While some of you thought you were having a pretty epic Saturday night, it probably didn't even come close to what the "One Tree Hill" cast experienced when they reunited over drinks and food.
In a series of photos posted onto several cast members' Instagrams, the gang including Sophia Bush, Bethany Joy Lenz, Daphne Zuniga and Stephen Colletti prove that they are still the best of friends.
"Peanuts (and one sleeping beauty) #longday #greatday #fam #likeitwasyesterday #pickuprightwhereweleaveoff #hitmewithyourbestshot #purplereign," Sophia wrote on social media Saturday night. "#fam "
Colletti added, "@rickglassman and co. #othfamily Thank you, Montreal."
CLICK: Relive the "One Tree Hill" series finale
One familiar face you may not see in the pictures is the one and only Hilarie Burton. But never fear loyal viewers. The actress was able to join in on the fun when she FaceTimed on Bush's phone.
"When you're trying to FaceTime bae from the hotel to tell her all the things, but she isn't picking up," Bush wrote. "#SendAwkwardScreenshots #BreytonFeels #AboutLastNight"
The cast has remained close ever since the final episode aired back in April 2012 on the WB. But most recently, show creator Mark Schwahn pictured what life would be like for some of the characters today.
PHOTOS: "One Tree Hill" Series Finale
"I think they would have been very happy. They were a very soulful couple," Schwahn told Glamour magazine of beloved characters Jake Jagielski and Peyton Sawyer. "They were a couple of artists. And they had great chemistry too–Bryan Greenberg and Hilarie had great chemistry."
He added, "She would have been completely happy. She chose an artist and she chose a writer, but not everyone's gonna choose the musician, come on!"
Loved "One Tree Hill"? Don't forget about Mark Schwahn's latest hit, "The Royals," returning to E! this fall.

Keep playing and eliminating people until there is a champion. Make sure when your champ wins that you give them a nice clear path to the toilet cause the beer will be up in no time! The champion can be called "Captain" until he/she is overthrown as champ.

To begin at the conclusion, my answer to my own question is: yes.
Those of us who conduct mood disorder research typically emphasize the underprescribing. Research I became aware of in the early 1980s found that only 20% to 25% of patients with MDD received minimally adequate treatment. NIMH and advocacy groups ramped up public awareness campaigns. Did they work? Many independent studies through at least last year have sadly come to the same conclusion found 30 years ago: Only a minority of MDD patients receive minimally adequate treatment—biological or psycho-social. Nothing has changed.
What's with the overprescribed then? An article in press at the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry, which I edit, from Pagura et al, reports that in 2005 about 27 million Americans took antidepressants. But only 26.3% of them met diagnostic criteria for any psychiatric diagnosis at any time during their lives. This computes to roughly 5% of the citizenry taking an antidepressant without an obvious justification. Most likely, some are appropriately receiving prescriptions from primary care providers for pain and other reasonable indications. But others are probably getting their "scripts" from a harried clinician in lieu of a time-consuming assessment and possibly therapy or counseling. As a society, we should do better.

The Eighth NASF Norwegian Auction in Support of Wild Salmon in Norway
Since 1989 the North Atlantic Salmon Fund (NASF) has brokered and helped pay-for the historic agreements with commercial netsmen that have greatly reduced the netting of adult salmon at sea. Without these agreements our salmon runs would be a fraction of what they are today. Nevertheless the netsmen are being paid NOT to fish on an continual basis therefore this fund raising cannot cease. To help raise funds every year, the Norwegian branch of NASF and their supporters host an annual auction in Oslo of some fantastic fishing.
The generous donations from the supporting fisheries and others are truly superb.
Here is the auction catalogue. Wow!
Fishers from around the world can bid and winners will enjoy the trip of a lifetime and help save salmon in the process.
Happy bidding (or at least dreaming!)

