Wow, he sure loves SUV's. He also intends to push for more of them in the VW Group, "I pushed for the Bentley SUV and I'm pushing for Audi to make something in this segment also. I could see Bentley and Audi both making SUVs, and Lamborghini also; in my job. I'm trying to encourage the Lamborghini SUV project to progress."
So Durheimer is pushing for the Lamborghini SUV and also for the Bentley SUV. He also seems to want to use the Bentley platform for an SUV above the Q7 as in a luxurious Q8. A Q2 is also in the cards. Basically, SUV's for the VW Group from head to toe. A Q2 sounds great but is there a market for a Q8 when that is pushing into the Bentley market? Guess we will all find out soon enough.

Cardinals showing there is life after Albert
By Anthony Castrovince / MLB.com
Obviously, though, it won't always be this way. There will almost assuredly be a night when the Cards will be shut down by some soft-tossing lefty and Pujols, a world away on the West Coast, will hit a titanic blast that harkens back to his St. Louis heyday.
Hey, it's bound to happen over the course of 162 games. And over the course of 162 times 10, it will probably happen quite a few times.
But if the Cardinals wanted to make some sort of statement in this nascent stage of the 2012 season -- in this immediate aftermath of their improbable World Series run -- that life without Pujols does, indeed, go on, well, I'm already willing to say they've made it here in the opening week.
The statement looks a little something like this: solo shot by Matt Holliday; a Lance Berkman walk drawn on an oh-so-close payoff pitch; a David Freese two-run blast; and then, finally, Yadier Molina pummeling a first-pitch four-seamer from Homer Bailey.
Three first-inning homers, four first-inning runs at Great American Ball Park -- all with two out -- and enough damage done to pave the way to a remarkably easy 7-1 victory over a Reds team counted by some as the National League Central favorite.
And while the sample size is, indeed, tiny -- and Great American is a haven for homers -- this was no outlier. This opening outburst was already the second three-homer inning for a Cards team that had none all of last year. As a team, the Cards' nine homers are the most of anybody in the early going. But, more to the point, they're batting .317 as a team -- with 20 extra-base hits and 20 walks.
"I really hope they're peaking now," Brewers starter Randy Wolf said over the weekend, "because they look really good."
Hate to break this to Wolf, but this probably ain't the peak.
This, after all, is a deep, balanced and veteran lineup that -- thanks to the newly acquired Carlos Beltran and a full season from Freese -- could actually wind up more productive than the one that prominently featured Pujols a year ago.
"Hopefully, this week is showing the good things to come," Freese said. "We see it as a small sample. We're not jumping the gun. But you look at the middle of the lineup -- Beltran, Matt and Lance -- and everybody that complements them, and that's a scary lineup."
Freese represents, possibly, the Cards' greatest upside of all, and he's on an opening tear (.417 average, 1.083 OPS) that makes his October glory look like no flash in the pan. He's finally healthy after many setbacks with his fragile feet, and he's shown a better approach at the plate than he displayed in a sluggish spring.
"I think he's just trusting himself a little more," manager Mike Matheny said. "He's not as jumpy. He left the zone a lot in the spring, trying to do too much. Now, he's seeing the ball well. That's what it comes down to. When guys are going good, they're seeing the ball well and trusting their hands. Not a lot of ugly swings."
And there's nothing ugly about that team home-run total, either, though the Cards know they're on an unsustainable pace in that department.
"The good thing is, these guys are just going up putting up good swings," Matheny said. "They're not trying to hit home runs. That's something Mark [McGwire] has preached as long as he's had this job [as hitting coach]. He truly believed that. Most people won't buy it when they watched him in '98, but it's a thought philosophy of a swing path more so than trying to launch the ball in the air. Because when you do that, popups happen. I think we're doing a good job of just putting up good at-bats altogether. Those tough at-bats are going to pay off in the long run."
McGwire's goal is to have a club that wears out the opposing pitcher, pitch by pitch. Beltran is the perfect addition to that attack, given that he's averaged a highly respectable 3.86 pitches per plate appearance over the last decade.
It's a mentality that's being passed around from the vets to the younger faces in the Cardinals' clubhouse.
"Concentration, confidence and focus," Freese said. "When you're around these veterans long enough, you realize that's what separates you."
If the Cardinals keep playing like this -- averaging 6.2 runs per game with their starters posting a sub-2.00 ERA -- they'll separate themselves in the Central in a hurry. Again, though, that pace can't be sustained over the long haul.
What is sustainable, however, is the quality of at-bats, the relentlessness of the attack of a veteran-laden lineup.
There was a great deal of curiosity as to what this Cardinals club would look like without one veteran, in particular. And the early results -- while not enough to make you say "Albert who?" -- are enough to make you think the Cards will be just fine, thank you.

Womack, Whitaker disagree on issues across the board
By Whitney Snipes
CONWAY - Democratic congressional hopeful David Whitaker is criticizing opponent Steve Womack for touting what Whitaker calls a "Washington play book" rather than focusing on the needs of Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District.
The two faced off Thursday in a debate hosted by the Arkansas Educational Television Network at the University of Central Arkansas. During the debate, Whitaker said he would work to meet the needs of the 12 counties - including Pope and Johnson - encompassing the district, while Womack focused on his experience as mayor of Rogers as an indicator of his ability to lead.
One of the issues at the heart of the debate was the candidates' disagreement about Social Security's future.
"People I talk to ... do not have a lot of confidence Social Security is doing to be around for them when they reach retirement," Womack said.
Womack, who accused Whitaker of saying there was nothing wrong with the program as it currently stands, said he is open to any model "that can enhance value and give us longevity."
Privatization of Social Security may be a viable option because "every major industry in has outperformed inflation over time," Womack said, adding he will not advocate for any position that would take away from senior citizens drawing Social Security today or from those who are nearing retirement.
Whitaker denied claiming there was "nothing" wrong with Social Security, but said he thinks the problems are minor enough they can be worked out before the program loses solvency.
"Privatization is a horrible idea. I'm against it. I'll never vote for it," Whitaker said.
He said he believes the way to restore solvency to Social Security is to remove caps that allow those making slightly more than $100,000 annually to avoid draws from income earned above that cap.
Womack said he does not believe eliminating the cap will generate enough money to make Social Security solvent, though Whitaker argued it would create deep reservoirs for the program, possibly even enough to generate excess funds.
After the focus turned to financial matters, Womack claimed he was the candidate with the experience to help revitalize the economy. His plan is to develop strategies for economic development and take spending back to pre-stimulus levels, he said.
Whitaker said he will work to extend tax cuts for the middle class for three years and will spend those years working on comprehensive tax reform. He also claimed he would support tax and trade policies that would encourage businesses to start and remain in the United States and in Arkansas.
When asked what single aspect of the health care act he would change, given the chance, Whitaker said he would eliminate the individual mandate. He said he believed it was unfair to penalize individuals for not buying something they might not be able to afford.
Womack said he would vote to repeal the health care act as it currently stands, replacing it with something "better for America" that would allow for job creation.

