We performed a success evaluation to measure the effect of meats consumption and meats type on the chance of breasts cancer in the united kingdom Women's Cohort Research. Processed meats showed the most powerful HR=1.64 (95% CI: 1.14C2.37) for great consumption weighed against none. Females, both pre- and postmenopausal, who consumed one of the most meats had the best risk of breasts cancer. processed meats consumption and intake of different meats types. Processed meats formed another category to become likened against non-processed meats. Survival analyses had been executed in Stata edition 9 using Cox regression weighted with the inverse of the likelihood of being sampled to take into consideration the large percentage of vegetarians in the cohort. Enough time variable found in the success evaluation was amount of time in the analysis (person years), computed as enough time from the time the questionnaire was loaded in until the report of occurrence breasts cancer, loss of life or the censor time of the evaluation, whichever came initial. Women with incredibly high or low total energy intake (a lot more than 6000?kcal and significantly less than 500?kcal) were excluded, as were women with widespread breasts cancer. Two versions were created. Model 1 altered only for age group (constant) and energy intake with the residuals technique (put into quartiles) (Willett and Stampfer, 1986; Nelson and buy 666260-75-9 Margetts, 2000). Model 2 altered for age group, energy intake, body mass index (BMI) (constant), buy 666260-75-9 exercise (constant), parity (no kids, 1C2 kids, 3C4 kids and 5+ kids) and mixed fruit and veggie consumption (put into quartiles). Smoking cigarettes position, hormone substitute therapy make use of (HRT) and dental contraceptive pill make use of had been also included and everything classed as present, past or hardly ever. Additional confounders had been included such as for example socioeconomic course (professional and managerial, intermediate, and manual and routine, degree of educational certification buy 666260-75-9 gained (non-e beyond age group 14, O level, An even and level level). Fractional polynomials had been used to match a even curve to the partnership between breasts cancer tumor and total meats intake using Model 2. As breasts cancer tumor might represent different illnesses in both menopause position groupings, a short evaluation mixed both mixed groupings, incorporating menopausal position being a confounder in the model. Being a check for connections between meats intake and menopausal position verified a potential changing aftereffect of menopausal position, we've treated pre- and postmenopausal females separately. The proportional dangers assumption was examined using graphical ways of logClog curves and Schoenfeld goodness of in shape lab tests (Schoenfeld, 1982), which verified the hazards had been proportional. Due to the probability of distinctions in lifestyle features between vegetarians and meats eaters as well as the lack of the meats component of their diet plan, awareness analyses were performed excluding vegetarians. The awareness of leads to excluding females with any cancers incident within 12 months of entrance to the analysis, also to the model building technique was assessed. Additional evaluation of awareness of leads to the menopausal categorisation was completed buy 666260-75-9 by excluding females aged 48C55 years whose menopausal position might have been ambiguous. HRT users (previous and present) had been also excluded within a awareness evaluation. Outcomes Simple meats and features intake in the cohort Features from the 33? 725 ladies in the scholarly study are shown in Table 1. At baseline, the indicate age group was 52 years and the common BMI 24.5?kg?m?2. Cohort individuals buy 666260-75-9 had been wellness mindful fairly, with low prices of cigarette smoking (11%) and alcoholic beverages consumption more often than once weekly (52%). Most didn't use full-fat dairy (28?383, 88%), and a big percentage reported taking health supplements (18?561, 58%). Meats eaters take into account an increased percentage of present HRT users than vegetarians, though it must be taken into account that vegetarians have a tendency to end up being younger and for that reason less inclined to end up being using HRT. Generally, the cohort is normally well informed and middle income where 8784 (27%) have been informed to level level and 20?879 (63%) worked in professional or managerial positions. Greater detail about the cohort females has been supplied previously (Cade nonconsumers. The estimated comparative risk for a rise in total meats intake of 50?g?time?1 (about 50 % some) was 1.12 (95% CI: 1.02C1.23, nonconsumers with a member of family risk Colec11 per 50?g?time?1 of just one 1.13 (95% CI: 1.01C1.26, the guide category with comparative risk per 50?g?time?1 of just one 1.13.

