, being mostly concerned about its smell. However, he does suggest to Slim that he should give Cnady one of his puppies, and he does argue tht it would be a kindness to shoot the old dog.
'Now what the hell ya suppose is eatin' them two guys?' (A149, P118). He fails to understand that George, and even Slim, could be upset by Lennie's death. Carlson is insensitive, he sees Lennies death as practical and therefore he doesn't feel any emotions - Lennie had to be killed so he was.
George Milton (2)
There is 'foreshadowing' of Steinbeck preparing us for George's mercy killing of Lennie by Candy's comment 'I ought to of shot that dog myself, George. I shouldn't ought to of let no stranger shoot my dog' (A89, P67). -George doesn't let a stranger shoot Lennie.
Curley (2)
Being disliked makes him as isolated as other characters nobody likes him, even his wife doesn't. Curley is an outsider who craves respect and attention.
The boxer, the son of the boss, the angry and hot-headed obstacle to George's attempt to keep Lennie out of trouble at Soledad. Insecure of his size and over-protective of his wife, Curley is eager to fight anyone he perceives as a threat to his self-image. From the outset, Lennie unwittingly incurs Curley's antagonism simply because of his size, and the reader immediately braces for future confrontation. Curley remains undeveloped, forever little and forever mean, poking his head in at various points in the novel, either to look for his wife or to stir up trouble on account of her.
Curley's Wife (2)
Before we meet her in person, we hear about her from Candy. He tells George that he has seen her 'give Slim the eye', and that she is 'a tart' (A49-50,P30-31). Slim is the only person who will talk to Curley's wife. The others know that Curley will want to fight them and they will lose their job.
When we meet Curley's wife in person, Steinbeck reinforces the negative image created by Candy.
'She had full, rouged lips and wide-spaced eye, heavily made up. Her fingernails were red. Her hair hung in little rolled clusters, like sausages'.
Her body language seems sexually provocative: 'She put her hands behind her back and leaned against the door frame so that her body was thrown forward.'
Steinbeck's portrayal of Curley's Wife is at its most sympathetic just before she dies, in the scene in the barn with Lennie.
'A pigeon flew in through the open hay door and circled and flew out again.' This represents Curley's wife's short life, due to the circle of life.
Crooks (2)
Crooks' shotgun and alarm show he is practical and active, furthermore his clock shows he had to get up early. His room is basic and hen sleeps on straw, like a horse. He has a room of his own because he is a relatively permanent skilled worker on the ranch, and because, being black, he is not allowed in the bunk house.
Through the character Crooks, Steinbeck is showing how black people were treated in America in 1930s. Crooks is the focus of the fourth section of the novel.
His books and magazines, however, have nothing do with work. They mark him out as an intelligent and literature man. His copy of the 'California civil code' suggests that he has an interest in justice even if he is unlikely to get it. He has lots of possessions shows he is permanent as they only have the possessions they can carry on their back.

ECSU Wins Rematch With Chris. Newport To Eliminate Captains, Advance To Semifinals
May 23, 2010
By Dan Myers
Special to NCAA.com
EAU CLAIRE, Wis. -- The NCAA Division III Softball Championships saw its first rematch Sunday night at Carson Park, when Eastern Connecticut State and Christopher Newport met for a second time over the weekend.
Missing its starting pitcher in Friday's first meeting, ECSU was no match for Christopher Newport in an 8-0 loss in five innings.
With Molly Rathbun back in the fold Sunday, the Warriors exacted their revenge, winning 5-2 and eliminating the Captains from the tournament.
The win means Eastern Connecticut will play Linfield Monday at noon for a chance to play in the Division III national championship game.
Rathbun threw all seven innings for the Warriors, allowing two runs and six hits, walking four and striking out four.
Eastern Connecticut State rallied from an early 1-0 deficit, scoring two runs in the bottom of the third inning to grab their first lead. Katie Dinihanian singled to lead off the inning and was driven in on an RBI double by Ashley Sullivan. A sacrifice bunt moved Sullivan to third and she scored one batter later on a sac fly to left by Rathbun.
Jordan Beadles stole home in the next half inning to tie the game at two, but ECSU tacked on two more in the bottom of the fourth to take the lead for good. It was another single by Dinihanian that did the damage this time, knocking in two. She finished the day 3-for-3 at the plate. Kassondra Silva and Priscilla Alicea each added a pair of hits for ECSU.
Christopher Newport's Ashley Mani went 3-for-4 at the plate.

Monster Energy Kawasaki Finishes Strong in Season Opener
January 12, 2016
Irvine, CA (January 11, 2016) - Monster Energy® Kawasaki® came into the 2016 Monster Energy AMA Supercross, an FIM Championship season opener in Anaheim, feeling strong and rejuvenated. Newest team member Eli Tomac came out swinging, winning his heat race in impressive fashion. At the gate drop of the Main Event, the hard charging Kawasaki rider found himself second coming out of the first turn. Tomac would race in the lead pack throughout the 20 lap Main Event just missing a podium position, finishing fourth in his debut on the KX™450F. His teammate Wil Hahn took the long way to the Main Event, taking the win in the last chance qualifier. Starting from a poor gate selection in the Main Event, Hahn rode consistently strong laps in his first supercross race since Toronto in 2014.
Before the racing began, a couple of supercross legends took to the racetrack for a parade lap. Fans were ecstatic to see Kawasaki brand ambassadors Jeremy "Showtime" McGrath and four-time supercross Champion Ryan Villopoto riding side by side.
Recently retired Kawasaki Engine Development Technician Rick Asch was given the Mickey Thompson lifetime achievement award on the podium during a break in the racing action. Asch was an integral part of Kawasaki Racing and the team congratulates Rick for 36 years of dedication and for his role in 32 Kawasaki championships.

