Kick the ball and see results. The sensor in the miCoach Smart Ball provides near–instant feedback on speed, spin, trajectory and strike point, so you can learn from every kick.
Yelling to clear everyone upfield, you drop the ball near the edge of the box and take a few steps back. To the right you can see one of your team making a move away from his marker. Can you pinpoint him from here?
Kick the ball and see results. The sensor in the miCoach Smart Ball provides near–instant feedback on speed, spin, trajectory and strike point, so you can learn from every kick.
You intercept a poor pass, chesting the ball down to control as everyone pushes up for the counter-attack. You're under pressure, but quickly spin past your opponent and buy yourself time and space. Can you find your winger and play the ball to his feet?
With coaching tips and guidance you'll perfect your foot plant, strike point and follow throught, so your long ball finds its mark every time.
Another chance to upset the visitors. You place the ball carefully to the right of the flag. The sound of the crowd behind you fading away. Focus. This corner kick needs to be perfectly weighted, bending up towards the far post. Can you target the head of your striker as he charges in?
Practice foot strike and power; apply the spin and lift needed to bend the ball up, over and around the defence.
The wall jostles and is pulled back. 20 yards out, there isn't a clear view of the keeper, but that doesn't matter. Get this knuckleball right and there's not much he'll be able to do about it. You visualise where your standing foot will dig in, the angle of your boot on the ball. You've done this a thousand times before. Can you do it again?
You run forward, head and shoulders up. Strike. It loops over the wall as they jump up, dropping suddenly to the bottom left corner…
With zero spin, the flight pattern of a knuckle ball is hard to predict and tough to stop. Make this your signature kick and you'll strike fear into every goaLie
The game's over. 3 points in the bag. But what challenges await when you face the next team? Better get practising...
Use the Smart Ball app to challenge yourself with set pieces. Aim to kick the ball within a certain speed, kick around a virtual wall and into the goal or try to replicate kicks of the pros. Challenge your friends or teammates, then share your results online. Have fun and take your ball skills to winning levels.

- Health Notes
RiboseRiboseThis nutrient has been used in connection with the following health goals
- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.
This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:Heart & Circulatory HealthSee Related Concerns (1)CloseAnginaDose: Refer to label instructionsIn one study, men with severe coronary heart disease who took ribose were able to exercise significantly longer than those taking placebo before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG).(more)Athletic PerformanceDose: Refer to label instructionsRibose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which gets depleted during intense exercise. Reports have suggested that taking ribose might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.(more)AnginaDose: Refer to label instructions
In a controlled study, men with severe coronary heart disease were given an exercise test, after which they took either 15 grams of ribose or a placebo four times daily for three days. Compared with the initial test, men taking ribose were able to exercise significantly longer before experiencing chest pain and before abnormalities appeared on their electrocardiogram (ECG), but only the ECG changes were significantly improved compared with those in the placebo group.1 Sports supplement manufacturers recommend 1 to 10 grams per day of ribose, while heart disease patients and people with rare enzyme deficiencies have been given up to 60 grams per day.ReferencesAthletic PerformanceDose: Refer to label instructions
Ribose is a type of sugar used by the body to make the energy-containing substance adenosine triphosphate (ATP). Intense exercise depletes muscle cells of ATP as well as the ATP precursors made from ribose,1, 2 though these deficits are typically replaced within minutes.3 Unpublished reports suggested that ribose supplementation might increase power during short, intense bouts of exercise.4, 5 However, in a double-blind study, exercisers took four grams of ribose four times per day during a six-day strength-training regimen, and no effects on muscle power or ATP recovery in exercised muscles were found.6 In two other controlled studies, either 10 grams of ribose per day for five days or 8 grams every 12 hours for 36 hours resulted in only minor improvements in some measures of performance during repetitive sprint cycling.7, 8References

Comments about NOW NUTRITION Now® Sports D-Ribose:
Being a "shift" worker, I was frequently too tired at the end of my work day to get in my workout. A friend said he heard about D-Ribose on TV. After a little research I gave Now Nutrition D-Ribose a try and could not be more pleased. I take one early in the morning as soon as I get to work, another shortly after lunch, and a third about thirty minutes before I get to the gym and I have had no more issues with fatigue being a factor at the gym.

PINEVILLE, N.C. -- We ended our week of the Best of Larry's Look with Larry's visit to a 40,000 square foot trampoline park in Pineville.
It's called Sky High Sports and has all trampoline floors and walls. Kids of all ages love the experience, whether it's their first time or one of many fun times at the park.
Larry took a turn at "diving" into a giant pit---filled with foam blocks and surrounded by dozens of kids encouraging him to "go for it"!

