Tottenham boss Andre Villas-Boas was delighted with his attacking force after the 3-1 win over Maribor in the Europa League.The manager saw his side produce a dominant display to take them two points behind Group J leaders Lazio, with Jermain Defoe overtaking Spurs legend Teddy Sheringham in the all-time scoring charts.
The manager praised both Defoe and Gareth Bale, after the pair combined for two of Spurs' three goals.
"He (Defoe) makes the most of the opportunities that he gets and Gareth was amazing in his creation of the chances for him," Villas-Boas told Tottenham's official Twitter account.
"When you have so much quality, you will always get opportunities to score, and Jermain is a clinical striker.
"It's also good for him to overtake Teddy Sheringham, it means a lot to him."
The Portuguese also was pleased with the character his side showed as they went into the interval at 1-1 thanks to an ill-advised back-pass from Kyle Naughton and a mistake from French goalkeeper Hugo Lloris.
"I thought we were brilliant from the beginning," he said. "The possession and attacking football was great to see. It was good to see the desire of the players to come back from 1-1.
"The way we kept the ball was fantastic. When we play like that we deserve good things."
Despite the success, Villas-Boas said he will decide his formation on a game-by-game basis, and with Manchester City coming up for Spurs at the weekend, the manager refused to say whether he would stick with the 4-4-2 formation for the clash against the Premier League champions.
"We can create a lot of opportunities when we play with one striker too," he said.
"We've done well in the past with both formations. We go four steps up in the level of competition at the weekend so that will be a different type of game and scenario.
"So we'll regather the boys and then we'll start to focus on that game."

"Ryan ran a terrific race," said head coach Bill Taylor. "He was smooth and in control the entire race. It was by far the best race I've seen from anyone here at Lipscomb since I arrived last year.
"I've been waiting for Ryan to go to the next level. He's got so much talent and he's a great person. It was wonderful to see him figure it out."
Every milestone is important to the track programs. "Each of these big performance, race wins, and PR's this season make it easier for the next athlete on our team to believe," said Taylor. " It's why this season has been getting better and better and it is essential to our progress. We've had so many 20+ second PR's this year. It spreads like a positive virus."
Kristin Ratzlaff was the biggest standout performer for the women's team. Kristin finished third in her specialty event, the javelin, with a season best throw of 108-3, and set all time PR's in the Discus (96-1) and shot put (33-3).
"Kristin had a really great day today." said Taylor. "To get a personal record or season best in all three events is tough to do. We continue to get stronger across the board in Track & Field this year."
Also of note was freshman Catherine Beals performance in the 1500m. Her fifth place finish in a time of 4:58.96 was her all time PR. She is also the fifth woman on the team this year to break five minutes.
"In our progress as a team having five women break five is very important," said Taylor. "Last year we didn't have a single woman get under five minutes for the open 1500m. So, I consider that dramatic improvement. Next year we will take yet another big step in all our events. This is how you build a program. It gets a lot better each year for a few years, then 'suddenly' you're an elite program."
The Lipscomb Men's and Women's Track & Field teams will next compete Saturday (April 25th) at the Western Kentucky Invite in Bowling Green, Ky.

The number of servings that are right for your teenager hinges on how many calories he or she needs—which is based on age, sex, size and activity level. Most youngsters (and adults) should eat at least the minimum amount of servings in the ranges.
You might wonder how you'll ever get your teenager to eat the recommended several servings of fruits and vegetables. But if you look at the table referenced below, you'll see that many of the recommended serving sizes are actually quite small. For example, a recommended serving of ready-to-eat cereal—just one ounce—would barely cover the bottom of the bowl, when it wouldn't be unusual for a growing boy to scarf down a cupful or more at breakfast.

Our Congress Has Failed Us: Gives In On Telecom Immunity
from the no-checks,-no-balances dept
To summarize: it appears quite likely that various telcos broke a very clear law in providing wiretaps to the government without a warrant (as required under FISA). Despite what you might hear, this has nothing to do with emergency wiretaps where there wasn't time to go the warrants. Under existing law, in such cases, it's possible to get the wiretap and get the warrant within a few days. However, in many cases, it appears no warrant was ever sought. The fact that the telcos approved these wiretaps is almost certainly against the law -- and it seems that it should obviously be tried in a court of law to determine that specifically.
However, under this new law, Congress has basically given the President (who ordered the wiretaps in the first place, and doesn't want these trials to go forward since they may reveal that he broke the law too) "get out of jail free" cards he can hand to each telco, saying that since he told them that the wiretaps were legal, the lawsuits no longer can proceed. Basically, this puts the President above the law, lets him avoid trials that might prove that his activities broke the law and to reward telcos who broke the law at his command.
Even worse, the bill basically grants the administration the right to keep on spying without getting warrants. Intelligence agencies will be able to demand various communications providers hand over communications without court approval and without naming the target, so long as they claim that the communications are "reasonably believed to involve a non-American who is outside the country." Seems rather wide open for abuse doesn't it?
This whole thing is fairly stunning, considering that it's an opposition Congress facing off against a weak administration. Yet Congress basically gave the President exactly what he wanted, and made a mockery of the checks and balances our government was supposed to include. This is allowing a President to say the law is whatever he says is the law, while destroying basic due process and civil liberties along the way.

Whenever Yogis or Nath-Yogis meet, they greet each other with the salutation "Adesh-Adesh!" Gorakshanath the Maha Yogi wrote:
Aatmetu paramaatmeti jiivatmeti vicaarane
Trayaanaam aikya-samshutir asdes's iti kiirtitah
In our relative thought we distinguish between Atman, Paramatman, and Jiva.
The Truth is that these three are one and a realization of it is called Adesha.
Thus the yogi in his contact with others expressed only the simple truth in the words, "Adesh-Adesh!" .

