MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) – Defending champion Adam Scott grabbed a share of the second-round lead at the Australian Masters, with birdies on his first three holes Friday and two of his final four giving him a 5-under 66 at Royal Melbourne.
Scott, who won the Masters this year and last week's Australian PGA, had a two-round total of 9-under 133, tied with fellow Australian Nathan Holman, who shot a 65 on Friday.
They had a one-stroke lead over Australians Matthew Griffin (65) and first-round leader Nick Cullen (69). American Matt Kuchar (66) was four strokes behind and in fifth place, while Vijay Singh was seven strokes back after a 68.
''It was a great start but unfortunately I couldn't keep it going,'' Scott said. ''I'm in good shape for the weekend, but this course can jump up and get you.''
Leukemia survivor Jarrod Lyle shot an even-par 71 to make the 36-hole cut in his first tournament in 20 months. He was 1-over, 10 strokes behind Scott and Holman.
The 32-year-old Lyle said his legs felt heavy but he would draw on his ''fighting instinct'' to finish the weekend.
''If I have to crawl those last 18 holes, I'm crawling them,'' Lyle said. ''Nothing's going to stop me from finishing.''
Lyle, then a regular on the PGA Tour, was diagnosed with leukemia in March 2012 just before the birth of his daughter, Lusi. Lyle's wife, Briony, became pregnant despite medical advice that Lyle's first bout of cancer and the resulting chemotherapy would leave him sterile.
He has a medical exemption to return to the PGA Tour whenever he feels he's ready. But Lyle said Friday he won't be rushing back to the U.S. until he knows he's physically capable.
''I don't want to waste the medical starts that I have,'' he said.
Otherwise, he was enthused about his return.
''I've done it; I've come here and achieved the biggest goal I've set myself for the week and that was to play four rounds of golf,'' Lyle said. ''I couldn't be happier than what I am.''
Scott said he and the other Australian golfers were all hoping Lyle would make it to the weekend.
''It's phenomenal. He's a beauty,'' Scott said. ''I'm so happy for him. To see him finish 1-over, it's great. We love having him back.''

The social construct we call race is complicated, but there are a few things about it that I know to be true. One thing is that everyone who grows up in this country absorbs some prejudice–everyone, no matter their race. Also, many people have no real relationships with anyone outside of their own culture. Most racial misunderstandings are borne of ignorance not malice. As a woman of color, I try to keep that truth in mind. Nevertheless, last year I lost a good friend. And our parting can be blamed on race–biases that I felt my friend was unwilling to examine and that I was unable to forgive.
There were other strains on my end of our friendship. My friend, let's call her Mona, could be overbearing and self-centered, and she possessed a frankness that sometimes crossed the line to rudeness. But to be honest, that was part of her charm. When we met, we were both working for a large public relations agency. I liked Mona the minute I met her. I have a soft spot for misfits, and she didn't fit in with the agency types–those skinny, stylish girls with their Kate Spade bags and rich daddies. Neither did I. Mona was smart, loud, sassy and a little hippie dippy. She liked to talk about past lives and "bad energy," and she would rail against the patriarchy and "the man." While I philosophically talked about politics, she would get in the trenches and volunteer to help Democratic campaigns in other cities. Mona and I became good friends.
It occurred to me sometimes that my friend's "power to the people" ideology was somewhat theoretical. I knew she had other friends of color, but I also knew that they were like me–educated and assimilated–friends who could slip easily into the mainstream. But aren't we all most comfortable with people who share our interests, values and likes? Race was not a precious topic between Mona and I. We discussed it openly. I explained the black women and hair thing. She talked about what it was like as a white woman to date black men. Then something changed.
About a year and a half into our friendship, Mona moved away to Washington, D.C. and I gradually began to sense that life in that black city was changing my friend. She seemed hardened and less tolerant. Maybe for her, familiarity bred contempt. Estrangement began with a comment here and there. There was the remark about a colleague that was a black woman but really sharp and pretty. Then something about how she usually didn't get along with Jewish women. Then, Katrina happened.
I was horrified watching civilization fall apart in New Orleans–people begging for water, bodies floating, towns keeping neighbors from crossing bridges to safety, the media labeling American citizens "refugees," and our president congratulating the inept crony who failed to grasp the magnitude of the whole disaster. In the aftermath, I talked to Mona on the phone. "Yeah, I sent money to the animal shelters down there," she said, adding "but I didn't send any money to those fucking people."
Those fucking people. Her words felt like a slap. I wondered if she meant those fucking poor people or those fucking black people. I didn't like it either way. I realize that internal and external factors affect one's situation in life. But those desperate people on my television set didn't need a lecture or contempt. They needed compassion. Though I sat warm and safe in a home more than 1,000 miles north of the Gulf, I identified with the Katrina survivors–those forgotten and inconvenient black people. And I felt attacked by my friend's inhumane position. We spoke for a long time that evening about poverty and race, but Mona failed to muster much sympathy for the victims of the hurricane. I hung up the phone feeling anxious and sad.
Some people would have ended the relationship there, I know. But I knew Mona as a friend who had always been generous, supportive and good to me. Her recent comments didn't square with the person I had known for years–the good liberal who had a guru and took annual treks to commune with nature in the mountains. We spoke sporadically over the following months, then it ended with one last phone call. We were speaking on the run, as long-distance friends often do. I was in the drive-thru at the neighborhood Dairy Queen and Mona was running some errand hundreds of miles away, annoyed she said by D.C.'s celebration of "fucking" Emancipation Day, a commemoration of the day the city's slaves were freed. "Everything is closed. It's ridiculous!" She said. "Between this, the Duke case and Don Imus, I'm getting really sick of this shit." I didn't have to ask what shit that was.
I ended that conversation quickly and I haven't spoken with Mona since, though she has left a few messages. I just let the figurative and literal distance grow between us. I feel like a coward for not confronting her and telling her why we can't be friends. Maybe she agrees. Maybe she was finding our discussions about race difficult and frustrating. I never asked. I feel guilty, like I betrayed people of color by not getting angry, not slamming the phone down at the first sign of my friend's prejudice, not immediately thinking Mona was a bad person–a racist. But what would that have solved? I am old enough to know that a lot of good people have screwed up beliefs about other races. You don't educate people and change minds by walking away. But I did walk away. It's just easier not to talk about race, isn't it?
I don't hate Mona. In fact, as I write this, I feel a little protective, like I've painted her too negatively. In addition to doing the things that ended our friendship, Mona wrangled the photographer at my wedding, listened to me kvetch and moan when corporate life got to me, stayed on the phone with me during a late night hysterical drive from Chicago to Atlanta (don't ask), called herself my husband's "football wife" because she likes to talk about the NFL as much as he does. She did a lot of good things. And I miss her. I tried to understand her. I tried to educate her. I just couldn't accept feeling that someone who was dear to me held my people in disdain, even as she called me friend.
I wish race weren't so damned complicated.

