STANFORD — Third-string Stanford quarterback Brett Nottingham won't be with the Cardinal at the 2013 Rose Bowl after the school announced Saturday that he turned in his playbook and is transferring to an unspecified school.
Nottingham, a redshirt sophomore who grew up in the East Bay and played for Monte Vista High School in Danville, saw action in only two games this season after backing up Andrew Luck in six a year ago.
After Luck graduated, Nottingham ended up as the odd-man-out when Josh Nunes took over the top spot and then was replaced by Kevin Hogan.
The 6-foot-4, 215-pound Nottingham had 10 completions in 16 pass attempts during his time at Stanford, including a 39-yard touchdown in the school's 57-3 rout of San Jose State in 2011.

The final mystery in the tragic US murder and dismemberment of disabled Australian schoolgirl Zahra Baker has been solved.
After months of analysis, a skull found in North Carolina bushland by a hunter last April has been identified as Zahra's.
The North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's crime lab, the state's medical examiner and experts at Marshall University in West Virginia used Zahra's DNA profile to make the identification.
"This information gives the members of Team Zahra mixed emotions," Caldwell County chief of police Tom Adkins told North Carolina TV station WCNC.
"It brings up the tragedy of Zahra's death and the life she lived before she was killed, but it also gives us and the community a sense of finally bringing her home."
The tests did not reveal how Zahra was killed and the Australian Embassy will assist in Zahra's remains being taken back to Australia for burial.
Zahra's stepmother, Elisa Baker, is serving a 15- to 18-year sentence for the 2010 murder and dismemberment of the Wagga Wagga-born 10-year-old, who battled bone cancer during her short and tragic life.
Baker, a self-described gothic and pagan, scattered Zahra's body parts and a prosthetic leg in bushland kilometres away from their home in Hickory, North Carolina.
Zahra's father, Adam, was not charged in relation to his daughter's murder and has returned to Australia.

Ubuntu's Mark Shuttleworth Predicts That Countries Who Limit Patents Will Have More Innovation
from the but-of-course dept
"We know that we are sort of dancing naked through a minefield and there are much bigger institutions driving tanks through," Mr Shuttleworth says.Of course, this is the exact opposite of what the patent system is supposed to do -- but pretty much everyone who's actually innovating these days seems to recognize the same thing. What amazes me is that we haven't seen more of what Mark hints at towards the very end: countries providing explicit safe havens around patents. We have examples of this in the past -- perhaps most famously, the Netherlands and Switzerland in the latter half of the 19th century. The Netherlands dumped patents entirely, while the Swiss limited what was patentable massively (to the point that very little was considered patentable at all). And both countries saw economic growth as a result -- where industry and innovation flocked to both countries because they weren't being held back by patent disputes.
"It's basically impossible to ship any kind of working software without potentially trampling on some patent somewhere in the world, and it's completely impossible to do anything to prevent that.
"The patents system is being used to slow down a lot of healthy competition and that's a real problem. I think that the countries that have essentially figured that out and put hard limits on what you can patent will in fact do better."
It does seem that perhaps some folks in the Netherlands remember this. There's an ongoing effort called the Appsterdam Foundation (in Amsterdam, of course), where part of the goal is to help protect app makers from crazy patent lawsuits. But I'm waiting for even more recognition from countries that this is a real growth opportunity. Assuming that countries have the nerves to withstand having the US taunt them each year with placement on the Special 301 list, there's a real opportunity for a developed nation to have innovation show up in droves by massively limiting patents.

Independent Discussion Guidelines
Once again, the Indy gives us an incomplete set of possible choices. Under the Constitution, the House creates the budget and is not required to fund anything in particular, the Senate is to consider and debate the budget and propose compromises, the President is not involved. In this case, the House presented many possible budgets, Harry Reid refused to bring any of them to the Senate floor for debate, and the President attempted to become Legislator in Chief by bullying the Republicans.
The correct answer is that the Democrats, under Barry and Harry, were the root cause of the shutdown.

Oh come on JL, the Pres. was hardly "bullying the Republicans"! A small band of united Tea Party Republican fools were bullying the American people, the US Congress, the President, and especially more genuine conservatives in their own venerable GOP. The House already MADE huge budget cuts via the sequester, the Tea Party radicals - unpatriotic Americans, really -- kept insisting on more and on eliminating a LAW that was in existence for over two years (ACA). Get with it, ACA is the law of the land, passed by both Houses of Congress, signed by the Pres., upheld by the Supreme Court, supported by O's '12 re-election... you are disguising the facts, John.

No, DrDan, JohnLocke is 100% correct if you actually paid attention to what was happening instead of listening to MSNBC talking points.
That said, you know what they say.. When they start electing libertarians, you know the ship is about to go down. They hate giving any credibility to libertarian ideas because of their authoritarian nature.. So they often let libertarians win when the ship is about to go down to discredit them. I'm looking for and still hoping for a Rand Paul 2016 victory, and then I look toward working very hard to argue against all of the anti-libertarian propaganda that will follow when the system collapses, which would have never happened if we followed Constitutional, libertarian ideals to begin with.

A bill to open the government could have been passed had Boehner brought it to the floor of the house on Sep 30 - there were enough Republicans to pass it, as was shown on the day of the vote. No question.
The only person responsible for this delay was John Boehner.
This would NEVER have worked, as John McCain said (a fool's errand) and Ted Cruz said beforehand. If the bill had been passed in the Senate (fat chance), the President would not have signed it.

AS reported in Forbes magazine in March 2013:
"None other than NBC's David Gregory today pressed Obama's chief economic advisor, Gene Sperling, whether his boss told the truth in the third presidential debate that "the sequester is not something that I've proposed. It is something that Congress has proposed." Sperling finally wilted under the pressure of tough questioning to admit that "yes, in fact, the sequestration was President Obama's plan."
On Tuesday February 19, press spokesman Jay Carney admitted "The sequester was something that was discussed… and as has been reported, it was an idea that the White House put forward.""

DrDan, my last post was about the sequester, not ACA; let's try to keep the discussion linear instead of avoiding valid counterpoints. I do accept that ACA is the law of the land and believe it to be flawed but fixable. The Republicans acted legally, albeit stupidly, at every step, but then, they're not acting much differently than did the Dems during the Bush years. whoever's ox. etc.

Obama has had a LOT of ideas and plans, many of them not implemented. Why because people disagree with them. Or they have been filibustered, and not even made it to a vote.
Sequestration MAY have originated with him, but it had to take votes for it to be implemented. Everyone who voted is responsible. Period.