After 4-month manhunt, Greek police kill prison escape leader in firefight near AlbaniaATHENS, Greece (AP) — Greek police say they have killed Marian Kola, the Albanian mastermind of a daring prison escape, in an intense firefight after a four-month manhunt.
Kola and fellow escapee Ilir Kupa clashed with a police patrol near the border with Albania, in northwest Greece.
According to a police statement, Kola and Kupa used AK-47 assault rifles and pistols and a police officer was wounded in the leg during the encounter Sunday. Police are still searching for Kupa.
Kola, Kupa and nine other Albanians escaped from a central Greece prison on March 22.
Since then, in several clashes with police, three of the escapees and an outside accomplice were killed.
Also killed were a police officer in June and a 25-year-old female bystander in April. The other escapees have been arrested.

Slash Seeks Assistance in Recovering Old Les Paul Goldtop Guitar
Slash is looking to reunite with an "old friend," but this relationship comes strings attached … assuming that his onetime guitar still has strings. The guitar great is hoping that his extensive social networking and online following will help relocate one of his Les Paul guitars that he used back in the early '90s.
The time frame on this instrument would put it as part of the Guns N' Roses era for Slash and he was seen playing it onstage. Just to jog the memory of his fans, he's offered up a photo of himself performing with the guitar in question (as seen to the left) in hopes of helping the search. Slash did not offer any further clues as to where or when the guitar might have left his possession.
In his posting, he wrote:
I'm trying to find a Les Paul that I used back in the early 90′s. I've since lost track of it. It was an 1989/90 Gibson Goldtop, serial #70854. I always loved that guitar and would be interested in buying it back from whomever has it ... I'll make it worth their while.
If you have any information on the location of this guitar, please email firstname.lastname@example.com
The guitar would likely come in handy for Slash, who has been plenty busy of late. The rocker has been demoing some new material in the studio, presumably for his next album, and working on songs for the upcoming Slasher Films production, 'Nothing Left to Fear.'

R.C. Owens had an up-and-down career as a receiver for the San Francisco 49ers.
The ball went up, and Owens routinely came down with it.
Owens, whose leaping catches became his signature and introduced the term "alley oop" into the sports lexicon, died of kidney failure June 17 in Manteca, south of Stockton. He was 77.
"There were numerous games when he'd jump up and score the winning touchdown," recalled Bob St. Clair, a tackle and captain on 49ers teams in the 1950s. "The defensive backs would fall down in the end zone and pound the turf. They'd just get so mad at themselves that he was able to out-jump them all. We'd just laugh."
Although the long-pass play was labeled in the playbook as "West Four right," it was simply known as "alley oop" to the 49ers and then their fans, who first witnessed it in a game in 1957.
Quarterback Y.A. Tittle would lob a pass into a crowd, and Owens, a onetime College of Idaho basketball star who led the nation in rebounding, would snatch it out of the sky.
"Do you know any teenagers? Even they could throw that pass," Tittle told the San Jose Mercury News in 2007, the 50th anniversary of the club's first documented alley oop. "You just throw it up in the air and hope."
There is some debate over when the first such pass was thrown, but the 49ers point to their fourth exhibition game in 1957, when Tittle — in the face of a fierce pass rush by the Chicago Cardinals — attempted to safely fling a ball away by tossing it out of the back of the end zone.
To Tittle's shock, the rookie Owens bounded up and reeled in the football for a touchdown.
"Gee whiz, you made me look good," Tittle said.
"I can do it every time," Owens replied.
Alley oop plays resulted in three game-winning touchdowns that season, powering the 49ers to an 8-4 record and their first playoff appearance. He once blocked a field goal by swatting away the ball just as it was about to clear the crossbar. (NFL rules now preclude that type of goal tending.)
The term "alley oop" is now used more frequently in basketball, typically referring to a set-up for a dunk in which a player lobs the ball to a teammate near the rim.
Raleigh Climon Owens was born Nov. 12, 1934, in Shreveport, La. His parents moved to Santa Monica two years later. He attended College of Idaho on a football and basketball scholarship, and while there talked his roommate, future Lakers great Elgin Baylor, out of playing football.
Even though he was selected in the 14th round of the 1956 NFL draft, Owens made an immediate splash. He was the 49ers' rookie of the year, with 27 catches for 395 yards and five touchdowns — big numbers in an era of running the football.
Owens played eight seasons in the NFL, his first five with the 49ers (1957-61), followed by two with the Baltimore Colts (1962-63) and one with the New York Giants (1964). He was the first NFL receiver to wear gloves, a holdover from those bitter-cold games in Idaho.
Owens had an effect on the game that extended beyond the field. Unhappy with a contract that paid him $10,500 for the 1960 season, he played out his option year in 1961 instead of signing a new deal with the 49ers. He then became a free agent, and the first to play out his option year then sign with another team, the Colts.
So jarring was that move that 49ers owner Vic Morabito never again spoke to Colts owner Carroll Rosenbloom. A year later, NFL Commissioner Pete Rozelle devised the "Rozelle Rule," which required the signing team (in Owens' case, the Colts) to compensate the player's original team for the loss — usually in the form of money or draft picks.
No stranger to heartache, Owens was involved in a tragic car accident in June 1963 as he was driving to Colts training camp in Colorado. A tornado swept his car off the road, and his 3-year-old daughter, Pam, was killed. His 1-month-old son, Darren, sustained a fractured skull, which the family believed led to his death at age 7.
After his playing career, Owens worked in public relations for J.C. Penney Co. and later in a California office for the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. He returned to sports to work in marketing for the Oakland Stompers soccer team.
In 1979, Bill Walsh hired him to organize 49ers training camp, and Owens was reunited with the franchise that gave him his start. During more than two decades in the team's front office, he ran alumni relations for a franchise that would go on to win five Super Bowls, served as the point man for the club in the community and even donned a red suit and white beard to play Santa at Christmas.
Nicole Gisele, longtime administrative assistant to Hall of Fame coach Walsh, remembered Owens as an unfailingly upbeat ambassador for the franchise: "It was his motto: 'I'm two steps away! I'll be right there!' "
"You name it, R.C. did it for the players," former 49ers cornerback Eric Wright said. "Guys looked up to him. He was a mentor to a lot of the younger guys and a big brother to all of us."
Owens is survived by his wife, Susan; his daughter, Melinda Grissett; son, Kelvin Owens; stepsons Ken Morrell and Anthony Salazar; stepdaughter Shelly DiStefano; and 17 grandchildren.
A memorial service will be held at 11 a.m. Friday at Glide Memorial Church, 330 Ellis St., San Francisco.
R.C. Owens had an up-and-down career as a receiver for the San Francisco 49ers.

