CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – It was recently announced that Zachary Haupt, MIT's assistant track and field coach who works primarily with the athletes competing in jumps, will be stepping down from his position at the conclusion of the outdoor season in May.
"We are sad to see Zach leave us," said head men's and women's track and field coach, Halston Taylor. "He was a successful coach for us for the two years he was part of the program, having particular success in the Triple Jump, but also in his other areas: the High Jump and Long Jump. All of his athletes like him a lot and are sorry to see him go."
Under his direction, five athletes broke multiple MIT freshman or varsity records throughout the indoor and outdoor season. Junior Kristine Bunker and sophomore Preethi Vaidyanathan (South Windsor, Conn.) jointly hold the varsity indoor record in the High Jump with a 5-04.25. Vaidyanathan most recently broke the record at the Tufts Last Chance Meet on March 3.
Junior Jacqueline Brew (Amherst, N.H.) broke both the indoor and outdoor record in the Long Jump last season with her 17-07 (indoor) and 18-01.75 (outdoor). Sophomore Michelle Johnson (Glendora, Calif.) made it onto the record board in the Triple Jump with a 36-10.25 during indoor season and 37-05.75 during outdoor season. On the men's side, freshman Carrington Motley (Pittsburgh, Pa.) broke the freshman record in the Triple Jump with a 46-01.25.
Haupt will be returning to the Midwest, where his family is currently living, at the end of the academic year.

The Spring Creek Ranch golf course is ready to tee off in a major way. The private golf club north of Collierville is aiming to become more of a destination "resort" and is seeking to build a new special events center with a culinary arts school and microbrewery, along with cabins and a day spa, to attract a much wider audience.
Spring Creek Ranch master plan
"I am trying to get our name out there outside of golf," said Spring Creek Ranch general manager Robb Meyer.
The new events center would allow Spring Creek Ranch to double the number of events – weddings, receptions and parties – the golf course can handle now, while including a culinary arts school and microbrewery. Currently, Spring Creek Ranch, which features a Jack Nicklaus-designed golf course, hosts special events at its main clubhouse.
"I didn't design the golf course to host events so we had to turn a lot of people away," Meyer said.
He added that he is in the exploratory stages of bringing in an accredited culinary school, or creating a culinary school and getting it accredited, and creating the microbrewery, but the main idea was to maximize the potential of the new special events center.
"With the events center I said, 'We're not getting the most out of this we can,'" Meyer said.
The expansion would also include 16 cabins and a boutique day spa. Like the new special events center, members of the public, businesses or groups could make appointments to use the cabins and spa.
The Shelby County Commission is expected to vote on the project July 22. The Memphis and Shelby County Land Use Control Board approved the proposal with conditions.
Ophthalmologist David Meyer, Robb Meyer's father, founded Spring Creek Ranch.
In 2009, the Meyers sold half-ownership in Spring Creek Ranch to now-defunct Stanford Financial for $6.5 million and investments.
Stanford, the firm founded by financier R. Allen Stanford, pumped roughly $30 million in improvements into the property, which is at Raleigh LaGrange and Collierville-Arlington roads, before its Ponzi scheme financing brought the company down in 2009.
The Meyers regained total ownership of the ranch in 2010 for $3 million.
Robb Meyer said the planned improvements would maintain the quiet beauty and high standards set for what he often simply referred to as "the ranch."
"I always try to keep the spirit and feel of Spring Creek Ranch in whatever I do," he said.

Is it Time For The Republican Party to Pick a Nominee?
It's definitely an election year. President Obama is campaigning for a second term, and the republican party is still battling it out for a nominee. It feels like the Republican preliminaries have been going on forever! So much so, that when I hear news about it, it's starting to sound a lot like Charlie Brown's teacher (Wha, Wha, Wha).
Do you think it's time for some of the nominee to drop out so the Republican Party can move on?

This track is fun little piano loop. It has a nice rhythm with a catchy melody. It could be used as a scene segue, a comedic piece, or a children's video. It's up to your creative application. Short and sweet.
Don't hesitate to email with questions or editing requests. I can do it reasonably and sometimes for free.

Today's high performance car packs a lot of power in a smaller package. In order to save both weight and space, the typical OEM cooling system is designed for normal driving conditions. When driven hard for extended periods, the cooling system may prove less than adequate. Earl's offers the solution to marginal cooling systems race proven lightweight and efficient oil coolers designed to fit in the smallest practical space. Any performance vehicle can benefit from the TEMP-ACURE difference. Tow vehicles, motor homes, passenger cars and even motorcycles can realize extended engine and/or transmission efficiency and life with an Earl's TEMP-A-CURE oil cooler. Racing cars have always required oil coolers. Since World War II, most racing cars, world wide, have utilized brazed aluminum modular oil coolers. The basic design of the modular oil cooler dates back to the early 1930s when it was developed for use with the Rolls Royce Merlin engine that powered the Spitfires and Hurricanes that won the Battle of Britain. This type of cooler with its internal turbulator plates and dense air fins provides maximum liquid side and air side surface area. The large collector tanks ensure minimum flow restriction. The fully brazed construction results in the most efficient possible thermal transfer path between liquid and air. All of this adds up to the most thermally efficient liquid-to-air heat exchanger available.
- Manufactured in the U.S.A from aircraft spec aluminum alloy, using the latest vacuum brazing technology.
- Corrugated screen internal turbulator plates increase both thermal efficiency and mechanical strength resulting in the most efficient, smallest and lightest practical package.
- Manufactured from thin aluminum plates for the fastest possible heat transfer.
- Inlet and outlet fittings o-ring to the top plate assembly.
- Designed for the range of oil flows and air speeds encountered in high performance automobiles.
- Available in three widths with inlet and outlet fittings male AN.
- Every cooler is pressure checked to 175 psi. Periodic samples are burst tested to 350 psi.

