Although a general-purpose wire or bamboo rake is fine for raking leaves and grass and cleaning up around shrubs and perennials, some unusual new rakes are designed for specific gardeners and specific fall gardening chores. After National Gardening staffers tested the rakes, some definite favorites emerged. Here are three good ones.
Adjustable Rake, made of steel and aluminum, can be adjusted for length and width. It's great for raking in tight spaces, such as between foundation plants. Sliding the metal handle back inside itself varies the length from 35 to 69 inches making it an excellent choice for very tall or short people, children, or wheelchair-bound gardeners. You can also adjust the spread of the steel tines from 7 to 22 inches. The rake's lightweight construction, slim handle, and adjustable features make it very versatile but perhaps not as strong as a regular metal leaf rake. The price is $17.
Super Rake, based on the twin-blade shaving concept, has two closely spaced but differently angled sets of sharp, flexible plastic teeth. It promises to be more efficient than a standard single-head rake. Depending on your gardening style, this rake's lightweight plastic construction and wooden handle have their pros and cons. This is the greatest rake you can own, according to one NG staffer and long-time fan, who uses hers for general cleanup and scooping up hedge and grass trimmings. Although the rake is clearly not intended for heavy chores, its super light weight and manageable 57-inch height make it effective for most lighter chores. It costs $15.
ErgoConcept Rake has made some improvements on the bent-handle ergonomic rake. Its spongy handle grip, all testers agreed, is very comfortable. Like other ergonomic rakes, it has a long, angled aluminum handle so you won't have to bend while raking. At 54 inches, it's well suited to taller gardeners. The one-piece molded lightweight plastic head comes in two widths, and while you can rake a broader swath with the 30-inch model, most testers found the 24-inch version easier to work with. The prices are $30 for the 24-inch rake and $32 for the 30-inch rake.

The deep background check into the finances of Vikings owners Zygi and Mark Wilf has made "substantial progress" over the past 48 hours, a state official said Wednesday.
But it still may not be enough to avoid a construction delay on the team's new downtown Minneapolis home.
"We don't have much time here, and I'm still concerned about the schedule," said Michele Kelm-Helgen, chairwoman of the Minnesota Sports Facilities Authority, which is overseeing development of the $975 million stadium on the Metrodome site.
After a public dispute between the authority and the team last week over access to the Wilfs' finances, the Wilfs turned over a "substantial amount" of personal information over the past two days dealing with their finances and legal affairs, Kelm-Helgen said. Representatives of both sides met into the night Tuesday and again Wednesday to comb through documents.
"They've got volumes of information there," said Lester Bagley, a team spokesman.
"We've basically gotten all the financial information that we've requested," Kelm-Helgen said. "We have complete financial information. Now we have to verify the accuracy and sort of follow the tracks."
The Wilfs' actions led to an early optimism Wednesday that the team might resume negotiations on important lease and development agreements that need to be finalized before stadium groundbreaking takes place in early November.
But Kelm-Helgen said that optimism dimmed after Vikings officials reiterated later in the day that they will not return to the negotiating table on those issues until the financial and legal review is complete.
The authority has set a deadline of Sept. 15 for finishing the audit, but Kelm-Helgen said the progress made over the past two days could shave nearly a week off that timeline.
Still, if the team doesn't resume negotiations on those agreements before then, she said, stadium construction could be delayed by at least one month, potentially costing millions.
Financial commitments
The authority launched the more thorough financial and legal background check of the Wilfs after a New Jersey judge ruled earlier this month that they had defrauded business partners in a real estate deal in that state.
The judge, who was highly critical of the Wilfs' business practices, indicated at the time that she would award compensatory and punitive damages in the case, which could cost the owners tens of millions of dollars or more. The damage awards are expected in coming weeks.
The Vikings and the Wilfs have said repeatedly, however, that despite concerns about the sum of the damage awards, their financial commitment to the project is secure. The team has committed to financing $477 million of the construction cost with the state of Minnesota and city of Minneapolis responsible for the rest.
The NFL, which will contribute a $200 million loan to the construction financing, also has consistently said that it stands behind the project. League officials restated that position in a face-to-face meeting with Kelm-Helgen at league headquarters in New York last week.
"The league is 100 percent committed," she said.
Nevertheless, the audit has been a source of tension between the authority and team since Kelm-Helgen said two weeks ago that the board planned to bill the Vikings or the Wilfs for the work, whose cost could reach six figures.
After the Vikings broke off talks on the lease and development agreements, Bagley said there was no point in negotiating until the audit was complete and the authority was confident that "we have the ability to deliver financially." He also said the audit was having an effect on team's "leverage" in those talks.
'A ton of work going on'
Tensions surfaced publicly late last week when the authority attorney leading the probe said that the Wilfs and the team had not responded to repeated requests for the personal financial information.
Officials for the team said over the weekend, however, that they planned to deliver the information this week.
"There's a ton of work going on," Bagley said. "But they have gotten the information they need. And it will show, as we've said, that regardless of how the New Jersey lawsuit is resolved, it'll have no impact and no bearing on [the Wilfs'] ability to move forward on the stadium project."
The team and authority are hoping to open the 65,000-seat stadium by July 2016.