The IEA, in its annual World Energy Outlook, has predicted that crude oil prices will rise to $128 a barrel by 2035, with a 16% increase in consumption supporting the development of "tight oil" (I suppose that means oil squeezed out of shale) in the U.S. and a tripling in output from Brazil. We most likely won't be needing oil produced by OPEC (Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries—remember the Arab oil embargo and resulting gas crisis of the early 1970s?), but OPEC may bounce back within the next 10-15 years "as other nations struggle to repeat North America's success with exploiting shale deposits," IEA has predicted.
"A number of more agile experts would say that the IEA is right about the role and importance of the U.S. in supply but for that very reason will be embarrassed by the continue decline in price ($80-90 range over the period)," a consultant told me. "The IEA is famous for lagging reality by a few years."
IEA Executive Director Maria van der Hoeven and Chief Economist Fatih Birol spoke at a news conference in London about the organization's world energy outlook, U.S. oil production, Brazil's exports, and the role of the Middle East in the global supply chain, in a report written by Bloomberg's Grant Smith:
"Soaring shale output in the U.S. is helping the world's largest oil consumer achieve its highest level of energy independence in two decades, cushioning it against disruptions in Africa and the Middle East. The boom threatens revenues for OPEC's 12 members (Algeria, Angola, Ecuador, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and Venezuela), whose production is at its lowest in two years amid political unrest in Libya and theft in Nigeria.
"U.S. oil production will rise to 11.6 million barrels a day in 2020, from 9.2 million in 2012, as it taps rock and shale layers in North Dakota and Texas with the use of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing, according to the IEA. Over the same time period, Saudi Arabian production will fall to 10.6 million barrels from 11.7 million and Russia will slip to 10.4 million barrels from 10.7 million. The figures include natural gas liquids, condensates, and crude. U.S. output will plateau after 2020, and the nation will lose its top ranking at the start of the 2030s. 'We do not expect this trend will continue after the 2020s,' Fatih Birol said. 'It will come to a plateau and decline as a result of the limited resource base of light tight oil.'
"Global oil demand will expand by 14 million barrels to average 101 million a day in 2035, according to the IEA report. The share of conventional crude will drop to 65 million barrels by the end of the period because of growth in unconventional supplies, the IEA said, without providing current data. The concentration in global oil trade will continue to shift to the Asia-Pacific region from the Atlantic Basin, as China is on the verge of becoming the world's biggest oil importer, the report showed. India will displace China as the biggest driver of energy demand growth after 2020.
"'The U.S. moves steadily toward meeting all of its energy needs from domestic resources by 2035,' the IEA said. 'But this does not mean that the world is on the cusp of a new era of oil abundance. Light, tight oil shakes the next 10 years, but leaves the longer term unstirred. The Middle East, the only large source of low-cost oil, remains at the center of the longer-term outlook.'"
A 10-year limit to the shale oil and gas boom? "Here also a number of more agile experts would say that the IEA is lagging reality in terms of the tremendous improvements in the productivity and effectiveness of shale extraction," says the consultant I spoke with. "Thus the supposed short 10-year life of shale oil and gas is likley to be much, much longer."
A Nov. 14 Cowen and Company roundtable provided insight into the regulatory requirements facing the tank car industry, the growing potential for oil drilling south of the border, and other key issues.
Could upcoming tank car regulations significantly impact the future of CBR? "New safety regulations could be drafted as early as Dec. 5, with potentially game-changing consequences for tank car manufacturers and strong ripple effects on the rail and energy industries, among others," said Cowen and Company Managing Director and Railway Age Contributing Editor Jason Seidl. "Perhaps the worst-case scenario would be a mandate requiring retrofitting existing fleets with jacketing, a process the roundtable speakers seemed to agree is so costly, time-consuming, and complex that it would render much of the [existing] fleet almost obsolete."
"The Mexican State-owned petroleum company Pemex has submitted tank car inquiries in the U.S., according to one of our speakers," Seidl noted. "This is yet another sign that the Mexican government is getting closer to exploring likely oil reserves south of Texas. If production does occur at some point in that region, car manufacturers, and railroads such as Kansas City Southern and Union Pacific, would stand to benefit."
Not only car manufacturers, but suppliers of components—wheels, trucks, couplers, draft gear, brake equipment, side bearings, etc.
But the rail industry itself appears to be looking to stay one step ahead of major regulatory changes regarding tank car safety. Today, the AAR released a statement in which it urged the U.S. Department of Transportation "to press for improved federal tank car regulations by requiring all tank cars used to transport flammable liquids to be retrofitted or phased out, and new cars built to more stringent standards." AAR went as far as to spell out several changes in tank car construction, and expressed a desire to phase out older designs (such as the ones involved in the Lac Mégantic accident and a recent CBR train derailment in Alabama that fortunately did not result in any injuries or deaths).
Isn't the railroads asking for more regulatory action a bit odd? Not where safety and risk mitigation are concerned. As an industry, if we're going to take on additional hazmat traffic that, as a side benefit to developing a profitable line of business, will help the nation move toward energy self-sustainability and freedom from energy dependence upon politically unstable regions like the Middle East, we're going to make sure we do it safely.

What do you think Esme thinks of Renesmee?
I agree with most. I think she loves Renesmee even more than a human could. I think her bond would be similar to Rosalie's. Esme had a son (I think it was a boy) and he died so young. She was so upset she tried to kill herself. She obviously feels quite passionately for children. That's probably what makes her such a caring mother towards the rest of the Cullen's, but seeing how Nessie came into the world - I think she'd care for her even more.
Logan? Derek? are we counting posts?

Never miss another 'Cheryl' show
A Million Lights Tour: Cheryl + Tinchy Stryder
Cheryl has announced details of her first solo UK tour, taking place in arenas around the country this October.
With two No. 1 solo albums already under her belt, she releases her third album 'A Million Lights' on July 8th. Cheryl will be performing songs from all three albums on the tour as well as some surprises.
Although this will be Cheryl's first headline arena tour, she is certainly no stranger to the live circuit. She opened as special guest on the Black Eyed Peas European tour in 2010 and also played four sold-out arena tours as part of Girls Aloud.
Hip-hop and pop star Tinchy Stryder has been confirmed as the support act for Cheryl's UK headline tour.
This event takes place at Metro Radio Arena, which has achieved Bronze Status for disabled access from Attitude Is Everything.
Cheryl has been in the public eye since late 2002 when she auditioned for the reality television show Popstars: The Rivals, going on to be picked as one fifth of Girls Aloud. The group went on to have twenty consecutive top ten singles (including four No. 1's) in the UK and five platinum albums (two of which went to No. 1) and earned five BRIT Award nominations from 2005 to 2010. When Girls Aloud went on hiatus in 2009, Cheryl went solo, bagging herself two No. 1 albums - 3 Words (2009) and Messy Little Raindrops (2010) - and became an X Factor judge, mentoring the winning act for two years running. Cheryl releases her third solo album in 2012 and heads out for her first UK arena tour.

Book Review: Did she or didn't she: Does it even matter?
Dorothy Parker was born on this day 119 years ago in West End, N.J., just a year after poet Edna St. Vincent Millay, about which Parker said "I was following in the exquisite footsteps of Miss Edna St. Vincent Millay, unhappily in my own horrible sneakers."
That sounds a good deal like the acerbic and disenchanted Mrs. Parker, a leader in that circle called the Algonquin Round Table.
In 1963, she commented that, at 70, "If I had any decency, I'd be dead. Most of my friends are."
She passed on to the Round Table in the Sky (or possibly somewhere else) three years later, leaving a treasure trove of quips people still quote.
She's the woman who said "If you laid all the Smith and Vassar girls end to end at next week's Harvard-Yale game, I wouldn't doubt it a bit."
When her husband Alan Campbell died in Hollywood, a mourner at the wake told Parker that, "If I could be of any help in your mourning period, let me know."
"Well go out and get me a new husband," Parker replied.
"That's disgusting," said the offerer.
"Well then get me a ham and cheese on rye...and hold the mayo."
Legend has it that Parker and Clare Boothe were at the door of the Algonquin Hotel's ballroom. Boothe opened it for Parker and said, "Age before beauty." Parker swept by her saying, "And pearls before swine."
One of the problems for Parker biographers is that you can't always believe the legends of her oral tradition.
Several years ago, Algonquin manager Andrew Anspach, who knew Parker in her old age, told me that Parker claimed that she hadn't said all those wonderful lines and also said she had never met Clare Boothe.
So that's what's wrong with talking rather than getting down to work writing.
Parker was notorious for missing deadlines when she wrote for Vanity Fair and later Esquire. So there's precious little to judge her true literary capabilities.
There's a fabulous short story called "Big Blonde," which is most definitely autobiographical as it chronicles the unsuccessful love life of a chubby lady, which Parker most definitely was. And there are a few collections of her poetry. Here's one:
Lady, lady, should you meet
One whose ways are all discreet
One who murmurs that his wife
Is the lodestar of his life
One who keeps assuring you
That he never was untrue....
Never loved another one....
Lady, lady, better run!
Parker's story is a sad one. She tried suicide several times.
When she was a drama critic in the 1920s she wrote snappy reviews like "Last night at the Belasco Miss Katharine Hepburn ran the gamut of her emotions from A to B."
After slashing her wrists and missing a play, her friend Alexander Woolcott came to her hospital room and said, "What a creative way to avoid seeing that awful play."
When I saw the movie "A Star is Born," starring James Mason and Judy Garland, its grimness left me totally depressed. Years later I tuned in to an earlier version starring Frederick March and Janet Gaynor.
Up until the end, when March walks into the ocean, the movie was hilarious. When the credits rolled, I noticed the screenwriters: Dorothy Parker and Alan Campbell!
Pretty obviously Parker glossed over her disenchantment with smart talk, as in her verse "Guns aren't lawful/ Nooses give/ Gas smells awful/ You might as well live."
Before Parker died in 1965 amid her cats and their feces at the Volney Hotel in NYC, she gave orders that her ashes be delivered to her friend Lillian Hellman.
Hellman dropped them off at the Algonquin, where they were misplaced. So Parker didn't even get to use the epitaph she had written for herself: Excuse My Dust.