The Transport Protocol of the Alpine Convention
The Alpine Convention is a framework agreement for the protection and sustainable development of the Alpine region designed to preserve and protect the Alps (from an environmental, economic and social viewpoint) by applying the principles of prevention, 'polluter pays' and cooperation between its members. The text brings together nine protocols, each covering a different sector. This decision concerns the application by the European Union of the Alpine Convention's Transport Protocol.
Council Decision 2007/799/EC of 12 October 2006 on the signature, on behalf of the Community, of the Protocol on the Implementation of the Alpine Convention in the field of transport (Transport Protocol).
By Council Decision 96/191/EC, the European Union (EU) concluded the Convention on the Protection of the Alps. This aims to preserve the natural ecosystem and promote sustainable development of the Alps, while also protecting the economic and cultural interests of local populations. The Alpine Convention has a permanent committee made up of representatives of the contracting parties.
The signing by the EU of this protocol is also intended as a political message to all concerned, inviting the contracting parties to sign and ratify it.
The protocol has the following objectives:
- to reduce the actual and potential harmful effects of intra-alpine transport;
- to contribute to the development of habitats and economic areas through a harmonised transport policy which is shared by the countries concerned and integrates different modes of transport (road, rail, etc.);
- to mitigate the threat to the biodiversity of the Alpine region and its natural and cultural heritage;
- to ensure through more efficient and sustainable transport systems that the movement of traffic is economically viable.
The contracting parties to the Convention thus undertake to take into account, in their management of the Alpine region, the risks and harmful effects associated with traffic, such as pollution (noise or chemical), and the security of people and property. In parallel, the signatories must:
- increase the profitability of the transport sector;
- optimise use of existing infrastructures;
- take transport issues into account when evaluating and implementing other policies;
- involve regional and local authorities in decision-making.
Specific measures and strategies
Furthermore, the Alpine Convention sets out a number of specific measures and strategies, all designed to promote sound, safe transport management based on the following principles:
- sound coordination between different modes and means of transport;
- promotion of intermodality;
- transfer of traffic to more environmentally-friendly modes of transport;
- protection of communication routes from natural hazards;
- protection of people and the environment;
- gradual reduction of hazardous substance emissions and noise;
- introduction and development of user-friendly, environmental public transport;
- use of impact studies for planned projects and consultation of those affected.
The convention also defines specific principles for the different modes of transport:
- bolstering rail transport through the improvement and better use of infrastructure, and promoting intermodality for goods transport;
- taking greater advantage of the scope for river and sea transport;
- as to road transport, the signatories must avoid building new large-capacity routes. However, projects may be carried out if the environmental impact is minimised;
- the harmful effects of air transport must be brought down to a minimum. Non-motorised aerial leisure activities must also be limited.
Polluter pays principle
The protocol also encourages the contracting parties to apply the polluter pays principle and establish a method that factors environmental costs into calculations of overall outlay on infrastructure.
The signatories must regularly report to the permanent committee on the measures taken under the protocol. The committee draws up a report declaring that the protocol has been complied with.
On 14 May 1991, the Council authorised the Commission to take part in the negotiations to establish the Alpine Convention and its protocols.
The Transport Protocol was opened for signature by the contracting parties at the ministerial meeting of the Convention in Lucerne on 30 and 31 October 2000.
The Council signed the Transport Protocol of the Alpine Convention on 12 December 2006. This decision was accompanied by a joint Council and Commission declaration on the interpretation of the Protocol.
The other contracting parties of the Convention - apart from the European Union - are Germany, France, Italy, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Austria, Switzerland and Slovenia.

Formidable Frostbite
- Sep 29, 2017
- Basic
- Topics:
Horses' extremities, such as their ears, could be at risk of frostbite in some weather conditions.