History of Memorial Stadium
Nebraska's continuing NCAA record of consecutive home sellouts reached 361 with seven home sellouts in 2017.
During that time, the historic stadium has gone through many transformations. In 2013, a major renovation on the East side of Memorial Stadium was completed, adding approximately 6,000 new seats. Each new seating area include dedicated restrooms and concessions areas. A new grand lobby, expanded concourse and additional first-aid areas also were added. Fans are greeted by a new grand entrance at Gate 20 complete with a statue of Hall of Fame Coach Bob Devaney. An exciting aspect of the expansion is the Nebraska Athletic Research Facility. where cutting-edge imaging technologies and research to better understand foundations of behavior that contribute to health, injury and disease from childhood obesity to college performance.
In 2006, more than 6,500 seats were added to the stadium's North end, along with a massive HuskerVision screen and Skyline Suites.The additions sit atop the Osborne Athletic Complex, which houses the Huskers' technologically advanced athletic medicine facility, massive weight room, and football locker room, football offices and administrative offices. The first phase of the project also provided the Huskers with a second indoor workout facility, the Hawks Championship Center.
In Nebraska's 300th consecutive sellout against Louisiana-Lafayette on Sept. 26, 2009, a then-school-record 86,304 fans watched the Huskers roll to a 55-0 win. A school-record 91,585 fans attended Nebraska's game against Miami in 2014, and NU's average home attendance was a record 91,249.
NU's streak of consecutive sellouts started on Nov. 3, 1962, when 36,501 attended the Homecoming game against Missouri. The last non-sellout came Oct. 20, 1962, when NU and Kansas State drew 30,701.
In the fall of 1922, a drive for $430,000 in stadium construction funds was undertaken by faculty, students, alumni and friends of the University. The quota was over subscribed.
The stadium was named Memorial Stadium to honor all Nebraskans who served in the Civil and Spanish-American Wars; the 751 Nebraskans who died in World War I; the 3,839 in World War II; the 225 in Korea; the 422 in Vietnam; and those in Iraq. Construction was completed in a few more than 90 working days and Memorial Stadium was dedicated on Oct. 20, 1923, at the Homecoming game in which Nebraska was held to a scoreless tie by Kansas.
Inscribed on the four corners of the stadium are the following words, written by former UNL professor of philosophy Hartley Burr Alexander:
- Southeast: "In Commendation of the men of Nebraska who served and fell in the Nations Wars."
- Southwest: "Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory."
- Northwest: "Courage; Generosity; Fairness; Honor; In these are the true awards of manly sport."
- Northeast: "Their Lives they held their countrys trust; They kept its faith; They died its heroes."
As part of the continuing improvement of athletic facilities at the University of Nebraska, several major projects have been completed over the past eight decades enhancing the facility. The $1 million Hewit Center dining/study hall area was opened in March of 1985, underneath the West Stadium adjacent to the strength complex. The weight room and the Hewit Center were expanded and remodeled in 1989.
Before the fall of 1994, NU installed two 17 feet high, by 23 feet wide replay boards, now known to Nebraska faithful as HuskerVision screens. In 2006, one of the largest screens in a college venue was unveiled as part of the new construction project.
Following the 1997 season, construction began on a $36-million improvement project completed in 1999. The project included the Don Bryant Media Facility and 42 suites, each of which house 25 fans. Club seating rose from approximately 350 to 1,500 per game. The improvement project tripled the number of restrooms on both the East and West sides of the stadium, doubled the number of concessions in both East and West concourses and included concrete repair and waterproofing throughout the stadium. FieldTurf was also introduced at Memorial Stadium in 1999. The renovations raised the capacity of Memorial Stadium from 72,700 to 73,918. Capacity reached above 80,000 for the first time in 2006, and now is more than 85,000.
94 Years In Memorial Stadium
For the past 93 years, Nebraska football teams have gladly called Memorial Stadium home with an impressive 417-132-13 (.754) record posted by the Huskers in their home since it was opened in 1923.
Under the Lights
Nebraska's first night football game was Nov. 30, 1951, at Miami's Orange Bowl when the Huskers lost to the Miami Hurricanes, 19-7. Ironically, NU's first night football home game came in the 1986 opener against another team from the "Sunshine State", Florida State. Nebraska is 92-39-3 all time under the lights, including 40-7 at home