Books in English language
Some of the original handwritten letters in Bengali and Hindi, that Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Svāmī Mahārāja (Śrīla Prabhupāda) wrote to his dear friend, Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja in Śrīla Prabhupāda's first few years in America, along with their English translations, comprise this tasteful, photo-rich, presentation. "Our relationship is certainly based on spontaneous love. That is why there is no chance of us forgetting one another." [Letter dated September 1966.]
This present edition of Srimad Bhagavad-gita contains the essential meanings given in the commentaries of Srila Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura and Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura. It is further illuminated by the exegesis of Srila Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja. This translation is complimentary to the authoritative and popular Bhagavad-gita As It Is by Srila A. C. Bhaktivedanta Svami Prabhupada.
This compelling narrative based on spiritually developed personalities and others in cultured Bengali life a few hundred years ago, serves as the basis of Śrīla Bhaktivinoda Ṭhākura's presentation of the Gauḍīya Vaiṣṇava philosophy, from its basic tenets to its esoteric pinnacle. Woven into the story are penetrating philosophical questions that are commonly pondered and eternally relevant. The depth of the answers gives clarity and direction to the quest to establish ourselves in our jaiva-dharma, our soul's constitutional function.
Arcana-dipika means "the lamp that illuminates arcana". The term arcana signifies honour, or worship. As one of the nine processes of devotional service it refers to worshipping the deity form of the Lord. Arcana-dipika teaches us how to perform this service and thus please the Lord through this process of worship. It contains the exact details of worship, waking, bathing and feeding the Lord, and putting Him to rest at night. It also includes exact details of the rules and regulations for brahminical cleanliness – all to help us develop pure bhakti.
Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu-bindu (a drop from the nectarean ocean of devotion), is a brief summary of the essential topics presented in Bhakti-rasāmṛta-sindhu by Śrīla Rūpa Gosvāmī. It describes the nature of uttama-bhakti, sādhana-bhakti, the stages in the development of prema, the limbs of bhajana, offences committed in the performance of devotional service, offences against the holy name, vaidhi- and rāgānuga-sādhana-bhakti, bhāva-bhakti and prema-bhakti. Faithful persons who study this book will obtain the qualification to enter into the wealth of the prema of Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu.
Śrīla Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura's beautiful Śrī Camatkāra-candrikā comprises four narrations of Śrī Śrī Rādhā-Kṛṣṇa's enchanting pastimes. These stories are so delightful that one naturally becomes joyful by absorbing oneself in them. By their very nature, these pastimes allure the reader to relish the eternal sweetness of the transcendental realm.
For thousands of years, devotees have sung Śrī Dāmodarāṣṭakam, especially in the revered month of Kārtika. These eight verses mark the profound blossoming of Śrī Satyavrata Muni's love for Śrī Dāmodara, as he prays, "Please appear before me in Your beautiful, eternal form as a young cowherd-boy, and grant me the perfection of life." The true meaning of this prayer remained mostly hidden until the late 1500s, when Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī wrote his elucidating commentary. Śrī Śrīmad Bhaktivedānta Nārāyaṇa Gosvāmī Mahārāja's lively and poignant supplementary commentary serves to make these essential meanings even more accessible.
In the Second Canto of Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta, Srila Sanatana Gosvami examines all the manifestations and incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead, culminating in Sri Nandanandana, the beloved son of Sri Nanda Maharaja. He does so by narrating the story of Gopa-kumara and his fascinating journey throughout the material and spiritual universes as he searches for the Lord of his heart. "Sri Brhad-bhagavatamrta alone is the main foundation of all the scriptures written by Srila Rupa Gosvami, Srila Raghunatha dasa Gosvami and so on. All the other books of our Gosvamis manifested from this one book alone." [Sri Srimad Bhaktivedanta Narayana Gosvami Maharaja]
This book especially investigates the philosophy of Sri Sankaracarya, whose philosophical misinterpretations of the Vedas were so influential that not only did he succeed in driving Buddhism out of India, but what most of us now think of as Hinduism is fundamentally nothing but his brand of impersonal Mayavadism. To quote the author, "...it can be safely concluded that in truth, any philosophy which has the propensity to dilute, divide, and confuse the rational, logical or factual understanding of the Supreme Lord's personal form, has at some juncture been influenced by the deceptive forces of Mayavadism." Furthermore, Beyond Nirvana demonstrates that Sankaracarya's teachings are in the final analysis ironically nothing but a recycled form of Buddhism and in no way true to the original Vedic wisdom known as sanatana-dharma.
Bhakti-rasāyana, or the nectar tonic of bhakti-rasa, consists of a compilation of verses from the Tenth Canto of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam that Parīkṣit Mahārāja spoke to his mother, Uttarā, in the final chapter of Śrī Bṛhad-bhāgavatāmṛta. Like stringing pearls on a thread, Śrīla Sanātana Gosvāmī has composed a necklace of these verses for the benefit of the sādhakas (practitioners of bhakti) of this world, to stimulate the moods of bhakti in their hearts.
We trust various persons of authority to inform us about material subject matters, but whom shall we trust in regard to transcendental subject matters and the transcendental world? We cannot experience transcendence with any of our material senses. How then, can we have an idea of that pure reality? We can see the body, but not the soul. How can we verify that there is a soul beyond matter? Though God is everywhere, we don't see Him. How then, can we determine who is God? Although it is evident that we cannot control the world, how can we trust that there is a God from whom this creation has come, and how can we be confident that it is He who controls it? Millions of people are born daily, and millions also die. Who controls this overwhelming tide of birth and death? Sea waves come on schedule, the sun appears on schedule, and new days come with continuous regularity. We do not control those rhythms, yet somehow, everything is maintained.
An unprecedented collection of devotional songs Sanskrit, Bengali and Hindi devotional poems, prayers, songs and bhajanas written by the Gaudiya Vaisnava acaryas and compiled for the practicing devotee.
"Lord Brahma described in a samhita (compilation) of one hundred chapters whatever essence of pure bhakti he had been holding in his heart in connection with the Supreme Lord. Among those chapters, this Fifth Chapter is most worshipable for Gaudiya Vaisnavas because it is extremely practical and advantageous for the living entity. Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu personally brought Brahma-samhita from South India for His devotees." [Srila Prabhupada Sarasvati Thakura]
Sri Bhajana-rahasya is compiled by Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakura Mahasaya. He has collected into the form of a book several confidential hints from his own method of bhajana to guide sincere sadhakas who are performing bhajana under his direction. Some years ago, this destitute person (Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakura) observed him performing bhajana. He was constantly reciting and relishing verses such as the ones in this book, thus becoming overwhelmed with bhagavat-prema. For sadhakas whose faith is on the neophyte platform, the system of arcana is provided.
This is a summary work examining the verse "Absorb your mind and heart in Me, become My devotee, worship Me, offer your obeisances to Me, and certainly you will come to Me.", the essence of the Bhagavad-gita. This brief publication offers vivid illustrations of the practical application of this verse with many pastimes of Krishna and our great saintly predecessors.