Healthy horses handle frigid temperatures better than we do, but their extremities still are vulnerable to frostbite.
The good news about frostbite in horses is that you'll rarely see it. But occasionally you'll notice the telltale signs that a horse has spent too much time in the frigid cold, maybe as a foal: his ear tips might be gone, or maybe even part of his tail. But horses, as a rule, handle cold temperatures better than humans do; the horse's body actually is better at conserving heat in cold weather than dissipating heat in hot weather. As days get shorter in the fall, the horse starts shedding summer hair and grows a longer, denser coat. As nighttime temperatures dip lower, he stores more fat under the skin—providing insulation against the cold and minimizing heat loss from the body. This means surface vessels that radiate heat in summer are deeper under the skin in winter.
Humans tend to freeze toes, fingers, and noses in severely cold weather, but horses rarely suffer frostbite. The horse's muzzle is richly supplied with blood and can withstand extreme cold without freezing. His feet and legs are designed in such a way that he can stand in deep snow without discomfort or damage. His slender legs are mainly bone and tendons below the knees and hocks, requiring less blood circulation than muscles. Thus, they are less susceptible to frostbite. Tissue cells in bones and tendons need less blood for maintenance than do muscles, and they also lose less heat.
The thick, dense hoof capsule (horny wall and sole) helps protect inner tissues of the foot. The horse is able to shunt most of the blood away from his feet and, yet, they are still very functional. When feet start to get cold, blood can flow from the smallest arteries directly into the veins, without having to pass through the smaller capillaries. The horse has developed this protective mechanism to keep his feet from freezing.
A horse's mane and tail also give protection. He instinctively turns his back to the wind, protecting his thin-skinned face and neck (which have more surface blood vessels). His rump and back have thicker skin and hair, fewer surface blood vessels, and can withstand the wind better than his front end. His tail protects delicate underparts, and his mane and forelock give insulating (and waterproof) protection for his head and neck. Horses in groups stand together to block the wind and also benefit from each other's body warmth.
Cid Hayden, DVM, of Salmon, Idaho, where winter temperature can drop to -30°F or colder, says horses usually do fine outdoors, even in severe weather. "They move around more than cattle and stay on their feet longer (not lying around chewing their cud), so they are less vulnerable to being chilled by lying on frozen ground."
"If you find a near-frozen animal, such as a newborn foal, warming it up gently is usually recommended, not overdoing it with too much heat at once," says Katharina Lohmann, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. "Bring it in, warm it up, and make sure it's dried off."
"Getting energy into the animal with proper nutrition (such as colostrum for a newborn) is also very important," she continues. "Severely hypothermic animals may require more intensive therapy, such as warmed IV (intravenous) fluids or warm oral fluids if they can tolerate the latter. It can sometimes be difficult to separate hypothermia from frostbite (you often see both problems together)." Take the animal's rectal temperature. If it's subnormal (less than 99.5°F), you need to be treating for hypothermia as well as potential frostbite.
"Rapid thaw at moderate temperatures (100-105°F, warm to the touch, but not hot) is often recommended," she says. "We use hot water bottles and heat lamps and closely monitor rectal temperature so the animal doesn't overheat. Overheating is potentially harmful for damaged skin." Hair dryers aren't recommended because it's difficult to know how much heat you are applying.
In a cold animal blood is concentrated in the body core (not the extremities), to try to keep internal organs warm enough to keep functioning.
Warming an animal too much, such as putting a very cold foal into hot water (hotter than 120°F, such as in a hot tub), can cause heat injury to the tissues, and it might be life- threatening in cases of severe hypothermia.
According to Ron Skinner, DVM, of Hall, Montana, doing this can also drive the cold from body surfaces into the core. If the heart is chilled too much (cold shock), it will stop, and the animal will suddenly die. Ranchers trying to thaw frozen calves in bathtubs have noted this. Instead, start with lukewarm water, gradually warming it to body temperature (101°F). Remember that humans whose temperatures are drastically lowered for surgery are brought back to normal very slowly.
A safe way to warm a severely cold foal is to administer warm IV fluids, apply warm water to the body surface, and warm the air the foal is breathing. It's important to warm the innermost part of the body as swiftly as you warm the outside, says Skinner.
Heather Smith Thomas
Occasionally, however, extreme cold or abnormal situations can lead to frostbite. In adult horses, usually the only sign of frostbite is loss of ear tips (which fall off about a week later). Foals born outside in cold weather are more adversely affected, since they are wet at birth and have very little body fat for insulation. If not found quickly and warmed up, foals will suffer from hypothermia as well as frostbite.
Hayden sees many more frozen ears, tails, and feet in calves than in foals, mainly because horses are seasonal breeders and most foals aren't born until spring or summer. "To have foals born in winter, you have to go to extreme lengths to manage the mares (with artificial lighting to stimulate estrous cycles) to breed them that early. Anyone who goes to that effort generally makes sure the foal is born indoors, with 24-hour watch on the mare," he says.
Frostbite Risks
Katharina Lohmann, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ACVIM, of the Western College of Veterinary Medicine, in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, says even though winters can be quite cold in Saskatchewan, she hasn't seen very many cases of frostbite in horses. "In foals, you may see partial loss of ears and tails, and sometimes sloughing of the feet. Some animals in our area have lost the tips of their ears from frostbite," she says.
"The highest risk is in newborns," she notes. "If people breed mares early and a foal is born outside, it may suffer frostbite. Ranchers who calve early sometimes use little hats for newborn calves to protect their ears, but horse owners don't seem to use those for foals. She suspects that adult horses missing ear tips suffered frostbite as babies.
A newborn that doesn't get up and nurse right away is especially at risk for cold stress. That first crucial meal, colostrum, contains a high level of energy (twice the fat of regular milk); once he has nursed, this helps his body stay warm.
As mentioned previously, the adult horse's feet are remarkably able to tolerate cold. "Dr. Chris Pollitt did some work in his laminitis studies, using ice water on horses' feet for prevention of laminitis," says Lohmann. "This research involved implanting temperature sensors into the hoof walls and standing the horses in ice water. Although this cryotherapy (cold treatment) reduced hoof wall temperature considerably, there were no ill effects observed clinically. The horses tolerated the procedure very well, even if icing was continuous up to 48 hours. I'm not sure we can extrapolate these findings directly to horses living outside at 40 below zero, but it appears that their feet are quite tolerant to cold."
Hayden remembers a group of horses that suffered a little frostbite in their feet when it was -30°F for two weeks and they were standing in six inches of snow with no shelter. We found "a sheltered area (in some trees), scraping the snow away and piling straw on the ground," he says. "The horses were able to stand under the trees and have some protection for their feet."
A horse is healthiest on his feet, moving around. "Animals that are recumbent (unable to rise) for prolonged periods may be more at risk than a healthy horse," says Lohmann. "A sick, weak individual that spends a lot of time lying down may suffer frostbite more readily than a horse that's up moving around. We see this sometimes in cattle with severe arthritis, for instance. If they've become recumbent, they can become severely hypothermic (from lying on frozen ground) and can freeze to death."
An animal in poor body condition has less insulation against the cold (no fat stores) and can have impaired circulation. Lohmann emphasizes the importance of shelter and adequate nutrition for winter. Sick or dehydrated animals with compromised circulation are more at risk for frostbite because there's poor blood supply to the extremities. Any animal with severe diarrhea, for instance, is more vulnerable to having his ears, tail, and feet freeze.
Young foals and thin older horses are generally at risk because they have little fat reserve. Other factors that increase risk for frostbite include temperature (with wind chill taken into consideration), length of time the animal is exposed to the cold, and moisture. If skin is wet and suddenly chilled (as with a newborn foal outdoors, a horse that falls through ice, or an animal wet from sweat or a storm, then exposed to dropping temperatures before he has a chance to dry), there's more risk.
Diagnosis and Treatment
In cases of frostbite, ice crystals form inside tissue cell membranes and the cells rupture and die. If it's just the superficial skin layers, those outer layers might become discolored then slough away (like a superficial burn), and the skin eventually heals because deeper layers are still alive. After healing, the skin might have loss of pigment. Damage to deeper layers and the small blood vessels in those layers leads to more extensive tissue death.
Hayden says signs of frostbite include tissue with no sensation (the animal can't feel a pin prick) and loss of skin flexibility. "Then it turns black," he says. "On a horse, you won't be able to see the blackness unless it's on an area of pink skin. The skin becomes hard and stiff, like leather, and eventually sloughs away." It can only heal by scarring if there's no viable skin left.
There's not much that can be done once tissue cells die. If you and your vet suspect frostbite and it's not too severe, you might treat the horse by warming the tissues. "We sometimes see animals people bring in because the legs and ears are swollen," says Lohmann. "We suspect they had frostbite that didn't quite kill the tissues." As blood returns to the tissues it creates edema (fluid swelling), redness, and inflammation.
There can be subcutaneous (beneath the skin) hemorrhage from damaged tissues. "According to a retrospective study of frostbite injuries in calves (1982-1991, published in 1993 in the Canadian Veterinary Journal, with references to other studies), edema after frostbite injury results from changes in vascular (blood vessel) permeability and impairment of fluid movement from the tissues," she says. "There's direct injury to blood vessels during freezing."
To diagnose a horse the veterinarian checks affected areas for sensation, assessing whether tissues are still alive, and for blood supply. "Often we check for sensation at the coronary band, sometimes sticking it with needles to see if it bleeds and whether the horse feels it," she says. "If they don't, that's usually indication that the tissue is dead. The only other thing I've seen that looks similar to frostbite was an animal with septic (toxic) vasculitis; it sloughed its hooves."
Vets have reported bone scans and vascular contrast studies as useful for assessing the degree of tissue damage. In the previously mentioned study the scientists said animals with painful limbs (lameness or pain response to palpation) probably have a better chance of tissue function returning than those with nonpainful limbs (no sensation), relates Lohmann.
"The big question is how damaged are they?" she notes. "The differential diagnosis would be gangrene from something like ergotism." There are a number of plant toxins (such as those in smuts, which are parasitic fungal diseases affecting grasses, and ergot, the endophyte fungus that infects certain fescue grasses) that cause constriction of blood vessels near the body surface. This can interfere with circulation and increase a horse's chance for losing ears, tails, or feet. Anything that impairs circulation could put horses at greater risk for frostbite, even at temperatures that would ordinarily be no cause for concern.
As described earlier, tissue that's dead due to frostbite must slough away or be surgically removed. "If there's still some sensation or blood supply, the best treatment is just making sure the animal warms up, keeping it inside out of the cold until swelling has resolved (to keep impaired tissues from refreezing), and treating whatever else may be going on," says Lohmann. "Pain medication such as Bute or Banamine may be indicated, as well as antibiotics (topical or systemic) to prevent or treat infection in compromised tissues." Hayden starts patients he suspects have frostbite on such drugs immediately because of this infection risk. Vets also recommend tetanus vaccination, similar to what they'd advise for animals with other types of wounds.
Some horses might require sedation if thawing of the tissues proves painful. A horse experiencing pain from frostbite might shake his head (if his ears were frozen), paw, or bite at an affected area.
It's not advisable to rub frostbitten areas vigorously (in an attempt to restore circulation), as this can further damage compromised skin tissues. Apply warm wet towels or stand the animal in buckets of warm water if you are concerned about his feet.
Take-Home Message
While frostbite isn't common in horses, if you live in an area where your horses could be exposed to frigid temperatures for long stretches of time—especially if there's rain, ice, or snow—keep an eye out for the signs of frostbite. Provide shelter during severe weather. If you find your horse with any of the signs of frostbite, bring him in out of the cold and call your veterinarian.