ProSoft Technology 802.11n Industrial Hotspot Radios resolve tough wireless problems
ProSoft Technology 802.11n Industrial Hotspot solutions (RLXIB-IHxN) – The RLXIB-IHxN series of radios provides enterprise-class technology, optimized for rugged industrial performance and easy wireless deployment in the field using one webpage setup.
The RLXIBIHxN series delivers enterprise-class 802.11n technology speeds, security and flexibility while meeting the specific needs of industrial customers who demand ease of deployment, ruggedness and reliable industrial communication.
The RadioLinx 802.11n family provides reliable I/O message delivery, industrial temperature range and hazardous location ratings, as well as Radiu security for centralized management of security policies, VLANs for network traffic segmentation, and quality of service (QoS) for data prioritization and dual radio functionality, the company says. The radios leverage the latest technology to provide greater flexibility and performance to a broad range of manufacturing and production applications. The 802.11n Industrial Hotspots improve performance for high-bandwidth video/voice applications and high packet-rate control applications. They also provide better signal sensitivity and range in environments like mobile factory settings, ProSoft Technology says. Options are available to suit the application, including Single (RLXIB-IHN), Dual (RLXIB-IH2N), and Watertight Dual (RLXIB-IH2N-W) Industrial Hotspots.
The radios use MIMO (Multiple Input, Multiple Output), a technology which uses up to three antennas to enable high-speed data rates up to 300 Mbps, providing advanced performance in industrial environments. Where concerns about network crowding exist, the radios can operate in the 5GHz Band, which contains 23 non-overlapping channels. 5 GHz also provides an alternative to the popular 2.4 GHz Band, which may have limited availability if already used in existing installations.
Each product has two radios in one unit and only requires one Ethernet connection. The dual radios can be used in lieu of a repeater to extend the range of your wireless network without sacrificing speed.
Easy to configure and monitor
ProSoft Technology RadioLinx WirelessN Discovery Tool is a configuration and monitoring tool for the RadioLinx 802.11n Industrial Hotspot radios. Use RadioLinx WirelessN Discovery Tool to view your network topology, assign IP addresses to radios for configuration, monitor network diagnostics, update radio firmware and detect the presence of other vendors' 802.11 radios on the network. ProSoft Technology's free OPC Server allows for HMI-based wireless network diagnostics. User selectable automatic or manual network configuration (can be prioritized or fixed) with self-healing network and master redundancy for reliable large networks (such as SCADA).
RLXIB-IHN includes the industrial features of RadioLinx products including hazardous location certifications (UL1604 Class I Div 2, ATEX Zone 2 Category 3), extended operating temperature range, high vibration/shock resistance, DIN-rail mounting, Power over Ethernet and simultaneous bridge / repeater / access point mode.
In addition to the advantages cited above, Harry Forbes of ARC Advisory Group noted, "These new ProSoft Hotspots are among the first to bring 802.11n technology to industrial automation networks."

