Melges 24 Gold Cup Fleet Readies For Charleston Battle
19 April 2012
Consistently one of the biggest and toughest regattas of the US Melges 24 year, 2012's edition of Charleston Race Week should see an epic battle across the fleet for supremacy in the "Sailing Capital of the South." The city has been a past venue for several Melges 24 Gold Cups and National Championships, and it's never failed to deliver intense action and brutal competition.
2011 saw Kristin Lane on Brick House become the first female skipper to win a major M24 regatta in a decade, and she's back with the same strong team of Willem Van Waay, Charlie McKee, Jonny Goldsberry, and Matt Pistay. Kristin is always fast and never backs down, though she'll have to sail through the red-hot Bora Gulari on West Marine Rigging/New England Ropes if she is to have a chance to succeed. Gulari is back with his 2010 CRW champion trimmer John Casey, and he's added Jeremy Wilmot, Brad Funk, and Meredith Nordham to round out an all-star team. Gulari scorched the fleet in Key West with nearly straight bullets and added a US National Championship to his resume just last year. Alan Field is back for another year with his Los Angeles based WTF, though he's lost trimmer Jeff Reynolds to an injury on the Caribbean circuit and tactician Steve Hunt to a scheduling conflict. Field, who grabbed second place in Charleston last year, managed to grab someone off the dock though to fill in for Hunt; Multiple Melges 24 World Champ tactician Jonathan McKee. "We're mixing it up a little, and hoping for a good result," said forward hand Erik Shampain.
The battle to be in the top 5 is setting up to be a knock-down brawl with some new faces and old rivalries. Bruce Ayres is always in contention for the podium, and the combination of Bruce's speed and past world champ Brian Hutchinson's smarts, Monsoon should be a contender. Argyle Campbell has been beating the best for a decade, and nothing less should be expected. Chicago Match Race founder Don Wilson's Convexity is due for a good result in Charleston, while the Class is excited to welcome past US Melges Class President Scott Gregory back to the family! Gregory's Free Bettycould be a real spoiler, with former Charleston top dog Steve Kopf at the helm. Cary Siegler's Rock Steady is also capable of great results, and is another team with tons of local knowledge and college racing talent. Siegler put some insurance aboard in the form of Charleston fixture, fisherman, and sailing coach Michael Miller, who leads the annual "Tides & Currents" seminar for Charleston Race Week.
Another skipper in the hunt for a potential top ten is Richard Thompson's Black Seal, back in the fray after a hiatus. The Britain-based skipper returns to US shores with sailmaker and class vet Nigel Young and class favorite Krista Paxton from the Detroit fleet. A contender from that same Detroit fleet is Paul Hulsey with Hoodlum Racing, while the NorwegianParty Girl and Augie Hernandez' High Voltage should be right in the thick of it.
Predictions aside, only one thing is certain about a Melges 24 Gold Cup in Charleston: Anything can, and probably will happen. Daily reports and photos will be available beginning the evening of April 20 at www.usmelges24.com.

Speakers explore strategies for expanding college access in Nebraska.For Sadid Carrillo, a University of Nebraska-Lincoln student from Schuyler, the path to college was not easy.
Some of Sadid's high school peers seemed to be headed down the wrong path. He decided to separate himself from them and focus on his studies, and he went on to graduate ninth in his class.
The price of tuition, books and housing may at first have seemed out of reach for Sadid's parents, both of whom work to support Sadid and his four younger siblings. But Sadid qualified for a significant amount of financial aid – including Collegebound Nebraska, which guarantees he will pay no tuition at the university – a federal Pell Grant, and other need-based aid.
In his first semester at UNL, Sadid struggled so much in chemistry that he considered dropping out. But thanks to encouragement from UNL's financial aid director, Sadid instead changed his major to an area better suited to him – finance.
Sadid recently finished his sophomore year after spending a semester in Italy. He carries a 3.9 grade point average and less than $1,000 in college loans.
He now dreams of working as a loan officer at a bank – so he can help others realize their dreams as he is realizing his.
Sadid's story puts a compelling human dimension on Nebraska's goals for creating a culture of college access and increasing educational attainment in the state, according to University of Nebraska President James B. Milliken.
"Every college and university in Nebraska needs more students like Sadid – and it is our responsibility and our opportunity to make it possible for them to enjoy the benefits of higher education, and for our state to enjoy the benefits of a well-educated, highly talented workforce," Milliken said during a keynote address at today's College Access Summit, hosted by EducationQuest Foundation and the Nebraska P-16 Initiative. The P-16 Initiative is chaired by Gov. Dave Heineman, and Milliken is a co-chair.
The summit brought together leaders from Nebraska's education, business and government sectors to explore strategies for expanding access to higher education and building a more educated workforce in the state.
"Every single student in our state deserves a quality education," the Governor said.
Collaboration between the public and private sectors will be critical to achieve success, Milliken said, and it's important to engage other allies as well who can make a difference in students' lives – teachers, parents, counselors, peers, policymakers, employers, clergy, faculty and others.
"Our message to them and to students must be consistent – that a college education is an essential component for success in a 21st-century knowledge-based economy," Milliken said. "The Lumina Foundation has been a huge help in this regard."
Lumina Foundation President and CEO Jamie Merisotis also spoke at the summit.
Merisotis noted that under the Governor's leadership, support for higher education in Nebraska is strong. About 40.5 percent of adults in Nebraska hold at least an associate's degree, slightly higher than the national average of 38 percent.
But Nebraska can't become complacent, Merisotis warned.
"There's still plenty of room for improvement," he said. "In fact, despite this relative positioning, the simple fact is that improvement – significant improvement – is an absolute necessity if the state hopes to thrive."
recent Georgetown University study which found that Nebraska ranks seventh in the nation in the percentage of jobs in 2018 that will require education beyond high school.
Even though resources are increasingly limited, Nebraska must produce more college graduates if it hopes to be economically competitive, Merisotis said. (Merisotis' full remarks are available here.)
The Lumina Foundation's "Big Goal" is for 60 percent of Americans to have high-quality degrees or credentials by 2025. This parallels President Obama's goal for America to regain the leadership position in the world in college attainment by 2020. The U.S. currently ranks 12th.
Nebraska P-16 goals include increasing the high school graduation rate to 90 percent, increasing the college-going rate to the top 10 nationally, providing affordable access to higher education, and improving time-to-degree completion at Nebraska's postsecondary institutions.
The University of Nebraska is actively involved in achieving these goals, through initiatives such as:
- Collegebound Nebraska, which allows qualified Nebraska students like Sadid to attend any of NU's four campuses and pay no tuition.
- A number of privately funded financial aid programs, such as those offered through the Susan T. Buffett Foundation. In 2009-10, more than 11,200 scholarships were awarded to NU students from funds gifted to the University of Nebraska Foundation. Student support is the highest priority of the ongoing Campaign for Nebraska.
- Online Worldwide, which provides a high-quality NU education to students all over the world. Online Worldwide is especially targeted to the 265,000 Nebraskans who have completed some college but do not have a degree. Distance education in general will be an important strategy in expanding access to education for place-bound, non-traditional and other students, Milliken said.
- The College Preparatory Academy and KearneyBound! programs in Grand Island, Omaha, North Platte, Lexington and Kearney, which target promising low-income, first-generation high school students. The first wave of graduates of the programs just completed their freshmen years at UNL and the University of Nebraska at Kearney, where they have access to additional mentoring and support services to help them succeed.
- OnCourse, which eases the transition from community college to a four-year degree program. Through OnCourse, students at Nebraska community colleges who take certain core courses and maintain a 2.5 grade point average are guaranteed admission to NU.
- Renewed efforts to make a four-year degree at NU more attainable.