Like many of their fruity brethren, pears and strawberries have provided the subject for innumerable watercolor still lifes in the past — yet most of these earnest efforts have produced middling if not worse results at best.
But not so with the 8 pieces of produce so artfully arranged and painted by one of the signature winners of the 34th Annual Virginia Watercolor Society Juried Exhibition, where 108 works incorporating a more-than-usual allotment of vision and talent are on view through May 26 at Hampton's Charles H. Taylor Arts Center.
Created by Fairfax artist Chris Krupinski, "Pears and Strawberries on a Quilt" easily ranks among those uncommon yet welcome images that immediately make you stop, look and pay attention — then deliver on that interruption with an admirable performance in the mysteries of manipulating color, light and shape as well as the elements of a complex composition.
And it's far from the only painting here that reflects a polished talent working at a high level.
For many years, this juried exhibit has been recognized as a showcase for some of the state's most accomplished watercolor artists — and the 2013 edition is no exception.
From traditional still lifes, landscapes and portraits to the experimental and abstract, it offers most viewers much more color and craftsmanship than they can easily absorb in a single walk through the exhibit. So well-honed and executed are some of the very best still life and landscape images here that you may have to come back for a second visit.
Krupinski's large, vibrant painting offers some of the most convincing proof, beginning with the long row of pears and strawberries she arranges in an apparently haphazard yet strategic line that moves diagonally across the top of the picture.
Framed by an inky black background, two green-skinned pears stand proud while a third tumbles haplessly over on its side. Interspersed among them a string of bright-red strawberries adds still more shape, attitude and color to the image as well as a foil for the bigger and more noticeably contoured pears.
Despite all the care and attention she devotes to this beautifully laid-out and painted passage, however, the artist pours still more thought and work into the folded expanse of pieced, colored and patterned fabric squares that eases out from beneath the line of fruit and tumbles down across the middle and bottom portions of the picture.
In the end she fills up some three-quarters of a relatively large painting with what is essentially a bold and optically charged abstract composition — yet one that sidles up to us in the deceptively familiar form of a homespun quilt.
Rising up from the other side of the spectrum is Williamsburg artist Dorothy Grebos, who won the 2013 Chairman's Award with a non-representational image that appears at first to violate one of the medium's cardinal doctrines.
Where Krupinski's painting is all about the clean, sharp lines, colors and shapes that define most traditional watercolor work, Grebos' "Murmurs" is defiantly not. Instead she bumps up against the age-old danger of shoving her medium over the edge into the realm of the mixed and muddy.
In her hands, however, what results is a persuasive demonstration of the ability of gesture to conjure up passages of subtle mystery as well as near-muscular power.
Layering various colors as well as brush strokes of different size and direction, she creates a largely undefined kind of abstract landscape filled with both fluid, cascading energy and half-hidden detail. And just when you think you've taken in every single zig-zag or spatter of paint, she finds ways to make you stumble across something else.
Plenty of other works deserve attention here, too, including Arlington artist Katherine Sullivan's handsome, pattern-filled likeness of a bristling mass of Chesapeake Bay blue crabs.
And don't miss Yorktown artist Stephanie Schmuck's enigmatic "Old Man in Chair," a shadowy minimalist portrait that abandons the traditionally rich color and narrative simplicity of the medium for something far more mysterious and potentially darker.

Yamaha's MotoGP team looks set to gain another sponsor for 2014. According to the PU24.it website – the same website which broke the news of Rossi's decision to drop Jeremy Burgess – sportswear manufacturer Adidas is set to sponsor the factory Yamaha team of Valentino Rossi and Jorge Lorenzo next season.
The deal is said to be part of a larger contract, which will involve the Team Sky VR46 Moto3 squad as well. The deal appears mainly aimed at the Italian market: according to the PU24 website, one of the benefits for Adidas will be better visibility for its ads on the Sky Italia channel, which will be broadcasting MotoGP in Italy next year, and which is also a co-sponsor of Valentino Rossi's Team Sky VR46 Moto3 squad.
The deal is rumored to be a two-year contract, though how much money is involved is currently unknown.