The road to Romulus, as the recent Sulu hullabaloo proved, is paved with good intentions.
The team behind "Star Trek Beyond," which lifts off Friday, portrays Enterprise helmsman Sulu as a married gay dad, in an apparent tribute to George Takei, who has become one of the universe's most outspoken voices for LGBTQ rights in recent years. But Takei rejected the revisionist story in his own tribute to the late "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry, whom, he said, intended Sulu to be heterosexual.
Both takes add up to a larger tribute to a fantasy franchise that inspires creativity – and powerful feelings of protectiveness – even as it nears 50 years of logging stardates.
That's a shade different than the strong sense of ownership "Star Wars" fans exercise over the younger, flashier series that might never have launched, if not for "Star Trek." And it's light years away from the sexist and racist venom spewed by cowardly online trolls over the new all-women "Ghostbusters" team.
Still, movie history tells us that reboots of popular series can rouse fans to vote with their feet by flocking to theaters – or kick back in protest over any perceived sullying of the source material.
The impact of devising alternate timelines, as with the latest three "Star Trek" movie installments, can be as unpredictable as a balky phaser. The potential for casting a wide beam of creative freedom comes with the possibility of stunning – and angering – longtime fans.
J.J. Abrams, who directed the first two new "Star Trek" flicks and last year's wildly successful return of "Star Wars," found the elusive sweet spot between capturing the spirit of the originals while exploring new characters and stories. He's also adept at intergenerational casting, as evidenced not only by his "Star Wars" turn, but by Leonard Nimoy's final appearance as Mr. Spock in 2013's "Star Trek Into Darkness."
Director Justin Lin's "Star Trek Beyond" is dedicated to the Nimoy, who died last year at age 83, and to the latest Chekov, Anton Yelchin, who was fatally struck by his own runaway vehicle last month at age 27.
Any fuss over Sulu shouldn't overshadow the memories of two fine actors who spanned "Star Trek" generations.
It's unknown, of course, how the late Roddenberry would have felt about the Sulu switch. But his enduring creation shows we're all part of a big, diverse universe – and we shouldn't be afraid of what we might find, either in space or in ourselves.
Whether you roll with old-school Kirk, new-school Kirk, Piccard or Janeway doesn't matter – passionate and civilized debate has helped fuel "Star Trek" since NBC canceled the original series in 1969.
May the next 50 years bring more "Star Trek" interpretations that boldly go where no others have gone before.

A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit against the Sheriff's Department and the county over a 2008 arrest of a woman who was involved in a contentious relationship with a deputy sheriff.
A federal appeals court has reinstated a lawsuit against the Sheriff's Department and the county over a 2008 arrest of a woman who was involved in a contentious relationship with a deputy sheriff.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled last week that parts of a civil rights lawsuit filed by Michelle Cameron should be allowed to go forward. A federal judge in San Diego had dismissed the suit.
Cameron was arrested at gunpoint in her Ocean Beach apartment by a team of armed deputies wearing SWAT gear and then held in jail for five days. The reason: a complaint filed by Deputy David Buether, the father of her two children whom she had been living with since 2004, that stated she had used a credit card without his permission.
The appeals court said the case could go forward on claims that deputies used excessive force when they arrested Cameron, and that Buether and Detective Michelle Craig conspired to arrest her so that Buether could gain an advantage in a custody dispute the couple were having.
Craig and Buether attended the academy together and worked on the same shift at the Vista sheriff's station for four years. Buether testified in a deposition they responded to "hundreds" of calls together, the court said.
The court ruled that Craig could not claim legal immunity for her actions, which is normally granted to peace officers who are sued for actions done in the course of their work.
Craig and Buether still work for the Sheriff's Department, said spokeswoman Jan Caldwell.
Buether settled out of court with Cameron for a confidential amount, said her attorney, Alex Scheingross.
The two were never married, but had lived together, were co-signers on a home-equity loan and car loan, and had commingled their finances, according to court documents. Cameron's lawyers said she had used the credit card 123 times before without complaint.
In October 2008, Buether obtained an order to get Cameron removed from the San Marcos home he owned and they lived in, saying she had been abusive and violent. Five days later, living at a friend's home, Cameron used the card to purchase $9,000 worth of goods from Overstock.com.
The items were meant to set up a new home for herself and the couple's children, Scheingross said. Over the next few weeks, the deputy and Cameron tried to reconcile. Buether came to her new home and saw the purchased goods, the appeals court said, and did nothing.
But the two did not get back together. In November, Buether filed a complaint with the Sheriff's Department over the purchases. Detective Craig then obtained a search warrant, though she did not reveal the couple had commingled their finances for years, nor did she mention the custody dispute.
In her lawsuit, Cameron said Craig scheduled the raid on a day she knew, from Buether, that the two children would be with her. The appeals court said Craig had checked with Buether to find out if he would be available to pick up the children that day.
On Dec. 18, a group of deputies drove from San Marcos to Ocean Beach just after 7 a.m. and served the warrant. They entered the home with guns drawn, wearing bulletproof vests and helmets, and handcuffed Cameron. Craig then contacted Buether, who came to get the children, court records say.
He then called the custody mediator for the case to inform them of the arrest.
This story has been corrected to say the San Diego federal judge who initially ruled in the lawsuit was U.S. District Court Judge Irma Gonzalez.
Cameron argued that her arrest was unconstitutional because the search warrant was invalid because it did not provide enough probable cause. But the appeals court disagreed, affirming a ruling by U.S. District Judge Irma Gonzalez that the warrant was valid.
The appeals court, however, criticized Craig for a "significant lack of professional judgment" in omitting certain details, and said it could be seen as evidence of a "purposeful attempt" to help Buether in his custody dispute.
Gonzalez also rejected the excessive force and conspiracy claims, but the appeals court reinstated those. It said a jury should be allowed to determine if the show of force against Cameron for what the panel said was "relatively minor and nonviolent" was excessive force.
It also said Cameron should be allowed to bring her charge of a conspiracy in front of a jury.
"He just wanted to lash out at her," Scheingross said. "To us, the proof of what he was doing to gain the upper hands in the custody proceedings is he called the mediator the very day she is arrested, and he's right there ready to pick up the kids."
Senior Deputy County Counsel David Axtmann, who represented the county and Craig, said he could not comment on the ruling because the case is ongoing. Scheingross said it could go to a jury sometime in the next year.

