The trek continues through the dry arid landscape to Kagbeni, a fascinating historical fortress town. The trail back follows the Kali Gandaki River to Jomsom (optional fly out here) beneath the shadow of immense Himalayan peaks and through the deepest canyon in the world. You descend to Tatopani before ascending to Ghorepani and Poon Hill for some tremendous sunrise views of both the Dhaulagiri and Annapurna Himal. A further two days are spent trekking through beautiful rhododendron bamboo and oak forests before eventually reaching Nayapul for a short drive to the beautiful lakeside town of Pokhara. This trek is considered to be the classic Nepalese experience featuring vast bio-diversity and the cultural heritage that Nepal is renowned for.
DAY 1: Arrival in Kathmandu
Our airport representative will meet you at the Kathmandu airport then arrange the necessary transfer to the hotel. For this trek we select a centrally located 3-star hotel in the city and leave the rest of the evening for you to explore the city
DAY 2: Sightseeing in Kathmandu
Today our professional tour guide will bring you to visit the major monuments and cultural attractions of the Kathmandu valley, most notably the Kathmandu Darbar square and Swyambhunath Stupa. In the evening we will use the time to prepare for our final trekking departure.
DAY 3: Kathmandu to Bahundanda (1305m/5hrs)
Today we drive along the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway to Dumre and then follow a narrow and paved road by the Marsyangdi River to Besi Sahar. After Lunch at Besishaar we continue our drive to Nagdi and then walk for two hours to reach Bahundanda.
DAY 4: Trek Bahundanda to Chamje (1410m)
A steep trail descends for nearly half an hour and then follows a flat path through rice terraces, before crossing a stream at the bottom of a small waterfall. The trail then climbs again and traverses the hillside high above the river before reaching the village of Lali Gaon. Ahead, the Marsyangdi Valley forms a steep V-shape, and we follow the winding mountain path down through Syange (1100m) where there is a beautiful waterfall above it and along the river for some distance. The trail then climbs steeply and the path is cut into the sheer cliff-face some 200-300 meters above the riverbed. Eventually we descend to the stone village of Jagat (1330m) situated on a shelf, which juts into the precipitous Marsyangdi Valley. Now the trail begins to observe small ups and down to Chamje through the forests.
DAY 5: Trek Chamje to Dharapani (1960m)
The first part of the trail descends to the river and after crossing a suspension bridge, we begin a climb to Sattale (1550m) on a path so steep that it seems one slip would send you hurtling down into the valley. From there we continue on an undulating path above the river, and at one point, where a tributary flows in from the opposite bank, the main river becomes covered with huge boulders that hide the water. Climbing the zigzag path to the top of the hill, we see the level, plain of Tal extend before us. Though cliffs enclose it, the level area looks reassuring after the harrowing mountain paths we just traveled. From there we descend to a grassy riverbank, which leads to Tal with its hotels and teahouses. Beyond Tal, the valley narrows and the path becomes high and winding and in several areas hewn from the rock itself. Beyond the small village of Karte (1900m), there is a bit more cliff walking before the path drops again to the river. Finally to reach our camp we cross a suspension bridge, and climb the short distance to the stone kani marking the entrance to Dharapani (1960m) the location where we camp for the night.
DAY 6: Trek Dharapani to Chame (2675m)
As you cut through a narrow field from the village, the Dudh Khola, which originates from the south face of Manaslu, enters on the opposite bank. The Marsyangdi then veers to the left, and as Annapurna II becomes visible ahead, you arrive at Bagarchhap, a Bhote village with prayer flags fluttering in the breeze around the Buddhist monastery. From there we continue to trek through forests of pine and oak until we pass through Danaque at 2210 meters. Here we come to a small wooden bridge which takes you to follow a steep ascending path up to Timang. The bridge lies at the bottom of Lamajung Himal. The trail then goes through a flat level area until we reach Chame where there are government offices, shops, and hotels. Chame is the administrative headquarters for the Manang district.
DAY 7: Trek Chame to Pisang (3150m/5hrs)
With Lamjung Himal (6893m) sparkling in the morning sun, we set off for Pisang. The mountain disappears as we climb the path up the valley, passing a huge apple orchard along the way. From there we continue through a fir and pine forest, climbing to a high, rocky area as the opposite bank becomes an impassable cliff. From this point the valley becomes extremely steep on both sides as we follow the path to Bhratang (2950m). In the past this was the military station for troops who fought against the Khampa tribal revolution, but the dilapidated buildings are all that remains of that era. A short climb from the village brings us to a rock-strewn area where you cross a wooden bridge and follow a high, winding path, before crossing back to the right bank again. We now walk through a pine forest and as the forest ends, the valley changes from a V-shape to a gentle U-shape, opening up a wonderful vista before us. From here we can see the east peak of Annapurna II as well as Pisang Peak (6091m) to the northeast. Continuing on, we come to a long mani wall by a bridge and the lower village of Pisang.
DAY 8: Trek Pisang to Manang (3440m)
Beyond Pisang, the trail climbs a steep ridge, which affords good views of the Manang Valley and Tilicho Peak (7145m). Descending past Manang's airstrip at Hongde (3320m.), we come to a level area where the northeast face of Annapurna III rises majestically above you. From the wide plains of the Sabje Khola Valley, Annapurna IV (7525m) also becomes visible. Just beyond this point we cross the considerably reduced flow of the Marsyangdi Khola via a wooden bridge to the tiny village of Mungji. Cultivated fields appear on both sides of the path and off to the right, below a craggy mountain, you can see the village of Bryaga with its splendid monastery. Large chortens and mani walls abound and the tall peaks of the Himalaya spread out before us - Annapurna II, Annapurna III, Annapurna IV, Gangapurna (7455m) and, to the rear, Tilicho Peak (7145m). After a short steep climb you reach Manang, which is a surprisingly large village for this remote mountain region. You camp here for the night, amidst the fluttering prayer flags, which adorn the houses.
DAY 9: Acclimatization day in Manang
Today we spend the day acclimatizing in splendid Manang.
DAY 10: Trek from Manang to Yak Kharka (3900m)
Now the trail ascends gently all the way to Yak Kharka passing through the village of Gunsang (3960m). En route, we can see the amazing panoramic views all the day. The trek follows the Marshyangdi river gorge through lush fields of paddy then to the high arid
DAY 11: Trek from Yak Kharka to Thorong Phedi (4420m)
Leaving Yak Kharka, we climb gradually to a ridge before descending to the headwaters of the Marsyangdi to cross via a covered wooden bridge. After a short ascent up the mountain path on the right bank, we follow a narrow trail across an unstable spree slope and then descend to Thorung Phedi.
DAY 12: Trek Thorong Phedi to Muktinath (3850m) via Thorong La
Today we start early to cross Thorung La (5416m). The trail becomes steep immediately after leaving camp but local people have used this trail for hundreds of years making the path well defined. The gradient then eases and after around 4 hours of steady climbing, we reach the chorten and prayer flags of the pass. The views are dramatic to say the least, from the snow-covered mountains above, to the head of the Kali Gandaki valley below and the brown and purple hills of Mustang, which are spread out before us. The descent to Muktinath is a knee pounding 1600m but the time passes quickly with excellent views of Dhaulagiri. Eventually the moraines give way to grassy slopes before a pleasant walk along the Jhong Khola Valley to Muktinath and its shrines and temple.
DAY 13: Trek Muktinath to Kagbeni (2895 m/3hrs)
You now begin the descent down the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge, initially through arid country in the same geographical and climatic zone as Tibet. After passing through Jharkot and Khingar villages with their typical Tibetan architecture, we follow a steep path down to Kagbeni, a primitive village famous for Tibetan architecture. People living there follow the Tibetan customs and traditions. Here a monastery is situated that is said to date to back to the 15th Century. Kagbeni is also along the border of Upper Mustang.
DAY 14: Trek Kagbeni to Marpha (2650m)
Today we begin to travel along the flat path on the bank of the dramatic Kali Gandaki Gorge until we reach Marpha. Marpha is a large village filled with a Buddhist Monastery in between the village which has its own cultural importance. It is also rich in cultivating apples. The apple brandy available there is famous among the locals and travelers alike.
DAY 15: Marpha to Tatopani
Today we take a four wheel drive vehicle as there is already a road here. Tatopani is a natural hot-spring at the riverbed of Kaligandaki where we can relax sitting for the day.
DAY 16: Trek Tatopani to Ghorepani (2853 m)
Today the trail passes through a flat level of the land for a distance. Then the trail begins ascending steeply for at least one hour. Today the path goes up through different villages inhabited by the people of different castes and agricultural land. The majority of the people here serve Gorkha Regiment and Indian Regiment as well. While trekking you cross through the Kali Gandaki river with panormic view of Dhaulagiri and Annapurna ranges.
DAY 17: Trek Ghorepani to Hille (1430m)
Today we take an early morning trip to the top of Poon Hill (3232m) to enjoy the sunrise view over Mt. Dhaulagiri, Tukuche Peak, Nilgiri, Varaha Shikhar, Mt. Annapurna I, Annapurna South, Annapurna III, Machhapuchhre, Annapurna IV, Annapurna II, Lamjung Himal and other numerous snowcapped mountain peaks. After breakfast, we follow a gradually descending path through the forests of rhododendron and oak upto Banthanti. It is a small village where we break for hot and cold drinks. Then the trail descends to Ulleri (1960m), a big Gurung village from where we can enjoy the view of Annapurna South, Machhapuchhre and Hiunchuli. From here the trail up to Tirkhedhunga descends steeply passing terraces and some villages along the way. After a short walk of 15 minutes from Tirkhedhunga, we reach Hille. There is also a small Gurung village with surrounding green hills. Most of the inhabitants of this village are occupied in agriculture.
DAY 18: Trek from Hille to Nayapul and then Pokhara
This day's trek gradually descends following Bhurung Khola (Bhurung Stream) all the way to Birethanti before we cross the Modi Khola over the suspension bridge. We pass by amazing small villages to see the magnificent waterfalls and walk through the sparse forests nearby.
DAY 19: Drive to Kathmandu
Today we head up to Damauli, Dumre, Muglin and Kurintar where Nepal's first cable car is operates to reach Manakamana Temple. En route, you could enjoy the mountain views, green sceneries, rice terrace fields, vegetable fields and people being engaged in their daily life activities. From Naubishe you climb up to Thankot, the gateway to the capital city. You can also fly from Pokhara to Kathmandu which takes about 25 minutes