agree with all ...great thread BANFAN but here's my two cents
Anamul and Mominul hajar hoieyleo Bd batsmen and I doubt they will improve significantly and value their wickets in next two matches, if they can rectify ...then mukhe full chondon poruk...let's see if they are the same like other ones
Shohag was unlucky but today he also bowled loose deliveries...probably the dew but didn't they practice bowling in dew before the series...if not why organize the match in D/N just to sell tickets!! Narine came back strong probably Shohag needs to do the same if BD wants another win.

With a little more than two weeks to go before a contract extension between East Coast and Gulf dockworkers and port operators expires, the federal mediator said Thursday that progress is being made toward a long-term settlement.
George Cohen, director of the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, said the International Longshoremen's Association representing 14,500 union members and United States Maritime Alliance, which represents 14 ports and shipping companies, met between Tuesday and Thursday, and have agreed "that the negotiations will continue under our auspices."
A crippling coast wide port strike — the first in 35 years — was averted on Dec. 29, when both sides settled a major sticking point involving wages and agreed to an extension that expires on Feb. 6. About 1,200 longshoremen work at the Port of Baltimore.

Obesity has a greater detrimental impact on the health of African American women than on any other racial or gender group. Nearly 80% of African American women are overweight or obese in the United States. Hypertension and insulin resistance are more prevalent among African American women as compared to men and Caucasians. These conditions put them at increased risk for the development of diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease.
Recent studies have reported that a substance named Nitric Oxide (NO)may have some beneficial effect on how the body handles blood sugar and blood pressure. Of interest,some studies have shown that African Americans have decreased function of NO in their blood vessels.
In this study proposal the investigators will test if increasing NO function with a PDE-5 inhibitor (sildenafil citrate) will improve pre-diabetes and the health of the inner layer of the blood vessels in obese African American women.

"Just adorable and perfect for my daughter's upcoming shower!"
"I loved my invitations!"
"I ordered invitations for my daughter's baby shower. Invites are just like they appear and easy to fill in."
"Came out exactly as pictured. Love them!"
"I ordered invitations for a baby shower. They turned out beautifully and very classy - great quality!"
There is nothing more exciting than the arrival of the newest member of the family. No matter what style of baby shower you are throwing, it is essential to get your cards out with the important details, so that your loved ones are sure to make it to the party. Follow our guide to baby shower invitation wording and rest assure that your attendees won't miss any of the important shower details. The planning might require a lot of preparations—thanks to Shutterfly, making the invitations is a simple and fun part of the job.
First things first… decide on the guest list. What kind of baby shower do you want to throw the new parents? Will the shower be attended by ladies only, or is it a Jack and Jill party? Is the baby shower going to be a casual, family-only get-together, or will it be an elegant affair with plenty of guests?
Shutterfly has dozens of designs and templates to help you pick the perfect card such as Christmas and elephant baby shower invitations. Be sure to send out the invites a few weeks in advance to allow everyone ample time to make arrangements. Be sure to include the day, time and place of the shower and include your information as well for RSVPs. If there is a registry, be sure to include that information on the invitation so guests know what the soon-to-be parents want most.
Baby showers have all sorts of baby shower food and fun games to play, usually at the humorous expense of the soon-to-be mom. Decorations are playful and can be themed to match the personality of the parents. Everyone can have fun and the new parents will surely appreciate all the baby shower wishes and messages, presents and advice. Crafting a personalized greeting straight from the heart is never easy, it can be tough to determine just what to write in a baby shower card for the parents-to-be. Add a personal touch to your greeting and make sure to say it sweetly with our fun collection of cute baby shower quotes. In addition to baby shower greetings, soon to be parents will be receiving a handful of gifts as well. Although the new parents may have registered somewhere for gifts, the chances are that they will take photo after photo of their new baby. You really can't go wrong with a personalized photo frame as a baby shower gift for the new mom and dad.
Once the new baby comes, the parents will probably have their hands full. A great gift for new parents post-birth is a set of thank you cards for boys or girls (as well as a "coupon" to babysit their new bundle of joy). As soon as the photos start coming (and they will) you can use Shutterfly to turn all of the precious memories into beautiful decorations like custom canvas prints, engraved photo frames and other personalized pieces.