Viva Republica Dominicana! Dominican American track phenom Félix Sánchez has made history after wining his second gold medal in the 400-meter hurdles.
Sánchez posted 47.63s on Monday evening for the Dominican Republic's first medal of the London 2012 Games. This is only the DR's third gold medal in Olympics history. Team USA's Michael Tinsley took silver and Puerto Rico's Javier Culson won the bronze.
Sánchez first won the gold in this event at Athens 2004. This year he made history as the oldest man to ever win the 400m hurdles and with a bittersweet personal story, notes LatinosPost.com.
His grandmother passed away while he was set to participate at the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. Sanchez contemplated on leaving the Beijing Games but decided to continue. Running through emotions, Sanchez would finish 22nd out of 25. "I ran terribly. I cried the whole day. I was very emotional," said Sanchez. "After that Olympics, I made a promise that I was going to win a medal for her."
Sánchez has also become an internet phenom due to the "bulging" packaging in his track singlets. A few sporno-tastic images AFTER THE JUMP ...

Pooled Oil Paintings by Matthew Davis
Berlin-based artist Matthew Davis creates these surreal images by using his brush to slowly drip oil paints into small pools. After each color dries over a period of several days a new layer is added resulting in a dense, multi-dimensional surface. The understanding and control of color that goes into this is beyond me. You can see more of his paintings and read an article about Davis in the German magazine Art (nsfw). (via this isn't happiness)

Club Med Cervinia Reviews
Another excellent Club Med trip. We travelled out at the beginner of December for a few nights to Cervinia. The staff were so hard working and enthusiastic right from start to finish. The snow conditions were excellent with Cervinia being such high altitude resort and great having the full area lift pass included into Zermatt. You can ski back to the hotel at the end of the day and a quick hotel minibus to the lifts in the morning is very efficient. The meals and evening shows/crazy signs were done to true Club Med style. You will never be hungry with the huge choice of food. A great holiday which I would definitely recommend to all different groups.

I visited Club Med Cervinia the first week of December. On arrival to the hotel the staff were extremely welcoming and enthusiastic, they took our bags straight away and got them to our rooms and showed us up to the dining room! The food was brilliant, the pasta and pizza dishes especially!! After dinner it's great to go to the bar and enjoy the entertainment and get involved if you wish, I would highly recommend the dancing! In the mornings/afternoons the shuttles to the slopes and back are very efficient, not leaving you waiting for too long at all. The skiing was awesome which was unexpected at the time of year so would recommend this snow sure resort. There is easy access to Zermatt (included in your lift pass) and seeing the Matterhorn was a great experience. All in all a fab experience and hope to return to a Club Med soon!

Transcept Pharmaceuticals Announces that a Phase 2 Clinical Trial of TO-2061 as Adjunctive Therapy for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Did Not Meet Primary Endpoin
POINT RICHMOND, Calif., Dec. 21, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Transcept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (TSPT) today announced initial top-line results from its Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating the efficacy and safety of TO-2061 (ondansetron oral tablets 0.5 mg and 0.75 mg) in patients with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) who had not adequately responded to treatment with approved first-line therapies. The data from the trial showed that TO-2061 did not meet the primary efficacy endpoint to demonstrate an improvement in OCD symptoms versus placebo.
Transcept expects to complete the remaining protocol-specified analyses in early 2013 and will make a determination on any future development of TO-2061 after further review of the data.
"It is disappointing that the Phase 2 trial of TO-2061 did not meet its primary endpoint, in particular for those patients suffering from treatment resistant OCD," said Glenn Oclassen, President and Chief Executive Officer of Transcept. "Once we have reviewed the full data set, we will determine next steps, if any, in the clinical development program for TO-2061 for the adjunctive treatment of OCD."
About the Study Design
The Phase 2 study was a double-blind, placebo-controlled trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TO-2061 in 168 OCD patients who had not adequately responded to an approved OCD medication. Patients with a documented history of at least 6 weeks of inadequate response to an approved OCD medication continued to receive that first line OCD medication during an additional 6-week run-in phase of the study. Those patients who failed to respond during the run-in phase were eligible to be randomized to the 12-week double-blind active treatment phase, during which they continued to receive their first line medication with the addition of ondansetron 0.5 mg twice per day, ondansetron 0.75 mg twice per day or placebo twice per day. The primary endpoint of the study was the difference between active and placebo treatment arms in the change from baseline as measured by the Yale-Brown Obsessive Compulsive Scale (Y-BOCS). The Y-BOCS is a ten-item clinician-administered scale used to assess the severity of obsessions and compulsions, independent of the number and type of obsessions or compulsions present.
About TO-2061
TO-2061 is an investigational drug designed as an adjunctive treatment for use with approved OCD medications. TO-2061 is a low dose formulation of ondansetron, a serotonin subtype 3 (5-HT3) receptor antagonist, that has been approved for the treatment of nausea and vomiting caused by chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and for the prevention of postsurgical nausea and vomiting. Ondansetron has an established history of clinical use as a safe and effective treatment at a typical daily dose of 16 mg to 24 mg. In the Phase 2 trial, TO-2061 was studied at total daily doses of 1 mg to 1.5 mg.