To think it all started with a 19th century fad - the hoop skirt. That was the first item that Joseph and Lyman Bloomingdale carried in their Ladies' Notions Shop in New York's Lower East Side. In the late 1800's, most fashion retailers specialized in just one type of garment. Not the brothers Bloomingdale - their East Side Bazaar, opened in 1872, sold a wide variety of European fashions. It was the beginning of what would become a "Department Store".
In 1886 came the visionary move uptown to 59th Street and Lexington Avenue. The store expanded steadily and by the 1920's, Bloomingdale's converted an entire city block.
Flexing his marketing muscle, Lyman created splashy ad campaigns to bring people in the door. People started seeing the "All Cars Transfer to Bloomingdale's" slogan everywhere - on billboards, delivery wagons, and even ladies' beach umbrellas.
Print ads couldn't say it all. The store had to be experienced. So Bloomingdale's became the stage for gala events and fashion shows, including "Woman Of The Year, 1947." With music, lighting and sophistication, it was retailing as theater.
Bloomingdale's is committed to once again lead the way with exclusive merchandise, customized services, and alternative shopping venues. Carrying on the Bloomingdale's brothers' dream, we're always finding ways to set our stores apart. That's both the legacy and the promise of Bloomingdale's.

Sara Winifred Brown
Educator, Physician, Activist
Sara Winifred Brown, born in 1868 in Winchester, Virginia, was a teacher and a physician who spent her lifetime helping others to help themselves. From working as a Red Cross relief worker during a series of floods to becoming the first female trustee of Howard University, Brown devoted much of her life to the public service of others.
Brown attended Virginia's all-Black Hampton Normal and Agriculture Institute (now Hampton University), graduating with honors. She went on to teach English at the District of Columbia Normal School, though her quest for knowledge soon got the better of her.
In 1894, Brown took a leave of absence to attend Cornell University, where she got involved with many organizations, including the Jugtae, a society for those interested in biology. Brown graduated from Cornell with an A.B. degree in 1897, then returned to Washington to resume her teaching career but now as a biology teacher.
Dr. Brown enrolled at Howard University to study medicine, receiving her M.D. in 1904. She then went into practice part-time and continued her studies. Thirsting for further knowledge, Brown studied sociology and anthropology under Columbia University professors and during a trip to Europe attending lectures at Sorbonne.
From 1908 to 1911, Dr. Brown assisted Howard University's medical department, lecturing on gynecology. She made history on June 3, 1924, when the university elected her to its board, making Brown the first female alumni trustee of Howard, a position she held until her death in 1948.
Dr. Brown also gave extensively of herself, helping many local and national organizations such as the Women's War Council, which appointed her one of 50 female physicians in its "Flying Squadron." The American Red Cross drafted her as a relief worker in Mississippi and Louisiana following severe flooding in 1927. In 1930, Dr. Brown was named as a physician to accompany a Gold Star Mothers pilgrimage to France.

T.I. will be under some tough probation restrictions when he's released from prison next year, according to TMZ.
Under the terms of his year-long probation, the rapper, who began serving an 11-month sentence for a parole violation early this month, will not be allowed to leave the Northern District of Georgia for anything but "verified employment within the United States." In other words, he's barred from leaving the country.
He is also forbidden from leaving the Northern District for more than seven days per month, and is prohibited from driving a vehicle, or owning firearms (the cause of his last prison term, from 2009 until earlier this year) or other dangerous weapons or devices.
Finally, he'll have to take part in a drug-and-alcohol testing and treatment program "under the guidance and supervision of the United States probation officer and if able, contribute to the cost of services of such treatment."

