We leave genetic traces of ourselves wherever we go -- in a strand of hair left on the subway or in saliva on the side of a glass at a cafe.
So you may want to think twice the next time you spit out your gum or drop a cigarette butt in public.
New York artist Heather Dewey-Hagborg might pick it up, extract the DNA and create a 3-D face that could look like you. Her project, "Stranger Visions," fashions portrait sculptures from bits of genetic material collected in public places.
"The idea for the project came from this fascination with a single hair," Dewey-Hagborg told CNN. "This turned into a research project for me exploring exactly what I could discover about someone from an artifact they left behind."
Her process starts with finding a sample in a public place -- a strand of hair, a cigarette butt or a chewed piece of gum -- anything that might contain cells from a person's body.
"You want something that is relatively fresh," she said. "Nothing that has been stepped on or that looks like it's been sitting around for ages."
Dewey-Hagborg takes the sample to a community biotechnology lab in Brooklyn called Genspace. There she uses a standard DNA extraction protocol to mine the DNA, purify it and use it in polymerase chain reactions. The technical process is outlined on her blog.
"From a cigarette butt, I can learn where someone's ancestors likely came from, their gender, eye color, hair color, complexion, freckles, their tendency to be overweight and a handful of dimensions of the face as well with a certain likelihood," she said.
Once she obtains the sequencing information, she takes the traits she's gathered from the individual's DNA and feeds it into a computer program to generate a 3-D model of a face.
"The way that I use code is a lot like how a sketch artist would use a pencil," she said. "I'll take the code, and then I'll generate different versions of a face. I'll use the code to enhance certain facial features or decrease them based on what I find in the DNA."
It takes about eight hours to print one of Dewey-Hagborg's faces in 3-D at NYU's Advanced Media Studio. Once it's printed in what looks like a block of powder, the face is dug out, baked and hardened with a superglue-like substance.
But there are limitations. The faces are not exact replicas of the stranger who left the DNA behind. Dewey-Hagborg considers it more of a family resemblance.
"It's important to understand that these portraits are a general likeness. They're not exact reconstructions," she said. "They'll have things in common with the person, but they won't look exactly like the person."
She is also unable to determine ages from the DNA samples. So all of her faces look around 30.
Dewey-Hagborg started the "Stranger Visions" project with her own self-portrait about two years ago.
"Even though I was the one developing the code and training the system, I wasn't really sure how much it would end up looking like me," she said. "I was particularly impressed with how much the overall facial shape resembled me."
Reaction to the project has been mostly positive, although some observers feel her work raises thorny ethical questions.
"This is very creepy," wrote a commenter on a Smithsonian blog post. "We need to pursue our privacy post haste, if this is what is available to the public."
Dewey-Hagborg said she understands that some people could be put off by the portraits or consider them an intrusion of privacy. But that's also the point. She wants her work to raise questions about genetic surveillance and privacy issues.
"If people find it to be a little creepy, that's OK," she said. "It's meant to make you aware of these issues and make you aware that this is possible."
After all, "Stranger Visions" is an art project. And most conceptual art produces more questions than answers.
"It's meant to be an exploration at the intersection of art and technology and science," she said. "And it's meant to be a provocation."

Wales 16-9 France, Six Nations
Wales secure historic Grand Slam
ESPNscrum Staff
March 17, 2012
Alex Cuthbert goes over for his score

