Since all the animal beings accede an absurd, agitated and angry censor as a aloft allotment of their analytic sphere, appropriately all the animal problems are affronted by this craziness. This archaic censor is agrarian like shark.
Most of the animal being's cerebral problems are attributable to the aloft mentioned reason. Moreover, they cannot accept a stable, peaceful and blessed life, because of this monster in their psyche.
This can be convalescent alone through psychotherapy!
As anon as the humans came to apperceive about the acceptation of this issue, they had started to apprentice alleviative craziness.
So far, the best address to anticipate and amusement depression, applesauce and baleful affection is the adjustment of dream estimation presented by Carl Jung. I had agitated on my abstraction on the aphotic and abstruse ancillary of the animal analytic apple through dream interpretation. For that reason, I managed to advance this adjustment by presenting bigger models. I had absolute the absolute causes, which added aggravate these types of diseases. Not alone this, I had aswell unearthed the methods/solutions to eradicate them forever.
Nobody could anytime anticipate that by interpreting our dreams we could cure the austere cerebral diseases like depression, neurosis, hysteria, psychosis and aloft all the gigantic schizophrenia! In fact the dreams we have, admit us with the absolute advice as able-bodied as the psychotherapy.
Since everybody inherits a agrarian censor that consistently incites applesauce in the animal getting by advancing their faculty of appropriate and wrong, appropriately anybody in fact needs psychotherapy.
The ego is in fact the aperture that connects the animal ancillary of the animal censor with the agrarian anti-conscience. So it destroys the animal censor by ascent craziness, which is already allotment of their nature. Appropriately it added aggravates the applesauce of the animal conscience.
The action amid the animal censor and the agrarian anti-conscience is demography abode all the time during our lives. The poor animal censor lives analytic for brainy bloom with the abutment of the astute benumbed that sends us dreams to assure us from applesauce and the connected attacks that appear from our agrarian side.
Since you already accept such a able adversary aural your conscience, you accordingly absolutely charge admonition in your activity to action adjoin this foe.
Hence, if you are alive enough, you will apprehend the charge of psychotherapy and accept the accent to accept the ability of interpreting your dreams. By acquirements and accepting this, you can get rid of depression, applesauce and baleful thoughts. It ultimately gives you a abiding and blessed life. Not alone this, but it aswell widen your personality angle and accomplish you wiser.
This would be your primary footfall heeded for health, peace, acumen and beatitude in your life.
So, you bigger acquisition out the cold of your activity by acquirements the address to adapt your dreams. My alignment is a assiduity of Jung's theory, but actual simple. Because of the complication of people's problems, they don't accept abundant time. However, I accept convalescent abounding humans in abbreviate time aeon even with actual circuitous problems. Attributable to abridgement of time, I had to adapt their dreams instantaneously. By practising this, I had calm the advice about the absoluteness of their present, as to what accomplish bare to be taken to aegis their future.
You accept to acquisition it harder to believe, but it is actual accurate that we can accept advice about our present as able-bodied about our future. Since we are in connected danger, the benumbed tells us about the added humans about us and about our future. All this advice helps us in attention not alone adjoin our agrarian side, but aswell from added people's agrarian conscience.
The aegis and the psychotherapy you accept in your dreams advice you reside a blessed and abiding activity by alteration this agrarian and crazy apple in a nice place, area people, afterwards advertent their acumen and peace, would advance a activity abounding of joy.

Serious sattelites and sub from AlienVibes; featuring Full Wood!
Subject: General Tech | March 11, 2013 - 07:15 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: audio, AlienVibes W401, portable speakers, subwoofer
If you are shopping for 2.1 desktop speakers that offer better sound than the cheap plastic ones for sale everywhere you might want to check out LANOC's latest review. They took a look at the AlienVibes W401 speaker set, with a pair of satellite speakers each with a pair of 3" speakers and a 1" tweeter as well along with a serious looking sub-woofer that has a pair of 4" speakers and volume, bass and treble dials front and centre on the box. They claim full wood construction and from the quality of sound LANOC described AlienVibes constructed the housings properly. Want more good news? They should retail for less than $90 which makes them less expensive than many audio headsets which simply cannot deliver the quality of bass a good sub can.
"Being a headphone guy myself, when Wes told me I was being shipped some speakers, my first instinct was either a portable speaker set for laptops or mobile listening, or maybe a small set of speakers for a desktop setup. To my surprise AlienVibes sent out one of their W401 model speakers. This is part of a new larger line of speakers that AlienVibes recently released. The W401 is a full size desk speaker setup with subwoofer. After clearing off some room around my desk it's time we take a look and see what these guys are capable of."

Axiom wants to kick your bass

Tagged: audio, axiom, EP125 V3, subwoofer
If you require a little more audio quality than a pair of inexpensive 2.1 speakers can offer you should head on over to the Guru of 3D for their review of the Axiom EP125 V3 subwoofer, intended to be paired with the bookshelf speakers that Guru reviewed earlier. You can tell this is a little more than a simple add on subwoofer when you see the aluminium speaker. On the back it sports an XLR output and combo XLR/TRS inputs which will allow you daisy chain multiple subwoofers together. A crossover switch toggles between 80Hz and 150Hz for those who need fine tuning on this 125W sub. Keep in mind, Guru 3D is not done yet as they still have to add in the VP100 Center channel speaker and paired QS4 rears channel satellite speakers to achieve total surround sound.
"Recently, we reviewed the Axiom M3 v2 bookshelf speakers and found them to be great speaker for the price point but bookshelf speakers are only capable of reproducing the higher areas of the sonic spectrum.
Bookshelf speaker based audio systems require a subwoofer to produce the lower frequency ranges that the bookshelf speakers cannot accurate reproduce. Axiom produces a subwoofer which is said to be an excellent match sonically for the M3 speakers."

Beauty is in the ears of the beholder; a second opinion on Corsair's SP2500 2.1 speakers

Not too long ago Josh reviewed Corsair's 2.1 speaker set which goes by the name of SP2500 and then later Ryan gave it away to a reader. He was very happy with the way that they performed, but seeing as how judging audio quality can be quite subjective and as most of our readers did not get a set of speakers perhaps a second opinion is a good idea. To that end you can read about the same set of speakers as they were reviewed over at The Tech Report.
"Corsair has supplemented its line of audio products with a premium 2.1 speaker set. Is it worth the $250 asking price?"