Irving Oil also will ask its suppliers to adhere to these standards—Association of American Railroads (AAR) CPC-1232—by the end of the year, President and CEO Paul Browning said in a statement. In fact, said Browning, "We have made substantial progress in converting our fleet of crude oil railcars to meet this enhanced standard," adding that 88% of Irving Oil's fleet already complies with the standard. AAR specification CPC-1232 recommends that DOT-111 tank cars include reinforcements and enhancements that have been reported to reduce the risk of product loss if they are involved in derailments. All DOT 111 tank cars built since October 2011 adhere to CPC-1232; the AAR as well as Canada's Transportation Safety Board (TSB) is now calling for even tougher standards.
Early last month, 19 cars and one locomotive in a 122-car CN train carrying crude oil in DOT 111 cars derailed and caught fire near Plaster Rock, New Brunswick, en route to an Irving Oil refinery in Moncton, N.B. No injuries occurred.
The derailment and explosion last July in Lac-Mégantic, Quebec, which killed 47 people, also involved DOT-111 tank cars being hauled by short line Montreal, Maine & Atlantic Railway, carrying crude oil destined for an Irving Oil refinery.


text: My beef with this whole situation is that they punished her by trying to take away her home junior slam when she is the number player in the WORLD. I don't care that her recent results are below the USTA expectations. She earned that #1 ranking by winning the AO junior slam singles and doubles. It's hers until someone takes it away. So if a just turned 16 year old Lindsey Davenport or Martina Navratilova or Petra Kvitova, all who were known or are known for there perceived lack of fitness, played for the USTA PD they would have been kept out of the junior slam. Girls' bodies are still developing at this age and I doubt that she isn't fit in the cardiovascular sense of being fit. You shouldn't force diets on teenage girls who are not obese. The developing brain of an impressionable teenage girl is sensitive. I know because I have one. You say, "Darling, you need to get into better shape" and they hear, "Hey fatty, you seriously need to lose that butt." And the fact that it's public, on the internet, the subject of tweets will only add to the humiliation. Continue to emphasize her fitness training but don't keep her out of competition. How does that help her?

