The shock of the moment was so unnerving that several players instantly fell to their knees and buried the sides of their faces in their hands.
Others, after several moments went by, leaned over to teammates and offered consoling hugs and burly, dirt-stained shoulders to help hide the tears.
When the Virginia Cavaliers huddled for their final postgame talk of the 2011 season, the pain was seared on their faces. Those seemingly indelible markings of sorrow were tough to look beyond.
Surely, the first thought in some of their minds was, why? Why, after a year in which they were dubbed the best team in America entering postseason play, did it all have to come to such an abrupt, screeching halt? Why weren't they able to prove they deserved the No. 1 ranking the media and public had bestowed upon them?
Coach Brian O'Connor swiftly addressed those concerns.
"Some people might feel that you're the No. 1 national seed and maybe you failed," he said, recanting his postgame speech. "But that certainly is not the case."
Despite falling to South Carolina 3-2 in the 13th inning of one of the most epic games in College World Series history, the Cavaliers had a school-record 56-win season, reached their farthest postseason point in school history, boasted one of the nation's top pitching staffs and even bid adieu to a player taken second in the Major League Baseball draft.
The Cavaliers chartered home from Omaha on Saturday afternoon and were greeted by nearly 1,100 fans at Davenport Field. The 90-minute ceremony included a highlight video and on-field autograph session with players and coaches.
Virginia's home attendance ranked 19th nationally last season, and this month the Cavaliers attracted capacity crowds of 5,050 for five of six home NCAA tournament games.
"I've got a tremendous amount of pride in this team and what they accomplished this year," O'Connor said. "It's really spectacular what we did all year, and the reason ? it is is because so many different players had to emerge during the season for us to be here in Omaha right now."
There was Danny Hultzen, the ace of the staff and No. 2 overall pick of the Seattle Mariners, who may have begun pitching the most special outing of his college career Saturday night. Due to an illness, no one will ever know.
After just three innings, he had nine strikeouts. Of the 40 pitches he had thrown, 32 were strikes. He was just plain untouchable. He was his normal self.
In addition to the ACC Pitcher of the Year, the Cavaliers also boasted an undefeated senior in starter Tyler Wilson. Months after making the transition from the bullpen into the starting rotation full-time, the right-hander was virtually unhittable. He compiled a 10-0 record and a 2.24 ERA in a year that he struck out 124.
Offensively, Steven Proscia was the Cavaliers' hottest bat much of the season, leading the team in RBI entering the CWS. His only blemish came in Omaha, where he struggled and amassed just one hit.
One of the best things the Cavaliers may have gotten out of the CWS trip -- their second in school history and first since 2009 -- was big-game experience. Particularly out of their bullpen, a pair of underclassmen, sophomore Branden Kline and freshman Kyle Crockett of Poquoson, were tough down the stretch in the South Carolina game.
Crockett, who entered in the fourth for Hultzen, lasted four innings and gave up two runs to the Gamecocks. Those runs were scored off the lefty in his first inning on the mound. The rest of the way, he was tough to hit, just like Kline. Kline didn't allow a run in his five-inning, three-hit performance.
"All the coaches prepared me for the moment," Crockett said. "It was a little exhilarating going out there. Of course I was excited. But I had prepared and I was ready." This time next year, Virginia hopes to be preparing for championship week.

For anyone – young or not so – with an interest in the the tightly defined subject 'A History of the World' – Harborough Museum could be well worth a trip on Saturday 20th March.
Visitors to Harborough Museum will be invited to take up the tools of a Celtic coin minter on Saturday 20 March 2010 and make their own treasures to take home.
Neil Burridge, a craftsman specialising in Iron Age technologies will be taking part in the special event as part of the BBC and British Museum's 'A History of the World' project. Neil will be helping visitors to make coins almost identical to some of those found at Hallaton, near Market Harborough, using the same methods that our ancestors employed 2,000 years ago.