ROCKFORD — Judge Eugene Doherty won't have to reconsider a temporary restraining order to stop the Rockford Fire and Police Commission from hearing a complaint filed by the police union against Chief Chet Epperson.
The motion was withdrawn Wednesday.
Instead, Epperson's attorney, Thomas McGuire, is seeking a writ of prohibition, an order from Doherty to the commission, to cease its litigation against the chief because McGuire believes the commission does not have the authority to discipline the chief.
"You need to have power of appointment in order to have the power of discharge," McGuire said in court.
Outside the courtroom, McGuire said the mayor has the authority — not the Fire and Police Commission — to hire, discipline and, if warranted, "discharge" the chief. He also said there is a power struggle between the chief and the Rockford Police Benevolent & Protective Association Unit 6 for control of the department.
"The union has threatened me with sanctions if I proceed, and I have informed the opposing counsel that the threat has caused me to be even more vigorous in presenting my views," he said. "I wouldn't be much of an attorney if I did it the other way."
Union attorney Dan Cain was unavailable for comment after the hearing.
At issue is an October incident at the home of Lloyd Johnston, president of the NAACP's Rockford chapter, in which officers were asked to conduct a welfare check on Johnston's adult son.
Johnston refused to allow the officers into his home and called the chief while the officers were on his porch. Johnston complained about the officers' conduct and refusal to say why they were asking for access to his house.
Union President Terry Peterson said Epperson's advice to Johnston to not allow officers access and his assertion that he would send in a supervisor undermined his officers and potentially endangered Johnston's son.
Mayor Larry Morrissey has defended the chief, saying his actions defused a potentially volatile situation and led to the incident's peaceful resolution. No arrests were made.
McGuire and Cain will present their respective cases at 10:30 a.m. Aug. 13 to Doherty on who they believe has the authority to discipline the chief.
Epperson has a scheduled Aug. 25 hearing with the Fire and Police Commission.

While the Tokyo Auto Salon generally takes a back seat to its bigger brother the Tokyo Auto Show, the custom car show fails to disappoint year in and year out. We already got a chance to see an oddly modified Toyota Prius; our next custom car up for show is the beautifully sleek TES-ERA EV.
The TES-ERA EV is the culmination of work done by the Toyota Engineering Society. This volunteer organization consists mainly of engineers of Toyota, and was created to promote and foster new ideas and technology, while also sharpening the skills of its members. According to Toyota, there are over 30,000 members worldwide.
We happen to have taken a liking to this sporty little custom coupe, although we are not so sure how we feel about the random constellations sprinkled about the car's body. The form factor however is certainly unique with its smooth rounded framework, aggressive angle "V" grill, and an underlying height-adjustable double-wishbone suspension for both the front and rear.
The TES-ERA EV features fiberglass bodywork and is powered by a 5.7 kWh lithium-ion battery, which outputs electricity to a 4JM electric motor. Power output measures in at 164 horsepower and 247lb-ft of torque.
Inside the car we find a customizable tablet PC serving as the cars instrument panel, it also houses rear and side view camera system. When breaking, the TES-ERA EV utilizes a KERS system for recharging the batteries (similar to that found in a Toyota Prius) and can also plug into a charging socket.
Of course it being a custom car, chances are slim it will ever be up for grabs, but it's certainly pleasing to see that Toyota is harvesting and promoting such creative talent amidst its ranks – at least enough to bring us this particular automotive treat.
Editors' Recommendations
- Toyota points out demand for electric vehicles hasn't picked up yet
- The best cars for 2019
- The best commuter cars for 2019

When I first heard about Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters, a movie about a grown-up Hansel and Gretel who go around shooting witches, from Will Ferrell's production company and the director of Nazi zombie movie Død Snø (Tommy Wirkola), I thought it sounded like a perfect parody of the "dark fairy tale" trend – see Abraham Lincoln Vampire Hunter, The Raven, et al. Hell, it was so accurate a parody, Michael Bay's production company announced plans for a dark Hansel and Gretel movie around the same time. Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters stars Jeremy Renner and Gemma Arterton, and was originally scheduled for release March, 2012, which has since been pushed to January 25th, 2013. The red-band trailer is below, and my parody assumption may have just been wishful thinking, because it seems schlocky, but mostly pretty straightforward.
Hollywood has a way of turning parody into non-parody. You tell a studio you want to make a take-off of the body-swap comedy, and they say "Perfect, we love body-swap comedies!" and you say yes before you realize that they didn't get the joke at all (this is my running theory on how The Change-Up got made, by the way).
Then again, Tommy Wirkola is Norwegian, so maybe the joke is just too subtle to come through in the trailer. Sometimes Norwegians make jokes that are super funny, but so dry that you don't get it until long after they're dead.

Systems Engineering Processes Are . . .
MaureenMonte 270005AQ9B Comments (3) Visits (10805)
Systems Engineering Processes are…
Crazy difficult! Why? So many people, so little time! So much regulation, so little control! So many teams, so little communication!
Systems Engineering Processes are hard to define, and even harder to put in to practice. Many companies use tools like Excel, Visio, and Word to "model" the process. They put it on the wall. They put them in books. And they hope someone follows it. Process enactment can be a bigger challenge than process modeling.
In this increasing complex world where software is becoming more prevalent in our product development, the demands upon systems engineering processes are many. Expertise, creativity, timing, diversity of challenges – all are components of process trials and tribulations in systems engineering. These factors can increase costs and time to market if not managed properly. And being out of compliance is another problem altogether.
Because this landscape is so difficult, we've partnered with Method Park, one of our Rational Ecosystem strategic partners. They've created a process management solution called Stages that integrates with Rational Team Concert. Stages models, RTC enacts. The blend of expertise from Method Park with the power of RTC helps process managers know that the processes they've created comply with industry standards, company standards, and are readily implemented in practice.
We'd like to start a process-focused dialogue in this forum. Tools matter, but process management is equally critical on the path to a successful product design and launch. What do you think? What process challenges do you face in your software and systems engineering product development environment? My friend Duncan Seidler of Method Park will help me engage with you on this topic! :-) Come talk with us!
Method Park is the creator of Stages, an industry-leading process management tool in the systems environment. The Stages and RTC integration combines the process management of Stages with the application lifecycle management capabilities of RTC. Together Stages and RTC ensure efficient compliance with industry standards and best practices, such as CMMI, Automotive SPICE, ISO; 26262, IEC 62304, DO-178/254. Create an environment to define, manage and execute software engineering; processes across product development with a solid framework for process improvement. Questions? email Duncan at dunc

