Hi guys,
Does anyone have a good resource for snow kite races in US or Canada this season? Been doing some searching, but can't seem to find anything for 2013?
Is there going to be a Coupe du Qubec this year?

Dad: US municipal shooting suspect gave warnings
A man charged with killing three people at a Pennsylvania municipal meeting because of a feud over his junk-strewn property had given plenty of warning that he intended to kill people, his father said Wednesday.
Rockne Newell told his father and others that he planned to kill officials in rural Ross Township, saying he had nothing left to lose because he'd already been forced off the land, said the father, Pete Newell.
"He said, 'My life's over, Dad. I just got to stop them from doing it to anyone else, and I'm going to take care of it so they're not around to do it to anybody else,'" Pete Newell, 78, said in a phone interview.
The father said that when he told his son "it wasn't worth killing someone over," Rockne replied, "I've got to do what I've got to do."
Authorities said Rockne Newell, 59, packed a rental car with guns and ammunition before opening fire at a township meeting Monday night and killing three men, including the zoning officer and two residents.
Newell had lost his property last month in a court fight with the township over longstanding complaints that he lived in a storage shed, built an illegal culvert and used a bucket outside as a toilet.
"Normally, he wouldn't harm anybody. But they just drove him nuts. They took the only thing he had in his life away from him," his father said.
When deputies tried to serve Rockne Newell with documents informing him the property would be sold at a sheriff's sale, Pete Newell said he warned them that his son had been making threats, saying: "I'm telling you one thing, people are going to die over this."
Sheriff Todd Martin said his deputies took the threat to be against the sheriff's department itself, not against others.
He said his department had a long history with the suspect, adding that Newell could be volatile — outraged one moment, calm the next.
"We've known Rocky Newell for many, many years, and he's made many, many threats," Martin said. "Rocky's always been that way. Rocky's always one who believed in his property and believed in his ideals and told everyone the government was out to get him. This thing has brewed for many, years, and I believe it escalated to the point where he took matters in his own hands."
Rockne Newell had been living on disability payments from an auto accident. His fight with the township was the subject of several newspaper articles over the years.
"He can't take orders. The more they hounded about him having trash around, the more he hauled home," his father said.
The alleged gunman faces a preliminary hearing Aug. 19. He has not entered a plea.

Indonesia's surprise decision to hike interest rates on Thursday - becoming the first Asian central bank to do so since 2011 - was a pre-emptive move against inflation as the local currency weakens, said the deputy governor of the country's central bank.
"The decision to raise the interest rate was because we see inflationary pressure rising recently and with that, it is proper for us to pre-emptively address inflation by raising our policy rate by 25 basis points," Perry Warjiyo, Deputy Governor Bank Indonesia told CNBC Asia's "The Call" on Friday.

Indonesia Surprises With a 0.25% Rate Hike
According to the central bank, inflation could spike to close to 8 percent this year from the current 5.47 percent. Plus a depreciating currency, the rupiah, which fell to a four-year low this week to less than 10,000 against the dollar, adds to inflationary pressures.
The hike puts Indonesia's benchmark interest rate at 6 percent and followed a series of measures this week like a pledge to supply U.S. dollars and buy government bonds to support the rupiah, which is under pressure like other emerging market currencies.

Wild Swings? Emerging Currencies Have It Worst
Jitters that the U.S. Federal Reserve will start to unwind monetary stimulus for the U.S. economy soon has dealt a blow to emerging market assets, including currencies, bonds and equities and central banks have intervened to lessen the impact of outflows.
Warjiyo said that the latest decision to hike rates was further reinforcement of the bank's commitment to contain the depreciating rupiah.
While Citi Research expects two more 25 basis point hikes by Bank Indonesia in July and August, Robert Prior-Wandesforde, director of Asia economics at Credit Suisse, thinks future action by the central bank depends on whether the currency settles down.
(Read More: Look! Hot Money Is Fast Exiting Emerging Stocks)
"[The currency's movement] hinges partly on factors outside of the central bank's control - for example what happens in the U.S.," Prior-Wandesforde said in a note.

Michael Owen's decision to retire was perhaps the correct one given his spate of injuries and recent lack of game time.
The former Liverpool, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Manchester United and current Stoke City star has enjoyed a fantastic career at both club and international level.
It's important we look back on his career and celebrate his achievements rather than think what could have been if injuries had not affected him so much. By looking at the negatives we are not celebrating the undoubted positives that his career has had.
Owen, as an England player, is best remembered for his goal against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup and his hat-trick against Germany in Munich. At club level, Owen has scored countless goals with a very impressive goals per game ratio, particularly for Liverpool where he enjoyed the best of his career.
From scoring in el Clasico to popping up with the winner in the Manchester derby, Owen has had some incredible highs on the football pitch.
During his illustrious career Owen has won countless awards and broken numerous records.
The most coveted award has to be the Ballon d'Or in 2001 after helping Liverpool complete the unique treble of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup. He is one of only seven players to have scored 150 Premier League goals and is the youngest player to have reached 100 Premier League goals.
Internationally Owen holds the record of scoring 26 competitive goals for England and overall has 40 goals in 89 appearances. If Owen had not been blighted by injury then he would have surely broken the national record of goals and probably appearances.
What is often forgotten about Owen is how he conducts his personal life. He has invested his vast earnings wisely in both horses and housing. He does not waste his wealth and is a role model for all youngsters to look up to. This is just as important as all the trophies and personal accolades he has achieved.
All in all Michael Owen is one of England's greatest players and will be remembered as such. Yes, injuries have been an issue throughout his career but we shouldn't dwell on them and instead focus on the positive memories that Owen's legacy will leave for us all. We will all have our own favourite.