Can't say I'm delighted to be here but I can't say I'm not either. Hard living with one foot out the door sometimes. :)
I very much enjoyed my time in Perth with my wonderful Knight. Got a lot of writing done - could've done more but I wasn't just there to write. I was there to spend valuable quality time with my Knight. Ticked that box and then some. We always have fun together. Always have and I imagine always will. And now the countdown until we're together again starts in earnest all over again. It's how we roll. And it's very much worth it!
So, I'm back.
Last week I spoke to the 60's Up club in Silverstream about writing, the byte series, our bookshop and so forth. That was fantastic.
Today I spoke to year 11's at Heretaunga College about creative writing and what I do, and research and whatnot. They seemed to enjoy my research stories. Imagine that?
Thursday I'm speaking to year 12's (I think) at Heretaunga College. Will decide which video they get later. Have a few choices ... about 13 I think sitting on my Daffy duck flash drive! :)
(I bet none of you were surprised I have a Daffy Duck flash drive.)
What else?
Hmmm, might be some more Rebel interrogations soonish. Just waiting to hear from a couple of them.
Cryptobyte is coming along nicely.
Qubyte is with my publisher and I'm just waiting on the contract. It was accepted a while ago.

Small mammals play key roles in both northern ecosystems. The cyclical rise and fall of their numbers reflect similar patterns in the population levels of their predators.
Varied according to species.
From 1988 to 1999 Inuvialuit harvest data was collected through the Inuvialuit Harvest Study. In the period from 1988 to 1997, the average annual harvest reported of snowshoe hare was 348, with an average of 12 hunters per year reporting some harvest of hares. Harvest of ground squirrels is unknown.
Each of these species can be entertaining to observe.
Destruction of habitat, and climate change.
General Status: All secure except Dicrostonyx groenlandicus and Sorex ugyunak, both of which are sensitive mainly because of their restricted range in the Yukon.
No ongoing, long-term monitoring in place on the Yukon North Slope. The Gwich'in Renewable Resource Board and the NWT Department of Resource, Wildlife and Economic Development (RWED), have been collecting population trend information on snowshoe hares around the Inuvik area. This is part of a Northwest Territories-wide study on snowshoe hare population changes. In the NWT, small mammal and hare surveys have been conducted each year at specific sites since 1990, with hares generally surveyed in late-spring, early-June. http://www.grrb.nt.ca/pdf/wildlife/hare/Hare_Study_2002update.pdf
Very little work has been done on the small mammals of the North Slope. A few mammal inventory projects have made collections of species, the most recent in 2005. As part of the International Polar Year (IPY), a new project is examining lemming and vole population dynamics on Herschel Island and the coastal plain. This information is important for monitoring environmental change in the area that may be occurring because of climate change.
In 2003, the Wildlife Management Advisory Council (North Slope) and the Aklavik Hunters and Trappers Committee undertook a project to record traditional knowledge of certain birds and animals on the Yukon North Slope. The observations, comments and concerns expressed by Aklavik residents as part of this study were as follows:
Snowshoe Hare (Snowshoe Rabbit) (Lepus americanus) - Ukalliq
Shrews (Sorex tundrensis, Sorex ugyunak, Sorex monitolus) - Ugruknaq
Voles (Microtus pennsylvanicus, Microtus oeconomus, Myodes rutilus)- Avingnaq
Lemmings (Lemmus sibiricus, Dicrostonyx groenlandicus) - Avingnaq
Arctic ground squirrel (Spermophilus parryii)
Community-based information on small mammals may also be found in the reports of the annual community-based monitoring program conducted in Aklavik and neighbouring communities by the Arctic Borderlands Ecological Knowledge Co-op. http://www.taiga.net/coop/community/index.html
An elder interviewed in 2008 described an area 30 miles down river from Aklavik, where the trees stop and the willows start, where rabbits are abundant. Years ago, one family harvested 600 rabbits in one weekend here. Missionaries used to buy rabbit meat from the Inuvialuit. Rabbits were and still are important to people as a source of meat, though numbers are down from 20 years ago.

I often do a warm-up of tateyoko with the frist-year kids in my JHS, and my JTE asked me to find some variations of the usual style we play it.
How I play it: kids start standing up, I ask a question, they raise their hand and answer, they correctly answer and can pick "column", "row" or "only me" to sit down, while having the sitting kids in that line stand up again. The game ends simply ends when time is up.
Do you play in a different way that I could implement into ours to mix it up (or have any suggestions)? Thanks.