David Stern will retire as NBA commissioner on Feb. 1, 2014 after 30 years on the job, the league announced announced on Thursday.
Stern's replacement: deputy commissioner Adam Silver, who was unanimously approved to take the position, according to multiple reports.
"I'd like to think I did an adequate job," Stern said at his state-of-the-league press conference shortly after the news was announced. He added that he "could not be happier" knowing that Silver would take his place.
"Adam's title will be the commissioner elect, but they're still going to have me to kick around for the next 15 months," Stern said.
That Silver is replacing Stern — or even that Stern is stepping down in a year-and-a-half — comes as no surprise to industry observers. It's been clear for years that Stern has been grooming Silver to be the next commissioner, and he said at last February's All-Star break that that was, in fact, his succession plan.
"I guess what I would say is, one of the things that a good CEO does—and I try to be a good CEO—is provide his board with a spectacular choice for his successor," Stern said at the time. "I have done that, and that's Adam. If I had the decision, if I were doing it myself, he would be the commissioner. But as I have said before, the board will make that decision."
A league source told the New York Daily News in March that Stern would resign after two more seasons.
Stern, 70, took over as commissioner on Feb. 1, 1984, as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird were peaking, and Michael Jordan was set to enter the league. He presided over the NBA's growth from a financially strapped sport to a global commercial powerhouse—and also saw two seasons threatened by labor disputes and several ugly team relocations.
The plan is to have a contract in place for Silver by next April, former board of governors chairman Glen Taylor told CBS Sports. The board will continue to consult with Stern on important projects, Taylor added.
The move, first reported by ESPN's Marc Stein, will leave Gary Bettman as the longest-tenured commissioner in major North American sports.

Saudi Royals Will 'Cut Off Any Finger' Raised Against Them
Bracing for a planned "Day of Rage" tomorrow, Saudi Arabia's scumbag foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal said that the ruling family will "cut off any finger" that is raised against it. At a press conference yesterday, he told reporters:
"Reform cannot be achieved through protests ... The best way to achieve demands is through national dialogue."
Al-Faisal failed to mention that there's no such thing as "national dialogue" in Saudi Arabia, unless of course you're a member of his family. He seems to have been addressing the ungrateful citizens that King Abdullah tried to bribe with billions of dollars last month as he feared he could suffer the same fate as other deposed strongmen in the region.
A Facebook page calling for nationwide protests tomorrow has attracted thousands of fans, but we won't know until tomorrow what sort of turn out they can muster. We can be sure that there will be a heavy security presence on the streets. Hugh Miles, writing in the London Review of Books, quotes one of the group's organizers, who seems optimistic that members of the security forces are on the side of the protesters:
"I have been told by many members of the security forces that they sympathise with us 100 per cent and see us as saviours of them as well as of the nation."
The Saudi regime has for years been fighting a secret, dirty war against the Shi'ite minority in the country's south along the border with Yemen, often in unison with Yemeni president Ali Abdullah Saleh who is also fighting Shi'ite rebels in his country's north all in the name of crushing "terrorists." Many of the disaffected protesters in both countries are Shia. Both countries' governments are also backed by massive arms shipments from the U.S. Out of every country in the world, Saudi Arabia by far spends the largest portion of its GDP on defense.
If the ruling family cracks down violently on Saudi protesters tomorrow, as they have repeatedly threatened to do, it will be interesting to see how long it takes Obama to speak up against our biggest ally in the region. Then again, with King Abdullah maintaining such tight control over the country, the scheduled protests could simply fail to materialize.