Junior Seau Arrested, Drives SUV Off Cliff Upon Release
10/18/2010 1:30 PM ET By A.J. Perez
Retired linebacker Junior Seau was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence early Monday -- and then drove his vehicle off a cliff after his release.
Seau was arrested in Oceanside, Calif., and transported to a nearby jail where he was released on bail, a San Diego Sheriff's Department spokesperson told FanHouse. Hours after his release, Seau's Cadillac SUV was found at the bottom of a cliff in nearby Carlsbad.
"Preliminary Investigation shows the vehicle left the roadway and traveled over the cliff, landing on the beach below," the Carlsbad Police Department said in a news release. "The vehicle was only occupied by the driver, a male who was identified as Junior Seau."
He was transported to Scripps La Jolla Hospital with unspecified injuries. The Carlsbad PD said an investigation is underway to determine what led the accident that was reported at 8:42 a.m. PT
Seau played 13 seasons for the San Diego Chargers -- then seven additional years between Miami and New England -- and is one of the region's most beloved figures. He owns two restaurants in the area and his non-profit organization has donated thousands to area charities. Seau most recently starred on Versus' "Sports Jobs with Junior Seau."
A message left with Versus was not immediately returned.
TMZ.com was the first to report the arrest, which occurred around 2 a.m. PT.

Hunger In Latino Families
In 2010, working with Feeding America, The Urban Institute prepared two reports on the impact of emergency food assistance and federal nutrition programs in the lives of low-income Hispanic children, based on analysis of Hunger in America 2010 data. The report was sponsored by the ConAgra Foods Foundation.
According to the first report, Emergency Food Assistance Helps Many Low-Income Hispanic Children [PDF], the Feeding America network is serving nearly one in every three Hispanic children in the United States each year.
The second report, Low-Income Hispanic Children Need Both Private and Public Food Assistance [PDF], indicates that Hispanic children and their families are less likely to receive help from SNAP, the cornerstone of the federal nutrition safety net, than non-Hispanic white or African-American children. This overview highlights major findings from both studies.
Also available is an Executive Summary [PDF] highlighting the main findings of the research.

Forum Post: Telecommunications the internet & You.
Posted 5 years ago on Sept. 18, 2013, 9:46 p.m. EST by DKAtoday
from Coon Rapids, MN
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
Telecom companies like Verizon and AT&T have literally never challenged the legality of an NSA request for bulk telephone data-- despite an explicit statutory mechanism for doing so.
Rather, they've been enthusiastic participants in the unconstitutional mass surveillance engaged in by the National Security Agency, volunteering their customers' data to the NSA willingly!
Verizon Enterprise Solutions President John Stratton went so far as to criticize and mock companies like Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft for "grandstanding" on the issue of surveillance by launching legal challenges to the spying programs! "Consumer-centric IT firms," said Stratton, might think it's important to "waive their arms and protest loudly so as not to offend the sensibility of their customers."
But not Verizon. No, Verizon doesn't care about the "sensibilities" of their customers -- nor about their customers' constitutional rights.
Maybe it's time we make them care.
PETITION TO VERIZON: John Stratton's comments on the NSA reveal that your company has no interest in protecting the privacy rights of your customers. We demand you join the major internet companies in challenging the NSA's mass surveillance programs -- or we will take our business elsewhere!

|FreeBSD Installation and Upgrading Installing and upgrading FreeBSD.

7.0 to 7.1 retaining app. preferences etc.
I've been fairly conservative and held off on the 7.0 to 7.1 update. Last night I burned the isos to disc, and intend to install from there.
I have a non-generic kernel - for ATAPI support
I also have a number of applications that I use with regularity -
wine & Neverwinter
FireFox and Opera
and various others
I'm using the NVidia driver.
Are there any pitfalls I should be wary of with this upgrade?
Also, I'm going to backup prior to the process, but will the upgrade clobber/overwrite my various conf files - in particular here I'm thinking about K3B which took a bit of configuration.
You shouldn't have any major big bang why the hell am I doing this kind of issues; just read /usr/ports/UPDATING based on how long it's been since you last updated most programs on your system (hint: 7.0-release is marked).
I'm not familiar with upgrade via CD-ROM, but the usual method via source involves merging changed/updated conf files into your system. The mergemaster script makes it fairly painless (especially with the -Ui options) once 'world' is upgaded.
Be sure to update your system source (e.g. /usr/src) and compile the nvidia driver a new after FreeBSD and X.Org has been upgraded. In my opinion, one should always ensure loadable kernel modules (i.e. drivers) are compiled against the kernel they will run on, for maximum stability ;-).
depending on /just/ how long it's been since your last update of 3rd party software, you might want to take note to updating glib20, gtk20, libxcb, perl5; and running the perl-after-update script as documented in it's manual; and recompiling offenders if you run into problems starting certain applications that depend on them.
My Journal
Thou shalt check the array bounds of all strings (indeed, all arrays), for surely where thou typest ``foo'' someone someday shall type ``supercalifragilisticexpialidocious''.
I am not clear whether you are upgrading or doing a new install over your existing installation.
I am assuming you just want to upgrade, and in that case I don't understand why you are burning ISOs instead of using freebsd-update(8) or using the buildworld process. I suggest you hit the Handbook.
If you use one of those methods, none of the configuration files for your 3rd party applications will be touched. The FreeBSD directory hierarchy keeps 3rd party configs and system configs separate. For something like K3B, that config would be in your home directory anyways.
Kernel modules built for other kernels can cause kernel panics. For the nVidia driver, you should unload the nVidia kernel module before you upgrade and prevent it from loading until you are done with the upgrade. Rebuild the nVidia driver after your upgrade is complete and then you can reload it.
Finally, if you want a good summary of the changes between 7.0 to 7.1, you might want to look at the FreeBSD 7.1 Release Notes.
I'm planning to Upgrade. I had believed that I could do this from a local source (e.g disc) rather than retrieving everything remotely, which is slow/could possibly eat up a big chunk of my ISP download allowance).
I've looked at freebsd-update and the Handbook, but neither were relevant to what I had thought I could do, above.
The k3b configuration isn't retained in /home - http://daemonforums.org/showthread.php?t=246
I've already looked at the Release Notes thanks, as well as the errata.
You can upgrade using a CD by selecting the "Upgrade" option from sysinstall, but I have never used it. One of the reasons I suggested using freebsd-update or cvsup/buildworld was for saving bandwidth.
As far as K3B goes, the configuration for the application itself is in your home directory. All of the other files for permissions and the like in /etc are not K3B specific. I would assume "Upgrade via CD" uses mergemaster(8) to merge your configuration files like all of the other methods of upgrading do. In that case, just take care to look at what mergemaster is actually merging in when it comes to your configuration files. If you don't pay attention, it could revert your configurations to default values. That is why it is a good idea to backup everything before upgrading.
have you updated your 7.0 using cvsup or freebsd-update?
i dont know how the cd upgrade works, but youre probably going to have to cvsup everything to get all the patches anyway, so why not just upgrade to 7.1 using cvsup and save yourself some work? just a thought.
I've created a bzipped tarball of my /etc and am going to burn my music/video/files off to disc.
Anything else I should be backing up prior to the upgrade
/boot/loader.conf if you have anything important in there.
Should be all right. Keeping a backup of /etc and /usr/local/etc would be a good idea.
Also, if you have things in a postgres or MySql or other serious database, you should have a dump of them as well.
The only dumb question is a question not asked.
The only dumb answer is an answer not given.
if you upgrade according to the make buildworld routine, you should be fine, really. you will have to compile the kernel again for your atapi support.
cp /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile /usr/local/etc
*default host=cvsup.nl.freebsd.org (change to your nearest mirror) *default base=/var/db *default prefix=/usr *default release=cvs tag=RELENG_7_1 *default delete use-rel-suffix *default compress src-all
csup /usr/local/etc/stable-supfile rm -rf /usr/obj cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=<yourkernel> (from /usr/src/sys/i386/conf) make installkernel KERNCONF=<yourkernel> mergemaster -p make installworld mergemaster -Ui reboot
The second mergemaster should copy a whole bunch of files automatically (specifically files that you have never changed) - the ones that were changed, you will have to watch carefully what the differences are.
It will also want to delete some old scripts from /etc/rc.d - that's ok, delete them.
If you are really afraid to go on, you *could* even skip the mergemaster bit, or skip the files that need merging and do it later on. I have seen ppl skipping the mergemaster for several upgrades, but it's bound to go wrong somewhere.
Basic point is: try to get used to the mergermaster program. That's the only real tricky part. If you backup /etc, you'll always be safe.
I actually recently (last week) did the 7.1 to 7.2 upgrade and it was painless.
What I'm searching for now is the quickest /easiest way to update my installed ports and packages - not the tree, the actuall installs.
The FreeBSD Handbook gives a run down of both portupgrade and portmaster.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — U.S. consumers took on plenty of debt in November for auto purchases and student loans, but they didn't use their credit cards very much in the first month of the holiday season.
Tampa, Charlotte among gainers.
• U.S. homeownership at 18-year low
Consumer credit rose by a seasonally adjusted $16.1 billion in November, marking the second straight sizable gain, according to the Federal Reserve. In October, consumers racked up a slightly revised $14.0 billion in additional debt.
Most of the increase in November came from non-revolving debt such as auto and student loans. Non-revolving debt jumped $15.2 billion.
Credit-card debt grew by less than $1 billion based on preliminary Fed data, indicating that Americans were cautious consumers in the first month of the holiday season.
Consumers usually add debt when they feel more confident about the health of the economy and their ability to pay off their loans.
The smallish increase in credit-card use might indicate Americans were trying to rebuild their savings. Alternatively, they may have been waiting for additional Christmas-related sales before buying gifts.
At the end of November, consumer credit stood at $2.77 trillion. It's up 5.2% since the beginning of the year.