Outdoor tourism at Spain's mines
Almadén Mining Park (Ciudad Real)
Here we suggest an original way to visit Spain. Discover the inside of the earth by exploring our mining valleys. You can see the inside of the mines, visit the extraction tunnels in mine carts, and you will be amazed by the contrasting colours to be found. An original idea that combines traditional culture, nature, sport and entertainment.
Spain always has a pleasant surprise in store for you. Here we suggest an original journey to places that maintain their mining spirit. This is a way of life you can discover with a visit to the inside of the earth in Spain's mining valleys. You can now explore silver and magnetite mines; see how miners work, first hand; witness the amazing contrast and beauty of landscapes where the earth opens up to the sky. Here are a few ideas.
Mining parks open to the public
Can you imagine the earth 700 metres beneath your feet? You can find out what it is like at the Almadén Mining Park, in the province of Ciudad Real, Castile–La Mancha Region. The park contains a mine with chambers reaching this depth. On your visit you can explore the first level of the gallery, access extraction wells and discover the techniques used by miners to obtain mercury. The site also has a visitor centre, the Mercury Museum and various workshops.
In Teruel, Region of Aragón, don't miss the Escucha Mining Museum, designed to make you feel like a miner for a day. The Museum aims to turn your trip into a mining adventure, and there are several special programmes aimed specifically at children. Activities available include quad biking routes in the mining valley, a 200 metre descent into the gallery in a mine cart and a visit to a power station. In the same Region, but now in the province of Huesca, there is a geological/mining circuit in Sobrarbe, where iron and silver were extracted until the 20th century.
Routes to villages and mine locations
Exploring Spain's mining areas will take you to stunning villages and natural locations. Asturias is a Region in northern Spain that has always been one of its main mining areas. There you can visit the Bustiello Mining Town, which has interesting architecture, created by workers from the Bustiello coal mining community. In the same Region you will find the Mining and Industry Museum (MUMI), one of the most important of its type. If you would prefer to discover mines out in the countryside, then we would recommend the coal route by bike in the Candín Valley, or the Jovellanos mining route, with a 23-kilometre circular itinerary taking in the main mining valleys in Asturias. Before you plan your trip, you should check the details of these routes with the tourist offices in the Region.
You can still see the mark left by mining in León, Castile-León Region, with a unique landscape in the world which has the UNESCO World Heritage designation: las Médulas. This is an ancient mine from the Roman Empire, with several routes you can do to explore it, either on foot, by bike or on horseback.
In southern Spain you can feel what it would be like to be a miner too. In Andalusia, the main attractions of this type are to be found in the province of Huelva, especially in the Riotinto mining area. Many people liken it to the planet Mars on account of its impressive polychromatic landscape. If you want to get to know everything about these mines, then visit the Riotinto Mining Museum.
Besides these suggestions, there are others you will soon be able to enjoy in Spain. The Regions of Andalusia, Castile-León and Galicia are currently working to recover old mines. For the moment, we would recommend open-air tourism with the mines suggested here. You are sure to come back to Spain later to discover the new ones.