Spine of Overkill, by Woody High
Every time Chris "Woody High" MacDermott sends in one of these Spine of Overkill columns, I just want to spend the whole day listening to classic thrash. So it goes with this month's, in which — after hearing Ben Smith of The Brought Low talk a bit of smack — he rallies to the defense of Exodus' 1985 ripper, Bonded by Blood. Could a Brought Low/Mighty High feud be in the works? Only time will tell.
Recently Ben from The Brought Low said on the internets that Exodus is whack and that he's OK going on record with it. Chances are he's thinking of the stupid videos for "Toxic Waltz" and "Low Rider" that he watched on channel U68 in Queens as a kid. Somehow I doubt in 1984 he was trying to track down a copy of their Whipping Queen demo or live tapes through the pages of low budget fanzines. Everyone's entitled to their opinions but I'm here to set the record straight. Bonded by Blood is absolutely their greatest album and it fuckin' kicks major ass!!
Formed in 1980 as a traditional Judas Priest/Iron Maiden-style metal band, the core Exodus members were drummer Tom Hunting along with the guitar tag team of Kirk Hammett and Gary Holt. It wasn't until they discovered belligerent heavy metal maniac Paul Baloff and made him their singer that the Exodus attack was under way. A demo in 1982 unleashed the songs "Whipping Queen," "Death & Domination" and "Warlords." A live demo the following year contained a killer song called "Die by His Hand." An important part of this song would later wind up in Metallica's "Creeping Death" and cause a lot of arguments in parking lots, basements and woods for years to come. It wasn't until Kirk quit that the Exodus sound would really take shape. Under the direction of Gary, the band starting cranking out the ultra-violence jams that we all know and love as Bonded by Blood.
Opening with a bomber sound effect, the song "Bonded by Blood" explodes out of the speakers and causes immediate psychotic reaction. The first time you hear Baloff screaming lyrics like "Metal and blood come together as one/Onlookers they gasp in dismay," there's no going back to "Hot Rockin'" by Judas Priest. "Onlookers they gasp in dismay" is a key line for the time period. If you put this tape on at a party and started raging you might actually get to hear the entire song due the stunned nature of the non-metal brethren, especially when you scream "INTENSE METAL IS ALL THAT YOU NEED!" in the face of a cheerleader. And as you're getting muscled out the door at least you get deliver the gospel of "Metal takes its price – BONDED BY BLOOD!!"
Now that you've been kicked out of the party, it's time to rage to the rest of it in the safety of an empty field or, if you're really lucky, in a moving car. Start to finish, this album is the definition of drunken, anti-social pugnaciousness. Their theme song "Exodus" has a pummeling riff that will give you that extra bit of adrenaline you need to pull stop signs out of the ground. "And Then There Were None" is a little slower but is just the right tempo for when you're rocking a parked car back and forth trying to flip it over. "A Lesson in Violence" is great thing to threaten the old man at the liquor store with who wants to see your ID. All of this means you're under the "Metal Command" of Exodus, "A wall of sonic sound with amps turned up to 10!" And that's just side one!
Flip it over and Tom Hunting's drums set you up for an attack of "Piranha." One of their fastest songs, it's also a great warning not to try and do battle with this "deadly school." Almost a full minute of solo acoustic guitar starts off "No Love." That would be totally unacceptable if it wasn't such a heavy song about human sacrifice. "Deliver Us to Evil" is what Mercyful Fate might have sounded like with John Brannon of Negative Approach singing instead of the caterwauling of Queen Rhinestone. The bloody mess of side two wraps up with the absolutely vicious "Strike of the Beast," one of Gary's best riffs.
Recorded in 1984, Bonded by Blood was actively being passed around by tape traders long before its official release in the spring of '85. Exodus were huge in their native San Francisco but had not yet done a lot of touring. By that time Metallica was touring their second album Ride the Lightning and Slayer had put out their debut album and two EPs. But when Exodus finally did go on tour, it was with Slayer as they took turns blowing Venom off the stage. It's well documented on the incredible VHS tape called The Ultimate Revenge, filmed at Studio 54 in New York City (later to become the "new" Ritz). You get to witness Baloff's giant afro, hilarious stage banter and the band's methed up metal attack. Slayer's portion is unbelievably heavy. Poor Venom never stood a chance. Touring on the weak Possessed album and without original guitarist Mantas, they refused to let the live footage shot be used in the video. Instead there's an interview with Cronos and Abaddon while promo videos take the place of their performance. It is to my eternal regret that I was not at this show.
Paul Baloff got the boot from Exodus not long after and things were never the same. Exodus went on to have some successful albums but they always seemed to be competing with Anthrax as to who could be silliest with the shorts and moshing business. They've been cranking out some brutally heavy albums for the past 10 years but a big portion of their set remains the Bonded by Blood album. This album was also a good bridge to the Master of Puppets fans who initially found stuff like Hell Awaits, War & Pain, Heavy Metal Maniac and Morbid Tales way too raw. As Baloff would say "metal rules & if you don't like it, die!" Rage in peace, Paul. YEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!

Dr. Grumpy: "Well, it's pretty consistent, regardless of pulmonary function, but obviously the patient will have to be trained to use it properly."
Suit guy (makes notes): "And here, do you think this instruction sheet is self-explanatory?"
Dr. Grumpy: "Yes, but it would be nice to also have a demo unit in the office, to show patients how to use it."

On The Move needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 44 designs submitted by 12 freelance designers.
We are leaders in innovating dynamic, youth-centered programming to support under-served youth transitioning from systems of care.
Our website will target current and prospective donors, volunteers, community agencies and partners as well as media sources. We want to capture their attention with lots of images, a clean design and simple, concise text. This website should be easy to use and navigate, especially for first time visitors.
Design frontpage & content subpage using attached wireframes (deliver PSD). Colors: #444a9e & #007aa3, use contrasting colors as you see fit. Website width: 960px.
Main banner area to be a Photo Collage using combination of attached (PhotoCollage*.jpg) images. Use all images or selection. Use attached logo file (MainLogo.jpg) over the photo collage.
Navigation area should stretch across the design as there may be more items added to it. The navigation should be designed for text not images. Include active & hover. We like the navigation on http://williamsoncountycasa.org/: a color bar with transparency over underlying image.
Use any of the attached images (PhotoCollage*.jpg) in the left hand area of the Featured Area. The look we are trying to achieve can be seen on http://www.edutopia.org/ where there is an image bordered on the left hand side with styled text. The right hand areas (V.O.I.C.E.S.

Featured 2 Area: The Donation area should stand out. The other parts are simple images & text but we would like to see some image treatment that can be translated into CSS.
Subpage is a simple main column with right hand narrower column. The banner & footer of the page is the same as that on the Frontpage.