Gloucester Daily Times
---- — Talk of the Times readers and others who joined in a Facebook poll over the past two weeks have made The Open Door a winner.
Julie LaFontaine, executive director of the Gloucester-based food pantry and human services agency, confirmed Friday that The Open Door has won a $20,000 prize being offered by Wal-Mart as part of the retail giant's "Fighting Hunger Together" initiative.
The Open Door captured the prize while competing against more than 300 other hunger relief organizations across the nation, with the winners decided through a Facebook voting campaign spotlighted in last week's "Talk of the Times."
LaFontaine said the money will be used to support PowerSnack, an after-school supper program offered at Veterans Memorial Elementary School. PowerSnack offers kids a chance to fuel up before they head home for the day, with the supper program including a kid-friendly entree coupled with fresh fruits and vegetables selected by the child from a student-sized salad bar.
"The Open Door PowerSnack supper program helps connect kids to good food," LaFontaine said. "We're so excited — thank you to everybody who helped us get this."
Glosta Strong, Boston Strong!
Rising local singer-songwriter Chelsea Berry will top the bill Tuesday night when the Cape Ann Brewing Company hosts a fund-raising event for the victims of the Boston Marathon terrorist bombings, drawing on the theme of "Glosta Strong Supporting Boston Strong."
Featuring entertainment by Berry and friends, the brewery will be donating 50 percent of the night's proceeds, while also holding several raffles and a silent auction. All of the money raised will go to The One Fund Boston.
"When tragedy hits anywhere it's important for people and businesses alike to do their part to make a difference," said Cape Ann Brewing Company owner Jeremy Goldberg. "With this attack hitting so close to home," he added, "it's even more important that Gloucester stands up and supports our Boston brothers and sisters.
"This event is our small way of doing what we can," he added.
The event, set to begin at 5 p.m., will be held at The Pub at Cape Ann Brewing, located at 11 Rogers St. There will be a suggested donation at the door of $5.
Digital Dogtown rising
Eagle Scout Alan Davis's Digital Dogtown project, ravaged by vandals earlier this spring, will be the focal point of a special fund-raiser hosted Monday night by Espresso's Restaurant in East Gloucester.
The Espresso fund-raiser, in which the restaurant will donate a percentage of it dinner proceeds Monday between 5 and 9 p.m., is aimed at restoring the project, which, through a series of installations and Smart phone technology, allowed hikers at several stopping points to learn and connect with Dogtown's history, geology, culture and heritage.
The Espresso benefit — held at the restaurant, at 116 East Main St. — is the latest effort aimed at reviving the project. Anyone with ideas on how to best replace the damaged or stolen markers — thoughts on how it should be done differently (or perhaps why it should not be done at all) should send a note to the 17-year-old Davis, a Gloucester High student, and his father, Roger, an O'Maley Middle school teacher, at firstname.lastname@example.com
Anyone who can't make the Espresso event but would like to help out financially may also send a check made out to "The Gloucester Fund," noting on the memo line that the check is "for Digital Dogtown," and mail it to Alan Davis, 2 Goodwin Road, Gloucester MA 01930.
"We hope to have the posts back in operation in time for the summer hiking season," the Davises said.
Into the St. Ann void
With St. Ann School, Gloucester's and Cape Ann's only Catholic school, announcing last week it would be closing at the end of the current school year, a Catholic school in Beverly is reaching out to perhaps step into the void for Cape Ann families.
Saint Mary School, located at 13 Chapman St. in Beverly, is currently enrolling students in pre-kindergarten through grade eight, and will hold an open house next Friday, May 10, with all visitors welcome to tour the school from 9:30 to 11 a.m.
The school, which currently serves students from 15 North Shore communities, offers full day pre-kindergarten and kindergarten programs. Anyone seeking more information is welcome to call 978-927-3259, or visit www.smsbeverly.com.
St. Ann School officials and the Archdiocese of Boston stunned many in the Cape Ann community with the announcement that the Gloucester school, first opened in 1885, would close in June after 128 years of serving the community. Low enrollment – just 90 current students, down from 189 in 2010, and the failure of an expected $4 million Catholic Schools grant to ever materialize have been cited as primary reasons for the shutdown.
Letter Carriers food drive
The National Association of Letters Carriers will hold its annual food drive next Saturday, May 11.
Residents in Gloucester, Rockport and Manchester are encouraged to leave a bag full of non-perishable food items next to their mailbox on that day, with items slated to be donated to The Open Door food pantry and service agency.
Items most needed include tuna, peanut butter, pasta, cereal, and juice, but no glass, please, said Open Door Executive Director Julie LaFontaine.
For more information visit, www.foodpantry.org or call 978-283-6776.
Residents are also encouraged to contact their local post offices to volunteer to help with the drive.
Honored veteran
The flag at the Veterans' Center will fly this week in honor of World War II veteran Stanley Thomas Meuse. Born Dec. 24, 1922, he entered the U.S. Navy on Oct. 23, 1942.
The signalman, second class, served with the Gleaves-class destroyer the USS Davison (DD-618), and the Mettawee-class gasoline tanker the USS Klaskanine (AOG-63). He served in the Pacific, European and American theaters.
Meuse was awarded the Asiatic Pacific Theater Medal, the European Theater Medal with two Bronze Stars, the American Area Medal, and the World War II Victory Medal.
He was discharged Nov. 7, 1945, and died Jan. 14, 2012.
The flag was requested to fly in his honor by his children, Deborah and Dale Meuse.
Anyone wishing to fly a flag in honor of a deceased veteran can call the Office of Veterans' Services at 978-281-9740.

