Beaches & Baobabs of Northern Madagascar
Madagascar, Discovery, 13 days - from £1,995 (land only) - from €2,395 (land only) - from $3,295 (land only)
- Discover Northern Madagascar
- Lemurs, landscape and laid-back beach life
- Meet the Indri indri at the Perinet Reserve
- Coastal exploration at Antisiranana / Diego Saurez
- Two full days on the paradise island of Nosy Be
With its distinctive indigenous wildlife and welcoming human population whose language has its origins in distant Polynesia, Madagascar is a land apart. Few visitors make it to the north of this vast island, where spectacular landscapes, endless beaches and much of that incredible wildlife can be found. Arriving in the capital, Antanananrivo, we spend a day searching for the biggest of the lemurs, the Indri indri, in a nearby park, before flying north to Antisiranana (Diego Suarez). Here, our exploration includes the hike to the lighthouse at Cap Mine, followed by a day in the Amber Mountain National Park, with its tree ferns, orchids, crater lakes and 7 species of lemurs. Then, in the Ankarana National Park, we check out a limestone reef formation eroded into jagged pinnacles and search for bats in the many caves. Finally, we take a boat from Ankify to the delightfully named island of Nosy Be, where we have 2 full days to chill out or arrange further optional activities at a beach resort.
Is this holiday for you?
This discovery holiday is designed to provide an insight into the many different elements in Northern Madagascar. We have a few days with day walks from the hotel and these are relaxed exploratory walks of 3-5hrs. Some walks will be through the forest, some along beaches and some through the dry Tsingy area. There is much wildlife to see, especially lemurs. The last 3 nights are spent on Nosy Be relaxing with optional activities.

Cultural appeal
County boasts variety of ethnic events
This time of the year, there's no shortage of fun things to do in Henrico County.
For example, on two recent weekends, some of the county's diverse music and dance offerings were on display at three events.
You could enjoy performances by a Latin ballet company, a church choir and Asian Indian dancers.
Ana Ines King, director of the Latin Ballet of Virginia, and two members of the Glen Allen-based company performed June 23 at the CultureWorks CultSha Xpo.
Dressed in a shimmering, floor-length red dress and fringed shawl, King performed a Spanish flamenco on the Science Museum of Virginia's rotunda stage.
Her dance featured beautiful fluid motions alternating with swirling spins as her shawl stayed in almost-constant motion. She twirled across the small stage, punctuating the dance with rapid-fire footsteps.
Afterwards, King introduced two young dancers costumed in brilliant, tropical colors. The duo performed a hot Caribbean rumba.
For the finale, the trio invited spectators onto the stage for a group dance lesson.
King, who founded the company, said the arts play a dominant role in Latin cultures.
"The most important part of the culture and part of the history is actually dance and music and without that we cannot live," King said.
The following day in Chester another kind of dance took center stage.
Henrico County resident Bina Shah hurried around the expansive Cultural Center of India making last-minute arrangements for the final day of the Taste of India event.
About 100 people, many from Henrico, performed at the two-day festival. Sunday's opening performance was a classical Indian dance called Bharat Natyam. The dance, performed by four teens, featured elaborate traditional dress and a tribute to Lord Ganesha, the Indian elephant god.
Shah said the event's music, dance and food were an opportunity for people to learn about India's culture without leaving the country.
"We take them to India without going to India… you experience India here," she said.
The following weekend it was busy at Gravel Hill Center in Varina despite damaging storms the night before and a temperature of 100 degrees by noon on Saturday.
The historic community hosted its "Civil War to Civil Rights" event as part of the 150th anniversary of the Battle of Glendale.
About a dozen members of Gravel Hill Baptist Church's combined choir gathered under a large white tent dressed casually in the steamy weather.
Accompanied by Alvin Campbell, a music teacher at Highland Springs High School, the choir sang four songs including, "We've Come This Far By Faith" and "Amazing Grace."
James Washington Jr., chairman of the church's music committee, said gospel music appeals to people across many cultures.
"Anybody can sing gospel music. As long as your heart is right and you have the right spirit, you can sing gospel music," Washington said. "Gospel music is something that everybody can relate to."
Even if you missed these performances, Henrico County's broad range of cultural events take place year round. The Cultural Arts Center at Glen Allen is one of the county's busiest venues.
"We make certain that our performance offerings are culturally diverse," said Anita Waters, director of public relations and marketing for the center. "Over the [past] five years … we have strategically included the Shangri-La Chinese Acrobats, The Harlem Gospel Choir, Kenya Safari Acrobats, Ezibu Muntu African Dance Company and Eleone Dance Theatre to name a few, as a way to allow our patrons the ability to experience the artistic styles from different cultures and ethnicities."
So even when this summer's heat melts into fall and eventually winter, there will still be plenty of opportunities to experience a diverse range of arts, music and dance in Henrico County.