Consumer Confidence Slumps for March
Confidence among American consumers unexpectedly slumped in March, which may signal a cooling in spending, the biggest part of the economy.
The Thomson Reuters/University of Michigan preliminary sentiment index for March fell to 71.8, the lowest level since December 2011, from 77.6 in February. The gauge was projected to increase to 78, according to the median estimate of 67 economists surveyed by Bloomberg. Concern may be starting to mount over the damage that automatic across-the-board federal spending cuts will cause the economy and hiring. That may keep tempering optimism created by record stock prices, a hiring pickup, and a housing rebound that have so far helped propel bigger-than-forecast gains in spending.
"There was a little bit of a sequester-news related dip in confidence," said Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. Economist at High Frequency Economics in Valhalla, New York. "Certainly on the minus side you have fiscal tightening, but on the plus side you've got the improving labor market."
Forecasts ranged from 70 to 82.5, according to the Bloomberg survey. The index averaged 64.2 during the recession ended in June 2009, and 89 in the five years prior to the 18- month slump.
Stocks fell after the report. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index dropped 0.4 percent to 1,557.21 at 10:14 a.m. in New York. The Michigan survey's current conditions index, which measures whether Americans think it's a good time to make big investments and gauges consumers' view of their personal finances, dropped to a preliminary 87.5 in March from 89 in February.
The preliminary index of expectations six months from now, which more closely projects the direction of consumer spending, slumped to 61.7 in March, the lowest since November 2011, from 70.2 the month before. Consumers in today's confidence report said they expect an inflation rate of 3.3 percent over the next 12 months, the same as in the prior two months. Over the next five years, Americans expected a 2.9 percent rate of inflation, down from February's 3 percent. Today's report runs counter to other measures. Bloomberg's Consumer Comfort Index has risen for six straight weeks to reach its highest level since April.
Retail Sales
The outlook for confidence may bear on whether recent strength in spending can be sustained. Retail sales increased 1.1 percent in February, double the median forecast of economists surveyed by Bloomberg and the most in five months, Commerce Department figures showed this week.
A better job outlook may be help underpin spending even as confidence wanes. Payrolls rose by 236,000 workers in February and the number of people let go in January dropped to the lowest level in records going back 12 years, according to figures from the Labor Department. The jobless rate dropped to a four-year low of 7.7 percent last month from 7.9 percent.
Also, the housing market rebound is boosting consumers' net worth. The S&P/Case-Shiller index of property values in 20 U.S. cities increased 6.8 percent in December from the same month in 2011, the biggest year-to-year gain since July 2006.
Nonetheless, consumers are contending with a higher payroll tax. The levy that funds Social Security reverted to its 2010 level of 6.2 percent from 4.2 percent as of January, and an American who earns $50,000 is taking home about $83 less a month as a result.
Fuel Costs
Households are also facing higher fuel costs. The price of a gallon of regular gasoline is hovering around $3.70 after hitting a low of $3.22 on Dec. 19, according to figures from AAA, the largest U.S. auto group. At the same time, the price has fallen from a recent high of $3.79 on Feb. 26.
David C. Novak, chief executive officer of Louisville, Kentucky-based Yum! Brands Inc. (YUM), which operates and franchises restaurants such as Taco Bell, KFC and Pizza Hut, said their research indicates consumers remain uneasy.
"Nobody is really taking a victory lap," Novak said in a Mar. 13 presentation. "People want to have confidence, but I don't think they necessarily have it."

|Sesame Street
|November 10, 2009 (4187)
|February 18, 2010 (4212)
Sesame Street Season 40 premiered on November 10, 2009. This date is the 40th anniversary of the show, and Sesame Workshop celebrated the occasion with a commemorative book and DVD set, as well as a week-long takeover of the Google logo.
The curriculum for Season 40 focuses on environmentalism and is "designed to nurture young children's appreciation and love for nature."[1][2] The Muppets of Sesame Street encourage children to explore their curiosity in the outdoors with activities that teach simple, age-appropriate ways of showing care and stewardship for the environment.[1] Several episodes focus on environmental issues - such as recycling or habitats.[3] One episode (Episode 4193) focuses on Baby Bear and his family learning how to hibernate.[4] Another episode (#4187, originally planned as #4210) features Big Bird learning about migration.[5]
A new computer-generated segment, Abby's Flying Fairy School, was added this season. Murray Has a Little Lamb and Bert and Ernie's Great Adventures return from last season and alternated with each episode. What's the Word on the Street and The Word of the Day also return with 26 new words. Elmo's World returned for its eleventh season with only one new segment about Frogs.
Parodies included "Mad Men" (based on Mad Men), "Waiting for Big" (Sex and the City), "Outdoors" (based on "I'm Yours"), "Super K Cereal" (based on Special K), and "D-Dance" (based on Apple's iPod commercial).
Show Format
The season introduces a new format based on typical channel programming blocks, with Murray Monster serving as a host from real-world locations, introducing the main components of the show.[6]

- In an interview with Muppet fansite Tough Pigs, writer and Muppeteer Joey Mazzarino said, "We're trying to do what we call a hidden gem in every episode. That's for you guys, the fans. Little things like Biff and Sully in a scene, or some other stuff that I won't tell you about that will be hidden in the scene."[9]
- A parody of Jon & Kate Plus 8 featuring The Count and Anything Muppet spoofs of the family was filmed for this season, but never made it to air (most likely due to the couple's splitting up). A plot outline of the sketch was also removed from the Season 40 Press Kit "Parody Description" section. The segment was released as a bonus feature on the Best of Sesame Street Spoofs! DVD in 2011.