Was it worth it?
The US war in Iraq is officially over and the cost in human life, both American and Iraqi, was high. It was also a financial drain on the US Treasury, contributing substantially to current American budget deficits.
The war was triggered by concern that Iraq was nuclear-weapons capable. Various foreign intelligence agencies, including that of Saudi Arabia, warned that Saddam Hussein's regime had acquired, or was close to acquiring, nuclear weaponry. The CIA concluded the same.
After his capture, millions of jubilant Iraqis went to unrigged polls for the first time and waved purple fingers at the TV cameras, demonstrating their new freedom.
Does this make worthy the American sacrifice on their behalf? It certainly must be weighed as a factor.
Mr. Hussein himself contributed to the thesis by playing a dangerous shell game. Largely to convince his then-enemy Iran, he whispered that he did have such weapons. Even some of his own generals believed it. But to the United Nations and the United States and other worried nations he offered assurances that he did not.
President George W. Bush believed that Iraq's nuclear threat was real. The war was launched. Although Hussein had dabbled in a nuclear program in the past, the weaponry was not there.
The families of those who sacrificed or were wounded should take heart from this achievement: The US eliminated arguably one of the worst dictators since Adolf Hitler. Hussein put to death hundreds of thousands of his own people for political reasons. He eliminated many thousands more Muslims in a war with Iran and an invasion of Kuwait.
Freedom is the very foundation on which the American ethos is built.
The US has a long history of support for oppressed people around the globe, even when its own national security is not immediately threatened. Americans gave their lives in World War II although there was no real German threat to the American homeland. They fought again on behalf of South Koreans, although no North Korean legions were landing on US shores.
In the midst of war weariness, and a concern for the state of the American economy, there is understandably current discussion in the US about if, and when, and how, to undertake new military ventures abroad. This is wise.
But there is a legitimate national interest in the growth of freedom around the globe. Dictatorships are usually more dangerous than democratic nations that are stable and prospering.
Iraq's postwar story is still in the making. It is a quasi-democracy, presided over by an autocratically inclined Shiite prime minister, Nouri al-Maliki. There are three principal communities in the country – Shiites, Sunnis, and Kurds, as well as diverse tribes and factions. Harmony and cooperation among them will be essential.
It is not clear whether Iraq's ultimate government will be a strong central one or a federal one with much local autonomy. But Iraqis' immediate needs are security, jobs, and improved services like a reliable supply of electricity.
They also need freedom from interference from neighboring Iran. A large American diplomatic presence in Baghdad will be keeping a watchful eye on this. American military forces are not far away, notably in Bahrain and Kuwait. Though some Shiite politicians may find common cause with those in Iran, it seems improbable that having endured so much to achieve their own nation's sovereignty and independence, Iraqis would subjugate that to Iran.
It is difficult to know what inspiration the overthrow of Saddam Hussein and Iraq's embrace of freedom has played, or will play, in the awakening of the Arab world and the formation of new governments in Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, and ultimately Syria.
The final answer to whether America's sacrifice in Iraq was worth it must wait for history's unfolding. Iraqis must treasure democracy in their land, as strongly as Americans fought for it.
John Hughes, a former editor of the Monitor, writes a biweekly column.

|Condition or disease
|HIV Infections
|Drug: Aldesleukin
|Not Applicable
One approach in reconstituting an HIV-diminished immune system is the use of potent antiretroviral therapy (ART) in conjunction with IL-2. IL-2 is a cytokine secreted by activated T cells that regulates the proliferation and differentiation of CD4 and CD8 T cells. Although treatment with IL-2 can cause temporary increases in HIV viral load, clinical studies with IL-2 have revealed no long-term adverse effects on viral load. IL-2 therapy may also help purge the host's latent viral reservoir through activation of resting lymphocytes harboring provirus. Another approach to managing HIV infection is strategic treatment interruption. Results from small pilot trials suggest that HIV replication can be highly suppressed over consecutive courses of ART following short treatment interruptions, and CD4 T cell counts can be maintained on these interruptions with some positive effect on HIV-specific immunity. This study will evaluate potent ART, started and interrupted based on CD4 cell counts, with or without IL-2.
Patients will be stratified based on lifetime CD4 T-cell nadir (lowest measurement) into one of three groups. Group 1 will have a nadir of 200 CD4 cells/mm3; Group 2 will have a nadir greater than 200 CD4 cells/mm3; and patients with no documented nadir count available will join Group 3. Within each group, patients will be randomly assigned to one of two study arms. Arm A patients will receive pulses of potent ART with IL-2, while Arm B patients will receive pulses of potent ART alone. Patients in Arm A will receive potent ART with IL-2 given by subcutaneous injection twice daily for 5 days every 8 weeks for at least 17 weeks. Arm B patients will receive potent ART alone for at least 17 weeks. Both groups then go on treatment interruption for approximately 64 weeks, followed by potent ART alone for an additional 24 weeks. Patients will repeat this cycle of potent ART with or without IL-2, treatment interruption, and potent ART alone throughout the study. This study will last approximately 4 years.
Clinical and laboratory assessments will be performed periodically throughout the study. CD4 T cell counts and viral load will determine if a patient can enter the next treatment step. Potent ART is not provided by this study.
A5109s is a limited-center substudy designed to determine whether viral replication impairs lymphocyte proliferation in vivo. Patients at substudy-participating sites will register to the substudy immediately after beginning their first treatment interruption in the main study.

The deadline for citizens to submit applications for appointment to one of several city boards and commissions for the next term has expired, and City Council will make appointments to fill vacancies during a special meeting on Dec. 17.
The deadline for citizens to submit applications for appointment to one of several city boards and commissions for the next term has expired, and City Council will make appointments to fill vacancies during a special meeting on Dec. 17.
Oak Ridge City Council discussed filling those vacancies at a recent work session and shared concerns about the lack of applicants for at least one of the boards.
The Trade Licensing Board has two vacancies for a three-year term and at least one applicant should have a current and valid mechanical license from the city.
The deadline for applications for the seven-member TLB was extended but has now expired.
Discussion during the work sessions included housing-related issues relative to boards and economic development issues … and its relationship to appointments.
City Manager Mark Watson said only two boards were "contractual entities" and only two were "independent."
Those include, respectively, the Anderson County Economic Development Association and the Oak Ridge Housing Authority, and the Industrial Development Board as well as the Convention and Visitors Bureau Advisory Board.
Newly elected Council member Trina Baughn commented about the Housing Authority's low-income housing, asking if about 50 percent of low-income housing falls under that board's control. Council member Anne Garcia Garland asked about tax payments from the ORHA.
Janice McGinnis, the city's finance director, said the ORHA pays property taxes on a formula at a reduced rate.
Watson also said the ORHA board "needs strong individuals," and said the Economic Development goals "have to be addressed" in light of cuts to both the Economic Partnership and the Roane Alliance.
Garcia Garland suggested a policy work session on economic development issues and Baughn suggested the Council "look at candidates through the lens of liability" in respect to the Economic Development board.
Council also talked briefly about other boards and how many could have interrelations. Could an events coordinator for the ORCVB board, for example, come through the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board?
Some discussion about "doing away" with the Highland View Redevelopment Board was also on the table.
"That probably needs to be looked at," Watson remarked.
Council member Chuck Hope said many of the "legacy homes," if redeveloped, could benefit young people and offer five legacy neighborhoods a new start.
City Council members also decided to discuss housing issues in a later work session.
"Boards and commissions are the eyes and ears of the Council," Hope said, "and it would be beneficial for us to see if goals are viable."
The Oak Ridge City Council will make appointments to about 17 boards and commissions to fill more than 40 vacancies during its Dec. 17 meeting.