Agencies combine on new entry point to Chickahominy
Canoeing and kayaking enthusiasts soon will have a new access point to the Chickahominy River. VDOT, the James River Association and Henrico County Parks and Recreation are teaming up to establish a new site in Eastern Henrico.
The James River Association negotiated the deal with VDOT to procure official access to the area located just east of I-295 on North Airport Road in Sandston. The site includes a park-and-ride commuter lot bordering the Chickahominy River and has been an unofficial launch site used by paddlers for years. > Read more.

Adviser Leads: how to pitch to Kevin Forbes of Strategic Solutions
by David Campbell on Nov 16, 2012 at 00:01
Kevin Forbes is a chartered financial planner and one of the four partners at Strategic Solutions. He specialises in the pension marketplace, but also investments. The other partners are investment and trust specialists.
Strategic Solutions is a firm of chartered financial planners based in Bournemouth, covering the south coast from Somerset and Wiltshire, across Dorset to Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. It was set up just over two years ago when the four principals of the business decided that their particular skills and experience would blend well together. Its assets under management have grown to around £65 million in the last two years. It has six authorised advisers in total (including the partners), with another three joining in the New Year.
What are the most important factors for you when selecting a discretionary fund manager (DFM)?
The ability of the DFM to blend in and fit the culture of our firm, rather than expecting us to fit theirs is of paramount importance. Our four core values of integrity, professionalism, transparency and the pursuit of quality must be reflected in all of the business partners we choose. It is a cliché, but a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. We take full responsibility for our investment process and client proposition and that cannot be compromised by our choice of DFM. The DFM must be willing to fully engage with us as a firm and support us in supporting our clients.
What will make or break a pitch?
Bland, scripted auto-pilot approaches. Not finding out anything about our business and clients, how we work and how we expect others to work with us. We aren't interested in flashy sales pitches, expensive offices and faux promises. Making a decision where to place our clients' money is one we don't take lightly, at our own model portfolio level or when outsourcing.
What were the reasons for selecting your current providers?
We looked into both quantitative and qualitative measures. We feel the 'soft facts' regarding personnel, service proposition and integration into our business are as important as the performance figures and methodology of approach, which we all know can change rapidly. After market research and word of mouth recommendations from trusted sources gave us a short list to approach, we completed due diligence questionnaires we designed ourselves. We then narrowed this down to the three DFMs we felt were the best for our clients and business model, and approached them to agree a charging structure that best helped our clients and fitted in with our proposition.

Arizona Cardinals' Ray Horton channeling inner Dick Lebeau on tackling issues
The Arizona Cardinals defense, which is coming off a poor showing against the San Francisco 49ers, needs to step it up against a potent Green Bay Packers pass offense this Sunday at Lambeau Field.
The Packers have built a powerhouse offense around a pass-first philosophy and have assembled the second-best red zone attack in the league this season.
While the Cardinals defense has been the team's strength this season, their performance against the 49ers was troubling.
"On Monday Night Football, [the 49ers] biggest plays came on a three, a four and a six-yard pass. It's embarrassing and they know it and they'll respond," defensive coordinator Ray Horton said.
Horton doesn't believe changing the scheme will make a difference. He said the problem is much simpler and easy to fix. It's also an area he placed much more emphasis on in practice this week.
"Tackling. There is nothing wrong schematically. It's just we have to make a play that's presented in front of us," Horton said.
The Cardinals missed a total of six tackles against the Niners on Monday night, and while that's not a high number, two resulted in touchdowns.
Horton will take a page out of Dick Lebeau's playbook this week, the Hall of Famer and legendary defensive coordinator of the Steelers, who Horton learned his effective 3-4 blitz under at Cincinnati and Pittsburgh.
"At this level guys understand technique and what they're supposed to do," Horton explained. "But did we do extra tackling drills, yes we did. I was disappointed in how we performed tackling against the San Francisco 49ers or lack thereof tackling."
The Cardinals defense certainly has a pedigree of talented backs that have the ability to make key stops when called upon. They'll need to play like they did the first four games of the year when they were revered as one of the best units in the NFL if they hope to contain an aggressive Packers attack.