Rolen and La Russa Give Peace a Chance
- War is Over – I was excited to read in today's Post Dispatch that TLR and Scott Rolen have patched up their feud. Did the talks end with Rolen banging a cleat on the table? Nah, It sounds like it was a pretty easygoing resolution. I guess they realized their contracts were both long enough that it would be tough to just pretend the other didn't exist a la junior high. We definitely need these guys to see eye to eye in order for a healthy clubhouse vibe, so this is great news.
- Let's chirp – I've added new chat functionality to the sidebar. If it works, it should tell you when I'm online and you can send me a msg and I'll respond.

Difference between revisions of "Wikitravel:Guide for business owners"
Revision as of 11:39, 9 September 2011
Welcome, business owners. The owners (and loyal employees) of hotels, restaurants, bars, attractions, and other businesses catering to travellers are welcome to share information that helps others in their travels. Everyone is invited to participate in the guide's development and decision-making. Everyone is also invited to share the information in Wikitravel with whomever they want. Of course, we do have some guidelines, policies, and a few legal requirements that go along with this.
If you have information that is of interest to travellers—even if it is about a restaurant, hotel, bar, or popular attraction, that you own or work for—plunge forward and add the information to Wikitravel. Find the article for the city or district it is located in, and add it to the appropriate section (See, Do, Buy, Eat, Drink, Sleep). Add it only once—for example, if a hotel has a restaurant and bar, list the hotel under "Sleep" and mention that there is a restaurant and bar.
Take a look at our style guidelines to see how to format your listing and to see the kinds of businesses we'd rather not include, such as third-party booking services and other guides. We want to put travellers in direct contact with the people they'll be patronizing, and have the information right here on Wikitravel. We also don't use images of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, etc.
Please make your descriptions as straightforward as possible. The key guideline is: "Don't tout." Save the sales pitch and just tell it like it is. You don't have to stick to a dry recitation of facts, but keep in mind that Wikitravellers aren't fools. They'll see through flowery descriptions and effusive praise, and they won't trust it. Any of it. They'll distrust your information, and they'll also start to distrust Wikitravel in general, which isn't good for you or for the rest of us. Using advertisements you have placed elsewhere, or using the word our, or using any of the words to avoid are indicators that you are heading the wrong way.
If you add a link to your business name it should also be mentioned in the text, and the travellers should get what they are expecting if they click through any link you add.
Please try and use a Wikitravel standard listing format. Look around to see how other good listings are done, and copy their example.
You are welcome to mention your business name on your user page, but we don't allow user pages to be used for advertising.
Other wikitravellers are also working on the article trying to make the best travel guide possible. At wikitravel, the traveller comes first and this may mean that your entry may be changed, moved, updated, or entirely removed, all in the interest of giving the traveler the best and most relevant information. If you think any changes are unfair, please discuss them on the Talk page of the article and try to reach consensus.
Contributing quality and useful travel information and working cooperatively will hopefully reflect positively on your business, although there is never a guarantee of a listing or positive review.
On the other hand touting, engaging in edit wars, or changing competitor information will reflect negatively on your business. The community has decided that we are looking for good businesses to appear in our guides, and may decide that your business is not appropriate to list.
Never remove info on competitors
One thing we ask you never to do is to remove information about your competitors. Even if they break every rule in the book, don't remove it or edit it yourself. Instead point it out at Talk page of the Wikitravel article providing a reason for deletion, and only after reaching a consensus there that it was done fairly, it can be removed from the article.
If your edits are reverted
If you edits are reverted, please feel free to discuss the reasons on the article talk page. This is a better place to discuss than directly with the user who did the reversion, because all wikitravellers interested in the topic can take part in the discussion.
There are a number of reasons that your edit could be reverted including:
Check the message text that was left with the reversion edit, it may explain why the edit was reverted. If you have created an account some wikitravellers may give some reasoning on your talk page also.
You could just add a listing for your business and leave it at that. But we'd love to see you sign up and stick around.
But don't do it just for us. If you own a travel-related business, you probably want to see local tourism and other travel to your area thrive, and helping to make the Wikitravel guide to your destination better is one way to promote that. We've found that the better an article is, the more traffic it gets. Twice a month we feature another well-developed article on the Main Page as either "Destination of the Month" or "Off the Beaten Path". And for the crème-de-la-crème pages, we flag them and feature them as "Star" articles.
So make sure all the key attractions and activities in your locale are listed... as well as your business. No one's asking you to add listings for your competitors (though to be honest, we'd love it if you did). But if you own a nightclub, surely you must know some good restaurants in the area. If you own a hotel, you probably know something about what your guests see and do while they're in town. We'd love it if you uploaded images of attractions in your city, just be sure you understand they'll be published under the free content license that we use. You may even consider becoming a docent for your city, someone who offers to answer questions that travellers might have about things that aren't covered in the article. If a traveller sees that you're genuinely interested in helping, that certainly can't hurt the chances that they'll patronize your business when they get to town. And it's quite alright to put information about yourself and your business on your User page (if you don't turn it into a marketing brochure).
And on the off chance that once in a while you manage to get away from the job and get out of town, please contribute the information you learn as a traveller yourself, to other guide pages.
You can share Wikitravel information with others. You can print copies of Wikitravel articles and provide them as city guides to your guests.
The only restrictions on you are the same ones that apply to Wikitravel itself: you have to give credit to the contributors, and anyone you give this information to has the same right to redistribute it. See Wikitravel:How to re-use Wikitravel guides for more details.
This guide is published under a "copyleft" license that allows its content to be used by anyone, free of charge. It's called the "Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike" license. [1] The "Attribution" part says we have to give credit to the people who contributed the information. The "ShareAlike" part says that everything contributed to Wikitravel has to be made available to anyone else on the same terms. We specifically didn't include the "NonCommercial" limitation in Wikitravel's licence, so that business owners like you use the travel guides.