After W6R2, I realised I wasn't enjoying myself any more. In fact, I was hating it.
I loved the first 5 weeks, where I felt real progress and improvement, but I dragged myself around the 20 minutes of week 5 and didn't feel remotely motivated by having done it. All I could think was that I had to do at least that again every time for the last 3 weeks and that I had absolutely no intention of doing it.
I went back and did W5R1 with a vaguely formed plan to try and improve my endurance, speed and mental resilience with a view to trying again and it seems to be working. I've ditched Laura (sorry Laura!) as I genuinely feel the NHS music is part of the mental barrier I've created for myself, and I also found it really demotivating to hear her say "you're halfway", when I was ready to drop. I know other people find this motivating, but to me it was the absolute opposite. My own music means I know how much time I've done and what I have left to do, but because they are such great tunes (to my ears!) I keep going.
My biggest breakthrough this week is that I've also accepted that I might never run for 30 minutes non-stop on a regular basis, but if I run for 30 minutes in one session in smaller chunks on a regular basis, it's 100% more than I've ever done before and I'm losing a bit of weight and getting fitter.
I'm such a conformist in most aspects of life, that to realise I can go my own way on this has reinvigorated me!

US doctors put ethnic spin to 1998 Nairobi Embassy bombing
By Gatonye Gathura
Meru survivors of the 1998 US Embassy bombing in Nairobi suffered highest depression rates compared to victims from other ethnicities, reveals American psychologists.
In the first study in Africa to assess the mental health relationship between ethnicity and disasters, the researchers suggest various tribes are affected differently by traumatic events.
This is the second scientific study in as many years to show a clear ethnic link to specific diseases. Last year data at the Kenya Cancer Registry linked particular cancers to specific ethnic groups.
A team led by Ann Korir of the Kenya Medical Research institute surprised Kenya with data linking the occurrence of particular cancers in Nairobi to the tribal origin of afflicted people.
In the new study published last Tuesday (19th September) US psychologists investigated survivors of the 1998 terrorist attack by ethnicity and now report Meru victims to have developed the highest rates of mental illnesses.
"Post-disaster major depression was more prevalent among members of the Meru group, compared with all others in the study," says the study appearing in the journal Disaster Medicine and Public Health Preparedness.
Doctors from the University of Texas, Duke University, University of Oklahoma and University of Alabama all in the US and St. Matthew's University at Cayman Islands say this may open new approach on how disaster survivors are treated in future.
A report from the lead author Carol North, says 10 months after the attack they had collected mental health data from 392 survivors and segregated it by ethnic groupings.
An ethnic group, justified inclusion if it had at least five or more survivors of the disaster, with the Kikuyu, by dint of their nearness to Nairobi having the largest number, 140, of survivors in the study group.
The Luo at 63 had the second largest group then Kamba 61, Luhya 50, Kisii 15, Meru 11, Kalenjin 10 with others including foreigners comprising 42 individuals.
Justifying this ethnic approach, North says disaster research elsewhere has suggested that ethnicity may be associated with the prevalence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
These differences she says may have important effects on disaster mental health responses and how to treat such cases or where to look for problems.
Sixty four per cent of the Meru survivors were found to suffer from PSTD the highest rates by far among all the other study groups. Prevalence among the other groups however was not scientifically significant.
"Members of the Meru group had the absolute highest percentage of bombing-related depression of all the groups," says the study. The Kikuyu a closely related group to the Meru had the least disaster related depression prevalence at 28 per cent.
However the team says the data did not tell why the disaster related depression had affected ethnic groups differently.
"The study did not, however, shed further light on the reasons for differing post-disaster mental illness in these ethnic groups, especially given that they share a similar worldview, cultural practices and geography."
North recommends further studies to understand the phenomenon with a view to having more tailor made approach to treating disaster victims for depression and other resultant mental illnesses.