The neonatal receptor, FcRn, mediates both serum halfClife extension as well
The neonatal receptor, FcRn, mediates both serum halfClife extension as well as active transport of maternal IgG towards the fetus during pregnancy. investigate serum clearance of IgG1 and IgG2 light-chain isotypes in human beings, we quantified the comparative proportions of IgG1 and IgG2 light chains in hypogammaglobulinemia sufferers a month after IVIg infusion and set alongside the first IVIg isotype structure. CGS 21680 HCl non-e of our outcomes suggest any light string choice in either from the FcRn mediated systems; half-life expansion or maternal transportation. Launch Immunoglobulin G (IgG) forms the backbone of our circulating, adaptive disease fighting capability. The fully set up IgG molecule includes two similar 50 kDa large chains (1, 2, three or four 4 subclasses), and two similar 23 kDa light chains developing a heterodimer (one large string and one light string) that further assemble into dimers. The set up molecule is certainly Y shaped, using the light chains Colec11 as well as the CGS 21680 HCl N-terminal elements of the large chains (CH1 and VH domains) in restricted association, developing both Fab hands (Fragment antigen binding), as well as the C-terminal CH3 and CH2 domains forming the Fc-tail. The CH2 and CH1 domains are linked with a versatile hinge, enabling the F(ab)2 significant freedom of motion in the Fc portion. Duration and flexibility from the hinge area varies extensively between the IgG subclasses influencing the comparative orientation and motion from the Fab hands and Fc tail of the IgG antibody [1]. The hinge region of IgG1 encompasses 15 amino acids and is very flexible. IgG2 has a 12 amino acid hinge region and contains a rigid poly-proline double helix, stabilized by four inter-heavy chain disulfide bridges. IgG3 has the longest hinge region, about 4 occasions as long as IgG1, and thus the greatest flexibility, while the IgG4 hinge contains 12 amino acids yielding an intermediate flexibility compared to IgG1 and IgG2 [2]. Light chains come in two classes, either or , with four highly homologous light chain allotypes. In humans the ratio in serum CGS 21680 HCl is around 21 CGS 21680 HCl in healthy individuals, but this varies between species, isotype, biological location and age [3]. No functional differences between and antibodies have been described so far. Recently, IgG2 was explained to occur in three unique isoforms, A, A/B and B, which differ from each other solely in their disulphide bridges in the hinge, with four disulphide bonds connecting the Fc chains for any, but two in the B form, and an hybrid A/B form with three inter-Fc bonds [4]. This affects its tertiary structure and thus the position and mobility of F(ab)2, which in turn may impact other interactions [5]. In contrast, IgG2 is found predominantly as the A and A/B molecular form, but devoid of the B form [4], [6]. FcRn, the neonatal FcR, is usually a heterodimer of a unique MHC class I-like alpha chain and 2m. It is thought to, amongst other functions, be responsible for both the long half-life of IgG and to mediate IgG transcytosis, for instance to the mucosa (e.g. gut, genital and respiratory tract) and through the placenta [7]C[10]. FcRn functions by binding IgG in acidifying early pino- or endosomes after these have fused with FcRn bearing vesicles [11]. Once bound, IgG-FcRn complexes are routed away from the lysosomal pathway, either back towards loading surface of the cell (recycling) or to the opposite cell surface (transcytosis). After fusion with the cell membrane the pH profits to its physiological worth CGS 21680 HCl as well as the IgG-FcRn complexes dissociate, enabling the IgG to disperse beyond the cell [12]. In human beings, FcRn prolongs thereby.

Backtrack – ★ ★ ★ ★ DVD Review
Backtrack was an interesting little ghost story and a little bit more. It obviously drew a few ideas from The Sixth Sense, as Adrien Brody plays a psychiatrist and it turns out that a group of his patients are ghosts, but this time (not really a spoiler as it's written out on the back of the DVD case) he knows they're ghosts, and they're visiting him for a reason.
This one really veered off from the pure ghost story I thought I was getting and turned into more of a straight up mystery thriller as we do learn that these ghosts are linked to Peter Bower's (Brody) past. And once Peter figures out his patients are ghosts he has to revisit his childhood to figure out why they're haunting him. As a child Peter and a friend witnessed a tragic train accident on the outskirts of their small Australian town. The boys may have had something to do with the accident when they left their bikes by the tracks on a mission to spy on teenagers at a nearby "lovers lane". Fortunately Peter's father (George Shevtsov) was the ranking police officer who helped cover for the boys, but now, all these years later, the ghosts of that night are back and trying to tell Peter something. Now the mysteries really start to unravel as we learn of suppressed memories, the death of Peter's own daughter, a serial killer, police corruption, and cover-up on top of cover-up…plus the vengeance of the dead.
Backtrack had a well crafted story, that took advantage of the supernatural for some frights, but didn't entirely rely on the supernatural to tell its story. The ghosts involved did keep you guessing, which I thought was part of the charm. The acting was solid and the story was good, with a few frights and a good "jump scare" along the way. I don't actually know what made me watch Backtrack, as I'm not really a "horror" fan, and I'd say that ghost stories would certainly fall into the genre of horror. It was probably because of the strong mystery/thriller aspects that I enjoyed Backtrack, and perhaps the slight association with The Sixth Sense was what initially made me watch it. Either way, I'm glad that I did.
Bottom Line: It may not be pure horror, and as such may not appeal to total horror fans, but if you're looking to add a little thrill to your evening's entertainment, I'd say Backtrack is worth watching.

Infusing liqueur into baked goods is an excellent way to add flavor and a bit of fun. This Irish cream poundcake is a perfect dessert to serve on St. Patrick's Day, but it's also a great year-round treat. Because poundcake is dense, you can drizzle additional Irish cream onto slices just before serving for a truly decadent experience!
Gather Your Ingredients
The star of poundcake is Irish cream, and while store bought liquors will absolutely work, this is an excellent recipe to include using my easy homemade Irish cream.
Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Loaf Pan
Place an oven rack on a center shelf, and preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan (I prefer to use baking spray with flour, but butter or shortening will also work). Line the bottom of the loaf pan with parchment paper. Optional: set the loaf pan on a baking sheet. Since the loaf pan is small, this makes it much easier to transfer the cake in and out of the hot oven.
Whisk the Dry Ingredients
In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, and baking powder.
Cream the Butter and Sugar
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream the butter and sugar on medium high speed for 3 to 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Use a spatula to scrape down the bowl, all the way to the bottom.
Add the Remaining Ingredients
Turn the mixer speed down to low, and slowly add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, allowing each to fully incorporate before adding the next. Scrape the bowl down periodically, and do not rush. Once the eggs are incorporated, turn the mixer up to medium and swiftly alternate between adding the dry ingredients, the 1/4 cup Irish cream, and the vanilla extract, until everything is incorporated (there will be a higher ratio of dry to wet ingredients being added). Scrape the bottom of the bowl once again to make sure there are no flour patches at the bottom, and mix for an additional 5 to 15 seconds if needed.
Pour the Batter Into the Loaf Pan
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and use a regular or offset spatula to even out the top. Place in the oven and bake for 65 to 70 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out of the center clean.
Cool to Room Temperature
Let the cake cool for 5 minutes in the pan and then gently flip onto a cooling rack. Allow the cake to cool to room temperature.
The cake can be served by itself, but I highly recommend drizzling slices with 1 to 2 teaspoons of Irish cream. The poundcake will soak up the liqueur like a sponge with results similar to rum cake. It's decadent.