10 Ways Mitt Romney Can Blow the Election — The Funnies
The presidential campaign is in full swing and Mitt Romney is ready to fight. He'd better be careful, though, because there's a fine line between winning over voters and alienating them altogether.
Here are 10 ways Romney can blow the election:
1. Give a speech in which he claims 47% of Americans are "dependent" and "entitled."
2. Run on a platform that gas prices need to be higher.
3. Debate Clint Eastwood's "Invisible Obama."
4. Have Anne Romney challenge Michelle Obama to a Jell-O wrestling match. (She'll lose. Have you seen Michelle's arms?)
5. Drive to the debates with the family dog strapped to the top of his car.
6. Tell business owners how much fun it is to fire people.
7. Get a ringing endorsement from Amanda Bynes.
8. Reveal that due to a clerical error, his running mate turned out to be Paul Ryan when he meant it to be Nolan Ryan.
9. Use the phrase "Obama yo mama" at least once.
10. Make out with Anne Romney in public. (No one wants to see that.)

The finding provides more insight into miRNA as an emerging class of gene regulators and may also pave the way for new approaches in diagnosis and treatment.
The study appears online in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Scientists have only recently begun to understand how important microRNA may be in regulating gene expression. For years, these tiny bits of genetic material went unnoticed - nestled within vast stretches of the genome that appeared to be non-functional. They may have been easy to overlook: miRNAs are usually only 22 or so nucleotides in length - miniscule in size when compared to their cousins, messenger RNA, which can be several hundred to a thousand times that long.
But several years ago, researchers studying roundworms noted that properly functioning miRNA was necessary for normal development. Since then, scientists in laboratories around the world have identified hundreds of miRNAs and found that they are highly conserved over time - meaning that they show up in generation after generation in everything from plants to mice to humans - confirming their important roles in growth and survival.
Carlo Croce, professor and chair of molecular virology, immunology and medical genetics at The Ohio State University and the first researcher to discover miRNA involvement in human cancer, had a hunch that there might be shared patterns of miRNA among certain cancers. Under his direction, researchers looked for miRNA activity, or expression, in 540 samples of lung, breast, stomach, prostate, colon and pancreatic tumors and in the normal tissue surrounding them.
Using microarray technology developed at Ohio State , lead investigators Stefano Volinia and George Calin found 137 different miRNAs expressed in at least half of the cancers, with 43 miRNAs allowing scientists to distinguish the difference between normal and malignant tissue.
Further tests showed that 21 of the distinguishing miRNAs were deregulated in at least three of the cancers - and in some cases, as many as five or all six. The researchers defined this limited set as the "miRNA signature" in solid tumors.
Croce says finding such a signature is important because it shows that many forms of cancer share common genetic pathways that become scrambled as cancer takes hold and spreads. He says narrowing the list of the most active ones provides a guide to directing future research.
"We know that there are hundreds of miRNAs, and some of them may have multiple gene targets. Finding the ones that appear over and over again in various forms of cancer will help us design new and better interventions," says Croce.
MiRNAs can behave like oncogenes, which promote tumor growth, or tumor suppressors, which keep potentially malignant cells in check. Croce points out that miRNA activity is tissue-sensitive, meaning some miRNAs may be overexpressed, or "turned on" in some of the cancers while in others they are underexpressed, or "turned off."
In the six types of cancer in the study, the majority (26) of the miRNAs were overexpressed, while 17 were underexpressed.
Calin and Volinia also identified several key cancer genes the miRNA signature targets, including the tumor suppressors retinoblastoma-1 (RB1) and transforming growth factor, beta receptor 2 (TGFBR2).
Croce predicts that miRNAs themselves may one day be used as treatments. "If we can replace miRNAs that are lost and block those that are overly abundant, then maybe we can prevent some of the very earliest changes that happen in the development of cancer. There is a lot of work that still needs to be done, but I am convinced that this field will give us more precise and less toxic ways of dealing with cancer than we have today - even considering some of our new, molecularly-targeted therapies." Support from the research came from the National Cancer Institute, the Italian Ministry of Public Health, the Italian Ministry of University Research Telethon, the Italian Association for Cancer Research and a Kimmel Scholar award to George Calin.