Apple releases iOS 6.1.4 for iPhone 5, updates audio profile for speakerphone
If you own an iPhone 5, you'll soon be seeing the iOS 6.1.4 update show up if you haven't already. The update appears to only be for iPhone 5 users and contains an update to the audio profile for speakerphone.
If and when we find out more about the update, we'll update accordingly. Have you installed iOS 6.1.4 already? Notice any differences? Be sure to let us know in the comments!
There are 18 comments. Add yours.
Omg it's completely redesigned!
just download the new update! to me it makes the speaker sound much more clearer then before tried a call and used the speaker and i find it made a big improvement fro before! much clearer sound!
So exciting :p
Just downloaded and updated as well. Not sure if there is any improvement to voice over speaker as I rarely ever used that and whenever I did use it, it always worked without much to complain about. :)
Question: why doesn't iTunes support OTA update patches like we have on the iPhone? I mean, I got notified of the update via iTunes and told it to download and update my phone (connected to it at the moment obviously). It started downloading a whooping 989 MB file...! Checked for updates on my iPhone and the update over the air is just shy of 11-12 MB in size.
The 989 MB file is the whole OS, the 11-12 MB is just the patch. When people update from their PC's now-a-days, it's to do the whole OS, not just the patch.
I know that... just saying it should have the option to download the patch instead of the full install. Given that I live in a country where options of 3G aren't even available yet, when I only have a wired DSL connection (95% of the time I have WiFi but there are the occassional moments when I have to switch to an eVo device without WiFi), then I can only download and apply updates via iTunes. But of course, downloading 989 MB over 3.1 MB eVo... well it's just difficult!
It would be nice to download it ota rather than wi-fi it's only 11.something mb geeezzzzz
Tend to use speaker phone a lot when doing stuff around the house while making calls. Always felt the speaker sound quality was pretty poor and choppy. I may be imagining things but it seems the quality has improved a bit. Much sharper sound.
I notice absolutely no difference.
When will it come to the i phone 4s
is it only for iPhone 5? B'coz my 4S not showing..!!
I don't know, maybe the title of the news is not clear enough "Apple releases iOS 6.1.4 for iPhone 5", i'm gonna call some people to be sure...
I heard a major difference last night, while talking to my sister alien noises started billowing from the speakerphone!
backing up to icloud first
updating now
took about 4 minutes to fully complete
test call on speaker sounded more crisp
hope it fixes the loud screeching from the earpiece when i make calls!
I downloaded iOS 6.1.4 OTA, 18mb. I didn't download 6.1.3 since I read about battery drain complaints. Am I missing something for skipping the previous iOS patch?

Enabling employers to meet the new vision and priorities in adult social care
A comprehensive overview of the size and structure of the adult social care sector. 2014 reports will be available soon.
Support and guidance for the social care informatics workforce.
The latest infographic from NMDS-SC focussing on the churn of staff in the sector.
The social care sector is changing and growing rapidly, which means it's important that the sector has clear, robust evidence of its size and scale to help reinforce its position as a key employer of workers in the country.
Social care was once described as a 'data desert' so Skills for Care has invested heavily in sound research that allows the sector to plan based on hard facts not just anecdotal evidence. We undertake a large range of research activity that covers issues relevant to workforce development and service provision within the social care sector. The role of informatics in social care looks at the collection, storage, analysis and presentation of information is an emerging area for development.
Our National Minimum Data Set for Social Care is the recognised leading source of robust workforce intelligence for adult social care and has already signed up more than 26,000 providers and their employees, who are helping us to produce rich data that will inform future planning for 1.6 million adult care staff.
This section contains innovative tools and resources developed with employers that help meet the workforce development needs of the sector now and in the future.