The MPEG-LA is not new to empty threats - the company, led by Larry Horn, a known patent troll, has been making claims about Theora for almost a decade, but never actually backed up said claims. This was probably because as an open source standard with relatively little adoption, no money was to be had from launching a patent lawsuit.
With Google purchasing and releasing VP8 as open source, including a non-revocable unlimited patent license, there's suddenly money to be had from On2's technologies. Larry Horn, vulture that he is, is now smelling money, and as such, has started the process of forming a patent pool around VP8. There's no way of proving it, of course, but it wouldn't surprise me if Horn has made a few trips to Cupertino and Redmond as well.
This process has now yielded results, but it appears the process is far, far from complete. Horn claims 12 companies have stepped up claiming they own patents essential to VP8, but in true FUD-fashion, Horn refuses to name the patents or companies in question - thus preventing the web from investigating this whole thing.
This reluctance indicates Horn isn't particularly certain about the strengths of these twelve companies' patents, since if he was, he'd be shouting it off the rooftops. It could also mean that these companies are uncertain about their chances against fighting Google in court, and thus, want to keep the patents secret so they may patent troll the heck out of a smaller company implementing VP8. It's also interesting that it took the MPEG-LA four months after the deadline before they announced this news.
Google has already responded to this news, but it's a fairly default response. "MPEG LA has alluded to a VP8 pool since WebM launched - this is nothing new," a Google spokesperson told streamingmedia.com, "The web succeeds with open, community-developed innovation, and the WebM Project brings the same principles to web video. The vast majority of the industry supports free and open development, which is why we formed the WebM CCL enabling member organizations to license patents they may have that are essential to WebM technologies to other members of the CCL. We are firmly committed to the project and establishing an open codec for HTML5 video."
The WebM CCL already contains some industry heavyweights (like, but not limited to, AMD, Samsung, Texas Instruments), and the list of companies supporting WebM is immense, and includes just about every chip maker except Intel. This is a formidable group to take on in any legal fight.

When producing any roster of Major League Baseball's best, some deserving player is inevitably left out. So it has been since the All-Star Game was first played in 1933, and so it will be as long as the game is played. This trio of players who missed out on Sunday's All-Star announcements can at least take solace in the fact that they are not the first to be unjustly left out of the festivities.
2014 Snub: Kyle Seager
Historical Comparison: Pete Ward, 1964
Kyle Seager is enjoying a breakout year for the second season in a row. After proving he could be a reliable starter at third base with a .260/.338/.426 line in 2013, Seager has fully broken out in 2014. He owns a .278/.351/.489 slash line, with all three representing career highs. He has also taken full advantage of new teammate Robinson Cano's .320 batting average, as Seager has knocked in Cano 16 times en route to 59 total RBI. It's hard to argue he belongs over Adrian Beltre or Josh Donaldson, but Seager deserved a spot over one of the three American League first basemen selected.
Seager is a 26-year-old who has steadily improved throughout his career, and the typical assumption with players like him is that their time will come with patience. It's a nice sentiment, but consider his fellow third baseman Pete Ward, one of the best players to ever come out of Canada. As a 26-year-old in 1964, Ward hit .282/.348/.473 with 23 home runs for the White Sox to follow up a 22-homer rookie year the previous season. But Ward was left off the All-Star team for 34-year-old Red Sox third baseman Frank Malzone, who had just a .740 OPS at the break but had the clout of five previous All-Star appearances on his side.
The next year, Ward suffered neck and back injuries in a car accident and was never quite the same player. His best post-injury season came in 1967, when he hit .233/.334/.392 (120 OPS+), but after two top-10 MVP finishes in his first two full seasons, Ward never received an MVP vote again. Seager is primed for a long career with plenty of opportunity for recognition. But things can change for a major leaguer in an instant, and Ward serves as proof the future can't be assumed.
2014 Snub: Chris Sale
Historical Comparison: Greg Maddux, 1993
Maddux rode a brilliant second half (1.79 ERA, 84 strikeouts to 20 walks in 16 starts) to the Cy Young award in 1993. His first half (2.83 ERA, 113 strikeouts to 32 walks in 20 starts) was All-Star quality, but with teammates Steve Avery, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz all on the roster and a number of NL teams sending only a single starting pitcher, Maddux found himself the odd man out. Like Sale, Maddux already had two All-Star games under his belt. Maddux went on to make five straight All-Star appearances after the 1993 snub.
Sale is part of the American League Final Vote with a number of other deserving candidates, chief among them Corey Kluber (2.99 ERA, 2.65 FIP in 117 1/3 innings). Sale has been even better (2.16 ERA, 2.49 FIP) in a tougher park to pitch in, but has thrown 30 fewer innings. Both have compelling cases in the Final Vote, but given Sale's track record and his performance in a few highly visible stats -- he leads the majors in winning percentage (8-1, .889) and the American League in WHIP (0.87) -- he is the most shocking of the starting pitcher snubs.
2014 Snub: Buster Posey
Historical Comparison: Ted Simmons, 1975
Ted Simmons reached eight All-Star teams over 21 seasons between the Cardinals and Brewers, yet somehow remains one of the most underrated catchers in MLB history. Simmons was a regular catcher every year from 1971 through 1983 and posted a below-average OPS once in those 13 seasons. The 1975 season was one of his best, as he slugged 18 home runs, knocked in 100, finished with a .332/.396/.491 line, and was actually better in the season's first half (.324/.399/.510).
But 1975 was a big year for National League catchers. Johnny Bench was at his peak and slugged 28 home runs with an .878 OPS, and in the year of the Big Red Machine, Bench was the obvious choice to start. Manny Sanguillen hit .328/.391/.451 for the Pirates and Gary Carter hit .270/.360/.416 for the Expos and were selected over Simmons.
Nearly forty years later, the National League is in a similar golden age for catchers. Yadier Molina is having a down year with the bat but remains the defensive standard behind the plate. Jonathan Lucroy is an MVP candidate and the league's best-hitting catcher behind a .329/.397/.516 season. Devin Mesoraco has played in just 52 games, but his .634 slugging percentage and 15 home runs are otherworldly power numbers for a catcher.
Posey's .286/.342/.435 line is disappointing by his standards, but in San Francisco those are typically All-Star numbers for a catcher. But with National League catchers hitting as well as ever, Posey was understandably left out for a pair of deserving first-timers in Lucroy and Mesoraco, just as Simmons was left out for a first-timer in Carter 39 years ago.
Bonus Procedural 2014 Snub: Jeff Samardzija
Historical Comparison: Rich Harden, 2008
Samardzija would have made the National League squad if not for last week's trade sending him and Jason Hammel (who had his own All-Star case with a 2.98 ERA and 3.17 FIP) to the Athletics in exchange for top prospect Addison Russell and two others. It's assuring to see Samardzija's 2-7 record didn't taint what was obviously great pitching by the Shark in his final days in Chicago. Samardzija's 136 ERA+ and 3.38 K/BB would have certainly produced more wins if not for a paltry 2.3 runs scored per start behind him; only San Diego's Andrew Cashner (2.2 runs per start) had seen less support.
In 2008, it was the Cubs trading prospects to the Athletics for pitching help. Now, the trade is more significant for bringing the AL's All-Star starter third baseman Josh Donaldson to Oakland, but then, it was the trade that sent Rich Harden to the Cubs. In 13 starts with Oakland in the first half, Harden was 5-1 with a 2.34 ERA and would have been an All-Star lock had he been eligible for the American League.
Harden was excellent for the Cubs to close out 2008 but injuries continued to bite. By 2011, Harden was out of the league, and he never pitched a major league game in his 30s. As such, it was nice to hear the league will honor Samardzija before this year's All-Star game even if he is ineligible to pitch. The right-hander has a clean injury history and will have a great chance at an AL All-Star spot with the Athletics next season.