Digital Paintingsby Simran Singh Gleason
So far my shows here on the Web have been digitIZED pictures of
images I have done in traditional media: photocollage, pastel,
charcoal, and acrylic. Now I have several little series of digiTAL
paintings that were drawn entirely on a computer.
As usual, I have organized the pictures into several pages based on different themes, intent, or cetera.
Bodies, faces, gesture. Two-minute poses, twenty minute poses. These are some of the results of taking my Powerbook (with pressure sensitive tablet) to various life drawing classes and workshops.Drawings and Studies...
Here is a little collection of drawings that originate from ideas, or from doodling & then they take on a life of their own, or perhaps featurebations that graduated to this more respectable page :-)Scrolls
Paintings & drawing in a long horizontal scroll format. Much easier to do digitally than in the field on paper! I've spent some time studying Chinese painting, and really like the long hand scrolls. Because they're so long you only get to see a small part at any given time, and must scroll through it bit by bit as it tells you its story or walks you through its landscape.Plein Air
Drawings done on location. Powerbook on table, tablet in lap. Trying to be inconspicuous. (Ha! Fat chance.)Featurebation...
Of course the first thing I do when I get a new program is play with all the cool features. This tends to result in images that just scream "Aha! Sphere filter..." or something like that. Mostly I'm playing with the charcoal, watercolor, and distorto tools in Painter. And of course a little bit of phunky fotoshop hacquing.
All of these pictures are drawn entirely on one computer or another.
The computers
My main digital drawing "instrument" is a Powerbook 520c (with not enough memory) and a Wacom pressure-sensitive tablet. The screen is passive-matrix, so pretty much only one person (i.e. me) can see it at any given time. Sometimes this is an advantage. It's difficult to show off my work, though.The Software
Fractal Design Painter, Adobe Photoshop, Sun iconedit (huh?), XPaint, xv, ...
I've got several shows coming up this year (1996)
Ongoing... Gallery 92 West in Half Moon Bay, California
This is my "home gallery," where I usually show my work.
April - May, 1996 Jumpin' Java Cafe, Mountain View, California
Not only does this place have a great name, but they've got good taste in artwork t'boot! :-)
September, 1996 La Di Da Cafe, Half Moon Bay, California
This will be my first show of digital paintings on the wall! This means that by September I have to figure out how to print out these things. Dye sublimation, ink jet, Iris prints, perhaps even a large 3x4 foot acrylic-jet on canvas of Body Mural!
More later? Who knows, if I think up some goofy new categories, or
else get mounds of feedback :-)
I might put some more pictures on line.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Problems with the toxic residue of a mold that attacked the 2012 drought-hit U.S. corn crop may worsen this summer and autumn as Midwest farmers blend off tainted supplies held in storage, grain experts say.
The substance, aflatoxin, is a chronic problem in dry, hot southern states like Texas where stressed crops are vulnerable to the mold. But in 2012, the worst U.S. drought in more than half a century extended the aflatoxin threat moved northward into the heart of the Midwest, resulting in the biggest outbreak since the 1980s.
"As we get into summer, you are going to see the worst of it," said Doug Bartlett, co-owner of Midwest Farm Services, an advisory service in Higginsville, Missouri. "We have tight corn supplies and when we get down to the nitty gritty, there is going to be a lot of the aflatoxin left over, and it will have to be blended off into the new crop," he said.
Aflatoxin can sicken humans and animals if ingested and is carcinogenic. So corn users - from pet food and livestock feed makers to vegoil and sweetener producers - test for it, and reject tainted supplies.
Ethanol makers, which consume 40 percent of U.S. corn output, can be even more picky because the aflatoxins concentrate during the distilling process, contaminating dried distillers' grains, a valuable ethanol byproduct sold for feed.
Months after the harvest, aflatoxin continues to cause headaches along the corn supply chain.
"From eastern Kansas across northern Missouri and up into central and southern Illinois - there is an area there that has significant aflatoxin issues," said Charles Hurburgh, an agricultural engineering professor at Iowa State University who specializes in grain quality.
Most of the contaminated corn is now being blended into feed for hogs and beef cattle, large animals that can tolerate low levels of aflatoxin.
Under guidelines from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, certain types of feed can contain an aflatoxin concentration of up to 300 parts per billion. Human foods must contain less than 20 ppb, while the threshold for milk is even lower, at 0.5 ppb.
For the export market, outbound U.S. corn must also test at less than 20 ppb.
Cows that eat tainted corn can pass on aflatoxin through their milk. Dairy processors in the St. Louis area have had to dump loads of milk found to contain elevated levels of aflatoxin, said Max Hawkins, a nutritionist with Alltech, a Kentucky-based feed supplement company.
"Aflatoxin and spring weather - that is their major, major focus right now," Hawkins said.
The mold that causes aflatoxin can spread inside grain storage bins as temperatures rise in spring, creating the potential for a second wave of problems after the initial outbreak at harvest.
"We've already seen some flourishing of the molds that can produce aflatoxin," said Hawkins. "Because corn is in short supply, everybody wants to get every kernel, everything they can out of the bin," Hawkins said.
"As the bin is emptied, those damaged kernels tend to concentrate in the bottom area....There is ample aflatoxin present in many, many storage facilities," Hawkins said.
Several major Corn Belt states, including Iowa, Illinois, Indiana and Nebraska, received temporary approval from the FDA last fall to let grain handlers blend corn containing aflatoxin with clean grain, and some of those states have extended the blending allowances into this summer.
Corn handlers have stepped up testing for aflatoxin but sampling the grain can be difficult since contamination levels vary greatly.
In February, the Hy-Vee Inc grocery chain recalled five product lines of its privately branded dog food due to elevated levels of aflatoxin in the corn used to make the pet food. The products were manufactured at a plant in Kansas City, Kansas.
U.S. corn stocks are historically tight, with the U.S. Department of Agriculture projecting a 17-year low by August 31, the end of the 2012/13 marketing year. Cash corn prices remain strong because buyers are scrambling to cover their needs through the summer and up until the 2013 harvest.
Aflatoxin has complicated that job, forcing some to source grain from farther away.
"It's a difficult year in working through this crop," said Jeffrey Adkisson, executive vice president of the Illinois Grain & Feed Association. "It's probably one of the most challenging years some of our people have had to go through."