Prime Minister Stephen Harper has declared that reviving and expanding political and economic engagement in the Americas is a major Canadian foreign policy goal.
Canada and Peru have warm and growing bilateral relations, anchored in Canada's engagement in the Americas. Canada's engagement with the Americas is based on a vision of a more prosperous, secure and democratic hemisphere through the three goals of: increasing mutual prosperity; addressing insecurity and advancing freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law; and building lasting relationships across government, business, civil society, academia and communities in the region. Canada considers Peru a strong and constructive regional partner in advancing these goals within the hemisphere.
Our two countries work together closely in regional and multilateral organizations. In the Organization of American States (OAS), Peru is a strong supporter of the Inter-American Democratic Charter (adopted in Lima in 2001); Peru hosted the OAS General Assembly in 2010. Peru has also taken a leadership role in UNASUR, of which it currently holds the pro tempore presidency. Canada and Peru are both members of the Group of Friends of Haiti. Canada and Peru also cooperate on good governance initiatives and on efforts to combat drug trafficking. Canada has long supported key institutions of Peruvian democracy, such as the Office of the Ombudsperson.
Strong relations between Peru and Canada are reflected in increasing bilateral interactions at all levels. Canada and Peru hold annual bilateral political consultations to discuss issues of interest to both countries. Peru regularly welcomes visits by Canadian Members of Parliament and senior officials. Minister of State of Foreign Affairs (Americas and Consular Affairs), Diane Ablonczy, attended President Humala's inauguration in July 2011 and visited again in March 2012. Minister of International Trade Ed Fast visited Peru in April 2012 before attending the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena, Colombia. Prime Minister Harper and President Humala met at the APEC Summit in 2011.
In 2009, the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement (FTA) and parallel agreements on labour cooperation and the environment entered into force, enhancing a trade relationship that has grown substantially over the last three years. Since the entry into force of the FTA, Peru has continued to grow as a key market for Canada in the Americas. Two-way merchandise trade in 2010 reached more than $4.2 billion. In 2011, Canadian exports to Peru reached slightly over $522 million and included cereals, machinery, paper and paperboard (mainly newsprint), electrical machinery and vegetables. Canadian merchandise imports from Peru reached $4.453 billion in 2011 and included precious stones and metals (gold and silver), mineral ores (mainly copper, lead and precious metal ores), mineral fuels and oils, coffee, vegetables, and tin.
Peru is Canada's second largest bilateral trading partner in Latin America and the Caribbean (excluding Mexico), and the third largest destination for Canadian direct investment in South and Central America. Opportunities exist in priority sectors such as mining (gold, silver, copper and base metal projects) and oil & gas (exploration and production, and equipment, technology and services exports), agriculture & agri-food (re the re-opening of the beef market), infrastructure projects (essentially promoting private-public partnership models ) and ICT (health-related products and services). With over 100 publicly listed extractive companies (mining and oil & gas), as well as six additional mines under production, Canada's interest in Peru's extractive sector is significant. To this end, Canada is working closely with Peru to promote corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices, particularly in mining-intensive regions, as well as key hydrocarbons projects.
In addition to its active role in the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC), Peru is a key player in both the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) and the Pacific Alliance, and is favourable to Canadian participation in both. On June 19, all TPP members announced their support for Canada to join the negotiations. Support for Mexico's participation in the TPP also took place during the same week. TPP members must now complete any necessary domestic processes and advise New Zealand, as the TPP depository, of their ability to engage Canada and Mexico in the negotiations. The longest domestic process is a 90-day consultation with the United States Congress, which was initiated on July 10. Once these processes are completed in early October, Canada will formally join the TPP and is expecting to join the next round of negotiations likely to be held in December 2012.
Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada (DFATD) has managed a bilateral development program in Peru since 1968. The objective of DFATD's Peru program is to reduce poverty and inequality in a more democratic and inclusive Peru. In 2009, Peru was identified as one of the 20 countries of focus for Canada's development assistance. DFATD's bilateral aid program is ramping up, building on Canada's experience in education and natural resource governance in the extractive sectors. The program reflects DFATD's Ministerial Priorities of Securing Futures for Children and Youth and Sustainable Economic Growth. The apparent contradiction between persistent poverty and a healthy economy in Peru is in large part explained by the high inequality affecting the country.Canada's tradition of promoting equal opportunities through public services is of particular interest and relevance, where the main problem is not the absence of wealth but the lack of institutional means to effectively tackle socio-economic inequality. CIDA is looking to support Peru's efforts, including by sharing successful models when they are relevant to the Peruvian context. On the margins of the APEC summit in 2011, during his first meeting with President Humala, Prime Minister Harper announced a CIDA-funded project to increase capacity in conflict management and prevention in the energy and mining sectors. Both leaders agreed to work together to enhance cooperation in these areas. In April 2012, during the Summit of the Americas, Prime Minister Harper also announced support for sustainable and efficient management of energy resources in Peru.
The Government of Canada encourages the development of new leaders and the strengthening of institutions in Peru, including by providing scholarships through the Emerging Leaders in the Americas Program (ELAP). In addition, Canadian education institutions are increasing their promotion activities in Peru; the first major fair to market education in Canada is taking place in Lima in September 2012.
As a result of the signing of the Canada-Peru Free Trade Agreement, successful democratic elections, a rapidly expanding economy and numerous tourist attractions, Peru continues to attract the attention of an increasing number of Canadians.

Woodbury author Allan Evans' novel, Killing Time on the Highway, involves a shootout on the highway, eight dead people and the mystery behind $300 million in cash.
Much of the action takes place in Woodbury and the east metro.
Evans, 53, grew up in Bloomington and also works as the marketing manager at FirstTech. He has been a marketing communications writer for a decade, including a stint as a communications writer for Medtronic, writing everything from magazine ads to ghostwriting articles for cardiac surgeons.
Patch asked Evans about the book:
Woodbury Patch: Why did you decide to use Woodbury and the east metro as the setting for Killing Time on the Highway?
Allan Evans: It's a case of write what you know, and I know—and love—our community.
Patch: Tell us a little about the plot.
Evans: Minnesota State Patrol investigator Cade Dawkins takes on the case of his lifetime when a bloody highway shootout leaves behind eight dead bodies—and $300 million in cash. After his last assignment, a disaster that left his partners dead and his career on life support, Cade jumps at the opportunity for redemption, recognizing this will either be his biggest—or his final—case.
Patch: How does the setting influence what happens in the book?
Evans: Living in Minnesota with its four seasons gives one a profound sense of place, which I try to impart into the novel. I've always been a fan of John Sandford's Prey series, which are set in the Twin Cities. I love the fact that as you read it, you know exactly where each scene is taking place. You almost expect to run into the characters when visiting the same places. Some of the major scenes in Killing Time take place on Highway 94, Sam's Club, Dunn Bros, Imation headquarters and the Cathedral of St. Paul.
Patch: How did the book turn out?
Evans: I'm happy with it! In fact I'm halfway through writing a sequel.
Patch: How/where can people get the book?
Evans: Amazon sells a Kindle edition.
Patch: Anything else you'd like to add?
Evans: The research was a lot of fun. I've met a lot of great people and have ridden in law enforcement squads traveling at 120 miles per hour with the lights and sirens going. Believe me, that will get your adrenaline racing!

