{"text": "Without Alex Rodriguez in the lineup, Yankees GM Brian Cashman said that he doesn’t think that the Yankees will trade for a third baseman, but he does plan to see what’s out there.\n“I think we will get Alex back,” Cashman told Joel Sherman of the NY Post. .”\n“I think pricetag will be the only issue,” Cashman said. “If something makes sense, we will do it.”\nThe Yankees will look, but I wouldn’t be surprised if they did nothing at all. Even if it takes A-Rod longer than expected to return he is still expected back by the playoffs. Until then they will go with Eric Chavez and probably Eduardo Nunez once he’s played in a few more games.\nThat’s a solid platoon combo as Chavez hits righties very well, .287/.344/.510 this season, and Nunez hits lefties well, .287/.327/.427. Jayson Nix also does decently against lefties, hitting .275/.302/.451 this season.\nIf anything, I could see the Yankees going after somebody to upgrade over Nix especially if that person hits lefties well. Then the Yankees could not only have a stopgap for A-Rod, but a deeper bench once he returns too."}
{"text": "Canada and the U.S. have agreed to extend restrictions on non-essential travel across their shared border another 30 days.\nThe current agreement was set to expire Thursday (May 21), however, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau confirmed Tuesday the two countries aren’t ready to loosen restrictions just yet.\n“It was the right thing to do,” he said during his daily media briefing in which he also extended condolences to Snowbird Capt. Jenn Casey, who died in a crash Sunday in Kamloops.\n“My thoughts and the thoughts of all Canadians are with the families of Capt. Casey, Capt. [Richard] MacDougall and the entire Snowbirds team. This has been a very difficult few weeks for members of the Canadian Armed Forces.”\nRegarding the border restrictions, Trudeau said it’s imperative that Canadians returning to the country are properly followed up on and stay in isolation to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.\n“We’re working closely with the provinces to ensure the arrival of people into Canada — even now — but certainly once we get to the point that non-essential travel picks up again in the coming months … we need to have strong measures in place and we’re looking at those closely,” he said outside his home in Ottawa.\nThe prime minister also announced the federal government is expanding eligibility of its business loan program.\nThe Canada Emergency Business Account allows banks to offer $40,000 loans guaranteed by government to eligible businesses that will come interest-free for the first year.\nUnder certain conditions, $10,000 of the loan will be forgivable.\nTrudeau said eligibility is being expanded to businesses with sole ownerships, those that rely on contractors and family businesses that pay through dividends.\nAbout 600,000 businesses have applied for the loan amid the pandemic.\nThe latest announcements from Ottawa come the same day much of B.C.’s economy begins restarting in earnest as provincial restrictions loosen for businesses such as restaurants.\nOn the West Coast, dining establishments will be collecting contact information from at least one patron at each table for 30 days in the event contact tracing is necessary.\nTrudeau said the federal government is working with the provinces on developing a national framework for testing and contact tracing as more economies begin opening up again.\nHe said those two elements are “key” to a reopened Canadian economy.\n“We need to make sure right across the country that we have a strong capacity to respond wherever there might be a resurgence or flare-up of COVID-19, and that means having significant resources at the availability of all regions and provinces,” Trudeau said.\n“We’re going to be moving forward on ramping up massively our testing and our contact tracing.”\nMeanwhile, former U.S. vice-president Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee for the Americans’ 2020 presidential elections, said Monday he would cancel the Keystone XL pipeline project if he were elected.\nThe Keystone XL pipeline runs from Alberta and Saskatchewan and into the U.S.\nTrudeau said he would work with any U.S. government and advocate on behalf of the pipeline’s economic importance to both countries."}

Briefly and as succinctly as possible will be recorded in the following lines the leading facts in the life of a very active and successful man, one of the leading farmers of Hughes township and a worthy citizen of Nodaway county. Samuel Hayworth was born in the state of Iowa, August 5, 1846, and he was reared in Appanoose county, that state, where he attended the common schools and where he began farming on his father's place. He remained in that county until September, 1868, when he came to Nodaway county, Mis- souri, and rented a farm four miles north of Graham, in Hughes township, where he lived until March, I872, when he rented a farm east of Graham, living there three years. Then, in the fall of 1875 he bought eighty acres of wild land where he has since made his home and which he has developed into a good farm, having settled permanently on this land in March, I876. He has erected a very neat and comfortable dwelling and other good buildings on the place. As he prospered here he has purchased other land until he now owns two hundred and forty acres in this county and eighty acres in Brown county, Kansas.

Sadly, the ultra-liberal council not only removed the prohibition, they fired Seth Jahn for standing up against them.\nUS Soccer president Cindy Cone & CEO Will Wilson are saying they didn't hear all the remarks made by Seth Jahn, a member of the powerful USSF Athlete Council, at today's federation AGM.

He also correctly noted that America deserved credit for going to war to end slavery, that police killing unarmed black men was a rare event and that they shouldn’t be politicizing sports.\nNot only did 71% of the liberal soccer council vote to allow players to disrespect the flag, they bounced Jahn off of the council for telling them the truth. In a statement to Fox News, the council said,\n“The athlete’s council does not tolerate this type of language and finds it incompatible with membership on the council.

{"text": "Friday, September 26, 2008\n\"Hezbollah has a chance to put its money where its mouth is,\" The Daily Star, September 20, 2008.\nBEIRUT – Since its emergence into the public sphere in 1985, Hezbollah has frequently been subjected to hostile media coverage that has effectively branded the group as a \"terrorist,\" \"Islamo-fascist,\" \"anti-Semitic\" entity. The party's repeated attempts to dispel these misperceptions have had limited effect, largely because the debate boils down to Hezbollah's word against that of the vast majority of the Western media. But the party is currently facing an opportunity to back some of its oft-repeated words with action––and thereby help repair its image both in Lebanon and abroad.\nMany Hezbollah officials have tried, especially in recent years, to stress that although the resistance arm of the party is at war with Israel, the group does not have any animosity toward Judaism or members of the Jewish faith. But because the Jewish community in Lebanon has dwindled to such small numbers, rarely does Hezbollah have a chance to demonstrate the sincerity of these statements. But an opportunity to do just that might be located in Downtown Beirut's Wadi Abu Jamil district, the home of the Maghen Abraham Synagogue.\nLike countless other places of worship across Lebanon, the synagogue was ironically damaged by Israeli forces, but unlike most mosques and churches that have been or are being rebuilt; Maghen Abraham has remained in a state of disrepair since 1982. A leader of Lebanon's tiny Jewish community, Isaac Arazi, is reportedly engaged in an effort to raise $1 million to restore the synagogue to its previous condition, but he has so far only secured a small fraction of the needed funds. Hezbollah spokesman Hussein Rahal has already been quoted in the Western media as saying that his party supports the restoration of the building, so why doesn't the party demonstrate the truth of these words by acting on them?\nHezbollah has already helped several churches in the country secure the funds needed to rebuild their properties that were damaged by the Israelis during their 2006 bombardment of Lebanon, including the Mar Youssef Church in the southern suburbs of Beirut. It is only logical that the party's leadership would be willing to expand this initiative and help rebuild the Maghen Abraham Synagogue, or at least call upon its supporters to contribute to the Jewish community's fundraising effort. Such a gesture would go a long way toward demonstrating Hezbollah's genuine commitment, as expressed by the party's leader, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, to preserving Lebanon's pluralism.Recommend this Post"}

Everywhere includes any particular place.<BR/><BR/>Also, anybody can ask a question that they already know the answer to - As a father who catches his child in red-handed disobedience might ask - So it's not necessarily a contradiction for an omniscient being to ask questions. Just because God sometimes sends messengers to do things on His behalf doesn't mean He couldn't do them Himself - And that includes gathering information.<BR/><BR/>Also, in case anybody wants to bring it up, I have, personally, in the past, been surprised by something I already knew was going to happen, so being surprised by something is no proof that one didn't know it was going to happen.<BR/><BR/>Also: Wikipedia is just an easy way to point people to a quick summary of the facts. The idea of the One is very important in Pythagorean thought, in which the entire universe is made of numbers. One is the first (or 'primary', if you will) number - So Unity, or Monad, or (as Plato would say) The Form of the One, was one of the closest things they had to the Christian idea of God.<BR/><BR/>That's just to point out that the idea of the One and the idea of God are very closely linked in Western thought, and the roots of those ideas are as early as the Pythagoreans, who were some of the earliest of Greek thinkers. Anybody can look this up, and wikipedia is a good place to start.Logismous Kathairountes only does God evolve in the Hebrew Bible via an...No only does God evolve in the Hebrew Bible via anthrophic traits, his essence (if not Yahweh himself) lived in a box called the “Ark of the Covenant” made popular in modern times by the hit movie “Raiders of the Lost Ark”. Thus, this God in a Box /Ark could be stolen by the Philistines which (with such an act) left Israel without a god (1 Samuel 4 – 5). It is only when the local god Yahweh is finally merged with EL, Ba’al and the attributes of several more Canaanite gods do we finally have a Jewish sky god.<BR/><BR/>This “God in a Box” is the god that “Tented” with Israel in the wilderness and was the concept of god which the deported Jews carried into exile and, later, formed the bases of the Synagogue of the Diaspora after the Romans burnt him out of his house in 70CE..Harry McCall said...

The existence of a word does not entail existence of belief. The ancient Jews did not have wholly consistent beliefs in the nature of God. Start in Genesis 3:8-13. God walks in the garden, God asks questions to which He seems not to know the answer (\"Where art thou?\"; \"Who told thee that thou wast naked?\"), Adam and Eve hide from the presence of God. God sends angels to find out if Sodom has 10 righteous people; He doesn't just know, He sends angels to find out. He can be argued with, persuaded, angered, is jealous, loving, and gets tired. Jewish traditions later written in the OT and the Talmud suggest that they thought of God as sometimes corporeal, sometimes incorporeal, but almost always heavily anthropomorphized.

Do you still believe in the existence of the firmament?Shygetz have recently had discussions with Christian fri...I have recently had discussions with Christian friends and when my points seem to refute their claims about their God, they soon retreat to a position of God being some force or power that we cannot explain - one went to far as to tell me God was some sort of wave of light involved in holding string theory together - thus moving the discussion into details of physics that I did not know enough specifically about to argue. But in the process, that God seems to have moved away from one who might hold a personal interest in answering prayer, for example, but that apparent inconsistency seemed not to bother him, as he had found a place for God that I could no longer debate. And when physicists figure out a way to explain the place he has retreated his God to, I assume he will retreat that God to whatever physics still has not explained.goprairie for the info on Mt.

{"text": "After playing a significant role in Arizona's NL West championship run a year ago, Ian Kennedy will try to help the Diamondbacks achieve a more modest goal this season.\nThe right-hander will try to deliver a winning season for his team while earning a fifth consecutive victory Wednesday against the Colorado Rockies.\nKennedy's 21-4 record in 2011 left him in a tie for the NL wins lead. He also posted a 2.88 ERA and struck out a career-high 198 while helping Arizona finish 94-68.\nKennedy (15-11, 4.16 ERA) couldn't replicate that performance this year, but he has won nine times over his past 14 starts. Those victories have helped give the Diamondbacks (81-80) a chance at back-to-back winning campaigns for the first time since 2007-08.\n\"Winning never gets old,\" manager Kirk Gibson said.\nKennedy is 4-0 with a 3.00 ERA over his last six starts, beating the Chicago Cubs 8-3 on Friday despite issuing a season-high six walks. He became the fourth pitcher in franchise history with 15 or more wins in back-to-back seasons, joining Curt Schilling, Randy Johnson and Brandon Webb.\n\"To be in that company, it means a lot,\" Kennedy told the team's official website. \"Those are three great pitchers. It's an honor to be mentioned in the same breath and to be in that history of the Diamondbacks. Fifteen wins anywhere is an accomplishment.\"\nAaron Hill delivered Tuesday's 5-3 win over the Rockies by hitting a three-run homer with two outs in the ninth inning. John McDonald had a two-run shot during the club's sixth victory in nine home contests.\nThe Diamondbacks will try to finish strong Wednesday while sending Jeff Francis (5-7, 5.75) to another defeat. The left-hander was 0-3 with a 6.75 ERA in six September starts, giving up five runs over four innings in Friday's 8-0 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.\n\"I feel like I'm better than the way I performed, so I'm somewhat disappointed,\" Francis told the Rockies' official website.\nFrancis had a solid outing going against Arizona on Sept. 23 before reaching the Rockies' 75-pitch limit for starters. He allowed two runs and five hits over four innings in that game.\nHe also gave up two runs and five hits in earning a 4-2 victory in Phoenix on July 25, but he was extended to 97 pitches and made it through six innings.\nThat win snapped a string of six consecutive losing decisions against the Diamondbacks.\nKennedy, meanwhile, is seeking a fourth consecutive win over the Rockies and a third in as many home matchups. He has a 1.29 ERA in two meetings at Chase Field this year, but he gave up four runs and nine hits over six innings at Colorado on Sept. 23.\nHe avoided the loss in that game when his teammates scored seven runs in the final two innings of a 10-7 victory.\nThis time, Kennedy will face a team that's already set a franchise record for defeats. The Rockies (63-98), though, avoided their first 100-loss campaign thanks in part to a 7-5, 13-inning victory in Monday's series opener."}