Wales secured their third Grand Slam in eight years with a 16-9 win over France in Cardiff on Saturday.
Alex Cuthbert's first-half try along with the boot of Leigh Halfpenny and Rhys Priestland proved to be enough for Warren Gatland's side to edge out a bullish French side and avenge their agonising World Cup semi-final loss in Auckland last October.
Les Bleus could not contain a tide of irresistible Welsh fervour, passion and emotion at the Millennium Stadium, an atmosphere that proved a fitting tribute to the late, great Mervyn Davies, Wales' 1976 Grand Slam captain, who died on Thursday. France suffered only a second Six Nations defeat in Cardiff as Wales only occasionally showed signs of nerves or tension that could easily have gripped a team containing seven players aged 24 and under.
Davies would have applauded some of the rugby Wales produced, a wonderfully refreshing approach that reaped a stunning solo try for wing Alex Cuthbert after 21 minutes, while fullback Leigh Halfpenny took his Six Nations points tally this season to 66 with three penalties and a conversion. France huffed and puffed in an attempt to spoil the party, and they had their moments, but penalties by half-backs Dimitri Yachvili (two) and Lionel Beauxis were not quite enough as Halfpenny's 76th-minute strike settled it.
A third Grand Slam in eight seasons matches the achievement of Wales' 1970s golden era teams and guaranteed folklore status for Gatland's thrillingly-talented generation. But the ambitious New Zealander, a red-hot favourite to be installed as British and Irish Lions coach next month for the 2013 Australia tour, will set bigger targets.
Wales have a three-Test trip to Australia ahead this summer, then face a November appointment with world champions New Zealand in Cardiff, and it is against heavyweight southern hemisphere opposition that Gatland knows his squad will ultimately be judged. They have taken Europe by storm, though, and the upward curve continues under Gatland, one which he hopes will take them all the way to World Cup 2015 in England as major contenders.
Skipper Sam Warburton returned for only his third start in this season's tournament after being sidelined by thigh and knee injuries, which meant no place for Justin Tipuric, who impressed on his first Test start against Italy last weekend. France, having seen their title hopes ruined by a failure to beat Ireland and England at home, showed five changes, while hooker William Servat and flanker Julien Bonnaire made their final appearances before international retirement.
Wales made the initial running, establishing a foothold deep inside France's half as they looked to unleash strong ball-carriers like Cuthbert and outstanding flanker Dan Lydiate. There was an impressive commitment and organisation about the French defence, though, and they dug themselves out of trouble to allow Yachvili an 11th-minute penalty chance that he accepted.
Rhys Priestland hit the post with an equalising penalty chance four minutes later - he was handed the opportunity while Halfpenny received treatment - but Wales stormed ahead midway through an entertaining half. The home side snuffed out a dangerous French attack, moved upfield at pace, and then after spinning possession wide, Cuthbert angled his way to the line after a 30-metre run when he beat three French defenders. It was a memorable score - Wales' 10th of the Six Nations by their much-vaunted back division - and Halfpenny's conversion put them 7-3 in front.
Halfpenny then added a penalty eight minutes before the break as Wales threatened to hit their straps, and France were forced into a change when injured fullback Clement Poitrenaud was replaced by Test debutant Jean-Marcel Buttin. Wales continued to look comfortably the more threatening team with ball in hand, yet they could not increase their advantage, having to settle for a 10-3 interval lead after an angled Halfpenny strike bounced back off the post.
Warburton's tournament ended at half-time when he was forced off due to a shoulder injury. Ryan Jones, Wales' 2008 Grand Slam skipper, replaced him, packing down at number eight as Toby Faletau took on openside duties.
Prop Gethin Jenkins, Wales captain against Italy, again led the team in Warburton's absence, yet it meant the revered World Cup leader had played just 160 minutes of a possible 400 in this season's Six Nations.
Wales appeared unsettled by Warburton's early exit, and a Beauxis penalty after 45 minutes cut the gap to four points, prompting Les Bleus' best attacking spell of the game when they stretched their opponents in all directions. But Wales somehow kept their line intact, and when Halfpenny booted a monster penalty from 51 metres - evoking memories of the one he missed by inches in the World Cup semi-final - it restored a seven-point advantage.
The final 10 minutes were inevitably fraught from a Welsh perspective, yet they kept their composure and held on with Yachvili and Halfpenny exchanging penalties before the mother of all rugby parties could commence.

Marie has graduated from high school! Graduation is like a milepost passed by along the pathway of life. Marie's graduation class started out with 13 students 12 years ago and ended with 11 students graduating. The 2012 graduation class was the smallest ever at Avon, Ill. There were 33 in my graduation class of 1982 (30 years ago). Being part of a small class makes it easier to become a scholarship recipient. Marie received several scholarships to assist her in furthering her education. The classes' future plans are grouped into thirds; 1/3 will continue their education at a university, 1/3 will attend trade school like diesel mechanic/welder/X-ray technician and 1/3 has little direction due to laziness or criminal activity.
Marie plans to pursue a career in agriculture, which is something Carol and I encourage. She has received a full tuition and book scholarship at a junior college on the east side of Illinois in exchange for her being on their livestock judging team. (Livestock judging is a competitive sport where students rank pens of livestock in order from best to worst. There are usually four animals of all meat type livestock species including goats in each pen. The "official" placing is usually determined by a couple of professors.) After attending junior college she plans to attend a major university like University of Illinois and obtain a degree in agriculture. She also won a couple of state scholarships. Marie is like Carol and I — average intelligence with above-average effort. She does present her thoughts well in speaking and writing while applying great effort to whatever she does.
Marie had a fun graduation party, which was the fruit of her and Carol's labor. I was too busy doing farm things to help out much with the party preparations that started in early March. A rented tent kept the sun off us while eating beef and drinking tea. Marie's high school ag teacher made her a cake shaped like a Hereford heifer using sugar that I had taken off an overweight railroad car, which made me very happy.
Attending Marie's party were mostly guests with an agricultural connection to Marie like neighboring farmers, people from far away who Marie met at cattle events, longtime family friends of Carol or I which are in the ag industry, and a couple of dozen family members. Our neighbor Bud (wearing maroon shirt) is a very well-respected Angus breeder in Illinois who has encouraged Marie and had a wonderful time talking about Angus cattle at Marie's party. Bud liked our new Angus cow sign on the barn. At the round table are my parents on the left and my sister in the pink shirt sitting next to her husband.
The day before the party we planted soybeans into the tan-colored rye stubble field. The day after the party we received an inch of rain. Look closely above the cab of the tractor to notice two shades of green corn. The difference in the shade of green is a hybrid difference. Or, if you do not want to look closely the obvious observation would be how green and robust the corn looks. This field is located directly across from our house and it is what I look at while drinking my morning coffee.