NORTHAMPTON, Mass. - MIT recorded a season-high 64 kills for a three-game match and rolled over NEWMAC-rival Smith, 3-0, on Tuesday night in Northampton. Rose Zhong continues to terminate the ball at a torrid pace; guiding the Engineers with a match-high 18 kills and a hitting percentage of .417. With the win, MIT improves to 23-8 overall and 8-0 in the NEWMAC.
Smith (18-10, 5-3 NEWMAC) was unable to generate much offense after falling, 31-29, in a tight first game. In game two, the MIT attack took control with Rogoz collecting eight kills to lead the way. Tech cruised after the initial surge to capture game two, 30-20.
The Engineers duplicated their effort from game two in the third round, although the team shifted to Caroline Jordan to provide the knockout blow. Jordan totaled seven kills in the final game and finished the match with 14 total and a .428 hitting percentage.
MIT has hit the ball very well in its last two games, capping Tuesday's victory with a team hitting average of .352. Junior Austin Zimmerman was brilliant in her return to the lineup, setting a season-high51 assists and outdistancing her average of 11.6helpers per game. Zimmerman also added 14 digs to share match-high honors with teammate Arlis Reynolds.

Medication Safety Policy Brief
By the Numbers
- Every day in the United States about 165 young kids—or roughly four school busloads of children—are treated in ERs after getting into medication.
- Unintentional ingestion of medications is the leading cause of child poisoning today.
- Among young children, 95 percent of medication-related poisoning visits to emergency rooms are caused by a child ingesting medication while unsupervised.
- Each $43 spent on poison center services saves almost $320 in health care spending.
- More children are brought to emergency rooms for medication poisonings than for motor vehicle crash injuries.
Advocacy at Work
Safe Storage, Safe Dosing, Safe Kids
"Safe Storage, Safe Dosing, Safe Kids," a 2012 research report from Safe Kids Worldwide, examined trends in morbidity and mortality of medication poisoning among children 14 and under. It was the beginning of a Safe Kids effort to help prevent unintentional medication exposures. The report underscores the challenge of medication-related poisoning among children. Safe Kids also proposes specific roles that all stakeholders can play in improving medication safety through safe storage and safe dosing. "Safe Storage, Safe Dosing, Safe Kids" was made possible with the support of McNeil Consumer Healthcare.
Up and Away
Safe Kids is a national partner in Up and Away and Out of Sight, an educational program led by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), to remind families of the importance of safe medication storage.
Policy Prescription
Poison Control Centers
Poison Control Centers (PCC) are a vital part of the nation's health care system, especially when it comes to child safety. The statistics tell the story. PCCs save lives and tax dollars because so many cases are resolved with phone calls with the centers rather than a much more costly ER visit. It is estimated that it costs about $150 million to run all 57 PCCs nationally, including some federal dollars. However, the federal government has been reducing its investment. While the authorized level is $28.6 million, the appropriations came in $10 million below that level. Safe Kids is calling on appropriators to provide PCCs with the amount set by the authorizing committee.
The toll-free number to reach the PCC in your area is 1-800-222-1222.
Safe Disposal Options
A best practice for all of us is to safely dispose of unused meds, especially when there are kids around. Options to safely and appropriately dispose of unused medicines include: 1) the Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA) National Take-Back program and 2) SMARxT DISPOSAL. It is critical that the DEA continue to conduct medication take-backs, and Congress must ensure that the agency has the budgetary capacity to do so. Many Safe Kids coalitions partner with the DEA on Take-Back Days.
Plain Language Labeling and Instructions
Research shows that 59.2 percent of parents have difficulty understanding over-the-counter medication labels. We support FDA's health literacy focus.

Scapegoat Wilderness
IntroductionThe United States Congress designated the Scapegoat Wilderness (map) in 1972 and it now has a total of 259,756 acres. All of this wilderness is located in Montana and is managed by the Forest Service. The Scapegoat Wilderness is bordered by the Bob Marshall Wilderness to the north.
DescriptionScapegoat Wilderness-Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex: Located in Northwestern Montana on both sides of the Continental Divide, this large complex includes three Wilderness areas: the Great Bear, the Scapegoat, and the Bob Marshall Wilderness. Together the Bob Marshall Wilderness Complex makes up an area of more than 1.5 million acres, the third largest in the lower 48 states. Grizzly bear, lynx, wolverine, deer, elk, gray wolf, moose, black bear, mountain lion, mountain goat, and mountain sheep roam about these rugged ridge tops, gently sloping alpine meadows, thickly forested river bottoms and open grass parks. Across this continuous landscape over 1700 miles of trail provide challenges and experiences to satisfy visitors with a wide range of skills. The Scapegoat Wilderness was designated in 1972 at 239,936 acres through a "grass roots" community effort and earned a place in history as the first citizen-initiated wilderness area in the nation. The Scapegoat's acreage is split between the Helena (Lincoln Ranger District), Lewis and Clark (Rocky Mountain Ranger District) and Lolo (Seeley Lake Ranger District) National Forests. It contains approximately 320 miles of system trail. The Scapegoat Wilderness is dominated by the massive limestone cliffs of the 9,204-foot Scapegoat Mountain that extends south from the Bob Marshall's Chinese Wall. Elevations range from 5,000 feet on the North Fork of the Blackfoot River to 9,400 feet on Red Mountain, the highest peak in the Complex. The Scapegoat Wilderness is approximately 32 miles long and ranges from four to 24 miles in width. The Scapegoat includes the headwaters of the Dearborn River and South Fork of the Sun River on the Lewis and Clark National Forest, Landers Fork of the Blackfoot River on the Helena National Forest, and the North Fork of the Blackfoot River on the Lolo National Forest.

Detectives at bank during robbery arrest 2 suspects in string of Oregon hold-ups
PORTLAND, Ore. – Detectives investigating a string of weekend bank robberies in Oregon were in the right place at the right time.
The investigators were at a bank inside a Fred Meyer store in Portland Tuesday evening when two men held up the institution.
Robbery detectives arrested the two men as they attempted to escape. Police say the banks in the weekend robberies were held up by a man with a threatening note. The amount of money taken was not disclosed.
Twenty-nine-year-old Ryan Joseph Beisley and 20-year-old Travis David Johnson were arrested and jailed pending formal bank robbery charges.