How to transfer a WebDynpro archive to another WebAS?
I'm looking for a step by step guide for transfering a WebDynpro archive (export and import) from one system to another. The reason is we have a WebAS Java only system on Netweaver 2004 and we have set up a new Netweaver 2004s with ABAP and Java. We also have a new SLD for the new system, the old SLD is running on the Java only system.
So I like to copy my application to the new system and I will be able to edit this in the developer studio. I was looking around for a user guide but I haven't found one.
I believe this should be the same procedure like delivering an application to a customer.
Regards, Nils.
PS: Sorry for the double post but maybe I had this question in wrong section first.

In yet another leap, the tech giant Apple is expected to unveil a bevy of products. This includes two new updates of the iPhone 7 series to be possibly named iPhone 7s and iPhone 7s plus, and a high-end iPhone 8. A new 4K Apple TV and a new Apple watch are the other products that the tech giant is gearing up to announce. The big iPhone 8 announcement event is scheduled for September 12.
OLED Display Speculated Reason for Premium Pricing of iPhone 8
Marking to be an anniversary edition with price speculated to start at US$1,000, the iPhone 8 could be the most expensive iPhone so far. According to reports, the premium version of iPhone 8 is expected to be priced at US$999, however, it is not clear if this will be for the highest storage variant or the one with basic memory capability. While the pricing of iPhone 8 is still shaky, whatever it may be, it will be a significant hike from the price of a 32GB variant of iPhone 7 at US$649. However, the iPhone 7 with 256GB is priced at US$969 in the U.S., closely priced to iPhone 8.
Other sources reveal that iPhone 8 with base storage options will start at US$870, while the ones with higher storage will cost US$1,000. The OLED display and glass design are the likely reasons for the premium price of iPhone 8.
The display of iPhone 8 is reported to have a display that will take up the entire front of the device and will use OLED panels that are brighter and colorful than the screens of predecessor devices. According to speculations, the fingerprint reader has been moved to the back in the iPhone 8, and will also support facial recognition.

It is difficult to summarize the life of Susan B Anthony, her passion for the rights of all Americans, and specifically how tirelessly she worked as a suffragist for women's right to vote. Therefore, we encourage you to visit her home in Rochester, historic landmarks in Seneca Falls, and her final resting place in Mount Hope Cemetery to dive deeper into her remarkable life.
Susan Brownell Anthony's home in the City of Rochester
At the National Susan B Anthony Museum & House, you can immerse yourself in the details of her personal history. Her childhood home was the headquarters of the National American Woman Suffrage Association. Miss Anthony's passion for securing women's right to vote started with her work as an agent of the anti-slavery movement, actively campaigning and influencing the 13th (abolished slavery), 14th (citizenship), and 15th (rights of all male citizens to vote) Amendments to the United States Constitution. Ultimately she fought for equal rights for all Americans, though she felt strongly that women needed the vote if they were to influence public affairs.
Down the street in the square is a sculpture of Susan B Anthony and Frederick Douglass having tea, no doubt discussing how to right so many wrongs. She and Douglass shared a lifelong friendship and partnership in the fight for equal rights.
More Places in Rochester, NY
She led several other women to cast their votes in the presidential election near the current 1872 Café on Main St.
In 1900, she persuaded the University of Rochester to admit women. The Susan B. Anthony Center is named in her honor. Their mission: The Susan B. Anthony Center works to bring awareness to, and advocate for, social justice and equality. We work in collaboration with the University community and partner with a wide range of local, national, and international organizations to fulfill our goal of translating research into policy. We conduct this work in the spirit of Susan B. Anthony, who fought tirelessly throughout her life for the betterment of disenfranchised populations. For the past 60 years, the have held the Susan B. Anthony Legacy Awards.
Miss Anthony's final resting place is in the "old north" section of Mount Hope Cemetery.
Seneca Falls, NY
The history of the Women's Suffrage Movement has points of interest throughout Western New York, including the Women's Rights National Historic Park and National Women's Hall of Fame in Seneca Falls, NY. Susan B. Anthony served as vice-president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and as president when Elizabeth Cady Stanton retired. It wasn't until 1920 that the 19th Amendment was passed and women won the right to vote. Susan was not alive to see that day having died in 1906, yet it is commonly referred to as the Susan B Anthony Amendment.

The squad has been training for over 6 months and has developed into a strong team. Coach Ryan Burns believes he has the right combination to be competitive in the South Pacific Games. Coach Burns stated that the team has excellent balance and versatility with great depth in both the guards and the forwards and also a balance of offensive and defensive players."Having a squad of 17 players has made trainings very competitive and the players have really pushed each other each training session. This has been one of the reasons for the team's improvement over the months," says coach Burns. "These 12 players should be appraised their achievement and remember that as representatives of their country they have a job to do at the South Pacific Games." Ryan Burns congratulates these 12 players, as they were initially apart of a squad of 27 players that has been gradually trimmed to the final team. Ryan Burns stated that the non traveling reserves are still very much part of the team as they will also play an important role in the preparations over the next month with competitive match play at trainings that will push all players to their limits.

Maurizio Sarri has rejected talk of Gonzalo Higuain potentially joining Chelsea this summer.
The Blues boss was quizzed about the Juventus forward, who he previously worked with at Napoli, after his side's pre-season penalty shootout win over Inter.
Sarri responded by telling Sky Italia: "Gonzalo Higuain? I'm waiting for Alvaro Morata to give the best of himself."
Chelsea's existing front man had a bright start at Stamford Bridge, but went on to endure a tough first season in English football.
Morata wasn't selected in Spain's World Cup squad and has played in both of his club's two pre-season matches so far.
"He did very well [in the second match against Inter]," continued Sarri, "Much better than in Australia [the first game against Perth Glory].
"It gives me a lot of confidence."
Latest Chelsea News
With the striker situation seemingly put to bed, Maurizio Sarri went on to discuss another of his new team's ongoing transfer sagas.
Eden Hazard has been strongly linked with a potential move to Real Madrid for several years, but never more than now Cristiano Ronaldo has left the club.
"He's a strong player," Sarri. said of the Belgian, "One like him, all the coaches want to train him, but despite that he's also true that the strong player must remain motivated,
"We hope to be able to [keep him] and do it with the right motivations."