Donor Needed for Baby

Original Title:
Bone Marrow Drive Seeks Match for Baby Trevor
A Cameron Park baby is undergoing a fifth round of chemotherapy in his fight to beat a deadly disease. Trevor Kott's family hopes one of numerous bone marrow drives will find the one match to save him.
The first of three weeks of scheduled bone marrow drives was Wednesday. Sacramento firefighters sponsored the drive.
Lauri Bera, whose husband was a Sacramento firefighter, organized the drive. "I lost my husband in August of '05 to cancer. Matt Bera was a fireman here for the city and you just want to do whatever you can."
Liz Usick with Bloodsource said 550 people signed up for the registry during today's drive.
"I see our heroes stepping up again," said Trevor's mother, Angela Kott.
Trevor has been battling congenital acute myeloid leukemia or AML since his birth last October. The disease is rare and affects blood cells in the bone marrow. Doctors say the baby needs a bone marrow transplant to survive.
"I'm just waiting for that call from Stanford to say that we've got a match and I'm hoping we're one step closer by each individual coming in and getting swabbed," said Kott.
In the past few weeks more than 1,000 people have registered with BloodSource to determine if their blood and marrow would match Trevor's, but so far, a match hasn't been found. Over the next three weeks, BloodSource and Delta Blood Bank are holding several bone marrow drives to try to change that.
The bone marrow test costs $52 and is tax deductible. The fee goes to the National Marrow Donor Program. The program maintains a registry of bone marrow donors which doctors use to find possible donors for other patients.
On April 25, 2007, Trevor Kott lost his fight with leukemia. A matching bone marrow donor was not found.
Over 5,000 people registered with different blood banks all over the country because of the media coverage on this story. Trevor's family say that is Trevor's legacy and hope that someone else may be saved.

Maine Martime jumped out to a 20-0 lead as backup quarterback freshman Ben Violette scored on a one-yard run and Bowers scored on a 30-yard run for a 14-0 first quarter lead. Rende threw a 9-yard touchdown pass to freshman Spencer Bowring for a 20-0 lead with 13:51 to go in the first half.
Hames scored on a 20-yard run with 10:22 left before Maine scored on its fourth straight possession, a 2-yard run by Bower for a 26-7 lead with 4:49 left to close the scoring in the first half.
Hames had a 64-yard touchdown run on the Bears first possession of the second half to make the score 26-14, but Bower added a pair of 1-yard runs in the third quarter to make the scoore 42-14 heading into the final frame.
The fourth quarter featured 54 points, 33 points by Coast Guard.
Sophomore Pat Meggers scored on a 1-yard run for Coast Guard before Bourassa had a 2-yard run for the Mariners.

This is a motto traditionally associated with the titular heroes of the novel, "The Three Musketeers", written by Alexandre Dumas, first published in 1844.
I used this as an inspiration to make my musketeer costumes to attend the SAVE DADE 21 HALLOWEEN BALL that supports LGTC in Miami. I didn't want to use the regular colors that most people are used to seeing, so I went out of the box or the closet (lol) and picked Green, Purple and Pink. It was a sewing intense labor to complete in a month. I had to make the hats, shirts, tabards and shoe covers. I also had to design all of the golden appliques on the tabards and I mastered how to sew a bias tape. I used a lot of them to finish all the edges of the three costumes.
Ufff…I was sewing until the last minutes, but it was a rewarding experience. We were the show stoppers of the night.