It all started with a crash.
In early May, I was at Castello di Casole, a gorgeous, hilly estate in Tuscany, Italy, with a group of journalists. On our first full day at the property, we ventured to the estate's main building to pick up our rented Vespas. The plan: to take our scooters up to Montefioralle Castle, a picturesque village nearby. My mission: to not kill myself on my first Vespa ride.
I'll save you the drama: I did not kill myself, but I lasted only 10 seconds. After gunning the Vespa and zipping out of the little shed where it was housed — which was on gravel, I might add — I slammed on the brakes, effectively crashing my Vespa into the rocks while simultaneously jumping off the bike. I was bruised, the scooter was dented. My Vespa-driving dreams were dashed.
After my crash — which earned me the nickname "Crash Mayhem" for the duration of the trip — the poor scooter was relegated to the shed. My three-day Vespa rental had cost me $20 euro per second. Sunk cost, I thought; better than a busted head. And so I found myself on the back of photographer Paul Alexander's bike for our ride through the hills.
I'm happy to report that Tuscany — from any which way you ride the scooter — is spectacular, especially when you're staying at a stunning private Exclusive Resorts residence (exclusiveresorts.com). Exclusive, a company that offers its roughly 3,500 members access to more than 70 luxurious homes around the world, had invited us to experience Italy their way, which is to say: pampered. I was eager to see what it's like to stay not in a hotel, but in a large private home with an infinity pool, its own pizza "forno" oven and an on-site concierge — for obvious reasons, but also because roughly half of Exclusive's 150 Canadian members are from Calgary. They are an elite bunch, as the destination club membership is not for everyone.
In May, Exclusive Resorts launched a new membership package tailored to Canadians; members pay a one-time fee of $215,000, plus annual dues of approximately $22,000, for 20 days of travel that include Canadian Thanksgiving and spring break. When I asked Dan Zuch, senior vice-president with Exclusive, why so many Calgarians joined the club — years before the new package was even offered — he cited a few reasons: early adopters spread the word through the tight-knit, not to mention wealthy, city; Calgary is cold "nine months out of the year" (no argument here) and people like to escape to warmer climes; and, in the winter, the city's ski-lovers venture to Exclusive's ski properties, such as Vail, Colo., and Whistler, B.C. "Our Canadian members are a bit more adventurous, in terms of desiring more custom-curated adventure, more exotic destinations related to exploring, mountains and nature," he said.
Which brings us back to Tuscany and our group's adventures. Home base was our stunning four-bedroom home — just one of many private residences on the estate. Upon arrival, our kitchen was stocked with wine, coffee and some of our favourite foods. Prior to the trip, I had mentioned my allergy to some nuts to the Exclusive ambassador who called me to discuss my likes and dislikes — this is the standard service for all members; ambassadors cover everything from trip details to custom-planned adventures — but said I was able to eat peanut butter, not wanting to cause a fuss. In the cupboard of our large, gorgeous kitchen: my own jar of peanut butter, plus food products labelled as nut-free or not. The incredible service continued throughout the week, with lovely Italian women coming over in the evenings to show us how to make ravioli, pizza and more.
Our days were spent poolside or taking day trips to nearby cities, such as Siena and Florence. Coming home every night to our very own home in the hills was like coming home to heaven. The fact that we were travelling by van — Vespas parked safely in shed — made it all the better for this weary scooter traveller.
More Luxury Travel News
Mr. & Mrs. Smith, a long-standing hotel-booking website with a curated selection of luxurious boutique hotels around the world, recently launched in Canada. For 10 years, James Lohan and Tamara Heber-Percy — the couple behind the brand (not the Smiths, funnily enough) — have been anonymously reviewing unique hotels and curating them for a clientele that values trendy, upscale spots to rest their heads. Now, thanks to the recent launch, Canadians on the hunt for cool hotels will also be able to book in Canadian prices.
As someone who prefers boutique hotels, I was thrilled to stay at two Mr. & Mrs. Smith locales in Rome: Hotel Babuino 181 and Palazzo Manfredi. The first was a contemporary, clean and cool spot just off of Via del Corso, the bustling street known for great shops and restaurants. The second was an intimate 15th-century palazzo with just 15 rooms and a restaurant with the most epic view in Rome: the Colosseum. The Palazzo staff treated me like gold, having left chilled champagne and snacks in my room, given me tips on running routes and made me dinner reservations at incredible eateries off the frequented tourist paths. The experience taught me two things: Curated travel is the way to go; and Lohan and Heber-Percy have a sweet gig.