Tuesday, October 22, 2013 - David and Paco - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
David and Paco - Screen Test - FULL CONTACT
Paco Mlaticka is a great looking guy. I remember him from a few years back, when he was adamant that he could never do anything with another guy. However it seems that he has now had a change of heart, so we set up this screentest with him and David Smetak. We find the two guys sitting of the sofa and talking. David wants to see Paco's exercises. Paco is happy to oblige and does a handstand, with David catching and holding his legs. In that position he then does some push ups. Then he works through a series of different exercises, assisted by David. As he stands up Paco's body is touched by David, who wants to feel those muscles. Then David leans forward and kisses Paco, before moving down to kiss and lick his hot body. He opens Paco's belt and slides a hand in the jeans to feel some cock. Then we have paco sitting, naked, on the sofa, with his cock rock hard and David happily sucking on it. David's jeans are open and his hard cock is poking out as he sucks on Paco. Then David removes his jeans and kneels on the sofa so that Paco can suck his big cock. David has his hand on the back of Paco's head, guiding it onto his hard cock. Paco sucks it well and then licks on the balls too. The Paco moves onto his knees, with his ass positioned towards David who starts to finger that hot hole. He kisses the ass cheeks as he finger the hole, then he starts to rim it too. David's cock is so big and hard that he soon has to slide it into Paco's waiting ass. He goes in nice and deep and begins to fuck that ass as Paco wank's on his own throbbing cock. David really pounds away at that hot ass and then moves Paco into a spoon position and continues to stretch his hole, fucking it nice and deep. Paco wanks himself hard and fast as David fucks him. He also kisses David as he takes that big cock. Then David moves again, sitting on the sofa, and Paco slides his ass right over that cock again, taking it nice and deep as he wanks himself. He rides up and down on that big cock, wanking himself harder and faster. Then as he wanks himself to a big creamy load he hold that ass stills for David to really thrust fuck it. With his creamy load all over him Paco holds that position for David to fuck him as long as he wants. David moves Paco to missionary and fucks him real deep again, soon working up to his cum shot too. He pulls out and quickly dumps his cum all over Paco and then leans forward for a final kiss before they go off to the shower. What a great screentest, with Paco showing how welcome his change of mind has been, for all of us.