This blog post is a somewhat random collection of three pieces relating to women, but wandering as it is, I didn't want to break it apart into their own posts. Yet. I wanted to get my thoughts out there, even if they are somewhat disjointed. I hope you're able to follow along okay.
I read a blog piece entitled "Your Home Birth is Not a Feminist Statement" by a research scientist "named" Isis. I've not read through her blog On Becoming a Domestic and Laboratory Goddess yet, so don't even have a gauge for how feminist she is compared to me. Her post, however, was too important to ignore.
Defining "Feminism" must be done and while many of us have an idea of what it is and if we call ourselves feminists, we certainly have a personal definition, but for a discussion like this, my definition has to be out there.
Wikipedia certainly isn't a reliable resource, but I found a decent description of my feminist beliefs there.
"Feminism is a collection of movements aimed at defining, establishing, and defending equal political, economic, and social rights and equal opportunities for women. Its concepts overlap with those of women's rights. Feminism is mainly focused on women's issues, but because feminism seeks gender equality, some feminists argue that men's liberation is therefore a necessary part of feminism, and that men are also harmed by sexism and gender roles."
I'm in a place of exploring gender roles right now anyway, what with my partner of 25 years recently coming out transsexual (female to male), but I'm clear of my own gender (cisgender being a new term I discovered that means my sex [female] matches my self-identification of [our] societal expectations of a woman) and am comfortable in it. Finding the societal patterns of male and female roles and combining those within the context of childbirth is an on-going project. I'm glad Isis brought it up, but a lot more discussion is needed.
Isis says:
"Home birth as a way to find a loving supportive environment and fight the enslavement of the patriarchy is absolute, utter nonsense. It's one of the only medical scenarios I can think of where women place health and welfare in jeopardy in order to feel "in control" and avoid intervention."
I'm not sure where fighting the "enslavement of the patriarchy" comes in, but women and men are often found to require their medical care be a collaborative adventure instead of a authoritarian one. I've been unfortunate to have a slew of family members, all of whom think I was nuts to birth at home 27 years ago, be sick and dying in the last five years and every single one of them wanted a hand in their care… from choices of medications to take, which treatments to begin or forego, and the ultimate decisions about leaving medical care and entering the world of hospice. Others in their same shoes might have chosen completely differently. I absolutely didn't agree with every decision they made, but they were given the autonomy to decide, up to and including the end. Each of them was in a situation of having very little control and they, too, grasped it where they could. A woman in pregnancy or birth should be permitted the same "luxury" of deciding what her care looks like and where it takes place.
Personal autonomy is the cornerstone of the abortion issue and I am constantly amazed at women who are vociferously for choice believing a woman in birth should not be afforded that same right. Seriously baffling. I haven't yet heard an adequate explanation for the change in thought processes… I simply don't think they exist. On the continuum from 100% Choice of abortion on one side to the other side where there is No Choice for abortion, is there a tipping point I can't see where a pregnant woman moves into the No Choice If She Continues the Pregnancy segment of the line? Who decides where that tipping point is? And why do they get to make that decision. If women are smart enough to make the determination to continue the pregnancy or not, they are certainly smart enough to decide how they want the birth to find completion.
Choice is choice is choice. If one choice is removed, all choices are gone.

I was born in Three Forks, Montana and spent lots of time fishing the three rivers that gave the town its name. Moved to Seattle, Washington for high school and upper education. Of course I didn't let school totally get in the way of fishing the beautiful lakes, streams and rivers of Washington. Took a break from University of Washington to ride the Ferries through the beautiful islands to Bremerton Jr. College for a quarter then back to the U. of W. In my landscapes I hope to reflect the peaceful and warm feelings I have for the time spent on or near the waters edge. I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I have enjoyed painting them.

text: I work for a web hosting provider and I am trying to write a program to migrate multiple ispcofig instances to a single ispconfig target. I'm think I understand the problem. First we have to transfer multiple dbispconfig databases (on a per client basis) from the source systems to one target system. Then it's a matter of migrating the content. It is the first of these that poses the greatest problem for me. The main problem I am encountering is database relationships and ids. Is there any documentation outlining the column definitions for the tables in the dbispconfig database, and what the table ids point to? Exporting and importing each database is obvoiusly not good enough because the relationships would be screwed up. What I am working on is an intelligent way of working out which web domains, which email domains and mailboxes, which ftp accounts, which alias domains, which ssh accounts (it goes on!) are hierarchically subordinate to a single client (or reseller) and moving those from one system to another using a combination of the ispconfig api and mysql calls. It would be a project we are willing to share, but to speed things up it would help no end to know some more about how the ispconfig database works without having to do shit loads of reverse engineering. A lovely schema chart with arrows describing all the relationships would be my dream, but I am aware that this might not exist. If anyone has ideas, knows who would be the best person in the ispconfig team to contact, knows of a similar project, or just feels like exploring themselves, then please post. Good night from Gothenburg, Mark