- Capital One Cup
Laudrup: Hazard will regret ballboy kick
Swansea manager Michael Laudrup said he expected Eden Hazard would regret kicking a ballboy in an incident which resulted in the Chelsea midfielder's red card overshadowing Swansea's progress to the Capital One Cup final.
Hazard was sent off by referee Chris Foy in the second half after he appeared to try and kick the ball from underneath a ballboy who was laid prone on the ground.
Chelsea players reacted angrily when Hazard saw red, believing he had tried to get the ball loose to re-start play as the Blues failed to make any inroads on Swansea's 2-0 advantage from the first leg.
"Demba Ba told me the ballboy held onto it,'' Williams told Sky Sports. "I saw him kick him in the rib and you can't do that to a young boy.''
Manager Laudrup believes that the Belgian will regret his action. "I saw it from a very big distance from the bench,'' he said. "I've since seen it after the game. Hazard is a great player. When he sees the images I think he will regret it.''
Laudrup denied the club had given the ballboys instructions to hold onto the ball when it went out of play.
"No, no. Definitely not,'' he said. "I think he was pushed and on top of the ball. I can understand all the frustrations when you are behind.''
The Dane described the upcoming final against Bradford - whose giant-killing run has seen them beat Premier League opposition in Wigan, Arsenal and Aston Villa - as a fairytale for both clubs.
"Nobody had thoughts about finals. Now we are there,'' he said. "This final is between the small fairytale and the huge fairytale. If we are the small fairytale what can you say about Bradford?''
Laudrup, in his first season at the Liberty Stadium, was full of praise for his players as they heaped more pressure on Chelsea's interim boss Rafael Benitez, who has now gone out of three competitions since taking charge.
"What can I say? Over two legs we just beat the European champions from last season without conceding a goal,'' Laudrup said. "It was a game I expected. We had possession but they had moments where we had to defend deep.
"We came well into the game. We had the first two good chances with Wayne Routledge and the best one for Michu which [Petr] Cech saved. That gave me the confidence that we were on the right track.''
Despite all the talk of Hazard, Swansea will play in their first major cup final in their centenary year and Williams preferred to focus on the result which secured Swansea a final date with League Two Bradford at Wembley next month.
"At times tonight it was like a bar fight especially when they were pushing on,'' he said. "The team defended brilliantly. That's what we worked on. We wanted to bring them back here and score a goal and keep a clean sheet. We didn't score but we kept a clean sheet.''

About Methanol. Methanol (also known as Methyl Alcohol and Wood Alcohol) is an important chemical commonly used as a solvent, as a starting material in the production of chemicals (e.g., formaldehyde, MTBE, acetic acid, etc.) and in the fuels sector. In recent years, technologies that have developed using Methanol as the main raw material include Methanol-to-Gasoline (MTG), Methanol-to-Olefins (MTO) and Methanol-to-Propylene (MTP) processes.
Chart Description. The chart above presents indicative transaction prices for bulk quantities of methanol for the countries listed below.
- Brazil: import price, CIF (last month is preliminary)
- Netherlands: export price, FOB (recent three months are preliminary)

The defense attorney for Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the soldier charged Friday with 17 counts of murder, has said the military lacks much of the physical evidence necessary to establish a solid case against his client. But prosecutors say there is ample evidence: surveillance video, shell casings and more. NBC's Jim Miklaszewski reports.
"We don't have a particularly bloodthirsty military justice program," said Eugene Fidell, the co-founder of the National Institute of Military Justice who teaches at Yale Law School.
Staff Sgt. Robert Bales charged with 17 counts of murder in Afghanistan massacre
There are currently six men on death row in the military's only maximum security prison -- euphemistically called the "Disciplinary Barracks" -- here on Fort Leavenworth. But the last execution was carried out in 1961, when an Army ammunition handler was hanged there for raping an 11-year-old girl in Austria.
It's been so long, in fact, that the military prison no longer has the equipment needed to execute a prisoner. Instead, the sentence would be carried out at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh was executed. The current method is lethal injection; the Leavenworth military prison had an electric chair when that was the method, but it was never used.
Women are going online to show their compassion for the wife of the Army staff sergeant who has been charged with 17 counts of murder. NBC's Miguel Almaguer reports.
None of those currently on death row were convicted of crimes on the battlefield against foreign civilians; all were convicted of murders of U.S. civilians or fellow military personnel.
Death toll in Afghanistan massacre climbs to 17
The next step in the process is what's called an Article 32 investigation, which will determine if the case should go to trial (which would be a court martial), and if so, what specific charges should be brought (they can be different from the charges originally filed), and if they should carry the possibility of the death penalty.
Analysts say that process will not be quick.
"I would expect that in a complicated case like this, it would be several months before we would see an Article 32 investigation," said Victor Hansen, a retired Army lawyer who now teaches at New England Law in Boston. "There's a lot of investigation the government has yet to do."
Retired Army Colonel and NBC military analyst Jack Jacobs examines the concerns set forth by the attorney for Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, the soldier who was charged Friday with 17 counts of murder.
If this becomes a death penalty case, there would have to be 12 jury members, and their guilty verdict would have to be unanimous for it to result in an execution. In other cases, as few as five jurors are required and a two-thirds vote can convict.
"If you have a capital case, we don't cut corners," said the Yale Law School's Fidell.
PTSD: Having the courage to ask for help
And because Bales is an enlisted man, he could request that enlisted personnel make up at least a third of the 12 considering his fate.
Even though Bales is being held at Fort Leavenworth, proceedings may not necessarily be held here. A leading contender for the trial venue is Joint Base Lewis-McChord outside Seattle, where Bales is based and near where his wife and two small children live.