[Verse 1]
Today Jimmy Hendrix is my motivation
I guess it's time for me to put them 808's in
Middle finger to them faggot niggas hating
And sake pase to all my fucking Haitians
Give me a pimp cup to pour my Rose in
I'm in the same car that Ricky Rozay in
Tell Satan that it's a celebration
So get your hands up, nigga get your hands up
Now, which one of us is really Mr. West?
Probably the one of us that really needs to wear his vest
And I'm just shooting my niggas some subliminals
Cause he got all the bitches and I be with the criminals
Beat sound like some crazy shit that Tim would do
Now when you see me, I'm the brown Eminem to you
Show you what I'm finna do, but you don't know it's me though
Magic when I shoot, get to bustin' like Hedo
Turkoglu, niggas, get to murking you niggas
Hit your block in the Caprice and just circle you niggas
Know what I mean? Think you fiends, how I'm serving you niggas
Know what I mean? Think I'm beans how I'm serving you niggas
And it ain't rice and beans when I'm serving you niggas
Punk you in front of your crew, Steve Urkel you niggas
Putting bull shit out, I hope it works for you niggas
And when it don't, come and see me, I got that work for you niggas
[Hook X2]
Like uh (Mr. West, Mr. West!)
Uh (Mr. West, Mr. West!)
Uh (Mr. West, Mr. West!)
Now, which one of us is really Mr. West?
[Verse 2]
He had a rose, I had a rose too
Eat your money up, you know how them hoes do
Burn rubber, swear to God they gon' love ya
Like rookie cops, can't wait to be undercovers
I'm six-five, nigga basketball size
You act like I can't fuck one of them basketball wives
I be a basketball Game, with my basketball dame
Feeling like, Hov, call back, I'm watching basketball dang
D-mn, but I ain't talking 'bout dames
I ain't talking bout Hov, I'm just talking bout Game
Ask Ray Allen, they boy got game
Or Jesus Shuttlesworth the boy got range-s
In the parking lot, niggas talk a lot
They way they gossiping hip-hop should be a barber shop
Getting cash money baby, why you trying to baller block?
Mad chick, her's, man somebody gotta call the shots
I guess it's me y'all, the highest on the see saw
Get so much money, why the fuck would I wann be y'all?
Shit, I be everywhere, but I don't ever see y'all
So for the next 12 songs, I'mma fucking R.I.P. y'all
[Verse 3]
Sometimes I hear anger talking, asking how I'm feeling
I'm just happy to be alive, Lord willing
Four albums later, two more children
Feeling like 'Ye, "Mr. West is in the building"
What happened to the competition? Nigga I killed 'em
Can't drink Cristal, the nigga ho chilled 'em
I'm on this patent rhyme like I know them niggas
Them haters say I fell off? I'm 'bout to show them niggas
Drake and J. Cole them niggas
I sold nine mill, made nine mill, and kept it hood nigga
Just like Dre told a nigga
I made it rain in hundreds like I was Big Meech
I made it rain in hundreds when I was with Meech
Went from a Cutlass with the old front end
To a, um, Benz, stop light jumping
Now I'mma take you back to where I got jumped in
West side Compton, just east of the one ten
[Hook Number 2]
I just roll weed on your last album
And after that I'm 'bout to fuck your girl for 'bout an hour
Look around the club, uh, all I see is cowards
Mad 'cuz I got respect, the money, and the power
I just roll weed on your last album
And after that I'm 'bout to fuck your girl for 'bout an hour
Look around the club and all I see is cowards
Mad 'cuz I got respect, the money, and all the power
[Verse 4]
"No one man should have.." 'Ye said that
"Can't knock the..." Naw, Jay said that
"You can thank me..." Naw, Drake said that
"Mind playing tricks on me" Scarface said that
But I'm about to roll this paper plane
Hit the barber shop, get cut before this Laker game
Niggas hate The Game, sometimes I hate the fame
They hate my bitch, they hate my chain
I'm so hood, I might fly to New York and just take the train
On some John Travolta shit, just take the train
If you in New York at two o'clock, don't take the train
I make niggas dissapear, no David Blaine
I split your whole team up, no Jay and Dame
Fresher than Will Smith was before Jada came
Four albums, twelve cars, but the flow stay the same
Every nigga I dap turn blood, it's like I'm made of flame
Dipping this red flag, like the one I gave to Wayne
[Hook Number 2]
[Verse 5]
Go Dwight Howard, now watch them hoes run
Soon as the Game over, they back stripping for ones
Had your bitch all in my crib, stripping for fun
Getting head, thinking 'bout cars when I strip 'em for fun
Walk in my closet, throw on my J's, pick up my gun
Spin the block with some some shit that spit quicker than puns
I respect two East Coast niggas, Biggie was one
If he was living, he'd say that no one is sicker then son, uh
Young gun, bar none, the tightest where I'm from
Roll some much kush, got the leaves sticking to my thumb
As I break it down , bring that six tray around
Banging Nas album, yeah, you can hate me now
Treat beef like haircuts, I gotta fade it down
Ran out bars, guess I name-drop Slim and Baby now
Why do niggas hate? Only 'cuz I get Cash Money
Six bricks in the Aston Martin, that's fast money
[Hook Number 2]
One of the coolest songs off The Game's latest mixtape "HoodMorning (No Typo) : Candy Coronas".
The whole track sounds as a big reference to Kanye West, but it's not a diss, though. Just a couple of mentions.
Also, [Hook Number 2] sounds like Kanye's "Power".