{"text": "Habitat 67\nThe design of the complex stems directly from Moshe Safdie's undergraduate thesis research while an architecture student at MCGILL UNIVERSITY's School of Architecture.\nThe design of the complex stems directly from Moshe Safdie's undergraduate thesis research while an architecture student at McGill University's School of Architecture. In a report he wrote the summer of 1960 while travelling on a grant funded by the Central Mortgage and Housing Corporation, \"A Case for City Living. An Investigation into the Urban Dwelling for Families,\" Safdie probed alternatives to suburban sprawl by rethinking the urban habitat as an affordable, mass-produced dwelling that provided direct access, privacy and a garden for every resident.\nIn its built form, Habitat 67 is an iconic cluster of 354 interconnected concrete boxes stepped and stacked in a slightly pyramidal structure rising 12 storeys. The modules are held together by a system of post-tensioned cables, and are variously configured to permit a variety of sizes and layouts. Typically, dwellings range from 1-bedroom (600 ft2) to 4-bedroom (1700 ft2) units, spanning 2 levels. At its inception, the complex housed 158 units - a mere fraction of the 1200 originally planned by Safdie. Serviced by 3 elevator cores, pedestrian streets on the 2nd, 5th, 6th and 10th floors run the length of the complex and provide the main circulation paths from which residents gain direct access to their homes.\nOf the several innovations inaugurated by Habitat 67, the complex's conception as a continuous, 3-dimensional urban structure in which all members are load-carrying, an on-site factory for casting the concrete modular boxes, as well as the use of pre-fabricated components such as fibreglass bathroom units and pre-assembled kitchens, are noteworthy.\nThe success of Habitat 67 spurred a series of international commissions for Moshe Safdie on the same theme: affordable, high-density urban residential communities composed of factory-produced, modular units. These later projects (all unbuilt), for which Safdie continued to explore alternative geometries and innovative technologies, include Habitat New York (New York City, 1967-68); Habitat Puerto Rico (San Juan, 1968-70); Habitat Israel (Jerusalem, 1969-70); Habitat Rochester (New York, 1971); and Habitat Tehran (Elahieh, Iran, 1976-1978)."}

The article “Walking Works Wonders: a tailored workplace intervention evaluated over 24 months” finds that employees who received either a standard or tailored intervention demonstrated significantly higher work ability, organizational commitment, job motivation, job satisfaction, and a reduction in intention to leave their organization.\nDr Twumasi told MICRA: \"We have spent years researching the ageing workforce. Unfortunately, some of the same stereotypical attitudes are still shared by some employers that have become historically entrenched. While legislation has changed, attitudes do not change as quickly. Therefore, the next step in our research is to identify strategies to challenge these stereotypical views. As the workforce ages, employers have a duty to offer equality of opportunity to workers of all ages. \"\nRead the articles here:\n- Walking Works Wonders: a tailored workplace intervention evaluated over 24 months\n- Sedentary behaviour and health at work: an investigation of industrial sector, job role, gender and geographical differences\nReturn to the full list of news stories."}

{"text": "FRINGE 4.19 ‘Letters of Transit’In the year 2036, a new Fringe team battles the Observers for control of the future.by Blair MarnellApr 22nd, 2012Episode Title: \"Letters of Transit\"Writers: Akiva Goldsman & Jeff Pinkner & J. H. WymanDirector: Joe ChappellePreviously on \"Fringe\":Episode 4.18: \"The Consultant\"Story. We meet Etta (Georgina Haig), a self-assured Fringe agent who witnesses a man named Rick (Bradley Stryker) nearly get mindwiped after antagonizing a prominent Observer.To save Rick's life, Etta knocks him down and claims jurisdiction over his crime. When the Observer attempts to read her mind, he is somehow fooled by Etta's thoughts. Outside, Rick and Etta confirm that he was able to get what he needed from the Observer while he marvels at her ability to hide her true thoughts from them. Rick tells Etta that he was able to recover someone who was frozen in amber before he is murdered by an unknown assailant. Etta flees in Rick's van before learning that the man Rick rescued was Dr. Walter Bishop (John Noble); who is still encased in amber in the back of the van.Etta meets up with her partner, Agent Simon Foster (Henry Ian Cusick) as she informs him that Rick was murdered by an Observer loyalist. After Simon mentions that the original Fringe team was lost years ago, Etta reveals that she's found Walter and that the rest of his team may have survived as well. Meanwhile, an Observer visits an aged Phillip Broyles (Lance Reddick) to hassle him about Rick's unsolved murder. The Observer also threatens to take over Broyles' jurisdiction if he can't produce a suspect.Elsewhere, Etta and Simon realize that Walter's amber coating is so advanced that it will almost immediately revert to solid form before they can free Walter from his self-imposed fate. They eventually requisition a weapon that can push Walter out of the amber during the brief seconds that the amber is gaseous once again. Once Walter is out of his prison, the agents introduce themselves to him and ask about a device he built that could get rid of the Observers. But Walter's mind is so damaged from his ordeal that he can barely remember them moments after meeting them.Hoping to find a solution, Etta and Simon take Walter to meet Nina Sharp (Blair Brown), who is now wheelchair bound. Even though Walter has known Nina for decades, he doesn't recall her either. With few options to heal Walter's mind, Nina suggests using the pieces of Walter's brain that were removed at his request years ago. Unfortunately, Walter's brain matter is locked up at the old Massive Dynamic building in a city crawling with Observers who could pick up his stray thoughts. The agents manage to get Walter to a train station, where he briefly freaks out about seeing so many Observers.A human loyalist/guard confronts the trio about Walter's outburst and he doesn't seem to buy their explanation that Walter is Etta's grandfather who they checked out of the home for a day. Regardless, the guard lets them go. Inside the former Massive Dynamic building, the trio. As Etta stares out the back of the train and thinks of her lost partner, Peter Bishop (Joshua Jackson) apologizes for what happened to her friend. Etta asks Peter if he knows her and it takes him a few seconds to realize that he is speaking to his daughter, Henrietta \"Etta\" Bishop before they embrace.Breakdown:The writers and producers of \"Fringe\" deserve a lot of credit for their willingness to completely reinvent the series on a yearly basis, in addition to format breaking episodes like this one. But if this is final season of \"Fringe,\" I have to wonder if this installment will eventually be looked at as a creative misstep.Which is not to say that it wasn't good. There's a lot to enjoy about \"Letters of Transit.\" The revelation that the Observers completely take over the world in four years throws everything we knew about them in question. Most of us believed from the start that the Observers had a hidden agenda, but I don't think that anyone would have predicted this. It's a brave new world for strange bald guys in suits and it was bizarre at times to see the Observers featured in propaganda art across the city and acting so belligerently towards humanity.What we learned just a few weeks ago was that the Observers come from a distant future and that they were very, very different from the bulk of mankind. But apparently once they're in power, the Observers are clearly just like us, if not worse. So, does this mean that September and the rest of the Observers that we've met to date were aware of this future and subtly leading events towards it? Walter hinted that September tried to help humanity; which may explain why he appeared to be fatally wounded several episodes back.Georgina Haig and Henry Ian Cusick were engaging as Etta and Simon, especially when playing off of the first new incarnation of Walter. If this had been the first episode of a \"Fringe\" sequel series or a fifth season premiere, I would have loved seeing more of that new dynamic in future episodes. It was strange that the end of the episode seemed to assume that the audience hadn't already guessed who Etta was long before her reunion with Peter. Etta looked and acted a lot like Olivia and Simon even called Walter her grandfather as part of their cover story; which should have been the biggest indicator of Etta's true identity.The really big surprise of this episode was the return of William Bell, whom I fully expected to never see again on this show due to Leonard Nimoy's retirement. Also, Bell was pretty convincingly killed off twice. But his return means that it is very possible that Bell never died in this timeline. And from what Walter said, Bell may also have been responsible for Olivia's demise or worse.John Noble justifiably gets a lot of praise for his performance on a weekly basis. But he elevated his game once again with the two new versions of Walter: the even more senile and childish Walter upon his awakening and Walter's darker, more serious incarnation after his brain damage was healed. The second Walter was more like Walternate than ever before. That's actually not the first time that we've seen this happen to Walter. His demeanor completely changed when Walter's brain was briefly connected to his lost grey matter by the shapeshifter Thomas Jerome Newton back in season two.It seems like a restored Walter loses a lot of his fun and quirky personality traits that we've grown to love, like his hilarious willingness to be medicated and his inappropriate outbursts at the train station. In his place was a man who was coldly willing to activate an anti-matter bomb and kill several people, in addition to cutting off Bell's hand. Although, even the bad ass Walter still couldn't get Astrid's name right. Some things never change.Notably absent from this episode was any mention of the alternate universe; which opens the door to more speculation about that world's fate. It also seems like Broyles is destined to be under the thumb of villains in either world. I never got the indication that Broyles sided with the Observers because he wanted to. Instead, it seemed like acting under their authority was the only way to keep a bad situation from getting worse. There was also a great moment when Broyles found Walter's licorice and realized what it meant. On a side note, the makeup effects used to depict Broyles and Nina as their older selves was very well done.There are two major problems with this episode: First, it just stopped completely stopped the momentum of the David Robert Jones storyline that's been building all season. An argument can easily be made that the audience could use an occasional break from that story and this was an entertaining episode. But the larger issue is that several brand new plotlines and story possibilities were just opened up that may never be explored again.It's entirely possible that the events of this episode will inform the outcome of the remaining three episodes of the fourth season. But unless \"Fringe\" is renewed, we're not likely to get any kind of closure for the events of \"Letter of Transit.\" And if \"Fringe\" has to end, I'd rather it end cleanly instead of leaving such an interesting story left untold.Don't leave us hanging, Fox!

The hits just kept on coming: Finding Nemo, Freaky Friday, and, of course, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl.\nStudio divisions of competitors like Sony (NYSE: SNE), Fox (NYSE: FOX), and Time Warner (NYSE: TWX) also did very well with their outputs, but Disney's slate was a formidable force to be reckoned with; the Mouse voraciously ate its weight of box office dollars (according to the 2003 annual report, Disney took in $3 billion from theaters around the globe). It was a crucial driver of earnings and, perhaps more importantly, the perception that things were finally going right for CEO Michael Eisner.\nThen came the response to the opening of Home on the Range last weekend. It ranked in fourth place, (and then, as we all know, there's the advertising, which can add many more tens of millions of dollars). The general rule of thumb is that a movie must make double its total cost to break even; obviously, this is a disturbing fact for shareholders. It tends to stimulate a traumatic flashback to the Treasure Planet debacle.\nThe company's film offerings haven't inspired moviegoers to enter the multiplexes in droves as of late. Products like Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen, Miracle, and Jersey Girl haven't produced the stellar returns that spoiled shareholders last year. Of course, these disappointments can ultimately be offset by the booming DVD business that all studios are experiencing at the moment; nevertheless, as any stockholder will tell you, Disney has been on probation for a long period, and it would pay for all cylinders to be firing all the time.\nGranted, no one can predict how well a slate will do, or how tough the competition is going to be at any given time (certainly the recent religious juggernaut, The Passion of the Christ, is proving an unexpected capturer of bucks that might otherwise have made it into Disney's coffers). Still, Chairman George Mitchell and Eisner et al. had better step up to the plate and address any shortcomings in upcoming strategies for their celluloid products to ensure that the rest of the year is much more animated.\nDavid Gardner recommended Time Warner for Motley Fool Stock Advisor subscribers.