Accenture has published a new paper by Jamyn Edis and Alexis Rose that's worth reading. The executive summary:
Accenture's Global Content Study 2007 surveyed more than 100 leaders and decision-makers in the media and entertainment sectors, including television, film, music, radio, video games, publishing,
interactive entertainment and advertising. The study solicited opinions from executives around the globe — across North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific — to gauge their views of where the greatest opportunities and challenges will come over the next five years. Key findings include:
- 62% of executives look to "new platforms" as being the most important key to growth, followed by 31% "new content" and 7% "geographic expansion" as the key growth lever.
- Of these new platforms, online and mobile dominated; a combined 43% viewed online as most important (of which 17% represented a distribution of content through online portals or entertainment/information sites, and a further 13% through social networking sites and 13% through eCommerce sites), while mobile drew 17% of responses.
- 53% of executives surveyed indicated that "short form content" offered the largest opportunity for "new content," with "long form" or "full length" video content (greater than 60 minutes) garnering 11% of responses. In addition, "video gaming" was viewed as a key growth area, according to 13% of executives.
- Asked what they believed was a top threat to the business, over half of the executives (57%) identified "consumer-based competition" or "user-generated" content; 46% of respondents viewed "piracy or IP theft" as a top three issue.
- However, despite the perceived threat, 68% of respondents believe that they will be able to harness user-generated content to create revenue within one to three years.
- Nearly 80% of those surveyed believed that there was no bubble in the Web 2.0 space, with 70% of respondents also observing that social media was a natural, "evolutionary" progression for media (versus 25% calling social media "revolutionary" and 5% calling it "a fad".) As a reflection of this upbeat perception, over 90% of the executives said that their companies would become involved in social media over the next 12 months.
- Half of executives indicated that advertising could grow to become the most prevalent business model in the industry within five years, with digital advertising driving growth.
- Content remains king (according to 37% of respondents), although the crown is under attack by technology companies (26%) and telecommunications players (9%).
- Critically important is the need for digital readiness and a future technology road map. Only by transforming their organization and capabilities can media and entertainment expect to maximize the opportunity that digital offers. This includes increasing reach (through multi-platform distribution), engagement (through social media and interactivity) and monetization (through digital advertising). ...

REIDSVILLE � A manufacturer of tanker trucks and trailers, primarily for the government, has secured an estimated $48 million Army contract that will likely mean hiring in the next few years.
Isometrics Inc.�s new three-year contract has the potential to produce as many as 955 tank racks, which are specialized fuel handling equipment used on trucks.
Production of the first 85 units will be handled in-house � the company employs 40 � so any hiring is likely eight to 10 months down the road, Isometrics President Lee Hancock said.
The contract will probably mean eight to 10 new jobs for welders, but if the Army buys a lot of units, it could mean hiring as many as 30, Hancock said.
This comes as good news for Rockingham County, where the May unemployment rate was 10.1 percent, compared with 8.8 percent statewide, according to data from the N.C. Dept. of Commerce.
�We�re hoping that the sequester and all that stuff will go away before they go into heavy production,� Hancock said. �If they�re cutting back, you never know what�s going to happen.�
Production of 75 units is estimated for the first year, 335 the second year and 535 for the contract�s final year.
The contract comes more than a year after Isometrics first put in a bid, competing against eight other manufacturers.
The Army notified the company on July 10. The bid evaluation is based on the price.
Each rack typically requires between $2,500 and $3,000 worth of stainless steel, although the price fluctuates, Hancock said.
�It�s a big risk you have to take for having a fixed price for three years, but we have to predict it and give it our best shot,� Hancock said.

Chris Brown Case: Plea Deal Talks Fall Apart
WASHINGTON (AP) — Singer Chris Brown was close to a plea deal in his assault case that would have kept him out of jail, but the talks fell apart when prosecutors and defense attorneys couldn't agree on what he would acknowledge happened last year.
Brown was arrested in October outside a hotel and charged with misdemeanor assault. A fan accused the singer of hitting him when he tried to get in a photograph Brown was taking with two women. At the time, Brown was on probation for a 2009 attack on singer Rihanna, his then girlfriend.
He was released from jail earlier this month.
Prosecutor Kevin Chambers said Wednesday they offered a deal for Brown to plead guilty to simple assault and time served in the Washington case. But the Grammy-winning singer's attorney, Mark Geragos, said defense lawyers and prosecutors couldn't agree on a statement of facts about what happened outside the W hotel.
"They wanted him to read from a script that wasn't true," Geragos said after the hearing. The attorney did not say specifically what the disagreement was over.
Brown was in court Wednesday, wearing white jeans, a white shirt, a leather jacket and a black tie.
His trial was scheduled for Sept. 8.
Brown's bodyguard, Christopher Hollosy, was also charged in the same Washington scuffle. He was accused of being the second person after Brown to strike Parker Adams.
Hollosy was convicted of misdemeanor assault in April. He has not yet been sentenced.