Astor heir, 89, granted medical parole in NY
NEW YORK (AP) — An 89-year-old heir to one of America's earliest megafortunes has been granted medical parole two months after being sent to prison for siphoning millions from his mentally failing mother, society grande dame Brooke Astor.
The state Department of Corrections and Community Supervision announced Anthony Marshall had been granted parole and was released Thursday afternoon, a day after a parole board interviewed him.
The board found he was suffering from debilitating and permanent, though not terminal, illness, and it creates "a reasonable probability that you do not present any danger to society," commissioners wrote. Before his release, he'd been moved from a prison in New York's Hudson Valley to a hospital, officials said, though they wouldn't specify where.
"We're gratified by the parole board's unanimous and compassionate decision," one of Marshall's lawyers, Kenneth Warner, said in a statement.
Marshall began serving his one- to three-year sentence in June, after fighting his conviction for years. State law allows medical parole for inmates with serious and permanent illnesses. Marshall's doctors have said he suffers from Parkinson's disease, depends on a wheelchair and can't do many daily tasks without help.
Prosecutors had raised questions about the extent of his illness and the appropriateness of releasing him so soon.
"Anthony Marshall was convicted of stealing millions of dollars from his 100-year-old mother," and the parole board's decision means he will serve a small fraction of his sentence for it, Erin Duggan, a spokeswoman for Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., said in a statement Thursday.
Astor was a noted philanthropist in New York City and, as a benefactor of New York charities large and small, received the nation's top civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, in 1998.
She inherited a fortune from her third husband, a descendant of one of the nation's first multimillionaires, John Jacob Astor.
Brooke Astor died in 2007. She was 105 and had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.
Marshall, her only child, earned the Purple Heart in the battle of Iwo Jima and later became a U.S. ambassador and Broadway producer. He also managed his mother's money — and appropriated chunks of it for himself, prosecutors said.
Marshall's 2009 trial opened a gilded door into New York's elite social circles, featuring testimony from such Astor friends as Henry Kissinger and Barbara Walters. Jurors saw a video of Astor's black-tie 100th birthday party at a Rockefeller family estate.
While Astor sank into dementia in her last several years, Marshall used her money to award himself expensive plums — including a $920,000 yacht — and manipulated her to change her will in his favor, prosecutors said. He was accused even of taking art off her Park Avenue walls.
Marshall's lawyers said he had legal authority to give himself presents from her money. Astor knowingly adjusted her will out of love for him, the defense argued.
Marshall was convicted along with Francis Morrissey Jr., 70, a former estate lawyer found guilty of forging Astor's signature on a change to her will. Both were sentenced to the minimum terms for their crimes, and the judge said he took "no pleasure in following my duties" when he finally dispatched Marshall to prison in June.
Warner and fellow Marshall lawyer John Cuti said then that there was no justice in imprisoning a man who has trouble swallowing and needs an oxygen tank at night.
"Incarceration will simply make his final days more tortured and undoubtedly fewer in number," they said in a statement.
Prosecutors said in an Aug. 14 letter to the parole system that they didn't have enough information on his condition to take a stance on his potential release. But his age shouldn't be a consideration, Assistant District Attorney Elizabeth Lowey argued.
"His release barely two months into his one-to-three year sentence would undoubtedly denigrate the seriousness of elder financial exploitation," she wrote.

Thursday June 7, 2012
WIth the splendour of this weekend's Diamond Jubilee a fading memory, the spectacular backdrops to the four-day extravaganza are returning to normality.
One of these, the Royal Barge which was lent to the Queen for the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant, is now being stripped of its majestic decor.
The Spirit of Chartwell was decorated for the event with sumtous gold leaf trimmings, tapestries, a red carpet and a specially made throne for the monarch and her husband Prince Philip.
There are reports that some of the intricate designs which adorned the boat will be put on display in the Museum of London Docklands.
The owners of the vessel have said that the boat, which is usually used as a cruiser for fee-paying passengers, will be back in action as of June 16.