Youth for Change movement
Somehow I ended up going to a meeting for the few weeks old Youth for Change movement. It is apparently somehow affiliated with the Egyptian Movement for Change (Kefaya). It is the youth component of Kefaya I suppose, all under the larger umbrella of Kefaya.
The meeting was interesting. A bunch of young people that I didn't particularly identify with. Some were pretty cheerful singing some Negm/Imam songs before the meeting. Felt like I was taken back to the early 70's and 60's, and the characters were taken out of a Sonallah Ibrahim's novel. Ofcourse, in order to be a rebel and an intellectual you have to be a smoker. So I inhaled lots of second hand smoke. This is my contribution to the advancement of democarcy in Egypt.
George Ishaq started talking. Snowy white hair, but very youthful in spirit. I liked what he said but wasn't really convinced by some of it. He talked about how all the political affiliations should melt inside Kefaya and no one should come here trying to impose his or her political thought. He talked about next Wednesday's quiet 'vigil' at Saad Zaghloul's tomb at 8pm on candle lights. I made sure to ask for affirmation that there won't be any chanting or slogan shouting, and he and others insisted that there shouldn't be any (I was happy about that). He talked about how they will not accept that Kefaya's demonstrations be attended by only 2-300 demonstrators. We will not go out in demonstrations less than a 1000 (I'd like to see how they'll do that). He talked about how last week's beatings and indignity will not be tolerated again. I was wondering how will they stop that, until he said; "we have our utmost respect and trust in our judiciary, but if we don't get justice by this regime, we will take our cases to the international tribunals." I really wanted to clap my hands and applaud. He talked about how a member of Kefaya was arrested a few days ago, and how they would not rest until he's out, and from now on they will have dedicated people to follow-up on any one who gets arrested.
So then George left, and left the youth behind to practice democracy, and I wish he hadn't. It was democracy in its purist forms I suppose. All what they were trying to do was to come up with some organization of their youthful movement, form some committees to oversee the work, and some coordinating committee to oversee the committees, decide what are the roles of the committees, have less or more committess, call them committees or working groups, how each committee should function, bla bla bla, endless. But all was done in a democratic way, just a bit uncivil and disrespectful of others at times. So I left, and an hour later my friend calls me to tell me that they haven't reached a decision yet. I had asked to get the floor for two minutes to tell them to just start with any organization, and worry about restructuring later, start with something, stay dynamic, and most important, have a 2-3 non-charismatic leaders to get things going. But there were too many people that had their turn to talk ahead of me (and two said more or less what I wanted to say), and I have had enough of the smoke and the endless details, and who am I aslan, so I decided to leave.

NEWTOWN, Conn. (AP) — Connecticut State Police say they are assisting local police in Newtown in response to reports of a shooting at an elementary school.
A dispatcher at the Newtown Volunteer Ambulance Corps says a teacher has been shot in the foot and taken to Danbury Hospital, but it's unclear if that's the only injury.
The superintendent's office says the district has locked down schools.
The shooting was reported at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, in western Connecticut. State police say Newtown police called them at about 9:40 a.m. about the reports.
The Newtown Bee newspaper (http://bit.ly/J4eUyR) posted a photo of a group of young students — some crying, others looking visibly frightened — being escorted by adults through a parking lot in a line, hands on each other's shoulders.

smangersnes necesitaba un nuevo diseño de papelería y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 11 diseños de 2 diseñadores freelance.
Sastre is a new consulting company that helps companies to develop effective multichannel marketing strategies to improve their revenues and profitability across all channels. Another word for multi channel marketing we use is 360 degree marketing. We focus on both offline (TV, print, newspapers, etc) and online marketing (web, mobile, mail etc) and seeks to optimize our clients spending in the channel mix that generates highest ROMI (return on marketing investments)
We have just got a new logo from a designer here on 99designs, and want now to continue with a powerpoint presentation template.
Today we use "Sastre - data beats opinion" - meaning that we focus on measuring every aspect of companies media spending.
We are a startup company and use powerpoint a lot both for business presentation and in sales.
The target audience are senior executives (CEOs, Presidents, Vice Presidents, CMOs) in medium to large companies. The template should invoke in the target audience the following thoughts:
PROGRESS – Movement to a goal or higher stage, advancement
INNOVATION – Creativity, differentiation, boldness
CONFIDENCE – Reliability, trust, integrity
Usable PowerPoint design template including typestyle and layout for each of the presentation slides.
Pages should include:
1. Front Page Design (I would like the winning design to have 2 front pages that I can use depending on the presentation. One more "artsy" and one more business like.)
2. Table of contents
3. Company summary slide
4. A general text slide design for the presentation (2 variations)
5. A slide that has several graph designs (as in, if I want to make a graph and/or a chart, the graph/chart's colour, fonts, look/feel would match the power point template).
6. A Thank you Page
Provide exact colors you would use for text, graphs, each segment of "stack graphs," lines on charts, headers, etc.
Presentations will both be viewed on screen and printed in landscape format; new colors/designs/graphics should print clearly and consistently in color.
Design must accommodate our existing logo (attached)
Title is required on all slides (except the Cover Slide). Determine whether we should use a "color" banner or a line(s) or other form of graphic.

A Room to Grow for Elia
Name: Baby Elia
Location: Montreal, Canada
Her special place to retreat to for years to come is finally done. I wanted a space that would grow with her - something timeless and not too pink on pink on more pink.
I tend to stay away from the typical childlike colors, wallpapers, fabrics and decorating accessories. Instead I opted for feminine elements that won't need to be replaced in two years - objects and accessories that are also pleasing to the adult eye.
Given that this was previously my son's room, there were certain things I had to work with such as paint colours, rug, furniture and window treatments. All I did was repaint two of the stripes on the wall in two different colors pulled from the fabric on the curtains. I worked with some leftover wallpaper from the office for her bulletin board, had a band of fabric sewn onto the existing curtains, added a girly butterfly mobile above her bed, and painted a couple of the leaves on her chandelier in pink and lavender.
I can only hope she will enjoy her special little place as much as I did putting it together.
Thanks, Karla! Readers, you can see more of Karla by visiting her blog, One with Design.