Submitted by Dalton State College
John Redman, Dalton State College's assistant men's basketball coach, has been recruiting in southern Alabama and the Florida panhandle for several years.
Redman used his connection to the Sunshine State this week to sign a player from one of the most competitive junior college conferences in the country, the Florida Panhandle Athletic Conference.
Dylan Smith, 21, a 6-foot guard from Rosemary Beach, signed with the Roadrunners Wednesday afternoon in the James E. Brown Center on the DSC campus.
"I am really excited about helping to start back this program," Smith said. "I look forward to having great times and winning games for Dalton State College."
The newest Roadrunner averaged 20 points, eight rebounds, five assists and three steals per game while playing for South Walton High School in Fort Walton Beach, Fla. His game high was 38 points.
During his two years at Gulf Coast State College in Panama City, Fla., he had a game high of 21 points with an average of eight points, two rebounds and two assists per game. At the same time, the business management major was a Florida Academic All-State selection.
"I look forward to playing with Coach Ingle and Coach Redman," Smith said.
DSC coaches are thrilled to have him.
"Dylan is a class act," Redman said. "He has played a high level of basketball coming from one of the most powerful junior college conferences in the country."
Head coach Tony Ingle shares the enthusiasm.
"We are thrilled to have Dylan Smith in our program and I am sure our fans will love watching him," Ingle said. "There is no way we could have signed Dylan without Coach Redman. He has been working him for years and I'm excited for him as well."
Smith is the son of Deidre and Craig Smith. He has one brother, Tanner.
"He comes from a basketball family and we are excited to have him join OUR new basketball family," Redman said.
Redman added Craig Smith is a long-time volunteer coach at the recreation through college levels.
n The Roadrunners begin their inaugural season on the road Oct. 30 to play Redman's former school, Spring Hill College in Mobile, Ala. Tip-off has been set at 7 p.m. central time.
DSC will stay on the road with a game Nov. 1 in Jackson, Miss., versus Belhaven University at 7 p.m. central time. After three nights at home, they travel to Central, S.C., to battle Southern Wesleyan University at 7 p.m. eastern time
The first home game is scheduled for Nov. 7th at the trade center when the Roadrunners host Hiwassee College at 7 p.m.
DSC has exhibition games scheduled on the road against two NCAA Division I Schools — Jacksonville State University in Jacksonville, Ala., at 4 p.m. central time on Nov. 22, and Austin Peay State University in Clarksville, Tenn., on Dec. 30 at 7:30 p.m. central time.
n The DSC cheer team is in Tuscaloosa, Ala., participating in a four-day camp at the University of Alabama that started Friday.
"It's an opportunity to develop our skills," Roadrunner Coach Robyn Newell said. "The camp has a reputation of helping college cheerleaders, dancers, and mascots to be the best we can be."
The camp combines staff from the Universal Cheerleaders Association and the Universal Dance Association.
"We've been working hard to make our cheer team a group the entire community can be proud of," Newell said. "Like other athletic camps, the Tuscaloosa trip will give us a chance for intensified training without the distractions of home. With over 40 other colleges and universities attending, it will also give us an opportunity to see what others are doing."