Burning out after almost 25 years
I've been in ltc for almost 25years and I hate to say it but I'm tired. I'm an LPN on a 20-25 bed unit working with 2 nursing assistants. I know this sounds like a small unit to some of you, but it is the behavior of the residents that make it so hard. I have 2 residents that frequently need 1:1 (remember there are only 3 of us on this unit), so I am often passing meds while having a resident sit in a wc by my cart, or having a resident behind the desk while I do my charting. I also have a resident who likes to throw food, so I end up with my scrubs decorated to the point that my RN supervisor asked me one time if I wore my scrubs while painting because of all the splatters. I have 2 residents who are very physically agressive, and feel it is a good day if I leave without a new scratch or bruise. On top of this I have a resident who will turn the call bell on--and if not answered within 30 seconds begins to scream like her hair is on fire. The rest of my residents are the typical mix of physically/mentally/cognitively impaired adults we are all used to.
Despite all this, there are still moments that I would not give this up for the world. I do love my residents, I just don't know how much longer I can physically/mentally take this.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Don't tell me to talk to the supervisor/administrator---I've tried, and was told if I can't handle it I should look for another job.

I applaud you for working in LTC for so long-it is a very hard job mentally and physically. I think maybe you should try out another area of nursing before you burn out and lose your passion for nursing all together.

nudity reviews for Richard Armitage member submitted
Series 8 episode 4
Richard is forced to strip naked and change into a jumpsuit of some kind. You can see rear nudity from a distance, as he takes off his briefs, and then a very nice, quick close shot of his curvaceous, smooth buttocks as he puts the jumpsuit on.
British drama series about a sex therapist. In the second episode, Armitage - a tall, attractive bloke - has a sex scene with Julie Graham, during which we get two well-lit shots of his bum.
In the fifth episode, Armitage features in another sex scene with Julie Graham. First we get a couple of close-ups of his backside as Graham massages it; there's an extremely nice full-length shot as he rolls over on the bed and finally a few shots of his backside as he and Graham 'do it'. Very satisfying!

Ok, so I backed this on Kickstarter and I have played it. I'm giving it a middling score and would edge that closer to the good side. I like the concept of a stripped down, easy to learn and easy to use game system. My intention being to hand this off to an 11 year old boy to have his own special RPG he could learn on.
With that in mind, here's my review.
I found the overall idea of a central theme (Focus) to be a fun idea. And it works for the most part. I just found myself having to go back and re-read and re-read through the materials to pick up the actual "rules" of the game. I felt like I was gleaning a rule here and there. To that end I think a general rewrite to clean up the presentation of the material would really help.
The game itself reminded me somewhat of Megatraveller where two skill of your choice would be applied to make the basis of your dice checks. In this case D6xD6 presents the idea of an Occupation which allows you to dramatically speed up the character generation and really become whatever you want it to be and encompass. Coupled with focuses these become the basis of your dice checks. One persons Wizard may be able to do many kinds of magic by virtue of his occupation, while someone else's wizard may be "focused" on elemental magic and not competent with other types. Seems to me to be your choice.
To me this game is ripe for house rules. It is definitely not fully realized in terms of a catalog of monster, weapons, equipment, economy, etc which is to be expected since the game itself allows you to play any genre you want. In my opinion it relies on you as a GM to spend a fair bit of effort creating your enemies, equipment, and such if you're going to run a bit of a classic fantasy hack-n-slash. This is not a bad thing, just something to prepare for. Again the system is flexible enough to let you play on the fly but spending the time to develop your menagerie first. Conversely I think it would probably shine in terms of just role playing through a story.
Combat a little different and reminded me more of some of the modern video games. No hit points here. Just a scale that you go from Good to Bad to Worse. Different actions can push this up or down. It's a scale of effect. A powerful gun scales up the damage, a set of armor scales down the damage and if you end up taking a hit then you go from Good to Hurt to Really hurt, to :P
Visually the look feels very much like someone with photo shop decided to do most the art work. Not terrible but didn't exactly feel like it fit to me. I think the book would have been better served to find a local artist to do some simple pen drawings. Even to this day I still remember those simple Willingham and Elmore drawings in the basic D&D book that were simple but let your imagination fill in the gaps.
My overall impression is this game concept is good and definitely worth the money. You can easily modify it with house rules to make a game that really fits your style and you can play literally anything (just like Champions). In my opinion it wants a clearer terminology (dice rolls and dice totals), a cleaner presentation of the material, and some full blown examples of game play would be really nice.