LAS VEGAS — The gaming and mobile world is taking hold of fitness, and it doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon.
In early January, the four-day International Consumer Electronics Show sponsored its first-ever "Cardio PlayZone," a specific spot at the show that featured six companies that manufacture or supply cardio-related gaming software.
These cardio-inspired companies are hoping to profit and help children and adults get healthier by throwing in a little bit of fun.
One exhibitor at the show, Cyclescore, was funded by a grant from the MIT iCampus program that funds students who propose innovative technical projects that improve campus life. The project consists of riding a stationary bike while doing one of two games: pedaling a hot air balloon over mountains to collect coins and shoot targets, or pedaling to increase an energy meter while flying around in a spaceship and shooting down enemies. Each time the player shoots, the energy meter is depleted.
The games automatically decrease or increase in difficulty depending on the player's game-playing skill and fitness level, a feature that David Edery, leader of the MIT graduate program, calls a "Difficulty Management System." The project is not yet sold, but Edery hopes to be to market within a year, he said.
"I have been an exercise devotee since high school and have always wanted to bring video games and exercise together," Edery said. "I think it's a natural fit."
Some of the other exhibitors at the show were Electric-Spin, Empower, Hotseat Chassis DNC, Konami and Powergrid Fitness.
Makoto, a mental training and sports tool, has also seen a boom in the exergaming field, especially with the immense popularity of Dance Dance Revolution. The product, a staff that is used to hit specific targets according to sounds, is used not only for getting the heart rate up, but also for increasing concentration in various age groups from small children and teenagers with learning disabilities to professional athletes.
Also in on the technology-fitness partnership is 2Thumbz Entertainment and UNC Health Care. Following another trend in fitness technology, UNC Health Care will provide health applications for cell phones and other wireless devices including a calorie counter, carb counter, pedometer, personal trainer and a stop-smoking aid.
"We are always looking for new ways to get health information into the hands of people, and this is a great way to keep fitness and wellness top of mind each and every day," Karen McCall, vice president of public affairs and marketing for UNC health care, said.
Applications let users set target weight goals and get feedback on the number of days required to meet their desired weight based on calorie consumption and activity levels. The technology includes a database of nutritional information for 500 popular food types and beverages, including items from fast-food restaurants and different types of beer.
In a similar move, Weight Watchers launched its mobile weight-loss application that synchs with a Web-based account. Weight Watchers On-the-Go allows subscribers to get food lists and weight-loss tools. The application synchronizes data between handheld devices and on-line accounts.

So I went to the new snort.org website last night and I was able to download VRT rules. I have never registered for them nor was I even registered with the snort forum when I downloaded. Since I never clicked 'I agree' does that mean Im still subject to the licensing. Not that the licensing really effects me but I found it interesting with all the licensing talks lately that I could just goto the site and get the the VRT rules released on 3/10.
Also would there be any reason I could not share these rules?I mean can I just upload them to this post and let whoever wants to get them just download from here?
I just double checked to and now you cant download them so I guess they fixed there mistake.

- Mumbai A v England XI, Mumbai, 3rd day
Compton states case with half-century
As is the case with most three-day first-class games in India, there wasn't much at stake in terms of the result between the visiting England XI and Mumbai A at the Dr DY Patil Sports Stadium. But winning or losing was the last thing on everyone's mind in the England camp, for this game anyway, and they made full use of their last day in Mumbai on all counts.
After Graham Onions - just like James Anderson the previous evening - struck in his first over with the second new ball, the left-arm spin duo of Monty Panesar and Samit Patel didn't take long to dislodge the lower order; opener Nick Compton finally managed to occupy the crease for well over three hours - albeit against mediocre bowling; and, most importantly, Stuart Broad, who needed a scan on his heel on Sunday, was not just back on the field in the morning but also was cleared of a serious injury.
So, as the England camp wrapped up the first of their three Mumbai legs on the India tour, they would have been feeling slightly better than they were coming in to the game. Compton, who remained unbeaten on 64 when the teams shook hands, said there had been "a number of good performances" over the last week.
"[Alastair] Cook has got a hundred, [Jonny] Bairstow has got a hundred, Samit has batted consistently well," he said. "Panesar's bowling was accurate, exceptional. I do feel that some batsmen have played well and that does bode well."
After dismissing the remaining six Mumbai batsmen for 46 runs, England scored 149 for 2 in 52 overs - 22 of which were bowled by part-time bowlers. Compton, who was dismissed for 0 and 1 in his first two innings on tour, finally managed to get it right and helped raise England's highest opening partnership so far. Joe Root, who started off as impressively as in the first innings, fell shouldering arms to a Shardul Thakur delivery that came in and rapped him on the pads with the score on 38 but Compton carried on to get a more substantial feel of batting in Indian conditions.
And he was candid in admitting how difficult it is to concentrate on a day when there's nothing much at stake.
"Mentally it's quite challenging. It was a bit of a challenge when they brought on a couple of spinners who probably don't bowl that much in first-class cricket," Compton said. "But it's about having the right attitude in these situations, every single ball, every single minute is important. Especially for me, having missed out in the first game. It's more of a mental battle, getting back to run-scoring mode. The opposition wasn't brilliant at the end, but they bowled quite accurately in the first hour."
In the morning, Mumbai A's Hiken Shah, who began the day 16 runs shy of a deserved century, started off with two well-timed boundaries off Onions. However, the left-hander was then caught in two minds about whether to play at a ball that was going down leg and edged it to wicketkeeper Jonny Bairstow. Naturally, he was disappointed to have missed out on a hundred and stood his ground in disbelief before taking the long walk back. Panesar and Patel then made short work of the tail, picking off the last five Mumbai A wickets for 22 runs off 41 balls.

Military Mom Kathy Buckley a 'Hometown Hero'
When Kathy Buckley, of Melrose, started sending care packages to her two sons, both in the Army and deployed overseas, she realized how many soldiers miss out on some of the luxuries of home.
So 11 years ago, she took action and founded Military Mom in Action, an organization that collects items and donations to send packages to troops internationally.
As part of the "Hometown Heroes" series, we've partnered with County Waste and Latham Ford to celebrate local unsung heroes for their good deeds and honorable work.
We asked Buckley a few questions. Here's what she had to say:
Q: What inspired you to start sending care packages to the troops?
A: My two older sons being deployed and hearing about other soldiers not getting anything from home. David just got back from Afghanistan on his sixth deployment, he is 33. Daniel has been to Iraq and Germany. We've sent as many as 1,700 packages a month.
Q: What's the most rewarding thing about what you do?
A: I think it's the satisfaction to know that you've put a smile on somebody's face. They love just knowing that people back home, even if they're total strangers, are thinking about them and helping them, even in a small way.
Q: What are some challenges?
A: Volunteers-I usually get plenty of them and I couldn't do it without them. RIsing postage costs are a challenge, and not having enough time.
Q: Do you consider yourself a "hero?" Why or why not?
A: Not really. I just want to make a difference in somebody's life and if you consider that a hero, then so be it.