Ken Wruk Wins 2008 Melges 17 Midwinter Championship — Perfect Conditions For Final Day
11 March 2008
Due to high winds, no races were sailed Saturday. Sailors were forced to resort to auxiliary activities. Bowling!! In addition to being one of the premier racing fleets on the water, many sailors in the Melges 17 fleet proved to be excellent bowlers.
It was cold Sunday, and some even reported frost as they uncovered their boats. This was a rare experience in Florida. As the sun came up, the sailors headed out for the days racing in heavy spray gear and winter hats. Cold, but heated up fast!!
Sandy Sundberg and his PRO team were right on time with a 9:30 AM start for race 1. The breeze was a perfect 10-12 knots. Racing was close up the first leg.There were many lead changes, as the fleet tried to figure out the tricky winds. At the windward mark it was Bill and Angie Wiggins followed by Mary Anne Ward and Blaire Ross. These two were able to extend downwind, and separate themselves from the fleet. With their new 'Melges Rocks' spinnaker, team Wiggins proved they were a dominant team sailing downhill. They were able to lengthen their lead around the entire course, and won by a nice margin. Ward was second followed by Ken Wruk in third. The downwinds were exciting in these conditions. Tactically, many gains and losses can be made in these boats downwind. You really need to find the pressure and stay in it for as long as you can to keep the boat going top speed.
The breeze had now settled in nicely for race two of the day. Ken Wruk played in safe off the line and got a great start right in middle. This team used their speed and tactics to work up to the front of the fleet, and eventually they led at the first windward mark. Following in second was Jordan Wiggins who was filling in for Ron Baerwitz. Jordan is 10 years old and a competitive opti sailor. It was great to see such young talent sailing these boats!! Jordan was able to challenge Wruk downwind, but Wruk proved too much to handle upwind. Wruk went on to win this race, Jordan Wiggins second, and Mary Anne Ward rounded out the top three.
With one final race to go, Ken Wruk and Tommy Clough were the regatta leaders. They had a two point lead over team Baerwitz/Wiggins/Kimball. The racing had been close leading up to this point, and Wruk and Clough had had their eyes on them for most of the day. They had been tacking on and covering this boat any chance they could. A good strategy that had worked for the first two races.
The third race started in a dying breeze. The wind proved to be very tricky up the first beat. Mary Anne Ward and Jordan Wiggins got off to great starts only to see the wind cave on the left side and the fleet sail by. Not a pretty sight for those two! Knox Rodgers and Wruk led most of the race. Wiggins and Ward battled hard to get back into this race in the shifty conditions. On the final beat things got really crazy. The leaders, Rodgers and Wruk, sailed into a massive hole. Several boats were able to pass these two, and one of them was Jordan Wiggins. The Championship was now up for grabs. Wruk was close and fighting hard to stay there. Mike and Drew Sayce went on to win arguably the hardest race of the regatta. Jordan Wiggins was able to finish fourth with Wruk in sixth. Not enough to pass Wruk for the overall regatta lead. Ken Wruk and Tommy Clough sailed a great series to win their first Midiwinter Championship. Congratulations!

Our particular favorite is the late night eats at Lillie's Noodle Bar – but that's only after jumping around from place to place all within the Golden Nugget.
Again, the best part is that while they've completely renovated, they've kept it completely affordable. They're not trying to gouge customers and you get so much for your money it's ridiculous. Check it out.

The only reason that I use them this summer and fall is I missed most of the summer with knee surgery and am looking on getting back onto "Learning to Fly" to train for Zion.
At this stage of the game, get out and work on technique. Technique will get you the farthest at this point.
Excessive weight isn't good ince it will put extra stress on tendons. A healthy diet and working out, and just getting out climbing will do wonders with this.
Don't get injuried! Allow yourself to progress at a reasonable rate, allowing the tendons and ligaments to accomadate he new stresses. Don't climb hard everyday. Take rest days!
On top of the excers izes that rick recommended, work on both internal and external rotator cuff excersizes. Google Aimee Roseborrough and stonewear designs. She had a vide o of the excersizes on one of there Friday afternoon tips. She gives some advise about training for climbing from the perspective of a physical therapist who is also a 5.13 sports climber ( also a reasonable trad climber, Iknow this since she used to be my neighbor)
Thanks! I will give Roseborrough a look-see.