With a 14 degree deadrise and a draft of 10'' (.25 m), the 23 Bay Bolt can reach far into the shallows. PerformanceThe Hydrasports Custom 23 Bay Bolt does not come with a standard engine, which means you're left to power your boat as you see fit up to a maximum of 300-hp. Not coincidentally, our test boat was powered by a Yamaha 300 four-stroke that took us to a top speed of 59.2 mph at 5900 rpm. At that speed we were burning 26.6 gph and getting 2.23 mpg for a range of 154 miles. Pulled back to a more economical 3000 rpm we were running at 26.8 mph with a 6.7 gph fuel burn. Now we were getting nearly four mpg for range of 277 miles.Our time to plane was 2.9 seconds and we were accelerating through 30 mph in 7.2 seconds.Handling The performance of the 23 Bay Bolt is about what you might expect a for shallow draft boat. You are not going to find deep-V hull performance and rough water capability in this boat, but what you will find is access to waters that most other boats would never even attempt. Given that the 23 Bay Bolt has a relatively flat bottom, when you start getting into rough water it can be a bit of a wet ride. However, operating in mild chop, which you might find in inshore waters, was no match for our test boat. We were pretty much able to skip right across the chop that we experienced on test day, and while it was a bumpy ride, it was a quick and efficient ride as well as dry.Being able to utilize the optional tower allows you to keep your eye on feeding frenzies from a long way off. The height makes it easier to see bonefish and sneak up on themAs we were testing in a narrow protected run with a heavy current, and 25-30 mph winds, we were understandably unable to determine minimum trolling speeds, but did find little turbulence behind the Yamaha 300 four-stroke.Since the 23 Bay Bolt has a relatively flat bottom, I expected turning performance to be lackluster and uncontrolled. And yet again Hydrasports Custom proved me wrong. While I wouldn't describe the turning performance of the 23 Bay as aggressive, I did find that the boat turned with authority and complete controllability in spite of the high winds and optional tower high above the center of gravity.Getting to the fishing grounds in a hurry will be the least of your concerns, with a top speed of 59.2 with our 300-hp Yamaha four-stroke test power. Operating in varying sea conditions at higher speeds from the tower can be a bit disconcerting, but that's more of a personal observation. Certainly it is ideal for spotting and slowly easing up to bonefish or other species. Operating from the lower console left me without any trepidation about what the boat could handle, and handle well.FeaturesWhile there are plenty of storage compartments all the hatches close flush with recessed hinges. The Hydrasports Custom 23 Bay Bolt really is feature filled. Starting at the bow you have a massive casting platform which allows ample access all the way around the bow. Underneath the forward part of the platform is a large storage area that includes an indentation for securing your casting net's 5 gallon bucket.Even with a small livewell, Hydrasports Custom still allows for rounded interiors to protect the bait, and blue to reduce the shock factor. Just behind is a 15 gallon (56.8 L) aerated livewell colored blue, with all the edges rounded. To the sides are two very large fish boxes that double as storage compartments with flip out rod holders, three on each side, with two of the three being sufficient to hold 9' (2.74 m) fly rods. This large storage compartment has a recessed area for securing a 5-gallon bucket. In true Hydrasports Custom fashion all hatches are back gelled, gasketed all the way around, supported by gas-assist struts, and secured with stainless steel hardware. In addition all the hatches are lockable, and keyed alike, so two keys can get the boat started and give you access to all the compartments. The hatch latches also have a small red dot to let you know when they are in the open position, so you are never spinning the latch in the wrong direction trying to get the hatch open. And all hatch covers have channels around the edges that direct water off the platform, onto the deck, and out the overboard drains.Trolling Down the RiverUnderstanding that sometimes boaters prefer to do some trolling, Hydrasports Custom built gunwales at the bow wide enough for mounting a trolling motor to either side without having it hang off the edges. The 23 Bay Bolt can come pre-rigged for having the trolling motor mounted to either side of the bow.More Hydra-Sports CourtesyThis forward cooler has rounded corners to allow for more room between the V- storage to walk through.Pretty much every center console has a cooler just ahead of the console with the seat cushion on it. The Hydrasports Custom 23 Bay Bolt is no different, but Hydrasports Custom does things a little differently and with a little more courtesy. Instead of a squared edge cooler, Hydrasports Custom fitted the boat with a half-round, Frigid Rigid cooler. Those rounded edges give you a little more room between the cooler and the dual fishboxes so that you can walk through and around the console. In fact it gives you 11" (27.9 cm) of clearance. When walking alongside the console, the nearly 9' (2.74 m) beam really comes into play as you've got almost 2'10" (.86 m) of space between the console and the gunwales. This even allows for vertical rod holders on both sides of the console.HelmThe helm was functional, but Capt. Steve managed to find a couple of areas that he thinks needed improving. Behind the console is a very nicely laid out helm with two rows of rocker switches, and I always like to see circuit breakers under the switches which saves you having to stock your tool kit with fuses. Hydrasports Custom also supplied the 23 Bay Bolt with Yamaha's new multifunction display. This feature lets you customize the screen allowing for a variety of different displays to suit your needs and desires. One great optional feature, that was included on our test boat, is the jack plate. Activating a switch at the helm allows you to bring the engine up vertically a full 6 inches, thereby decreasing your draft without changing the trim or running profile of the boat. This can all be done on the fly.With the top of the console being used to stand on when operating from the tower, top mounting a compass is problematic.There is a flush mounted compass in the center of the panel. Its position allows room for a 12" (30.48 cm) display to the side, but its functionality leaves a lot to be desired. The compass card kept getting jammed which became irritating after only a few minutes. I fault Ritchie Compass for that feature as opposed to Hydrasports Custom, and an easy fix would be installing a GPS in conjunction with your 12" (30.48 cm) display, and incorporating your heading readout into that display. Mounting the compass on the top of the console is not an option if you plan on using the optional tower, which I highly recommend. In that case the top of the console becomes a standing platform for tower operation, negating the option of mounting the compass there.Battery banks are stored under the console, with room for additional power for trolling motor applications. Underneath the console is access to your batteries via a pull down door that lies against the deck. I thought this might be a little awkward to work on the batteries with this door in place and evidently Hydrasports Custom feels the same way. Just a simple push sideways releases the barrel hinges and the door removes allowing an unobstructed work area.There are still two changes I'd like to see made to the helm area. First is a recessed area added at the bottom of the console to put your feet into. I just couldn't seem to get close enough to the helm. Secondly a flat footrest next to the rod holders on the sides of the console would be nice. The starboard side has one for accessing the tower. I would get a second from the dealer, and even mount it myself on the portside. The Pump RoomA convenient feature found in every Hydrasports Custom boat is access to a pump room from the center of the cockpit deck. Opening the hatch gives you a clear view at a glance of your bilge pumps, livewell pumps, washdown pumps, and an unobstructed view of the bilge area. This is a great feature to have and I applaud Hydrasports Custom every time I see it.I also notice that the pickup line for the livewell aerator is fitted with a raw water strainer that easily unscrews for cleaning. This is an important feature. When operating in shallow water, it's pretty much a given that you're going to be picking up grass in your intakes and having a quick way to clean them out is important.Aft DeckA second livewell allows you the option of fishing different baits. In the center of the aft casting platform is a 32 gallon livewell. Having this additional livewell not only allows you the ability to keep your bait accessible from both the bow and stern, but also provides you the flexibility to fish with multiple baits. To either side of the aft cockpit are compartments for Plano tackle drawers. Convenient storage for Plano drawers is built into the raised stern casting deck.Above And BeyondA steering knob aids in maneuvering around tight spaces. The engine control on the leftside of its base allows for a convenient hand rest when operating.Our 23 Bay Bolt was fitted with an optional tower and I found it to be a great feature. Operating a boat this fast, from this elevated platform, makes you feel like a kid in a candy store. You won't find sitting room in the tower but you will find a comfortable leaning post that is positioned just right to allow you easy access to the helm. Padded bolsters are all around, rocket launchers are aft, and a multifunction display gives you complete instrumentation. A flip down step on the starboard side of the console allows you easy access to the tower, and increases your visibility dramatically.ObservationsHydrasports Custom is no stranger to fishing and they know that going after different species in different conditions may require customized features and the company stands ready to give the active angler exactly what he wants. In this way, the Hydrasports Custom 23 Bay Bolt can be used in many different location and perfectly suited for the application.