Simon and Kirby created Steve Rogers, a would-be army enlistee rejected by recruiters because of his small size. Rogers volunteers to receive a top-secret serum, and he is transformed into a "super soldier." Dubbed Captain America and clad in a red, white, and blue costume
During World War II, American comic-book publishers produced a spate of patriotic, Nazi-fighting superheroes. One of the most popular was Timely Comics' Captain America. In the first Captain America story, by writer Joe Simon and illustrator Jack Kirby, anemic student Steve Rogers is offered the opportunity to join the war effort by taking an experimental serum, which pushes his strength, agility, and endurance to the peak of human performance. Armed with an indestructible shield, Captain America wages war against Nazi super-villain the Red Skull.
The series continued for several years after the war but was canceled in 1949. Captain America returned to the mainstream of what is now Marvel Comics in 1964, when the superhero group the Avengers discovered him beneath the ocean, frozen in suspended animation. Revived, he joined and eventually led the group, fighting various criminals with his superpowers.
As the 20th century progressed, Captain America and his plotlines reflected the political and cultural evolution of the United States. Stories from the 1960s showed Captain America struggling to understand the Vietnam-era counterculture. In later decades, writers such as Mark Gruenwald and Ed Brubaker often had him clashing with the government while remaining fundamentally a patriot. In a 2006–07 story line he defended civil liberties by leading an underground resistance against the government's attempt to register and regulate costumed superheroes. The conclusion of that story saw the apparent assassination of Steve Rogers at the hands of agents of the Red Skull. A number of costumed heroes filled the role of Captain America over the following years, but Rogers—revealed to be alive and newly emerged from a state of regenerative hibernation—resumed his mantle as the Star-Spangled Avenger in a relaunch of his comic book in 2009. Although Captain America has long been a cultural icon, most attempts to bring him to television and film were unsuccessful and quickly forgotten; an exception was the big-budget movie Captain America: The First Avenger (2011).
with a matching stars-and-stripes shield, Rogers joins the U.S. Army, acquires a kid sidekick—plucky regimental mascot Bucky Barnes—and embarks on a career of enthusiastic Nazi-bashing.
The early stories were simple, straightforward tales peopled with bizarre villains such as the Hunchback of Hollywood, the Black Toad, and Ivan the Terrible. Chief among them was the Red Skull, a seemingly invincible Nazi whose face literally was a crimson skull. The stories of derring-do were gripping and fast-moving, and the comic became one of the most widely read titles of the so-called Golden Age of comics. Audience identification with Captain America was central to that success. The first issue announced the creation of "The Sentinels of Liberty" fan club; eager young readers could join for just a dime, which entitled them to a membership card and a metal badge. The club proved so popular that its badge promotion had to be discontinued because of wartime metal rationing.
By the time of the attack on Pearl Harbor, in December 1941, Captain America Comics had become the publisher's top-selling title, and, over the course of World War II, Captain America and Bucky fought the Axis powers on multiple fronts. After 10 successful issues, the comic's creators were enticed away to rival company DC Comics, but their replacements—novice writer-editor Stan Lee and various artists—handled things well. In 1944 the character received the honour of his own Republic Pictures serial, Captain America, which was confirmation of his iconic status. As the war wound down, the market for patriotic superheroes began to shrink, and Captain America and Bucky were literally put on ice. In a story set in the final days of the war, the pair attempt to defuse a bomb on a drone aircraft, but the plane explodes over the frigid North Atlantic, sparking a complicated chain of events that ends with Bucky missing and Rogers floating in the water, seemingly dead.
The postwar years saw a proliferation of differently themed comics: horror, funny animals, westerns, romance stories—everything, it seemed, except superheroes. With the disappearance of Rogers, the mantle of Captain America passed to a succession of replacement heroes, but they failed to resonate with the stalwart Sentinels of Liberty club members. Captain America Comics ended with issue no. 73 (July 1949), and, after two issues titled Captain America's Weird Tales, the series was canceled. Barely four years later, however, Captain America returned in Young Men no. 24 (1953), and the Captain America comic resumed printing in May 1954. The book, which boasted Captain America…Commie Smasher! as a subtitle, was an obvious product of the McCarthy era. The public did not warm to it. The Captain America series was canceled for a second time in September 1954.
In the early 1960s, with Marvel's superheroes rediscovering a large and enthusiastic audience, the time seemed right to reintroduce Captain America. In Avengers no. 4 (1964), it was revealed that Steve Rogers had not died in the freezing waters of the North Atlantic. He had been trapped in ice and preserved in a state of suspended animation. The newly formed Avengers find Rogers's thawing body and revive him. Captain America immediately joins the Avengers and becomes something of an elder statesman among them. Within a year of his revival, he graduated to his own strip in Tales of Suspense, a title he shared with Iron Man, and was well on his way to becoming an icon again.
Despite Kirby's return, the new Captain America failed to achieve the popularity of Marvel's powerhouse headliners, such as Spider-Man and the Fantastic Four. As an admission that the strip was at its peak during World War II, this revival almost immediately resorted to "untold tales" of the war. The character was nevertheless a cornerstone of the "Marvel Universe" in the 1960s, and, with Lee and Kirby at the peak of their powers, the stories were a compelling read.
By the early 1970s Lee and Kirby had left the comic and sales were in decline when young writer Steve Englehart took Captain America into deeper, darker waters. In a lengthy tale that reflects both antiwar sentiment and cynicism born of the Watergate scandal, a conspiracy within the White House is revealed to be the work of the evil "Secret Empire," and the government's insidious corruption horrifies Captain America. Sickened at what he sees as the betrayal of his country, Rogers quits in disgust and briefly becomes a character called Nomad before his innate patriotism gets the better of him.
Kirby returned to Captain America as both writer and artist in 1975, and he moved the title away from the social commentary that was typical of Engelhart's take on the character. A series of writers shepherded Captain America into the 1980s, and in 1985 Mark Gruenwald began a decadelong tenure on the book. Gruenwald's run focused on superheroics at the expense of Rogers's civilian persona, and it introduced Diamondback—a sometime villain who evoked shades of Catwoman—as a romantic interest.
Mark Waid took over as writer in 1995, and he refocused on the basics of the character: while Steve Rogers might be a "man out of time," Captain America is a symbol for all times. Waid's brief but influential run paved the way for the virtual reinvention of the character in 2005, when Ed Brubaker began his critically acclaimed stint as the writer of Captain America. While not shying away from comic conventions such as time travel, Brubaker's Captain America was a soldier, and his adventures were noir-influenced tales of intrigue and espionage. Brubaker deftly reversed one of the most famous deaths in comics history with a story revealing that although Bucky lost an arm in the explosion at the war's end, he survived, and his unconscious body was recovered by the Soviets. They replaced his missing arm with a bionic one and brainwashed him into becoming an assassin called the Winter Soldier. Between missions he was kept in suspended animation, and thus Bucky, though now an adult, was still in his early 20s. Upon the apparent death of Steve Rogers in 2007, Bucky assumed the role of Captain America, a mantle that he carried until his own apparent death in 2011. At that time Rogers once again became Captain America and Bucky resumed his clandestine operations—now as Captain America's ally—as the Winter Soldier.
In addition to appearing in comics, Captain America was featured in numerous animated television series and an assortment of video games. Director Joe Johnston's Captain America: The First Avenger (2011) marked the character's first appearance on the big screen in almost 70 years. Chris Evans played the star-spangled hero in a film that expanded on Marvel's cinematic universe in a manner that delighted both comics fans and critics. Evans returned as Captain America in The Avengers (2012).