Our Coming Soon Set Preview
In Wank Party 2013 we have Rado Zuzka, Vladimir Kruty, Felix Ryha and Tibor Rysavy. This first part starts so well, with Rado standing under an outdoor shower, being watched by Felix. Rado's big cock is rock hard as he showers and Felix rubs his own cock, through his towel. He steps over to Rado, removing the towel and uses it to dry him. Then Felix drops to his knees and sucks on that big hard cock for a while. They then move inside, where we also find Tibor and Vladimir. They are checking something on Tibor's phone, but their attention soon turns to watching as Felix sucks on Rado's throbbing cock again. Taking that as their lead Vladimir and Tibor begin to kiss and feel each other. Vladimir dips a hand into Tibors shorts to grope his cock. He finds that it, too, is very hard and soon has the underwear off and sucks on that thick meat. Felix joins them on the sofa his own cock hard too, and Rado starts to suck on it. Vladimir is all hot and hard as well now, and with his underwear off makes his dick available to Tibor. He eagerly sucks on that cock and then they take turns, each sucking the other. Rado continues to work his mouth all over Felix's cock too. Then it is all change, as Felix rests against the back of the sofa with Vladimir sucking him, as his own dick is sucked by Rado. Rado then leans back and wanks himself to give Tibor another go on Vladimir's hot pole. Vladimir is spoilt for choice, and comes of Felix's cock and goes right down on Rado. That gives Rado the chance to suck Felix again. Then Tibor gets to suck Felix a while. The guys keep up the frenzied sucking, changing partners all the while. The action just gets hotter and hotter until Tibor and Rado lean over the sofa back, so that their asses are available for some rimming. Vladimir's tongue goes deep into Felix's ass as Rado's does the same for Tibor. That his some great rimming to end part one.

The election will be this weekend in the Czech Republic. I just have a couple of articles to share. Prague made the cover of the New York Times again today. That's BIG.
A controversial sculptor installed a piece on the river while the President was out of the country, dedicated to Czech politicians. The New York Times said the name of the piece was too rude to print. And search as I might, I haven't been able to find it's name. But one can easily look at the article and get the meaning:
Then the Prague Post published a piece:
And then Radio Prague published an analysis:
And some speculation regarding dividing the vote: It might help a Communist comeback:
What a great newsletter we have today, starting off with Paco Mlaticka's Screentest, with David Smetak, it took us a long time to persuade Paco, but it was well worth waiting for. The we follow up with wrestling, Kamil Jezek and Ruslan Tarovsky. Our erotic video today is Tibor Rysavy and we end with Sylvestr Paty's session stills.
We also have four very nice castings today, with Ivan Belgen, Ros Mladek, Pavol Rybnek and Zdenek Rada. That is a lovely selection of guys. My pick for today is Pavol Rybnek.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (August 14, 2008) - After seven days of preseason camp, the ETSU women's soccer team opened up its exhibition season by defeating Francis Marion, 4-1, Friday night, at Summers-Taylor Stadium.
After an early FMU foul, the Bucs opened the scoring, as junior defender Kim Jones (
After threatening with three shots in the first minute of the second half, the Bucs again found the back of the net, as sophomore forward Rachel Van Horn (
FMU, who averaged more then 2.5 goals per match last season, finally found the back of the net in the 87th minute, after a long pass by Caitlyn Margusity setup Angela Salem for the Patriots lone goal. However, ETSU would respond less than 20 seconds later, as Goldman would fire a shot off of FMU keeper Casey Durham, which was rebounded by Van Horn for her second goal.
"Offensively, I thought we did a good job pressuring and executing our sets," head coach Heather Henson said. "It was good to see how Rachel (Van Horn) responded tonight. She did a better job locating the ball in the air and finishing her shots around the goal. That's something we are looking for this year in her and tonight was a good start."
ETSU fired 14 shots, with eight on goal, in the match. Defensively, freshman keeper Megan Masch led the Bucs with four saves, in 68 minutes of play.
"Overall, I thought we had a decent showing tonight," said Henson. "I thought we played with good effort, but as in most early preseason games I think we learned some things tonight that's only going to help us down the road."
The Bucs will return to action with their second exhibition match next Friday night, as ETSU travels to

University System Marks Record Headcount Enrollment
Posted on 10/3/2008
For Immediate Release:
For More Information Contact:
October 3, 2008
Debra A. Anderson, Director of Public Affairs
North Dakota University System
Phone: 701.328.2962
University System Marks Record Headcount Enrollment
BISMARCK, N.D. - Headcount enrollment at the 11 North Dakota University System colleges and universities has reached a record high, according to a preliminary Fall Semester 2008 Enrollment Report released to the State Board of Higher Education.
The Fall Semester 2008 system-wide headcount enrollment of 43,442 students includes an increase of 1,615 students or 3.9 percent compared to Fall Semester 2007. University System officials attribute this increase to a number of factors that point to enhanced responsiveness to today's learning environment.
"The Roundtable on Higher Education directed the University System to look at ways to improve access to higher education," said Richie Smith, president of the State Board of Higher Education. "Record enrollment during a period of declining state demographics shows that the 11 University System campuses are using the flexibility recommended by the roundtable process and implemented by state policy to meet the expectations of the people and state of North Dakota."
"Both the campus and the people it serves benefit when outreach is extended beyond the immediate geographic area," said Bill Goetz, NDUS chancellor. "Many University System colleges and universities are offering courses and programs at off-site locations, often on the campuses of sister institutions. University System campuses also are reaching additional students through access to high-quality on-line education."
The NDUS census date was Sept. 22, 2008, on the 20th day of classes. Comprehensive enrollment data will be available when the official Fall Semester 2008 Enrollment Report is released later this month; enrollment highlights include the following:
Based on headcount enrollment, 22 percent of students (9,495) are enrolled at NDUS community colleges, and 78 percent (33,947) are enrolled at system universities.
NDUS community colleges had a combined net headcount enrollment increase of 6.7 percent, while the universities gained 3.1 percent more students.
The total system full-time equivalent enrollment (FTE) of 36,096 is an increase of 2.9 percent (1,021 FTE) compared to last year.
Based on permanent addresses, 63.3 percent of the students served by NDUS institutions (27,513) are North Dakota residents.
27 percent of students (11,592) are from the contiguous states of Minnesota, Montana and South Dakota, and 1 percent of students (433) are from Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
With representation from the private and public sectors, in 2000 the Roundtable on Higher Education defined expectations of the NDUS and said the University System should play a larger role in enhancing the economic and social vitality of North Dakota.