Cisco Nexus 7000 Series NX-OS Troubleshooting Guide -- Troubleshooting Routing
From DocWiki
This article describes troubleshooting procedures for routing.
Information about Troubleshooting Routing Issues
Layer 3 routing involves determining optimal routing paths and packet switching. You can use routing algorithms to calculate the optimal path from the router to a destination. This calculation depends on the algorithm selected, route metrics, and other considerations such as load balancing and alternate path discovery.
Cisco NX-OS uses the virtual device contexts (VDCs) to provide separate management domains per VDC and software fault isolation. Each VDC supports multiple Virtual Routing and Forwarding Instances (VRFs) and multiple routing information bases (RIBs) to support multiple address domains. Each VRF is associated with a routing information base (RIB) and this information is collected by the Forwarding Information Base (FIB).
See the Cisco NX-OS Unicast Routing Configuration Guide and the Cisco NX-OS Multicast Routing Configuration Guide for more information on routing.
Initial Troubleshooting Checklist
Begin troubleshooting routing issues by checking the following issues first:
|Check off
Verify that the routing protocol is enabled.
Verify that the address family is configured if necessary.
Verify that you have configured the correct VRF for your routing protocol.
Use the following commands to display routing information:
- show ip arp
- show ip traffic
- show tcp statistics udp4
- show ip client
- show tcp client
- show ip fib
- show ip process
- show ip route
- show pktmgr interface
- show frame traffic
- show platform fib
- show platform forwarding
- show platform ip
- show vrf
- show vrf interface
Troubleshooting Routing
To troubleshoot basic routing issues, follow these steps:
1. Verify that the routing protocol is enabled.
switch(config)# show ospf ^ % invalid command detected at '^' marker.
- If the feature is not enabled, Cisco NX-OS reports that the command is invalid. Use the feature command to enable the routing protocol.
2. Verify the configuration for this routing protocol.
switch# show running-config eigrp all version 4.0(1) feature eigrp router eigrp 99 log-neighbor-warnings log-neighbor-changes log-adjacency-changes graceful-restart nsf timers nsf signal 20 distance 90 170 metric weights 0 1 0 1 0 0 metric maximum-hops 100 default-metric 100000 100 255 1 1500 maximum-paths 16 address-family ipv4 unicast log-neighbor-warnings log-neighbor-changes log-adjacency-changes graceful-restart router-id 192.0.2.1 nsf timers nsf signal 20 distance 90 170 metric weights 0 1 0 1 0 0 metric maximum-hops 100 default-metric 100000 100 255 1 1500 maximum-paths 16
3. Verify the VRF configuration for this routing protocol.
switch# show running-config eigrp version 4.0(1) feature eigrp router eigrp 99 address-family ipv4 unicast router-id 192.0.2.1 vrf red stub
4. Check the memory utilization for this routing protocol.
switch# show processes memory | include isis 8913 9293824 bffff1d0/bffff0d0 isis 32243 8609792 bfffe0c0/bfffdfc0 isis
5. Verify that the routing protocol is receiving packets.
switch# show ip client pim Client: pim, uuid: 284, pid: 3839, extended pid: 3839 Protocol: 103, client-index: 10, routing VRF id: 255 Data MTS-SAP: 1519 Data messages, send successful: 2135, failed: 0
6. Verify that the routing protocol is enabled on an interface.
switch# show ip interface loopback0 loopback0, Interface status: protocol-up/link-up/admin-up, iod: 36, Context:"default" IP address: 188.8.131.52, IP subnet: 220.127.116.11/24 ... IP multicast groups locally joined: 22.214.171.124 188.8.131.52 126.96.36.199 ...
7. Verify that the interface is in the correct VRF.
switch(config)# show vrf interface loopback 99 Interface VRF-Name VRF-ID loopback99 default 1
8. Verify that the routing protocol is registered with the RIB.
switch(config)# show routing unicast clients CLIENT: am index mask: 0x00000002 epid: 3908 MTS SAP: 252 MRU cache hits/misses: 2/1 Routing Instances: VRF: management table: base Messages received: Register : 1 Add-route : 2 Delete-route : 1 Messages sent: Add-route-ack : 2 Delete-route-ack : 1 CLIENT: rpm index mask: 0x00000004 epid: 4132 MTS SAP: 348 MRU cache hits/misses: 0/0 Messages received: Register : 1 Messages sent: ...

Whether you know it or not, you may already be familiar with Young & Sick.
Perhaps you've seen the album art for Maroon 5's "Overexposed" or Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines." Maybe you've strolled alongside Foster the People's 125-foot-by-150-foot mural off Los Angeles Street that also was used as the cover for the band's latest record "Supermodel."
All of these are the work of Dutch-born Nick Van Hofwegen. Although his creations have been more identified through his visual art, his Young & Sick project also includes a musical component.
In April, Young & Sick released a self-titled debut through Harvest Records. It's a jaunty 10-track collection, led by Hofwegen's falsetto with a comfortable pace atop an R&B swing and upbeat synths.
"I never really considered being a singer. I was always the guy in the back playing guitar," Van Hofwegen said between bites of an oversized cookie at a Koreatown coffee shop. "I didn't consider that either would ever take off. When the art started to get bigger, I started considering that the music might follow."
Growing up in "the middle of nowhere" in the Netherlands, Van Hofwegen began experimenting with art and music. Starting off playing in punk bands, Van Hofwegen eventually began making free album art for a variety of indie acts as he relocated to Los Angeles. One happened to be for a teenager named Mark Foster.
"He was this broke 18-year-old at the time, working at a coffee shop here in L.A. and trying to make it, trying to be something," said Van Hofwegen of the future leader of the chart-topping Foster the People. "He told me that he would somehow find a way to help me and pay me back for all the art that I did."
Foster was true to his word. In 2010, Foster's breakthrough single, "Pumped Up Kicks," rapidly surged through airwaves across the country, hooking listeners with its wavy atmosphere, easing bass line and rebellious undertone.
As the song took off, Foster again contacted Van Hofwegen about creating artwork. This led to designing the cover for Foster the People's debut album, "Torches," which peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard rock chart. It was a shift for Van Hofwegen, who hadn't experienced as much direct acknowledgment for his talents.
"I just moved to L.A. and [was] driving in a car on Sunset one day. I saw this massive billboard and knew that something was up," said Van Hofwegen on seeing his "Torches" art. "That was definitely the first big sign that something was going to change."
While he began to be more heavily pursued for his designing abilities, Van Hofwegen continued to value anonymity in his music. He took the unconventional route in introducing his work, as he uploaded the song "Continuum" to an anonymous and untraceable corner of the Internet called the Tor underweb in 2013. The song ended up on the music-streaming site SoundCloud within a few days, and the project began to receive press.
"It was a fun experiment," said Van Hofwegen. "We're always going to try to find out some weird stuff to do. That's what keeps it fun."
Although it's an easygoing listen, Young & Sick is straightforward in acknowledging the lows that plague Van Hofwegen's relationships, often exploring solitude.
This can be heard in songs like "Counting Raindrops," which Van Hofwegen wrote after he spent the night sleeping in Paris' Charles de Gaulle Airport, and in "Heartache Fetish," which features the gripping line "You're not in the room / But you got me in a headlock".
But isolation is becoming less of an issue for Young & Sick. Van Hofwegen and his accompanists have embarked on small tours since the release of the album, and have opened for Van Hofwegen's old clients, Foster the People. The band also played at the Coachella festival this year, and found a way to underscore its unorthodox nature at Texas' South by Southwest festival, where it played a show exclusively for sick dogs from a no-kill shelter in Austin.
"The dogs were really kind of calm and sit down and look straight at you the whole time," Van Hofwegen says of the experience. "That was really cool."
Although transitioning from behind the scenes to the stage has been a different twist for Van Hofwegen, he appreciates being able to showcase his project in concert (the group plays the Echo on Wednesday). It's another component of his steadily growing project, one that Van Hofwegen believes is just beginning.
"It's never just going to be art and music," he said. "It's always going to be growing. We're completely limitless."