For as long as he can remember, Sarasota resident Peter Herke's life has revolved around cars and racing.
He rolls out from beneath a BMW he's been working on and wipes his hands on an old rag. Behind him, in his shop, sits a handful of other cars, mostly BMWs, hidden under protective covers. These highly modified cars, including several rarities, are only part of the collection Herke has built during his 40-year racing career.
Now, sitting in his office, which is lined with racing trophies, photos of his old cars and other mementos, the Berlin native describes how he developed his need for speed at a young age.
"You take a watch apart to see how it works, and you find that you're mechanically inclined," he says. "Then you take apart your bicycle, and you move on to mopeds, and, of course, you modify them to see how fast he you can make them."
At the age of 14, Herke became a journeyman and learned the ins and outs of the car mechanic trade before beginning a career that would take him all over Europe. He worked for dealerships and racing teams. In 1972, Herke opened his own shop in San Francisco, where he met his wife.
Shortly after starting the business, Herke grew anxious to get out of the shop and onto the track.
"I always wanted to give it a try," he says. "I wanted to see what it was like on the other side."
He earned his proper racing qualifications and bought a 1968 BMW, which in a slight stretch of the truth, he told his wife he was going to resell, and prepared it for the track. After his first race, Herke says the feeling of being behind the wheel had him hooked.
"You go into the turns as fast as you can, and you try to push the limits before you fly out," he says. "It's like you're dancing with the car. You try to scare yourself — or others."
Soon, Herke and his family lived and breathed racing. His wife, Rosemarie, is quick to point out that the couple even had to plan their wedding around his racing schedule. His daughter, Sonja Dickey, remembers growing up immersed in the racing culture.
"My brother and I practically grew up on the racetrack," she says. "We used to love going out there and getting dirty. It was such a cool experience for us."
Although he often raced against drivers backed with much heavier factory support, Herke's knowledge of the cars, combined with his skill behind the wheel, gave him a competitive edge, and he saw a lot of success throughout the years.
Herke says that some people are born to race, but he doesn't include himself in that category.
"I'm better behind the scenes," he says. "My excitement comes from seeing a car at 9,000 rpms. I want to see how fast I can make a car go, and how far I can push the materials and the motor. If it breaks, you start over."
After closing his shop and retiring in the late 1990s to Sarasota, he slowly transitioned into a more behind-the-scenes role, suping up cars for his son, Andre, who's developed his own successful racing career using Herke's cars.
"He drives with my wallet now," Herke jokes.
Even as he approaches his 70th birthday, Herke's love for cars hasn't faded. He's in his shop six days a week, constantly working on his cars to restore them and, of course, make them faster.
Herke remains modest, but his reputation as an expert BMW mechanic still precedes him.
"We still go on father/daughter road trips," says Dickey. "I can't believe how many people know who he is. Everyone comes up and asks him for advice. He becomes the guy everyone comes to."
Big boy toys
Herke's current car collection consists of the following:
• 1973 Pantera L
• 1972 BMW 2002 tii
• 1972 BMW 2002 "Shorty"
• 1961 Porsche 356

Hello, I'm trying to use the LVS_EDITLABELS style to allow label editing on all the rows of a listview control; the problem is that only works for the first column althought I click over another column (the edit box is placed always over the first column of the selected row).
I'm thinking on get the selected column by getting the mouse position over the listview and then create an edit control and place it over the selected column of the selected row to do an alternative label editing. Is that the way to do it? Or I'm missing something about the default listview label editing?
Thank's in advance

The Hazen Union High Wildcats ended the Lake Region Rangers season Friday with a 2-1 victory in overtime. Forward Jake Gilcris scored both goals for the Wildcats, to give them the edge they needed in a messy but exciting game.
As with the Rangers' last home game, where they defeated the Oxbow Olympians, the field was slippery, muddy, and pockmarked by cleats. To make matters more challenging, it was cold, windy, and a mist engulfed the field for most of the first half of the game. Still, fans were lined up on the hill, stretching the length of the field, finding shelter under canvas canopies and umbrellas.

This is my favorite Emily Dickinson poem, even though it is not her best. It is the poem for which I have the most affection:
I dreaded that first Robin, so,
But He is mastered, now,
I'm accustomed to Him grown,
He hurts a little, though—
I thought If I could only live
Till that first Shout got by—
Not all Pianos in the Woods
Had power to mangle me—
I dared not meet the Daffodils—
For fear their Yellow Gown
Would pierce me with a fashion
So foreign to my own—
I wished the Grass would hurry—
So—when 'twas time to see—
He'd be too tall, the tallest one
Could stretch—to look at me—
I could not bear the Bees should come,
I wished they'd stay away
In those dim countries where they go,
What word had they, for me?
They're here, though; not a creature failed—
No Blossom stayed away
In gentle deference to me—
The Queen of Calvary—
Each one salutes me, as he goes,
And I, my childish Plumes,
Lift, in bereaved acknowledgment
Of their unthinking Drums—
Besides her wonderful slants and off rhymes, the half smile of enlightenment seems pressed to her lips, as if the poem itself were everything we needed to know of dread and sorrow and of the gentle acceptance, and humor of things beyond consoling.
Spring is relentless in its coming, not a creature fails, and it is, as in many Dickinson poems, the passion and then the tomb–the imperial tomb of the Saturday vigil before the dawn. Emily leaves off before the resurrection. She, like Teresa of Avila>, loves so much that she would not dare be wanton for heaven, but place herself in that realm of the sealed tomb–the dark night of the soul, the bridal chamber where the cross and the tomb are joined.
And who could ever predict or be anything less than awed by her wonderful and utterly unprecedented use of verbs: "Not all pianos in the woods / had power to mangle me–". This is one of my most cherished poems. I always wanted it set to music and for Billy Holiday to sing it. She's the only singer with the style and beautiful sad knowledge and ruefulness to pull it off.

Buccaneer Energy Ltd., Sydney, said the Kenai Loop-4 well on the east side of Alaska's Cook Inlet tested gas to surface at 3 MMcfd on a 12/64-in. choke with 3,365 psi flowing tubing pressure. No water was detected, and gas was flared.
The test was carried out through perforations in a 10-ft section of the uppermost sand at 10,300 ft measured depth. This sand, one of seven stacked pay sands with gas shows encountered in Kenai Loop-4 to a depth of 13,000 ft, correlates to the 9,700-ft sand in the Kenai Loop-1 well.
Buccaneer, which has a 100% working interest in 9,308 acres in the development project area, plans to run a four-point test and disclose the results.