The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Area Command received 200 box fans from OG&E and another 100 fans from Ace Hardware Wednesday to help seniors, the chronically ill and families with infants stay cool during the summer.
The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Area Command hopes to prevent the heat-related deaths that Oklahoma experienced in past years. Many elderly citizens die during the summer months due to heat-related illnesses.
The Salvation Army provides box fans to:
*senior citizens age 62 and older
* families with infants under 6 months of age
* the disabled with chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, asthma, emphysema and people taking psychotropic and other medications.
Clients in need should call 405-246-1060 to see if they qualify for a free fan.
"Heat poses a very real danger to our elderly clients and those with medical issues," said Ashley Jones, director of Social Services for the Central Oklahoma Area Command. "These box fans literally can mean the difference between staying cool and dying from the heat."
"We are especially grateful to OG&E and ACE Hardware for their loyal and generous donations of fans. Without their help, we would be hard-pressed to be able to supply as many fans as we do for those in need," Jones added.
Last summer, The Salvation Army provided more than 500 fans in Central Oklahoma.
Applicants are required to bring the following documentation to the appointment:
1) Picture ID – (Driver's License, State Issued ID, Governmental/Military ID, or Passport or ID from Country of Origin) for ALL adult household members
2) Social Security Cards, legal documents bearing Social Security numbers or equivalent documentation from Country of Origin for ALL household members.
3) Proof of Residency – current gas, electric, water or lease agreement/mortgage payment.
4) Applicants must reside in Oklahoma County.
The Salvation Army Central Oklahoma Area Command also provides a cooling station at the Red Shield Kitchen, 330 SW 4th, at the Norman Corps at 318 E. Hayes in Norman and at the Canadian County Service Center at 201 S. Bickford in El Reno when temperatures reach more than 100 degrees.

Facial Discomfort Survey Results
Posted: 02/20/2006
Survey Shows Facial Disorder Hurts More Than Appearance
BARRINGTON, Illinois (February 20, 2006) -- While the often-devastating impact of rosacea on facial appearance is well recognized, a new survey shows that physical discomfort is also experienced by the majority of people with this red-faced, acne-like disorder now estimated to affect more than 14 million Americans.
In the survey of 605 rosacea patients, conducted by the National Rosacea Society and published in Rosacea Review, 93 percent said they had experienced at least some physical discomfort due to rosacea. Among those who experienced discomfort, the most common manifestation was facial burning, experienced by 72 percent of the respondents. In addition, facial itching was reported by 61 percent, stinging by 52 percent and swelling by 41 percent.
Forty percent of the respondents reported tenderness, while 36 percent said they experienced tightness in their skin. Thirty-one percent experienced tingling and 24 percent felt a prickling sensation.
"The physical pain experienced by many rosacea patients is often underappreciated by others," said Dr. John Wolf, chairman of dermatology at Baylor College of Medicine. "Rosacea patients need to take special care to avoid substances that irritate their skin, along with other triggers that might cause irritation and lead to a flare-up."
Physical discomfort was experienced most often in the facial regions where rosacea is most common: the cheeks (80 percent), nose (53 percent), eyes (48 percent), chin (40 percent) and forehead (36 percent).
Many of the respondents commented that their "faces felt hot, like having a very bad sunburn," while others reported "outright pain," "pulsating pain" or a "searing sensation" on their facial skin.
Interestingly, a number of rosacea patients reported discomfort in areas beyond the central face, including the ears (18 percent), scalp (20 percent), neck (16 percent) and behind the ears (11 percent).
Seventy-two percent of those surveyed said the discomfort occurred at the same time as the physical signs of rosacea, and an additional 21 percent said there was some correlation.
Fortunately, 84 percent of the respondents reported that medical therapy helped relieve the discomfort associated with their condition.
Rosacea is a chronic disorder that usually first strikes after age 30, and is more frequently diagnosed in women than men. It most often begins as a flushing or redness on the cheeks, nose, chin or forehead that may come and go.
Over time, the redness tends to become ruddier and more persistent, and visible blood vessels may appear. Left untreated, bumps and pimples may develop and, in severe cases -- particularly in men -- the nose may grow swollen and bumpy from excess tissue. In many people, the eyes are also affected, feeling irritated and appearing watery or bloodshot.
Individuals who suspect they may have rosacea are urged to see a dermatologist for diagnosis and appropriate treatment.

Northwest Highway, Suite 200, Barrington, Illinois 60010, or call its toll-free number at 1-888-NO-BLUSH.