SACRED HEART (2-8) vs. Maine (6-5)
GAME 11 * Fairfield, Conn. * William H. Pitt Center * 2:00 PM *
Video Live Stats Full Game Notes
Setting the Scene... The Sacred Heart women's basketball team is hoping their first ever win over the Maine Black Bears is also their first home win of the season as the teams meet for the first time Sunday in the William H. Pitt Center. The Pioneers are looking to snap a six-game losing streak after falling to Hartford 70-64 last weekend, while Maine is riding the momentum of last week's 72-58 win over Towson.
Series Notes... This is the first meeting between Sacred Heart and the Maine Black Bears.
SHU Against the America East... The Pioneers are 38-49 against the America East
- The Pioneer were 0-1 in 2012-13 against the America East falling to Stony Brook on the road 51-46
- Sacred Heart has winning records against Albany (9-6), Binghampton (4-2) and Stony Brook (11-5)
- SHU has losing records against UMASS-Lowell (8-28), Hartford (5-6) and Vermont (0-1), and is even
with New Hamshire (1-1)
- The only America East teams Sacred Heart have never faced are UMBC and Maine
The Head Coaches... Jessica Mannetti is in her first season as a collegiate head coach when the Pioneers tip-off in 2013-14. She comes to Sacred Heart after spending the past four seasons as an assistant coach at Hofstra University on Krista Kilburn-Steveskey's staff. While at Hofstra, Mannetti helped guide the Pride to a 72-55 record as well as a pair of appearances in the WNIT... Richard Barron begins his third year with the Black Bears, and his 13th overall season as a head coach. With two year's under his belt at Maine, Coach Barron has already made significant steps forward with the Black Bear women's basketball program. In his second season with Maine, Barron worked to develop one of the youngest squads in all of NCAA basketball. His first recruiting class welcomed nine student-athletes to the Black Bears, led by freshman forward Liz Wood who Barron helped develop into the America East Co-Player of the Year.
Up Next... Sacred Heart kicks off Northeast Conference play in the new year, hosting Saint Francis U in a rematch of last year's semifinal on January 4 at 2:00 p.m.

It's an answer that only an expert can give and Trish Stratus certainly qualifies. Just why is wrestling so darn popular? If any proof is required, there are about 16,000 rabid fans expected at Rexall Place tonight for World Wrestling Entertainment's Backlash pay-per-view event.
Additional evidence comes from the fact that more than 500 people were lined up around the top floor of Kingsway Garden Mall yesterday hoping to score an autograph from Canada's queen of the ring.
"It's a great escape from everyday," reasoned Stratus who chatted with the Sun before a Nintendo-sponsored meeting with her fans at EB Games.
"The great thing is we have these great characters that tell stories that people can relate to. And the characters, people can really relate to. You have the bad girl who someone may not necessarily be, but they want to be. We have a wide array of characters and we tell stories physically in the ring so it's action-packed and exciting."
The world of professional wrestling has often been characterized as a soap opera for men. True enough, figured Stratus, but it's not nearly as gender-specific as it once was, thanks in large part to the enhanced talent level of WWE's ladies.
"The interest is growing in the women's division because the women are going out there and doing what the men do," said the five-foot-four blond beauty, who was voted Diva of the Decade by WWE fans.
"I'm seeing a lot more females in the audience and there's a lot of younger girls who are looking up to the women as role models because we're athletic, we're sexy and strong. It's a cool thing to have those role models out there and to see women making it in a male-dominated world.''
The Toronto native, who will be teaming up with "love interest" Christian against the jilted Chris Jericho tonight, has graciously accepted the role model duties, whether they've meant meeting her devotees in person or answering their vast array of queries on her popular website (trishstratus.com).
"As long they recognize what we do on principle - the hard work and effort that we put into our job - I don't mind being that kind of role model," said Stratus, who is thrilled with her new challenges that being a "heel'' (bad guy) brings to her character.
"Female fans come to me knowing our lifestyle is to be fit and athletic so I've taken that and tried to use it as a platform to talk to women from my following before as a fitness model. I get so much feedback I've a section on the website devoted to training and Nu -Trish-on."

north shore, gooseberry, taylors falls, the bluffs, don't know of any good ice down by you but I'm sure you'll find it. Look for river gorges. The sip and the croix both have spots up and down for good climbing. If the wind gods and the snow gods and the temp gods get together just so... you'd be surprised what you will find.

NEW YORK (AP) — Yoenis Cespedes certainly made his mark at the All-Star game — and he's not even on the roster.
Actually, it was a dent.
Oakland's second-year slugger won baseball's Home Run Derby with a dazzling display of power Monday night, becoming the first player left out of the Midsummer Classic to take home the crown.
Cespedes beat Bryce Harper 9-8 in the final round at reconfigured Citi Field, hitting the decisive drive with five swings to spare. The outfielder from Cuba flipped his bat aside and raised his left arm in triumph when he sent his 32nd homer of the night some 455 feet to center field, where it caromed off the back wall of the black batter's eye.
He was swarmed by the American League All-Stars near the third base line.
Robinson Cano, New York Yoenis Cespedes, Oakland Chris Davis, Baltimore Prince Fielder, Detroit National League

Tonight is the MLB All-Star Game, starting at 6:30 p.m.

WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama was Friday to name Harvard professor Elizabeth Warren to set up a powerful new consumer protection office, part of this year's Wall Street reforms, the White House announced.
"Warren will play the lead role in setting up the Bureau and ensuring it is as effective as possible," the White House said.
"Warren will also advise the president on policies and programs that are designed to protect the financial interests of middle class families."
Rather than name Warren to head the consumer body, the White House said she will play a key role in setting it up, a designation that avoids a Senate confirmation battle over the controversial consumer advocate who has drawn Republican fire on Capitol Hill.
In remarks prepared for the announcement later Friday, Obama hailed the new consumer body.
"Never again will folks be confused or misled by the pages of barely understandable fine print that you find in agreements for credit cards, mortgages, and student loans," he said.
"Basically, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will be a watchdog for the American consumer, charged with enforcing the toughest financial protections in history," he said.

10 Pantry Staples Not To Be Caught Without
We've talked in the past about a few ingredient staples that help us get dinner on the table faster. Here are a few more great pantry staples (no fridge, no freezer stuff here) that will help you throw meals together at a moment's notice.
The list below includes several of the basics from our own kitchen pantry, with a few notable omissions. We'd like to think that most people will have the following on hand: kosher salt, black pepper, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, flour and sugar. Without these items, many dishes are doomed from the start, so if you're just starting to build a pantry, make sure you always have these items as well.
Here are a few more of our must-have ingredients that have bailed us out of "we don't have anything to eat, let's just go out" more than once:
1. Pasta: Although it's easy to get pasta-ed out when you're saving your pennies, having a bag or box in the back of your pantry is always helpful. There isn't a meat or vegetable that can't be combined with pasta to make a meal. It's literally as simple as that.
2. Canned Tomatoes: Though we prefer canned tomatoes from the summer harvest, canned tomatoes are a staple for many a chili or sauce. They're easy to toss into soups, stews and sauces. We love whole tomatoes as they always seem to have a little extra flavor that you don't get with pre-diced or chopped.
3. Coconut Milk: A can or two of this creamy deliciousness can make any meat into a curry in a snap, plus it's also great at thickening or in desserts. If it still feels a little odd to call a basic, check out these recipes which will make you a convert.
4. Beans: Although we stock dry beans, canned is just fine. They can be tossed into soups, salads, ground into hummus or added to ragu style dishes. They're shelf stable protein and that… that we love. If you're new to working with dry beans, here's how (and it doesn't even require an overnight soak!).
5. Rice: Choose whatever rice you eat most often and always have an extra bag on hand. Rice on its own with a little butter and salt isn't a bad way to end a day, but it can be dressed up with leftovers or whatever bit of meat and veg you have lurking in the back of your fridge.
6. Peanut Butter: Even though we grind our own peanut butter at the local grocery store, that doesn't mean we don't have a jar of the storebought stuff lurking in the back of the pantry. Sandwiches are always an option, but peanut butter can also be added to sauces, dips, desserts and more to give a rich flavor that doesn't taste like you just "threw something together at the last minute."
7. Stock or Broth: Although we make our own, the supply does dwindle from time to time. Look for no salt or low salt and organic options at the store to ensure you're getting only what you want from it — a rich taste to add depth to your cooking.
8. Pouch Albacore Tuna: Yes tuna in a can is less expensive, but it really lacks when it comes to taste (and other health and safety concerns). Look for water-packed tuna in a pouch and add it to a salad, patty it up, make a sandwich, or add it to a casserole.
9. Raisins: These small sweet snacks can be a little bit of brightness in the back of your pantry and although you might not get the hankering for them every day, they can make a bare pantry truly shine. Add them to salads, tuna or chicken salad sandwiches, eat them as they are or toss them into baked goods. We prefer golden, but many prefer the traditional dark variety.
10. Boxed Cereal: Even though this isn't traditionally considered an ingredient it can be a meal all in itself. Cereal is an acceptable dish for any time of day though it can be ground up and used as coating for fish, chicken or shrimp, or tossed in meatloaf for a little body, or even sprinkled on top of your next mystery casserole for a little crunch.
Do you have a pantry staple we didn't cover? Mushrooms? Olives? Artichoke hearts? Let us know below!

TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By News Release Email According to the research, the DeLaval Clover™ liner performs with a low level of mouthpiece chamber (MPC) vacuum. This result, not typical for a triangular-shaped liner like DeLaval Clover, is possible due to its patented design which eliminated the need for a mouthpiece vent. Presented last month at the National Mastitis Council's annual meeting in Fort Worth, Texas, the study also found the vacuum level of DeLaval Clover liner to be 33 percent more stable compared to the vented Milkrite® Impulse® IP3-LM-MV liner. Low, stable MPC vacuum is essential for good teat health and optimal milking performance. "The study showed a 1.4 inch Hg (4.7kPa) difference in mouthpiece chamber vacuum fluctuation, favoring the DeLaval Clover liner," said Nathan Brown, Solution Manager, Milk Extraction, DeLaval Inc. "Its more stable vacuum levels mean less liner slips and squawking and a more comfortable milking experience for the cow – all great catalysts for better milk yields." The DeLaval Clover liner features large, rounded corners to keep the milk flowing and its thin side walls optimally massage the teats. The new shape eliminates the need for a mouthpiece vent while still delivering both gentle milking as well as high milking performance. Mouthpiece vents are susceptible to gathering manure and other debris, which can enter the milking system and possibly increase bacteria and somatic cell counts. Source: DeLaval Back to news