I actually think her leaving will be a blessing, as it gives me time to maybe build up that critical self esteem I lack, or maybe moreso discern if it's something real or just infatuation. I mean, I spent all of last night just pondering about earlier that evening...but a friend of mine did clarify that I really don't know much about her, outside of that she's amazingly pretty and gets along well with my sister. Besides that, she's spending the day with her family and then leaving tonight or tomorrow morning, so any oppertunity to speak to her is officially out the window anyways.
Just realized it's been over a month since I fixed my PS3's YLOD and it's still going strong. Fuck yeah.
There is the one issue of her leaving for military basic training today or tomorrow, forget which. She probably won't be back here til.....fuck I dunno when. My sister's not even remotely disconcerted by the idea of me trying to hook up with her (mostly because she knows that I'm a chickenshit who won't work the nerve up). I think she'd be happy with the idea because she knows I'm far less stupid and more caring and considerate then most of the guys they know.I haven't been this distracted by a lady since I was in grade school...I forgot how much this feeling sucks. But damn she's beautiful.
Courtney proc ergo hocter hoc.btw has anyone ever considered analyzing the brony fandom in the context of Ahamkara from Vedic philosophy?
It's all for dicks now anyway, she leaves in the morning. I would have been king douche if I said anything before she left, you're right yodes. I think my best bet is to just wait for her to come back. Gives me time to clean up my act if you would.Speaking of acts, been back at the gym since my ailment has run its course. Busting my ass harder than ever, more exercises, more weight, less rest between, more cardio (biking 4 before and after my workouts)...next obstacle is changing my diet. Having been a fatass most of my life, that's gonna be hard.

High Point, NC> Erskine College has maintained the top spot in the preseason poll as voted on by league head coaches for the fourth consecutive season. The Fleet also earned their fourth consecutive preseason national ranking in the Division II ITA National Preseason Poll coming in at No. 28.
Erskine finished the 2008 campaign with a 20-4 record and finished the conference slate undefeated (10-0) for the fourth-straight season. Erskine has posted an overall conference record of 51-0 the past three seasons, and has won both the regular-season title and tournament championships in the 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008 seasons.
Erskine returns a core of players including Kacie Knox, Britton Bignon, and Mary-Claire Rollins. These players will combine their efforts with four strong freshmen, Cera Falls, Nicole Miller, Tessa Rhealt, and Jordan Smith as the Fleet look to win their fifth straight conference championship.
The Limestone College places second in this year's preseason poll. TheLady Saints tennis team is eager to start the 2009 season after finishing second in the conference tournament and posting a 16-8 overall record (9-1 league) last season. The Lady Saints return four letter winners and two returning starters and All-Conference honorees Eve Aubry and Jen Snaider. The team also has six newcomers who will look to make an impact.
The Lady Saints had a strong 2008 fall season. The Lady Saints are currently ranked No. 9 in the Southeast Region.
Mount Olive places third in this year's preseason poll as voted on by league head coaches. Mount Olive returns four starters from last year's squad, including two-time All-Conference Carolinas selection Carol Aro and 2008 All-Conference player Sofia Medeiros. The Trojans finished fourth in last year's regular season standings with a 7-3 conference mark after winning four of their final five conference matches. A late-season injury hindered Mount Olive during the 2008 Conference Carolinas Tournament, but the Trojans are expected to be back at full strength for 2009.