Back in 1986, my friends found me unconscious in my bedroom. They brought me to the ER, and a few days later I was told that I had AIDS. Because I didn't have insurance or speak fluent English, they told me to go to Cook County Hospital for follow-up care. But it was a hassle -- I had to take a train and a bus, and then wait in long lines. Sometimes I spent the whole day just getting blood tests and meds. And there weren't really any Spanishspeaking doctors there. They were mostly Filipino or from India and spoke very little Spanish. I appreciated their attempt to communicate, but they didn't understand cultural things. They would tell me not to eat too much salt with my tacos -- but I was Mexican, not Puerto Rican, so I rarely ate tacos. When I felt better, I stopped taking my meds and I stopped going to the doctor.
A couple of years later, I ended up back in the same ER. By that time, I had learned more English, for my work. I don't think that my spoken English was the best, but I understood almost 100% of what people said to me. Luckily, a friend told me about a clinic for gay men near me. I couldn't believe I had been sent so many miles away when there was a clinic within walking distance! I've had many friends who were also sent all the way across town to Cook County just because their English wasn't perfect. Travelling for so long is just as much a barrier to care as language is.
The doctor at the gay clinic was very meticulous and asked many questions about my medications and exactly how I took them. So I told him that I crushed them up, poured them into a hot bath, and soaked in them every day for a couple of weeks before I started taking them orally, so they would work better.
He got very angry and even began to yell at me. He sent me to a psychiatrist and a learning specialist. The psychiatrist didn't find anything wrong. But every time I went back to see this doctor, he always seemed angry with me and didn't spent much time explaining anything -- just ordering blood tests and giving me my prescriptions for the next three months. And he would ask the same question every time, very slowly: "Aarre ... yoouu ... taking yourrrr ... me-di-caaaaa-tions?" I'd always say yes, because I was.
Maybe he thought that I didn't understand him, or maybe he just thought I was stupid. Actually, it was harder to understand him when he spoke like that, and I had to really pay attention. It was funny but I found myself also responding very slowly. And whenever I would have to change doctors, the new doctor would also speak to me veerryy sloowwly.
Years later, a Spanish-speaking case manager began to work at the clinic, and he asked me about any learning disabilities or developmental difficulties I might have. He also asked about my educational level. I asked why he was asking all these questions, and he mentioned that the medical notes from every doctor at the clinic stated the same thing: "suspected mild mental retardation," "suspected psychiatric disorders," "suspected learning disabilities," etc. All this had begun with my first doctor and been copied throughout my medical history with each new doctor.
But no one had ever asked me why I soaked in the tub with my meds. It's what we always did back home -- my grandmother and mother did the same thing. They said the body would absorb the medications better if you soaked in them first. I have many friends who practice Santeria, and when they take herbs, they soak in them first. My family had done this back when we couldn't afford meds. We would get a few herbs together and would either soak in them or have them as teas. I've always done that and it's always given me great results. I've never had side effects from my HIV meds, and I believe it's because I soak in them first. My friends complained of vomiting, nausea, lack of appetite, etc., but I never had any of that.
He said I was into "witch medicine" -- as he referred to Santeria. He even asked me if I cut chickens' heads off in religious ceremonies.
But instead of asking me why I soaked with my meds, that first doctor just said I was into what he called "witch medicine" -- as he referred to Santeria. He even made fun of me by asking me if I cut chickens' heads off in religious ceremonies. I told him I was Catholic and that we didn't do that in the church. And that was that.
It wasn't until that new case manager came and asked about my beliefs and my customs that the medical notes changed. In fact, he made sure that when I changed medications again, I had enough to start taking them orally and to soak in. He suggested I try not to wait as long before I started taking them orally, because the doctors wanted to see how well they were working as soon as possible. So I began soaking in them for only a week, and by the second week I was taking them orally. My case manager spoke to my new doctors and they never put anything related to mental retardation into my medical history.
I think my culture has been a barrier to my care. I've had friends who began new treatments sooner than me and did better. It angers me that I might have been denied new treatments because the doctors thought they would be wasting them on someone who wasn't taking them properly. Once I told that first doctor that I soaked in my medications, he just categorized me as mentally retarded and never bothered to listen to the rest of my story. I think many Puerto Ricans in my age group soak in their meds, and a doctor should know this and not be so judgmental about cultural beliefs. I know I will never stop soaking in new meds because it works for me.
They should have listened better, instead of sending me off to psychiatrists and learning disability counselors. Having a translator or someone who understood my culture also would have helped. Imagine being categorized as mentally retarded because of your beliefs or language limitations! Now I understand why the doctors spoke to me so slowly. It wasn't my language -- they just thought I was stupid. I felt like I was being spoken to like a child, as if I was dumb and didn't understand much of anything.
Now, if I think my culture or beliefs might have an impact on my services, I speak up, to educate service providers. I have to let them know that I know how to take medications so I'm not given fewer treatment options. And I educate friends who have just tested positive about their own rights.
But when I have to see a specialist who doesn't speak Spanish, I find it annoying if they speak to me so slooowwly. I want to say to them, "Just because I don't speak English perfectly and have an accent, it doesn't mean I'm dumb." I see the same issues with others who don't speak English well -- they continue to be given fewer options or are sent to faraway places that make it hard to access services. Now, when I hear about an injustice like this I make sure I speak up.

CHICAGO, April 29 (UPI) -- The Chicago nightlife crooner who inspired comedian Bill Murray's Nick the Lounge Singer character on "Saturday Night Live" has died at 75, his family said.
Jimmy Damon died of cardiac amyloidosis, a rare heart disease, on his 75th birthday Saturday, his wife, Marilyn Damon, told the Chicago Tribune.
He had been living at Chicago's Rush University Medical Center's Horizon Hospice and Palliative Care.
Damon -- born Jimmy Demopoulos in Memphis, Tenn. -- was a fixture at Chicago nightclubs, concert halls, charity events and award presentations for four decades.
He sometimes sang the national anthem at Wrigley Field, home of baseball's Chicago Cubs, and was the opening act for big-time comedians, including George Burns and Bob Newhart, his daughter, Dana Damon-Trentadue, told the Chicago Sun-Times.
The street outside the Chicago condo he called home for decades is now called Jimmy Damon Way.
"I sing as though there's 100,000 people in front of me," Damon told the Sun-Times in 1999.
"That's what I'm about," he said. "If there's just one person in the room, that might be the right person. You came to hear me sing, you're going to get it, babes. I don't hold back."
This tendency could make him slightly overbearing in the 1970s, early in his Chicago career, Damon acknowledged to the Tribune.
"I was still learning how to be an entertainer, how to connect with an audience, how to put things together," he told the newspaper in 1998. "In those days, I was the lounge lizard that was becoming Jimmy Damon."
It was in the early 1970s that Murray caught Damon's lounge-lizard act at a now-defunct Chicago club, Damon and many others said. Murray was part of the Second City improvisational theater troupe at the time.
Damon's act was the inspiration for Nick the Lounge Singer, one of Murray's most popular recurring characters during his late 1970s three-year "Saturday Night Live" tenure.
The character sang current songs in a drawn-out, schmaltzy manner.
Nick always had a different "seasonal" last name, such as Summers or Springs, and would always sing his heart out, even at unfortunate gigs such as airport bars and dives.
Damon told the Tribune he didn't mind that Murray spoofed him.
"I wasn't upset," he said in the interview. "I just wish he'd sent me a check. He owes me a lot of money."
Damon -- who wore tight leather pants and an open-chested shirt beneath a leather jacket with fringe and rhinestones when Murray saw him -- later wore a tuxedo.
"But he always kept his cowboy boots," Damon-Trentadue told the Sun-Times.