Connections 1.0, which was revealed in July, was demonstrated recently at an event in Silicon Valley and will become available sometime in mid-October at $30 per month, per person for a desktop connection and $100 per month for a room-sized connection.
While LifeSize is competing with HD video conference systems from such vendors as Polycom and Cisco Systems, one selling point Logitech emphasizes with LifeSize Connections is that meetings can be scheduled on the fly. While some video conference systems feature a reservation system in which an organizer selects participants and sends them an invitation to log on at a certain time and date, LifeSize allows an organizer to contact people by phone, instant messaging, or email to invite them to join a meeting that may be already underway.
[Three out of four companies are expected to be using video conferencing in the next few years. Here are some of the reasons why.]
"We don't have to do pre-established meetings. With our approach it's much more dynamic. It's very much like with phones and IM," said Scott Lomond, vice president and general manager of Logitech's SightSpeed business, which Logitech acquired in 2008 for $30 million. SightSpeed delivers the session initiation protocol (SIP)-based cloud networking capabilities that integrate with the video communications platform from LifeSize Communications, which Logitech acquired in 2009 for $405 million.
The management platform for LifeSize Connections enables a meeting organizer to scroll through a directory of employees to include in a meeting. For a participant outside the company asked to join as a guest, the organizer sends him or her an email invitation and a link to download the LifeSize Connections desktop client.
For now, Connections is limited to PC and Mac computers, said Lomond, does not integrate with unified communications platforms like Microsoft SharePoint or Lync, and does not support smartphones or tablets running either Apple iOS or Google Android, although they are all on the road map.
Android and Apple support will come through Logitech's acquisition of Mirial in July.
Polycom, meanwhile, began shipping in July a video conferencing system preinstalled with Microsoft Lync.
Lomond says LifeSize Connections democratizes video conferencing by delivering it as a cloud service so customers, including small-to-medium businesses (SMBs), can avoid the capital and operating expensive of building their own network a la Cisco TelePresence, which can run to hundreds of thousands of dollars per location.
"Customers would come to us and they would say, 'We love your room systems. We're fascinated by the infrastructure products you have ... but we don't want to run any of that ourselves. We don't have the IT bench depth to take that on right now. What do you have for us that we get all the benefits of that but you're running it for us?'" he said.
The LifeSize Connections offering is entering a dynamic market for business and enterprise video conferencing, said Robert Poe, principal analyst with VoIP Evolution, a research firm, who lauded the ad hoc nature of its meeting set-up.
"Even with some of the hot new start-ups [in video conferencing] that the VCs are funding, they are very conventional reservation-based systems," Poe said.
Video conferencing is growing due to a number of factors, he continued, noting the impact of Cisco TelePresence on the high end of the market, the popularity of Skype for low-end video conferencing, and the acceptance of voice-over-Internet Protocol (VoIP) voice communications. "People are getting used to the fact that you can have a business grade service in the cloud," Poe said. "SMBs are saying 'If I don't do this am I going to be at a competitive disadvantage?'"

Ancient Ones Of Beef BasinPosted in Events on February 7, 2014
In the years before and after 1100, a tribe of Native Americans lived in Beef Basin. They have since been named the Anasazi and are frequently referred to as "The Ancient Ones." They survived by growing fields of corn, beans, and squash and inhabited striking, finely crafted structures. Those facts are impressive considering it was going on 400 years before Columbus was born. At this period, Europeans thought the world was flat and had not even imagined another continent existed halfway around the planet.
Their homes were built using materials obtained from the land. Most were made of rocks and stones with floors and ceilings made from logs, sticks, and brush. Some were very small, and others were several stories high, similar to an apartment building. The Ancient Ones mostly built their homes into cliffs. Amazingly, many of those structures still stand.
The existence of The Ancient Ones is as much of a mystery as the pyramids. At a time when most natives lived in tents, where did this group come from? How were they able to engineer entire cities so structurally different from anyone else around them? The biggest mystery of all is what happened to them? They simply vanished from the pages of history, leaving their cities vacant.
Beef Basin does not contain large cities of dwellings like the ones found in the Four Corners of Utah, Colorado, Arizona, and New Mexico. It was as isolated from such cities in the 1100s as it is today. That isolation is much of its appeal to backcountry explorers like Lone Writer and his friends.
Beef Basin is unique in that very little has changed in the past 1,000 years. Roads have been carved into the mountains and desert to provide vehicle access, but they demand high-clearance vehicles to travel them safely. To take the northern access through The Needles District of Canyonlands National Park, you must cross Elephant Hill. Although Lone Writer does not consider Elephant Hill extremely difficult, he must concede many dozens of vehicles have been severely damaged attempting to get from one side to the other.
My favorite access to Beef Basin is via a National Forest route called Gooseberry Road. First, though, we stop in Blanding, Utah, for gas and supplies. A major consideration for entering Beef Basin is how much gas to bring along. For this last trip, each vehicle carried 8 to 10 gallons in additional fuel. That was only enough for three nights and four days, counting the trip in and out of the basin.
Beef Basin is not a good place to make stupid mistakes. Lone Writer and his son, Gadget, got the prize on that one for this trip. It took teamwork and split-second timing, but they managed to do the unthinkable. Gadget left the keys in the ignition and stepped out of the Liberty closing the door behind him. At that same instant, Lone Writer bumped the lock button as he exited the other side and closed the door behind him. Yup! They were locked out.
An auto club is highly unlikely to make good on its promise to provide lockout assistance here. Since there is no cell service in Beef Basin, calling for lockout assistance wouldn't work anyway. There was always the option of busting out a window, but the roads are extremely dusty in the summer, so driving with a busted window was not too appealing.
Lone Writer remembered poking at the embers of a campfire the night before with a wire coat hanger found in the pit before the fire was started. Sundance volunteered to drive back to camp and get the coat hanger. Gadget has had some experience with door locks from his work, so he unlocked the door. What was previously an emergency became a campfire tale, but we lost a couple hours time in that transition.
Finding cliff dwellings in Beef Basin is not much of a challenge. There are a lot of them. Nearly every road leads to one. Some require a hike at the end, and some are best viewed using binoculars. Lone Writer calls the biggest one "Showcase Ruin," which is located in Beef Basin Wash. Another favorite that has an upper and lower level is dubbed "Double Decker." Those two are at the top of the list of places to visit on any trip into the basin.
The area called Ruin Park has one huge farmhouse structure, as well as several smaller ones. Some of the roads have been closed, and you must hike in to access the ones on those roads. A historic information sign has been placed at the farmhouse ruin to explain the activities that once took place there.
No doubt, Lone Writer and his pals will return to Beef Basin, but probably not this year. For now, our border-to-border Outlaw Trail Project takes priority. The trail crosses the country from Canada to Mexico, primarily on backcountry roads. We are connecting locations used as hideouts to the sites of bank and train robberies.