The story began in 1986, after the Libyan-backed bombing of a nightclub in West Berlin. The attacks were aimed at US servicemen, and ended up killing two and injuring dozens.
President Ronald Reagan's action was swift and precise. He ordered missile attacks on the home of Libya's leader, Muammar Qaddafi.
Muammar Qaddafi survived, but claimed the attacks killed his adopted baby daughter, Hana.
For 25 years, Qaddafi has continually reminded supporters of his daughter's murder and even left the building in ruins as a reminder - and occasionally a backdrop for anti-US speeches. Every chance he could get he would insist that he was a "victim of western military aggression."
The fact that Hana Qaddafi had been killed in the bombing was presented as historical record by the media.
But as rebels stormed one of the Qaddafi family's homes they discovered a room that seemed to belong to Hana. The room contained Hana's birth certificate, photos of a girl with the name "Hana" inscribed in Arabic on the back, as well as a medical exam paper signed "Hana Muammar Qaddafi" in Arabic and medical books belonging to "Dr. Hana Qaddafi."
After contacting the Tripoli Medical Center, Gassem Baruni, head of the center, confirmed to the Associated Press that Dr. Hana Qaddafi worked in surgery but that she disappeared Friday.
"She was very tense and nervous as soon as the revolution started," Mr. Baruni told the AP. "She told me not to treat the rebels, but I told her: 'If we don't treat everyone, it would be a crime.'"
Based on their research, the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag claimed "diplomatic circles in Tripoli have known about Hana's existence for several years."
Regime insiders claimed it was common knowledge that Hana's death was a hoax.
A Libyan diplomat at the UN in Geneva told the German paper, "All Libyans knew from the very beginning that it's a lie," adding that Hana is currently married with children.
When asked why the Swiss had listed Hana on a government watch list of the Qaddafi family in February, a government spokesperson knowingly said, "There are reasons why the name is on the list, which we are not revealing publicly." The name was removed without explanation on Tuesday.
Hana was even reported to have spent time in London as a teenager (neither confirmed nor denied by the MI5).
But could Qaddafi have carried through with that lie for all these years, even commemorating the 20th anniversary of Hana's murder with the "Hana Festival of Freedom and Peace?"
Some in Libya still believe baby Hana was killed. In Libyan culture it is common to name another child after one that previously died. That is exactly what many thought happened, including the country director of the British Council. It was widely believed that Qaddafi had adopted another daughter and renamed her Hana in a tribute to his murdered baby.
Given the propaganda seen in the final days of his regime, it may not be so far fetched that his claims of murder, baby Hana's elaborate funeral in 1986, and even the "Hana Festival of Freedom and Peace" in 2006, were just part of his elaborate propaganda machine.
If this anonymous Internet commentator is to be believed, it is clear the Hana alive today is the one and only Hana Muammar Qaddafi. The commentator claims to have studied with Hana at university: "When I asked who she was, I was told she was Hana Qaddafi, Qaddafi's adopted daughter who was supposedly killed in 1986."

In this project we learned about inheritance. Inheritance is useful because it allows you to define a class and then make new classes similar to that original class with minimal effort. In this project our basic class was one defining a shape, with methods to draw that shape and change its color, and our subsequent child classes made that shape more specific, eg a triangle or square.
We also dealt more with L-systems. We introduced a new feature where multiple rules could occupy one line of an L-system file, and the interpreter chooses one at random to replace the base string. This way we could build trees with natural looking variation. see pic 1:
Next I made several child classes off of the basic, "Shape" parent class. I took a pic of my resulting shapes:
The circle is made with an l-string with 360 "F-", so its really a 360-gon. But its a circle for all purposes here.
Next I drew a house using a combination of my shape objects and draw and setColor methods:
Next I made a mosaic by putting several triangle objects into a function and then iterating that function several times. I made my tile shape a triangle, so I had to include a variable in my tile function to keep track of whether the tile is facing up or down. Using for loops I could draw a tiling of any size across the computer screen.
In this project I learned about objects and how they can be used to simplify code structures. I only had to define one method to draw a scaled, oriented shape that I could use for any shape object I wanted because every new shape class inherits that method. I also learned how randomization can create more naturalistic images.

CANNON BALL, N.D. — When Alma Thunder Hawk moved back to the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation five decades ago, she, her parents and six relatives had to live in a tent on the North Dakota prairie.
Now, with her government-issued trailer uninhabitable, Thunder Hawk moves from house to house among friends in Cannon Ball, the Native American community of less than 1,000 that President Barack Obama will visit Friday. It's his first trip to Indian Country as president and only the third such visit by a sitting president in almost 80 years.
At their pow wow grounds, residents of the reservation that straddles the border between North Dakota and South Dakota plan to show Obama their traditions. But they also hope he sees their issues: the lack of adequate housing, health care and education, among others, that plague the reservation and other parts of Indian Country.
"Around here, they need to do something, especially for the homeless," said Thunder Hawk, who says she hasn't lived in her home, a sheet-metal trailer that's infested with mice and lacks running water, for almost two years. "I can't live in there," she added. "I'm elderly. I've been trying to get help. Nobody will help me."
While it's an honor to host Obama, residents say, they want to hear solutions from the man who as a presidential candidate six years ago declared, "This election is about Indian Country."
Obama has said he wants to hear firsthand about challenges Native Americans face and plans to announce initiatives to help expand Indian economies.
In 2008, he had met privately with about 50 Lakota leaders from across South Dakota, and later spoke about the need to assist communities that have often been betrayed and have had a hard time digging out of poverty. He pledged to expand health services, improve education, combat methamphetamine dealers, promote economic development and improve housing on reservations.
At the Standing Rock Sioux Reservation, some residents said many promises haven't been met.
"He needs to do a study," said local resident Leroy Laundreaux. "I mean actually do a study, not just say he's going to fix the problems, I mean get a committee together and actually address them."
Rev. Buford Marsh, who lives in a trailer behind the mission in Cannon Ball, said housing remains an issue, with too many people and not enough homes, and said drug and alcohol use is still fairly rampant on the reservation, which covers 2.3 million acres.
Duane Uses Arrow, a former Bureau of Indian Affairs officer, said wait times at the local Indian Health Services clinic average about six hours.
"I think the Indian Health Service has taken a step backwards. It hasn't progressed," he said.
Around Cannon Ball, a handful of houses sit with boarded-up windows, stray dogs roam and a group of young men hang out on a back porch in the early afternoon. The aroma of alcohol hangs in the air. A report released in January by the Bureau of Indian Affairs showed about 63 percent of able workers on Standing Rock were unemployed.
"Life on the reservation is tough. It's a struggle," said Edward American Horse.
Still, some on the reservation said they feel Obama has done better than his predecessors.
Ron His Horse is Thunder, an enrolled member of the tribe and its former chairman, said he believes Obama has helped American Indians more than any president since Richard Nixon — helping settle outstanding lawsuits and prosecuting offenders.
Under the Obama administration, the former chairman said, the Department of Justice has made a concerted effort to charge and prosecute more crimes on reservations. Before Obama took office, "basically 50 percent (of cases) were never prosecuted," he said.
The increase in prosecutions in Indian Country since 2009 is "a result of closer working relationships with tribal law enforcement partners," U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder said last week while visiting North Dakota. Holder cited a major drug sting on a North Dakota reservation as one example.
And news of the president's visit has also been inspiring to some. Curtis Brave Bull, a Cannon Ball resident, said he's seen people working to spruce up the town that has seen hard times for many years.
"This is like a ghetto on the prairie, but we now we have to clean things up (for his visit)," said Brave Bull. "Cannon Ball's going to be put on the map," he said. "So maybe something good will come out of it."