Simon Cowell used the coveted Golden Buzzer on "America's Got Talent" and it wasn't just for any ordinary contestant.
The judge and executive producer sent 16-year-old Calysta Bevier, a cancer survivor, through to the live rounds.
Bevier said her dream was to win "America's Got Talent" and auditioned with a tearful rendition of Rachel Platten's "Fight Song." After judge Howie Mandel complimented her "Audrey Hepburn-y" look, Bevier revealed it wasn't by choice.
U.S. & World
"My hair wasn't really my choice. I'm a survivor of stage-three ovarian cancer. I kind of came here today to show people that no matter what you've gone through to keep chasing your dreams," she said.
Bevier received a standing ovation from the audience as well as the panel. Mandel thanked her for her heartfelt song choice and performance.
"It was amazing," Mel B. said. "It couldn't have gone any better for you."
But the highest praise came from Cowell.
"I love everything about you," he said. "You know what? I just had this feeling when you walked out, I can't explain it. Your spirit, the choice of song, your voice, I think you're really special. I've just got this really incredible feeling about you, I really do. I think everyone in this room felt it. I predict great things are going to happen for you."
Then he hit the Golden Buzzer and sent Bevier through the auditioning rounds to the live shows.

Abdominal aortic aneurysms can be found during an ultrasound screening test. Screening
tests help your doctor look for a certain disease or condition before any
symptoms appear.
Your doctor may recommend a screening test if you are a man
who is:
Some doctors think that other groups should be screened too. Some say all men 65 years and older should be screened, regardless of their risk. Some say men as young as 50 should be screened if they have a family history. Some say women age 65 and older should be screened if they have ever smoked or have a family history of AAA. Some say women should not be screened at all.
Talk to your doctor about whether the benefits of screening would outweigh the risks in your case. For more information, see:
who have
Marfan's syndrome,
Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, or another condition that puts
them at risk may benefit from screening.

Brief Synopsis
A U.S. agent recruits a German expatriate to infiltrate a Nazi spy ring in Brazil.
After her Nazi father is convicted of treason by a Miami, Florida jury, German-born Alicia Huberman tries to forget her pain by throwing a loud party and flirting with uninvited guest T. R. Devlin. Late that evening, an intoxicated Alicia takes Devlin on a drive and is stopped for speeding by a motorcycle officer. When Devlin flashes his official credentials, however, the officer allows Alicia to go without a ticket. Alicia, who has been hounded by reporters and police, is infuriated at Devlin and denounces him as a double-crossing "cop." Although Devlin disapproves of Alicia's self-destructive, promiscuous life style, he is confident of her patriotic feelings toward America, having heard secretly recorded comments she has made, and offers her a job infiltrating a Nazi industrial combine in Brazil. The embittered Alicia at first rejects Devlin's offer, but eventually agrees to accompany him to Rio de Janeiro. While waiting for her assignment, Alicia enjoys a romantic, carefree week in Rio and proudly tells Devlin she is a changed woman. Devlin is skeptical about her reformation, but nonetheless finds himself falling in love with her. The couple's newfound bliss is shortlived, however, as Devlin's boss, Paul Prescott, informs him that Alicia's assignment is to woo her former suitor, German-born Alexander Sebastian, and determine what his war machine combine is manufacturing. Although Alicia is conflicted, Devlin refuses to tell her what to do, and believing that he doesn't truly love her, she accepts the assignment. Devlin, in turn, views Alicia's acceptance as proof of her fickleness. As pre-arranged, Alicia encounters Alex while riding in a park and encourages him to pursue her. At a dinner party at Alex's home, Alicia notices one of the guests, Emil Hupka, gesture nervously at a wine bottle sitting on a mantle. Later, Alex and his other male guests discuss Hupka's improper dinner behavior and agree that he must be eliminated, a job the sinister Eric Mathis eagerly assumes. Soon after, Alicia reports to Devlin, who is posing as a public relations representative, at a Rio racetrack and tells him with sarcasm that the lovestruck Alex is her new "playmate." Devlin reacts to the remark with disgust, but easily plays the part of Alicia's rejected lover in front of Alex. When a jealous Alex then questions Alicia about Devlin, she reassures him that the handsome American "means nothing" to her. A short time later, Alicia pays an unexpected call on Prescott and Devlin and informs them that Alex has proposed to her. Although stunned by the news, Devlin once again refuses to interfere, and a heartbroken Alicia agrees to the marriage. After a brief honeymoon, the newlyweds return to Alex's house, where his domineering mother Anna views her new daughter-in-law with jealous disdain. Alicia immediately inspects the layout of the house and learns from butler Joseph that only Alex has the key to the house's large wine cellar. Some days later, Devlin instructs Alicia to throw a party and secure the key long enough for him to investigate the wine cellar. Before the party, Alicia sneaks the wine cellar key off Alex's key ring and later passes it to Devlin. Alicia then slips away from Alex's watchful eye and accompanies Devlin to the cellar, where they discover that one of the bottles contains not wine, but a mineral substance. When Devlin accidentally drops the bottle, Alicia quickly drains a similar bottle and helps him pour the spilled contents into it. As they are leaving the cellar, Alex approaches with Joseph, and Devlin kisses Alicia to distract him. Although Alex falls for the ruse at first, he soon notices that his cellar key is missing. Early the next morning, after he finds the key back on his ring and discovers that the bottle has been tampered with, he deduces Alicia's true mission and informs his mother. The quick thinking Anna declares that to keep Alex's slip from their ruthless group, they must slowly poison Alicia. Over the next few weeks, Alicia grows sicker from Anna's poison, which is placed in Alicia's coffee. At their next meeting, Prescott informs Alicia that the mineral substance is uranium and asks her to find out where the group is mining it. He also tells Alicia that Devlin has requested a transfer, a fact Devlin denies when he next meets with her. Instead, Devlin questions Alicia about her obvious illness and believes her when she claims she has a hangover. Later, however, when she fails to show up for their next meeting, Devlin realizes that Alicia was really ill. Alicia, in turn, deduces what Alex and Anna are doing to her, as well as the location of the mine, but is now too weak to escape. With Prescott's backing, Devlin goes to Alex's house to rescue Alicia, confident that the Nazi will not try to stop him in front of the group. Although sedated, Alicia is overjoyed to see Devlin, and they confess their love for each other. As Devlin carries Alicia to his car, a helpless Alex announces to his suspicious comrades that he is taking Alicia to the hospital. When Devlin calmly refuses to allow Alex in the car, however, the Nazi's blunder is revealed, and his fate, sealed.