It seems that Legends of the High Seas may be delayed until Christmas. Rob Broom at Warhammer Historical is trying his best to get the book out, but he is after all a one man show. So I eagerly await just like everyone else the release of the book.
I also learned that Pete Borlace who did the layout work for the LotOW & LotHS book will be coming to Phoenix. I will be trying to meet up with the man who made my book come alive and make it top notch.
Any how not much been going on, have not felt like painting and with the last two weeks (see previous post) I have not felt like doing much. But we need to press on. Did play some BFG (Battle Fleet Gothic) and have been assembling ships for Mike. In fact I was able to throw some paint on a couple of ships last night. Will try and get pictures up soon.
Oh, I was going to do an update of some pics I took of my 1/48th scale armour I did, but Blogger was acting up and wouldn't upload any pictures. Will try in the next few days.

Greetings from my first CC Pastors Conference! I'm hoping to capture some thoughts in the sieve I call a brain in this blog. I'll open by sharing about getting down here. Let the games begin…
Getting here Sunday night
My dad and I travelled down from Portland together. Our flight was supposed to leave at 9:20pm and didn't leave until about 9:50pm. This put us in Ontario a little after midnight. We get to the car rental place and they didn't have any record of the reservation. Fortunately dad has his paperwork with him and we got it sorted out. We get to the hotel around 2:15 and the guy couldn't check us into our room for some reason. The guy wanted to get us in (the place was sold out) so we went to the room to find that it had ben turned over from the previous guest. That's why he couldn't check us in. The guy was cool and changed the bed (only one had been used) and got us some new towels. We got to bed around 2:45am. This was one of those days where, had we been in the flesh and not just rolling with the punches, not freaking out about stuff we had no control over, it could have been miserable. But, we kept our cool and just went with it. I think we were just happy to get to bed.
Day 1
There was a meeting for those who are on the senior pastor's email list at 10 this morning. I was good. There was a presentation about internet safety, and protecting yourself and family from porn and predators. Very scary stuff. It's way worse than is commonly known or talked about on the news.
The first official order of business of the day was lunch. That was weird. Only because when I was going to CCBC, I was the one serving people the food. Now I was on the other end being served. It was kinda creepy. I remember admiring the various groups that would come, especially the pastors, and wonder what it would be like. Now, I'm there and I wonder what these kids are thinking about when the see me! Scary.
After lunch Chuck spoke. It was good as always. After Chuck, Joe Focht spoke. Very real, very powerful stuff about the Father and Jesus all relating to Paul talking about knowing Christ and Him crucified. If you can get your hands on it, it's a good one.
After that We hung out in the coffee shop, got online and checked email. Then we went to the workshop on publishing. It was disgusting to learn how money driven the Christian publishing industry is. It really is all about money. It's a real Jesus and the money changers situation. But the good news is there are lots of avenues to get your stuff published, which is something I'd been thinking about for a while with that paper I have (if I ever finish it!). This was followed by dinner (again, creepy).
Bill Ritche had the podium this evening talking about 1 Corinthians 3. He was on fire tonight. His message about the absolute necessity of being continually empowered by, marinated in the Spirit, how it is and continually needs to be a defining characteristic of the CC movement, of the Jesus movement. It was exactly the kind of stuff we have been discussing over on SimpleMindedPreacher.com.
I'll end the day by commenting about seeing and hearing about people from Bible college days. Some were now pastors. Some were now mommies. Some left CC for an extreme theological view, one in particular that just shocked me. It was the guy who did our wedding. I knew he vanished for a while and I expected to hear any number of other things that might have happened to him, but not this. It will be interesting to be in Heaven and look back (I hope) at the intricately interwoven fabric of our lives. To see where some threads enter, and leave.
Add to that, it was interesting to meet some of the SMP guys face to face. Some of the faces aren't what I expected, only because it's hard to know a face from a 20×20 pixel avatar. Here is a little something Mike Macon took of me this morning.
OK, enough of that for tonight. I'm running out of energy from five ours of sleep last night. I will update more tomorrow as I have time. Nighty!