A new roof is a major investment hence the need to ensure that you hire a reputable roofing contractor. With hundreds of roofing contractors, choosing the right one can be quite a daunting task but knowing the right questions to ask makes the process as worry simple and free as possible. Here are 7 questions that you ask before hiring a roofing contractor for your roofing project.
The materials are usually covered under the manufacturer's warranty while the roofing contractor provides warranty to cover their work. To ensure you and the contractor are on the same page concerning the cost and scope of work, request for a written contract clearly outlining the work that will be performed as well as the expected cost.
A new roof is a major investment hence the need to ensure that you hire a reputable roofing contractor. However, with hundreds of roofing contractors, choosing the right one can be quite a daunting task but knowing the right questions to ask makes the process as worry simple and free as possible. Here are 7 questions that you ask before hiring a roofing contractor for your roofing project.
1. What is your physical address and company full name?
While the name and address of the roofing company does not indicate reliability, it suggests that the company is fully established and you can trace them in case you experience any problem covered under warranty.
Ask for the full name of the company as well as the physical address. Do not be satisfied with a post office box, ask for a street address.
2. Do you have insurance?
A roofing company should be insured with workers compensation insurance and comprehensive liability insurance to protect the homeowner in case of an accident but some contractors skimp out on this requirement.
Be sure to ask if they are insured and if so, ask for the certificate to confirm if your name is included. If you have any doubts, you can call the insurance company to confirm.
3. Do you have a roofing contractor license?
Before hiring a roofing contractor, ensure he is licensed to operate. Ask the roofer for a copy of the licenses and check with the licensing office if it is up to date and does not have any outstanding violations.
4. How long has your company been in business?
Though this is not a sign of contractor's reputation and quality workmanship, choosing a roofing company with a tract record is a safer bet. This is because a new incorporated roofing company may not provide the services and assurance an established one can.
5. Can you provide customer references?
A roofer's work history is the best picture of how he performs. Before hiring a roofing contractor, ask for names and contact information of at least three previous customers, call them up and ask about their experience with the contractor.
You should keep in mind that some contractors may provide only the positive references. For this reason, consider doing independent research by reading online reviews, asking coworkers, family and friends if they have had any experience with the company.
6. Do you provide warranty on workmanship and material?
The materials are usually covered under the manufacturer's warranty while the roofing contractor provides warranty to cover their work. Find out the length of the warranty and if it has any limits. Be sure to get a written copy of the warranty.
At least a year workmanship warranty is the minimum any roofing contractor who believe in their work should old.
7. Do you provide a written contract?
You should not rely on a verbal agreement. To ensure you and the contractor are on the same page concerning the cost and scope of work, request for a written contract clearly outlining the work that will be performed as well as the expected cost. This prevents miscommunication in surprises on the final cost.