That was so messed up…and utterly hilarious.
Wow that didn't take long to start getting parodies.
nice work….I shall miss him so.
I liked it. It reminded me of Peter Davison's regeneration, except that David Tennant was given a longer send-off as a farewell nod to the fans. Both Doctors willingly sacrificed themselves for someone else. Both were given highly emotional endings. And just like Davison's transformation into Colin Baker, Matt Smith appears to be mentally unbalanced right from that first scene. Going by the previews it seems like he's going to be more of an action-oriented Doctor than most of his predecessors.
Love him or not, David Tennant's Tenth Doctor certainly left his mark on the series. He'll be a tough act to follow.
that was totaly hilerious though a little messed up and a nice way to say thanks to David for his time as the Doctor

The cause was a heart attack, said Rosemary Carroll, his former wife.
A cult figure who discovered his gifts and his vices at an early age, Carroll began attracting serious attention as a writer when he was barely into his teens. He was praised by such literary icons as Allen Ginsberg, William Burroughs and Jack Kerouac, who said that Carroll at 13 "writes better prose than 89% of the novelists working today."
"The Basketball Diaries" was a collection of autobiographical stories that had been excerpted in literary magazines before Carroll put them into book form. It begins with a 1963 entry describing his excitement at playing his first game in a basketball league, but Carroll quickly establishes that he is no choirboy, detailing how his coach gropes him, how he snatches purses from elderly women, how he gets high sniffing cleaning fluid on the ferry and vomits all over a "fantastically huge man" on the deck below. The tale grows darker as it chronicles his descent over the next few years into heroin addiction, which he supports through prostitution.
The book hit bestseller lists when it was made into a movie in 1995 starring Leonardo DiCaprio. At book signings with DiCaprio, however, "it was Carroll the crowds clamored for," Lewis MacAdams wrote in Entertainment Weekly.
Carroll was born in New York City on Aug. 1, 1949, the son and grandson of Irish American bartenders. His parochial school teachers nurtured his talent for writing by encouraging him to keep a journal, but his talent on the basketball court also attracted attention. He won a scholarship to Trinity High, an elite private school on Manhattan's Upper West Side, won all-city honors as a high-scoring guard on the school team, and, at 18, published his first collection of poems, "Organic Trains" (1967).
Poet Ted Berrigan, writing in the journal Culture Hero in 1969, proclaimed that Carroll was "the first truly new American poet." That year, the Paris Review published pieces from what would become "The Basketball Diaries." Desiring to write full time and experimenting heavily with drugs, Carroll dropped out of Wagner College and Columbia University and joined the downtown art scene, working for pop artist Andy Warhol.
In the early 1970s he was living in an artists' colony in Bolinas, Calif., where he kicked his heroin habit. During this period he met his future wife, Rosemary Klemfuss a law student who later became his lawyer. They were married in 1978, the year "Basketball Diaries" was published.
The couple divorced in the late 1980s. Carroll is survived by a brother, Thomas, of Stony Point, N.Y.
After the success of "The Basketball Diaries," Carroll's poet-rocker friend Patti Smith invited him to join her onstage during a West Coast tour. He found the experience so exhilarating that he formed the Jim Carroll Band.
With the help of the Rolling Stones' Keith Richards, Carroll signed a record deal and in 1980 the band released its first album, "Catholic Boy." The best-known track was "People Who Died," a haunting tribute to friends who had died of various causes, including suicide and drug overdoses. Its release coincided with the shooting death of former Beatle John Lennon, which bolstered its popularity. "Not since Lou Reed wrote 'Walk on the Wild Side' has a rock singer so vividly evoked the casual brutality of New York City as has Jim Carroll," Barbara Graustark wrote in Newsweek.
The band released two more albums, "Dry Dreams" and "I Write Your Name," but critics complained about Carroll's vocal limitations. He dissolved the band in the mid-1980s and resumed writing poetry. He made spoken-word recordings, including "Praying Mantis" (1992) and "Pools of Mercury" (1998). He also wrote a second memoir, "The Downtown Diaries" (1987).
He recently completed a second novel that will be published by Viking, Rosemary Carroll said.