Even if you've visited the Old City of Jerusalem, the IMAX film "Jerusalem" is likely to surprise you with its large format aerial views of its holy sites and bustling quarters.
Even if you've visited the Old City of Jerusalem, the IMAX film "Jerusalem" is likely to surprise you with its large format aerial views of its holy sites and bustling quarters. "I got goose bumps as they flew over the city," said Alan Grazioso of Arlington, after the film's first screening at the Museum of Science. "It felt like I was seeing the city revealed."
The filmmakers are among the few to receive permission to film in Jerusalem's no-fly zone, an approval they received only after a year of effort.
"We worked hard to build up a rapport," said director and filmmaker Daniel Ferguson, who filmed with a 15-perf 65mm camera mounted on a helicopter. "There was nothing that wasn't complicated."
The soaring vantage point reveals the density and the proximity of the city's Jewish, Muslim, Christian and Armenian quarters, which are bounded by a 2.5 mile wall and home to 40,000 people.
"I did not realize how close the areas were to each other, even though I lived there many years," said Toby Liebowitz after viewing the film.
Over 5,000 years old, Jerusalem is a city unlike any other. It is the only place sacred to the three major monotheistic religions, whose members still gather and worship at its ancient sites.
In tackling a project that required 14 visits to Jerusalem over five years, Ferguson and his fellow film makers Taran Davies and George Duffield aimed to show audiences what unites, rather than divides, its residents.
"Jerusalem stirs passions so deep and its role is so pivotal," they wrote in a statement. "Our goal is to look at the universal attachment to Jerusalem...to reveal how much Jews, Christians and Muslims have in common and inspire all of us to better understand each other."
Narrated by Benedict Cumberbach (from "Star Trek into Darkness" and PBS's "Sherlock), the film focuses on three teenage girls - Muslim, Christian and Jewish - whose families have lived many generations in Jerusalem. Each feels profoundly connected to the city, but go only to their own quarter and know little of each other. The film moves back and forth between the girls, which has the effect of bringing out both how much they have in common, despite their different experiences of the city.
And the film gives Jerusalem context within the geography and history of Israel, showing the Jordan River, Dead Sea, Masada, Mount of Olives and archaeological sites.
Still, the filmmakers know the limitations posed by a 45 minute IMAX film.
"I feel we have barely scratched the surface, but hopefully it will inspire people to think differently," Ferguson said.
Along with the aerial views, the filmmakers also shot underground in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre and inside archaeology digs. And it offers a rare look into religious celebrations – Good Friday, Easter, Ramadan, and Passover – that fill the Old City with life. To set up the cranes, massive lighting and other equipment, they had to secure permission from a multitude of governing, religious and military bodies.
Inside the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, the audience sees thousands of pilgrims holding candles during the Ceremony of Holy Fire, where worshipers hold torches and wait for the divine light to emerge from the tomb of Jesus. The narrow Old City streets are packed with Christians walking the Via Dolorosa and Muslims dancing after the Ramadan fast. Jews celebrate a Bar Mitzvah at the Western Wall, and Muslim men pray in the Al-Aqsa mosque.
"In other films you hear about conflict, but this was gentle and loving and hopeful," Liebowitz said.

we'll see what happens from hereCarmelo Anthony, who argued with the referees as Patterson scored on a dunk, admitted to his frustration in what is
becoming a trend. Melo again was in foul trouble despite his 37 points. "It gets frustrating out there,'' Anthony said. "You do your best to try to get to the hole and create something and nothing happens. Then you got to go back on the other end and something does happen. Maybe I got to do a better job of not being so frustrated and accepting the fact it's how it's going to be.''
at least melo is not blaming anyone else
14 turnovers and playing no defense in last 2 games.
Bring back Melo from begin of the season.
That set the stage for Anthony, who finished with 35 points and 13 rebounds, to be the hero, but his 16-footer from the right side went just long.
"That's the look I wanted," Anthony said. "I'll take that shot all day. Perfect look at it. I missed it. But that's the look I wanted."
(NY Post)
I realize it appears that Melo prefers that pull-up jumper from the elbow, more so than taking ball hard to the hoop, when he's in that late-game "clutch" situation. But I wonder if that mindset is b/c of the refs?
Basically, Melo has a 66% chance of something bad happening if he drives to the basketball.
More than any star, they seem to call an inordinate amount of offensive fouls on Anthony. He got space using his elbow last night and was called for the foul. Deron did the same thing, even wound up and brought the elbow down hard, then even used arm to seal defender as he drove around Felton's body before making a pass... a clearly worse offense than Carmelo... no foul.
And if a foul isn't called on Carmelo, he risks a flop to help amplify the effect, in order to get a call...
But even if that's ignored, then Carmelo realizes he's (most likely) going to get contact. Maybe not hammered, but enough hard contact somewhere to his body, which would be a foul to most stars, but will probably be ignored by the refs, and will definitely alter the shot attempt in some capacity.
Normally, if a star drives and a defensive player even swipes at the star as he drives, a whistle blows. In Anthony's case, they can shove the back, tug on his shorts, bang his body, do whatnot...
In other words, it's safer and less risk to just fake the penetration and pull-up. Now this poses a problem, b/c late in games Carmelo doesn't always have his legs.
We saw it in Dallas, then again against the Nets. Both games were the 2nd of back-to-back games (in consecutive nights). Tired legs, fear of bad stuff happening on the drive, equals 2 Ls.
Safest play is for Melo to drive to hoop, or be fed ball in post, use his body to draw the foul, & then swish the FTs.

I have no problem with this, Like Carmelo said he got the shot he wanted. I felt comfortable when he first released the shot
When we're healthier it will be easier for Melo to have his legs late in games but Lebron James is the only player that can truly handle the responsibility that has been given to Melo: Score, rebound, defend. Im not surprised at all Melo looked tired late in the game, he had Gerald Wallace and Bogans taking turns on him.
I give the Nets credit, they're a very good team. If anything the blame for this loss should go to Felton for missing/taking so many shots, Chandler for his poor defense on Lopez, or simply the absence of Jason Kidd
I wish had access to the footage of the game like 8's does to break down a play that truly costed us the game
Felton needs to shoot less. He's not in the D'antoni system anymore. He needs to be kept in check. That is what Kidd does so i can see real value to having Kidd on the floor in this last game.
Melo loves to do his pull up jumper to win games, thats where he is (typically) clutch. though you can see the legs are not under either of those shots and he's tired. He shouldn't be with the depth on this team and having STAT and Shump back would help with this issue. Overall i'm not concerned about Melo's willingness to get to the basket.
But it is duly noted that he gets substantially less calls then other players of his caliber in this league. He really gets no respect fro anyone other then his teammates and the other players in the league. The Media, the Refs, the Fans rip melo apart but I've only ever heard great things from his teammates and opponents.
he is playing to much alone but Knicks playing worse since Rockets game.
Look @ heat game Spurs game everything was working
+ Knicks will play 2 games with nets in short time again
When I analyze Melo I see:
1. The drive and or pull-up is based on feel not planned. Simply put, he uses his instincts to get the player out of solid defensive position, uses the opportunity to drive and or pull-up based on positioning and finally (like most good shooters) he'll adjust his release in the air considering the angle and distance.
This is the case shooting early or game winners. Obviously he can do that and be successful.
2. He's an EGO driven player/personality. Consider:
-He almost always answers if another "star" gets hot and attempts to take over
-He gets up for big games
-He performs the "heat check" almost every time he heats up
-He refuses to miss under the rim; get the rebound and reset. Instead he forces it back up and accompanies this with the primal howl to add effect (demonstrating increased effort)
-He beefs with the refs rightfully so or not to the detriment of his team (selfish mentality)
-****When he controls his ego and is humble we succeed more, illustrating the difference
This all leads me to conclude that he still needs to mature to become a leader. A leader can control this but knows when it's necessary to be ego-driven.
This is really the missing part of Melo in terms of being regarded as a real leader and superstar. He is improving and I'm not complaining, just saying he needs to work on this. Luckily we have vets like Kidd etc.. who should help him develop.
If he can conclude and believe WE are better when he realizes he can lead by deferring, motivating others, and making selfless decisions as well as a slew of other actions like shutting the f*ck up, taking it and playing through it instead of b*tching- not forcing shots.
we will be virtually unstoppable.
I'm inspired to talk about TRUST. Melo must trust his teammates and be humble like early on. Do this and it's more blow outs.
When Amare gets back, the Knicks will have enough offense to not rely on melo all 4 quarters. You'd like for melo to have enough gas to go the final 5 minutes. When Kidd played with Dirk, it would not be strange to see Dirk with 4 points in the first half and finish with 30. This is when Melo is the most effective, late game baskets, just like Dirk, Kidd just kept feeding the guy everywhere on the floor. You just need to keep Melo's tank from hitting E with 1 minute left in the game.
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I have to download every game to make my top 10s.
Anyway, what's the play you're talking about? I should be able to find it and put it up easily enough, if you'd like.
There was about a 2 minute span at the end of the game when we were up 5 and missed on like 5 straight plays with Melo getting no touches