Sized up to L, fit is perfect. I will purchase again when I need shorts.\nUnderwhelming\nThis is my first Castelli bib shorts (but not the first Castelli product I own). Personally, based on my first test ride on an indoor trainer, I'm disappointed and underwhelmed given the hype. I own Santini, Ale, PBK and a couple of not-well-known-cheap-brand cycling shorts. But only this Castelli short gave me discomfort (specifically chafing in the family jewels area) on my first test ride. So obviously not a good first impression. Also, I find the material and design don't quite live up to the relatively high suggested retail price this item command. Maybe in terms of performance, it delivers and impresses (time will tell) but as a first impression, I'm not impressed. When comparing Italian brands, Santini's material, craftsmanship and attention to details (material and size of the tags, for instance; the Castelli's are annoyingly large and brittle) are head and shoulder above these -- Santini feels more premium. (Same impression when comparing the jerseys.) And Santini's are actually made in Italy while this is made is Bosnia. Ironically, these Castelli shorts in size S actually fits much smaller than even a Santini XS! Hope long-term performance of these shorts will change my mind but for now, it's \"meh\".\nQuality bib shorts with a very comfy pad!\nI looked at options from Assos, Rapha and other Castelli shorts before buying these Endurance 2 shorts. The other reviews really helped and the Endurance 2 shorts had a Winter discount on them so i ordered my usual size plus one. (Keeping with the Castelli size small routine) Very nice shorts to look at and wear. Very comfortable pad on the bike and they sit really well on the legs. The bibs can feel a little tight around the shoulders which is probably down to the italian sizing but once i had got on the bike and adjusted them a little, i never noticed them again. I'd definitely recommend these shorts. I can't really tell what more expensive options even from Castelli will add to be honest. If they are in your size then just order them and enjoy some comfort on the bike.."}
{"text": "Whilst we have been talking about patrol vessels and other water based subjects various designs and suggestions have been floated (see what I did there) but they were all characterised as being not of these shores.\nWhilst the large naval and complex ship design sector might have its problems the small craft sector is very much alive and well with lots of innovation and export success.\nA few favourites…\nHolyhead Marine make the Royal Marines Offshore Raiding Craft (ORC) and MoD Police boats\nGriffon Hoverwork have a wide range of very successful hovercraft including the new 2400TD’s, also in service with the Royal Marines\nThey have also been a large part of the effort to produce the PACSCAT fast landing craft currently under development.\nMeercat Workboats, although not in service with the armed forces the Meercat RT Workboat is a fantastic bit of design. The RT stands for road transportable; the boat can be split in two for ease of road transport.\nThe CTruck 20 is a workboat designed to support the ever growing offshore wind industry but it has a number of very interesting features. A composite hull is combined with Rolls Royce waterjets/vector stick control systems and a very clever modular pod arrangement with sliding wheelhouse that can be reconfigured to suit a number of different roles.\nSo these aren’t in the same league as the modules on the LCS Let’s not forget that Blighty is still capable of innovation and intelligent design.\nMilitary applications?\nIn your own time chaps…\nVery interesting TD.\nI’ve been looking at coastal craft (mainly fast patrol/attack but…) for a while and one of the bonuses is their relative cheapness and the production base; there are many small to medium sized businesses like those above which produce motor yachts or work boats but could produce the military vessels.\nThe c-truck looks like an ideal MCM daughter craft, perhaps optionally manned? With a cargo capacity of 20 tons it can carry a lot (ISO container if there’s room)or be used to ferry troops, VIP’s, civvies, etc.\nHovercraft are cool! Much more expensive to buy and run than “normal” boats but they have obvious unique capabilities. Brown in Future surface Fleet talked about using hovercraft for rapid MCM route sweep/scan clearance; due to their fast speed and relatively little influence in the water they are very good at this. The air cushion also helps protect it against mines which do go off.\nP.S. All those Welsh firms… Ah, there’s lovely…\nI think I’ve mentioned this before but if I was to walk out the front door with a bow and arrow I could hit (he says) CTruks factory (with a bit of luck and guess work). Innovation taking place just around the corner!\nAgreed with this being an interesting topic to explore TD. Nice one.\nFor a balance of all-round capability speed/range/loading I’ve not seen anything that offers better than the Finnish M12 ‘Jurmo’ LCP’s personally.\nThat said though, as an alternate payload option, this Wave Supplier class you’ve linked from Alnmaritec () looks like it could be seriously handy for larger UUV deployments, diver support and emergency assistance missions.\nVery interesting seeing whats out there and the capability they could offer a properly configured parent vessel at reasonably low costs.\nYES -‘one word mateys “Hovercraft” !\nI think I need to change my underpants………. :-)\nI thought the CWhisper looked like a great MCM candidate. Looks like MHS-1’s big brother.\nWhisper and MCM have been mentioned twice already, I thought the same when I saw the photo.\nAt these dimensions it comes very close to the French design, Swordfish:\nLength over all: 19.5m\nBeam over all: 7.8m\nDraft: 1.48m\nDisplacement: 30 tonnes\nvs.\nThe Espadon (swordfish) is an unmanned surface vessel that is 17 meters long and displaces 25 tonnes\nThe latter’s optimised launch facilities (utilizing the protection afforded by the catamaran hull) come across clearly in these photos\n– this time also the hypothetical mothership design is shown, a happy 100m and 3.000 t marriage of TD’s SIMMS and Whisper’s hull form\nAnyone know of any foreign design small craft that could prove useful to the services but that they think the UK industry aren’t competing with “sovereignly” (Is that even a word? Off for more coffee…) yet?\ni’ve met some of the Alnmaritec chaps in the world of work, i like their boats.\nFascinating group of vessels. That PACSCAT seems a hell of a piece of gear and very desirable for the Royal Marines. I don’t know whether it was going flat out or what its top speed is but it seems about three times as fast as the LCU10, which can achieve over 8 knots Anyone know whether, like the LCU10, it has both bow and stern ramps? That would also dramatically speed up the disembarkation of vehicles, cargo etc.\nACC,\nYes. Interesting mothership. Is it me, or does it seem strange to build an MCM mothership that can only carry two daughter-craft? Seems like you will still need many motherships to perform MCM over any significant area in a reasonable period of time. If not two, then what is the “right” number?\nI wonder if these large USVs could be used for ASW as well? Maybe a small towed array and a couple of torpedo tubes?\nI think SWATH is preferable to a cat here as well. Much better slow-speed seakeeping, and potentially quieter too.\nI forgot Camarc as well\nand Southboats\n@ B.Smitty – I’ve been thinking along similar lines – Could shallow MCM and ASW be combined? Coastal Underwater warfare?\nSlightly off topic, but I see that the RN are going to trail the Scan Eagle UAV onboard a ship deployed to the gulf later in the year\nSwimming Trunks,\nThat’s what I’m wondering. Shallow ASW is better addressed by many smaller sensor (fixed, semi-fixed and mobile) rather than fewer, larger sensors (towed arrays on warships).\nThe LCS ASW module planned to include the ULITE towed array carried by a RHIB. But IMHO, the sensor size and capabilities was driven by the towing platform that would comfortably fit on our warships, not by what is optimal for the task. But that begs the question, what is optimal for the task?\nIMHO, MHS-1 had a lot going for it here. It was significantly larger and had better seakeeping, towing performance and endurance than a RHIB, but still small enough to be air transportable and relatively easy to integrate with motherships. CWhisper and Swordfish are much larger, but have even greater endurance/speed/payload.\nLarger means fewer numbers but greater individual capacity. So what’s the right balance?\nSaw a PASCAT for sale recently, can’t find it now but it was about 650k. I wonder why we don’t just keep these things, its not like we have high quantities for any kit really surely it must be handy."}

{"text": "General Health\nImportant things everyone must know about heat rash and how to prevent it\nHeat rash is a very common skin problem that occurs mostly when the weather is hot and humid. Heat rash is an indication that the skin pores have been blocked and sweat is trapped beneath the skin. Heat rash can be quite uncomfortable and painful. There are different types of heat rash namely: miliaria crystallina, miliaria rubra and miliaria profunda.\nThe first type usually occur in babies and children. This type of heat rash does not itch and is not painful.\nThe second type occurs mostly in adults. This type occurs deeper in the skin and usually creates a level of discomfort and pain.\nThe third type of heat rash is the most severe and least common. It usually occurs in adults.\nGeneral symptoms of heat rash include:\n- white/red bumps filled with fluid on the surface of the skin\n- itchiness and stingy sensation\n- lack of sweat in the affected area\n- soreness and inflammation of the skin\nHot weather, sweating from intense physical activity, wearing tight clothes, and using thick lotions and creams can lead to heat rash. Heat rash does not pose a health risk, however, symptoms can be unpleasant. Heat rash often disappears after few days without treatment. Nevertheless, if symptoms are found unbearable, some of the things that can be done include:\n- taking regular cool baths\n- avoiding tight clothing\n- use of antiseptic powders prepared for prickly heat\n- avoiding scratching\n- avoiding the use of ointments and lotions\nAfter an episode of heat rash, a scar often forms on the skin. With time, the skin may heal and return to its previous state depending on how the rash was managed."}
{"text": "What Faulkner once said about the American South -- \"The past isn't dead. It's not even past\" -- is now true of tech and telecom policy as well.\nThe perennial Great Divide in tech policy is about the merits of applying existing regulatory models to the latest technology. The question of the moment is about whether and how government should regulate Internet broadband. And the debate is now roaming into lessons-from-history thanks to a fascinating new book, The Master Switch, by Professor Tim Wu of Columbia Law School.\nThe book is an economic and political history of communications technologies over the past century or so -- the rise and fall of telegraph, telephone, radio, film, and TV, and the ascendancy of the Internet. Against all odds, it is a ripping yarn -- stolen telegrams that may have tipped the presidential election of 1876, an anti-Semitic priest censoring decades of Hollywood films, and so forth.\nBut it is also a serious history with a strong view about the pernicious effect of monopolies and oligopolies in technology. Wu's organizing thesis is all forms of electronic communication follow a predictable, tragic arc. An existing giant's death knell sounds when a band of raggedy outsiders, with little to lose, discover or popularize a disruptive and radically better technology. They usher in a glorious, chaotic, and discombobulating period of decentralized innovation. But, eventually and inevitably, along comes a charismatic leader or business with an iron will to power that leads to total domination of the market (e.g., Western Union, Ma Bell, Google, Apple).\nThe rise of the despot may be good news for the people of the kingdom -- at first. Mussolini making the trains run on time and all that. But just as Early Elvis became Late Elvis, inevitably the powerful turn tyrannical, becoming enemies of innovation, focused chiefly on strangling the next disruptive technology in the crib.\nIf anyone ever tells you that ideas don't matter in Washington, just point them to the charmed trajectory of Professor Wu.\nWu marshals powerful historical evidence, but the lessons one draws from his book is the policy equivalent of a Rorschach Test. Already the Wall Street Journal has run not one but two reviews concluding that The Master Switch proves the need for Less Regulation. The Huffington Post, in contrast, has a piece concluding that the book proves the need for More.\nWu's own prescription -- described in the last 20 pages, after 300 pages of history told relatively straight -- is the so-called Separations Principle. This is the idea that information companies in the digital age must be required to stay in a single \"horizontal\" line of business. Either you create content (TV, movies, print), or organize content (search engines, social networking), or build devices to access content (phones, tablets), or deliver content (broadband). But please only one, thank you very much.\nThe reason, says Wu, is the same reason we have checks and balances in the Constitution. We can't have Apple (via the iPad, iPhone, and iTunes) or Google (via search) also controlling the content that we can read and watch. And Wu believes that this applies with particular force to the broadband companies like Verizon, AT&T, or Comcast, because Internet access is now the \"last mile\" pipe that carries all modern communications.\nWu's vision has its strengths and weaknesses. A serious appraisal would take a second book nearly as long. But one thing is clear, namely that to Wall Street and many existing businesses it is heresy and treason. This is because nearly all of the nation's large information and technology companies are, in varying degrees, desperate to expand \"vertically\" -- into content, organization, devices, and delivery. Comcast buying NBC. Apple moving into music and video.\nOne way to understand the profound disconnect between Wall Street's vision and Wu's is as another in the many fights between town and gown. Skeptically, as an academic not subject to the discipline of meeting a payroll. Or, sympathetically, as a visionary free to pursue the public interest rather than an incumbent's bottom line.\nWashington is of course the place where academic dreams of massively restructuring private industry often go to die. And Wu's vision doesn't go anywhere if government won't make it mandatory.\nBut counting his ideas dead on arrival would also be to ignore a more recent history. Wu and a group of closely aligned left academics have shown a genius for setting the agenda in Washington over the past decade -- although the jury is still out on how much they will actually get.\nIndeed, if anyone ever tells you that ideas don't matter in Washington, just point them to the charmed trajectory of Professor Wu. He is a young, charismatic, motorcycle-riding legal academic, best known for coining the term \"net neutrality.\" (Though, according to the New York Observer, he may be more famous on campus for making law students swoon.) Net Neutrality is the idea that there ought to be a law preventing broadband companies like Verizon, AT&T, and Comcast from improperly prioritizing certain Internet traffic (e.g., speeding up Hulu and not Youtube). A proto-Separations Principle of sorts.\nDespite blistering opposition from broadband incumbents, the idea went from academic symposia to the Obama campaign platform in less than four years -- surely a record of some kind. (Much of the credit for popularizing the notion actually belongs to Professor Larry Lessig, who has shuttled among the Harvard, Stanford, and University of Chicago law faculties for the past two decades.) And just last week, the Chairman of the FCC announced his intent to implement rules making net neutrality the law of the land. (Full disclosure: I worked, until this summer, as a senior advisor to Chairman Genachowski and was involved in some of the earlier actions that led up to last week's decision.)\nIf this were not enough, the contribution that is actually most distinctively Wu's is the less euphonious concept of \"wireless Carterfone.\" This is the idea that consumers -- not their cell phone company -- should be able to decide matters such as which software they want to download and whether to connect them to networks that can accept them.\nWithin a year of Wu's publishing this paper, the outlines of the idea were adopted by the previous, Republican chairman of the FCC for a swath of spectrum worth roughly $5 billion. And this was over the vociferous objections of the major wireless companies, who until then had been the chairman's leading supporters.\nWu is not alone in his opposition to the crossing of lanes in information industries -- or his desire to have government serve as traffic cop. He.\nThe non-interventionist ball is, for the most part, being carried by lobbyists, think-tankers, political staffers, and other versions of homo Washingtonius. These are powerful forces, with a track record of success. They are especially skilled at arguing why well-intentioned government action will lead to perverse results. (And they often have a point -- government is quite capable, left to its own devices, of doing stupid and destructive things.) But they are certainly not writing books like The Big Switch.\nJohn Maynard Keynes, in the General Theory, put the case for academics in politics most memorably. \"Madmen in authority, who hear voices in the air, are distilling their frenzy from some academic scribbler of a few years back,\" he wrote. \"I am sure that the power of vested interests is vastly exaggerated compared with the gradual encroachment of ideas.\"\nAnd perhaps the strongest evidence in favor of Keynes's theory is Keynes himself. Just ask Richard Nixon or, more recently, conservative Judge Richard Posner (who penned \"How I became a Keynesian\" last year).\nSo what are Wu's chances of actually seeing his ideas turned into policy? The lessons from history are yet another Rorschach test.\nIn the annals of tech and telecom, the professor to beat is Nobel Laureate Ronald Coase. His classic 1959 article, \"The Federal Communications Commission,\" (PDF) lays out the case for treating spectrum licenses as marketable pieces of private property. Half a century later, the FCC regularly conducts multi-billion spectrum auctions which, in essence, do just that.\nBut even Coase's example is mixed. His article is intended, among other things, as an arrow at the heart of the broadcasting industry. His beef is that the government gives broadcasters spectrum, for free, on the condition that it be used for broadcasting and nothing but. A better policy, he says, would be to sell a property right in particular frequencies and let market forces figure out their highest and best use.\nAnd yet the broadcast industry remains standing -- propped up by government spectrum policy. To be sure, Coase's idea of repurposing broadcast spectrum is frequently revived -- most recently by Secretary of Commerce Locke and outgoing Obama economic advisor Larry Summers (another professor!) and in the FCC's recent National Broadband Plan. And during the last decade, the government did reclaim about a quarter of the broadcasters' spectrum. (In a delightful irony, this is the very same spectrum that the Republican Chairman of the FCC auctioned in 2007-08 with the Wu-inspired Carterfone rules attached.) But the antiquated broadcast spectrum model has proved maddeningly durable.\nThe most direct historical analogy to Wu, however, is the lesser known but far more fascinating Professor William Baxter, the stiff-necked Stanford Law School antitrust professor tapped by Ronald Reagan to head the Justice Department's antitrust division.\nAs Steve Coll describes in his masterful history of the breakup, The Deal of the Century, Baxter was an academic first and foremost, dripping with contempt for Washington Realpolitik. He inherited the Carter-era suit against AT&T, which was still in its early phases, and everyone expected that the Reagan Justice Department's first order of business would be to drop it.\nBut Baxter believed that the existence of the Bell monopoly was an affront to sound antitrust theory and so he accelerated the push towards breakup. And. by a strange turn of events, both the Attorney General and the Associate Attorney General were recused from the case. (They, like so many prominent American lawyers at the time, had worked for the Bell companies before entering government). So Baxter was in charge of representing the Justice Department at the White House.\nHe was opposed by every other relevant member of the Cabinet. Presided over by Reagan himself, the group met to decide whether to end the breakup attempt. Baxter laid out his case for maintaining the suit. The Secretary of Defense asserted that breakup would compromise the military's telecommunications system. The Secretary of Commerce, stated that it would be a disaster for international trade. They had prepared a joint report to that effect, signed by more or less every Cabinet agency besides Justice.\nAs Coll describes it, at the close of the meeting, all eyes turned to Reagan:\nI don't completely follow everything that everyone is talking about,\" the President said. \"But I do know one thing....\" And then Reagan launched into the same story he had told on the campaign trail in 1980, the one about how much it used to cost to mail a letter from Hollywood to New York in the 1940s versus how much it cost to call long distance, and about how the cost of postage had gone up while the price of the same long-distance call had fallen drastically. Only this time, Reagan left out the punchline he had used on the stump: \"And of course, the government is suing the phone company.\" Instead, he just tailed off and left the story hanging, without indicating exactly what the point was.\nBaxter took the view that the President hadn't told him to drop the suit. And so on it went.\nIt is tempting to draw from the AT&T breakup some comfort for the chances of professors in Washington. But the real lesson is closer to the reverse. Setting aside the merits of the case and looking only at practicalities, there are about 1,000 plausible ways that it could have not happened, and just one way that it could have. Which is in fact the way that it did. (There were plenty of other twists and turns -- involving Congress, the FCC, and the courts -- just as implausible as Baxter's meeting with Reagan.)\nWhether Wu, Lessig, and their allies will prove Keynes right or wrong when it comes to the Internet is a book still being written. I happen to think that, on balance and in the long run, the odds are more against them than for them. (Keynes would probably hasten to add that in the long run we are all dead.)\nWhat seems certain, however, is that the ultimate answer from Washington will be something that falls in the muddy middle. That is the real specialty of our particular system of government -- and also the enduring lesson of Keynes, Coase, Baxter, and Wu.\nCoase did revolutionize spectrum policy for the cell phone industry, but not for broadcasting. Baxter broke up AT&T, but it has effectively been re-formed (though looking quite different than it would have had there been no breakup). Wu and Lessig have pushed Net Neutrality and Wireless Carterfone successfully on to Washington's agenda, but the ultimate rules they will get are almost certain to be less than they would have sought.\nAnd Keynes? As it happens, the quote typically attributed to Nixon -- \"we are all Keynesians now\" -- was first uttered half-a-decade earlier by the famed conservative economist (and Nobel Laureate) Milton Friedman. (Nixon said something similar, but less quotable, in 1971). The quote first appeared in Time magazine in 1965 -- and here is Friedman's letter of correction:.\nThis seems as clear a description as any of what is likely to happen when academic ideas come to Washington.\nImages: 1. marssipa/flickr; 2-3.