It was August 1977 and my plan was to drive up to the Bay Area for three back-to-back national psychology conferences, followed by a week-long meditation workshop with Tarthang Tulku in Berkeley.
I'd recently become licensed as a psychologist at age 28, after earning my marriage and family therapy license at the tender age of 26. Having opened the doors of my private practice in Orange County, I was off and running in an effort to establish myself.
In the lingo of author Carlos Castaneda, I considered Berkeley, and the campus in particular, a "power spot" where good things happened. Having graduated seven years earlier, I'd immersed myself in the hippie zeitgeist of the time: sex, drugs and rock 'n' roll, spiced up with radical politics.
It was during the last of the conferences, held on the campus, that my life changed forever.
After a day of workshops, an evening dance with a live band was scheduled in the auditorium above Sproul Plaza. Just a few minutes after the music begins, I'm standing along a wall, scoping out the scene, as bodies are swaying on the floor dancing. About 30 feet in front of me, I'm suddenly riveted by a gorgeous woman with thick, long, curly dark hair flowing down her back. She has an hour-glass figure, juicy lips and a smile that looks like it could precipitate global warming. She has just brushed off a guy asking her to dance. Without hesitation or thought, I walk over to her and smile.
"You're beautiful." She smiles.
"Are you Jewish?" She nods her head.
"I'm going to marry you." She blushes slightly and giggles.
For a couple minutes, I then move my arms in Tai Chi movements to the pulse of the music. Deborah follows my lead and moves with me. Something bigger than the both of us is happening.
"Let's get out of here," I say.
She follows me out and we walk a short distance down Telegraph Avenue to a restaurant called the Bear's Lair. As we're walking, I take her hand, and we both feel a current through our bodies. After we sit down in a booth, I pull out a vita from my brief case and hand it to her.
"This is who I am," I say, thinking my accomplishments will do my talking for me. In her conference dorm room, on a single bed, we begin the dialogue-dance of getting to know each other that lasts through the night. The second night, she calls her parents and tells them she's met "the one."
The next week, I go to the meditation retreat at the Nyingma Institute while Deborah stays with a friend in San Francisco. Each night, I drive across the Bay Bridge and sleep with her on a mattress on the floor. She calls her job at a psychiatric hospital in Milwaukee and says she's not coming back so fast. We drive down the coast to my mother's house in Woodland Hills after I had called to tell her I met the woman I was going to marry. When we walked in, it was one of the few times in my life that my mother was so shocked she had nothing to say.
We then drive down to Corona del Mar so Deborah can see my rented house. I ask her to come live with me and she says, "I'll live with you only if we're engaged — I have my values." I tell her I will fly back to Milwaukee in a couple of weeks to meet her parents, who end up hastily putting together an engagement party. It's the proverbial whirlwind courtship if there ever was one.
In the next two weeks, Deborah gives up everything — family, job and friends — and comes to Corona del Mar to live with me. We start planning a wedding at a country club in Encino. We design our own rings, I write our vows and choose a white silk shirt with a Nehru collar to be married in. Deborah wears a beautiful long dress that is nowhere near as elaborate or revealing as most of what is fashionable in today's bridal gowns. Having met on Sept. 1, by mid-December we're married and beginning our life together.
Already an art therapist, Deborah goes on to get a second master's degree in psychology and then a doctorate. Today, we practice together in a suite of offices in Newport Beach.
We're now about to celebrate out 35th wedding anniversary. Every anniversary, we repeat our wedding vows. Believe it or not, every month for 35 years we've marked our monthly anniversary in some way. And every day, I try to realize how fortunate I am to have seized the moment when I found my soul mate.
STEVEN HENDLIN is a clinical psychologist and author who lives in Corona del Mar.

Dash Cleanup 101
One of the major things you notice about a classic truck is the interior dash area. If you have followed my project vehicle at all you know that I replaced the stock dash with a 1964 Chevy Nova Dash in the June 2011 issue of CLASSIC TRUCKS.
With that install I ran into a few issues like the underdash structure and the holes all over the dash, so I gave up to work on other items on the truck. I'm slowly picking away at filling the holes in the dash and fixing the underside support braces that I temporarily installed to get the article done.
Every time I got in the truck I thought about filling in the heater control holes, radio, and to hide all the key switches, but after doing a quick search for Nova dashes I was left thinking about where I would put it all. Besides I liked the stock dash configuration, but wanted to smooth the flow of the dash by filling in the ashtray and adding a place for the dash vents.

Google's New Privacy Policy vs. the World
Mar 14, 2012 5:00 AM PT
Even before Google launched its new privacy policy earlier this month, consolidating separate privacy policies for more than 60 applications, legal issues had surfaced.
Now, attorneys general from more than 31 States have accused Google of violating privacy laws because of complaints from users that they were finding ads are popping up on YouTube just after they did a search on Google Maps about the same subject.
EU regulators told Google prior to the launch that the new privacy policy compromises the privacy of EU citizens and violates EU laws.
How Important Is the New Google Privacy Policy?
The overwhelming majority of people in the U.S. and EU use Google every day, so the scope of Google's potential privacy issues is huge. The Pew Research Center reported in August 2011 that 92 percent of all adults in the U.S. use a search engine and email every day. Couple that statistic with comScorce's estimate that Google controls 66.2 percent of the U.S. search engine market and 80 percent of the EU search engine market, and it's clear Google accumulates great volumes of personal search data.
Since Google saves users' searches for 18 months in the U.S. and 12 months in the EU, many government officials are leery of the way Google exploits users' privacy and uses that information to generate more ad revenue. And that's just the search engine side.
There are many other Google applications affected by the new policy, including YouTube, Maps, Mobile, Latitude, Google Voice, Google Docs and many others Google's new privacy policy is relevant to every user, because it allows Google to aggregate information across applications.
So, if you are using Gmail, Google will be able to use information it learns through your emails when you do a search on Google's search engine. For example, if you are logged in to Gmail and also entering data on Google's word processing app, you may get advice about the correct spelling of one of your contacts from Gmail or Google+.
What Personal Information Is Google Using?
Google's new privacy policy applies to all Google services except for Chrome (browser), Books and Wallet (mobile payment processor) , each of which will still be governed by a separate privacy policy. Under the new consolidated privacy policy, Google tracks all activity on Google services of users who are logged in, which provides the data it can share, as mentioned above.
Google includes in its privacy policy a description of Key Terms that includes details about what Google may use to track users, including cookies and IP address. Among other things it can use:
- Anonymous identifier - An anonymous identifier is a random string of characters that used for the same purposes as a cookie on platforms, including certain mobile devices, where cookie technology is not available.
- Server logs - As with most websites, Google's servers automatically record the page requests made when you visit its sites. These "server logs" typically include your Web request, Internet Protocol address, browser type, browser language, the date and time of your request, and one or more cookies that may uniquely identify your browser.
Google suggests its new privacy policy helps users by simplifying the user experience, but if you read it (few people do), you will notice that there are eight or so embedded links that lead to more contractual terms and definitions included in the privacy policy. As a result, you have to read all of the ancillary links, not just the privacy policy alone. So, while it is "simplified," it could be misleading as well.
What's Google Story?
In January, Google announced consolidation of its privacy policies in its official blog:
"So we're rolling out a new main privacy policy that covers the majority of our products and explains what information we collect, and how we use it, in a much more readable way. While we've had to keep a handful of separate privacy notices for legal and other reasons, we're consolidating more than 60 into our main Privacy Policy."
Google went on to say that the new privacy policy will allow a better user experience:
"Our new Privacy Policy makes clear that, if you're signed in, we may combine information you've provided from one service with information from other services. In short, we'll treat you as a single user across all our products, which will mean a simpler, more intuitive Google experience."
As for selling or sharing personal information:
"We don't sell your personal information, nor do we share it externally without your permission except in very limited circumstances like a valid court order.
Google also gives users choices about how the information is used. Of course, users need to read the privacy policy and click on the applicable link to set their preferences.
What Do the Critics Say?
The Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) filed a Motion to enjoin Google from implementing new ToS [Terms of Service] and Privacy Policies early this month. In February, EPIC filed a Motion for Temporary relief against the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to enforce Google's March 2011 Agreement Containing Consent Order, which included the FTC's oversight on Google's privacy policies for 20 years. EPIC's Motion came on the heels of the EU's request that Google slow down the implementation of the new ToS and privacy policies.
EPIC's Motion claims that Google's new ToS and privacy policies violate the FTC Consent Order and includes the following claims: Users will no longer be able to keep personal information they provide to use the Google email service for simply that service; Google will be able to combine the user information provided for email with other Google services, including the Google social network service.
However, a federal court in Washington, D.C., ruled that it did not have the authority to force the FTC to enjoin Google from implementing its new privacy policy and ToS.
EU Claims that Google's New Privacy Policies Violate EU Laws
Although Google claims its new privacy policy helps simplify its privacy rules, the EU claims otherwise, maintaining specifically that the new privacy policy "makes it impossible to understand which purposes, personal data, recipients or access rights are relevant to the use of a specific service."
The EU gave the lead role to investigate Google's new privacy policy to the French Commission nationale de l'informatique et des libertes (CNIL). CNIL states that it "is responsible for ensuring that information technology remains at the service of citizens, and does not jeopardize human identity or breach human rights, privacy or individual or public liberties."
In February, CNIL sent a letter to Google CEO Larry Page (as a follow-up to an earlier letter) complaining that Google failed to properly consult EU authorities about the new Google privacy policies and that the
"...preliminary analysis shows that Google's new policy does not meet the requirements of the European Directive of Data Protection (95/46/CE), especially regarding information provided to data subjects."
The CNIL highlighted the significance of Google's penetration in the EU with the following statistics about Google's usage. Google accounts for
- more than 80 percent of the European search engine market;
- around 30 percent of the European smartphone market;
- 40 percent of the global online video market; and
- more than 40 percent of the global online advertisement market.
Google disagrees with EPIC and the EU, but has offered to respond to inquiries from regulators.
In Conclusion
Given the market power that generated more than US$38 billion in revenue and $9.7 billion of net income from advertising in 2011, these new privacy policies are surely created to help increase revenue.
There will likely be many challenges in the weeks to come from around the world, and perhaps in courts in the U.S. and EU.