Naxos, the largest independent label in the world of classical music, is releasing Serafin String Quartet's newest recording in digital format.
Naxos, the largest independent label in the world of classical music, is releasing Serafin String Quartet's newest recording in digital format.
Led by Kate Ransom, President and CEO of Music School of Delaware, the other members are Esme Allen-Creighton, Lawrence Stomberg and Lisa Vaupel.
The disc, featuring early chamber works by Jennifer Higdon, is now available on Amazon and Itunes.
Serafin String Quartet initiated its discography and recording output with a debut release on the Centaur label in fall 2010. Their debut disc received high praise in The Strad Magazine (2010) and American Record Guide (2011). Significant recording projects remain an important part of the Quartet's artistic activity. The Serafins aspire to present recorded material that reflects the quality of their own artistic output and their philosophical commitment to the works of living composers, as well as time-tested masterworks, through both performance and recording projects.
About Jennifer Higdon
Grammy award-winning composer, Jennifer Higdon (b. 1962 and presently based in Philadelphia) recently received the Pulitzer Prize for her Violin Concerto and is one of the most-performed living American composers working today. Along with being a Grammy winner, she has also been the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Pew Fellowship and two awards from the American Academy of Arts & Letters. Commissions have come from the Philadelphia Orchestra to The President's Own Marine Band to the Tokyo String Quartet.
About Serafin String Quartet
Hailed by The Strad Magazine for "playing with style and sophistication" and the American Record Guide for "combining true rhythmic precision, beautiful intonation, and beautiful articulation with an excellent sense of balance and deeply satisfying musical phrasing," Serafin String Quartet has been applauded by audiences around the nation, including sellout crowds at repeat performances in New York City's Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. The Quartet's debut recording was released by Centaur Records in September 2010, to critical acclaim. Serafin String Quartet serves as Quartet in Residence at the University of Delaware and takes its name from master violin maker, Sanctus Serafin, who in 1728 crafted the violin currently played by Kate Ransom.

1. Please tell us about the general status of DragonFly BSD.
Matthew Dillon: The project has been going very well. We've primarily been focused on the 'guts' of the system during this initial period, and you can get a fair idea of the work that has been accomplished so far by looking at the Diary page on our site.
Most of the work so far has been to operating systems internals. The work has been a combination of new work, like our light weight kernel threading core, plus selective backports from FreeBSD-5 to keep the system's device drivers up to date (e.g. such as the USB subsystem).
From a userland perspective we have maintained a FreeBSD style environment, so DragonFly basically runs everything that FreeBSD-4.x can run. The packaging system probably won't be done until the second release so we are at the moment leveraging off of FreeBSD's ports system for user apps. Everything you'd expect of a BSD system (X, mozilla, etc) is available to DragonFly users.
The first release is slated for some time in mid-June, hopefully before the USENIX Technical Conference. That will be the 1.0 release. We've been fairly careful to maintain as high a level of reliability as possible during development and I think we've done a pretty good job meeting that goal. The first release is intended to be more of a technology showpiece then an integrated end-user platform.
2. Are you using any bits and pieces from FreeBSD-5, or you only strictly importing/exporting to FreeBSD-4 codebase?
Matthew Dillon: DragonFly began as a fork off of FreeBSD-4, because that was the most reliable starting point and because we wanted to do major core pieces of the system quite differently from the direction FreeBSD-5 took. For example, we are focused on more of a compartmentalized threading model to scale to SMP rather then the mutex model that FreeBSD-5 has chosen to use. But the FreeBSD-4 codebase is of strictly limited utility as a source of new code and maintainance updates. FreeBSD developers are doing nearly all new coding in the FreeBSD-5 branch.
So, basically, we are doing the major core pieces of the OS differently, such as our significantly evolved threading and messaging subsystems, but we are also maintaining a FreeBSD-5 compatible (or mostly compatible) device driver API in order to be able to bring in all the excellent device driver work that has gone into FreeBSD-5. It's simple logic, really... we don't have the manpower to be able to accomplish both our infrastructure goals *AND* be able to maintain pace with new PC hardware at the same time. This methodology allows us to proceed on both fronts by focusing our own new work on the infrastructure and bringing in FreeBSD-5's device driver work. This isn't to say that we don't do some of our own DD work, but the vast majority of it is take from FreeBSD-5 by design.
3. What is the primary goal of dragonfly, servers or desktops?
Matthew Dillon: Both. When it comes right down to it the idea of targeting a system to the 'server' is simply another word for 'reliability and scaleability', and the idea of targeting a system to the 'desktop' is simply another word for 'out of the box GUI'. It's not really an either-or deal. All UNIX systems, including Linux, the BSD's, DragonFly... basically use the same desktop components so supporting a desktop environment comes down to being able to provide integrated solutions that work out of the box.
It is extraordinarily difficult to make GUIs work out of the box on PCs due to the wide variability in hardware and peripherals, but at the same time technology has continued to progress over the years towards standards that actually make this easier to accomplish. At some point the standards going in one direction will meet the software going in the other and systems such as Linux and the BSDs (including DragonFly) will be able to approach the out-of-the-box compatibility that took Microsoft billions of dollars of development to accomplish. It isn't a matter of if, it's a matter of when.
4. Do you eye the embedded systems market at all?
Matthew Dillon: It is not a focus. We fully intend to make DragonFly operate in 64 bit environments such as the AMD64 (which is also compatible with the Intel's latest 64 bit announcements even though Intel doesn't like to admit it), but embedded systems are already very well served by Linux and NetBSD and we would prefer to focus on technology rather then platform ports. FreeBSD-5 has had a difficult time supporting the half dozen or so platforms they are trying to work with and I doubt we would fare any better, so I am not even going to try. Eventually, if DragonFly becomes popular enough, embedded systems ports will probably happen, but it's probably several years down the line.
5. How big is the DragonFly team currently? Are you happy with the development pace?
Matthew Dillon: Very happy. The main kernel@ mailing list has 241 people subscribed to it as of now and I have handed out 9 commit bits, with another dozen or so people submitting patch sets outside of that. We have a good spread of developers focused on different subsystems. For example, Jeffrey Hsu is focused on threading the network stack while Joerg Sonnenberg has been focused on the PCI bus and ATA disk driver subsystems, which frees me up to be able to focus on technological infrastructure such as the threading subsystem. It's about at the limit which I can sustain and still have time to do significant programming myself, in fact!