Be inspirationalPosted on November 3rd, 2011
Jason my son ran the Mt SAC 4k youth boys race last month and improved on your SV Rebels record by 10 seconds. He will be attending Royal next year and looked toward your record as motivation! Thanks for the inspiration!
Just received this message via facebook. In my last post I wrote that I worked hard as a collegiate athlete to reach my goals. Every session I found countless ways to motivate myself to keep pushing. I remember during my final cross country season last year, I commonly said to myself, "All-American. All-American. All-American." I would repeat it over and over and over again until the day's work was done. It got me through mile repeats at Ft. Tuthill and long progression runs out at Bellemont.
But very rarely, if ever, did I use the power of my own performance over someone else's for motivation. I set that "record" that this dad told me about probably 10 years ago. 10 years after giving it my all out on the hollowed grounds of the Mt. Sac cross country course, a kid comes along and uses my performance as motivation to be better — better than I was and better than himself. How cool is that?
There seems to be a theme developing here: hard work. I was recently watching a video of a training session with 3x Ironman World Champ Craig Alexander where he said, "The people that win don't just have the most talent; they work the hardest." I am coming to the sport of triathlon with very little swim or bike experience, but I am naive enough to think I have what it takes to be great regardless. I have an attitude and mindset in my favor. I will work hard and be inspired by others' performances, in hopes that my hard work will someday inspire someone else. Try it yourself. It is incredibly powerful.Tweet
My legacyPosted on October 17th, 2011
While I was competing as a Lumberjack for the NAU Cross Country team I worked hard. I had big goals coming into college, and after a few years, it became clear that some of those goals were just too lofty for me. I kept my head down and plugged away, putting my heart and soul into every race, workout, and run out on the trails. Each year I got stronger, faster and ended up with what I consider a pretty successful career. With the help of Coach Heins, I felt like I did everything I could to reach my potential. And that was enough for me. I was always a team player, but deep down inside I did all this for me. I put in all the hard work so my future self could look back at it all with an overwhelming feeling of satisfaction. In the words of Quenton Cassidy's, "I discovered early on that the truly great advantage of going all-out every time is that later you don???t have to waste a single instant second-guessing yourself." It really is a great way to live.
Then my girlfriend Mo showed me this article, a Q&A with Tim Freriks in the Lumberjack newspaper:
LJ: From an athlete???s standpoint, there have been a lot of teammates, mentors and coaches that have influenced you as a player. Out of all of them in the past or present, who has influenced you the most in your career, or as a person?
TF: There are two big ones. One of which was my high school coach. He really influenced the mentality that I have now, working hard and grinding through it. And also Jason Pedersen; he???s a graduate assistant coach for us now. His mentality and work ethic is like second to none. He was running 110 miles a week, he ate right, slept well, [and was a] straight-A student in mechanical engineering, so it was a template I wanted to follow. He did it right and it paid off, so I want to do the same thing.
Suddenly I feel a new feeling. After reading those words from Tim, I no longer just feel satisfied of my running career at NAU. My efforts, my daily sacrifices, my commitment to myself meant something to someone else. And more than that, it has left an impression. If I had more accolades to my name I would call it a legacy, but my victories weren't the kind that you could hang on the mantel. It means so much to me that someone else recognizes that.Tweet
Am I wrong?Posted on June 23rd, 2011
In 2010, professional triathlete Jordan Rapp was on a bike ride in Oxnard when a car pulled out in front of him. Jordan didn't have time to react to the car and ended up smashing into the windshield, cutting his throat, and nearly bleeding to death. The car fled the scene, and was later found to be owned by an illegal immigrant. Basically a cyclists worst nightmare.
Fast forward to last week. I'm riding some hill intervals on Santa Susana Pass. As I crest the top of the hill heading back toward Simi Valley, huffing and puffing from the effort, a jeep turns right in front of me. I wasn't going too quick, maybe 15 mph or so, and I was able to brake/swerve out of the way. Unbelievable. Scary.
"Thanks Asshole!" I yell at the driver. I look back at the jeep in disgust, and astonishingly, it has stopped and began to make a u-turn. What could this jerk possibly have to say to me? He cut ME off!
The jeep catches up to me on the descent and rolls down the window. He looks to be in his mid 30s, blond and had a surfboard in the car. "Hey I just wanted to apologize for cutting you off back there." Huh, I guess he just didn't see me. Nice of him to apologize. But then he continued, "But could you apologize to my daughter for the profanity?" You have got to be kidding me! What a backhanded apology.
"Yeah. Sorry. Just watch out for bikers."
I had some inner conflict. If I hadn't said anything he probably never would have seen me. I guess a little girl doesn't need to hear bad language, but is "asshole" really such a bad word? I was upset. My word choice could have been a lot worse.
Am I wrong here? Has anyone had a similar situation?
After thinking about who was right and who was wrong, I started to wonder what could have been done to avoid the situation. This little altercation was a bit eye opening for me — I was on a wide road with fairly light traffic and I was still almost hit. Drivers clearly do not look out for cyclists. So what can we do besides wearing a helmet and being aware of what is going on around us?
Jordan found himself in a similar predicament once his wounds had healed…
Before getting back on the road, I thought about what options I had to make myself more visible. Neon helmets, jerseys, etc. all crossed my mine. But ultimately, I wanted something that dramatically caught the eye, and the obvious thought was a flashing light. On cars, the presence of daytime running lights contributes to a greatly reduced risk of a head-on collision. Add in a flash, and I figured that drivers would pay even greater attention.
The above excerpt is from a series Jordan began writing for Slowtwitch called "Stay Safe. Be Seen." He has reviewed several different lights intended for daytime use so that cyclists can be seen and stay safe. I intend to go through the reviews and purchase a set of lights so I can try to avoid an accident like Jordan had, or another awkward apology for my "profanity." I will post which one I decide to go with, hopefully in the coming weeks.
Thanks for your help, Jordan.Tweet
Catching up with David McNeill and Bernard LagatPosted on May 5th, 2011
David McNeill??? Bernard "The F'n G" Lagat??? Yep, right now they are training in the running meca of the world, Flagstaff, Arizona. And I have shared a few meals with them.
I envy myself.
EDIT: As I'm sitting here watching some recent "Workout Wednesday's" that were filmed in Flagstaff and the surrounding areas (Sedona), I thought it would be fitting to share those here. Like I said, "running meca."