Synchronize To The Stereotype? (Hell NO!)
People fascinate me, they truly do. You have the children: refusing to listen, willing to compromise (well, most of the time), eager to gain knowledge, and constantly giving you reasons to look at things differently and think, "Why DOESN'T this matter?", and you will find more often than not that they teach you more than you could teach them. Children think, they listen, they believe. Why can't the older generations?
And then you have the typical teenager: seemingly bipolar, hormonal, constantly looking for ways to fit in AND be unique and 'colorful'. They find someone they think they will be with forever, only to realize, "Hey....I don't give a shit about the person I'm with..." and so they move onto the next victim. Meanwhile, the poor guy or girl sits back and thinks, "What did I do wrong?", or "What's wrong with me?". They're put through trial after trial, until eventually, they believe that they are unworthy of even trying any more. And with this, the adolescent becomes an adult...
Now, define adult. Physically bigger? More emotionally stable? Intellectually decided? Financially and/or romantically set? Pick your poison, honey, because I personally think that it's all bullshit. You are not what people say you are: you are who you believe you can be. Set your goal, make sure it's what YOU want and what YOU need. The future you live for can only be seen through your eyes, and the air you breathe is what fills YOUR lungs. If there's no air, how do you breathe? If there's no color or personal definition to life, why be here? The end is always the same for all of us, but how we get there is unique. Do not live to die, die to live. Inspiration, motivation, determination...the sickness is spreading....
"If it all amounts to nothing, why, then, am I standing in this line..."
O well you are welcome no problem my schedule change at work has made it interesting to have time for much commenting here but tryin to get here more. Yea sex drugs n rock n roll lol ahh those were the days. Some people grow up some dont n some hold onto such things as drugs like a blanket crippling their potential to be who they wanna or coild be n its sad. Not to judge anyone at all coz we all get thru our day however we can but some should let things go bein clean has much potential most dont realize or care to try lol. But yea there lots people are missing character wise even before the newer generation even in my own generation to be honest but all in all it balances out mostly n thats what makes the world go around. Peace Maiden may ya grow even wiser.
Haha! Thank you so much! I'm so glad to know that there are actually people out there like you who agree with me and the way I see things. My generation is falling apart and I think that it's about time to straighten them up, wouldn't you say? All people care about anymore is sex, drugs, and crappy music. Anyway, if you'd like to talk more about the insanity of people today, here I am! (Thanks for reading and commenting, it made my day.) :)
Hey Maiden very very true n im totally shockd u posted this on Monday n n not a soul has commented Really!!! Figures. I too am phisophical n analistic so totally get n agreed what ya sayin. The ones who suppose to be grown act like children. As children we are born insitful n intuned n most people grow out of it n ignore the natural way we are n become ignorant instead of smarter. Great n impressing for a young mind not many are so together anymore. Teach the ignorant is hard to do lol

Growing up my dream was to wear the pinstripes and celebrate winning the World Series. I did that in 2009 but I was in my living room in the same jersey I bought my freshman year of high school. It also wasn't with the Yankees. Ok, so that dream never really panned out.
Regardless, I love sports and couldn't imagine a better place to be than bringing Siouxland the best in prep, college and pro coverage! There is no script to sports and just when you think you know what's going to happen (in the words of John Madden) "BOOM!" You're mind gets blown and your left wondering," did that really just happen?"
Growing up in a military family, I lived in eight states and in Japan for eight years. Moving and living in different places, and experiencing new cultures allowed me gain a better understanding of sports and the stories that drive the business.
After graduating from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, I spent the next few months selling shoes for New Balance, before landing my first job as the Weekend Sports Anchor at KNOP-TV in North Platte, Nebraska.
I love the Yankees, Nets and Broncos. Yes, I bleed Husker red.

Second Life Workshops
FSU is now offering two workshops to faculty members and staff who would like to explore using the 3D Virtual Reality environment known as Second Life. Second Life is a free virtual tool that can be used to supplement instruction or hold meetings real time in a virtual environment.
Second Life Basic Skills Workshop (New to Second Life) is the first course where you will learn how to become a member of Second Life, down-load the software tool, create your avatar, navigate, and communicate in the virtual world. You must complete this course prior to taking the Intermediate section. You have the option of enrolling in either the self-paced course or the instructor led course.
Second Life Intermediate Skills Workshop is the second course where you will learn how to create instructional materials and manage your class or group in world. To enroll in this course you will need to complete the Basic Skills Workshop or obtain permission from the course facilitator.
Rik Bair, Instructional Designer in the ACIT department, facilitates this course.
Scheduled session(s): Registration typically closes up to 1 week prior to the session start date.
About the program:
This program is entirely online; however, the option for synchronous meetings can be discussed. Notify the course instructor and a lab and time will be reserved.
The Second Life workshops will take place in both Blackboard and Second Life. We will use Blackboard to provide you with resources and to communicate with you. In Second Life, you will be immersed in the virtual environment where you gain first-hand experience as an avatar that you create to represent yourself "in world".
Equipment needed: A headset with a built-in microphone. If you do not have a head set, you can borrow one from the ACIT helpdesk: X7777
The courses will be offered in a revolving schedule back-to-back. If you cannot make the second part of a workshop, you will always be welcome to participate when it is offered again.
Register for one of the following sessions:
Basic Skills Workshop (Sept 16-27)
Intermediate Skills Workshop (Sept 30 - Oct 11th)
(Registration will reactivate once a new available session has been announced)