Country: Italy
Local Name: Italia
Title: I'll Steal You Away
Author: Niccolò Ammaniti (Italian); Translated by Jonathan Hunt
Published: 1999 Pages: 405
Acclaim: Best-selling author; youngest ever winner of the prestigious Viareggio-Repaci Prize
Time Period: 1990s
Summary: In small town Italy, the lives of a bullied 12-year-old and a narcissistic 44-year-old guitar player intersect in surprising ways.
My opinion: In I'll Steal You Away, Ammaniti spins a tale reminiscent of Robert Cormier (I Am the Cheese; The Chocolate War) but with some sexual escapades and a sense of humor thrown in. Although the book has its share of deeply funny moments, be prepared for a dark ending and lots of ugly truths. Characterizations are remarkably detailed and complex.
In my book (or how Italy has affected me, and maybe you, too):
Guilty conscience
Sabotaged by Walt Disney again! Once I saw the movie, I lost all interest in reading Carlo Collodi's 1883 The Adventures of Pinocchio, especially after I heard that in his version Pinocchio kills Jiminy Cricket! Disney's Americanized Pinocchio served as my introduction to Italy, although aside from the characters having Italian names (FYI, Pinocchio is the Tuscan word for pine nut), I don't remember there being anything particularly Italian-esque about the movie.
Now that's Italian!
My love of Italian food started with canned Franco-American's SpaghettiOs and Chef Boyardee Ravioli. I ate bowls and bowls of each, topped with Kraft Parmesan cheese (the kind in the green can, of course).
When I reached puberty, I learned that the best Italian food came delivered in greasy cardboard boxes. My favorite pizza-noshing memories include Pizza Hut pepperoni pizzas ordered by dial phone on Saturday night and shared with my closest high school friends while talking about boys and watching VHS movies.
All that red sauce gluttony came to an abrupt end when I developed a food intolerance to tomatoes. Thank God for alfredo sauce – in college I lived on fettucine alfredo TV dinners, and gorged on salad and breadsticks at The Olive Garden.
Then I got a new roommate who asked, "Why are you eating that all that of junk?" and "Why are you supporting chain restaurants?" He encouraged me to create my own pasta dishes with olive oil, balsamic vinegar, fresh vegetables, kalamata olives and Parmesan cheese that I grated myself (it comes in blocks!). His influence was mighty: over ten years later, I'm still fixing similar meals.
Thinking back on all of the "Italian" food I've eaten has made me realize that my gustatory experience of Italy had been hijacked by unhealthy processed food products in much the same way that my cultural experience of Italy had been warped by Walt Disney.
But let me end on a sweet note. A friend introduced me to gelato, the Italian version of ice cream (it has less butterfat than regular ice cream), right here in Missoula, Montana at Caffe Dolce. Personally, I scream for stracciatella (sort of like chocolate chip) and bacio (chocolate hazelnut). When my husband and I visited Italy last year, we made sure to indulge twice daily at a local gelateria.
I still have the souvenir pen that my parents bought me when we visited Venice in the late 1970s. One side proclaims "venezia" in bold red letters next to a drawing of the winged lion sculpture from Piazza San Marco. On the other side is a canal scene. When I tip the pen right or left, a gondola slides across the canal.
To my huge disappointment (and despite what must have been large amounts of whining), my parents did not shell out the lira for an actual gondola ride. So rather than remembering Venice as a really cool city with water everywhere and lion statues (I loved lions when I was a kid), the Venice trip ended up being stored in my memory bank as The Place Where We Didn't Ride in a Gondola.
Cinematic experience
Based on the Patricia Highsmith novel with the same name, the 1999 movie The Talented Mr. Ripley is a veritable travel ad for Italy. Filmed in Rome, Venice and Naples and starring a knockout cast, this dark drama has defined the country for me. When my husband and I visited Rome last year, we searched out filming locations and dined at Otello's, the restaurant that Matt Damon's character describes as "on delle Croce, just off the Corso" which turned out to be accurate directions.
There's no place like Rome
Anything goes in HBO's 2005-2007 series Rome, which depicts a city and its people without any Christian taboos. My jaw dropped numerous times. If any teacher ever showed this in school they'd be fired, but their students would be a lot more fired up about ancient history. The first season depicts the rise and fall of Julius Caesar, and the second the power struggle between Mark Antony and Octavian.
My excellent Italian adventure
Mom and Dad took us on a trip to Italy last year. We traveled to Rome, Florence, Pisa, and Siena. It was my first time experiencing a foreign country as an adult.
Colossal bloodshed
My husband and I have thoroughly (and often) enjoyed watching Russell Crowe fight for vengeance and his life in the movie Gladiator. Our first stop when we arrived in Rome: the Colosseum.
Think of any other "tourist" destination where thousands have died or were buried – battlefields, concentration camps, cemeteries – and the atmosphere is subdued, respectful, teary-eyed. Why would the Roman Colosseum, where an estimated 500,000 people and a million animals met their deaths in an area roughly the size of a running track, elicit a response from visitors more akin to morbid fascination and giddy excitement?
A coworker who'd studied in Florence recommended that we climb to the top of the Duomo (the dome of the city's famous cathedral). Sounded like good advice; we'd get an outstanding view of the city from one of the world's greatest works of architecture. Before buying our tickets we were warned that people with a fear of heights should reconsider. No problem. We bought the tickets. We started up. There were two staircases, one for people going up and one for people going down. The stairs were normal stair-width at first. Then they spiraled and narrowed. The higher we climbed, the tighter the space and the more people there were.
Then the up and the down staircases merged into one very narrow staircase. So narrow that the tourists going up had to alternate turns with the tourists heading down. Our up line was stopped and there was a seemingly endless stream of people pushing by us on their way down. There were now large numbers of people ahead of us and behind us.
Being trapped in small spaces makes me nervous. Relying on the politeness of other tourists makes me nervous. I cursed the Italian sign-makers who made a huge deal out of acrophobia and no mention whatsoever of claustrophobia, even though the claustrophobic portion of this experience comes long before you have made it to the top of the Duomo and any possible height issues.
After what seemed like years but was probably less than ten minutes, the line moved and we emerged from the world's scariest staircase high above Firenze. While trying to appreciate the view over the panicked percussion of my heart, I overheard an English-speaking tourist exclaim, "Wow! That was easy. The last time I did this it took two hours to climb up and it was about 90 degrees in there."
That's what they should print on the warning sign.
A little Pisa America
Finally, an Italian tourist destination that had plenty of working and clean bathrooms! After having to cut short our visits to both the Colosseum and the Forum due to out-of-order toilets and long, barely-moving bathroom lines, the Leaning Tower of Pisa's facilities were almost United States-worthy (almost, because it cost .30 euros to use them). God bless America and its numerous public and free restrooms.
A banner horse race
I'm a big fan of horse racing, so I was eager to visit Siena, the home of Il Palio, one of the world's most famous horse races. Held twice a year in the center of town (called the Piazza del Campo), the Palio is a no-holds-barred affair: jockeys ride bareback and are permitted to use whips on opposing riders, falls are common on the sharp turns and riderless horses are eligible to win.
Only ten horses compete in each race, and each horse represents one of Siena's 17 neighborhoods, or contrade. The Selva (Forest) contrade won the first of this year's races on July 2 .