Press Release
GMHC Announces Anti-Homophobia Campaign, "I Love My Boo," to Be in NYC
Campaign Reaches Out to Black and Latino Gay Men
September 27, 2010
New York, N.Y. -- In conjunction to the 3rd annual National Gay Men's HIV/AIDS Awareness Day (9/27), GMHC announces its innovative campaign "I Love My Boo" campaign will be in 1,000 NYC subway cars and 150 subway platforms during the month of October.
"I Love My Boo" is a multifaceted social marketing campaign that thoughtfully increases the visibility of black and Latino gay men. This campaign educates the community at-large, and promotes acceptance and understanding in a climate where gay men of color are seldom represented favorably in the media. "The I Love My Boo" campaign speaks to, and celebrates, gay men of color by highlighting their strengths and resiliencies. Rather than only sexualizing gay relationships, with chiseled bodies and glossy imagery, the beauty of this campaign is that it features intimacy and focuses on what is possible for gay men of color as they express trust, respect and commitment for one another.
"This campaign reinforces GMHC's ongoing commitment -- since our earliest days -- in addressing homophobia and reducing the spread of HIV among gay men," said Marjorie Hill, PhD, Chief Executive Officer of GMHC. "The campaign directly challenges homophobia, and acknowledges the value of love, sex, desire, and relationships in the lives of gay men while encouraging dialogue."
Last week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) released a new analysis indicating that 1 in 5 gay and bisexual men in a study of 21 major U.S. cities is infected with HIV, and that nearly half of these men (44%) are unaware of their status. Of the gay men studied, young men, blacks and Latinos were least likely to be aware of their status. Other findings of the report underscore the racial disparities that exist among gay men, with black gay men most disproportionately affected by the virus, and higher rates of HIV prevalence among communities with lower rates of education and income.
GMHC continues to develop and advocate for innovative and expanded prevention approaches that:

Quick release to address a compatibility problem with Spamassassin 3.1.1:
- Ensure wrapped headers always use LF (fix for spamassassin 3.1.1)
- Mimic sendmail's Received header even better. Logs a warning

Lots of new features: Spam can be redirected to a separate email address. Arbitrary netblocks can be excluded from scanning. You can now pass custom arguments to spamc without recompiling. Sends extra headers to spamc to mimic the ones the local sendmail adds. The manpage should now be readable on all OSes. And some minor bugfixes concerning messages with no headers and localhost mail submission.

Squeaking in before the end of the year is 0.1.3a, which fixes a bug related to headerless messages. 0.1.3 will either hang or spin eating CPU, depending on your OS.

This release fixes a nasty message-corruption bug, cleans up header processing, and adds some command-line switches to block high-scoring messages, pass the recipient's name to spamc, and disable body/subject modification.

At long last!
This is mainly a "fix the killer bugs" release. There are still a lot of patches in the queue, but I wanted to get something out that package maintainers can use.

Just as a little reminder:
If you would like to contribute on a more or less regular basis, Dan might add you to the developers so you could help speeding up the development process. Just mail Dan and let him know which savannah login you got and that you wish to help developing spamass-milter.

As Michael has become too busy to maintain the milter, Georg has added me as another admin of the project.
I'll get all the pending patches applied and roll a new release as soon as possible. That should give RPM and Deb/BSD package maintainers something to build with, as well as let admins run a stable build without having to run CVS and apply a bunch of patches.
posted by greve, Wed 06 Mar 2002 01:13:03 PM UTC - 1 reply
Michael Brown will be taking over the spamass-milter project as the official maintainer from now on.
I'm very glad Michael volunteered for this task as I knew from the beginning that I wouldn't have time to do this myself. Having an active maintainer is important to make sure a project will remain useful to many.
Please direct all questions and emails to him from now on.

text: Hi all, While not a typical beowulf, I thought the list would have some input for this "storage cluster" or whatever we should call it :) I'm looking at getting some big storage. Of all the parameters, getting as low dollars/(month*GB) is by far the most important. The price of acquiring and maintaining the storage solution is the number one concern. The setup will probably have a number of "head nodes" which receive a large amount of data over standard gigabit from a large amount of remote sources. Data is read infrequently from the head nodes by remote systems. The primary load on the system will be data writes. The head nodes need not see the same unified storage; so I am not required to have one big shared filesystem. If beneficial, each of the head nodes could have their own local storage. The storage pool will start out at around 100TiB and will grow to ~1PiB within a year or two (too early to tell). It would be nice to use as few racks as possible, and as little power as possible :) It *might* be possible to offload older files to tape; does anyone have experience with HSM on Linux? Does it work? Could it be worthwhile to investigate? One setup I was looking at, is simply using SunFire X4500 systems (you can put 48 standard 3.5" SATA drives in each 4U system). Assuming I can buy them with 1T SATA drives shortly, I could start out with 3 systems (12U) and grow the entire setup to 1P with 22 systems in little over two full racks. Any better ideas? Is there a way to get this more dense without paying an arm and a leg? Has anyone tried something like this with HSM? Thanks all, your input will be greatly appreciated! :) -- / jakob

Fat bikes galore – Interbike 2013
Carbon fat bikes, carbon fat bike rims and electric fat bikes
Fat bikes are fertile ground for terrible puns: "a growing trend," "fat bikes gaining traction," "the inflated fat bike market." We could go on, but we won't.
It's clear that 2013 has been a breakout year for fat bikes. Salsa gave us a preview of its carbon Beargrease prototype and we've seen large players such as Specialized, Trek and Norco jump on the big tire bandwagon as well. At Interbike, this year's Outdoor Demo was filled with bikes shod in massive tires rumbling though the Nevada desert.
Felt took attendees by surprise with its "Fat-E" electric-assist fat bike prototype. A trend we saw from this year's Eurobike tradeshow was the incorporation of pedal assist technology into off-road capable models. Lapierre's Overvolt and Cube's Stereo Hybrid are two such bikes. Like these companies, Felt is incorporating electric assist technology from Bosch into several of its 2014 models, including the Fat-E prototype shown here. The bike has yet to be officially named and is slated for release in late 2014 or early.
Fatback, 9:ZERO:7 and Borealis all had new carbon fat bike frames on display in various stages of development. Borealis is venturing into new territory by developing double-walled carbon fat bike rims that, when set up tubeless, can shave as much as two pounds of rotating weight off the wheels — though there's a significant sting to one's wallet.
It appears that frame standards within the fat bike market are beginning to take hold: front axle spacing on many of the new models is set at 135mm, bottom bracket width is generally 100mm, and rear axle spacing appears to be settling on 190mm. Thru-axles are becoming more common, as are tapered forks. Several fat bike manufactures mentioned that they expect RockShox and X-Fusion to bring fat bike suspension forks to market in the near future, though neither company would comment on the possibility.
Click through the gallery at above right for a detailed look at these new fat bikes and components.