Determine if Growing a Mustache is Right for You
All the recent talk on-air about great mustaches, might have some of you that don't have a mustache, like me, feeling a little down. But just remember, if you want something bad enough, you'll get it. Set your mind to it and grow the sweetest stache ever.
I found a great guide online, hosted by Kenny Maine. Check it out.

It's unfortunate that I cannot include "being photogenic" in my list of resume hobbies and interests. I should however start including "beach volleyball enthusiast" in this section as I understand such a skill set exponentially increases your chance of being offered an interview (and at workplaces other than American Apparel) by approximately 94 percent.
I specialise in The Awkward Profile Shot (a difficult sight with my twice broken nose) and like the mix it up with a wide-open jaw laugh and squint combo. My school photo album runs a little like a flick book of Geek Chic maxi frames accosting a human face. My most recent effort, a professional head shot, turned out to reveal more about the spaced out side effects of my hay fever medication than in did my avid pursuit of professional success.
I can't blame that wayward fringe or my eye sight impediment for failing to
correctly identify the location of the camera on tripod.
This disappoints me because the smell steaming up from a plate of Chu Chi Salmon renders me ravenous. The sound of Poo Nim Thai Herb breaking it's soft-shell in your mouth makes me want to discard the rules of human consumption decency and munch from two hands. But on film, why salmon do you look so oily (toner and primer please!)? Puddles on Film?
|Rosa's Poo Nim Thai Herb
|Gai Satay, Thai Calamari and Poo Nim Thai Herb at Rosa's Soho.
I have two favourite Thai restaurants in London and I'm a flippant flirt between the two as my fancy or location sways. Rosa's (Spitalfields (12 Hanbury Street, London, E16QR) and Soho (48 Dean Street, London, W1D5BF)) is my top London Thai pick. It's no Longrain, but I realise after 5 years living outside Australia, I need to let go of Executive Chef Martin Boetz's Thai and Southern Chinese influenced menu as my holy standard of Asian city dining. I'm going to take a moment though to remember the caramelised pork hock with five spice and chili vinegar…good times, good times.
|Pad Thai noodles with chicken, mysingledish.com.
|Chu Chi Salmon...air brushing doesn't even help her.
|Beef Pad Prig Daeng, not even trying to work the camera.
|OK, OK...it seems Australian light works slightly better for my photographic relationship with Thai food.
Pearl, Melbourne, Thai style crispy prawn salad.
I'm also told trekking a little further from chez moi may prove interesting. Suhko Thai in Fulham is, my sources tell me, a serious threat...to London Thai supremacy, not health. Perhaps I can develop some sort of Hefner style time share arrangement between the three? It's a telling concept that food consumption for me is analogous to a debauched sexual calendar of an ageing porn magnate. I'm not quite clear what it says, but I'm sure those waiters at Cheating Chimp are questioning my convivial smiles and satisfied murmurs. Suhko Thai, I've scheduled you for Tuesday. Your place, not mine. Let's just leave the cameras at home…oh no, not that angle…delete it, delete it!!!

- ATP World Tour Finals
Djokovic roars back to defeat Murray in London
Andy Murray faces a battle to qualify for the semi-finals of the ATP World Tour Finals in London after he was beaten in a thrilling three-setter by world No. 1 Novak Djokovic.
Murray played some scintillating tennis to snatch the opening set, but was unable to sustain his challenge as Djokovic bounced back to claim a 4-6 6-3 7-5 victory at the O2 Arena.
After winning the toss, Murray opted to receive first and it paid dividends as he stunned the top seed to take an early lead.
Enjoying the best of the early exchanges, Murray chased down a drop shot and slammed a forehand past Djokovic for an early break, before cruising to a love service game for a 2-0 lead.
That early breakthrough proved decisive as Djokovic struggled to find a way back into the set - Murray virtually impenetrable as he dropped just three points on serve to wrap up the opening stanza in style.
But with the second set firmly in the balance, the momentum swung in Djokovic's favour when Murray's decision to serve-volley on break point failed to pay off; the Serb breaking for a 4-2 lead before clinching the second set.
As the errors began to creep into Murray's game Djokovic took full advantage, and when the Scot sent a backhand long on break point, the top seed looked to be on course for victory.
But Murray refused to lie down, and after fending off break points in his next two service games, two crucial HawkEye challenges saw him roar back into contention.
His first challenge - questioning the validity of a Djokovic ace, saw him win the ensuing rally for two break points, and the second showed Djokovic to have hit his return wide as the Scot found himself back on level terms.
With the match on a knife edge, it looked like the contest would be decided on a tiebreak, but Djokovic's superb backhand return saw him break for a third time, and despite Murray's best efforts, the Serb hung on for victory.
Murray will face Jo-Wilfried Tsonga on Friday, with Group A still wide open after the Frenchman was beaten 7-5 3-6 6-1 by Tomas Berdych.
Tsonga, who reached the final last year, recovered from dropping the opening set, but was outplayed in the decider as Berdych kept his hopes of reaching the last four alive.
The Czech will face Djokovic on Friday - with all four players still in with a chance of progression.
Even victory for Berdych may not be enough for the Czech - dependent on Murray's result against Tsonga, who still has a slim chance of reaching the last four.

Ráhel Orbán's wedding was held last September in Tükröspuszta where two iPhones were stolen. Police launched an investigation in the case in November.
One employee commented on the incident in a blog by saying that he didn't understand why police wanted DNA samples taken from him. According to the employee, the phone may cost only 150 thousand forints, but the investigation already cost millions. The person also remarked how come when simple citizen's phones are stolen police don't investigate the cases.
Earlier, Hír24 reported that one of the stolen cell phones belonged to Ráhel Orban's girlfriend; the cell phone stored pictures made during Ráhel Orbán's hen party.
(hvg.hu – hungarianambiance.com)
(Note: It is unfortunate that not even the nationalists immune to media influences when it comes to believing atrocious lies like for instance, appearances equal reality; this is what both the liberal and the nationalist media hammer 24-hours a day – and in this sense most of the nationalist media are also guilty of deceiving the public by helping to create a mass of people with very poor strategic thinking that regularly confuse political theatre with reality. The majority of the dumbed down population in both sides of the political divide believe that police investigating the phone incident because the prime minister suffered financial loss. Does this make sense to you? Those who claim this can't imagine that the phones perhaps were stolen by agents of unfriendly powers who infiltrated into the prime minister's inner circle to obtain compromising information about the prime minister in order to use that information against him at some later time; for instance, in the next election campaign. I'm not claiming this is the case, but I wouldn't be surprised if the investigation found that indeed this was the case. Even if no compromising information stored on the phones the fact that agents managed to infiltrate into the prime minister's inner circle is a reason for grave concern and fully justifies police efforts to find the perpetrators.)