Competitors in Kimberley will be making their bed and running with it this weekend.
The 2nd annual Bed Races are set for the streets of the Bavarian City Saturday morning.
Organizer Jim Webster says, yes, it is as ridiculous as it sounds.He explains four people are pushing, one on each corner, and you must have someone lying in the bed.
The teams of five will compete against each other two at a team on an approximate 100 m track on Deer Park Ave.
Webster says he was visiting Sydney on Vancouver Island last year when he saw a Bed Race event for a local charity.
He thought, that was a good idea that could work well in Kimberley.
Last year, the event raised funds for the local hospice society.
This year, it will act as a local fundraiser with money going toward a new accessibility lift at Centre 64.
Webster adds the inaugural event had a large and loud crowd and he hopes they come out again this year.
The beds will begin to roll 10 AM and there will also be a pancake breakfast supplied by the Rotary Club at 9 AM.
Organizers would to field eight teams and there are still spots open.
The beds are provided and you can also register as an individual and be put on a team.

Logistics is the management of the flow of resources between the point of origin and the point of consumption in order to
meet some requirements, for example, of customers or corporations. The resources managed in logistics can include
physical items, such as food, materials, equipment, liquids, and staff, as well as abstract items, such as time, information,
particles, and energy. The logistics of physical items usually involves the integration of information flow, material handling,
production, packaging, inventory, transportation, warehousing, and often security. The complexity of logistics can be
modeled, analyzed, visualized, and optimized by dedicated simulation software. The minimization of the use of resources is
a common motivation in logistics for import and export.
Origins and definition
The prevalent view is that term logistics comes from the late 19th century: from French logistique (loger means to lodge).
Others attribute a Greek origin to the word: meaning reason or speech; meaning accountant or responsible for counting.

(Reuters) -- Trump said on Friday he would waive nuclear sanctions against Iran for the last time to give Washington and its European allies a chance to fix the "terrible flaws" of the 2015 nuclear deal.
Washington also announced sanctions against 14 entities and people, including the head of Iran's judiciary, Ayatollah Sadeq Larijani.
"The Trump regime's hostile action (against Larijani)... crossed all red lines of conduct in the international community and is a violation of international law and will surely be answered by a serious reaction of the Islamic Republic," Iran's Foreign Ministry said in a statement carried by state media.
On Friday, Iran's Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif said on Twitter on that Trump's decision undermined the multilateral agreement.

Rev. Lois and I are developing a racial justice path called The Path of Resisting Anti-Blackness. The term Anti-Blackness in its usage by today's activists is distinguished from white privilege in being defined as the systematic racist oppression of Black persons in America. The term is similar to the term "anti-Semitism."
This path is being created as a result of the resolution in support of the movements for Black lives. Our first step in supporting Black people in this country is education; it is imperative that we learn before jumping into action. The Path of Resisting Anti-Blackness is one of the many opportunities that will be offered to help educate ourselves. It is the job of religious education at WUUC to provide the congregation with the education they will need to act faithfully in the world.
The Path of Resisting Anti-Blackness will include directed readings and discussions, facilitated workshops with Black scholars and UU's, and end with the Beloved Conversations curriculum from Meadville Lombard Theological School. We hope to begin the path late-Spring or this Summer with directed readings and discussions. We hope to have a core group of WUUC persons complete the entire path but all offerings will be open to newcomers. You can find the most up to date information on our website, here.