{"text": "It was a glorious sunny winter day in Rocky and the local Capricorn branch of the Ulysses had a day ride to the pub at Many Peaks for lunch and return. It was a 9am meet, but I had been up late working on my blog, so I slept in. I managed to get there just on 9am, but in the process left my Airhawk behind. Within ½ hour I was twitching around on the seat trying to get comfortable. I need to get it fitted properly, next week I think, that way I won’t forget it again.\nSo, first port of call <g> is the Marina in Gladstone, a lazy 100km down the road and we were to stop for smoko, that is ‘tea and bikkies’ for you overseas types. We had about 25 riders turned out and we were to meet many more later. This is a SPOT track map shot of the route taken, #1 is the start\nAnd here are some photos of us at the Marina; in the harbour shots you can see in the background the coal loading terminals. This is a major port for quite a number of exports, including coal and wood chip.\nAfter smoko, the plan was to fill up at the Caliope crossroads servo(20 bikes and two pumps, hmmm) and head to Many Peaks. I had been chatting to Mark and Peter and we decided that riding that road at 80-90kmh was a waste(that was the speed the main group was riding at) and so we decided to fill up at BP Airport so there was less of a wait and go it alone. And so we did, I was ahead for a while and decided to get this photo of oncoming bikes. You overseas chappies can see the cheese cutter barriers we have to contend with, very biker unfriendly.\nI am a bit miffed in the missing tracks today, seems to be a few gaps, don”t know why though.\nIt was a pretty good road out that way, you just have to remember the blind corner with the stop sign at the railway line and then a bit further on, the very sharp left hander with a decreasing radius, that has surprised a few people in its time :)\nEventually arrived at the pub just after midday, there was a contingent of Bundaberg branch riders there already, which made it very busy and a bit of a wait for the tucker.\nThe carpark was chockas!\nHere is my bike, hiding over here by itself, being a short arse, I need to find firmer ground with my modified side stand, it leans over too far :)\nGuess who was at the pub already? Bart, the R1150GS rider. Chatted with him during lunch about the last time we were there and he asked did I want to do the full dirt track home via Kroombit Tops. I agreed of course, it could be my last opportunity, so we nicked off around 1.30pm. He advised we would be getting home on dark, no worries to me. I took a composite map/satellite image for these tracks, they show the ‘no roads’ we followed :)\nOnly a short ways down the corrugation and we stopped for a leak and adjust tyres and suspension\nLots of these around and heaps of fertiliser as well\nA bit of this\nAnd a bit of that\nAnd lots of this\nThis looked exciting\nAnd lots of these, quite often around blind corners uphill with corrugation and loose stuff around\nDirt twisties\nThat was where we were headed\nThe background will give you an idea of why the area is called Many Peaks\nPiss break :)\nBart had camped up here a few weeks back and lost a special torq bit driver, so he decided to look for it, no go, it has been lost.\nWe did not find the tool, but we did find this!!!!!!! Terminal!!!!\nAnother GS with terminal rear seal damage, oil leaking from the diff onto the tyre. We were about 10km from the lookout, but although I offered for us to head back, Bart would not hear of it, so we kept on going until we got up there, lots of steep hairpin turns, loose ground and ruts etc. I took photos on the way back, not on the way up, I was concentrating. We eventually got to the lookout and the views were spectacular as you would expect.\nBart phoned his missus and explained the problem and mentioned he would try to get to Calliope, but she may have to come down with a trailer and pick him up. It was gone 4pm and getting late, so off we went, here are some photos of the road up and down\nThat is where we just were\nTwisties\nWhen it rains it gets very slippery and the 4WDs chew up the road something fierce\nThe sun heading down quite fast now\nNear a homestead\nBart had gone on ahead, cos I wanted to take some photos, the light was getting bad and after a bit more of this type of road\nI caught up and we stopped for a chat. His bike was starting to make grumbling noises, so I went on ahead to find some signal and call his missus to bring the trailer down. Smile Bart, another Beamer Bites The Dust :( Vstrom-3, BMW-0 Check out all the crap on his back wheel!\nThe next 40kms were an experience, I need them lights renojohn :) Cows, horses and skippies, in the dusk on loose gravel with corrugations, not my idea of fun. Just took it very easy until I got to the Caliope turnoff, phoned his missus and she would head on down. Bart caught me up again and reckoned he could get to Calliope and told me he was OK and for me to head home, so I did.\nI made good time heading North, it was full dark at this stage and had been for a while. I was making good time and getting close to Mt Larcom when I was flashed by an oncoming car, I thought my lights were a bit high and gave it no more thought, until the next straight when I got flashed again, this time from the side of the road speed camera, I hope he got a good photo of the front of my bike cos he was on the wrong side of the road to get me, well I hope so anyway. I was not speeding too much anyway :) I put a few bucks of juice in at Marmor as I was below the last flashing bar on the fuel guage stage, put my warm jacket liner in as it was getting quite chilly(it is winter you know) and arrived home at 7.30pm. Just over 400km for the day, over 130km in the dirt but a long day and I was quite tired from all the standing I did.\nStill, a great day, despite the breakdown, but hopefully it is only the seal and bearing and not the diff like Al did last year. His bike had done 91,000km so it looks like the usual problem that occurs with these bikes at that milestone. If I owned one of these I would have the rear seals done at about 85k, just to prevent these problems occuring on the road. I will find out the final outcome later and do an update. Or maybe Bart can make a comment below.\nCheers\nTravelingStrom\ntop of page"}

{"text": "\nCo-manager Vinson Walden eschews big macro-economic calls, focusing instead on finding growing businesses that, for one reason or another, trade at cheap prices. \"We kiss a lot of frogs,\" he says, although they end up buying only a relatively few. The, portfolio of between 30-40 stocks had a tradition of trouncing rivals until the financial crisis, but it was crushed in 2008 down 48 percent. It's bounced back well, even with a brutal 2008, its performance puts it in the top 7 percent of all foreign stock funds over the past five years. These days, Walden sees opportunity in Brazil, where he thinks investors who've sent Brazilian stocks tumbling over the past year this year are overreacting to inflation worries. His picks: Brasil Foods and homebuilder Cyrela Brazil Realty.\nWasatch World Innovators (WAGTX)\n- Assets: $86 million\n- Top holdings: Apple, Mastercard, Visa\nThis fund holds its share of tech giants like Apple, Google and Intel. But ultimately, says Wasatch chairman Sam Stewart, he's just looking for \"companies that are doing things in a new and better way.\" Stewart, a former academic, is no stranger to questioning authority. He founded the Utah-based company in 1975 after listening to famed finance professor Eugene Fama deliver a lecture suggesting investors couldn't beat the market. About a third of the fund's stocks are outside the technology and healthcare sectors. Among them: World Fuel Services, a company that's carved out a business as a middleman between oil companies and large oil consumers such as airlines and InnerWorkings, which handles printing needs of businesses. \"It's not just innovative products, it's innovative business models,\" says Stewart.\nTaxable Bond Funds\nDreyfus International Bond (DIBAX)\n- Manager: Dave Leduc\n- Assets: $1.3 billion\n- Top holdings: Government debt of sweden and Japan\nBets on the debt of U.S. blue chips such as Coca-Cola and IBM as well as savvy currency hedges have helped this fund leapfrog past peers since the financial crisis. Last year comanager Dave Leduc began trimming higher-yield holdings, including Spanish and Italian debt, when their gyrating prices signaled danger. He's now bullish on emerging markets like Mexico and U.S. corporate stocks outside the financial sector. For those who prefer less exposure to the euro and yen, Los Altos, Calif., adviser Don Martin suggests a sister fund, Dreyfus Emerging Markets Debt Local Currency (DDBAX).\nTempleton Global Bond (TPINX)\n- Manager: Michael Hasenstab\n- Assets: $56.7 billion\n- Top holdings: Korea national debt (various coupons)\nThis fund has been trading foreign debt for more than 25 years. It lost almost 9 percent when markets swooned late last summer, but it has beaten its benchmark bond index by, on average, more than five percentage points a year for the past 10 years. Kimberly Adams, chief financial officer of the financial-planning firm ProVise Management Group, says she has put some of her clients' money in the fund because while it's more volatile than most of what she owns, it tends to come out on top. Manager Michael Hasenstab, whom Morningstar named bond manager of the year in 2010, acknowledges the challenges of investing in a global market that's ever in flux: \"There are developed countries that are becoming emerging ones and emerging countries that are becoming developed,\" he says. To help cut the risk, the 38-year-old manager seeks out emerging markets with both strong growth prospects and low levels of debt. Two favorites: Korea and Indonesia.\nMetropolitan West Total Return Bond (MWTRX)\n- Manager: Tad Rivelle\n- Assets: $17.5 billion\n- Top Holdings: U.S. Treasurys, Fannie Mae-backed mortgages\nThis $17 billion go-anywhere bond fund, run by a group of Pimco alumni, has roughly matched returns of the far larger and better-known Pimco Total Return over the past decade. In general, the MetWest fund displays a conservative bent, says Lipper analyst Jeff Tjornehoj. Tad Rivelle, one of the fund's three comanagers, says the MetWest fund \"skinnied down\" on corporate bonds after spotting a credit glut in 2007, then bought them back when these bonds' prices plunged a year later, during the financial crisis. About 40 percent of the fund is mortgage-backed securities, but Rivelle is also bullish on the debt of big U.S. financial companies, including Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan Chase, which he sees as discounted because of the problems assaulting their European counterparts. \"There's a certain amount of overreaction,\" he says.\nAllianceBernstein High Income (AGDAX)\n- Assets: $3.3 billion\n- Top Holdings: AllianceBernstein Fixed-Income Shares, Republic of Venezuela 7.65%\nThis fund aims to find attractive yields, wherever they might be lurking. That means they tend to own debt that is \"the low-rated of the low-rated\" says Lipper analyst Jeff Tjornehoj, but \"they've managed to find undervalued securities at the right time.\" After losing nearly a fourth of its value in 2008, the fund posted 62 percent gain in 2009, rocketing past peers. The fund had made a big bet on emerging market bonds but has cut back after a recent rally. Co-manager Gershon Distenfeld says he sees better value in U.S. high-yield \"junk\" bonds and the debt of U.S. financial firms, which trade at depressed prices. While the market remains wary of these high-yield companies, many have been cutting debt. The fundamentals are in good shape,\" he says.\nLord Abbett Income Fund (LAGVX)\n- Asset: $1.3 billion\n- Top Holding: Freddie Mac debt, Altria Group bond with 9.95% coupon, Time Warner Cable\nThis fund specializes in bonds rated \"BBB,\" debt hovering just above investment grade. That stance has helped boost the fund's yield but poses risks in a down market, says S&P Capital IQ analyst Dylan Cathers. Lord Abbet's managers emphasize there is a big difference between their fund and alternatives that target junk bonds. \"There's something special about that demarcation line,\" says co-manager Robert Lee. One area where managers see value right now: bonds of energy companies such as Canadian Oil Sands. While their profits can reflect swings in energy prices, the energy producers have enough reserves to pay the bonds.\nAlternative.\n- Manager: Steve Romick\n- Assets: $7.5 billion\n- Top Holdings: Aon, CVS Caremark\nThis fund's manager, Steve Romick, holds quarterly conference calls for investors, much like a public-company CEO discussing quarterly profits. Romick often has a lot of explaining to do, since he has the leeway to stuff his fund with whatever he thinks will work. He then sticks with the picks: The fund's turnover is 20 percent, nowhere near the 55 percent average for alternative funds. These days, about two-thirds of the fund is invested in stocks, especially in those of large multinational corporations that Romick says will benefit from emerging markets' growth. \"He doesn't hit a lot of home runs with stocks. He hits a lot of singles and doubles,\" says Ron Roge, a financial planner who invests in FPA Crescent for his clients. Among Romick's recent nonstock bets: loaning money to an office building, buying farmland and picking up pools of subprime residential mortgages.\nHundredfold Select Alternative Fund (SFHYX)\n- Assets: $65 million\n- Top holdings: Pimco High Yield Institutional, SEI Institutional High Yield Bond, Nuveen High Yield Muni Bond\nEarly in his career Ralph Doudera struggled to reconcile investing's underlying goal - making big bucks - with his Evangelical Christian faith. At one point he bought a Porsche, then sold it after a change of heart and gave the proceeds away. Today, he makes his living managing money for individual clients but donates Hundredfold Select's management fee to a non-profit he set up. While the fund is designed to be, in Doudera's words, \"a slow and steady plodder\" it does so using a complex investment strategy involves using a mix of mutual funds, ETFs and derivatives. Doudera's take on bond yields, along with avoiding some stocks, helped the fund adroitly maneuver the 2008 credit crisis.\nJames Balanced: Golden Rainbow (GLRBX)\n- Assets: $1.3 billion\n- Top Holdings, US Treasury notes\nWhile this fund is designed to own a broad mix of stocks and bonds, it owes its recent success to it conservative bent. S&P Capital IQ mutual fund analyst Todd Rosenbluth calls Golden Rainbow's 2008 decline of just 5 percent \"outstanding\" for a fund of its type, although he notes it did lag the following year when markets took off. Today, the fund is staying conservative thanks to the nation's 8.5 percent unemployment rate and trouble in Europe. Co-manager Brian Shepardson thinks Treasurys still have room to appreciate, though not to the same extent that they did in 2011. At the same time, Shepherdsonsays the fund has been cutting its stock exposure and focusing on domestic-oriented companies like retailer DollarTree and utility Portland General Electric firms he says are unlikely to be hurt by trouble in Europe."}
{"text": "A breath of fresh air\nPosted November 17, 2006\nNews that International Paper has cancelled the test burn of tire-derived fuel is welcome, but Vermonters shouldn’t jump for joy just yet. The company began its intended two-week test burn of tire-derived fuel on Nov. 7, as Vermonters headed to the polls.\nWithin days, state and company officials found higher-than expected particulates emitting from the plant, nearing their permit levels. At the time, the plant was burning about one ton of tire-derived fuel per hour, one-third less than it had hoped.\nIt began the test burn by burning a half ton per hour.\n“International Paper has some hard decisions to make,” said Jeff Wennberg, Vermont’s environmental commissioner. .”\nTherein lies the big question: Will International Paper put the money into the plant now that the test burn has failed, or will it look elsewhere to make investments?\nAll along, the company said this was more of an economic issue than one that was going to be based on environmental results. It expected to save about $4 million annually on fuel costs as a result of using tire-derived fuel.\nState officials, citizens, and environmental groups should keep the lines of communication, such as they are, open with International Paper to see if they would now be receptive to offers of helping them put the necessary pollution controls in place to keep the plant operating.\nBeyond that, the question remains: What do we do with all the tires we leave behind?\nApproximately 290 million used tires are generated annually in the United States, according to the Lake Champlain Committee.\nThere are five principal markets for the 230 million used tires that now reenter the market. Of those, civil engineering projects account for about 24 percent. These tires are shredded and can be used as road fill in construction projects, as cover in landfills, as backfill for bridge abutments, and in various other locations. An additional 12 percent of reused tires are ground fine and used in asphalt, ground cover, or molded rubber products. Three percent of tires are cut, punched, or stamped into new products such as bumpers at marinas or to weigh down feed covers on farms. About four percent of tires are exported to foreign markets. However, the majority of tires reentering the market — 56 percent — are used for fuel.\nWhile converting used tires to fuel is more wasteful than reusing them in construction projects, it is definitely better than tossing them into a landfill. Tires can safely be used as one component in a facility’s fuel mixture, at reduced cost compared to oil, but it means different pollutants must be caught by new technology.\nThe time is now to make such an investment, and Vermont and New York environmental officials should soon be putting their heads together along with International Paper to make sure it happens.\nPublic decency\nWhen is a partially-revealed woman’s breast considered indecent? When it’s selling lingerie on television? Nope. When it’s pushing a brand of beer? Guess again. When it’s trying to lure primetime viewers? Sorry.\nIt’s when you’re breastfeeding your baby on Delta Air Lines or Freedom Airlines, according to a recent complaint filed with the state’s Human Rights Commission by a New Mexico woman.\nEmily Gillette said she was kicked off an airplane about to leave Burlington International Airport because she was breastfeeding her baby, and when asked by a stewardess to cover herself with a blanket she refused.\nVermont law does allow a mother to breastfeed in public. And, while the airline does allow for “discreet” breastfeeding, a spokesman said Gillette was not breastfeeding discreetly enough.\nIt’s a sad commentary that breastfeeding still gets lumped in with public nudity when it comes to acceptance. In fact, it might even have less acceptance given some of the late night cable TV shows.\nIf anything, the commission should take up this case and send a clear message that breastfeeding your child in public is not something to be ashamed of."}