Difference between revisions of "Ischgl"
Revision as of 18:09, 28 February 2013
Ischgl [4] (1377m) is a small village (population: 1489 in 2001) in the Paznaun Valley in Tyrol Austria.
Get in
By plane: for most foreign visitors, an hour or so drive from Innsbruck airport, two from munich and three from Zurich.
By Car: Ischgl can be reached very easily from Innsbruck, the regional capital of the Austrian state of Tyrol. Follow the "S16" motorway route until you reach a junction near to "Pians" and exit the motorway in the direction of "Paznauntal - Ischgl" The drive is just over an hour and is very direct, making the most of Austria's incredibly efficient road network.
By Train: Ischgl itself has no railway station and neither do any other villages or towns in the entire valley. However, trains from Innsbruck travel as far as Landeck, roughly 2 miles/ 5 kilometres from the start of the valley Ischgl is located in, the "Paznauntal." Regular bus services operated by "OBB", Austria's main public transport operator, run from the station in Landeck (Landeck-Zams),via the central town, to the Paznauntal frequently, making for a relatively simple journey. Further details on the train and bus services can be found by using the following links: Bus Service Landeck- Ischgl Train Services Innsbruck-Landeck
Get around
Ski 220km of pistes, resort opens early.
Hotel Solaria, 4 star, is fun and homely with good food.

Hosting over 6 billion images, Flickr is one of the most popular places to share photos online. As well as showing off their latest snaps (around 3,000 images are uploaded every minute!), Flickr users can also connect with each other and join online communities.
Want to see your photo on ARKive?
ARKive's mission is to use the power of wildlife imagery to inspire the global community to discover, value and protect the natural world. That makes Flickr a vital social space for us to connect with the online community of wildlife photographers around the world.
Over 27,000 photos have been added to our Flickr group so far – thanks to everyone who has shared these with us! Did you know that if you add your photo to our Flickr group, it could appear on ARKive? For example, check out these otter photos! Just remember to machine tag your images. We can't wait to see your photos on ARKive!
We've delved into ARKive and found elements of Flickr in the natural world.
Simple circles
A pink and blue circle make up Flickr's familiar logo; perhaps these two ocean-dwellers were inspiration!
Jewel anemone Southern blue ringed octopus
We couldn't have a blog about Flickr without mentioning the northern flicker, a beautiful North American woodpecker. It is a widespread species and can be found in Vancouver, where Flickr was first founded by Caterina Fake and Stewart Butterfield.
This beautiful photo of a northern flicker was submitted to our ARKive Flickr group and is featured on the ARKive website.
Each photo on Flickr can be tagged with up to 75 keywords to help organise and search for images which have something in common.
Tagging is an important tool in conservation, enabling us to discover more about the behaviour and ecology of a species. For example, a marine turtle can be satellite tagged to track its migratory routes and feeding areas, as well as recording other useful information such as depth, dive profiles, swim speed and temperature.
Groups of photos on Flickr can be organised into sets, under the same heading. A single photo can belong to more than one set.
This little badger is busy adding material to its sett!
If you like to keep things neat and tidy, you'll be happy to hear that photos in a set can be combined into a collection, and collections can be fuurther organised into higher collections.
The American pika knows a thing or two about making collections. It spends the summer months gathering food and creating haypiles on rocks or in crevices, which it then feeds on during the winter. Cute!
Sharing is caring
Flickr makes it easy to share photos with everyone, acting as a central hub with the principle 'upload once, share everywhere'.
Female golden snub-nosed monkeys often share parental duties with other females in their group, even if they are unrelated. Other monkeys in the group will also protect any infants if they are threatened.
Remember, for a chance to see YOUR photos on ARKive, just submit your images to our Flickr group with the appropriate machine tags.

Journals and notebooks, fine papers and pens, inks and their ilks, a few other things, and the occasional rant
Tuesday, December 6, 2011
December Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper
To start off the Carnival, here's a great post on favorite pens by Nifty of Notebook Stories, founder of this monthly extravaganza.
Tom Lynch at Went Sketching has a fantastic post featuring one of my favorite pens, the Pilot Falcon. He's also got a review up of the new Noodler's Ahab flex fountain pen which is a must-read.
Economy Pens puts a Zebra in tulle, or something like that (sounds like something out of Fantasia, with ballpoints and gel inks dancing around a fountain of Noodler's Black Swan ink).
Multi Pen Dimentions has a great review of the Pilot Hi-Tec-C Coleto in metallic gray, there's something very Klaatu Barada Nikto about that pen.
While I don't watch Mad Men that often, whenever I read about the show I think of the guy who runs their supply room. Here's a great picture of Parker Jotters in a rainbow assortment.
Inkophile has a great review of Noodler's Blue Nose Bear, an ink I'm tempted to buy just for the name.
Over at Does This Pen Write is a great post comparing markers, Cra-Z-Art versus Crayola.
Goldspot Pens has a really nice post on alternatives to buying a Mont Blanc. I love that Laban pen, and I wanted to put this in the Carnival since every midway needs its sales stalls.
Plannerisms took a poll asking a seemingly simple question: white or cream? Paper that is, and the results were surprising.
Peninkcillin has two posts I want to highlight: a review of Waterman Havana Brown Ink, and this review of the Kaweco Sport Classic Fountain Pen.
Kim at Tiger Pens Blog reviews the Pentel Lancelot Ballpoint, one very attractive pen I might add.
Via Dave's Mechanical Pencils I cam across The Catalogue of American Mechanical Pencils by Jonathan A. Veley. This looks amazing, and you can purchase it as an ebook or on a CD, or the photo supplement alone.
777 Pen Repair has an interesting post on Noodler's ink, is it dangerous? There have been many posts on different forums about the corrosive qualities of certain inks on fountain pens, so take a look at Tyler's thoughtful writing.
Nancy Olson, Ink always has some amazing photos of pens, stationery, and more over at her place and this Lominchay Riviera Waves is no exception.
The Pen Addict hosts a guest post by Bryan on the Pilot Prera, definitely a fantastic little fountain pen.
Finally, Brian Goulet over at Ink Nouveau has a really great tutorial on Goulet Pens' swab shop, which in itself is one of the most valuable sites on the Internet. Hundreds of q-tips gave up their cotton so that we might see Diamine Twilight ink on white and ivory paper, so do head over and take a look.
Update: Looks like at least one submission didn't make it through to me (I've had that happen too), and it's a good one from Julie (Okami) at Whatever on the Franklin-Christoph Penvelope.
Update II: Steven H. submitted these great posts that also didn't get through to me, one on a custom-made desk organizer and the other on the fabulous new TWSBI ink bottles.
The next Carnival of Pen, Pencil & Paper will be on Tuesday, January 3, 2012 and is hosted by Goldspot Pens. You can submit posts here.