Yellow Aspens and Green PinesPosted on October 23rd, 2010
Competitive running can be a tough pursuit. As I often highlight on this blog, racing and training can be brutal both physically and mentally. It is necessary to push yourself nearly everyday to reach your potential. However, there is a time and place for easy runs. It is on these days that you often have thoughts like, "wow, I am so lucky I get to do this everyday." You remember the pure joy you can get from lacing up the shoes, heading out the door, and getting lost with your thoughts (or with great conversation with friends) as you meander through the trails — gently logging your trials of miles, miles of trials. Today was one of those days.
Andrew Belus, Eric Lynch, John Yatsko, Myles Kloer and I met up near the Nordic Center off Hwy 180 outside Flagstaff to enjoy the last of the fall colors near the mountain. I knew it would be a beautiful run, and here is a video I made of our adventure.Tweet
My one piece of advicePosted on September 1st, 2010
If I could give one piece of advice to any runner, it would be to always keep a training log.
(. . . although "always wear sunscreen" isn't bad either)
For the last two years or so I have been diligent about writing in my own training log. I always include time, distance, heart rate if I have it (which I usually do) and how I felt. I often add more: something about the route, who I ran with. Sometimes I get really detailed and include conversations or thoughts that ran through my head (no pun intended).
Looking back on my training logs offers several practical benefits — it gives you the ability to compare your fitness to the past and to try to pinpoint what training sessions may have caused an injury or possibly led to a break-out race, to name a few. But it is the intangibles that keeps me perusing old workouts and training runs for hours. It's those entries where I elaborate and go beyond the numbers that are golden.
My running career as I know it is dated. The end of my 2011 track season will mark the end of 9 years of competing for my school's cross country and track teams (Royal HS and NAU) and 18 years of competition with some sort of team (Running Rebels youth track club). Almost sounds depressing, but it's not. I have so many fond memories of training and racing with coaches and teammates, whom are now lifelong friends, that I will hold onto. Some of these memories I will be able to relive through my log entries whenever I want, and, unfortunately, some will likely be forgotten.
As I write this, I realize this is at the core of why I started writing a blog about training in the first place. For the most part, it is just a public way of remembering my races and workouts, and sometimes what lies in between.
So if you are a runner (which I would think is fairly likely if you are a reader of "runpd.com") grab a pen and paper after your next run (or log onto your online training log of choice) and write down something about it; don't let it be another forgotten run.
You can thank me later.Tweet
Being an Optimist, Jack Daniels WayPosted on April 30th, 2010
The great collection of running videos that is Flotrack has a series called "Thirsty Thursdays with Jack Daniels." Of course Jack Daniels isn't their drink of choice on a lonely Thursday; Jack Daniels is one of the most famous American distance running coaches (Daniels' Running Formula). Each Thursday, more or less, an interview with Daniels is posted with him commentating on various subjects. Yesterday's subject was about being optimistic.
When coming out of an injury, being optimistic is easy. There is no doubt in my mind that tomorrow will be better than today, that next week I will be able to handle 5 more miles than last week, that I'll be back racing in a matter of months. It is when the tough training begins and the biggest races loom that being optimistic is most important, but also difficult.
Daniels, and his infinite wisdom on all that is distance running, has a little more to share… (broadcasting from a common training location in Flagstaff, Buffalo Park. Notice the beautiful peaks in the background!)

Recommended ReadPosted on April 28th, 2010
Real quickly I want to direct your attention to Jordan Rapp's most recent blog post, "Mementous." I met Jordan at the Lasse Viren 20k in December and he seemed like a great guy. Unfortunately, he was injured while on a training ride about five weeks ago which left him full of screws and some plates in his face. Apparently he is doing much better now, even starting to exercise again, but is suffering from a bit of insomnia. If you read the post, you will see his lack of sleep is our gain. Brilliant writer with a great perspective of things. I highly recommend checking it out.Tweet

This is one of the reasons why I care about the financial well being of kids so much. I am sure many kids want to get it right as early as possible. One thing I am certain of is that if they are able to get it right early enough they will be able to achieve whatever they want to achieve as soon as possible. How then can you work towards making your child become rich? Here are some tips:
- Don't allow your child to take on degree after degree all because of money. More schooling is not a guarantee for a higher salary; neither is it a factor of how expensive the school is. What is actually required is more alignment with…

In times of such desperation where rights seemed to be challenged and stripped left and right, my very presence as an ANDROGYNOUS, gender fluid artist is a political statement. With Trump secretly working on dismantling LGBT, women's, and minorities' rights in this wonderful country of America, I myself must stand amongst others as a beacon of hope for the future of my people.
My inner "Cookie" has been unleashed in "Dripping in Gold" where I boldly assure that I won't let anyone step on me and my worth as a valuable contributor to society; I'm GOLDEN. I am a valuable asset just like everyone else who falls under the underdog umbrella, and will STAND up for myself while keeping those I represent in mind hoping that I showcase the greatness of my hard work, persistence, and determination no matter how challenging the obstacles may seem. See, I am a fighter; life has taught me that to survive, one must continue pushing and hustling. Nothing is just handed to you. While I am androgynous, ethnically ambiguous, and independently funded, one thing I can assure you that you'll find in me that you won't find in many others is heart and passion. Isn't it time that mainstream media had its first 21 century actively androgynous Pop Star who perfectly straddles the line between male and female? Aren't you ready for some new talent and excitement in today's pop world?
While building my "Empire" is still a work in progress, one thing I can assure you is that I won't cease to create. I'm an artist, and I have big dreams and aspirations, and I hope that my journey helps shine a glimpse of hope to people from all over the world and all walks of life who can relate to my story via my art work. I see each human as exactly who they are- a human being- and refuse to be confined by society's views on their social status, race, age, or sexuality. I want to thank you for your time and friendship. Remember- YOU ARE GOLDEN!! SHINE ON BABY and NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS!