Palm is now officially dead as HP reorganizes its Palm business units into a WebOS Global Business Unit. HP's Stephen DeWitt will replace former WebOS CEO Jon Rubinstein. The latter will move to become Senior Vice President in the Personal Systems Group. Whatever.
A sad moment, although WebOS didn't live up to my expectations and I basically haven't been using a 'real Palm' device after replacing my Handspring Treo 650 by – in the end – an iPhone. However, for me Palm was the first company that got the PDA thingy right. It greatly helped to improve my productivity and without Palm, I wouldn't be where I am today.
It's not that the (now) bulky Pilot was the first organizer I tried. Hell no. I went from several 'smart calculators' to Atari Portfolio (remember that one?) to Apple Newton and lots of stuff in between. Every device/OS had some good points, but none where as usable as that first Pilot. The OS was good, the hardware okay, but what made the difference was the mass of applications that were created for it. Built in calendar not good enough? There was an App or extension for that. You wanted offline browsing? No problem, there was an App for that. PalmOS partnered nicely with your desktop to become a real extension … a replacement even. When hooking up to Yahoo mail, it was possible to sync lots of stuff to 'the cloud' that you could access through any browser. I'm talking 2000 folks. Remarkable if you think about it: Palm and Yahoo had it all. They let it catch dust, until Apple picked it up and improved the concept to what it is today. For me the Palm experience peaked in the V series: a metal organizer (Apple even borrowed that), with a great leather pouch that doubled as a wallet. That little machine really changed the way I worked and ruled my life for the better part of 4 years.
But now Palm is officially dead. Inevitable as the vibe left the company years ago. Hope for glory resurfaced after the first demo of WebOS in january 2009, but was trashed with those first dreamy commercials. Palm could have stand a chance if they had focussed on productivity and real life. Kingdoms they so mighty ruled before. They choose dreams instead. Noble, but fruitless.
Sweet dreams my friend. I'll always cherish our moments.

One of the ways to look at health tourism as a whole is to subcategorize it in 2: wellness tourism and medical tourism. Broadly speaking, when looking at medical tourism we are analyzing something that is serious and that will involve traditional treatments in the offices of doctors and hospitals for health issues that already exist. Wellness tourism is more about preventing conditions and promoting overall good health. It is meant to be completely rejuvenating, including various alternative…Continue

Medical tourism does not have a very good reputation and it is easy to understand why since the media is so often presenting the horror stories instead of focusing on both sides of the story. It should be no surprise to see that people either fear this practice or just look at it as a great way to get some medical work done at lower prices. Since it is the truth that we should be more interested in, here are some of the common myths you should know about medical tourism, with a focus on…Continue

This is quite a tricky subject to discuss. In most cases we see people thinking about medical tourism when referring to dental procedures or cosmetic surgeries. The common misconception is you cannot get all treatments in other countries at lower prices. This is incorrect. Even with physical therapy we can easily get huge advantages when seeking treatment somewhere else.
We need to understand that everything varies from one case to the next. There are situations in which it is…Continue

One of the first things you will notice when you analyze the prices associated with dental procedures in different countries is that the prices will vary a lot. For instance, if you get a dental crown done in Costa Rica, you would pay around 25% of the price you would have to deal with in USA. That is something that would easily make you want to get the procedure done in Costa Rica.
According to this well-known dentist in Chandler,…Continue