Always new wisdom at the Carnival. Brian Goulet (Goulet Pens) has among the lowest shipping costs I've found for the single-bottle ink buyer.ReplyDelete
I also want to scold three local NE Ohio libraries for turning down my suggestion that fellow Buckeye and avid mechanical pencil collector Jonathan Veley be sponsored by one of them for a talk about his enormous collection. Gee, have you never heard of circulation-building and popular interest? Gosh, do you think it says something that I first read of Mr. Veley's collection on a New Zealand Web site, and, later, a German Web site?
Hey Diane!ReplyDelete
What a great post. Lots of stiff to check out.
And I can't tell you how happy I am to be at the top of the list!
Tom, NYC
Thanks for the link. Great selection!ReplyDelete
It really is a carnival, thanks for the mention!ReplyDelete
Thanks for hosting this month, and for fixing that glitch.ReplyDelete
All are welcome, and that's interesting about Veley, Jack. He must have some collection!ReplyDelete
- AnonymousDecember 8, 2011 at 9:51 AM
Diane, I've only seen the Veley Collection on his site. That, plus Kiwi Dave and Lexikaliker's mentions, were good enough for me to try to get him a speaking and book-signing invitation.ReplyDelete
What's startling is, I think, mechanical pencils may be harder to collect than fountain pens. EBay results for fountain pens outnumber those for mechanical pencils by 5 to 1, e. g. Great Carnival, Diane!
Thank you for the info. It sounds pretty user friendly. I guess I'll pick one up for fun. thank u.ReplyDelete

Wonderful blog & good post.Its really helpful for me, awaiting for more new post. Keep Blogging!Leather Note JotterReplyDelete
I just love the carnival image with the Ferris wheel and balloons. I can't make out the artist's name on the bottom right corner. Do you know who it is?ReplyDelete

We're available 24/7 to discuss treatment options.
Throughout your melanoma treatment, you may experience symptoms or discomfort after eating, which may interfere with your ability to digest nutrients and fat-soluble vitamins.
Our naturopathic clinicians are available to work with you and your oncologists to suggest a variety of naturopathic therapies that may offer upper GI support, help to prevent and treat nausea, and reduce acid reflux, heartburn, bloating, gas and diarrhea.
Throughout your treatment, your naturopathic clinician will monitor your supplement and vitamin intake to help you avoid potential drug-herb and drug-nutrient interactions.
Naturopathic medicine is an approach to health care that uses natural, non-toxic therapies to treat the whole person and encourage the self-healing process. Naturopathic clinicians treat a variety of conditions, including digestive issues, sleep disturbances and chronic fatigue syndrome.
As part of the supportive therapy services we offer, our naturopathic oncology providers may suggest therapies to help support normal metabolism and digestion during cancer treatment and help manage side effects, such as nausea or fatigue.
As part of the intake process, you may choose to meet with a naturopathic oncology provider, who will review your history and make suggestions from a wide variety of natural therapies. Your naturopathic oncology provider also will review current supplements to identify potential herb-drug-nutrient interactions.
Other natural therapies our naturopathic medicine team may suggest include:
Our naturopathic oncology providers have extensive knowledge of the impacts of radiation therapy, chemotherapy and other cancer treatments, in addition to their expertise in the effects of natural therapies. As a part of your care team, they are in regular communication with your oncologists and other clinicians to help offer input on your treatment plan.
We personalize treatment plans to the individual based on each person's goals and experiences. Your care team is available to help you decide which naturopathic medicine therapies may help achieve your goals. You may have one or more of the above therapies during the course of your treatment.
Your naturopathic oncology provider may recommend nutritional supplements (e.g., vitamins, minerals, amino acids, enzymes) and botanical medicines (e.g., herbs) for therapeutic purposes.
For instance, you may experience discomfort during or after eating, or problems with digestion. Some supplements can help support your body's natural digestive process and minimize acid reflux, heart burn, bloating and gas.
Fatigue is also common. Supplements can be used to prevent and decrease fatigue from chemotherapy or the cancer itself. Supplements such as melatonin may help promote a healthy sleep pattern, which can help you feel more energetic during the day. Melatonin is also important for a healthy immune system.
Your naturopathic oncology provider may recommend ginger tea, ginger oil gel caps, candied ginger and other botanicals to help prevent or relieve nausea. In addition, your naturopathic oncology provider will work with your medical oncologist to determine if you would benefit from a pharmaceutical anti-nausea medication, such as Zofran.
If you are admitted into the hospital as an inpatient, the nursing staff will administer your supplements just like your other medications. Some nutritional, herbal and homeopathic supplements are available in both liquid and powder form if you have difficulty swallowing pills.
It is important to remember that vitamins, minerals, herbs and other therapies have strong effects on the body. Some supplements may interact with your medications or cancer treatments, or may be contraindicated for your cancer type. Your naturopathic oncology provider will work with you to ensure that the natural supplements you take are appropriate to your situation.
Throughout your care, your naturopathic oncology provider will monitor your supplement and vitamin intake to prevent potential drug-herb and drug-nutrient interactions. For instance, there may be supplements your naturopathic oncology provider will instruct you to avoid taking at certain times (e.g., during specific chemotherapy regimens).
The supplements and herbs available at our hospitals undergo a rigorous and extensive quality-assurance evaluation. Many of the supplements we recommend come from our own line of highly pure and potent vitamins, minerals and herbs. This line of supplements undergoes extensive testing to ensure they meet or exceed regulatory specifications for potency and lack of contamination.