Barnhart eager to soak up knowledge
GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- All expectations are that Reds top catching prospect Tucker Barnhart will begin the 2014 season at Triple-A Louisville. That, of course, will put Barnhart one rung down from the Majors and perhaps just one phone call away from a possible promotion.
Before the 23-year-old Barnhart can realize that dream and call his family and friends to make the two-hour drive from his hometown of Brownsburg, Ind., to fill Great American Ball Park to watch him, much work is left to be done.

"It's continuing to be consistent and just grow as a hitter," Barnhart said. "I need to continue to work defensively, get to know pitchers' styles and what they like to do in different spots of the game. It's going to allow me to mesh with them right away."
A 10th-round Draft pick of the Reds in 2009, Barnhart has become a familiar presence in the organization. This is his third big league camp, but first as a member of the 40-man roster. He's attended Redsfest each of the last three years and is a three-year fixture with broadcaster Marty Brennaman on the self-proclaimed "Rock Star" leg of the Reds Caravan tour.
"I feel like I've put myself in a good position," Barnhart said. "I feel like I've grown as a player on the field, but off the field as well. I'm very fortunate to be put in that situation. I've taken it and ran with it."
To help get him the rest of the way, Barnhart will be paired in Louisville with veteran catcher Corky Miller, who has long been held in high esteem in the organization for how he handles pitchers and the nuances of the position.
Miller, 37, will be a catching guru to Barnhart -- there to be a sounding board, to answer questions, to set an example, to just be there in general. It's something he's done for other catchers in the early parts of their careers, most recently for current Reds regular catcher Devin Mesoraco.
"It was the same thing that happened with Devin," Miller said. "It was not necessarily ball talk. It's communication from seeing each other, day in and day out. Hopefully it's more by example. I try to do everything right. I encourage him to ask me questions. It was tough for me, too, when you're pretty good at catching to pick someone else's brain. Sometimes you're afraid it might be different. He's a guy that likes to talk. He understands catching. It should be fun for us."
Barnhart expected not to be timid this season about approaching Miller, who has known him from spending past Spring Trainings together.
"He'll probably get sick of me and how many questions I'm going to ask. I'm very fortunate to able to learn from him," Barnhart said. "What some people don't realize with Corky is that his laid-back nature and everything is fantastic. But also it's how much he's teaching when that is going on. It's a very laid-back style but it's also 'You better get your stuff done or I am going to be all over you.'"
Barnhart can watch Miller's work ethic, show him how to handle being a backup catcher in the big leagues, if needed, monitor how he takes notes on pitchers and teach him how to react to situations.
Most of all, Barnhart can just gain experience from seeing more pitchers and hitters.
"You go to Triple-A and guys have different approaches at the plate," Miller said. "Some older guys have different philosophies on pitching, guys that maybe he hasn't caught on a regular basis. Usually, you have a little more command with the breaking pitches. You have little things that older guys would do that don't necessarily apply to A-ball or Double-A. The hitters' tendencies are a little more ingrained so it might be a little easier to set up hitters."
Last season with Double-A Pensacola, Barnhart batted .260 with a .348 on-base percentage in 98 games. He was second on the team with 19 doubles and third in RBIs. There were 45 walks and only 57 strikeouts.
Defensively, Barnhart successfully caught 37 percent of attempted basestealers. Baseball America named him the organization's 10th best prospect and its best defensive catcher. After the season, he was invited to play in the Arizona Fall League, which is often a stop for future Major Leaguers.
"It was big. Just being around that type of talent was huge," Barnhart said. "I think it really prepared me for camp this year. Going out here, you know those guys are the top prospects in baseball. There's a feeling like you belong and you're seeing you're as good, or better, than some of the guys out there. It was a confidence-builder for me."
The Reds are set with catchers at the big league level with Mesoraco and Brayan Pena. Early in the season, Miller could get tapped if there is an injury. But Miller isn't on the 40-man roster while Barnhart is. If he is the one needed, Barnhart wants to know as much about the Major League pitching staff as possible this spring.
"It's good. this being my third camp. to be around guys that I've gotten to know," Barnhart said. "I will continue to work with guys and get to know them and what their tendencies are so if. and when. that opportunity presents itself, that I'm ready to go."