Free Download HDD Regenerator 1.71 Full Version
A high quality program that can cure bad sectors in hard drive. This system largely in a position to repair the logical problems, bodily issues, issues on the floor of the disc has a 60% probability of success. HDD Regenerator is a unique software program program for regeneration of hard disk drives. This system eliminates physical dangerous sectors on a hard disk drive surface. It doesn't conceal unhealthy sectors, it actually restores them!
Benefits Of HDD Regenerator
Hard disk drive is an integral part of every computer. It stores all your information. Probably the most ordinary defects of arduous drives is bad sectors at the disk surface. Unhealthy sectors are a part of the disk surface which accommodates not readable, however incessantly essential information. On account of bad sectors you may have problems to read and duplicate knowledge from your disk, your operating gadget becomes volatile and at last your computer could unable to boot altogether.
When a hard power is broken with unhealthy sectors, the disk no longer only becomes undeserving to be used, but in addition you threat shedding info stored on it. The HDD Regenerator 1.71 can repair broken onerous disks without affecting or altering current data. In consequence, beforehand unreadable and inaccessible data is restored.
Supported file Systems
The product works completely at physical level. It ignores file system and can be used with FAT, NTFS or any other file system, and in addition with unformatted or unpartitioned disks. Throughout regeneration, the disk construction is not going to be modified and the prevailing information will not be affected.
As the product doesn't change the logical construction of a hard disk drive, the file system might contain marked earlier unhealthy sector labels, even when the onerous disk is already regenerated and never broken by bad sectors.
How to start HDD Regenerator
In an effort to begin the product, double-click the HDD Regenerator icon in your desktop or select the HDD Regenerator icon from the Start menu. Should you use the unregistered model, you may regenerate only one recoverable unhealthy sector. The main function of the unregistered demo model is displaying a report that accommodates details about the likelihood to regenerate your disk via the registered full version. The registered version fastidiously scans the laborious disk drive floor and regenerates all discovered recoverable unhealthy sectors.
To begin the regenerating process begin the HDD Regenerator Console Application. You can begin the Console Software immediately from Home windows** (the "Regeneration | Start Process below Home windows" menu) or create a bootable regenerating flash (the "Regeneration | Create Bootable Flash" menu) or create a bootable regenerating CD/DVD (the "Regeneration | Create Bootable CD/DVD" menu). After the flash or CD is created, boot your computer from this flash/CD and the Console Software will begin automatically under DOS.
HDD Regenerator 1.71 can repair physical dangerous sectors brought on by magnetic errorson a hard drive surface. If the hard drive has a physical breakage (damagedheads, circuit board, etc.), then it is not going to be repaired by the product.
Sadly, the restore mode directly beneath Vista is not going to be efficient, you probably have only one exhausting drive on your Vista system. The reason is that HDD Regenerator requires exclusive entry to a tough drive underneath Vista. For apparent causes, the exclusive access cannot be obtained to the exhausting drive on which Vista OS is installed. That is associated to repair mode underneath Vista only. Scan mode does not require unique access to a drive. To acquire unique access to any laborious drive on any system, please use the Bootable Regenerating Flash or CD/DVD option.

John Brynjolfsson successfully has traded alternative real assets for more than 25 years. And, in 2009 he traded his career at PIMCO, Newport Beach, Calif., for his own firm, Armored Wolf, Orange County, Calif., which trades a global macro strategy emphasizing real assets. The unusual firm name is the translation of Brynjolfsson from the Icelandic Brynjólfur, or Brynjúlfur, or made of brynj-, from brynja "coat of mail, armor" and úlfur (-ólfur) "wolf."
Brynjolfsson's experience includes trading commodities, global inflation-linked bonds, event-linked catastrophe bonds, as well as asset allocation and risk management. We talked to him about trading, including the career move from a big traditional asset management firm to his own firm, along with his pursuit of alpha.
Futures Magazine: Your trading career cuts a broad swath across commodities, global inflation-linked and event-linked catastrophe bonds. This trading experience gives you a unique perspective on the markets. You spent 19 years launching and building PIMCO's Real Return platform from $0 to $80 billion in third-party assets, including launching and managing PIMCO's second, third and fourth largest public funds before establishing your own firm. Tell us about the evolution of your career as a trader and the various instruments in which you are expert.
John Brynjolfsson: Going back as long I can remember, certainly to my undergraduate and graduate school days, I've been driven deep down by answering the question "In what way can I best serve society?" My answer has been to be part of the infrastructure that allocates capital to its best and highest use.
Though my answer, allocating capital to its best and highest use, is somewhat abstract and impersonal, I think this desire to do good is a powerful motivator that has kept me engaged.
[At] the most superficial level, that function (allocating capital as an investment manager) might be most overt in areas like venture capital, stock picking or perhaps high-level asset allocation. [But] my quant training, and opportunities in the job market, convinced me that managing huge portfolios of fixed-income securities, and transforming risk in innovative ways using futures, derivatives, options and structured products, where often a basis point or two was material, was not just significant but the most, certainly in aggregate terms, socially redeeming role for me.
Fleshing this out, I've always been attracted to the challenge that the markets provide. There's a unique combination of big-picture thinking relating to politics, property rights, globalization, sentiment, macro flows and valuation, as well as bottom-up details, ranging from delivery specifications, contract construction and counterparty risk that all come together.
My career got a jump start when I got hired because of my quant background. I hold Math and Physics degrees, and was a MIT Finance PhD candidate, so I had the world of fixed income ahead of me. Ironically, I tried my best to distance myself from those aspects, though I was not entirely successful. My entrepreneurial instincts drove me to listen to clients and think about their needs.

CU-Boulder student leaders cap campaign spending, seek to curb 'pizza bribery'New rules aimed at leveling playing field for student electionsBy Brittany Anas Camera Staff WriterPosted: 12/27/2012 08:52:44 PM MSTUpdated: 12/28/2012 11:44:04 AM MSTIn past University of Colorado student-government election cycles, candidates have sometimes spent nearly $10,000 on campaigns, trading slices of pizza for votes, parading a pony around campus and trespassing in the dorms to direct freshmen to vote on their computers.Now, a series of election reforms being adopted by the CU Student Government are aimed at making elections more fair, addressing everything from "Facebook libel" to how much candidates can contribute to their own campaigns.Tyler Quick, a student government executive, fears that those from wealthy families have an advantage because they can essentially use their parents' money to buy the election, in part by using campaign cash to order enough pizza to feed the masses. He also worries the proliferation of laptops makes it easier than ever to quickly trade pizza or candy for uninformed votes, or for laptops or iPads to be passed around at fraternity or sorority gatherings during election week."The easiest way to get votes is to say, 'Hey if you vote for me, I'll give you a slice of pizza,'" Quick said. "Privilege should not determine the outcome of student elections. It should be about who is the best person for the job."Admittedly, Quick said, when his ticket was campaigning last year, it brought a pony to campus to garner attention. The parents of one of his running mates have a ranch, he said.CU's student government, with its budget topping $36 million, in ways is a microcosm of larger-scale national politics with concerns over campaign spending and attack ads spread via social media. But the new reforms, led in part by Quick, address some unique collegiate challenges.From here on out, there will be no campaigning in bars, or at parties, or anywhere for that matter where a reasonable person would observe that 75 percent of the potential voters are drunk or high on marijuana. No more "dorm-storming," which means candidates aren't allowed to sneak into dorms to campaign. And any attempt to hack into the iVote system that tracks student votes' is a highly punishable offense.This spring semester, a second round of reforms could be forthcoming.The election code reforms that already have been passed place limits on campaign spending -- for example, candidates for representative-at-large can't spend more than $200 on their own campaigns and executives are capped at $1,000.Butch Oxendine, executive director of the American Student Government Association, raises free-speech concerns over the spending limits. Oxendine -- a former press secretary for a student body president at the University of Florida -- recalls the campaign spending about $15,000 in 1983-84."I don't like the spending limits because it limits creativity in how you raise money. You can use your smarts and creativity to raise in-kind donations," he said.CU is not a part of the association, which is an umbrella group for student government organizations nationwide. The association has more than 1,160 member institutions.Light-hearted -- sometimes goofy -- campaign strategies long have been a part of student government, Oxendine said. He mentioned a student at North Carolina State University who dressed like a pirate -- and who consistently kept up the persona for the campaign -- was elected student body president in 2005.The association this spring will be researching the policies surrounding Facebook and student-government campaigns at schools across the country.