The day's light was fading when the SWAT officers decided they could wait no longer for Christopher Dorner to surrender.
Dorner, the fired Los Angeles cop suspected of killing four people in a campaign of revenge, had been holed up in a cabin near Big Bear Lake for hours, trading gunfire with San Bernardino County sheriff's deputies. Repeated calls over a loudspeaker for him to surrender went ignored. Attempts to flush him out with tear gas led nowhere.
Wanting to end the standoff before nightfall, members of the sheriff's SWAT unit enacted a plan they had devised for a final assault on the cabin, according to law enforcement sources. An officer drove a demolition vehicle up to the building and methodically tore down most of its walls, the sources said.
PHOTOS: Manhunt for ex-LAPD officer
With the cabin's interior exposed, the officer got on the radio to others awaiting his order. "We're going to go forward with the plan, with the burner," the unidentified officer said, according to a recording of police radio transmissions reviewed by The Times.

Whether you're a beer snob, a Chargers fan or you root for one of those other NFL teams, TapRoom has everything for game day. There's little excuse for not joining other locals at the neighborhood pub as the Chargers take on the Tennessee Titans on Sept. 16 at 1:25 p.m. and the Atlanta Falcons on Sept. 23 at 1:05 p.m.
"We get a Chargers crowd that creates a really exciting and fun atmosphere to watch the games," said owner Kevin Conover. "We are San Diego-based — born and raised — and we naturally draw a local crowd that makes you feel right at home."
On game day, you can find area Chargers fans gathered at the local watering hole cheering on their favorite team and exploring the bar's expansive list of draft and bottled beer, which includes local, national and international craft-brew favorites, sprinkled here and there with the occasional mass-produced staple.
"[They're] mostly local, with some rarities like Pliny the Elder and one-off collaborations," Conover said. "The San Diego IPA is, for sure, our most popular style. Beers like Sculpin, AleSmith IPA and Port Mongo have the highest demand, but our Belgians are also gaining in popularity, thanks to beers like Lil Devil and Horny Devil, which have turned people onto this style of beer."
For guests who can't decide between a sour or a stout, TapRoom also offers beer flights, allowing guests to sample six-ounce tasters of up to six different beers, starting at just $2.50 per sample.
To supplement the host of combinations of refreshing liquid, you'll also score with TapRoom's mouth-watering menu items, like the bite-size pizza-influenced beer soakers or a spoonful of the restaurant-bar's signature Sculpin IPA chili.
TapRoom also offers full breakfasts on Saturdays and Sundays, alongside drink specials that include mimosas and bloody Mary's made by San Diego's very own Ballast Point Brewery, for those who want to get a jump start on their football Sunday.
"The game day ambiance is high energy to say the least — everyone wearing their jerseys, cheering for their teams, having a great time," said Conover. "It can be a little loud, so be warned."
TapRoom welcomes fans of all teams and has the sports package subscriptions to support them. TapRoom also cheers on the New York Giants and promotes such collegiate programs as Washington State, Clemson, Indiana University and San Diego State University.
TapRoom is located at 1269 Garnet Ave. For more information, to call in an order, or to ask about a specific game being televised, call (858) 274-1010 or visit www.sdtaproom.com.

Recruited by: Brian White
Notable: Early enrollee who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.5 seconds. Bench presses 335 and squats 475. Participated in the Under Armour All-American Game. Will continuing wearing the same number (21) at UF as his father, former Florida Gators and NFL running back Fred Taylor, who rushed for more 11,000 yards during his 13-year NFL career. Kelvin's uncle, Jerry Campbell, quarterbacked Glades Day to a state championship in 1998. Rushed for 2,423 yards and 41 touchdowns as a senior. Played on the varsity team as an eight grader. In five seasons, he rushed for 12,121 yards and a state-record 191 touchdowns. The total is second nationally by a high school player, just three yards behind Yulee (Fla.) High's Derrick Henry, who's headed to Alabama. However, the National Federation of State High School Associations only recognizes feats accomplished from grades 9-12, so Kelvin officially ranked sixth nationally in career rushing yards with 10,537.

I've been giving some thought to making a hardware-free ultralight hammock. I guess my thought is to keep it as light as possible and to avoid using clips, rings, carabiners and hooks. I also want to use amsteel through the channel of the hammock and to avoid having to tie unnecessary knots or carry extra cord (I've seen some guys use more weight in rope than others use on carabiners).
I envision using webbing around the tree, whoopies through the webbing loop and some sort of soft shackle to attach the whoopie to the hammock.
Anybody done this or have a recommendation on the hammock to whoopie attachment?

Myanmar – EU Taskforce : Agricultural aspects
Myanmar – EU Taskforce: EU to support Myanmar sustainable development
Myanmar/Burma is emerging from decades of authoritarian rules and ethnic conflict. Since 2011, the new Government engaged in an ambitious reform agenda, which is supported by the EU. The Myanmar-EU Taskforce is being held in Myanmar on 13-15 November 2013, as announced in March 2013 by President Barroso, President Van Rompuy and Myanmar President U Thein Sein. It is aimed at setting a new level of ambition as to the future of our bilateral relations and the role of the EU in supporting a peaceful transition and helping economic development, for example in the agricultural sector. This task force is being chaired by the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Catherine Ashton, with the participation of Commissioners Dacian Cioloş (Agriculture & Rural Development), Antonion Tajani (Enterprise) and Andris Piebalgs (Development) and a number of MEPs.
Agriculture at the heart of Myanmar development
Agriculture is at the heart of Myanmar's economy (employing more than 70% of the population) and flagged as a top priority in the national development road map. Significant steps have been made in recent years to improve the legal environment and to boost agricultural productivity, making sure that the farming sector has an important contribution both to the economic transition and to the democratic process. However, developing agriculture is not a path without challenges, because of the strategic role of farming in providing food security, growth and jobs in rural areas, but also because it involves a wide range of actors and issues such as land rights, still very sensitive in Myanmar. This is why Commissioner Cioloş found it very important to participate in this Myanmar-EU task force.
Important to establish a strong rural development policy, says Commissioner Cioloș
Speaking ahead of the Taskforce, Commissioner Cioloş underlined the EU's readiness to share experiences in agricultural policy-building, in establishing stable supply chains with a fair return for farmers, and policy tools to help farmers move beyond subsistence farming – and its savoir-faire in turning the diversity of agricultural models into strength. This will be done mainly through the coming multi-annual Indicative Programme (2014-2020) in which rural development and food security have been flagged as one of the focal sectors. Commission experts from the departments for Agriculture and for Development Aid will work together with Myanmar officials in elaborating and implementing EU-funded actions which are best suited to Myanmar's agricultural needs.