In the wake of yesterday's announcement of Apple's me-too iPhone 5C, Nokia has come out swinging. Which makes sense: The iPhone 5C is clearly a rip-off of the design of the Nokia Lumia 520, 521 and 620. And the iPhone 5S, Nokia says, still falls short.
Nokia highlights the following ways in which Apple just lags behind.
Polycarbonate. Apple's "unapologetically plastic" iPhone 5C uses a "polycarbonate exterior to the iPhone 5C, something Nokia has featured in the design of its Lumia devices for the past two years." A one-time trendsetter with the first iPhone, Apple is now copying others' designs—"Clearly, imitation is the best form of flattery," as Nokia notes—while ignoring useful technologies that users need, like Qi wireless charging and, to a lesser degree, NFC.
Screen resolution. The small 4-inch screen on Apple's flagship iPhone 5S offers a resolution of just 1136 x 640. Nokia's flagship, the Lumia 1020, provides a sharper, better and bigger 4.5-inch PureMotion HD+ display of 1280 x 768.
Camera. While tech bloggers have conveniently forgotten that Nokia owns this category, Apple is crowing about a camera that is yesterday's new. It includes optical image stabilization—"a longtime feature on Nokia Lumia flagship smartphones," as Nokia notes—and the camera and video specs on the new iPhone 5S continue to lag. "To be specific, the Nokia Lumia 1020 features the best camera technology ever seen in a smartphone including a 41 megapixel sensor, Nokia's innovative PureView technology and six optical lenses by the renowned imaging experts at ZEISS, all coming together to produce the sharpest images of any digital camera on the market and amazing photos, even in low light." It's not game over. There's no game. Apple is not competing.
Value. Given Apple's steadily falling market share and the importance of low-end devices, many had hoped and expected that Apple would price its low-cost offering, the iPhone 5C, in the $300 range. Nope: It starts at an astonishingly high $550 without a contract. Nokia, meanwhile, has two incredible sub-$150 offerings, the $99 Lumia 520 and the $149 Lumia 521. Further troubling is that most news reports about the iPhone 5C tout its "low price" of $99, which is its two-year contract price only. And "Nokia is bringing the latest smartphone innovation to consumers at a price they can afford - the Lumia 925, available from AT&T for just $99 with a contract, or just $30 down on T-Mobile."
I like what Nokia is doing, messaging-wise. But this doesn't go far enough.
The iPhone 5C is outright design theft, minus the utility of being able to remove the color back and replace it with either a different color back or, in some cases, a different color back that also adds additional capabilities like wireless charging; these are features offered by various Lumia handsets.
I've seen the usual Apple toadies online claiming that Apple's previous release of color iPods somehow means that the iPhone 5C is a natural transition. It's not. Those designs—like the iPod nano—were metal, not polycarbonate. More to the point, they weren't so clearly Lumia ripoffs. For example:

Sorry, but this one is clear cut. iPhone 5C: "Designed by Nokia in Finland".

I got the strawberry glaze color. Its a really pretty color and pretty easy to put on except for if you're still only a right handed person and can't put on the left hand best to have help, but we will see how these last.. I'm sure it application gets better with practice.
This was my first time trying these nail appliques! I loved that the kit came with an orange stick and an emery board. That's really all you need to execute these. The instructions came with images and were easy to understand.
The actual quality of the appliqués were great. They stretch well to cover the nail and adhere nicely. Be careful laying these down bc it's easy to get air bubbles under them. It can also get tricky around the cuticle and taking off the excess on the sides of the nail, but I think with some practice, I can do these well.
It's been one day of wear and the tips are already slowly chipping away. 😔 I didn't use a top coat so that would probably make a difference.

I got the shade "invite only" I was a little skeptical but decided to try! Out of the two strips in the package, I used one for both hands. It's been 5 days and I only have a few minor chips. So far it has exceeded my expectations (and my home gel polish)!
I bought these Incoco nail strips at Wal-Mart for $5 in the color Sea Breeze, which I feel is a good value. They are much easier to apply than Jamberry and much cheaper. I truly suck at putting on nail polish and it always chips within a day or 2. These stay on for at least 2 weeks (with grow out being the only problem). It took me 30 minutes to apply, but I was watching a movie anyways so it wasn't a big deal. I will definitely buy these again and I hope they carry more of a selection in store, as I wasn't a fan of most of the designs.

These are the best invention! Doing your own nails is such a pain and takes a long time to dry. Being a busy mom I haven't done my nails in a long time but then I found these! They are super easy to apply, it's strips of real nail polish. I can get 2 manicures and 1 pedicure out of a package. I prefer the glitter ones. They look a lot better and last longer. No drying time, 10-15 minutes tops! Mine last 10-14 days. Remove tree polish with acetone nail polish remover.

Love, love, love these!!! These are so simple to use & have stayed on great for a week now! Given, I have 2 boys under the age of 2 - this product is the only way my nails will be "painted"! Just wish they cheaper on Ulta.com.
I'll be honest I'm not a huge fan of Incoco I prefer (colorstreet) their sister company, I feel as though they last longer however I'm a huge fan of the nail strips. They last forever and they love amazing!