{"text": "In 1884, at age seventeen, Conrad Frederick Sauer began work for a retail and wholesale drug business in Richmond, Virginia. As a drug clerk, he dealt directly with customers who usually brought in their own bottles to be refilled with drugstore products. He soon noticed that flavoring extracts formed a large percentage of this business, because the housewives making the purchases were more assured of purity and strength from the drugstore products.\nMr. Sauer, a pharmacist by profession but a businessman by preference, had an idea. five and ten-gram cartoned bottles, to be sold for fifteen and twenty-five cents, respectively. The company grew rapidly, as Mr. Sauer made products that had once cost a king’s ransom available to homemakers for a few pennies.\nContributing to the growth of the company was Mr. Sauer’s wife, Olga. She assisted in the plant, often coming in at night to help make the extracts and tasting them while they were stirred and mixed to her satisfaction. But perhaps her greatest gift to the company was her preparation of a “little exhibit” for the 1889 Virginia State Fair. This exhibit won first place in its class, and became the basis for international exhibits that would soon win world recognition for Sauer’s quality.\nThe business grew rapidly, necessitating several relocations. Twenty-four years after its founding, The C. F. Sauer Company moved to 2000 West Broad Street where its headquarters remain to this day. At the time of this move, the company had grown to more than 250 employees, with 48 salesmen covering many states.\nAlthough The C. F. Sauer Company was his major interest, Mr. Sauer did pursue related businesses. An early venture was the American Glass Works, where the bottles needed for packaging his extracts were made by hand. The factory burned in 1923, at which point Mr. Sauer decided not to rebuild, but to sell his other glass plant in Paden City, West Virginia, and get out of the business. The company has purchased machine-made bottles ever since.\nThroughout his life, Mr. Sauer demonstrated strong devotion to his nation and community. One example of his patriotism was a letter dated April 5, 1917, in which he offered President Woodrow Wilson the use of Sauer’s pharmaceuticals for the war effort. His offer was accepted.\nIn the community, Mr. Sauer was much appreciated for his creation of the Monumental Floral Gardens near Libbie Avenue and Broad Street, and the Japanese Gardens at Monument and Sauer Avenues. The Monumental Floral Gardens featured sunken Italian gardens decorated with imported statues and shrubbery, while the Japanese Gardens included plants, shrubs, and statues from the Orient. Mr. Sauer’s many trips abroad allowed him to collect many sculptures, which he enjoyed sharing with the city.\nBy 1927, The C. F. Sauer Company became the largest producer of extracts and spices in the nation. In his own words, Mr. Sauer described the idea that was the beginning of a business dynasty: “In regard to putting our goods on the market, I felt that by putting out higher quality goods than those being sold and putting them out in a cartoned bottle, which had not been done up to that time in the small packages, that they would find a more ready sale, which proved to be the case.”\nSon of the founder, Conrad Frederick Sauer, Jr., was elected president and treasurer of the company in 1927 following the death of his father.\nUnder Mr. Sauer, Jr., the company began to use a new strategy based on market trends, expansions and advertising. The emphasis was on sales, whether the product was already being produced or might be a future profit maker. During Mr. Sauer, Jr.’s first year, the Interstate Commerce Company was purchased. As a result, the Sauer Company expanded, making a line of household drugs and remedies.\nLater, in 1929, the Sauer Company purchased Duke’s Products Company of Greenville, South Carolina. This company was started by Mrs. Eugenia Duke in 1917, when she began selling homemade sandwiches to soldiers training at nearby Fort Sevier.\nThe sandwiches sold well, primarily because of Mrs. Duke’s own recipe for mayonnaise, with which they were spread. Drugstores sold the sandwiches and, later, a local grocer agreed to take a few bottles of the mayonnaise on consignment. From making and selling several dozen sandwiches a day, Mrs. Duke’s work increased until she had to start making the mayonnaise in a separate outbuilding. On the day she sold eleven thousand handmade sandwiches, a delivery truck was purchased.\nAfter the war, soldiers who could not forget the wonderful flavor her mayonnaise had lent their sandwiches, wrote or called for recipes. Mrs. Duke gave up sandwich making to concentrate on the creamy sauce that has become a Southern tradition.\nToday, the Duke’s family of products includes mayonnaise, sandwich relish, salad dressing, and tartar sauce, and has remained a best-selling mainstay of The C. F. Sauer Company. The taste of Mrs. Duke’s original recipe for mayonnaise has never been altered, and it remains the only major mayonnaise brand made without sugar.\nC. F. Sauer Jr. had to deal with the extremes of changing world and national markets. The Depression and World War II created declines in markets and business, as well as decreases in the availability of raw materials. His philosophy evolved to meet the changes, becoming one of selling at a close margin of profit while increasing the tonnage of products sold. The company made the necessary adjustments without cutting employee salaries and without layoffs, even though at times products had to be dropped or their production decreased due to shortage of needed materials.\nMrs. Helen Sauer Will, sister of C. F. Sauer, Jr., became more active in the company during World War II, and by the late 1940s took over the responsibilities of office manager. Mrs. Will served as company treasurer and as a member of the board of directors of The C. F. Sauer Company until her death in 1994.\nHer assistance left Mr. Sauer, Jr. free to pursue one of his chief interests – advertising.\nOne of the major campaigns he undertook was sole sponsorship of “The Joan Brooks Show”, which premiered on a local Richmond radio station in 1948. The production was subsequently fed to CBS and aired throughout the Southeast and South Central states. It became one of the most recognized shows of its time, showcasing The C. F. Sauer Company as one of the most forward-looking, innovative companies of the day.\nIn 1949, the production was renamed the “Sauer Show” and eventually was carried on seventy-seven stations in thirteen Southern states, airing four nights a week until 1951. Following each broadcast and unknown to the radio audience, a game show and drawing were played among the studio audience. Prizes included large items such as refrigerators, fine quality furniture, silver goblets and fine jewelry.\nMr. Sauer, Jr. and his wife, Margret, frequently attended the shows to observe audience reaction. Several female employees from the company acted as hostesses while many other employees served as ushers or performed other functions during the production.\nBy 1951, Mr. Sauer became aware that the show was losing its popularity. He ended the production, but retained two of the show’s regulars as employees of The C. F. Sauer Company. Mr. Wilson Angel, whose professional baritone had delighted audiences, worked in the sales department before becoming advertising and sales promotion manager for the company. Hollace Shaw, a vocalist on the radio show, went to work developing recipes in which spices were substituted for salt. She then invited physicians to luncheons featuring these recipes to demonstrate low-salt cooking for patients on restricted diets.\nMr. And Mrs. C. F. Sauer, Jr. had three sons: Conrad Frederick Sauer III (known as Connie), Tremaine E. A. Sauer and David Sauer.\nConnie began working in the plant part time and later full time, eventually becoming executive vice president. Following his father’s death, he was named president on January 30, 1953. Tremaine, who had served the company in many capacities including assistant treasurer, was promoted to executive vice president. The two brothers managed the company as a team, concentrating on sales and promotion, while maintaining the tradition of producing only the finest quality products.\nIn 1955, they completed a major addition to the modern Duke’s Mayonnaise manufacturing plant in Greenville, South Carolina. Later, in 1956, the company acquired a refinery in Charlotte, North Carolina to produce vegetable oils for the Duke’s family of products.\nOther additions to the Sauer’s product line were made from 1957 to 1958. They included packaged Duke’s liquid dressings, Duke’s vegetable oils, Sauer’s Connoisseur spices and Gold Medal brand ground black pepper and salad products. In the early sixties, Dukes Corn Oil and bulk Gold Medal Mustard were added. Later a new and exclusive formula for pure mustard was developed and is now sold under the Sauer’s label.\nIn December of 1964, the company purchased Dean Foods – a margarine manufacturer that produces several private label retail products as well as bulk packaged margarine and liquid butter substitutes for the institutional and foodservice markets.\nIn 1967, Alford’s Barbecue Sauce was added to the line. After purchasing the company, the product name was changed to Sauer’s Barbecue Sauce and production was moved to the Greenville, South Carolina plant. The modern equipment at this plant allowed increased production to meet the demand for the sauce, which is produced from an old Southern recipe.\nMore recently, the demand for convenience products caused the Sauer Company to enlarge the Richmond plant and storage facilities to include the special machinery needed to produce dry mixes for the Sauer line of gravy, sauce and seasoning mixes.\nIn addition to concentrating on producing fine quality foods, the Sauers have always been interested in packaging. That interest was piqued in 1976, when C. F. Sauer III read in the Wall Street Journal of a small plastics company for sale in the Southeast. In a short time, Metrolina Plastics, Inc. of Shelby, North Carolina became a subsidiary of Sauer’s. Metrolina, primarily a custom molder, now manufactures the complete Sauer’s line of spice cans, bottles and tops. Plastic is considered to provide the best protection for this type of product. Sauer’s was the first company to use plastic containers for spices, and still holds the patent. In January of 1982, Metrolina opened its second plant adjacent to the Richmond production facility, increasing both convenience and economy.\nC. F. Sauer Foodservice was organized as a separate entity in 1984 to make recipes and flavoring for commercial users. This division deals in bulk quantities of C. F. Sauer spices, spice mixes, oils, mustard, mayonnaise, margarine and liquid butter substitutes. Foodservice also provides custom spice blends under contract to several national food manufacturers and retail food chains.\nIn 1990, a major expansion of the Greenville manufacturing facility was completed, greatly increasing production capabilities. And a new distribution center was added to the Richmond manufacturing location in 1991.\nThe passing of leadership to the fourth generation of Sauers began when C. F. Sauer IV was elected president of the company in 1993. Mark A. Sauer is now Executive Vice President of Sales, and Bradford B. Sauer is Vice President of Sauer Properties. R. Tyler Sauer is plant manager at the Richmond spice and extract facility.\nThe recent years have been filled with noteworthy expansions of existing facilities and markets. In addition, the C. F. Sauer product line has been increased in breadth as well as depth through the acquisition of several related food product companies.\nIn 1996, the company entered the international trade arena when it purchased BAMA food products from Welch’s. BAMA brands of mayonnaise, light mayonnaise, whipped salad dressing, and sandwich spread are now manufactured in C. F. Sauer production facilities. BAMA is the leading mayonnaise brand in Alabama and Mississippi, and is sold in 20 countries around the world.\nThe first of two very significant acquisitions in 1999 was the August purchase of The Spice Hunter of San Luis Obispo, California. This niche marketer of exotic spices, spice blends and all-natural foods has over 300 products with a twenty-year track record of growth and innovation.\nWithin weeks of announcing this purchase, the company also acquired Mrs. Filbert’s Mayonnaise—a competing product for Duke’s Mayonnaise in some markets, and an introduction for The C. F. Sauer Company into new geographic territories.\nAn expansion of the Dean Foods plant in Sandston, Virginia has more than doubled the size of the margarine and liquid butter substitute manufacturing facility. Increased production was needed to meet the growing demand generated by C. F. Sauer Foodservice orders.\nA recent renovation of the Greenville complex has increased both production and storage capabilities for high volume products, while introducing a new “small batch” line for efficient handling of less active products.\nTo meet the needs of customers in western U. S. markets, the company built a 250,000 sq. ft. mayonnaise and margarine production facility in New Century, Kansas. Operating as C. F. Sauer Foods West LLC, the new plant provides distribution across the U.S.\nAs the company has continued to grow through expansion and acquisition, the complexity of the inventory and data management system has increased exponentially. Following an extensive review of the company’s core business systems, it was decided that new state-of-the-art computer systems and software were needed to keep pace with management’s information needs. In the fall of 1999, the first elements of these new systems and procedures were implemented, providing an EDI order entry capability for all companies. Greatly improved information management benefits sales representatives and customers, alike, through accurate and up-to-date customer-based pricing, flexible reporting and analysis capabilities.\nIn a parallel effort, The C. F. Sauer Company website has been refurbished and expanded. Designed to serve as a public relations tool as well as a customer information portal, on-line information is now provided about all C. F. Sauer companies. A complete listing of products and packaging is available, along with a searchable database of recipes featuring favorite Sauer’s spices, extracts and mixes. An e-commerce initiative now allows consumers in areas without distribution to order products directly from the company."}