Blonnie Brooks necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 168 diseños de 13 diseñadores freelance.
Blonnie Brooks Photography - http://www.blonniebrooks.com
I am a photographer who focuses on wedding photography with natural expressions, casual relations and a fresh, organic-type appeal. I love for real emotions and natural expressions to shine through in my photos.
I am a photographer because I love everything about it... from the first click of the shutter, to post-processing, to sharing with the world. I'd do it for free if there weren't things like bills and new lenses and LIFE to pay for. I want to sell my whole -experience- to a client, not just photographs.
My target audience is women in their 20s-40s with focus on their children, family, love and marriage. They're a little boho, fun and a little elegant and stylish.
No stock/clip-art.
I would like a design that incorporates the B's in my name in the form of butterflies. I am not opposed to just the first "B" as the butterfly (in Blonnie) and that alone could be the standalone logo as well. I would like the "B" to be recognizable as a B, though. Again, not too ornate. I am not opposed to a serif font.
Butterflies to me: ethereal, nature, rebirth, freshness, earthy, free spirit, uniqueness and new beginnings. I have designed the logo for my company with this in mind, but I feel that it's a little too generic, blah and not unique. see my website for what I mean: http://www.blonniebrooks.com
My business' main focus:
Timeless, yet modern/sunny photographs.
My -main goal- is to have a logo that gives me the ability to use the graphic element as a stand alone and recognizable emblem. As it is now, I do not believe you can pull the "B"s from my name out and have them be seen as a standalone/recognizable symbol of my company.
The logo needs to be able to reduce well and not be so ornate that the details would be lost upon reducing.
I prefer that the logo to be primarily orange and black .. golden hour/natural type colors (but feel free to give me new ideas/colors) and be fine if I needed to put it on a black or white background by changing the text color.
Another idea I had was to make the front/back wings of the butterfly emphasized oppositely on each "B" (wings half closed) and have them come together as one full butterfly for the main logo.
I can revise my website scheme to match the feel/colors of the logo.
THANK YOU in advance for your hard work. :)

1. Kimi no Todoke - Because dammit I loved the show and the manga.
2. Fractale - I've read only one chapter of the manga and it looks like it's going to be great. Also despite some negative comments, I actually like A-1 and Ordet's work on the animation.
3. Wandering Son - Same writer as Aoi Hana. Good enough for me.

We're around 4 episodes into autumn. Oh well.
I'm going to try:
Fractale, Gosick, Wandering Son, Merry Dream Eater, Is This a Zombie?, Dragon Crisis, Infinite Stratos, Haiyoru!, and Rio -Rainbow Gate!-.
But really, all I'm looking forward to is Gosick. A gothic-style mystery series from BONES is something to look forward to.
Of course, Kara no Kyoukai! Mirai Nikki should be good too.

Not much for now, but Gosick is the one I'm most looking forward to. Overall it looks like:
- Gosick (absolutely yes, plus BONES means it'll be great =D)
- Hourou Musuko (premise sounds really intriguing and I hear it takes the subject seriously so this is my second most anticipated)
- Fractale (Yamakan may be a drama queen and the current anime designs look sub-par to the original art, but it's worth a shot)
-Ininite Zero (looks nice, that's it.)
Possiblity: Nayrlko, because the Flash ona got some laughs out of me.
OVA wise Rakkyo epilogue and .hack//Quantum are the main ones, while the new Princess Resurrection and Mirai Nikki interest me a little. May try Supernatural.

For the hell of it, I'm going to see what .Hack//Quantum has to offer.
I've been a huge fan of .Hack franchise for quite awhile now, just keeping my fingers cross everything will be decent atleast.
Merry Dream Eater seems interesting. I'll have to give that a try if the reviews is okay.

Looks like there are plenty of interesting series this winter. I am looking most forward to Kimi no Todoke 2nd Season though. The first season was amazing, it always put a smile on my face.
As for the others, I will look into Fractale, Gosick, Wandering Son, Is This a Zombie?, Dragon Crisis, Infinite Stratos, Hiayori, and Rio. Of which I will watch, well, we'll have to wait and see. And Future Diary (aka Mirai Nikki) should be awesome.

Winter menu already? Oh my, that was fast^^ Not as promising as the previous seasons, but oh well...
1) Wolverine. I pray they'll skip the god damn CG in THIS one.
2) Beelzebub. Been waiting for this
3) Cardfight!! Vanguard. Should make a nice present to my cousin...
4) Merry dream eater. Randomness in all its glory, makes me wonder but is probably just fleeting curiosity.
5) Rio -Rainbow Gate- . Won't be watching this, but how do you make an anime about ANIME!?
Might add Gosick if I got enough free time for an extra mystery, will be watching the Mirai Nikki OVA and Supernatural, the latter with caution.

Starry☆Sky might be cancelled.
According to the japanese editor Enterbrain, Inc. and the editor of Comic B's Log magazine, in their webpages say that the publication of the manga and the future adaption of the anime of Starry☆Sky might be cancelled because Kazuaki, the one making the character design has plagiarised some photos with copyright of the manga Kaiyorihito Kaiyorishiki.
Kazuaki has written a letter of apology and has closed his web (here)while Enterbrain, Inc explained the reasons of the stop of the production (here)
Some of the plagiarised images:
Spoiler for space:
it is really a shame...
Will defintely watch Kimi ni Todoke^^

As far as I'm concerned, cosmic horror references + moe is an unbeatable combination, so I'll probably be watching Nyarlko regardless of whether or not it's actually any good
Other than that, Zombie, Fractale, and GoSick look the most interesting based on my 3-second skim of the chart.