Light is the most essential component in photography. How you as the photographer utilize that light is a creative choice that will make your nature images stand out from all others.
Learning to see how natural light falls on a subject takes some practice. Doing this simple exercise will help you understand a lot about the movement of the earth, about natural light and how that light changes throughout the day.
The Exercise:
1. Preferably before dawn or at first light, set up a still life with several objects on a table. The objects should have full sun for the entire day.
2. Put your camera on a tripod and keep it in that same position for each subsequent image.
3. Set a timer so that you take one photograph every hour.
Your goal at the end of the day is to see all of the photographs in progression. You'll begin to see how natural light plays an important role in the outcome of your images and how the three components of photographic light (direction, quantity/quality, and color) make a difference in the outcome and impact of your images.
Let's go over a few basics, so you can learn to observe the effects of natural light on your chosen subject.
The Direction of Light
Light coming from one side or another will enhance the form and texture of the subject.
Light coming from the front (the source is behind the photographer) lacks shadow and contrast and therefore makes the image appear flat.
Light coming from behind the subject creates a full or partial silhouette. The texture of the object can often be seen right along the edges and it's called "rim light." Of all light, this is probably the most dramatic.
The direction of the light as it strikes the subject can have a substantial impact on the mood of the image.
The Quality of Light
Is it early in the morning or late in the afternoon? Are you photographing on a bright sunny day or when it is foggy or overcast? Are you out in the sun or under a tree in the shade? The amount of light shining on an object will make an immense difference in how the subject appears in your images.
An overcast or cloudy day gives a non-directional diffused light. Shadows and highlights blend together. Without intense shadows or strong highlights, the color of the object seems more intense.
Contrast this to walking along the beach on a bright sunny day. You tend to squint because the light is hard and there is a great deal of glare bouncing off the sand and sea. This is called "specular highlight" or "specular reflection." It's basically a direct reflection of the light source on the surface of an object. Specular highlights cause the color of the object to appear less saturated. The use of a polarizing filter can soften or eliminate these highlights when you are in a bright light situation in the same way your polarized sunglasses do it.
The Color of Light
There is a world of difference in the color of the light, depending on what hour of the day you are photographing or whether or not is sunny or cloudy.
As with the experiment above, you probably noticed that when photographing during midday conditions, the light is non-directional on the subject. There will be a hard contrast between shadows and highlights, as well as non-saturated colors.
In contrast to hard light, the "magic" hours of sunrise and sunset have the light source near the horizon, low and at an angle. The light is passing through more of the atmosphere, which makes for those warm color tones. You'll see anything from brilliant red, orange and yellow colors to soft, warm glowing pinks and lavenders. These times of day produce exceptional quality and color of the light.
So now that you have an idea of what you are looking for as you work to make creative light choices, here are 10 basic tips and ideas that will help you take advantage of natural light and make your photographs breathtaking.
1. Look for light and shadows. Diagonal light gives wonderful long shadows that show the elements of shape and form. Light coming from the side of the subject shows the details in surface features as well as the shape. Learn to use the play of light and shadow to create strong compositions.
2. Watch how light along the edges of objects changes the appearance of the object. Those special "ribbons of light" can lead the viewer around the image, highlight the subject and make the composition stronger.
3. Use light to set a mood. Think of yourself as a lighting director in the theater. How are you going to say romantic or dramatic with your light? Are you going to take advantage of the direction, amount or color of light and how are you going to do that in order to make your subject the most important thing in the photograph?
4. Look for subjects that are in the light but against a dark background and dark objects framed against a light background. This contrast of light and dark makes the subject stand out.
5. When photographing an object in bright sun, walk around the object to see the various angles of light on the subject. Side light and back light may just be your best options. Use a polarizing filter to help take the glare off of leaves or water in bright sunny conditions.
6. Use your flash out doors to fill in or soften the shadows of direct sunlight. This fill flash can really makes portraits or close-up images look terrific in natural light. The main light will come from the sun and the flash will lighten the dark shadows so you will be able to see the fine details in the shadow areas.
7. When a storm is coming or breaking up, look for shafts of light coming through breaks in the clouds or around the edges of the clouds. They are wonderful "spotlights" that make a landscape magic. And remember to always turn around to see how the light is affecting other parts of the scene. This is good advice for those sunsets and sunrises as well.
8. In overcast weather, look for color. Misty or cloudy days make the color of flowers intense. And after a rain shower the water drops (lead photo) and puddles act like little reflective and sparkling mirrors.
9. Go out before dawn and stay after sunset to get beautiful soft light and warm glows. Be sure to take the tripod because your exposures will be longer. It will be difficult to make a sharp image if you handhold the camera
10. Stuck inside on a bad-weather day. Utilize the light coming through the window and observe its qualities. It can be soft and moody and light your subject beautifully or used to create a magical silhouette. Be sure to use your tripod and you'll make an exceptional still life or portrait. Here, the dirty window adds interest to the image of a woman working in her clay pot studio.
When photographing anything "under the sun", watch the light and use it in a dynamic way. Experiment with some of the tips above and see how your new awareness of natural light helps you make your images outstanding.

Int'l Cooperation
Last updated: Thursday, February 21, 2019
VN, RoK Strive to Raise Trade Volume to US$100 BlnPosted: Wednesday, November 22, 2017
Viet Nam and the Republic of Korea vowed to raise the two-way trade value to US$100 billion by 2020.
Permanent Deputy PM Truong Hoa Binh paid courtesy call on Korean PM Lee Nak-yon on Tuesday as part of his on-going visit to Northeast Asian country.
Deputy PM Binh extended thanks to the Korean Government for offering US$1 million to help the central provinces to overcome consequences caused by recent storm.
The two sides expressed their pleasure at the extensive and intensive development of the Viet Nam-RoK relations over the past years, discussing ways to further strengthen political trust and expand bilateral cooperation.
Both sides agreed to effectively implement their free trade agreement in order to raise the two-way trade volume to US$100 billion by 2020 while enhancing cooperation in culture, education, tourism, labor and people-to-people exchanges.
The two leaders also agreed to continue coordination at multilateral forums.
Deputy PM Binh welcomed Korean investors to pour capital in such areas as high technologies, environmental protection, processing and manufacturing, and infrastructure among others in Viet Nam.
He also welcomed more investments from the RoK to spur the restructuring of State-owned enterprises, commercial banks, and special administrative-economic units.
He suggested the Korean Government facilitate import of Vietnamese farm produce, especially rice, fresh fruits like star apple, rambutan, longan, and litchi and support Viet Nam to join global supply chain.
Deputy PM Binh also suggested the RoK create favorable conditions for the Vietnamese community to live and work in the country and sign an agreement on civil assistance.