{"text": "Abstract\nPURPOSE: To examine the prevalence and incidence of second eye nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION) and associated patient characteristics in patients enrolled in the Ischemic Optic Neuropathy Decompression Trial (IONDT) Follow-up Study. DESIGN: Randomized clinical trial with observational cohort. METHODS: Patients randomized to optic nerve sheath decompression surgery or careful follow-up had a diagnosis of acute unilateral NAION, visual acuity between 20/64 and light perception, and were aged 50 years or older. Eligible patients who declined randomization or whose visual acuity was better than 20/64 were not randomized but followed as part of an observational cohort. Follow-up examinations took place at 3, 6, 12, 18, and 24 months and annually thereafter. RESULTS: Four hundred eighteen patients were enrolled; 258 randomized and 160 observed. Previous NAION or other optic neuropathy was present in the fellow eye of 21.1% (88/418) of patients at baseline. Four patients developed optic neuropathy in the fellow eye at follow up that could not be conclusively diagnosed as NAION. New NAION in the fellow eye occurred in 14.7% (48/326) of patients at risk during a median follow up of 5.1 years. Randomized patients experienced a higher incidence (35/201; 17.4%) than nonrandomized patients (13/125; 10.4%). A history of diabetes. CONCLUSIONS: Follow-up data from the IONDT cohort provide evidence that the incidence of fellow eye NAION is lower than expected: new NAION was diagnosed in 14.7% of IONDT patients over approximately 5 years. Increased incidence is associated with poor baseline visual acuity in the study eye and diabetes, but not age, sex, smoking history, or aspirin use.\nASJC Scopus subject areas\n- Ophthalmology"}
{"text": "Good morning! Happy weekend! I’m in such a good mood a I has the last two days off, so my mind was in the ‘go back to work tomorrow’ zone but I’ve got a whole other weekend to do still, wahoo!\nWent for a spot of shopping yesterday with Mum, I didn’t set out for anything apart from a bin for my bedroom since at the moment my dressing table is awash with used cotton wool, remover wipes and cotton buds – not cool. Anyway I may have come back with a bit more than that, Ikea ensnared me, as did a few other shops with their seasonal displays, I’m a visual merchandiser’s dream!\nValentines day is less than a week away now, I’m not the biggest fan of this occasion as I do feel it’s a bit forced, a bit commercial – however, I am a complete hypocrite as I would still be very happy to receive a valentine, and I love (some of) the things you can get this time of year – pink, hearts, need I say more?!\nOver the past couple of days there have been a few Valentines themed bits I simply couldn’t resist, so I thought I would share…\nI have wanted a waffle maker for EVER but never found a cheap one, or could justify spending more because waffles are hardly a necessary are they! BUT, In Lidl this week, they have waffle makers for £12.99 – AND the waffles come out heart shaped!!! I’m aware of how girly/pathetic/whatever I sound right now, but this was a complete find! Next time I take a break from my health kick I’ll give waffles a crack and let you know how it goes.\nSilvercrest Waffle maker, Aluminium non-stick plates, makes 4 waffles, sticks included (who eats waffle son a stick?!) 3 year warranty included:\nI got lots of random boring house stuff in Ikea – the highlight possible being the feather duster (no, this isn’t for valentines day!), they didn’t really have much valentines stuff but they did have this mug which admittedly I bought the last time I went to Ikea, I’m pretty sure it cos no more than £1 and it’s mega cute.\nIn Waitrose they have some lovely, and always tasteful valentines gifts. One thing that I must recommend if you want your loved one to love you more, is Charbonnel et Walker truffles, yes they’re expensive but they’re oh-so worth it! Waitrose were trying to lure me into buying (myself) some by putting them there in front of me just as I walked through the door, no Ria, NO! I’ve tried the milk, caramel, Champagne, and pink Champagne in the past and I can recommend them all, buy those for your valentine and they will be a happy bunny!\nI however avoided the sugary treats and found myself this cute little matching mug and snack bowl:\nI can’t resist a mug, they’re certainly a weakness for me, I fell in love with the subtle distressed look of these, perhaps a bit pricey for £5 each, but they’ll get used a lot so that is my justification!\nAnyway, have a fab valentines day, and if it’s not your thing… pretend like it doesn’t even exist or go buy one of those valentines meal deals and eat the whole thing yourself, why not, you deserve it!\nCiao!\nRia\nx"}
{"text": "PTR Changelog 2019-02-01: Power Creeps\nI did already process 16,8m power last month by what i could haul in myself and still the power spawn is not the bottleneck for me. Sure i could buy more power on the market and im certain im not at the limit for what power can be farmed, although i do consider it to be a high amount of power processed already.\nI just find it unlikely that the power of increasing the speed of the power spawn will get much use, as its hard to come by power in such a quantity that you cannot already process it at the current rate. Just my 2 cents.\n@geir1983 I was answering not to you personally, but to a \"player with less gcl will have similarly less access to highway rooms and thus have access to fewer powerbanks\" that you described. If such a player has chosen the power path and got many high level Power Creeps that are capable to provide huge income, he may be able to buy a lot of power from the market, and we don't want the processing rate to be a bottleneck in this case.\n@artch Glad you liked the aging idea, I like the initial design. I do think it will give power creeps a more nuanced gameplay. It also makes the operate observer much more interesting, as you are now trying to sustain your PCs.\nFor your consideration: Perhaps power spawn can regen 1500 TTL and power banks can regen more (3000 TTL?). We'll have to see with how it goes in gameplay but a longer time frame would give players a bit more freedom for creative non-economic designs (summon teleport highways etc) without the creeps spending large chunks of their life looking for another hit of that sweet sweet power.\nTL;DR: Balance to make non pure eco power creep play (eg not in room with PS) a little easier.\nSecondly, I agree with the operate power comments. I would probably avoid giving bonuses to power processing (eg. it costs less energy) because that seems very snowbally.\nIf you want to make something along those lines, I'd make a way to gain access to power that isn't reliant on wide empires. Make something so that Tall empires can get more power.\n- Power bank regen/creation/kill/increase ttl\n- Generate power at the cost of ops\n- Power spawn efficiency: Get 1.1-1.5 power per power processed. Make it very expensive compared to finding banks, but if you don't have access to much you can do that instead.\nFYI I am not a huge fan of the leveling gaps either. It isn't a feel-good mechanic taking skills you have no interest in, at least for these op-limited skills. Can I suggest adding a \"Stats\" skill (tree?) for the PCs? Something that levels up their health/carry/maybe max TTL. This would open up some new elements, like maybe using PC's as superman workhorse creeps. Basically It could also be a tiered unlock:\n- Level 1 gives increased HP\n- Level 2 gives increased carry\n- Level 3 gives increased TTL\n- Level 4 adds health regen over time\n- Level 5 some cool bonus\nEdit: If TALL is the goal here, each and every room selection is critical for a tall empire. Potential option would be power creep ability to claim a room at the cost of its life + ops. Obviously large implications with that, but worth considering if you want to incentivize/enable few rooms. Usually expansion is a crawl with growing rooms then moving on to next spot, which isn't doable if you don't have spare GCL. Power creep ability on controller to maintain a room ownership beyond GCL is another option.\n- StormWing0 last edited by\nhmm could make the powers of the power creeps body parts to be attached to the power creep. It might make things a tad more interesting and the creep could change designs based on the parts and level.\n@davaned said in PTR Changelog 2019-02-01: Power Creeps:\nIt isn't a feel-good mechanic taking skills you have no interest in\nThis mechanic is the core idea behind the entire Power Creeps design. We don't want to allow building highly efficient specialized creeps with only a few powers. We want to force players to wrap their heads around limitations, consider trade offs and make choices how to use what they have most efficiently, rather than min-maxing a single best build of an Operator for each task.\nBy the way, hits and carry are increased each level by default.\n@artch Yes, I looked into the leveling up before posting. I saw that it goes up by 100 with each level. Thought process was that you can make the actual creep a more interesting unit. It doesn't subvert the min/maxed idea, just gives more non-op options. Also, the idea of immortal creeps could have cool empire implications. Collecting resources from farther away, etc. Hence upgrading the body of those creeps could have cool use cases.\nThe main issue is that I think people will be op-limited for these type power creeps. So it will be more along the lines of \"This doesn't get used\" rather than \"this is inefficient and interesting combinations\". In the non-op limited creeps it will be a much more interesting \"what other weaker powers do I want\", but in this case it's a pretty simple math. You need multiple op creeps to sustain a maxed power creeps. You would never want to use a non-maxed ability. Therefore, you will have ops slaves with useless abilities feeding a few maxed creeps who make good use of ops.\nI don't think all players will go for ops efficiency. Don't forget ops are tradeable, and some market will be established very soon, so that you can buy ops and use non-maxed powers too.\nBut if you want to dedicate some Operators for generating ops only, you may consider making multiple Level 1 Operators rather than growing them to higher levels.\nAlso, superman workhorses are supposed to be Executors, not Operators, and they most likely won't use ops at all.\ndon't think all players will go for ops efficiency.\nI mean, that would be weird right? It'd have to be a game played by all engineers or something\nGiven that spawning an PC costs a level as I understand it, I think the clear winner is level 3 operator (2 ops / 4 levels) vs a level 1 operator (1 op / 2 levels). I definitely think you'll have to dedicate creeps to creating ops. Or you'll have to consider power creeps much more along the lines of boosts, where it's a \"on rare occasions\" type thing. Unless there was another way to get ops, like converting power banks into ops or something. Gotta be an ecosystem for it.\nEDIT: Clarification: Are there any ops powers that can stack effects? Or is everything a single instance that gets refreshed.\n.\nIt's very unlikely you will be able to operate all desired structures in every room with 5 level powers.\nClarification: Are there any ops powers that can stack effects? Or is everything a single instance that gets refreshed.\nPower effects don't stack. If effect of the same or higher level is already applied to the object,\nPowerCreep.usePowerreturns an error. If the effect level is lower, it replaces it with the new one.\n- Pundemonium SUN last edited by Pundemonium\n@davaned Power efficiency is a tricky thing; I can't make use of all powers all the time even with an infinite amount of ops.\nSpecifically:\n- Operate_Tower requires a target (or need for inefficient repair)\n- Operate_Spawn requires filling infrastructure (and a demand for more creeps).\n- Fortify is only of use in a siege\n- Disrupt_(X) ditto\n- Shield is more generically useful but I cannot see it being used whenever it is off cooldown.\n- Others, depending on economic situation and code maturity\nI feel that 'sometimes' powers like these are great powers to level to keep a creep 'ops neutral'. Even a creep that only generates ops most of the time can gain value from being level 25 thanks to powers like the above.\nSelling ops would be a good way for newer players to get credits too, as apposed to simply selling that power. So I don't expect ops to be terribly expensive. (If an op is worth more than the minerals it can generate i'll damn well sell them)\nFinally while I can appreciate that YMMV (not everyone likes spreadsheets) I like the added challenge of balancing ops use & generation with the powers I want to use.\nUpdate: started work on the UI.\nAdded \"Power enabled\" display mode to the world map.\nPowers, effects, and their cooldowns are now displayed with the corresponding icons in the object panel:\nOur frontend team is currently working on the Power Creeps creating and editing UI.\n-."}

{"text": "Officer Jessie Kidder, of New Richmond, Ohio, deserves a medal of some sort. A double murder suspect led police on a chase, with an intent to commit suicide by cop. When he was stopped by Ofc. Kidder, he approached the officer aggressively, asking the officer to shoot him, and threatening the officer. There is no doubt that in light of the circumstances Kidder would have been justified in using deadly force to defend himself. But he demonstrated extreme restraint, and it turned out that no force was necessary, as the suspect surrendered when backup arrived.\nThe entire incident is documented on a body cam video. Amazingly, the camera was not provided by the department, but by Kidder himself (it was a gift from family). Had he needed to use deadly force, the video would have proven him justified. Fortunately, he was able to resolve the incident without killing the man. The video is on the WLWT website, and it is dramatic.\nEDIT- New Richmond is in Ohio, not KY.