Tuesday September 29, 2009
Troubled singer Amy Winehouse is flying over a faith healer she met during her extended stay in St Lucia to help keep her on the straight and narrow.
The Back to Black star met Peter Hippolyte while on the Caribbean isle and hit it off with him so well she is jetting him over to Britain.
"I have healing hands and I talk to her and explain things to her," Peter told Heat magazine.
"She's a wonderful girl and she believes in me. I am coming back to England to help her."
He has also spoken about his therapy sessions with the 26-year-old, who has battled alcohol and drugs in the past.
"We hug each other, we kiss each other and I put my hands on her shoulders. I tell her not to worry and we sing to each other."
"When I come to the UK, I will use my hands to heal her and use my psychological healing to organise her mind."
"We will say prayers together and she will drink bush tea with antioxidants," he said.

I don't normally cover items from Leland Meitzler's Genealogy Blog as it's usually US-centric, but the item Book Venders Banned from the RootsTech Exhibit Hall is of more than US interest, a sign of the times.
It refers to a note from RootsTech's Exhibit Hall Coordinator that:
"RootsTech exhibit hall is for technically related products and services. We are purposefully not accepting applications from genealogical studies, book publishers, book resellers or arts and crafts dealers."This appears to continue the trend I sensed last year from the conference - nothing to learn from the past, no room for the conventional. Reminds me of the Dot Com bubble days when we were told the old ways of evaluating stocks no longer applied.
Best use all tools at your disposal, and use them together.