Afcon: Keeping the faith in African goalies
01 Feb 2013 00:00 | Carlos Amato
One of the many peculiar things about goalkeepers is that they are paid less than forwards and midfielders. But they have difficult, specialised skills and play a greater role than any other position in ensuring victories (or defeats). Why the raw deal?
Economists will say it is a simple case of supply and demand. In any given club, several hungry keepers are competing for one jersey, so each of their bargaining positions is weak. Others see a pattern of financial discrimination against the "mentally unbalanced".
And on the Africa Nations Cup stage, the wage gap is even wider, because most African international netminders keep for their keep at smaller, poorer clubs than their outfield comrades either in their domestic leagues or in the drizzly depths of Europe's lower divisions.
But at this Cup, Africa's keepers are striking back against the machine. They are pulling out all the stops to claim their bonuses and dominate the headlines.
Itumeleng Khune kept Bafana Bafana in the competition with a sequence of stupendous one-on-one saves against Morocco. If the Grim Reaper ever came for Khune, you get the feeling the Chiefs star would rob the deathly visitor of his scythe before he even entered the property.
He has gone home now, but the Democratic Republic of Congo's Muteba Kidiaba caught the world's attention with his kung-fu master's ponytail and his horse-riding buttock-boogie of a goal celebration. But Kidiaba was not all theatre: he pulled off some excellent saves in the 2-2 draw against Ghana.
Fiery public condemnation
Nigeria's Vincent Enyeama has been solid enough between the sticks, but instead raised eyebrows with his fiery public condemnation of the dubious late penalty awarded against his side in a 1-1 draw against Zambia. The dynamic Chipolopolo netminder Kennedy Mweene, who converted the spot kick in question with his usual aplomb, has now gone home to his day job in Bethlehem, following the champions' first-round exit after a woeful showing upfront.
It remains a mystery why Mweene is so loyal to employers Free State Stars, when he could be coining it elsewhere.
By contrast, Khune of Kaizer Chiefs and Kidiaba, who works for diamond-funded Congolese giants TP Mazembe, are probably the richest keepers in this tournament. Starring as they do for powerful and passionately supported clubs, they have little incentive to accept a modest contract at a small European side not least because it is highly unlikely they would then attract bids from the Champions League elite.
In the highest reaches of the European game, there is still a market prejudice against African keepers, who are seen as erratic, emotional and technically unpolished.
If a superclub does not give the No 1 jersey to a home boy, it is generally likely to employ the product of a country that has gained a reputation for good goalkeeping, such as Holland, Germany, Spain, Poland, Denmark and the United States.
For all the hard science of modern transfer trading, national stereotypes seem to come into play whenever a decision is made between two comparable players.
Bollocks, say the scouts. They will tell you that statistics are unanswerable and they say height is the variable holding African keepers back.
The scouts know all about Khune's world-beating distribution skills his long, raking kicks that arrow precisely to the feet of a winger would be a precious asset in any league.
But Khune stands at 180cm, too short, they say, to handle the merciless aerial flak of the European game. If he was 7cm taller, he would be able to claim more high balls among a jostling thicket of players and would be the complete modern keeper.
Kidiaba is also 180cm tall and so are Vincent Enyeama, who plays for Maccabi Haifa, and Ghana's agile Fatawu Dauda of Ashanti Gold. The Ivorian Boubacar Barry, who plays for Lokeren in Belgium, is only a centimetre taller.
Dauda of Ashanti Gold has shone this month, but his selection as No 1 was controversial, with many Black Stars fans preferring the half-Norwegian Adam Larsen Kwarasey of Strømsgodset height 190cm who guards his net in an untheatrical Scandinavian style. Another outlier in the class of 2013 is the man Bafana have to beat tomorrow: Mali's Mamadou Samassa of Guingamp, who stands 196cm in his socks.
It is not clear why so many top African keepers are relatively short, given that there are plenty of towering African defenders and strikers in the game.
Perhaps the continent's football culture overvalues theatricality and charisma in its gladiators of the goalmouth and is too forgiving of their shortage of centimetres.
But to hell with it. Tomorrow night, I would sooner have Khune in Bafana's goal than Manuel Neuer or Gianluigi Buffon.

Improve your short game - Session 3
Improve Your Short Game:
Practice Session 3 - Basic Chip Shots
So far in our short game series, we have practiced our wedge shots and short putts. This week we are going to practice one of the most important shots in golf, the basic chip shot.
The basic chip shot is designed to pop the golf ball into the air before golf ball returns to the ground and rolls to its destination. This shot is an essential for every golfer's game.
The basic chip shot is a simple motion, as you should strive to hit this shot simply by rocking your shoulders as you make a slight turn with your upper body. Your hands will simply hold on to the golf club as your body does the work to hit the ball. The following setup tips will help you make a descending strike on the ball at impact:
- Grip down at the bottom of the grip
- Take your stance with your feet closer together than shoulder-width
- Lean your weight slightly towards your target
- Contact the golf ball with a descending blow by keeping your hands in front of the ball at impact
Practice Drill #1 – Towel Drill
My favorite drill for the basic chip shot is the Towel Drill. In this drill, you will place a towel over the spot you want the golf ball to land before it rolls towards the hole. Take five golf balls per target and try to land each shot on the towel.
One major question in this drill is, "How will I know where to place the towel?" The answer is that it depends. I want you to practice with three clubs – a sand wedge, a pitching wedge, and an eight iron. Assuming a flat surface and normal green speeds, the ball should fly:
- 50% in the air and 50% on the ground with a sand wedge
- 45% in the air and 55% on the ground with a pitching wedge
- 33% in the air and 67% on the ground with an eight iron
After the ball hits the ground it should roll like a putt would. Read the break from your landing spot and plan accordingly. For example, if the ball should roll to the right, plan to land the ball to the left of the hole so it rolls and finishes close to the hole.
Bonus Practice Drill – The Scrambling Game
The Scrambling Game combines this week's chip shot and last week's short putting to give you a fun game to play as you practice. If you want more practice after the Towel Drill, play the following game:
- Take nine golf balls and spread them around a practice green
- At each golf ball, select a hole to play a chip shot towards
- Go through your normal routine of selecting a club and playing the shot
- After the chip shot, take your putter and finish the hole
- Keep score - One chip and one putt counts as a par. One chip and two putts counts as a bogie. A chip-in counts for a birdie!