SOUTH HADLEY, Mass. (Feb. 18, 2011) – Ten-time reigning champion Springfield College has taken the early lead after one day of competition at the 2011 NEWMAC Swimming and Diving Championship. The Pride collected two victories on their way to 276.5 points. They hold a slight advantage over MIT (273.5), which also earned a pair of wins. A total of 10 squads are taking part in the event at the Mount Holyoke College Natatorium. The opening day featured three Championship records.
MIT's Christy Rogers set a new school record with her leadoff 100 yard back in the 400 yard medley relay, which Tech won convincingly to close out the day. The quartet of Rogers, Morganne Klein, Ana Kokensparger and Elina Hu joined forces to post a NEWMAC Championship record time of 3:52.60. They also provisionally qualified for the NCAA Championship in the event.
Springfield got things going with a first place finish in the 200-yard freestyle relay. The foursome of Kellie Pennington, Jaclyn Van Waalwijk, Caroline Kosciusko and Kaitlin Reilly joined forces to post a NEWMAC Championship record time of 1:35.10. They finished more than a second ahead of MIT's tandem of Rogers, Rossick, Hu and Nicole Wang, who grabbed second place with a time of 1:36.76. Both squads provisionally qualified for the NCAA Division III National Championships.
Coast Guard's Kimberly Shadwick repeated as champion in the 500-yard freestyle with her time of 5:00.71. She was followed by Wellesley's Keelin Nave, who touched the wall in 5:04.88. Both swimmers met the NCAA "B" standard with their times.
The top performance of the day came from Pennington in the 50-yard freestyle. After shattering the NEWMAC Open and Championship records with her time of 23.18 in the preliminaries, she clocked a 23.60 in the finals to clinch her second victory of the night. The rookie also met the NCAA "A" standard with her showing in the preliminaries. Wheaton's Dania Piscetta hit the NCAA "B" cut with her second place time of 24.07.
Saturday's first session will begin at 11:00 a.m. with the preliminaries of the 200-yard medley relay, the 400-yard individual medley, the 100-yard butterfly, the 200-yard freestyle, the 100-yard breaststroke and the 100-yard backstroke. The trials of the three meter diving event will begin at 1:30 p.m., while finals for the day's events will begin at 6:30 p.m.

Recently, Wolff Olins, one of the world's leading brand consultancies (and the agency behind the infamous 2012 London Olympics logo) announced details about their involvement in the concept, strategy, craft and launch of the new beauty brand, Living Proof.
Below you will find the packaging and identity for the new brand along with the Living Proof press release. What do you think? Personally, I love the Frizz logo… visual communication at it's best.
Living Proof Press Release
Living Proof was founded in 2004 by Polaris Venture Partners co-founder Jon Flint on the premise that there have been few true innovations in beauty. He teamed up with fellow Polaris partner, Amir Nashat, MIT scientists Dr. Bob Langer and Dr. Dan Anderson as well as renowned stylists Ward Stegerhoek and Mitch DeRosa to find altogether new solutions to every day beauty frustrations. Today, the company is comprised of leading scientists and beauty veterans and is led by President and CEO Rob Robillard, formerly Worldwide General Manager of Kiehl's Since 1951and Senior Vice President of Marketing of L'Oreal Paris.
After one year of dedicated research, the team of scientists discovered the PolyfluoroEster molecule, the first new anti-frizz technology in over 30 years. The new molecule is smaller than traditional frizz-fighting ingredients and instantly fills in gaps and blocks each strand's cuticle, preventing moisture from penetrating the hair shaft. With frizz solved, Living Proof is working on a number of other solutions to common beauty frustrations. Stay tuned.
Throughout the evolution and conception of No Frizz, Wolff Olins worked closely to shape the brand's development, working on everything from the brand strategy and name, product naming, service approach, identity, packaging, point-of-sale and communications. The branding firm touched nearly every part of the experience.
"Our involvement with Living Proof is a perfect example of the depth of activity and influence we can have with our clients", said Todd Simmons, Executive Creative Director at Wolff Olins. "Throughout the entire process, we looked at every possible touch point and worked hand in hand with everyone in the business, even engaging the MIT scientists in our process. We're absolutely thrilled with the result as it reflects a seamless collaboration."
"We are just as proud of Living Proof's commitment to efficacy and the way they treat consumers as we are of the way the packaging turned out or anything else. This is true branding", continued Simmons.
Rob Robillard, President and CEO of Living Proof, commented, "Success in a start-up is about moments and decisions that will change the destiny of the company. We've been lucky thus far to have a few of those moments. One major one is having chosen to work with Wolff Olins."
About Living Proof
Living Proof was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and created for the purpose of solving the toughest beauty challenges by inventing efficient, single-purpose formulas based on entirely new molecules and breakthrough technologies. They are a team of scientists and beauty authorities brought together by a shared aspiration: to challenge the status quo and end the common beauty frustrations of people everywhere – once and for all.
About Wolff Olins
Founded in 1965, Wolff Olins is one of the world's leading brand consultancies. It has 140 people in London, New York and Dubai. In a world of caution and conservatism, Wolff Olins is ambitious for clients. In a time of anxiety and cynicism, Wolff Olins is extremely optimistic for the world. Wolff Olins works with a vast array of the world's most recognized brands including Unilever, PwC, Target, Microsoft, (RED), GE, Tate, Sony Ericsson, New York City, Beeline, and London 2012.