Several newspapers have reported that all pregnant women will "get the right to a caesarean", regardless of whether there is a medical reason for having one. Currently, around one in four UK babies is delivered by caesarean.
The reports are based on new draft guidelines from the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), the national body that evaluates which treatments should be available for specific conditions. The proposed guidelines are the first major update from NICE on caesarean sections since 2004, and take into account the latest research on the procedure.
Although newspapers focused on caesareans potentially being available to a wider range of women, the draft guidelines cover all aspects of caesarean sections, including planning, timing, the procedure itself and care after a caesarean. The guidelines include a number of new and updated recommendations about all these areas, but the ones relating to who should be offered a caesarean state that:
Requested caesareans
In addition, the draft guidelines set out specific processes to follow if a woman asks for a caesarean:
Cases when a caesarean is recommended
The guidelines also recommend offering a planned caesarean to pregnant women under specific medical circumstances. Caesareans should be offered when a woman has:
No. The draft guidelines do not recommend that every woman should be routinely offered a caesarean. Rather, they state the medical circumstances where one is recommended and where one is not, and discuss the options that are available when a woman has a preference for a caesarean over a vaginal birth.
There are also several scenarios in which the guidelines say that women should not be routinely offered caesarean sections. These include women with:
NICE's existing caesarean guidance was issued in 2004. These new draft guidelines have take into account the evidence from newer research published since then. NICE's system for updating its guidance is based on an in-depth, step-by-step process, involving:
Draft guidelines will then be published on the NICE website to allow interested parties to review the recommendations and suggest changes.
No. These guidelines are still undergoing pre-publication checks and may be subject to further changes before they are made official. However, any further changes are likely to be small as the guidelines have already been adapted to incorporate changes suggested in the commenting phase, which occurred in May and June 2011. It is expected that the final, official guidelines will be published in November.

Alberta Lakes, After The Flooding
Hey guys,
Does anyone know what the situation is in terms of debris and accessability to lakes in Alberta, after all these floods? After a week of helping people pack up and taking on displaced house guests, it would be great to get the boat in the water somewhere.
Dr. Kenneth Noisewater
The Central Alberta lakes are doing good, Sylvan Lake, Gull Lake have no issues what so ever and my guess is heading towards Rocky at Cow lake and Crimson you should be good. Dont know where your located Kenneth, we are on Sylvan and no issues what so ever.

NASHVILLE, Tenn.—Tennessee Titans running back Chris Johnson is a man on the spot heading into the 2012 season.
After the least productive season in his career, the Titans need Johnson to bounce back this fall. It would take a big load of pressure off quarterback Jake Locker, who will be making his first NFL start on Sunday against the New England Patriots.
Johnson had a so-so preseason, rushing for 81 yards and two touchdowns on 28 carries. But he looked better in training camp, something he missed last year because of a contract holdout.
Johnson weighs about 200 pounds after adding 8 or 9 pounds in the offseason, and the extra weight should help him in between the tackles. But what the Titans want to see most from Johnson is his breakaway speed, something he didn't show off nearly enough while running for a career-low 1,047 yards in 2011.
Reynaud shows promise as returner
The Titans will have a new return man this fall in Darius Reynaud, who replaces Marc Mariani, a Pro Bowler in 2010.
When Mariani suffered a season-ending broken leg in the preseason, Reynaud moved into the role after a solid preseason in which he returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown in the preseason opener at Seattle.
Reynaud has experience as a returner in previous stints with the Giants and Vikings. Reynaud was out of football in 2011, so he hopes to return with a splash.