We Had No Contact With Suspect After Bombing [VIDEO]
The FBI is disputing a claim by the mother of the suspected Boston bombers, who said the bureau had spoken to the older brother after the bombs exploded at last Monday's marathon.
At FBI headquarters in Washington, spokesman Michael Kortan says the bureau's 2011 interview with Tamerlan Tsarnaev was the only FBI contact with him.
Kortan is standing by the bureau's public statement from Friday in which the bureau described that interview. That statement says the FBI did not learn of the identities of the bombing suspects, Tamerlan and his brother, Dzhokhar until Friday, the day Tamerlan was killed.
The brothers' parents in Russia have insisted that the FBI continued to monitor Tamerlan after the 2011 interview and say both of their sons were set up.
Senator: Marathon bombing suspect shot in throat
A U.S. senator says the hospitalized suspect in the Boston Marathon bombing was shot in the throat, raising questions about his ability to speak to investigators.
Senate Intelligence Committee member Sen. Dan Coats of Indiana told ABC's "This Week" that there are questions over whether Tsarnaev will be able to talk again.
Coats said that doesn't mean the 19-year-old can't communicate, but he's "in a condition where we can't get any information from him at all."
Tsarnaev was captured from a tarp-covered boat in a suburban Boston yard Friday night and remained hospitalized in serious condition Sunday.
Tsarnaev and his 26-year-old brother, Tamerlan, were in a shootout with police early Friday. Tamerlan was killed and Dzhokhar fled the scene bleeding.
Mass. police: Bomb suspects didn't have gun permit
A Massachusetts police official say the brothers suspected of bombing the Boston Marathon before having shootouts with authorities didn't have gun permits.
Cambridge Police Commissioner Robert Haas tells The Associated Press in an interview Sunday that neither Tamerlan nor his brother Dzhokhar had permission to carry firearms.
He says it's unclear whether either ever applied and the applications aren't considered public records.
But he says the 19-year-old Dzhokhar would have been denied a permit because of his age. Only people 21 or older are allowed gun licenses in Massachusetts.
The suspects were also accused of hijacking a Mercedes on Thursday night.
Haas says the pair didn't release the driver, but he escaped when he was left alone while the two men entered a convenience store.

Asthma attacks do NOT usually come on without warning. Most times, they build slowly. Checking your peak flow can tell you if an attack is coming, maybe before you have any symptoms.
What Is Peak Flow?
Peak flow can tell you how well you can blow air out of your lungs. If your airways are narrow and blocked due to asthma, your peak flow values drop.
You can check your peak flow at home with a small, low-cost plastic meter. Some peak flow meters have tabs on the side that you can adjust to match your action plan zones (green, yellow, red). If your meter does not have these, you can mark them with colored tape or a marker.
To view an interactive, practice guide on using a peak flow meter, click here.
Write Down Your Peak Flow Numbers
Write down your peak flow scores (number) on a chart or diary. Most times, these charts come with your peak flow meter. Make a copy of your chart to bring with you when you see your doctor.
Next to your peak flow number also write:
1. Any signs or symptoms you felt
2. Steps you took if you had symptoms or your peak flow dropped
3. Changes in your asthma drugs
4. Any asthma triggers you were exposed to
Use Your Peak Flow Meter Every Day
Once you know your personal best, take your peak flow at these times:
- Every morning when you wake up, before you take medicine. Make this part of your daily morning routine.
- When you are having asthma symptoms or an attack. Then take it again after you take medicine for the attack. This can tell you how bad your asthma attack is and if your medicine is working.
- Any other time your doctor tells you to.
Check to see which zone your peak flow number is in. Do what your doctor told you to do when you are in that zone. This information should be in your action plan.
If you use more than one peak flow meter (such as one at home and another one at school or work), be sure that all of them are the same brand.

We heard a lot about the Mets' culture changing when Sandy Alderson was hired as GM and Terry Collins as manager. The atmosphere changed t0 a degree, but the Mets' talent level remained roughly the same with once again, the pitching faltered and took the team down with it.
Looking back on the season there were three significant story lines outside of the newness of the front office and manager. The first half when the Mets found themselves over .500, the swirling question was whether, or when, they would deal Carlos Beltran and Francisco Rodriguez.
When the pitching went south it was about the thinness of the rotation and weak bullpen, highlighted by not having a closer, who was in Milwaukee because the team feared Rodriguez's option.
The season was played against the backdrop of the Mets not being able to re-sign Jose Reyes because they wouldn't want to – or don't have – the resources to retain the All-Star shortstop.
All three were about money and the Wilpon's legal and financial troubles because of the Madoff Ponzi scandal. The Wilpons received positive news in the courts that would reduce the damages, but those damages would still be significant. And, it doesn't help that the team has a $25 million debt to Major League Baseball.
You can change the manager, general manager and upper management and that could change the culture somewhat, but real change begins with ownership and that hasn't changed. With the budget always an overriding issue, we can never expect things to really change and Mets being an elite franchise.

|Condition or disease
|Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome Virus Hepatitis C Drug Abuse
|Other: MI-based HIV Risk Reduction
|Not Applicable
Specific Aim 1: Compare the effectiveness of an evidence-based HIV risk reduction intervention (MI-HIV) to HIV Education (NIDA Standard) in reducing sex risk behaviors, injection practices, and drug use among a culturally unique sample of disadvantaged, drug-using rural women at high-risk for HIV and HCV. This aim will be accomplished through the random selection of high-risk rural women drug users from rural jails, screening and assessment for high-risk behavior, and random assignment to the HIV-Ed or MI-HIV intervention conditions. Follow-up interviews at 3, 6, and 12 months in the community post-release will examine changes in high-risk behavior. It is expected that MI-HIV participants will report significantly greater reductions in risky injection drug use practices, other drug use, and sex risk behaviors than women who participate in the HIV-Ed condition.
Specific Aim 2: Examine MI-HIV Intervention engagement as a predictor of community health and behavioral health service utilization (including drug treatment and mental health) at follow-up among disadvantaged, drug-using rural women at high risk for HIV and HCV. This aim will focus on community service utilization during the follow-up period by the intervention and education comparison group, and how health and behavioral health service utilization relates to patterns of HIV/HCV risk behavior. It is expected that MI-HIV participants will utilize more services due to increased motivation for treatment and treatment planning following the brief intervention.