Keith Urban Wins Harmony Award From the Nashville Symphony
Keith Urban has yet another award to add to his trophy room. During a special ceremony over the weekend, the country crooner was honored with the Nashville Symphony's 2012 Harmony Award for his role in the ever-growing music scene in Music City.
Before the awards ceremony took place Saturday (Dec. 8), Urban chatted with Country Weekly about receiving the award.
"It shows the diversity of music in Nashville," he said. "I feel that Nashville is just opening up and letting the rest of the world know that this is Music City USA. We have the expansion of the Country Music Hall of Fame going on, a wonderful symphony, all styles of music happening here. Even our genre of country music is expanding exponentially. This award represents the synergy of all the music in Nashville and all of us coming together. I've always wanted to give back to the community after living here for so many years. This award is very important to me. It's very sweet."
The award comes at a good time for the 'You Gonna Fly' hitmaker. This year, Urban has made it clear to the press that despite signing on with 'American Idol,' music is still his first priority.
In 2013, he will release a new album, which he insists will sound unlike anything he's every done before. "We have cut a lot of songs already," Urban reveals. "I think this album will be very diverse. I'm looking for some different sounds and styles for this one."
He'll also kick off a new tour next year with openers Little Big Town and Dustin Lynch. Sounds like the next several months are going to be very busy for everyone's favorite New Zealand-born country star.

Quiet Riot Singer's Firing Kicks Off Nasty Facebook War
80′s rockers Quiet Riot have fired their most recent lead singer, Mark Huff, and hired Keith St. John (ex-Montrose) according to a statement issued by the band. This has led to a Facebook faceoff of sorts.
Huff, formerly of 5150, a Van Halen tribute band, posted the following message on his Facebook page, "As I sit in hospital… waiting for my brain surgery… I have been let go from Quiet Riot. And nobody's had balls to tell it to my face… I have to read the news in a post that's not even directed to me?… WTF?"
Round two had Quiet Riot drummer Frankie Banali, the band's only original member, hitting back, also via Facebook: "With regards to Mark Huff: My policy has always been not to air out the dirty laundry in public. That policy remains the same even in light of those who chose to make accusations. The fact is that Mr. Huff's medical condition had nothing to do with the decision that was made, though it is unfortunate that it comes at such a time. His wife assured me that Mark would be home this week, and as legal protocol dictated, a certified letter was sent informing Mark of the decision that was made and why it was made. The content of that letter is a private matter unless Mr. Huff decides to make the reason for his dismissal made public, which I believe would be counterproductive for him. I will not go tit for tat with this issue. If certain persons wish to villainize me, that is their prerogative."
Quiet Riot, who took their brand of pop metal to the top of the charts in the early 1980′s, lost their original vocalist, Kevin Dubrow, in 2005 when he died of a cocaine overdose. Huff became the band's lead singer in 2010.
Still in a, well…huff…Mark added, "Let me tell all my friends… don't count me out… watch what happens. It's obvious what I ever meant to this situation… I deserve better treatment… Don't worry about me… Worry about your own bad selves. And I am gonna take the high road… I have so much shit I could speak… Stay tuned, my friends."
Apparently metal health will indeed drive you mad!