Columbia University Libraries Hosts Two-Day Conference on Tibetan Studies
(NEW YORK, February 19, 2009) On February 6-7, Columbia University's C. V. Starr East Asian Library hosted a conference entitled "Tibetan Studies and the Social Sciences: Data, Tools, Maps and Archives." Over 70 scholars, library professionals and students from North America and Europe attended the two-day event.
The C. V. Starr East Asian Library holds more than 15,000 volumes of Tibetan-language materials, in addition to a rich collection of related materials in Chinese and Western languages. Tibetan Studies Librarian Dr. Lauran Hartley organized the conference with the aim of "expanding the range of research projects undertaken on Himalayan areas" and to "highlight the variety and depth of library and other resources in New York City, which now provides a rich nexus of Tibet-related institutions, cultural and educational opportunities, as well as resources for academic research."
The conference featured a panel discussion and five presentations on Friday followed the next morning by a hands-on workshop to explore the databases, software, and other resources discussed by the speakers. At a catered lunch on Saturday, Dr. Robert Barnett of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute and CU alumni Dr. Paul Hackett offered a preview of rare and newly acquired acquisitions at the C.V. Starr East Asian Library, including the Tibet Information Network archives and the digitization in e-book format of Columbia University's holdings of the rare Tibet Mirror newspaper, which was published in Kalimpong, India from 1925 to 1963.
On Saturday afternoon, attendees traveled downtown for a tour and overview of education and development resources at the Trace Foundation's Latse Contemporary Tibetan Cultural Library in Greenwich Village. The weekend closed with a reception at the Rubin Museum of Art, and guided tour of the new "Patron and Painter" exhibition.
The conference was sponsored by the Shelley & Donald Rubin Foundation to support the exploration of Himalayan Studies by undergraduate students.
A digital archive of Friday's presentations will soon be posted to the Columbia Online Research Guide for Modern Tibetan Studies, a project of Professor Gray Tuttle and the C.V. Starr East Asian Library. The guide is available now at www.columbia.edu/cu/lweb/indiv/eastasian/Tibetan/index.html.
A $400 Undergraduate Research Prize was also announced. This is to be awarded in July 2009 to an outstanding paper that uses resources, methods, and tools discussed at the conference. Submissions may be forwarded to the C.V. Starr East Asian Library this spring, and will be evaluated for originality, source material, methodology, and overall excellence. Students who did not attend the conference should view the proceedings and related bibliographies online.

Which July 2014 New Album Release Are You Most Excited For? – Readers Pollby Michelle McGahan | PopCrush
The temperature is rising, and the music's getting even hotter! As we head into July 2014, some of our favorite artists are treating us to brand-new albums — and we can't wait to hear them. 5 Seconds of Summer, Robin Thicke, Magic!, Sia and Jason Mraz are all coming out with records this July. Which one are you looking forward to the most?
5 Seconds of Summer are gearing up for the U.S. release of their debut eponymous album, and to put it bluntly: We can't freaking wait. '5 Seconds of Summer' (the album, that is) features such gems as 'She Looks So Perfect,' 'Don't Stop,' and our brand-new favorite, 'Amnesia.' 5 Seconds of Summer's music was made to be played during those hot days (hello, just look at their name!) and we can't wait to crank this one at full volume.
Robin Thicke has been pouring it on pretty darn "thicke" in order to win back his estranged wife, Paula Patton — and his upcoming album, 'Paula,' is chock-full of his heartfelt emotions, which you can clearly hear in the record's first single 'Get Her Back.' 'Paula' promises to be nothing short of raw and real, and we can't wait to hear it.
Magic! have been tearing up the radio airwaves with their infectious smash hit, 'Rude,' so there's no doubt that their debut album, 'Don't Kill the Magic,' will continue with their funky, reggae-licious sound. The band visited the PopCrush studio to play some of their new tracks, and let us tell you: The guys can totally rock it live.
Sia has collaborated with dozens of artists, but now she's back with her own solo album, '1000 Forms of Fear.' And with the record's lead single 'Chandelier' getting some serious buzz, you know that the strong vocalist will pack a serious punch with this one.
Jason Mraz is taking his positive and upbeat attitude to his new album, 'Yes!,' which will offer an intimate, acoustic look at his brand-new tracks. Of course, the 'I'm Yours' singer is always a fan favorite, and we can't wait to see what 'Yes!' has in store.
Which July 2014 new album release are you looking forward to the most? Cast your vote below until the poll closes at 11:59 PM ET on June 30!