He looked at the table and again he did not like the set up.
This was the 5th time and he still did not like any bit of it. It is just half an hour to 9 and he looked flustered.
He knew he had to say this on that night and that is why the setup needs to be just perfect.
Half an hour later everything was perfect. The peppy and foot tapping movie songs in his phone speaker, the black table cloth with the red rose and red wine perfectly placed upon... she couldn't ask for more.
He saw the sparkle in her eyes again and the blush even her beautiful hair couldn't hide the blush on her cheek. He loved to just look at her.
She felt the Goosebumps again and her hands started trembling. She couldn't believe somebody could make such great arrangement for her, JUST FOR HER!
He knew the perfect moment was it. He looked in her eyes and read what was written there.
The kiss was tender, rough, gentle, lousy and Passionate.
She looked at him, gasping.
He looked at her, thinking.
Was the passion lost? Did they really lost it amidst of all achievements and expectations? Did they really lost it before that moment?
The song changed in the mobile playlist as if to remind him the next step…
Going down on the knees ….to ask her to be with her for the lifetime…
Her wrinkled hand trembled… The big diamond shone in her hand…

Intel Plots to Overthrow Microsoft
Is Intel plotting to promote alternative operating systems instead of Windows?
I can't prove it. But if you examine the evidence, it's easy to conclude that 1) Intel is up to something and 2) if it isn't scheming against Microsoft... maybe it should be.
Consider these recent events:
Intel invests in Linux, enemy No. 1 of Windows NT. Click here for more.
Researchers at Intel Architecture Labs develop a chip that runs Java.
Intel cuts a deal with Microsoft archenemy RealNetworks for streaming media. Click here for more.
Intel sent engineers to Be headquarters to assist with the port of BeOS to Intel.
Andy Grove opened his speech at Agenda with a demo of BeOS.
When I connect these dots, I conclude that Intel is preparing alternatives to Windows just in case. Clearly, Intel has become over-reliant on Microsoft -- a mistake that has cost the company dearly. Consider:
Microsoft is not doing its job in the interface arena. What's the number one reason computers still aren't mainstream? They're too hard to use. Who's in charge of the interface? Microsoft.
Microsoft is not doing its job in the consumer arena. Windows 98 should really be called Windows 95.1 for all the progress it represents. On top of that, Microsoft is about to abandon the Windows 98 family and switch everybody to NT (Windows 2000). That will lead to confusion and delayed purchases.
Microsoft is not doing its job in the embedded space. Embedded systems (handhelds, smart phones, smart appliances, smart cars, smart homes) will soon be a bigger business than PCs. Microsoft continues to fail in its efforts to create a world-class OS for this space.
Microsoft is not doing its job in the server arena. Windows 2000 (NT 5.0) is key to selling more high-end servers. It's late. Way late.
Microsoft is not doing its job in R&D. It has failed to develop breakthrough applications that drive new computer sales.
Microsoft is working with Intel rivals. It has developed operating systems for chips from companies such as Compaq/Digital, Matsushita and others.
Microsoft is a conniving partner. Just read the recent testimony from Intel in the antitrust case. Click here for more.
Imagine, for just a moment, a $900 PC with two Intel chips. Sporting the elegant Be operating system in all its multimedia glory. Wouldn't that set the market on end? And spur sales of Intel chips?
Intel may be the only company on the planet with enough money, smarts and influence to derail Microsoft. And Intel may be working to do just that. Soon.

Back in my early days of buying Rhones up in CO, I used to buy a lot of very reasonably priced Rhones under the Jaboulet-Isnard label. They were exactly look-alikes to the PaulJaboulet label.
They were often referred to as the Jaboulet "2nd label", but I always found the wines to be as good as the regular PaulJaboulet ones. I had also heard it was their "other" made-up label to get around the agreement they had w/ their sole-importer (FrederickWildman??).
Anyone knoow what ever happened to that Jaboulet-Isnard label? When did it go away? And who/what the heck is "Isnard"?