A byproduct of the World Cup is an explosion of interest in soccer within our shores.
This is what ESPN's experts, in their infinite wisdom, tell us. They point to joyous outdoor viewing parties at the Hermosa Beach Pier Plaza and Redondo Beach Veteran's Park to prove their point.
This ignores the fact we love a party, especially when it's free. The point also can be made that nationalism, plus a measure of marketing product it broadcasts, is a driving force for ESPN.
So could the claim soccer is exploding be no more than ESPN hype?
Not so fast, says Paul Krumpe, the 1990 U.S. World Cup team member out of West Torrance High and UCLA who coaches Loyola Marymount University's West Coast Conference champions.
"There are so many ways young Americans watched the World Cup," Krumpe said on the phone from Hawaii, where he is vacationing. "We had a camp going when games were played. We had 150 kids in the cafeteria watching Germany-Brazil. The broadcast was delayed a minute or two. The college kids were watching in real time on their phones. They would tell us when a goal was coming because they had already seen it."
World Cup mania, or explosion, notwithstanding, football, basketball and baseball lead the way with soccer buried deep in fourth place in the American sports psyche. This point is indisputable: football, basketball and baseball draw the vast majority of the best athletes in our country.
With this the case, can the U.S. move from being good enough to scratch and claw its way into the round of 16, as it did in Brazil, to join the world soccer elite?
This goes beyond marketing magic on television. The U.S. cannot expect to catch up with Germany, Argentina, Brazil, the Netherlands and others without the best athletes turning to soccer.
Krumpe thinks this is exactly what is happening.
"I look at football now with the concussion things," he said. "A lot of moms have concerns about putting their kids into Pop Warner football. I think some of the better athletes are moving to sports other than football. I think some of the better athletes will move to other sports."
Some will end up playing soccer.
Some already are, which is why the U.S. has moved upward in the World Cup hierarchy.
The decision by coach Jurgen Klinsmann to leave Landon Donovan home demands examination.
We're talking about arguably the best player in the history of U.S. soccer who still is a very capable player on the outside looking in and used as an object lesson that no one is bigger than the team.
This was a tough-love move for the good of the team as well as a petty display and, perhaps, even some sort of Klinsmann personal vendetta.
"It probably was the right call," Krumpe conceded. Then he added, "I think all our opponents said, 'Wow, this gives us one less player to worry about.' "
Whatever the reason, Donovan should not have been exiled. At the least, he would have been a valuable player off the bench late in games.
The U.S. also needed better than it had when Jozy Altidore was injured. Better would have been Donovan.
One of Krumpe's talking points for a number of years has been improved coaching on the youth level.
"When I played, I did not have a coach who had played soccer until I was 13," he said. "Now you have coaches who have played in college or even the pros coaching in the youth programs.
"We have the right system in place. Every MLS team has an academy team. There are club teams. Kids are starting at five. It's just like basketball. They are playing year round."
When Krumpe went to the World Cup, it was with a group of college and former college players who basically were weekend warriors.
"We had no expectations of playing beyond the first round," he said. "In Brazil, we were disappointed we did not get past the round of 16. That's a good thing, and those expectations will grow."
And grow. And grow. And?
"I think the U.S. is capable of breaking the deadlock Europe and South America have on winning the World Cup," he said. "The U.S. or Mexico, because they're looking good, too. Maybe not in four years, but in eight or 12 years."
Watch out world, the U.S. is on the way in soccer.
Clearing out the mini-notebook:
Dept. of thumbs up >> Congratulations to Joe Jares, a former neighbor as well as a former sports editor and columnist of the Daily News, on his selection to USC's Athletic Hall of Fame along with Harold Miner (Inglewood High), Pete Carroll, Dave Levy, etc. Next time around, the Trojans need to include Bill Bordley (Bishop Montgomery High), a college baseball All-American as a Trojan and a recent inductee in the College Baseball Hall of Fame. …
Quoting >> El Segundo's Bruce Dobos on Yasiel Puig: "He's so explosive. I love watching him play. (It's) like seeing our cats zoom around in the backyard." …
traveling man >> Infielder Trent Hammond of Manhattan Beach played his high school baseball at Loyola, Mira Costa and Serra. He reportedly is searching for his next stop following his freshman year at Loyola Marymount University.
Bottom line >> Two indisputable facts: (1) LeBron James is the best basketball player on the planet. (2) Humble is not included in his vocabulary.

Healthspan Campaign
Scientists who study aging now generally agree that it is malleable and capable of being slowed. Rapid progress in recent years toward understanding and making use of this malleability has paved the way for breakthroughs and interventions that will increase human health in later life by opposing the primary risk factor for virtually every disease we face as we grow older—aging itself. Better understanding of this "common denominator" of disease could usher in a new era of preventive medicine, enabling interventions that stave off everything from dementia to cancer to osteoporosis. Poised as we are for an unprecedented aging of our population and staggering increases in chronic age-related diseases and disabilities, even modest extensions of healthy lifespan could produce outsized returns of extended productivity, reduced caregiver burdens, lessened Medicare spending, and more effective healthcare in future years. The field of aging research is poised to make transformational gains in the near future. Few, if any, areas for investing research dollars offer greater potential returns for public health.