Also, the company just launched its most luxury hotel "The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho" in July and to open new hotels next year.
Mr. VICTOR OSUMI, Corporate Officer, Prince Hotels, Inc. disclosed that "Scheduled opening in July 27, the Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho, a most Luxury Collection Hotel under Price Hotels group, is located in the heart of Tokyo's Kioicho neighborhood, a town embraced in luscious greenery and a rich history. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho is part of Tokyo Garden Terrace, a mixed-use development which will encompass retail, offices and residences. The hotel will be located on the 30th to 36th floors of the tower also featuring offices and commercial facilities and will include a lobby on the top floor with the panoramic city views. It is a hotel that marries lush nature and artistic designs with cutting-edge functions in a sophisticated manner, accompanied by the top floor views as magnificent as paintings. The Prince Gallery Tokyo Kioicho will offer 250 guestrooms as well as Japanese and Italian restaurants, bar and lounge together with spa and fitness. Additionally, the hotel offers the new service by providing tablet to collect and analyze all guests' information to prepare for better service in the next stay.
"Not only open the new hotel, but Prince Hotels also reopened "The Akasaka Prince Classic House", on the same date (27 July 2016) by restoring from Grand Akasaka Prince Hotel which opened in 1955 to its original condition, complete with a banquet hall, restaurant, and bar. It is restored the main portions of the building, such as lighting fixtures, outer walls, etc., to their original conditions at the time of construction based on materials from the time of construction and other sources, in order to restore the elegance and dignity of former days, and to continue to meet modern needs, an expansion banquet hall with the latest features is also being added.
"Also, in autumn of 2017, we will open the first Prince Hotel in Nagoya within the newly built Global Gate, in the Sasashima Live 24, a large-scale redevelopment area on the south side of Nagoya Station. With the Sasashima Live 24, Nagoya City is aiming to create an international greeting and exchange area by building an exciting urban area. The central facility in the redevelopment is Global Gate, a combined facility comprising offices, a hotel, conference centers, retail facilities, and more. The site is 10 minutes' walk from Nagoya Station and 1 minutes' walk from nearby Sasashima Live Station. Prince Hotels will open a hotel and restaurant on the 31st to 36th floors of West Tower in the Global Gate complex, with conference centers to be built on the 2nd to 4th floors.
"Additionally, we are now on the process of Renovation of Hakodate-Onuma Prince Golf Course & New Club House for Hokkaido Country Club Onuma Course. The opening of Shinkansen service to Hokkaido in March 2016 improved accessibility from the Tohoku and Kanto areas. Anticipating an increase in sightseeing demand, including golf-related travel, we are renovating the Hakodate-Onuma Prince Golf Course adjacent to the Hakodate-Onuma Prince Hotel with completion planned for June 2017. The renovated course will share a club house with the Hokkaido Country Club Onuma Course, which will open in April 2017.

History: The EMD FT was a 1,350-horsepower (1,010 kW) diesel-electric locomotive produced between March 1939 and November 1945, by General Motors' Electro-Motive Division. The "F" stood for 1400 horsepower (rounded from 1350) and the "T" for twin, as it came standard in a two-unit set. The design was developed from the TA model built for the C,RI&P in 1937, and was similar in cylinder count, axle count, length and layout. All told 555 cab-equipped A units were built, along with 541 cabless booster B units, for a grand total of 1,096 units. The locomotives were all sold to customers in the United States. It was the first model in EMD's very successful F-unit series of cab unit freight diesels, and was the locomotive that convinced many U.S. railroads that the diesel-electric freight locomotive was the future. Many rail historians consider the FT one of the most important locomotive models of all time.
The first units produced for a customer were built in December 1940 and January 1941 for the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway and numbered the 100 set. These were the first diesel-electric locomotives ever produced with dynamic braking, a system developed at the insistence of the railroad and with its assistance. Initially the four-unit, coupler-equipped set featured two booster units between two cab units in the manner of the demonstrator set. The Brotherhoods of Locomotive Engineers and Firemen, however, insisted that the two cabs required two crews, so the railway had EMD produce extra boosters, and renumbered its earliest sets into four unit sets with one cab unit and three boosters. Negotiation with the unions soon rectified the situation, but as the road's earliest units were geared for higher speeds than subsequent units, these sets continued to be composed of one FTA cab unit and three FTB boosters. This is why the road had ten more FTB booster units than FTA cab units.
From Wikipedia
Electro-Motive Diesel traces its roots to the Electro-Motive Engineering Corporation, a designer and marketer of gasoline-electric self-propelled rail cars founded in 1922 and later renamed Electro-Motive Company (EMC). In 1930, General Motors purchased Electro-Motive Company and the Winton Engine Co., combining the two to form its Electro-Motive Division (EMD) in 1941.
In 2005, GM sold EMD to Greenbriar Equity Group and Berkshire Partners, which formed Electro-Motive Diesel to facilitate the purchase. In 2010, Progress Rail Services completed the purchase of Electro-Motive Diesel from Greenbriar, Berkshire, and others.
EMD's headquarters, engineering facilities and parts manufacturing operations are based in McCook, Illinois, while its final locomotive assembly line is located in Muncie, Indiana. EMD also operates a traction motor maintenance, rebuild and overhaul facility in San Luis Potosí, Mexico.
As of 2008, EMD employed approximately 3,260 people, and in 2010 it held approximately 30 percent of the market for diesel-electric locomotives in North America.