News flash! Corn alone will not satisfy the nation's insatiable desire for energy.
"The utilization of the entire corn crop for ethanol could meet only 15 percent to 20 percent of the current gasoline consumption, i.e. a 15 percent to 20 percent blend," says Bill McCutchen, associate director, Texas Agricultural Experiment Station.
McCutchen, speaking to the Ag Technology Conference held annually on the Texas A&M-Commerce Campus in December, said alternative crops and cellulosic energy conversion will be necessary in any "agricultural energy equation to maximize the contribution of agriculture to the energy problem."
And that problem is big and growing. McCutchen pointed out that the United States has only 2 percent of the world's oil reserves but consumes 25 percent of the world's oil supply. "The United States uses more oil than the next five highest consuming nations combined," he said.
Filling the nation's automobile tanks, heating homes and running businesses requires a multi-faceted approach to energy development and McCutchen said Texas is ideally situated to make significant contributions to U.S. energy reserves.
"Texas is the energy friendly state," he said. "We have the largest domestic production for both oil (26 percent) and natural gas (29 percent). We have 24 percent of the U.S. natural gas proved reserves, and we have an extensive energy infrastructure, including 26 refineries, 135,000 miles of natural gas pipelines and a large network of crude oil and liquefied petroleum gas pipelines and storage."
And Texas has agriculture. "We have a large forest and crop biomass production capacity. The Panhandle alone supports 25 percent of the nation's beef. And agri-geo diversity is extensive."
McCutchen said a big advantage is the state's "progressive farmers, ranchers and corporations."
Texas boasts a huge acreage of biomass crops, including: more than 5 million acres of wheat, 3 million acres of sorghum, 5.5 million acres of cotton, 5 million acres of hay, 2 million acres of corn, around 200,000 acres in rice and 40,500 acres in sugarcane.
Energy independence goals are daunting. McCutchen recapped President Bush's energy timeline:
–2012: make ethanol practical and competitive.
–2025: Replace 75 percent of all Middle Eastern oil imports.
–2030: Replace 30 percent of current U.S. petroleum consumption with biofuels.
Currently, the Midwest leads the nation, by a large margin, in ethanol production, 9.1 billion gallons per year in production or construction (potential). The South produces or has current construction potential for only 575 million gallons per year.
The Midwest advantage comes from grain production, but grain will not meet increased demand, McCutchen said. Even with increased acreage and genetic improvements from feed grains the country will be deficient in feed grain production "without significant new sources of carbohydrates to convert to fuel," he said.
Using the entire corn crop for ethanol would meet only that 15 percent to 20 percent of the current gasoline consumption, (in a 15 percent to 20 percent blend).
He said several industries compete for corn: animal feed, exports, human food, and energy.
"Texas would need 440 million bushels of grain per year to reach a 10 percent blend of ethanol. And Texas is already a grain deficit state and requires corn for a large and growing livestock industry." Texas A&M and other entities are looking at alternative biofuel sources including biomass crops, plant and animal waste, grain/seed oil crops, animal fat and plant oil and algae.
Biomass crops would be used to produce cellulosic ethanol, which may be "technically and economically viable within five to eight years. One of the primary variables for industry is the cost to produce the most efficient enzymes for cellulosic conversion to alcohol fuels," McCutchen said. Cost of enzyme production is a major impediment in cellulosic conversion.
The U.S. Department of Energy has recently announced guaranteed loans to build six pilot plants in the United States. None of those will be in Texas, McCutchen said.
Perhaps they should be. "Two significant variables for successful development of a viable cellulosic biofuels industry are: feedstock supplies and the logistics of producing, harvesting, storing and transporting feedstocks. Texas A&M Agriculture is positioned to be a leader in these areas."
Texas sorghum, for instance, makes sense, he said. Sorghum research currently underway may develop varieties capable of producing as much as 20 dry tons per acre. That compares with 13 tons from currently available sorghum varieties, 6 to 8 tons of switchgrass, 5 tons of poplar and 1.5 tons of corn stover. The economics also favor TAES sorghums with a $42 to $50 estimated cost to deliver to local plants for conversion to 25 million gallons per year. Current sorghum varieties would cost $50 to $60. Switchgrass costs would be $65 to $70; poplar would be $69 and corn stover $60.
McCutchen said tonnage will vary by location (North versus South) water availability and crop management practices. Sorghum holds promise because of its ability to produce in drought conditions and with less water than other crops and "produces more biomass than corn using 33 percent less water. Drought will be one of the next major traits in plant biotechnology," McCutchen said.
He said Texas Experiment Station research on new sorghums is a more than a five-year endeavor with emphasis on biomass production. Benefits include low input, drought and pest tolerance, and high biomass accumulation. Producers may use existing equipment.
The one caveat is the necessity for cellulosic conversion technology.
Texas A&M research also looks to biodiesel production through conversion of animal fat or oil. "The average biodiesel plant produces two to three million gallons per year. The process of converting oil to biodiesel is $.41 per gallon and total cost of biodiesel is $2.95 per gallon."
Possibilities for biodiesel feedstocks and potential per acre production (gallons per acre) include:
–Algae (theoretical) 10,000
–Palm, 560
–Jatropha, 180
–Castor, 130
–Canola, 115
–Sunflower, 100
–Soybeans, 50
McCutchen said "a new paradigm for dedicated bioenergy crops" may depend on production within a relatively short distance of conversion facilities.
Cooperation with corporate partners also will play a crucial role in energy independence. McCutchen said Texas A&M is working with Ceres, Chevron and General Atomics on bioenergy initiatives.
He said biofuel research and development goals include "developing dedicated lignocellulosic and oilseed feedstock crops. We're also screening and characterizing land for biomass production using modeling; developing agronomic practices for sustainable production systems; and developing production logistics to produce, harvest, transport and store biomass."
He said scientists still need to optimize the microbial/enzymatic systems to improve cellulosic and thermal conversion technologies. "We must evaluate economic policy and environmental issues, as well," he said.
McCutchen said the Texas State legislature has approved initiatives to contribute to biofuels development.

Ouch, this one does sting a bit. Of course Rj makes it look extremely easy, but I'm willing to give it another go. The current mountains are the 4th version, and one of those thorns in my side. I thought we had come up with a winner, but I will give it my best shot and see what I can produce.
Thank you for your time and feedback. I really appreciate it.
It might be an idea to use the background (light brown texture) instead of the dark brown for the mountains. The background acts also as an impassable at the borders of the map so it could be a logical choice to make them blend in more.

Second-half Surge Sends Wabash to 14-1by Brent Harris • January 15, 2011 Share:
Wes Smith scored a game-high 32 points and Nick Curosh added a career-best 14 as Wabash extended a nine-point first half lead to an 80-58 victory at Allegheny Saturday afternoon.
The Little Giants turned a 39-30 halftime lead into a 22-point victory thanks by forcing 22 Allegheny turnovers. Wabash converted those turnovers into 27 total points in the win. The victory improved the seventh-ranked Little Giants' record to 14-1 overall and 6-1 in North Coast Athletic Conference games. The contest was the first for Wabash since losing 67-65 one week earlier to number-one ranked Wooster at home.
Curosh (right), a 6-7 junior forward, dominated inside against a smaller Gator defense. He tallied six of his 14 points in the final period, shooting a perfect 3-for-3 from the field to go with two free throws.
Smith and Curosh each scored twice in the opening minutes of the second half to stretch the Little Giants' halftime lead to 14 points. Allegheny would get no closer than 11 points before Smith, AJ Sutherlin, and Derek Bailey each drilled three-point baskets to put the game out of reach.
Wabash's defense held the Gators to 19 points through the first 15 minutes of the final period. Smith finished the contest with six steals, scoring on each defensive stop.
The Little Giants shot 49 percent from the field, hitting 28-57 attempts. Wabash hit just six three-point attempts, but continued to apply offensive pressure inside to shoot 26 free throws in the game. The Little Giants hit 18 of those 26 attempts.
Bailey added nine points to the scoring effort for Wabash, while Sutherlin added seven points. Devone McLeod scored 17 points to lead the Gators (5-11, 2-6 NCAC), while James Ness added 10 points.
Wabash returns to action Wednesday night at Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio.

Top Tips for Planting Crocus Bulbs
Plant yourcrocus bulbs in a full to partial sun position, in well drained soil in early autumn. You can improve drainage by raking the top foot of the soil mixing in several inches of peat or compost.
Plant crocus bulbs 2 inches deep and 3 4 inches apart.
Plant the bulb with the point facing upwards, you may want to add some bone meal or some Bulb Planting Compost at this time to help fertilise the soil.