This monograph is intended for informational purposes only, and should not be interpreted as specific medical advice. You should consult with a qualified healthcare provider before making decisions about therapies and/or health conditions. Background Glucosamine is a compound that is naturally made in humans. It is involved in the creation of molecules that form cartilage. Evidence supports the use of glucosamine sulfate in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis. It is believed that the sulfate portion may help strengthen cartilage. If this is confirmed, it would mean that the glucosamine sulfate form is more effective than glucosamine without sulfate. Glucosamine is often taken together with chondroitin, which comes from cartilage. The use of integrative therapies like glucosamine is often seen in people with osteoarthritis. These treatments may help reduce doses of drugs such as nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory agents (NSAIDs). Glucosamine has also been studied for possible benefits on wound healing, skin conditions such as psoriasis, and the prevention of migraine. More research is needed in these areas. Research shows that glucosamine is well tolerated for up to three years. However, people who are allergic to shellfish should avoid using it. There have been concerns about the effects of glucosamine on insulin and blood sugar. However, some recent studies suggest that glucosamine may not affect these measures. This remains an area of controversy. Related terms 2-Acetamido-2-deoxyglucose, acetylglucosamine, aminoglycoside, Arth-X Plus®, Artrox®, chitosamine, chitosan, D-glucosamine, D-glucosaminic acid, enhanced glucosamine sulfate, Flexi-Factors®, GlcN, GlcN-HCl, GlcN-S, glucosamine chlorohydrate, Glucosamine Complex®, glucosamine hydrochloride, glucosamine hydroiodide, Glucosamine Mega®, glucosamine N-acetyl, glucosamine sulfate, glucosamine sulphate, glucosamine-hydrochloride, glutamate, glutathione, Joint Factors®, N-acetylated low-molecular-weight chitosan, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (NAG, N-A-G), N-acetylglucosamine, Nutri-Joint®, poly-N-acetyl glucosamine, poly-NAG, Teoremac®, Ultra Maximum Strength Glucosamine Sulfate®. Note: Move Free® Advanced (glucosamine, chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, Uniflex proprietary extract), Tradamixina (Alga Ecklonia Bicyclis, Tribulus Terrestris, D-Glucosamine, and N-Acetyl-D-Glucosamine). Dosing The below doses are based on scientific research, publications, traditional use, or expert opinion. Many herbs and supplements have not been thoroughly tested, and safety and effectiveness may not be proven. Brands may be made differently, with variable ingredients, even within the same brand. The below doses may not apply to all products. You should read product labels, and discuss doses with a qualified healthcare provider before starting therapy. Adults (18 years and older) Note: Full benefit of glucosamine may take up to one month in some people. Glucosamine hydrochloride may provide more glucosamine than the glucosamine sulfate salt form. To treat bone diseases (Kashin-Beck disease), 480 milligrams of glucosamine hydrochloride has been taken by mouth three times daily for six months, as well as 750 milligrams of glucosamine hydrochloride by mouth twice daily for six weeks. To treat circulation problems (chronic venous insufficiency), Perclar® has been taken by mouth at doses of 48 milligrams, 72 milligrams, or 96 milligrams. To treat high cholesterol, 1,500 milligrams of glucosamine, 1,527 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate (equivalent to 1,200 milligrams glucosamine), or 750 milligrams glucosamine hydrochloride (equal to 625 milligrams glucosamine) has been taken by mouth daily for up to 14 weeks. To treat knee osteoarthritis, 300-500 milligrams of glucosamine sulfate or 480 milligrams of glucosamine hydrochloride has been taken by mouth three times daily for up to 12 weeks. To treat low back pain, 1500 milligrams of glucosamine has been taken by mouth daily for six months. Additionally, 3 milliliters of glucosamine sulfate cream or 3 milliliters of glucosamine sulfate have been given through the skin via iontophoresis (using electricity to deliver the drug) or massaged into the skin for 15 minutes, three times weekly for four weeks. To treat multiple sclerosis, 1000 milligrams daily of glucosamine sulfate has been taken by mouth for six months. To treat osteoarthritis (general), 1000-2000 milligrams daily of glucosamine, glucosamine sulfate, or glucosamine hydrochloride in the form of tablets, capsules, or crystalline powder has been taken by mouth for up to 18 months. Up to 400 milligrams of glucosamine has also been injected into the joint, vein, or muscle for varying durations. To treat rheumatoid arthritis, 420 milligrams of Teoremac® has been taken by mouth daily for 14 days. Children (under 18 years old) Glucosamine is not suggested in children, due to lack of data. Research suggests that there may be a link between autism and methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), which is often marketed with glucosamine. However, there is still a lack of information. Doses of 3-6 grams of N-acetyl-glucosamine have been used to treat inflammatory bowel disease in children. Safety The U.S. Food and Drug Administration does not strictly regulate herbs and supplements. There is no guarantee of strength, purity or safety of products, and effects may vary. You should always read product labels. If you have a medical condition, or are taking other drugs, herbs, or supplements, you should speak with a qualified healthcare provider before starting a new therapy. Consult a healthcare provider immediately if you experience side effects. Allergies Allergic reactions, such as worsened asthma and swelling under the skin, have been reported with glucosamine use. Avoid in people with asthma. Avoid in people with a known allergy or sensitivity to glucosamine sulfate or its parts. Glucosamine comes from shrimp, crab, and other shellfish, and should be avoided if allergic or sensitive to shellfish or iodine. Some glucosamine from specific manufacturers (Schiff®, Weider Nutrition Group, Salt Lake City, UT; Cargill Acidulants Regenasure®, Eddyville, Iowa Falls, IA) may have low levels of shrimp allergen and may be safe for allergic people. Side Effects and Warnings Glucosamine is likely safe when taken by mouth in studied doses (500 milligrams three times daily up to 90 days or 1,500 milligrams once daily up to six months) for a short time by healthy adults. Glucosamine sulfate is likely safe when injected into the joint at recommended doses for up to six weeks (not available in the United States). Glucosamine is possibly safe when taken by mouth in recommended doses for up to three years. Doses of up to 3 grams daily and higher have been used in people with osteoarthritis. Use cautiously in women who are, or plan to become, pregnant, or are breastfeeding. Use cautiously in children under 18 years old. Drowsiness or sedation may occur. Glucosamine may also cause insomnia. Use caution if driving or operating heavy machinery. Use cautiously when taking recommended doses over a long time period or if injected into the muscle. Use cautiously if using doses higher than those recommended. Use cautiously in people with low blood platelet counts, as glucosamine may interact with antibodies. Use cautiously in people who have asthma, kidney disorders, active peptic ulcer disease, depression, skin conditions, or in people who need to restrict potassium intake. Use cautiously in people who are at risk for cataracts, or in older people who have dry eyes. Glucosamine may cause increased cataract risk or dry eyes. Use cautiously in people taking agents that increase the flow of urine. Glucosamine may increase the risk of bleeding. Caution is advised in people with bleeding disorders or taking drugs that may increase the risk of bleeding, such as vitamin K antagonists (warfarin). Dosing adjustments may be necessary. Glucosamine may affect blood pressure. Caution is advised in people with high blood pressure or heart conditions, or those taking drugs or herbs and supplements that affect blood pressure. Glucosamine may cause abnormal heart rate and palpitations. Glucosamine may affect insulin resistance and/or blood sugar levels. Caution is advised in people with diabetes or low blood sugar, and in those taking drugs, herbs, or supplements that affect blood sugar. Blood sugar levels may need to be monitored by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, and medication adjustments may be necessary. Avoid using glucosamine-chondroitin supplements that contain Chinese skullcap. Liver damage has been reported with use of the Chinese skullcap contained in the Move Free® Advanced dietary supplement. Avoid use with methylsulfonylmethane in children due to a potential link with autisim. Avoid in people with a known allergy or sensitivity to glucosamine sulfate or its parts. Glucosamine comes from shrimp, crab, and other shellfish, and should be avoided if allergic or sensitive to shellfish or iodine. Glucosamine may also cause anorexia, back or neck pain, changes in levels of creatine phosphokinase (enzyme found in heart, brain, and skeletal muscle), blood urea nitrogen, or creatine levels, constipation, coughing, diarrhea, dizziness, dry mouth, ear inflammation, a feeling of heaviness in the stomach, fluid accumulation, gas, headache, heartburn, increased blood lipids, increased growth rate of fingernails, indigestion, liver problems, muscle problems, nausea, stomach pain, toughened nails, upper abdominal tenderness, and vomiting. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding Use cautiously in women who are or plan to become pregnant, or those who are breastfeeding, due to lack of evidence. Interactions Interactions with Drugs Glucosamine may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with drugs that increase the risk of bleeding. Some examples include aspirin, anticoagulants ("blood thinners") such as vitamin K antagonists (warfarin, Coumadin®) or heparin, anti-platelet drugs such as clopidogrel (Plavix®), and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen (Motrin®, Advil®) or naproxen (Naprosyn®, Aleve®). Glucosamine may affect insulin and blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using medications that may affect blood sugar. People taking drugs for diabetes by mouth or insulin should be monitored closely by a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist. Medication adjustments may be necessary. Glucosamine may interfere with the way the body processes certain drugs using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of these drugs may be increased in the blood, and may cause increased effects or potentially serious adverse reactions. People using any medications should check the package insert, and speak with a qualified healthcare professional, including a pharmacist, about possible interactions. Glucosamine may also interact with acetaminophen; agents applied to the skin; agents eliminated by the kidneys; agents for the stomach or intestines; agents that increase sun sensitivity; agents that may increase urine flow; alcohol; anticancer agents; antidepressants; anti-hemorrhage agents; caffeine; chitosan; doxorubicin; etoposide; nicotine; nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs); pain relievers; rosiglitazone; teniposide; thiazolidinediones. Interactions with Herbs and Dietary Supplements Glucosamine may increase the risk of bleeding when taken with herbs and supplements that are believed to increase the risk of bleeding. Multiple cases of bleeding have been reported with the use of Ginkgo biloba, and fewer cases with garlic and saw palmetto. Numerous other agents may theoretically increase the risk of bleeding, although this has not been proven in most cases. Glucosamine may interfere with the way the body processes certain herbs or supplements using the liver's "cytochrome P450" enzyme system. As a result, the levels of other herbs or supplements may become too high in the blood. It may also alter the effects that other herbs or supplements possibly have on the P450 system. Glucosamine may affect insulin and blood sugar levels. Caution is advised when using herbs or supplements that may affect blood sugar. Blood glucose levels may require monitoring, and doses may need adjustment. Glucosamine may also interact with anticancer herbs and supplements; antidepressants; anti-hemorrhage herbs and supplements; antioxidants; avocado or soybean oils or extracts; bromelain; celadrin; Chinese skullcap; chondroitin sulfate; fish oil; ginger; green-lipped mussel extract; herbs and supplements applied to the skin; herbs and supplements eliminated by the kidneys; herbs and supplements for the stomach or intestines; herbs and supplements that increase sun sensitivity; herbs and supplements that may increase urine flow; Lindera aggregata; manganese; pain relievers; potassium; vitamin C.