ARLINGTON -- Kameron Loe is going to miss one start because of a sore right elbow and is expected to be replaced by right-hander Jamey Wright when his spot comes up next week in Detroit. The elbow was a problem for Loe against the Kansas City Royals on Monday when he allowed two runs on five hits and four walks over three innings in an 8-1 loss. Dr. Keith Meister looked at Loe and said he had some inflammation in the elbow, but nothing appears to be seriously wrong. "My velocity was still good," Loe said. "I just got erratic because I was trying to find a release point where I could throw and not have it hurt." Loe could rejoin the rotation a week from Saturday in Oakland. Wright will likely start one of the two games in Tuesday's doubleheader against the Tigers in Detroit. The Rangers thought about left-hander A.J. Murray, but aren't eager to have him make his first Major League start against the Tigers' predominantly right-handed lineup. Murray rejoined the Rangers on Tuesday as a September callup and will be used out of the bullpen the rest of the month. But the Rangers are still looking at Murray as a future starter more than a candidate to be in their bullpen next year. "I'd like to make this team out of the 'pen," Murray said. "But if I can make it eventually as a starter, I'd love to have a career as a starter in the big leagues." White becomes bullpen candidate: The Rangers need for left-handed setup relief led them to call up reliever Bill White from Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. White was a third-round pick by the Arizona Diamondbacks in the 2000 First-Year Player Draft who had to overcome some injuries and control problems to try and get to the big leagues. If the Rangers use C.J. Wilson as their closer in 2008, they are going to be needing left-handed setup relievers and Minor League pitching coordinator Rick Adair recommended White. "We've heard good things," pitching coach Mark Connor said. "He has always been a kid with a good arm. He's had some control problems, but he throws anywhere from 90 to 94 [mph] with a good, hard slider. Rick has been in this guy's corner, just saying he's a guy we need to look at, especially in our situation." White was 2-0 with a 4.44 ERA in 43 appearances in Frisco. He averaged 11.8 strikeouts and 4.8 walks per nine innings. The Rangers picked him up after he was released by Washington in Spring Training. Otsuka shuts down: Akinori Otsuka reported more pain in his right elbow when he tried to throw on flat ground Tuesday. It's all but certain that he will not pitch again this season. He has been sidelined since the end of June with pain and inflammation in his right elbow/forearm area. "He said it was hurting," Connor said. "We'll keep trying. If he says he can throw, he'll throw." McCarthy goes off mound: Brandon McCarthy, on the disabled list with a stress fracture in his right shoulder blade, took another big step toward returning when he threw 24 pitches off a mound on Tuesday without any problems. "Everything felt great," McCarthy said. "This is the best I've felt since God knows how long." McCarthy will throw another bullpen session on Friday and then possibly two simulated games. He could get into a couple of games before the season ends, but has volunteered to pitch as many as three or four games in the instructional league to get his innings totals up. Feldman alters delivery: Reliever Scott Feldman has made some changes in his delivery. Instead of sidearm, Feldman is throwing from a three-quarters delivery, which Connor said is giving him more sink on his fastball and downward movement on his breaking ball. "This has a chance to be pretty good," Connor said after watching Feldman use the new delivery for the first time on Monday night. "He was busting his fastball 94-95, the ball was sinking and his four-seamer was cutting." Murphy stays in lineup: David Murphy, hitting .390 in 20 games with the Rangers, was in the lineup for the fourth straight game on Tuesday. Nelson Cruz, hitting .212, sat for the second straight game. Jason Botts was in left field. The Rangers went into the final two months wanting to play Botts and Cruz regularly, but Murphy is forcing his way into those plans. "He's certainly earned the time he's getting," manager Ron Washington said. "He's making us put him in there. Every day he has been in there, he has done well. We haven't given up on Cruz and Botts, but right now [Murphy] is playing." He said it: "I thought I was going with Frisco in the playoffs. I was kind of stunned. Sitting here, seeing all these guys ... you try to say it's still 60-feet, six-inches. You tell yourself to do what you've been doing. If they think you're good enough to be in the Major Leagues then they think you can get people out." -- White, on being called to the big leagues
Tuesday's Minor stars:
Silver: Class A Bakersfield outfielder Ben Harrison went 3-for-4 with a home run in a 5-2 victory over San Jose.
Bronze: First baseman Chris Kemp had three hits and Chad Tracy had two hits, including a home run, for Class A Clinton in a 7-5 loss to Burlington.
Briefly: Outfielder Freddy Guzman was called up on Tuesday, but Washington said he'll be used mainly as a defensive replacement and pinch-runner. ... The Rangers are planning to call up pitcher Luis Mendoza from Double-A Frisco for Wednesday's game. The Rangers are concerned about the workload of some of their relievers and want to make sure they have enough fresh arms. ... Edinson Volquez (3-1, 0.55 ERA) was the Rangers Minor League Pitcher of the Month for August, while Chris Davis (.302, 11 HRs, 23 RBIs) was the Player of the Month ... The Rangers made the following moves for the Minor League playoffs: sent right-hander Armando Galarraga from Triple-A Oklahoma to Double-A Frisco; sent outfielder Tim Smith, right-hander Andrew Laughter and second baseman Renny Osuna from Class A Spokane to Class A Clinton; sent righty Julio Santana, infielder Jay Heafner and outfielder Josh Bradbury from Clinton to Spokane.
Up next: Right-hander Vicente Padilla pitches against Royals right-hander Kyle Davies at 7:05 p.m. CT on Wednesday at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
Tuesday's Minor stars:
Gold: Frisco outfielder John Mayberry Jr. went 2-for-4 with two doubles and two RBIs. Splitting time between Frisco and Class A Bakersfield, Mayberry -- the Rangers No. 1 Draft pick in 2005 -- ended up hitting .235 with 30 home runs and 83 RBIs in 132 games and 489 at-bats.

now when you think about it santa clause has been a good figure about giving people there desires but at what cost does he get them at.
santa clause really damages kids minds.
cons of santa clause:
he abuses deers by making them carry all that weight continuous abuse year after year(harsh labor)
[IMG]https://encrypted-tbn3.************/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTirisIW4K6Hll5KLZvBukGtn4P0SDMh V78ii0ZPNuzHlWE6t1g[/IMG]
where does santa clause even get the presents from that's right he steals them they just come to santa clause without a cost,(gives kids imagination of just taking anything they desire since they know santa doesn't pay to get these gifts)
also gives the greed in that you have to leave cookies out in order to get a present,santa clause does not give you a present out of his will you must in order give him food a type of bribe to get a present from him,really children must give up something of theirs just for santa clause to give a gift.
[IMG]https://encrypted-tbn3.************/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcQQb0z56Om_JZmiHlshSPjeEyWDjMrW5 KIxGja1iWW5DbvbY1_LHw[/IMG]
also the naughty list, instead of using this to neglect/avoid children why not use this list to help solve problems int eh children life so that they can be good children and not be in the naughty list but ssanta doesn't do that and likes to see kids suffer and not to help them(rather than to help children with problems he makes a naughty list and avoids them, instead santa clause should help these children.)
also the ms.clause issue of santa clause getting a new wife every time they say he is happy then something happens to his wife and he keeps getting a new one.(basically cheating on his wife and puts messages to kids to cheat on there wifes and just get someone elses mom,yes because santa clause feels mothers are the most careful people so he prefers moms.)
[IMG]https://encrypted-tbn2.************/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSu2Se9c7VRnUg6vRknHtRbEQtIwaDXO Z3U6kE8T3O4NLt5IFo[/IMG]
so santa clause has harsh labor,stealing gifts, greed and gives them to people,neglects children instead of helping them,also likes to date mom more then single women.
does nobody see anything wrong with this and the messages it sends to children or do you think this is good and is a good message to people since santa clause gives you gifts.
so should santa clause deserve the death penalty,jail(how many years),change his traditional ways, or is santa clause not guilty of what he has been doing and shouldn't be charge for a thing(free of guilt)?