As discussed in my previous post I prefer to use Windows authentication over SQL authentication on my SQL Servers. There are however two things that I would recommend controlling which is Active Directory Group membership and correct Active Directory design.
Let's say you have a tiered Active directory group structure comprising of three Global Security groups Development Team 1, Development Team 2 and Development Team 3. Development Team 1 whose members are your most senior, respected and trusted developers and as such have elevated permissions on some SQL Servers and restricted access to others which lesser groups (Development Team 2 and Development Team 3) do not.
The issues arise because you are not responsible for assigning group membership or the Active Directory design this is controlled by the IT Operations team. As a result there is nothing stopping a manager requesting membership in Development Team 1 for a developer who should not have this level of access. Now in this scenario the request for membership in the group was not made for access to certain SQL Servers or for elevated permissions on certain SQL Servers it was made for access let's say to a network resource.
The two points here are;
1 – Separate Windows and SQL Server permissions.
Take the Development Team tiered Active Directory structure, these groups make granting access to resources easier but and it's a big BUT can also be misused whether intentionally or unintentionally. What you should have here is two sets of tiered groups one for SQL Server and one for network resources this allows you to separate the permissions and prevent unnecessary access as in the above scenario, example groups below;
SQL – Development Team 1
SQL – Development Team 2
SQL – Development Team 3
Windows – Development Team 1
Windows – Development Team 2
Windows – Development Team 3
2 – Active Directory group membership visibility
I have had many scenarios over the years where I have required the need to obtain information from Active Directory as part of a routine and have used both CSVDE and LDAP, but there is a much easier method to view Active Directory group membership. Now I can't remember which site / blog I first saw this procedure on so I apologise. The procedure in question is xp_logininfo which returns information about Windows users and Windows groups.
One use for this would be to create a routine which runs every x hours or days and reports changes since the last run. This would give a more granular audit of who has access to your SQL Servers. I will look at creating such a routine when time allows and post here. In the meantime if anyone creates such a routine and would like to share it by all means get in touch and I will post it email@example.com.

8‑Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch
- Product Status: Live
Buy Now
The GO-SW-8G 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch is part of D-Link's new series of SOHO devices that make use of D-Link's Green Technology, providing energy savings, reduced heat, and a longer product life without sacrificing performance or functionality. It provides eight Gigabit ports for easy expansion of your network and a quick way to upgrade your network to Gigabit connectivity. An energy-efficient power adapter (Energy Star Level VI qualified), minimised the use of harmful substances (RoHS compliant), and recyclable packaging makes this switch truly environmentally friendly.
Fast and Reliable Networking
The D-Link GO-SW-8G 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch creates a blazing fast network for your office, as its Gigabit Ethernet ports provide high-speed wired connections for up to eight PCs or other devices. The GO-SW-8G also features QoS, which prioritises network traffic so that time-sensitive data is delivered efficiently, even during bursts of high data traffic. Finally, plug and play support makes setup a breeze.
Conserve Energy
The 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch helps you conserve energy automatically through several methods. The switch supports IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) which cuts down on power consumption during periods of low data activity and will proceed to put the unused port into sleep mode, saving a substantial amount of power. It also adjusts the amount of power supplied to a port according to the length of the connected Ethernet cable.
The 8-Port Gigabit Easy Desktop Switch was designed with the environment in mind and is compliant with Energy Star Level VI, as well as with the stringent CEC and MEPS regulations that require the use of energy efficient power adapters. The switch is also built to follow RoHS standards to minimise the use of hazardous materials and uses recyclable packaging that helps reduce waste, complying with the WEEE directive.

I went back to Ohio but my rights were gone
According to the Lima News, an Ohio man must try to prove he legally earned the life's savings police took from his house, even though the man has not been charged with a crime.
In June, Luther Ricks shot and killed a would-be robber who had broken into his house and stabbed his son. When police responded to the scene, they found (I bet you can guess) a small amount of marijuana that Ricks says he uses to manage arthritis pain. The FBI stepped in and confiscated the money from the police. Now, Ricks has to prove that he earned the confiscated $400,000 before the government will return it.
The article quotes Ohio's ACLU Legal Director Jeff Gamso, who said it will be difficult for Ricks to get his money back.
"The law of forfeiture basically says you have to prove you're innocent. It's terrible, terrible law," Gamso said. The law is tilted in favor of the FBI in that Ricks need not be charged with a crime and the FBI stands a good chance at keeping the money, Gamso said.
"The law will presume it is the result of ill-gotten gains," he said.
So, the heck with the "Fifth Amendent's No person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law." The burden of proof is on him.
In other news, let's stick with Ohio as we gear up for the election year. ACLU officials there are concerned that a change in Cuyahoga County's voting system could lead to many votes going uncounted. The story is here.
Ohio, as you know, was the scene of much voting strife in the 2004 presidential election, in which John Kerry conceded to President Bush after narrowly losing Ohio's 20 electoral votes. At the time, the ACLU had already filed suit, in Stewart v. Blackwell, arguing that the punch card voting system at issue here violates the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment.