HERNDON, Va., Jan. 22 (UPI) -- Having met with Afghan President Hamid Karzai in Washington to work out the post-2014 mission for U.S. troops in Afghanistan, U.S. President Barack Obama could learn a lesson from the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein.
In September 1980, Saddam attacked Iran but was soon driven back into Iraq. The Iranians were determined to fight their way to Baghdad. After numerous military setbacks, several Iraqi generals gathered their courage to tell Saddam his interfering with military planning denied them the ability to fight the war effectively. While picturing himself a grand strategist, Saddam lacked military training -- being rejected by the military academy years earlier.
Not a military professional, Saddam "played" one -- his "expertise" established by having appointed himself a general after taking to power in 1979. Saddam accepted his generals' advice, enabling them to stop Iran's advance. While the Iran-Iraq war then turned into a World War I Maginot Line-like stalemate, ultimately ending in a negotiated settlement in 1988, Saddam avoided defeat by having heeded them, recognizing the importance of doing so.
With a U.S. force drawdown in Afghanistan possibly being advanced to this spring, there is a direct correlation between U.S. troop numbers and assets needed to be left behind and the ability of Afghan troops to maintain security on their own. This end turns on fostering Afghan nationalism over cultural tribalism which, in turn, is dictated by the U.S. post-withdrawal mission. Ignoring this correlation guarantees the Talibanization of Afghanistan.
Obama says the mission focuses solely on counter-terrorism operations and training of Afghan security forces. This has raised a range of proposals -- from an advisory group of no more than 2,500 troops to a reactionary force of up to 30,000 capable of assisting Afghan forces with air support. The range reflects a significant decrease from the current 66,000 force level.
Although U.S. combat operations have been scaled down with Afghans leading most, their effectiveness has been reduced as well.
The worst decision of the Afghan war made to date by Obama was letting the Taliban know the U.S. commitment to Kabul was on a December 2014 timeline. This allowed the enemy to wait the Americans out and discouraged locals from assisting U.S. forces fearing Taliban reprisals post-U.S. withdrawal.
The second worst decision Obama could make is choosing the 2,500-man "minimal" option above. A smaller U.S. footprint encourages Taliban activity and is an admission of U.S. defeat as it does little to ensure stability. The minimal option also raises the question, "why even put another U.S. life at risk by leaving just 2,500 troops in harm's way for a cause we are admitting has been lost?"
While White House civilian advisers press the president to pursue the minimal option, Obama's generals press for a stronger commitment to show Afghan allies the United States isn't abandoning them as the Americans did in Vietnam almost four decades earlier.
If, as Obama states, he seeks to bring the Afghan war to a "responsible end," the minimal option isn't the solution. Indications are, however, it is Obama's.
During his Washington visit, Karzai complained a continuing U.S. presence threatens Afghanistan's independence. Additionally, contrary to the opinions of U.S. military leaders, Karzai assured Obama Afghan forces are ready to replace U.S. forces.
As was the case when Washington and Baghdad went through the same dance trying to determine the mission and size of a U.S. post-withdrawal footprint, a grant of immunity from prosecution for U.S. forces operating in the host country was first necessary. When no such agreement was reached, the U.S. declined to leave troops behind subject to Iraqi prosecution. Iraqi troops were much better trained and more cohesive than Afghan troops are today.
Thus, there is a greater need exists for a U.S. post-withdrawal mission in Afghanistan than in Iraq. (A Shiite-majority state, Iraq ultimately was influenced by Shiite-majority Iran to deny U.S. troop immunity.)
It is worrisome Karzai suggests a post-withdrawal U.S. presence threatens Afghan independence and Afghans are prepared now to move more quickly in taking over responsibility for the war effort.
While the immunity issue is yet to be resolved, Karzai suggests he will "go to the Afghan people and argue" in its favor.
However, one doesn't sense Karzai offers to do so with great efficacy. As it is well known Afghanistan's president accepted cash payments from Iran previously, one cannot help but wonder whether money will cause him to surrender the stability afforded by a post-withdrawal U.S. presence in his country. If Karzai proves unable to "argue" immunity for U.S. troops, treason may be the real culprit.
Both Obama and Karzai are dancing around the issue of a post-2014 U.S. presence and its size. Karzai suggested, "Numbers are not going to make a difference to the situation in Afghanistan." He is wrong. Leaving vague military support and tribal culture issues brings to mind George Orwell's observation, "The great enemy of clear language is insincerity."
Thousands of U.S. lives were lost bringing democracy into Iraq; a subsequent U.S. withdrawal left a vacuum filled by Iran. While the Iran-Iraq Shiite link provided common ground for Iran's influence, no such link exists with Sunni-majority Afghanistan where thousands more U.S. lives similarly were sacrificed to introduce democracy. What a national tragedy for both the U.S. and Afghanistan that, as U.S. troops depart through the front door, Karzai may leave the back door open for Iran.
Accordingly, Obama's military advisers caution against both an early withdrawal and a smaller post-2014 footprint in Afghanistan, should immunity be granted. Karzai's god is money; therefore, it might be wise to tie reduced Afghan funding to his rejection of immunity or a larger footprint. Why throw good money after bad if our post-withdrawal actions acknowledge Afghanistan is a lost cause?
When threatened with defeat on the battlefield, Saddam logically chose to heed his warfighters. In rushing to end America's longest war, Obama must heed his, less defeat in Afghanistan loom, like a vulture, on the distant horizon.

Report: Clover woman bit man's chest, punched another man's eye
Deputies charged a Clover woman with assault after they say she bit a man on his chest, punched a second man in his eye and then told authorities that she wished she had hit him harder Sunday, according to police documents.
Deputies at about 3 a.m. were sent to a Forest Music Drive home, near Filbert Highway, after receiving calls about a fight, according to a York County Sheriff's report. When they arrived, they found Kelly Nicole Ellis, 30, fighting with another woman, 26, on the living room floor. Officers separated both women and detained them.
A man, 41, told deputies Ellis punched him in the eye, the report states. A second man, 35, claimed that Ellis bit him on the left side of his chest. When deputies questioned Ellis about the man she punched in the eye, she told them she wished she hit him harder. Deputies arrested Ellis and charged her with third-degree assault and battery.
"All parties involved," deputies wrote in the report, "were extremely intoxicated."

Mission Statement and Goals

La Cañada Flintridge has seen a nearly 40% increase in burglaries compared to last year, and city officials believe statewide changes to the justice system are to blame.
On Monday, Crescenta Valley Sheriff's Capt. Dave Silversparre reported 17 burglaries in November, bringing the 2012 tally to 116. In the first 11 months of 2011 the city saw 84 burglaries, while there were 77 burglaries in the first 11 months of 2010.
Silversparre told the City Council that overall felonies are down in La Cañada Flintridge, with 300 in the first 11 months of 2012 compared to 319 at this time in both 2011 and 2010.
City Manager Mark Alexander said the city is concerned that "realignment," a plan put in motion by Gov. Jerry Brown to spring nonviolent parolees early and release some felony convicts to county jails in order to ease overcrowding in state prisons, is behind the spike in property crimes.
Officials in several cities that contract with the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department for police services believe realignment is a problem, he added.
"There's a consensus among city managers in the San Gabriel Valley and South Bay that this increase in property crimes around L.A. County dates to when early release went into effect," Alexander said. He said La Cañada and other contract cities would push the sheriff's department to look at the issue.
"Logic would dictate that when state prison prisoners are shuffled to jails, the jails have to make room," he said. "They're releasing nonviolent offenders, which generally tend to be your drug users that are going out committing property crimes to fund their drug use."
Silversparre said available statistics don't prove that offenders who were released early are driving the numbers.
"It is not known if these people were released under that program," he said. "The stats are not available to say that this is specifically from the [realignment] program."
La Cañada is home to four early-release parolees, but none are suspects in the crimes committed in the city, said Silversparre.
Silversparre said that of the department's 12 arrests for burglaries thus far this year, at least one suspect was on parole. It is not clear, Silversparre said, whether that suspect was part of the early-release program.
The busiest month for burglaries in La Cañada so far this year was May, with 19. Realignment began in October 2011.
Silversparre said that the sheriff's department is tracking statistics countywide to see if there is a correlation between realignment and increased property crimes.
Mayor Steve Del Guercio said that as all of the known suspects in this year's burglaries have come from outside La Cañada, deputies are relying on residents to call in suspicious or unusual activity.
"No doubt we're under attack from outside influences, we can look at the data," he said. "The sheriff's department wants you to call [and] let them figure it out."

No no no. It's not like Bedford AT ALL. That's what's GOOD about it. It's about as unslick as you could imagine. It's more like, say, Christiana in Copenhagen. Or the 1990s squatter district in Hamburg. (Except this being America, where there's no Left, it's not explicitly Leftist.)
Pass the mushrooms. Christiana, I don't know, but a district of Hamburg? As far as I know, he's only referring to the block or two between the Morgan Ave Bogart Street exit and Roberta's. Perhaps the gaggle of hipsters outside the deli, or the mobile vintage clothes truck, or the odd sign pointing towards a shoe outlet somewhere conjure the image of exciting galleries and artists' squats just around the corner.
But if you do go around the corner, and the next corner, there's nothing there. Okay, admittedly there are circles of artists and pseudo-artists in the neighborhood, going to each others' parties and putting on the odd pop-up exhibition and happening. But nobody walking around the neighborhood - and not knowing people - is going to come across that scene.
I'd really like to know just precisely where and what the attractions of Bushwick are. All welcome!