Editor's note: The following story tells of a crime committed in Bureau County more than 100 years ago.
The year is 1908, and the place is a farm just west of Tiskilwa. The property is owned by Herbert Whiting and was being rented by the James McMahon family. Living with the McMahon family is a servant, Mary Hetrick. Whiting also lives in a closed off section of the house. Mary's age was thought to be 16.
Around 6:30 a.m. on Dec. 5, McMahon and his 6-year-old son, Mark, went to do the morning chores. "What a good little girl we have," stated McMahon as Mary was already preparing breakfast. "You'd better hurry along and get your chores done," replied Mary. Ellen McMahon was in the other room dressing her 3-year-old son Herbert. He was throwing a fuss, so Ellen asked Mary for the whip. With that Herbert promised he would cooperate. Mary kissed his head and promised to save him, if he behaved.
Around 7 a.m., there was a loud noise in the kitchen, and Mary cried out, "Oh my God! Help me!" Ellen found Mary on the floor.
"My head is dizzy," said Mary.
Ellen went to Whiting's room and told him Mary was sick and then informed McMahon.
"What shall we do if little Mary dies?" asked McMahon. Tiskilwa's Dr. Landis was phoned, and Mary was placed on the bed. Shortly thereafter she died.
Landis arrived and examined the body and felt Mary's death was caused by strychnine poisoning. A post mortem examination revealed Mary was eight months pregnant. A coroner's inquest was held, and the jury ruled suicide due to her condition. With Whiting's urging and the McMahons' testimony about Mary's frame of mind before her death, the coroner's jury was finally convinced otherwise.
Mary's body was exhumed on Dec. 17, 1908. and in St. Mary's Cemetery in an open casket, her internal organs were extracted and sealed in glass jars for shipment to Chicago for examination.
James Currens, a one-time farm hand for McMahon, gave testimony at the inquest he knew not of Mary's condition. Currens said, "He (McMahon) told me one time when we were on the upper barn floor (what he would like to do to), the girl but she would squeal on him."
Macie Hamrick testified she stayed with Mary on two occasions when Ellen McMahon was away. Mary requested she stay because she was afraid to stay the night alone with McMahon. On one of these occasions, McMahon offered the girls whiskey, but they refused. The two girls were both sleeping in the same bed, but when Macie awoke early the next morning, Mary was gone. Macie found Mary in another bed,where she had been put by McMahon.
Florence Blessing, Mary's mother, testified she had been sick in June and requested that Mary come home. Later she met McMahon and asked why Mary had not returned home. McMahon replied that Mary had not wanted to. On Thanksgiving Day 1908, Mary returned home and said the McMahons had told her if she went home not to come back.
On Dec. 31, 1908, a report was filed that there was enough strychnine found in Mary's stomach to "kill several people." On Jan. 2, 1909, the coroner's jury's finding was that Mary had died of strychnine poisoning, and the McMahons were responsible.
On Jan. 8, 1909, a grand jury handed down two indictments against James McMahon for rape and murder of Mary Hetrick. Ellen McMahon had confessed to the grand jury that she was aware that Mary was pregnant. Mary told her McMahon was the father. Henrietta Anthony also testified Mary had told her McMahon caused her condition.
Ellen McMahon was not indicted, but her testimony could not be used against her husband. Chapter 51, Section 5 of the Evidence and Depositions reads: "No husband or wife shall be rendered competent to testify for or against each other as to any transaction or conversation occurring during the marriage ..."
By Jan. 14, 1909, James McMahon was arrested and taken to Bureau County Jail.
C.J. Searl was hired as the attorney for the defense. It was reported the trial would be continued until the April term. In the meantime, Ellen McMahon and the two children had moved in with her mother in Tiskilwa. On Jan. 23, 1909, a sale was held at the Whiting Farm and all the McMahons' implements and livestock were sold. John McMahon, James' father, was to use the $3,700 taken in for the defense fund. Notice was served on Jan. 26 that Ellen could not sell any of the furniture because it was evidence and that John McMahon intended on selling these items for the defense fund.
McMahon's bail was set at $21,500. He would never be released. Every time his father went to get the bond signed, the bondsmen were not available. By Feb. 25, any hopes of getting released on bail were abandoned.
Ellen McMahon soon hired States Attorney L.M. Eckert and through him was able to procure $1,300 of the farm sales. Hobart Young of Chicago was hired by the state, while Frank Quinn and Ira Gibbons were added to the defense team.
On April 29, 1909, McMahon was arraigned and pleaded "not guilty to the charge of murder. It was revealed that Ellen McMahon had filed for divorce. The trial was to begin May 26, 1909.
Along with Ellen McMahon's grand jury testimony, Henrietta Anthony's grand jury testimony could not be repeated because of a law stating that what Mary Hetrick had confessed to Mrs. Anthony was only admissable in court if it were a dying statement.
Some of those to testify were Paul VanDervort, Florence Blessing and Herbert Whiting. Whiting gave the accounts of Dec. 5, 1908, and was not aware of Mary's pregnant condition.
L.O. May, Tiskilwa's undertaker, testified McMahon had requested the county pay for Mary's funeral. In the end, costs were split between Whiting, John and James McMahon. Embalming fluid was not used, and Herbert Whiting dug the grave. The unborn baby was buried next to her.
Alice Okey gave testimony that Mary had been running late for school one day because the children's dog had followed her and Macie Hamrick as they walked. The time was around 8 a.m. Miss Okey saw Mary again at 11 a.m. that day heading toward school and said Mary looked as if she had been crying. This was after the night that Macie had stayed with Mary because of her fear of McMahon. Ellen McMahon was away with the children.
Dr. Landis; C.L Wilkens, the Tiskilwa druggist; Grace Rogers, the stenographer at the inquest;and many other's gave testimony for both sides. On June 20, 1909, at 1:45 p.m., the jury retired to deliberate. By 4:45 p.m. a unanimous verdict was reached.
James McMahon was found guilty of murder and sentenced to 20 years imprisonment. John McMahon, father of the defendant, collapsed in the courtroom and was taken outside.
While McMahon was serving time at Joliet, the defense team continued to work. Finally on Feb. 16, 1910, the verdict of the trial was reversed by the Illinois Supreme Court. Criminal Law 956 states the prejudice of a juror is grounds for a new trial. Wilson Stroud and Leonard Jontz had filed affidavits stating juror Leroy Plumley had made statements that he felt McMahon was guilty. These statements were made before he was selected as a juror. Another error was made by State's Attorney Eckert during the inquest. He asked the stenographer Grace Rogers to leave out some of the testimony given by James Currens. This testimony was questioned when brought up during the trial. Eckert admitting to telling Rogers to disregard some of Curren's statements as they could be viewed by the public.
By March 10, 1910 James McMahon was back in the Bureau County Jail waiting to be bailed out and a new trial. He would get both.
Ellen McMahon filed for divorce on April 30, 1909. Grounds for the divorce included intoxication, obscene and profane language toward Ellen and the children and McMahon's affair with Mary Hetrick. The divorce was granted on June 4, 1910.
Bail for McMahon's release was set at $12,500. John McMahon and his cousin, Ellen O'Halloran, provided the money, and McMahon was handed over to the custody of his father. When McMahon was asked how it felt to be free, he replied, " I have always felt confident that I would get out." McMahon went to live with his parents on their farm south of Tiskilwa.
The second trial started on Saturday, Oct. 14, 1911. Many of the same witnesses testified again as in the first trial.
Miss Alice Okey added to her previous testimony an incident when Mary had come from school not feeling well. McMahon had asked what the problem was, and Ellen McMahon blamed him for Mary's sickness. James Currens testified that McMahon had stated that if Herbert Whiting did not leave things alone, he was going to poison him like he (McMahon) did the girl.
James McMahon took the stand in his own defense. He spoke well of Whiting and Currens and admitted to the incident where he offered Macie Hamrick and Mary Hetrick the whiskey. James denied ever mistreating Mary.
On Oct. 28, 1911, the jury again found James McMahon guilty of murder and given 15 years in the state penitentiary, Joliet. It had leaked out that the jury felt McMahon hurt his case by testifying.
It was reported on Nov. 30, 1911, the defense filed a charge of prejudice against juror Everett Sapp of Wyanet. By Dec. 11, 1911, McMahon was back in prison.
April 18, 1912, the Illinois Supreme Court handed down a ruling, and the verdict was again reversed. This time the reasons given were that the testimony of Hamrick and Okey were of no importance. A conversation described by James Currens was out of the ordinary and unlikely to have happened. This meant if there were a retrial that the testimony given by all three witnesses could not be repeated, according to the rules of evidence. State's Attorney Eckert promised he was not through. McMahon's father posted his $15,000 bail, and again, McMahon was a free man.
On Feb. 14, 1913, the Board of Supervisors instructed the state's attorney to drop the case against James McMahon. A resolution was presented for the state's attorney to strike from the docket both cases. According to M.A. Striver, a supervisor from Walnut Township, the cost to the county had already exceeded $10,000, and it was a "useless waste" to pursue the case any further. Herbert Whiting, a member of the board, was not present but sent a letter and ended it by stating, "Gentlemen, I ask you to enforce the law in this case regardless of expense. Should money be of greater importance in our estimation than the young womanhood of our country?"
On March 1, 1913, James McMahon's struggles were over. He was set free and all charges wiped from the dockets of the court. McMahon had lost everything but his freedom. But the question should and always will remain, if James McMahon didn't commit the murder, who did?
James and Ellen McMahon were remarried on 18th of December 1915 in Tiskilwa. In August of 1926, James abandoned Ellen. She was granted a divorce again on July 22, 1929. James died at the home of his parents on Feb. 24, 1941. The death was reported by his brother, Raymond. McMahon is buried in St. Mary's Cemetery south of Tiskilwa. Ellen McMahon died on Jan. 27, 1960. She and her son, Mark, are buried at St. Mary's Cemetery, not far from McMahon. Herbert Whiting died Sept. 26, 1939, in Tiskilwa. He is buried in Mount Bloom Cemetery. The house on the Whiting Homestead burned after being sold to Dan Russell. The residence was replaced with the pebble dash home that currently sits on the property.