Bellevue, February 16 – WSRP Chairman Susan Hutchison issued the following statement today:
"President Donald Trump made the promise of nominating a Supreme Court justice in the mold of Justice Antonin Scalia a centerpiece of his campaign, and he fulfilled the promise when he nominated Judge Neil Gorsuch — an eminently qualified judge with a sterling track record of faithfully interpreting the Constitution. However, Senator Murray and her fellow Senate Democrats are playing politics by holding the ninth seat of the Supreme Court hostage. Elections have consequences, and Senator Murray should remember that as she meets with Judge Gorsuch today."

Alongside the Gobi and Karakum, the Takla Makan is one of the most famous Asian deserts. Situated in the southeastern portion of China, the literal translation of this forbidding terrain is "go in and never come out." It is a vast expanse of sand dunes and occasional oases. In 1964, the Chinese government conducted atomic bomb test detonations in the Lop Nor area of the desert. Due to its sparse flora and fauna, the arid region was an excellent uninhabited locale for this kind of experimentation.
This shrub is native to the central Asian deserts. Growing in thickets, the Tamarisk—also known as the Salt cedar—seeks out the lowest levels along the sand dunes. There the groundwater is about 10 to 15 feet below the surface of the sand, which allows the Salt Cedar to access it via a lengthy tap root. These opportunistic plants thrive in alkaline as well as saline soils and feature green foliage tinged with gray.
Flower colorings include white and pink and make for an astonishing sight in the otherwise seemingly lifeless environment. Vegetative underground spread ensures survival when there is insufficient soil saturation for seed germination and subsequent sexual propagation. Introduced into the United States, the Tamarisk's unique survival mechanism soon turned it into an invasive species that successfully out-competes other plants for water; it requires close monitoring and management outside its native growing areas.
Nitre Bush
The Nitre bush is a perennial shrub that is tolerant to saline growing conditions. It produces edible fruits (drupes) that have a distinctive salty taste. The plant is native to northern Asia but also to Russia as well as Australia. Much like the Tamarisk, Nitre bushes seek out the lowest points of the sand dunes to gain access to the ground water via long tap roots.
Oleaster, an evergreen shrub that horticulturists also know as the Russian olive, spreads at the edge of the Takla Makan Desert, where the groundwater is closer to the surface and the sand dunes give way to deltas and also river valleys. It is native to Asia.
After its introduction to the United States, it quickly turned into an invasive species due to its opportunistic characteristics, which in some areas caused it to endanger native plants and trees. Like the Tamarisk and the Nitre bush, it has a high tolerance for salt and droughts. Unlike these plants, it does not develop a root system deep enough to reach groundwater that is not close to the surface.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Turnovers were the straw that broke the Camels' back, as Jacksonville University roared back from a 14-point deficit to defeat Campbell, 54-48, at Barker-Lane Stadium in triple overtime.
Lamar Washington, Prince Gray and Irvin Riley recorded touchdowns in the extra periods, before the Dolphin defense forced a four-and-out on Campbell's final opportunity.
By the end of regulation, Jacksonville was credited with four forced turnovers and scored 10 points on the miscues. In the decision, it improves to 9-0 all-time versus Campbell.
"I'm just so proud of this team," said Head Coach Ian Shields. "After what happened last week, to get beat by San Diego by 53 points, we needed this. I'm proud of the leadership. All the guys bought in, and it was a heck of an effort by both teams, two good football teams."
A pair of interceptions thrown by each quarterback in the opening half were critical to the game's action.
Jacksonville's first pass attempt landed in the hands of Campbell's Donta Simmons, and resulted in six points for the home side a play later. The teams traded turnovers from there on, halting progress and solid field position with each takeaway.
Thomas Oporto was the first Dolphin to nab an interception, sliding under a Camel receiver in his first game back from injury, and CJ Lewis repeated the act just before halftime. The picks concluded Campbell drives on the Dolphin 26 and 28 yard line, respectively.
The Camels led Jacksonville, 17-10, at the break. Dolphin points were recorded in the second quarter on a 20-yard field goal by Javier Arce-Ramirez (11:27) and a 17-yard rush by Keenan Simpson (4:15).
After trading interceptions in the first half, the teams traded touchdowns to start the second.
The Dolphins' second touchdown of the day was backed, in large part, by the legs of Rylan Wells.
On third down with four to go, the quarterback marched 40 yards downfield to move the chains to Campbell's 16 yard line, before capping the drive with a one yard, rushing touchdown.
Wells is now fifth all-time in program history with 19 career rushing scores.
He continued to spark his team's efforts on a critical fourth down opportunity, where he notched a first down on a fake punt. A snap later, Pernell Rattray found the end zone from 19 yards out.
The Dolphins stared a one-possession deficit for much of the third quarter, until Crandall Maines' forced fumble with 46 seconds remaining in the frame. His strip sack put the Dolphins at the Campbell 27, and led to Washington tying the game at 31-all.
The score marked the first stalemate of the day since the scoreless open.
Back-to-back fumbles, the latter a strip by Emon Smith and recovery by Tommy Mack, opened the door for JU's first lead at 34-31.
Campbell tied the game on the ensuing drive to give Jacksonville the ball with 2:29 remaining.
Ironically enough, on this date, 17 years ago, Jacksonville handed Stony Brook a 17-14 loss at home in double overtime. It was the last time JU pushed a game to an extra period.
"It was a little bit of a track meet," said Shields. "Both teams had a hard time getting stops, but one play was the difference and we made one more than they did."
The Dolphins return to D.B. Milne Field for their next two games versus Valparaiso (Nov. 4) and Stetson (Nov. 11).