Review for: Decorating Kit Nail Multiple Colors Decorative Applications, Other more...
I like to think of myself as a nail artist. I have over 200 polishes plus plates, decals, gems, and all sorts of things to accomplish great art. What I don't have is time. By the end of my mothering day, all I want is my nails to look good without losing precious sleep to accomplish it. Incoco is amazing. Their style is beautiful. The application is so easy. I was annoyed at first because it only came with 6 strips per hand. But, I realized they stretch very easily without tearing apart. A quick peel, place, stretch, file, and press and you're done! Both hands took me 20min and they look great! They last over a week! And I have decently long nails! Find them at Wal-Mart for under $5! Try getting that from a salon!
This is my first time trying these wraps. I was looking for more realistic designs so I purchased the Behind the Scenes and Sparkle On. They're indeed easy to apply but they don't look like real polish. They also bubble up slightly, no matter how much I push them down. They look especially fake around the bottom cuticle area. I know these wraps are supposed to have built-in base & top coat I think it might be a good idea to brush on a little glue before applying these and then finishing with a good sealing top coat.
Do these come off easily? What is the removal process?
I got a package of Incoco nail art in my Walmart summer beauty box and I was wondering if anyone knows how well they last or even how easily they chip. I very rarely paint my nails because I am always at the barn working with horses so they always chip. Should I wear them when I have a nice event or do you think they will last a while.
acrylics or own nail painted ?
In you have small hands ,do you have to Cut it?and is it Hard?
Would these last long on the beach or in a pool?

Updated 12/21/12
The Placer County Air Pollution Control District (District) continues to push forward in an ongoing effort to improve local air quality. Against an increase in population, mobile source activities, and industrial activities, the need to protect the environment and public health is the District's number one mission.
The District's jurisdiction follows the Placer County boundary which encompasses the eastern portion of the Sacramento Valley into the foothills, heading up the Sierra Nevada over the crest into the northern portion of Lake Tahoe. The County's geographical area brings with it much diversity, including remote and rural communities with mountainous terrain, multiple air basins, metropolitan areas, major vehicular arteries, and a transcontinental railroad route.
The District's primarily role is to regulate and permit stationary sources, such as gas stations, power plants, and other industrial/commercial sources which have the potential to emit unhealthy air pollutants. Decades ago, permitted sources were a major contributor to poor air quality in the County. With the implementation of regulations and improved technologies, these sources now operate more efficiently and cleanly. As a result, permitted sources today contribute only a small percentage of the total emitted pollution into the air. The District continues to move closer toward meeting the air quality standards established by the State and Federal governments.
In addition to fulfilling our regulatory role the District has implemented several voluntary programs aimed at improving local air quality. These programs help the District to move beyond its basic regulatory role in order to find proactive methods at reducing pollution from often otherwise unregulated sources. Criteria pollutants, such as nitrogen oxides (NOx) and reactive organic gases (ROG), the main pollutants which contribute to the formation of ground level ozone, are often the focus of these programs.
Four successful programs the District is proud to share include the following:
The above lists just a few of the efforts the District has done over the years to work towards improved air quality and public health. Proof of our efforts can be seen in the data as displayed in the following graphs for ozone.
For a State-wide look at improved air quality, read the California's Progress towards Clean Air Report – April 2011 and its associated press release, which was recently published by the California Air Pollution Control Officer's Association.

Unbelievable. Except that it is. It is totally believable and very typical of America's wasteful, mismanaged government:
WASHINGTON-(Dow Jones)- The U.S. Treasury may have significantly overpaid for its investments in financial institutions, a government watchdog said Thursday, as criticism of the $700 billionfinancial rescue continues to build.
"Treasury paid substantially more for the assets it purchased under the [ Troubled Asset Relief Program] than their then-current market value," Harvard Law School professor
Elizabeth Warrentold the Senate Banking Committee.
Warren, who chairs a five-person congressional oversight panel overseeing the Wall Street rescue plan, said a report being released Friday by the group includes an analysis of 10 TARP transactions. Extrapolating that analysis for all of the purchases made by the Treasury in 2008 suggests Treasury paid
$254 billionfor preferred stock and warrants worth approximately $176 billion, a shortfall of $78 billion.
According to this report, more than 10% of the TARP money has been wasted. And as I'm typing this blog post the Senate is trying to pass a $900 billion stimulus package. President Obama's shrill calls for quick action are irresponsible in the wake of what amounts to a scandal with previously authorized funds. If the government has the same track record with the stimulus money that it's had with TARP, it'll waste over $100,000,000,000. Does wasting $100,000,000,000 of what would otherwise be productive capital sound like a good plan to fix an economic downturn?
Thank goodness that people are taking an active voice in their government and calling Congress to complain about the stimulus package. Check out that link and read the CNN article. People are making an impression on their Senators and Representatives by calling in such great numbers to voice their frustrations. You can be a part of history by participating. Help flood Washington with phone calls and e-mails calling for failure of the stimulus package. Don't just call your Senator. Call other Senators. Call all of them. They're all planning on spending (wasting) your money, so why not?