David Rader, Retired Fortune 100 CFO: The Importance of Being a "How" CFO
David (Dave) Rader, who served as CFO and senior vice president of Frito-Lay from 1998 to 2010, discusses the changes he has seen in the CFO's world during and since his tenure and their impact on both CFOs and businesses. He also talks about the need to gain the trust—of the CEO, the board, operations and employees—to drive change and long-term growth in this interview with Dave Scullin, partner, Deloitte & Touche LLP. Mr. Rader discusses the importance of staying focused on the business's long-term success despite quarterly earnings pressures, and being neither a "Yes" CFO nor a "No" CFO, but rather a "How" CFO, one who works with operations to find financial solutions that allow business units to drive innovation.
Dave Scullin: What are the biggest challenges CFOs face today that may not have existed during your finance career?
Dave Rader: One of the biggest challenges I see is the faster clock speed at which CFOs must operate. The speed at which business decisions have to be made ramped up greatly during the time I served as CFO, and it has accelerated even more in the last few years, as social media has taken hold. Today, a statement or opinion issued through social media can drive a company's stock price down in minutes, and those kinds of events can destroy a company very quickly. The CFO has to be on top of such developments and be prepared to respond instantly. Cybersecurity also has become a huge issue since my days as CFO, as companies embrace not only social media, but big data, the cloud and mobile workforces.
The faster clock speed is also building up around the quarterly earnings. Some investors are putting so much pressure on companies to deliver strong quarterly earnings that CFOs can end up focusing on the short-term aspects of the company, and sacrifice its long-term success. I see some companies hesitate to make long-term investments and strategic shifts because of the pressure on quarterly earnings. Everybody talks about long-term shareholder value: Wall Street analysts tell you, "We're concerned about the long term." But if a company misses a quarterly earnings estimate by two cents because of a strategic shift to help growth or an external event, like a natural disaster, that impacts the supply chain for a quarter, the stock can drop 5% or more. The pressure on companies to deliver zero earnings surprises and constant, profitable growth is enormous.
Dave Scullin: What can CFOs do to manage today's accelerated pace and the quarterly earnings pressures?
Dave Rader: In today's world with this faster clock speed, decisions have to be made faster. That means not getting bogged down in a slow-moving process and pushing every business decision to the most senior level. The aim has to be establishing a culture of trust so the organization can move smartly and quickly. This means decisions have to be pushed down, not pulled up.
With regard to earnings pressures, one thing CFOs can do is to make sure their company communicates with analysts as early, honestly and openly as they can when issues arise and explain the long-term implications of decisions. In this environment, nothing is more important than being transparent and establishing trust: you want people to see and understand what you're doing so that they can trust management when it says, "We are making this move to improve our long-term strategic position."
But sometimes the real issue is that senior management may be afraid to make some of those big, long-term decisions, and therefore is hesitant or reluctant to be transparent and explain decisions. Many times when a company replaces the CEO―and the CFO―you'll see the new team come in and reset the profit trajectory and do the things previous management should have done but didn't do because they starved the business to make quarterly earnings.
Dave Scullin: How can CFOs help their CEOs stay focused on the long term?
Dave Rader: You have to look for opportunities to shift the costs of business to support your investment strategy. For example, if you need to increase investments in advertising and marketing (A&M) to grow the business, you have to find productivity elsewhere in the business to do that. At the operating level organizations require a productivity mindset and at the executive level a strategic mindset toward shifting the cost of business as needed. Many CFOs are not as aggressive in driving productivity into the business as they could be, either because they aren't trusted by other business leaders and get pushback, or because they don't have enough knowledge of their business model to see productivity opportunities. Instead of working to dramatically change productivity, companies tend to incrementalize their productivity improvements.
One of the accomplishments that I'm most proud of during my tenure as CFO at Frito-Lay was driving the productivity culture all the way through the organization. We took a tremendous amount of cost out of the business without impacting the product or employees, and we were able to shift the savings into investments in the business as well as the profit stream. It takes a lot of energy to drive costs out so they can be reinvested into the business. If you reinvest cost reductions into profit only, you're headed down the wrong path, one that will likely hit a wall and lead to a new CEO and CFO at the helm.
Dave Scullin: How did you gain buy-in from other leaders and stakeholders?
Dave Rader: The most important element of being able to catalyze change was earning the trust of my CEO, the board and the business leaders that I had the best interests of the organization at heart. To be a true partner to the business and be a leader in your organization, people have to believe that you're trying to do the right thing for the business, not just the right thing financially. To achieve that sense of trust you have to demonstrate that your focus is on the success of the business. For example, when I became CFO, the finance organization worked separately from operations. I changed that by moving the supply chain finance people to the supply chain wing, marketing finance people to the marketing wing and so on. I wanted my team to work alongside their business partners. Doing that sent a message to the organization that we weren't just saying we wanted to be a partner to the business—we showed that we wanted to work with operations.
A lot of people in finance didn't like the arrangement at first, but they got immersed in the business, saw their business partners all day and learned what was going on from the business's perspective. And when meetings were taking place or there were hallway conversations, they were part of them.
Dave Scullin: How did you balance being a business partner with your role as financial steward?
Dave Rader: Building trust across the organization is important. I need the team to trust me so that my goal to improve the business was clear and not seen as just cut costs. Establishing trust allowed me to do things, say things and be involved in things that a typical "No" CFO can't. A "No" CFO gets isolated very quickly. You don't want to be a "Yes" CFO, either. The ideal is to be a "How" CFO—the one who says, "How are we going to take your idea and make it work financially?"
So, I worked with the supply chain people to make sure that they got the money they needed to invest in productivity. I worked with the marketing team to make sure they got the investments needed to drive marketing. If people believe your objective is to help them be more effective, they'll allow you to work with them. At some point, you may have to cut their budget, but if you do it from a position of the trust you've built with them, they'll accept those cuts.
I also made sure there was a measurable return on those investments, so when I talked to Wall Street or went to the board, I could point to that ROI and say, "Here's why we invested the money from those productivity savings into A&M instead of directing it into profits to boost our quarterly earnings, and here's how it's helping us grow long term."
Dave Scullin: How did you gain the board's confidence while you were CFO?
Dave Rader: I keep using the word "trust," but really, nothing's more important than developing that sense of trust; once you develop trust with others, you can be more open with the process. I made a practice of inviting board members to financial meetings and asking for their input. I wanted them, and particularly the audit committee chairman, to get to know me and how I operated as CFO. You have to build relationships over time, gradually give others an inside look and see how they deal with it. I'm an audit committee chair now, and I make a point of encouraging the CFO to talk to me and use me as a sounding board.

Arab world needs broad governance reform | Mohammad Pournik
03 Jan 2013
High unemployment and inequality fuelled Arab Spring uprisings that began in 2010, but the Arab world needs broad governance reform to achieve sustainable, equitable growth. Ousting dictators alone isn't enough. People want bread, but they also want social justice and freedom.
Experts at the UNDP Regional Center in Cairo reached that conclusion after lengthy study, culminating in the Arab Development Challenges Report that has now been launched in capitals around the world.
Having spent nearly three decades in the field, I believe this is indeed the case—governance and rule of law are essential to the sustainable, inclusive development the Arab world so acutely needs.
In Egypt, the problem wasn't simply political exclusion--it was political and economic exclusion. Reform will succeed only when it addresses both.
Unemployment remains a critical challenge, but reliably measuring joblessness is difficult in countries without unemployment insurance and a system of registering for it.
Enormous challenges such as food security, water scarcity, and management of natural resource also remain. Arab states must invest better in managing water resources and improving irrigation and agricultural productivity and devise incentives for investment in renewable energy.
Governance failures helped create this situation: Here we see institutions that perpetuate themselves, corrosive constituencies for social justice and no meaningful labor unions or employers' associations. But this model has run its course and can no longer buy social peace. Citizens are asserting a central role, and the state and the market must respond.
We need a new development vision and a new social contract, an inclusive political system and capable, accountable state and competitive, transparent markets.
After 30 years with UNDP, I retire soon with much hope for real transformation in the Arab region. After many years in which I found myself dealing with politicians and bureaucrats who paid lip service to development but were interested only in safeguarding their privileges, I will never forget attending a meeting of Tunisian officials in March 2011, where one after another spoke of the need for a genuine reappraisal of policies and listened attentively to youth demands for change.
Talk to us: What is the role of the governance in development?