Selig: 'Drama at its best'
By Barry M. Bloom / MLB.com
PHILADELPHIA -- In the end, after the completion of a game that spanned three days and was unrivaled in World Series history, Commissioner Bud Selig walked across the field at Citizens Bank Park and referred to the extraordinary closing act of Game 5 as "baseball drama at its best."
"It was a tough week, but it ended beautifully," said Selig after the Phillies defeated the Rays, 4-3, in the conclusion of Game 5 to win their first World Series since 1980 and only the second in the 126-season history of the franchise. "It was an interesting World Series. It had its challenges. But the last three innings here were really baseball drama at its best. All's well that ends well."Because of the inclement weather that besieged the area for days, Selig had to delay Saturday night's Game 3 start until 10:06 p.m. ET and suspend Monday night's Game 5 after the top of the sixth inning when a driving rain made the field conditions unplayable. The game that was suspended with the Phillies and Rays tied 2-2 couldn't be started again on Tuesday night because of more bad weather. Selig made the decision to resume the game at 8:37 p.m. ET on Wednesday night after studying various weather forecasts and getting reports on the ground from Major League Baseball officials. "We wouldn't have played it if there was any chance we had to stop," he said after meeting with the umpires in their dressing room prior to the game. "The cold we have to deal with. That happens when you're playing this time of year." What fans ultimately got were three innings of splendid, see-saw baseball and a Series that ended when Phillies closer Brad Lidge finished a perfect 48-for-48 season by striking out Rays pinch-hitter Eric Hinske with the tying run on second base. "It had a great ending," Selig said amidst the din of a still roaring sellout crowd. "You couldn't ask for anything more." Selig saluted both teams and had special praise for the World Series champion Phillies, who finished 11-3 this postseason and unbeaten in seven games at home. "My congratulations," he said. "The Phillies are a great organization. Dave Montgomery [the team's general partner] has just been a great force within baseball. [Chairman] Bill Giles and [general manager] Pat Gillick, we've been friends for a long time. And [manager] Charlie Manuel did a terrific job." The Rays had to get by the Yankees to win their first postseason berth and beat the Red Sox to win the American League East. As if that wasn't enough, they defeated the defending World Series champion Red Sox in a seven-game AL Championship Series (including a Game 5 loss for the ages that would have deflated an unworthy team) to win their first pennant in their 11th season. "And I also want to congratulate Tampa Bay," Selig said. "I think [the Rays] had one of the most remarkable seasons. They're going to be a team to be reckoned with for a long time. "All in all it has been a terrific season for Major League Baseball and a great postseason."