A native of Virginia, Pam Kelly taught in the Milford School District for 35 years before retiring in 2002.
A native of Virginia, Pam Kelly taught in the Milford School District for 35 years before retiring in 2002. Forty years ago, she became a founding member of the local chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa, an international sorority of women educators that conducts numerous community outreach programs. Today, the chapter has about a dozen members from the Milford, Lake Forest and Indian River school districts.
Q How did the Epsilon chapter of Alpha Delta Kappa gets its start?
A Epsilon Chapter got its start on Dec. 9, 1972, when we received our charter from the international organization in Kansas City, Miss. Teachers in the Milford School District were approached by the Delta chapter in Dover, who took us under their wing. In order to be a member, you had to have three years of experience in education and be invited to become a member. There were ten charter members of Epsilon chapter. I am the only one who is still a member. Today, you can be a member with two years in education.
Q What is it about the organization that has kept you active?
A I have stayed involved at the local, regional and international levels because of the wonderful friendships I've developed, the quality of the teachers who are members, and the altruistic projects that make up all levels of our organization. Being a member and serving in many offices and presenting workshops to help educate our members has provided me with the opportunity to travel and meet so many people. Also, being a member helped make me a better teacher when I was in the classroom.
Q What are the benefits of joining the sorority?
A We like to say that you can travel to any state and several foreign countries and you will always have a "sister" who will invite you for a visit or pick you up at the airport. I strongly feel that the things we do for others at the local, state and international levels make me a better person while helping others in so many ways.
Q What do you see in the chapter's future?
A We have seen a membership drop at all levels in Alpha Delta Kappa. I feel that the drop in membership is due to the demands on our teachers in our classrooms relating to high-stakes testing and the regulations that must be met. Also, educators have families and so they have to make sacrifices. Unfortunately, great organizations like Alpha Delta Kappa, which provides support and opportunities to educators, are often the first to be sacrificed. Hopefully, we will change as an organization and provide such great opportunities for our educators that they will want to become and stay a member.

The writer's identity must remain anonymous.
"As the parent of a child accused of rape last year, it is hard to begin to explain the grief, torment, and agony of seeing him being plastered all over the news, Google, and numerous other sites. People have no idea how families are affected by this. Anoymous emails sent to family members and on and on. Humiliation unimaginable knowing that friends and aquaintances can find out in less than a second by just trolling the internet. At times the pain has been so unbearable I felt I could not go on. Only by the grace of God and my children am I still on this earth.
"I do not know if he is innocent or guilty but he has already been deemed guilty by the public. Reading the comments by readers is unbearable. I would like to scream the injustice, but I know this would only fuel the frenzy of this mob-like mentality. He was just let go from a job, even though he was the best there, because it didn't look "good" for the company. No really, "tuff crap dude you are on your own." He now has no money, so where does that leave him in his ability to eat, pay his rent, attorney, etc?
"This is the most horrendous nightmare a parent could ever experience. Perhaps knowing that there is not a damn thing I can do is the worst feeling of all. His claims of innocence haunt me day and night. It is just too much to comprehend and I hope that one day our justice system will realize the extreme suffering endured by the family of the accused. Someone has to stop this madness. Guilty until proven innocent is never what our forefathers intended."

After spending several hours making the mole sauce I was a little drained and even though I wanted to get into the mole sauce right away, I wanted something nice and easy. Simply simmering some chicken breasts in the mole sauce has to be one of the quickest and easiest ways to enjoy and it sacrifices nothing in flavor. One of the reasons that I like to simmer the chicken in the sauce is that it helps to ensure that the chicken comes out nice and moist and tender every time and the flavours of the mole sauce start to infuse into the chicken. Although I wanted simple, I could not help but enhance the meal a bit and I served the chicken mole on a bed of refried beans and chipotle squash fritters with a side of cilantro lime rice. The mole sauce with a hint of chocolate goes really well with not only the chicken but with the refried beans and chipotle squash fritters as well. The bright cilantro lime rice helps cut through the flavour packed mole sauce refreshing the palate in between bites. Overall this was one very tasty meal and a perfect way to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!

I am working on a JavaScript that uses variables defined by another program. I sat it up to use periods for barometric pressure and GPS coordinates. Some countries use commas instead of periods. Is there an easy way to have the JavaScript change a variable if it has a comma instead of a period to a period but also to not mess it up if it already has a period?
For example:
var l = 39.4259
var r = 30.06
Now if the program is sat to use commas (changing those to 39,4259 and 30,06) how can I change those commas to periods only when commas are used?
function nocommas(val){return parseFloat(val.replace(/,/,'.'));}
var l = nocommas('39,4259');
alert('l = '+l+'; type of l = '+typeof l);
you welcome