{"text": "Steelers Sign Big Free Agents\nIn a little less than two hours, the NFL free agency period officially begins. If you believe the rumors, sometime shortly thereafter the Pittsburgh Steelers will lose at least two and more likely three starters. Mike Wallace and Rashard Mendenhall are certainly gone. Wallace is reportedly taking his talent to South Beach for somewhere north of $10 million per season. By “talent,” I of course mean his one and only talent of running really fast in a straight line. Mendenhall won’t be overpaid nearly as much although word is he’s being viewed as the best running back available this off-season. Several teams have been tied to him with the Denver Broncos being the early favorites to enjoy his butterfingers and hip-hop stylings behind the line of scrimmage.\nThe third departure will certainly hurt more than the first two. The Steelers would like to bring CB Keenan Lewis back but in a thin market and with good young secondary talent at a premium, it’s likely they won’t be able to offer him what some other team does. The Steelers have other options at corner as I’ve already written although Lewis is the kind of guy good teams keep around. While I personally think Cortez Allen is too good not to start, it hurts to spend years drafting and developing a guy like Lewis only for him to go elsewhere while we’re stuck bringing back a mediocre retread like William Gay.\nThe Steelers have deviated from the Steeler Way and are paying for it now and likely in the immediate future. They used to have no qualms about jettisoning expensive veterans in favor of reloading with younger guys. For whatever reason, they held the current team together long past it’s expiration date and those big money veteran contracts have left the team in salary cap hell. While those with tons of money to spend are almost always teams that suck (Miami, Cleveland) or successful teams winning with a lot of guys in their first few years in the league who are still on their relatively cheap rookie contracts (Seattle, San Fransisco), it can’t be argued that the Steelers paid too much money to too many guys who were either past their prime or too injury prone to reach it.\nWith James Harrison‘s recent release and the earlier contract reworkings, the Steelers managed to get themselves around $10 million or so under the cap. They offered minimum tenders to four restricted free agents (meaning any team that signs them has to surrender a pick equal to the round they were picked in if the Steelers opt not to match) and re-signed G Ramon Foster to a three year/$6 million deal and ILB Larry Foote to a two year/$5 million deal which knocks that number down to around $2.5 million or so.\nManny Sanders, Steve McClendon, Isaac Redman, and Jonathan Dwyer all received $1.3 million tenders. Dwyer signed his right away which is unusual since players usually wait to see if a better offer is forthcoming. Dwyer clearly wanted to show the Steelers he was serious about wearing the Black and Gold and serious about being the team’s featured back next year. Sanders is probably safe under the minimum tender since he was a third round pick and it’s unlikely a team would want to surrender a premium pick for him. McClendon and Redzone aren’t sure things since they were undrafted and thus teams can sign them without losing a pick. If McClendon goes elsewhere, the Steelers nose tackle options will be limited to squeezing another year out of broken down Casey Hampton or rolling the dice with homicidal maniac Alameda Ta’amu.\nThe Steelers did manage to reel in one big free agent to off-set the loss of Wallace. “Big” as in literally large, not a big name unless you’ve just stepped out of Delorean that came from 2003. Plaxico Burress re-signed with the team that originally drafted him way back in 2000. He’s being brought back to give Ben Roethlisberger the tall wide receiver he’s wanted for several years now. Plax is old (35) and slow but he’s still 6’5 so he could be a decent red zone threat. Best of all, he’s dirt cheap.\nCheap is where the Steelers are right now. Yeah, winning the off-season is usually zero indication of actually winning when the 2013 season kicks off six months from now. However, the Steelers are an aging group with plenty of holes to fill. It would be nice to have a little money to spend instead of the traditional dumpster diving. Unfortunately, dumpster diving it is.\nSorry, the comment form is closed at this time."}

{"text": ", where lawmakers continue to wrangle over fine policy details and already seem overwhelmed with a heavy legislative workload this fall.\nFor now, though, it’s all good news. In a city increasingly wracked by partisan divides, Democrats and Republicans managed to band together on a bill, called the SELF-DRIVE Act, that aims to allow automakers and tech giants to eventually test as many as 100,000 experimental autonomous vehicles annually.\nUnder the proposal, those companies could obtain exemptions from the federal safety standards that govern all motor vehicles, and they would not have to seek review of their technology before it hits the market. Otherwise, the bill spares automakers from state regulations targeting the way they construct and design their driverless cars.\n“We have an opportunity today to support and promote the safe testing and deployment of this life saving technology,” said Ohio Rep. Bob Latta, one of the bill’s authors, during a speech prior to the House vote.\n“U.S. companies are investing major resources in the research and development of this tech and should not be held up by regulatory barriers” put in place when “self driving cars were science fiction,” Latta continued.\nNot all are happy with the House’s effort. Consumers Union, the policy wing of Consumer Reports, said Wednesday that lawmakers should have imposed stronger safety regulations on driverless vehicles. Unions, meanwhile, expressed fresh doubts that Congress had forged ahead without seriously considering the implications of the technology on jobs and industries like trucking.\n“Adequately addressing the impact driverless vehicles will have on jobs, wages and safety will require more deliberation and public input from all stakeholders, including transportation labor,” said Larry I. Willis, the president of the Transportation Trades Department at the AFL-CIO, in a statement.\nThose debates now fall to the Senate, where Sen. John Thune, R-S.D., and Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., have been working behind the scenes for months on their own self-driving car bill. As they wade through the remaining roadblocks, the duo — as leaders of the Senate Commerce Committee — plans to hold a hearing on Sept. 13 to see whether self-driving car legislation should include self-driving trucks, they announced Wednesday.\nBefore the hearing, some Capitol Hill sources told Recode they also expect Thune and Nelson to circulate a draft version of their bill.\nEven when they do issue a bill, though, the Senate might struggle to find the bandwidth to hold a vote. Lawmakers still have to weigh measures to fund the government, raise the debt ceiling and pay for the relief efforts in Texas after Hurricane Harvey, if not another storm barreling toward Miami.\nAmid all of that, the chamber still aims to tackle tax reform, at the urging of President Donald Trump. And it could turn unexpectedly to immigration, after Trump on Tuesday scrapped a program that protected young adults from deportation.\nFor its part, the Trump administration is expected to issue its own guidelines for self-driving cars as soon as next week. It’s supposed to be an update of the voluntary safety checklist of sorts first issued under former President Barack Obama in 2016.\nThe agency, though, faces its own series of roadblocks. The Transportation Department’s safety watchdog — the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration — still has no permanent director. Trump hasn’t even nominated anyone to the post. NHTSA, however, is tasked in the House’s just-passed bill with writing new safety rules around the construction of self-driving cars.\nMeanwhile, a panel of industry executives advising the U.S. government on driverless-car technology essentially has fallen apart under Trump. The group hasn’t met even once, sources told Recode."}

Visitors can experience her interactive work All the Eternal Love I have for Pumpkins (2016) October 4, 2019 through March 29, 2020. Dr. Michael Vetter serves as the curator of this exhibit and Emily Sogard is responsible for communications and public relations.\nTerri Procopio: What are your backgrounds?\nDr. Michael Vetter: I’ve been in Indianapolis for about six months. Previously, I was completing my PhD at the University of Maryland in College Park where I also worked at the Hirshhorn Museum and the University of Maryland’s art gallery. I started at Newfields in November of 2018.\nEmily Sogard: I started here the February before Michael. I work in PR, print, digital and earned media. Prior to Newfields, I was at the United Way working in Arts Leadership and Administration.\nTP: Can you tell me more about Yayoi Kusama?\nMV: Yayoi Kusama is one of the most well-known artists in the world and now the highest-selling living female artist. She started in the U.S. in the late 1960s by the urging of Georgia O’Keefe and became an important part of the avant-garde art movement.\nTP: How did you and Newfields become interested in her artwork?\nMV: Director and CEO Charles Venable has a relationship with the Dallas Museum of Art. He approached them about acquiring the exhibit on loan.\nTP: How can visitors prepare for the exhibit and purchase tickets?\nMV: Tickets are available to reserve online or they can be purchased at the museum. We’ll be showing the documentary Kusma – Infinity in March and will be joined by scholar Dr. Gloria Sutton for a discussion. Tickets for this can be purchased as.\nTP: What type of experience can visitors expect at the Kusama exhibit?\nMV: Two people experience the exhibit at a time and they become absorbed into the space. The exhibit is a refraction of space, light, contrast, and illumination along with being immersive and interactive. It feels like a different space and planet within the museum.\nTP: How does this exhibit impact The Indianapolis Museum of Art at Newfields and the arts in Indianapolis?\nMV: It’s a major exhibition and the first time we’ve had a Kusama exhibit in the city. It’s interactive and we want to attract more artists of this type. We’re now looking at artists beyond painting and sculpture that are more immersive and interactive.\nTP: The timing is perfect with this exhibit opening in the fall and coinciding with the inaugural Harvest Festival. Was that planned?\nES: We’re developing a seasonal model that includes Spring Blooms, Winter Lights, and now we have Harvest for the fall. The exhibit took a long time to come to fruition and we would have done both either way, but we’re thrilled that they lined up together.\nTP: What are some future endeavors for Newfields?\nMV: We’re working on more contemporary art including commissions by new artists for the Art and Nature Park. A lot of the art in this park is designed to be temporary. We’re hoping to add new site-specific pieces which will eventually decompose and go back into nature.\nIf you would like to purchase tickets to this event, you can do so here.

{"text": "Back Yard Weed Control Made Easy with a Propane Weed Burner\nWhen it comes to weed control, we’ve tried everything. Our place is a working small farm on 20 acres, so we have what we politely call a “farm lawn.” It’s not perfect, but we do make an effort to keep nature from taking over, and our weed burner is our favorite tool for weed control.\nWhat Is a Weed Torch?\nWeed torches are a simple, clean method for controlling weed growth without using nasty herbicides like Roundup. They have three parts:\n- A burner element on a long wand for burning the weeds\n- A connector hose\n- A propane tank as a fuel source\nPropane tanks are heavy. We solved this problem by using the 20-pound cylinders that we also use to power our gas grill, and we bought a small dolly made by the same manufacturer that makes our weed burner so we can roll the tank around the yard as we operate the burner wand. You’ll need a long connector hose if you use this method. The package comes with a 10-foot hose, but we bought a 25-foot hose so we didn’t have to move the tank as often.\nFor this year, we recently bought a 5-pound propane tank that we fill ourselves. It fits nicely in a backpack (also available from the manufacturer), and the 10-foot connector hose that comes with the burner wand package works perfectly with it.\nHow to Use a Weed Flamer Effectively and Safely\nBasically, the system works by pointing the flame from the burner at those annoying weeds and killing them, but there are a lot of misconceptions about using this system that we’d like to clear up. The most important point is to just cook the weed; don’t burn it to a crisp. If you burn the weed all the way to ash, the roots will survive, and it will come back. Instead, you want to evaporate most of the moisture out of the weed and then move on while it still has its green color. The plant will respond by pulling moisture out of its roots. This makes the roots wilt along with the plant and kills the entire weed. It takes 24 to 48 hours, so don’t be put off when you look outside and still see green weeds. This is exactly how the system is supposed to work.\nThe limitation on weed torches is that they work best in the spring while the weeds are small and have tender leaves. The torch system doesn’t work well on dry, woody stems. If it’s later in the year and your weed growth is well advanced, you’ll be better off waiting until next season and starting early. We also don’t use the burner in any areas where there are plants we want to keep, because it’s not very selective. Hand digging is your only choice in perennial beds.\nSafety is always a paramount concern when working with fire. Here are some tips that will help you use your system safely:\n- Always check connections and fittings for leaks before you begin\n- Don’t work in dry or windy weather\n- Keep a garden hose and sprayer handy, with enough hose to reach the area you’re working in\n- Wear safety glasses\nA Natural Weed Killer Is the Way to Go\nIt’s important to us to only use an organic weed killer and keep garden chemicals off our property because we are in the process of qualifying for organic farm certification. Most people opt for the easy solution and use an herbicide, such as Roundup, in weedy areas, especially under chain link fence. We feel strongly that we don’t want children and pets exposed to these chemicals, and we also don’t care for the results. Sure, the treated areas look great right after treatment, but when the weeds come back, they’re much worse than before because the toughest weeds are the first to come back after the soil has been treated with herbicide.\nOur approach is to use natural weed control.