Zags Move up to Second in Latest AP Poll
(AP) — Indiana is No. 1 in The Associated Press' Top 25 for the fourth straight week, while Gonzaga moved to No. 2 for the first time in school history. While the West Coast Bulldogs made some news at the top of the poll Monday, Louisiana Tech, the Bulldogs from Down South, moved into the rankings for the first time since a 13-week run in 1984-85, their only appearance in the poll. Louisiana Tech, which is 25th this week, was led back then to a ranking as high as No. 7 by a forward named Karl Malone. Gonzaga at that time had a point guard named John Stockton.

No matter how much you love running, chances are you're not a huge fan of logging kilometre upon kilometre during the often unforgiving winters on the Prairies.
One emerging trend that seems to be keeping Albertans putting one foot in front of the other year-round, though, is the destination run. Sure, a destination wedding offers sightseeing and Mai Tais while friends or family tie the knot, but booking a holiday around a race not only offers a metaphorical carrot dangling in front of you during training, but also delivers the feeling of truly having earned your celebratory poison of choice once the finish line has been crossed.
A runner all her life, it was her 30th birthday looming on the horizon that inspired Gillian Muirhead to book a March break getaway to San Francisco this year, where she would run the Oakland Marathon and then celebrate both the accomplishment and the conclusion of her 20s in high style.
"With the dragging winter we endured, I knew that I wanted to get down to California during spring break," Muirhead, a middle school teacher, says. "Travelling for a run is a lot easier than it is for a triathlon or bike ride - you only need your shoes. And it's actually a great way to experience a new city."
It was because the marathon was booked and Muirhead could envision a beautiful race day in the Cali sunshine that helped her push through many long runs around the indoor track at her local gym when running conditions outside were only inspiring hibernation.
The party and well-earned relaxation that she knew would follow the race didn't hurt, either.
"It's kind of the ideal way to book a holiday. You gain a feeling of accomplishment and feel good about your health heading into the run and then you can totally unwind and enjoy your vacation afterwards," she says.
All the added joys of exploring a new city and earning your post-run r'n'r aside, there are quite a few added training measures and considerations that runners need to take when signing up for a run away from home. You will certainly want to know what the route of your chosen run includes so you can prepare mentally and physically. Most races post routes online, so you can investigate the terrain and train accordingly. You may not be able to practise running on sand in Edmonton or Calgary, but there are other ways to prep for the challenge. Personal trainer Katherine Zia suggests adding a strength component to your training to prep your body for the experience of unfamiliar ground underfoot.
Though Zia says she's a recreational runner, not a run coach, with destination runs such as the San Francisco Nike Women's Run, Las Vegas Rock 'n' Roll Half Marathon and the Maui Valley to Sea Half Marathon under her belt, she knows a thing or two about training for the unexpected.
"My strategy is always to tackle as many different hills as possible during training runs, visualizing hills I might encounter along the race route," she says. "In the Big Sur International Marathon, runners climb the approximately five-kilometre hill to Hurricane Point. You need to be ready for that hill if you don't want to end up walking it!" Albertans living close to the mountains have the advantage when it comes to altitude; they'll have the upper hand at sea level. One thing we are not accustomed to, however, is running in heat.
"If the race is in a hot climate, you need to be prepared for that in terms of setting an appropriate goal, knowing you'll need to drink more water/electrolytes and being aware that you may need to slow down your pace," Zia says. "I like to travel to the destination a couple days before the run so I can get used to the climate and area. For a hot destination, I like to get in at least a couple training runs and if the route includes sand, for instance, I like to hit the beach a couple times for a refresher on how that feels."
Zia also suggests staying somewhere close to the route, at least the night before the run, to ensure getting to the starting line without incident. "You want to get into your usual at-home pre-run routine as quickly as possible and be well hydrated so things like travel constipation or insomnia are not an issue. And you want to plan your arrival time so that you are able to pick up your race package and be part of whatever events are taking place prior to the race."
Muirhead and Zia agree that when you travel to a race, you become part of a much larger experience.
"Hundreds to thousands of people from all over converge on the city to run the race and usually you can start making those connections as early as the airplane ride to the destination," Zia says. "Once you're on the ground, there's a buzz in the air and an excitement for the upcoming event that gives you butterflies in your stomach and puts a smile on your face."
If maintaining training motivation is what's standing between you and finishing a marathon, a destination race just may be the enticement you need to push through.
Do a little research, book a ticket and make a run for it.

Work at the OpenStack Summit in Portland this week is helping bridge the gap between what's been promised and what's becoming possible. Nowhere is the gap between these two wider than with autoscaling. Everyone expects the cloud to be able to automatically scale right out of the gate, but the truth is that it requires a lot of work and sometimes only happens with the help of a third-party service provider.
Making autoscaling work, and fulfilling cloud expectations starts with consensus. The challenge for this Summit was for the various contributing partners to come to an agreement about how to integrate autoscaling into OpenStack.
Should autoscaling stay part of the Heat project, which encompasses all of orchestration, or spin off as a separate project? Is scaling fundamentally different from configuration or simply a subset of what's encompassed in workflow management? This is a major issue and gets to the heart of how people use cloud computing both today and in the future.
With the discussions today, the community has come together and recognized that Heat is more than a service for providing pre-configured deployments. Instead of just a project, Heat is emerging as a toolkit, a container for all orchestration systems across OpenStack. Autoscaling will exist in Heat, but as a separate codebase with its own API, accessible with or without implementing Heat.
This highlights the benefits of a collaborative and open technology environment. How remarkable is it that software engineers from HP, Red Hat, IBM, Rackspace and others can come together and discuss both the needs of customers and the technical implementation of the solutions? The Summit brought together multiple perspectives in a collegial environment to make real progress.
This architecture makes it easy for users to start using autoscaling immediately, without having to adopt a full template-based orchestration system. For some this simplifies their infrastructure. For others, it eliminates the need for implementing a second orchestration engine on top of one they may already have. But it also keeps the key autoscaling functionality as part of the overall orchestration engine for those who want an end-to-end OpenStack implementation.
Autoscaling is a critical part of the promise of cloud computing. The work at this week's OpenStack Summit is going to bring this functionality into the hands of open cloud users everywhere.

This pattern was love at first site! I love big purses because I carry a lot of junk. :) I got a great deal on this pattern by Paisley Pear from Super Orange Sewing on Etsy. Still haven't found the right big buttons that fit right with it, but I'm on the lookout. :)