No Intervention: NIDA Standard HIV Education
NIDA Standard HIV Education Participants in this condition will be given HIV education using NIDA standard pre and post-test counseling, HIV and HCV rapid testing, and an information packet on existing community drug abuse and HIV/HCV resources
Experimental: MI-based HIV Risk Reduction
MI-based HIV Risk Reduction -- In addition to what is received in the HIV-Ed group, participants in this condition will also receive a CDC evidence-based brief intervention for high-risk women focused on an individualized plan for enhancing motivation to reduce risk behaviors and to use health and behavioral health services in the community.
Other: MI-based HIV Risk Reduction
As the only MI-based intervention identified by the CDC as a best-practice model, the MI-HIV intervention has been shown to demonstrate positive outcomes for criminal justice-involved women randomly assigned to the intervention group for risky sexual activity and drug use with sustained behaviors through 9 months.
Other Names:
- Sex risk behavior [ Time Frame: 6 months ]sex without protection, sex with risky partners, sex under the influence of drugs/alcohol
- Risky sexual behavior [ Time Frame: 6 months ]sex without a condom, number of sex partners, sex exchange, sex while under the influence
- service utilization [ Time Frame: 6 months ]use of health and behavioral health services

How flight simulators enhance safety
Business aviation pilots must be ready for everything from bad weather to air-traffic-control problems to the failure of onboard computers. But training in an airplane to handle such situations can be both expensive and dangerous-hence the need for flight simulators.
While early simulators were relatively unsophisticated, the ones in use today mimic an aircraft's sounds, movements and visual effects so accurately that some crews break into a sweat while training, having completely forgotten that they've never left the ground. When a pilot pushes the control wheel on a simulator forward, he feels as if he truly is in an aircraft that's diving toward the Earth. On "takeoff," he hears all the sounds he'd hear if he were really beginning a flight.
Simulators offer the opportunity to practice maneuvers that are too dangerous to try in the sky, such as handling an inadvertent thrust-reverser deployment that could flip an aircraft if the pilot were caught unprepared close to the ground after takeoff. Pilots can experience not only a simulated electrical failure but also how computerized aircraft systems attempt to diagnose and solve the problem. There's also simulator training for specific airports-for example, to help pilots learn to fly an unusually steep descent into London City's short runway near Canary Wharf.
When a Qantas A380 airliner suffered an engine failure last November, one reason the pilots handled it well was that they'd learned in their simulator training how the aircraft would behave when a motor quit as well as what the cockpit indicators would look like and what other systems would be affected. Business aircraft training works the same way. So when an emergency situation happens, crews who have trained with a simulator know exactly what to expect.
While this costs much less than it would to train in the air and at airports, full-motion simulators can easily cost as much as the aircraft they mimic, which means small flight departments can't afford their own simulators and must rely on the services of flight-training companies. One such company, New York-based FlightSafety International, operates in some 40 locations around the globe. Canada-based CAE offers training in more than 50 aircraft models.

Gary Corbett is an award-winning Australian journalist who has written for a wide range of newspapers, periodicals and travel magazines for the past 30-plus years.
After years of writing about other people's travel adventures, in the mid-2000s he booked a personal holiday with a difference – a one week guided cycling tour in the Loire Valley in France – and was instantly hooked on those "how good is this" moments that only cycle touring can provide.
In ensuing years he has gone on to cycle well in excess of 30,000 kilometres completing guided, self-guided, bike and barge and solo long distance tours in Europe, Australia, Asia and South America.
Gary now writes exclusively about cycle touring and travelling in general and as such the attempt to set a new electric bike world long distance record along with his wife, Rachel, is his latest "fact finding" cycling adventure – however this time it will be on an e-bike.
His future goal is to see more of the world from the seat of his trusty Trek 520 touring bicycle, and now that he has discovered the world of e-biking, his new Haibike xDuro Trekking RX e-bike. There is, after all, always another country to be explored, new cultures to be experienced and more cycle tours to be completed.

IBM's poor earnings performance in the first quarter likely foretells a rough time ahead for the stock market.
In an after-the-bell report Thursday, the information technology leader missed narrowly on bottom-line profit but widely on top-line revenue. Profit of $3 a share missed Wall Street estimates by a nickel, while revenue of $23.41 billion fell short of hopes for $24.62, a 5 percent whiff.
As a result, traders punished IBM in Friday action, with the shares closing down more than 8 percent.
(Read More: IBM Earnings and Revenue Fall Short)
IBM has been underperforming the market the way it is, dropping 10.9 percent over the past month while the Standard & Poor's 500 has risen about 0.2 percent.