{"text": "Case Study\nMember Benefits Extending Back 12 Years – and Counting\nVal Markos is the former Executive Director of Leadership Development at the Bellsouth Corporation. His experience as a member of an Executive Networks member dates back more than 12 years, the benefits of which are detailed below – in his own words:\nI have learned a lot from my peers in the Executive & Leadership Development Network of which I’m a member. I started in the network when I was new to this job and the more senior people in the network really helped me out a great deal.\nThey broadened my horizon intellectually while at the same time providing very practical advice and guidance, like how big classroom sizes should be, who were the best faculty and consultants, etc. I have been in this network for more than 12 years, which really attests to how valuable it is for me. It was a critical component to my success early on in this job and it continues to be a very dynamic place to learn and to share experiences that are very relevant to my job today.\nI really value the face-to-face meetings which include in-depth discussions on critical topics of importance to executive development professionals. This is one of the primary ways I keep up on trends and innovations, especially since I cannot attend as many conferences as in the past because of budget restrictions. And the electronic capability (email discussion groups) provides for very quick turnaround on questions I need answered.\nFor example, recently I was asked to gauge where other companies were on an issue of importance to our Board of Directors, and they needed this information in a matter of days. I was able to tap into the network electronically and within 48 hours I had 6 responses when normally it might take up to 6 weeks to gather this type of information. These are career-defining moments and the network really helped make me look like a star.\nThe benefits that my company has derived, in addition to what I’ve already covered, include:\nWho’s the best faculty to use in executive and leadership development program\nAdvice on the best learning management systems\nHow to evaluate and assess individuals\nGuidance on how to structure action learning processes or other learning methods\nEssentially, my membership in the network has led to ENLIGHTENED DECISIONS. I’ve been able to learn from the experiences of others and this has helped us not make the same mistakes and we’ve also learned from the success of others.\nIn addition, my staff has benefited from listening to the teleconferences that are periodically held on topics of interest to the network members and from accessing the archive of documents from the members and the meetings.\nI believe the success criteria for a peer-to-peer network includes:\nA broad participation base – that is, diversity. It needs to be large enough with good industry and geographic participation\nSomeone needs to actively manage and monitor the network\nNeed face-to-face exposure to other members. The Electronic stuff is great, but it is much more successful if it is build upon strong personal bonds and the type of trust that can only be established with direct contact with the other network members.\nBasically, the network is only as valuable as you make it, you get out of it what you put into it.\n– Val Markos, Bellsouth Corporation"}
{"text": "- Filed Under\nDr. Marcia,\nI am a real estate agent in Morris County, in my late 40s, divorced eight years. Last summer I met a man when I was having dinner alone in a bar/restaurant in Montville. He also is divorced, grown kids. We have been dating since, almost seven months now.\nMy friends have met him, yet I have never met any of his, although he talks about them all the time. I've asked him about us going out with other couples (his friends), and he just changes the subject. I have also never met any of his family. He went to a family wedding in September, which I was excited about, thinking I was going to go with him and finally meet everyone. When I said something about it, assuming I was joining him, he said he was not invited with a guest.\nA terrible fight ensued when I asked him to tell his sister he wanted to bring me. The same thing happened this holiday season. This has really been the source of much fighting. I was talking about this to one of my friends, and she keeps saying something is not right.\nI have never been to his place. He always comes to my home. Two days before Christmas, he told me he was seeing other people and was \"done with me\" and just left and will not answer my calls.\nThe reality of the fact that he was just using me for sex is setting in. We never did anything except go out to dinner. He would never go to a party or event with me. He would also never let me get a picture taken of the two of us together. I feel like he was ashamed of me. I am devastated and need to understand why he treated me like this.\nReality check\nDear Reality,\nYou came to the right place for help (get sympathy from your friends). Fasten your seat belt, because I am going to tell you what you need to face in order to pull yourself together and move on.\nYou are right. You were used. The difficult part to face is that it happened because you allowed it.\nYes, he's a jerk, but you allowed him to treat you like this. You were clearly bothered by many things yet continued to see him. The tough question for you to answer is why you did not do something about it from the start.\nStart moving on by getting rid of anything and everything that reminds you of him. Every time you feel like contacting him, remember how poorly he treated you and that you let him take away your self-respect. Get it back by learning from this experience and moving forward.\nRemember, we teach people how to treat us. Respect yourself if you want others to respect you."}

The contention of some State Department officials that the Arab world is not ready for democracy defies both logic and historical reality. Up to the early 1950s, Egypt, Iraq, Syria, and Lebanon, the forerunner Arab peoples to independence, were parliamentary democracies. It is only with the advent of military coups and one-party systems that the moral fiber of political life began to degenerate and Arab societies fell into the abyss of dictatorship and backwardness. Unless people practice democracy, they will never be democratic. How can anybody discover the value of freedom if they are constantly governed by terror and torture and intimidation? Constrained and intimidated political groups will surely malpractice their newly retrieved franchise not out of malice or evil intentions, but rather out of frustration, ignorance, and inexperience.

The speaker, Judith Orloff is a master teacher, coach, transpersonal psychotherapies, author, speaker, and student of various wisdom traditions who specializes in guiding people through the bumps in the roads of their personal and professional relationships through helping them to shift the way they perceive the world and the people in it.\nAccording to Orloff, “True Love is the experience of being authentic in all relationships — in simple, practical ways.” The main principal is that people tend to try to “control what is” which makes them unhappy when things don’t work out as they plan.\nA supporting concept of Judith’s programs is the recognition that “no one can change what is.” and that people need to learn to “see clearly without interpretations, explanations, rationalizations, and manipulation.” This allows people to relax and trust their own wisdom in the release of old hurts and angers, reflexive judgments, and other reactive responses, leaving room for the idea that “what we thought was a problem, may not be one after all.”\nThe evening, which is FREE, begins at 7 PM. Dinner includes a glatt-kosher meal including chicken soup, potato kugel, salad, and homemade cake for dessert.\nAll Jewish women are welcome, but an RSVP is required at lbkosher@gmail.com or 720 422 6776. This is a women-only event. Chabad of Boulder is located at 4900 Sioux Drive.\nThank you Chany,\nIt is always a privilege and an honor to be asked to share my experience with women who are amazing.

{"text": "Judgment. It would seem to be so hard hearted to exercise discernment concerning a brother’s unbiblical behavior. Isaiah 1:16.” (KJV)\nJudgment is not the Same as Condemnation\nIt is common in Christian circles to hear believers state that “we should not judge other people,” and while we are never to condemn (Greek: kataÌkrima, “to render condemnation“ ~ Romans 5:16, 18; 8:1) another person, as this is God’s role and not ours; this statement is not completely true, in fact sometimes it is completely false because we are commanded to judge others).\nFallen Human Nature & Judging\nAt the worldly, secular level it is common to observe a lack of desire to judge or be judged, which becomes understandable in light of the natural (fallen nature) human rejection of authority in general (Proverbs 12:15; 16:2; 21:2), and the authority of God in particular (Psalms 107:8-11; 10:4).\nAdded to this is the observation that the display of judgment lends itself to the manifestation of condescension, aggression, a lack of sensitivity or being unsympathetic, and of being inconsiderate, callous, unkind, or harsh. one of the most important, as well sophisticated passages that addresses the application of judgment, also referred to as discernment is found in Hebrews 5:11-14, which states:\n.”.\nDiscernment & Spiritual Growth\nWhat a pathetic picture the author draws, that of believers who should be spiritual adults, yet spiritually immature believers unable to dig deeper into God’s Word; not because they have not heard the teachings, not because there’s not been a teacher to explain it, not because there is a lack of ability to perceive what is stated cognitively; but because of their lack of exercising proper judgment concerning what is good and evil. is:\nSpiritual perception,\nthe understanding of God’s Word,\nspiritual growth,\nwhich is4).\nA few examples taken from the Word of God concerning the word “judgment” in regards to diverse applications are:\n1) Execution of Judgment ~ Only God’s prerogative ~ 2 Thess. 2:12; Acts 7:7.. (From K-House.org),“).\nThe first word for judge, diakrino, means to separate thoroughly, to withdraw from, to discriminate, or decide; depending on the grammatical breakdown.\nThe second word for judge, krino according to be accepted openly, as well as believers defrauding other believers financially, their preoccupation with mysticism, along with signs and wonders in place of gifts of the Spirit, where the supper of the Lord was abused in drunkenness and gluttony, while others went hungry.\nWhere selfishness became the norm to the extent that Paul worked a full-time job to support himself as well as the Ministry (which he later regretted because it added to their spiritual immaturity) no doubt exhibiting their lack of financial support in spite of the fact that they were very affluent.\nYet, in a close examination it becomes apparent that all of this existed because of their lack of and refusal to exercise proper judgment according to the mind of Christ.\nThey were a very worldly church that refused to judge and intervene according to the church discipline .\nPaul and others also warned us concerning deception as recorded in: John 7:24; Acts 20:28; Romans 16:18; I Corinthians 3:18; 5:1-13; 6:9; 15:33; Galatians 1:6-9; 6:3,7; Ephesians 4:14; 5:6; 5:11; II Thessalonians 2:3,10; 3:6; 3:14-15; Titus 1:10-16; II Timothy 2:15; 3:5-7; Hebrews 5:14, James 1:22,26; II Peter 2:14; I John 1:5, 8; 3:7; 4:1; II John 1:6-9; as well as the seven times that the word “deceive” is used concerning the Devil in the book of Revelation.?”.\nChurch Discipline. We, the reading audience are not who Jesus is directing addressing here as He is speaking to the second person (“thee,” or “you”), He does this to communicate that we have all been guilty of offending someone else, and within the church this is something that should be dwelt with rather than allowing it to fester. you feel justified, the one who is right..\n8. If he appear ~\nThe problem that we have in understanding this passage is our lack of awareness that it had become common during that period of time, that if a Jew (wealthy & powerful prominent individuals) had felt that he had been wronged and suffered loss at the hands of another, rather than following Gods ordained system of law (Deuteronomy 19:18-21) which dictated that a local magistrate would investigate the situation and render justice in the form of any prescribed punishment according to the law of God, the Jews would revenge themselves, which meant that it was no longer a system of justice, but of vengeance.\nWhat Christ is not saying here is to disregard the law, which contained a criminal justice system concerning the punishment of criminal behavior (Matthew 7:12; Romans 3:31).\nWhat Christ is saying here is that believers are not to revenge themselves upon perpetrators, but being willing to forgo what had become the standard of the day, which was to retaliate when one was wronged.\nChrist is indicating that we should forgive those that offend us.\nResist not evil, but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other\nIt had become common that if a Jew felt humiliated or shamed by another, in return they would strike a person upon the cheek which in itself was viewed as an act of humiliation (Lam. 3:30; Job 16:11).\nThis was usually done with an audience, in front of others as a display of shame and ridicule.\nThe physical pain was minimal and not meant to address or correct negative behavior, but it was the humiliation of the act that was the point of the offense.\nThe very act of slapping another person on the face was an act of condescension, displaying pride and arrogance, and therefore considered evil in its self.\nThe Greek phrase used here (me antistenai toi poneroi), would be more literally translated: “resist not him that is evil,” which concerning the grammar is in the infinitive (second aorist active), an indirect command; which could place the emphasis either on “the evil man,” or “the evil deed,” but either way this plays the assumption of the definite article (“THE“) in the English, which indicates this Himself when He was slapped (as a sign of humiliation and ridicule) by one of the Temple officer’s while being questioned by the High Priest (John 18:19-23), and Jesus responded by verbally defending himself and saying, “If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil: but if well, why smitest thou).\nThe point is that Jesus is not presenting a pacifist doctrine here.\nAs believers we are always to fight against evil, and those that promote it, otherwise we would violate the very law which God had given to man as a reference concerning what was good, which always mandated fighting and punishing what was evil. Jesus was not contradicting the law.\nJesus did not come to change the law, but to fulfill it (Matthew 5:17; Luke 24:44) by dying for the sins of the world (2 Corinthians 5:21).\nThe point was not that we are all forgiven, but that our punishment was paid by Jesus, that there had to be punishment (1 John 2:2; Romans 3:25; 1 John 4:10), that the justice of God would be upheld (Romans 3:25).\nWhat Christ is saying is that if a (small) offense is committed against you, such as being shamed by another (to reiterate, which is what being stricken on the cheek meant to the Jews, striking on the cheek was considered a non-punishable offense, one of questioning another’s integrity by publicly shaming them), take the offense and don’t revenge yourself, show honor and character in the face of humiliation.\nIf any man will sue thee at the law\nFirst, and most importantly, what Jesus indicates here is that you are guilty in this litigation, and that your accuser wins against you, according to the legal conclusion against you in that the court determines to: “take away thy coat.”\nThe law was very specific concerning the loss of personal property, especially if it was the essentials, such as a personal wardrobe (which are many consisted of the clothes on their back).\nJesus is here referring to a common occurrence of his day, wherein an individual would utilize their (tunic) inner garment as collateral for a purchase, and after being found guilty of not having fulfilled your part of the bargain, be prepared to surrender your outer garment as well.\nBecause of the essential nature of the need of clothing, such as the tunic, in Hebrew law, the only way that your adversary could seize your tunic was because you used it as collateral for a loan and default on the loan.\nIt was common that if an individual conducted a street transaction (bartering) and did not have the items with them (which in a case where coinage was not used or available, bartering by using animals or other intrinsic articles was common), they would leave as collateral something of greater value with the person, such as their interior coat / tunic.\nThis is seen when Judah doesn’t have the price of bartering (“a kid of the flock“) to pay Tamar, but uses as collateral (pledge) his signet, both bracelets and his staff (Genesis 38:17-18).\nTherefore what Christ is saying is if you lose litigation, indicating that you are wrong, be prepared to pay not just your obligation but even more in recompense, which in this case would be to allow the claimant to have your outer cloak as well, which was more expensive.\nWhoever shall compel thee to go a mile\nThe expression “shall compel” was a specific terminology of Persian origin (a Figure of Speech, a current American cultural expression would be like saying “the few, the proud, …”, which would set the stage for the understanding that the reference was an expression concerning “…the Marines”), and was utilized concerning a royal standing command that was as a Royal law of the kingdom, throughout the conquered lands of Persia (from which the Jews had many times been under, such as Cyrus), and was understood that one of the officers of the King’s court could demand that a local citizen would personally escort them during their journey for a distance of up to 1 mile in aiding them during their travels..\nThe point that Christ is making is that when it comes to our civil commitments (whether they seem righteous or not), we should be willing to not only fulfill the requirement of the law, but sacrifice even more than required. Believers, as citizens are not only to meet their requirements, but to exceed them.\nA final thought\nIt is amazing to consider that due to a lack of understanding concerning cultural issues of the (Biblical) times, that when believers do not study (studying is far more than simply reading, it is using credible Biblical dictionaries, encyclopedias, commentaries, word studies, and being fed by Spirit and guided Bible teachers; and more. If we love God with our whole being [Mark 20:30], why would we do less) God’s Word, that what they perceive superficially ends up being much different from the reality that is presented.\nSummary\nConcerning Matthew 5:38-41, these 3 short verses hold tremendous insights and immense meaning.\nFirst, do not revenge yourself, but allow the Powers that God has ordained (Romans 13:1-7; 1 Peter 2:13-17) to administer justice. ~ Be a forgiving person\nSecond, if someone shames, humiliates, or ridicules you; do not revenge yourself, but show honor and character by not reiterating the same back. ~ Be a humble person\nThirdly, if you have been found legally guilty, and rightly so, be prepared to suffer for your wrongs into pay back even more than what seems fair. ~ Be a righteous person\nFourthly, concerning your civil commitments; be willing to not simply meet your requirements, but to exceed them as well. ~ Be a good neighbor and good citizen, therefore be a good example\nEnd.Repfrint from above:.\n3.