Second-guessing the break-up
Hi Meredith!
I'm a fun, nice girl in my late 20s who just got out of a two-year relationship. There were a lot of ups and downs and we lived together for a little while, but we just ended things. I'm having a really tough time with the breakup for a lot of reasons, and I just don't know if we did the right thing.
We never had a perfect relationship, but I'm of the mindset that there's nothing perfect in life. He has sweet qualities, but also bad ones, as well as a hefty amount of issues from his childhood and a lacking social life. He wasn't always great to me. He did some hurtful things (unintentionally). Nothing abusive, but sometimes he just doesn't get it.
I have my own issues, but I put my friends (who don't like him) first because they've always been there for me. I'm always busy with plans -- the polar opposite of him. He's used being alone, while I am the ultimate caretaker (to a fault), which might be why I'm second-guessing myself.
Every time we do something like this (we've broken up before), he ends up being amazing and awesome and there for me and tells me that he can't live without me, so I fall back into the routine. It's a frustrating cycle and I made the choice to break it, but I am obviously second guessing myself.
I'm not in a rush to settle down but I'm wondering if I should have stuck it out. Should I have waited around for him to grow up a bit and become the guy I know he wants to be and has the potential to be? Was I too rash in ending things when I might not have put in enough effort myself? (I don't think this is true, but again, I'm second-guessing.) I don't know what's right, and my heart and my head can never seem to agree on anything. I've kind of left things to the universe, like if we find a way back to each other in the future then it's meant to be -- but of course, I'm nervous we might not. And what happens then?
– Up&Down, Cape
You were right to end this, U&D. There's no need to "stick it out" when you're in a relationship that involves frequent break-ups and bad feelings. You can't wait for someone to grow up. He is who he is, and he just can't make you happy.
But you know all of that, right? This second-guessing is really about your fear of being alone. Suddenly he's gone, and you're freaking out about what's next.
I can promise you that there will be a next. You're outgoing, flexible, and you've got a great group of friends. You just have to get through this uncomfortable phase, which is basically about learning to be by yourself sometimes. It's not supposed to feel great. You just have to get through it.
You're allowed to mourn the relationship, but don't let yourself romanticize it. There is no "meant to be" when it comes to this guy. Sure, "there's nothing perfect in life," but there's definitely something better than what you had. Let him go.
Readers? Is this about missing him or a fear of being alone? Can the guy grow into a better person? Was she wrong to put her friends first? What should she do to get herself through this transition? Help.
– Meredith

How Emotions Work: In Humans and Computers is a no-nonsense explanation of what causes over 50 specific emotions within the mind of a human individual, and how that model of emotions can be utilized to identify, track, and predict emotions in Web users (emotions being the largest influencer of buying decisions globally), and also how emotions can be programmed for simulated computer consciousness.
Based on a new Unified Theory of Emotion, this book reveals how all human emotions can be modeled and understood from a daily life perspective, and also from a logical computing perspective. Both technology fans and non-technology fans alike love this plainly written book, packed with real-life examples of how this new model of emotional understanding is accurate in explaining our everyday human emotions. In addition, the tech fans enjoy how this book opens the door to amazing possibilities for our collective future, and how it lays out how to computer model artificial emotions programming.
©2013 Sean Webb (P)2013 Sean Webb
"A strange book, both nerdy and profound."
Sean Webb is a real outlier as a person, and he does not dumb down or move towards the mainstream reader. This means that he assumes the 'well informed reader' will know what 'passing a Turing test with zero variance' will mean - i.e. a computer that can always kid a human (aka 'an organic processor' in Mr Webb's world) that the computer is a human. The theme of this book is how you might model the emotions of a web user or, conversely, program a computer so that it displayed convincingly humanoid emotions. While the core audience for the book is thus programmers of AI, or web designers looking for an edge, it is thought provoking for a general reader interested in the human condition and consciousness.
I couldn't help feeling very warmly towards Mr Webb (who eloquently reads his own book), but I'm a bit afraid he might have been modelling my reader reactions and manipulating me to like him. When he says 'for audio listeners, I'm going to describe the next 16 diagrams, but hang on in there through the confusion and the examples at the end will make it clear.' I feel genuinely touched by his consideration. He understood my frustration, cared and reached out to me. Did he do it because he really likes me, or because he finds it in his own self interest to anticipate readers being turned off? Is there an ethical difference?
"Brilliantly elegant & simple foundations that work"
This book is a must read for anyone who deals with people either directly or over the ether. Sean Webb has crafted such an elegantly simple, beautiful model that you can apply in web design, in sales, in management, in your family life, and failing to take the lessons he teaches about how emotions work would be a serious oversight whether in improving your experience of life or growing your sales online and offline.
Looking forward to learning more about your research Sean. Great job. Thank you for producing such an excellent book.
The fomula: EP^RP=EP is so unbelievably elegant it has to be right! And real world evidence suggests it is bang on the money.
"Highly recommanded, must be read with passion!"
Not only i would read it again, i did it. There is so much to learn and understand about emotions. I would recommand to read this as often as possible. This book work!It change the way that i communicate with other. Please go to the podcast too. Do this for yourself. The author his a passionate, good story teller, gives ton's of examples.
So far, this book is not comparable!!!!
There are so many!
Too many Bears... In this book. :)

The former Gunner took less than three minutes to open the scoring as the hosts ran out comfortable winners despite Santi Cazorla's late strike after Jack Wilshere had seen red
The Dutchman took just three minutes to open the scoring on his first appearance against Arsenal since his £24m summer move before Wayne Rooney missed a glorious chance to double the lead from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time.
Patrice Evra effectively sealed the victory with a 66th minute header to take United to the top of the Premier League for at least a few hours ahead of Chelsea's clash against Swansea.
It may not have been pretty, but United were able to swat aside opponents once regarded as their greatest competitors. The 3,000 Gunners supporters in the stadium once again made clear their frustration, singling out chief executive Ivan Gazidis and chanting 'we want our Arsenal back'.
Sir Alex Ferguson chose to continue with the 4-4-2 formation used in the victory at Chelsea last Sunday, with Van Persie partnering Rooney in attack, while Aaron Ramsey was the only starter for Arsenal who featured in last season's humiliating 8-2 defeat at Old Trafford.
The Arsenal fans ignored Ferguson's plea in his programme notes to treat Van Persie as "a hero", instead booing their former captain and targeting him with vile chants.
It took just three minutes, though, for Van Persie to provide his answer as he took advantage of woeful Arsenal defending to score his 10th goal of the season.
United right-back Rafael exploited a gaping hole in the Gunners' left-back area and when Thomas Vermaelen failed to clear, the ball fell perfectly for Van Persie to shoot low into the bottom corner with his right foot from just inside the penalty area.
While Arsenal saw plenty of the ball in the opening period, they failed to create any chances of note and looked vulnerable defensively, with left-back Andre Santos particularly woeful.
The Gunners had goalkeeper Vito Mannone to thank for keeping them in the game as the Italian made fine stops to prevent Van Persie and then Rooney from doubling United's advantage.
|Manchester United are 11/2 to beat Aston Villa 2-0 with Paddy Power
Arsenal improved after the break, with Olivier Giroud striking against the outside of the post from a tight angle, but in truth if always felt as though United were coasting towards a comfortable victory.
In the 66th minute, United found the second goal with a well-worked corner routine seconds after Van Persie had forced Mannone into another excellent save.
From the resulting corner, Rooney played a one-two with Young and whipped in a vicious cross for Evra, the shortest man in the penalty area, to head home in the absence of any semblance of marking from the Arsenal defenders.
To add to the misery, Wilshere was sent-off three minutes for a second booking. The midfielder, who was booked in the first half for a late challenge on Tom Cleverley, could have no complaints after lunging in on Evra by the touchline.
The game then meandered to its conclusion before Cazorla scored a wonderful curling goal with the last kick of the match. It was nowhere near enough.