Mark Doty has won a long list of awards, including the National Book Award for Poetry. In addition he was the first American awarded Britain's T.S. Eliot Prize for Poetry. Doty, the author of more than a dozen books of poetry and memoir, was slated to speak on Saturday at the Modern Language Association's annual convention in Boston.
BOOKS: What are you reading currently?
DOTY: A heartbreaking biography about the painter David Wojnarowicz, "Fire in the Belly," by Cynthia Carr. It's a grueling book because he had a short, painful life.
BOOKS: Do you read a lot of biographies?
DOTY: I like reading biographies because of my perpetual curiosity about the lives of others. I especially like reading about the lives of artists. I'm interested in the way people exist in a creative life, or fail to.
BOOKS: What are some of your favorites?
DOTY: Paul Zweig's "Walt Whitman: The Making of a Poet." I think it is the best book on Whitman around. Also a great book about Hart Crane, "Voyager," by John Unterecker. It's a little out of date in its psychological approach, but it's so beautifully written. I just got a biography about the artist John Mitchell, whose work I love. I'm really excited about that. I am also reading lots of books of poetry because I'm judging a competition that will remain nameless.
BOOKS: You do that pretty regularly, don't you?
DOTY: I do. I just edited "The Best American Poetry 2012." I was excited to do that and also dreaded the process because I thought, "How can I read that many poems?'' And in reality no one can read every poem published in America in a year. In the end, I read about 5,000.
BOOKS: What kind of books do you recommend to your students at Rutgers University?
DOTY: There will be one for a while that I want everyone to read like "The Kingdom of Ordinary Time" by Marie Howe or Frank Bidart's "Desire," and then it will shift.
BOOKS: What else do you like to read?
DOTY: Natural history that is well written. My favorite example of that currently is "The Peregrine," by J.A. Baker, who spent a couple seasons closely watching peregrine falcons. Like all great natural history, it starts shading into philosophy. And I read novels for relaxation.
BOOKS: What kind of novels?
DOTY: I read favorite people like Alan Hollinghurst, Zadie Smith, and Ed White.
BOOKS: But you don't read poetry to relax?
DOTY: Poetry wants you to wake up and pay attention. I don't read poetry before falling asleep because I'll get too energized. There is something about the spell of narrative that you can just float in a novel in a way that is soothing.
BOOKS: What's on your to-read list?
DOTY: In addition to the Mitchell biography, I got this beautiful edition of "Urne-Buriall" by Sir Thomas Browne, the wonderful, metaphysical 17th-century writer, who I haven't read since college.
BOOKS: When you were realizing you were gay, did any books play an important role?
DOTY: James White's "The Salt Ecstasies," which was published in 1982. Here's a man speaking nakedly about his desire, his loneliness, his wish to be transformed by death. His poems were so naked and alive on the page. That taught me a lot about being faithful to your inner life.
BOOKS: What kind of role did reading play in your childhood given your family moved so often?
DOTY: I went to seven different schools by high school. My classmates had often known each other since the dawn of time. Not only was I the new kid, but I wore glasses, had a Southern accent, and was chubby. I was so much closer and more intimate with the characters in books than with the people I knew. This was especially true with books about animals, such as Rudyard Kipling's "The Jungle Book," or "Rikki-Tikki-Tavi." With books, the door was always open. They always have to let you in.Got suggestions for future Bibliophiles? Find us on Facebook or follow us @GlobeBiblio on Twitter.

text: F1 boss Bernie Ecclestone believes staging the race would be 'beneficial in bridging difficulties' [GETTY] Formula One is showing no signs of slamming the brakes on plans to race in Bahrain in April despite continuing violence in the Gulf kingdom a year on from a forcibly-suppressed uprising. Both the governing International Automobile Federation (FIA) and commercial supremo Bernie Ecclestone made clear after Tuesday's anniversary was met with tear gas and petrol bombs that the fourth race of the season remained on track. "The FIA, like many in the diplomatic community in the kingdom, the main political opposition...believes the staging of a Grand Prix would be beneficial in bridging some of the difficulties Bahrain is experiencing," said an FIA spokesman on Wednesday. "The FIA is not in a position to influence political matters in a sovereign country such as Bahrain and we can only wish for a long-term peaceful solution." Influence Bahrain has considerable clout in F1 circles, with the country's sovereign wealth fund major shareholders in the McLaren team while Sheikh Abdulla bin Isa al-Khalifa heads the FIA's karting commission and sits on the world body's 26-man motor sport council. Ecclestone, whose Formula One Management is estimated to receive $40 million a year from Bahrain as the fee to host the race, and FIA president Jean Todt are also on that decision-making council. The grand prix is the biggest sporting event hosted by Bahrain and one that gives the country global television exposure. Bahrain became the first country in the Middle East to have a Formula One race when it made its debut in 2004 but last year's grand prix was postponed and then cancelled due to the unrest. Both Ecclestone and the FIA fought a long and ultimately failed battle to keep it on the 2011 calendar and swiftly reinstated it for this year despite calls from rights campaigners for it to be dropped. Divided opinion Two groups of British parliamentarians have written letters to the Times newspaper in the past week arguing for and against the race, while Britain's 1996 F1 champion Damon Hill has spoken out in favour of a return to Bahrain. Armoured vehicles patrolled the capital Manama on Tuesday in a security clampdown after youths threw petrol bombs at police, who fired tear gas at protesters. It was the first time since martial law was lifted in June, after protests that killed at least 35 people, that armoured personnel carriers had re-appeared on the streets. "I don't think it's anything serious at all. It doesn't change our position in any shape or form," Ecclestone told the Guardian newspaper of the continuing unrest that he described as "a lot of kids having a go at the police". "If the people (rulers) in Bahrain say 'Look Bernie, it wouldn't be good for you to come over here', then I would think again. That is what they said last year. "I am in regular touch with the Bahrain government and they would tell me if we shouldn't be there." Formula One teams have said they are concerned with the situation but trust Ecclestone and the FIA to make the right decisions. "If they think it is the right thing to go then we will definitely go there," Sauber's Indian-born CEO Monisha Kaltenborn said earlier this month. This year's race is on April 22 and follows immediately on from China, creating a logistical dilemma for the Formula One circus with teams and media having to book flights back from Shanghai via Manama without knowing for sure whether the grand prix will happen.