We need to do some recruiting.. Licensed people and unlicensed alike.
I'm going to throw out some ideas.. I don't expect all of them to stick (nor do I think they are all "good" ideas - just throwing stuff out to start a conversation). Whatever we do, we should do it quickly and soon while the beginning of the school year is still here and produce some traction before people get busy with finals and projects.
Here it goes:
Planning session for APRS at Coach Hep Cancer Challenge 2009
Wednesday 13 May, 6:00 PM in the IMU Charter Room
Starting this thread to collect ideas for fall meeting presentations and/or workshops. These should be held monthly and be advertised to the general student body (postings in CS buildings, radio/tv, etc)..
I'll kick start the list with a few topics:
- PSK31 demonstration (finding a way to do this inside a lecture hall like in INFO would be cool, gear it towards non-hams and advertise it as such).. Doing this inside the shack would be quite limiting.

HOUSTON -- Despite predictions the world might be coming to an end, many people in Houston spent Thursday night partying instead of panicking.
Hundreds of people attended an "end of the world" party at J Blacks on Washington Avenue. People said no matter what happened in the morning, they planned to have a good time.
"I just want to feel good," said one woman who was surrounded by her girlfriends.
The Mayan Calendar ends on 12/21/12.

They say the truth will set you free. Oklahoma Sooners forward Joanna McFarland is testament to the adage.
A returning starter entering her senior year, she was sent to the bench after three lackluster games to begin the season in which she totaled six points, 12 rebounds, 10 fouls and one assist.
In her next five games, coming off the bench, she totaled 29 points, 43 rebounds, 13 fouls and seven assists.
Then Whitney Hand lost her season to a torn ACL in the first half against North Texas. In that game and the next three, in which McFarland returned to the starting lineup, she totaled 35 points, 44 rebounds, 11 fouls and six assists.
Sometimes it takes the truth revealing itself in simple terms. In the first place, McFarland wasn't playing up to expectation. Dealt a consequence, she realized her role in clearer terms and responded. When Hand exited, leaving just eight healthy bodies on the roster and McFarland the only senior among them, the terms and stakes became more stark and more clear.
"I think I just didn't know my role. We had all these new players, I was trying to figure out where I fit in," said McFarland, who has emerged as a leader just in time for Big 12 conference play, which begins at 7 tonight inside Lloyd Noble Center, where OU meets West Virginia. "Now, it's very apparent. We need every single person right now, we need their 'A' game, and I guess that just made it easier."
A consistent contributor since arriving on campus from Derby, Kan., McFarland has averaged 3.8, 5.3 and 5.4 points, and 3.8, 6.6 and 5.9 rebounds her previous three seasons.
Within those seasons, she has enjoyed spells of expanded production. Still, lately, there appears to be a clarity of purpose not present in the past. Others have seen it.
"I think she's gotten over herself," Hand said. "Sometimes you're paralyzed with fear, and Jo and I have both had that problem … But she's playing for something bigger than herself right now and it's really obvious. She's kind of let go of all of her fears and she's just playing."
In the past, McFarland has been prone to overthinking her role and next move. But in her team's time of need, she has played untethered basketball.
"She's one of the most competitive kids I've ever met. In anything, she wants to win," Sooner coach Sherri Coale said. "If she makes a 99 on a test, she's irritated because she should have made 100. And this situation is just kind of built for her. She understands what she has to do and how many people are counting on her."
Even fans are noticing.
In OU's last game, a 79-57 victory over Cal-State Northridge, McFarland was limited by foul trouble, but still scored nine points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Also, she ended a 2-of-16 streak from beyond the arc by hitting 2 of 3 3-pointers, a skill in which she's proven adept in the past. Yet it was the opening moments, when she controlled the offensive glass, that left the biggest impression.
"A fan came up to me," McFarland said, "and said 'Thank you for playing so hard.'"
It's not lost on her teammates, either.
"She set the tone," Hand said, "and everybody followed that."
Keeping it going, or bringing yet more, won't be easy against stiff conference competition. Whatever, McFarland knows her assignment.
"It's my last chance and we don't have very many players," she said. "It's all or nothing right now."

text: Yet each man will always be remembered for the messages he declared---messages that still resound today. Piper explores each of these men's lives, integrating Augustine's delight in God with Luther's emphasis on the Word and Calvin's exposition of Scripture. Through their strengths and struggles, we can learn how to live better today. As we consider their lives, we behold the glory and majesty of God and find power to overcome our weaknesses. If you're ever complacent about sin, lose the joy of Jesus, or become dulled by the world's influence, the lives of these men can help you recapture the wonder of God. Book 1 in The Swans Are Not Silent series.