Reader Dafydd ab Hugh writes to note that the link to Professor Yoo's Wall Street Journal column on the Insane Clown Posse's detention decisions including Rasul is inaccessible to non-subscribers, and to argue that my excerpts of the column were misleading, in the post "Professor Yoo's dissent."
I think Rasul is the most important of the three detention decisions; I may be wrong, and Professor Yoo suggests otherwise. I think Rasul is wrong and harmful; Professor Yoo suggests the same, but adds that the harm can be ameliorated by the executive and legislative branches.
In excerpting the quotes in the post I had counted on readers having access to the column in its entirety in order to evaluate it for themselves. The following is a link that should be accessible to readers interested in doing so: "The Supreme Court goes to war."
In the event that the link doesn't work, I'm pasting in the column in its entirety below:
From the initial returns, one might believe that the Bush administration suffered a legal defeat this week in the war against terrorism. In Rasul v. Bush, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal courts — for the first time — will review the grounds for detaining alien enemy combatants held outside the U.S. In Hamdi v. Rumsfeld, the justices required that American citizens detained in the war have access to a lawyer and a fair hearing before a neutral judge.
But despite the pleas of legal and media elites, the justices did not turn the clock back to Sept. 10, 2001. While the Court has unwisely injected itself into military matters, closer examination reveals that it has affirmed the administration's fundamental legal approach to the war on terrorism, and left it with sufficient flexibility to effectively prevail in the future.
To wit, the Court agreed that the U.S. is at war against the al Qaeda terrorist network and the Taliban militia that supports them. It agreed that Congress has authorized that war. Moreover, the justices implicitly recognized that the U.S. may use all of the tools of war to fight a new kind of enemy that has no territory, no population and no desire to spare innocent civilian life.
Taken as a whole, the Court's message is unmistakable: The days when terrorism was merely considered a law enforcement problem and our only forces were limited to the FBI, federal prosecutors and the criminal justice system will not be returning.
Following judicial precedent and common sense, a plurality of four justices in Hamdi agreed that waging war must include the power to detain enemy combatants. Justice O'Connor's opinion made clear that detention in wartime is not a punishment, and so does not deserve the trappings and procedures of the domestic criminal-justice system. As she observed, "the purpose of detention is to prevent captured individuals from returning to the field of battle and taking up arms once again." Enemy combatants can even include American citizens who join al Qaeda or the Taliban. Brushing aside the argument that Yaser Hamdi's detention was illegal because it was indefinite, the Court affirmed that an enemy combatant may be detained for as long as active hostilities continue, as they do in Afghanistan.
Upholding the detention of citizens who join the enemy is perhaps the most significant aspect of this week's opinions. As the Jos

WINCHESTER, Va. - Yogi Berra would have loved this game, 'cause it wasn't over until it was over.
No. 16/19 Shenandoah University began its final push for a Pool C NCAA Tournament berth Tuesday afternoon with a 9-8, 11-inning baseball victory over Messiah College.
Junior Nick Beall, on to pinch hit for Christian Frey, won it for the Hornets (27-10) in the 11th with a one-out single back up the middle to score Mike Minch from third.
Minch, attempting to sacrifice, had reached on a fielder's choice and went all the way to third as losing pitcher Davin Okerblom (1-3) uncorked a wild pitch on a Minch steal attempt.
Following an intentional walk to Joey Donofrio, Beall, normally the team's designated hitter, pinch hit and took Okerblom over second base for the game-winning RBI.
But that doesn't even come close to telling the story of the contest.
SU found itself down 5-0 after Messiah (11-20) scored four times in the first and once in the second, and then took until the bottom of the eighth to bring the game back to level when Jake Pendergraft scored an unearned run on a Greg Beran single to center.
In the 10th, the Hornets appeared to win it as Cory Nelson drilled his third double of the game down the leftfield line to bring Frey home with the host's ninth run of the contest.
Only it wasn't.
With the 45+ players in uniform on the field celebrating the apparent victory, Falcons catcher David Sletta tagged Frey out in between home and first base after noticing that Frey had not touched home plate.
The call was made immediately and after a short conference to explain the situation, Pendergraft was returned to third and Nelson to second with two outs.
Joe Bittner then walked to load the bases before Michael Paul grounded to first to end the threat.
Senior Kyle Scallion (1-2), the fourth Hornets pitcher, earned the win with four strikeouts and four groundouts in eight batters faced.
Tucker Brown and Nelson led a 14-hit attack with three hits each.
Corbin Lucas added two hits and two RBI.
Shenandoah is back in action on Sunday at future ODAC rival Virginia Wesleyan.