---- — City officials are looking to a newly hired development director to bridge the gap between Gloucester and the local development group that oversaw the creation of Gloucester's industrial parks, while also drawing new businesses into the city.
The city hired Manchester resident Thomas Daniel to fill the position for a Director of the Community Development Department, freeing Harbor Planner Sarah Garcia from an overflow of director tasks, Mayor Carolyn Kirk said Tuesday, and taking a step toward focusing on job growth as the city slipped to a January unemployment rate of 10.1 percent, its highest in nearly two years and 36 percent higher than the state's jobless rate of 7.4.
These figures arrive at a time when city officials say calls from people interested in planting businesses here are flooding in.
"Before we would have inquiries maybe once every couple months, and now Tom Daniel has a pipeline of six or seven businesses," Mayor Carolyn Kirk said Tuesday. "We're looking to be efficient and we wanted to build our capacity in economic development without just adding staff, so we looked for a combination of experience that could build the economic capacity and do the broader job of community development director."
Daniel came to Gloucester in February after serving as Salem's economic development manager. Daniel is certified as a certified housing development and economic development finance professional by the National Development Council. Daniel attended the University of Minnesota and holds a master's degree in Urban and Regional Planning.
Kirk said creating this position, which was included in the current fiscal year's budget and carries an annual salary of $89,600, allows Garcia to fully focus on harbor development and reorganizes the system in a way that streamlines everything economic development related to Daniel, who can then direct inquiries to the correct city officials.
"It's streamlining the businesses' experience in trying to do business with the city and also, by teaming up, showcases all of the properties in the city," Kirk said.
Daniel said Tuesday he is already enjoying working with Gloucester's existing businesses and those interested in locating here.
"I'm thrilled to be working professionally in a community I care about personally," he said.
Daniel has set his focus on seeking out state and local resources and creating opportunities for community residents to find jobs, while opening a door to new opportunities for people at every level of education.
"In terms of economic development, there tends to be three legs to the stool," Daniel said. "One is real estate, one is finance and one is people, so it's about working on all three of these."
Also setting his sites on those three legs is the city-based Economic Development and Industrialization Corporation's new executive director Thomas Gillett, who replaced the retiring former director in January.
The development organization's chair, Becky Bernie, commended Gillett's work and said Gillett, who has lived in Gloucester for years, will work with the city to more so than the organization has done in the past. According to Bernie, the city's goals and the organization's missions have begun to line up recently, as the organization has finished filling Blackburn Industrial Park with business and is looking toward reusing existing space.
Gillett, she said, is working on a citywide inventory of vacant, business-usable space. The hope, Bernie said, is to usher in businesses that will, in turn, create jobs for residents.
"The whole push is through business, but we're approaching it from a very different angle than offering a lot and seeing who will come," Bernie said. "Rather we're seeing who will come, then finding a place for them. We're sort of changing the focus."
Marjorie Nesin can be reached at 978-283-7000, x3451, or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Though the physical damage is minimal after a , the damage to the psyche of those who attend services there has been severe.
No one was injured during the incident, which occurred as 500 people were inside the mosque attending Ramadan services.
"In the minds of our people, they are very scared; now when they arrive here they are running into the building as fast as they can, in fear," said Amanadullah Ansari, head of MEC operations.
Ansari said the problems with Conrad, who lives adjacent and east of the MEC, have been ongoing for years.
"This is not the first time we've had problems with him, since we applied for a permit for our school, he has been very vocal against us, he hates us," Ansari said.
Ansari said Conrad also has called police on numerous occasions complaining about attendees parked near his home on the street and noise made from shutting car doors.
In addition to the mosque itself, there also is unease regarding the children attending the school connected to it.
"As a former chairman of the school, I am concerned about the safety of all of the children, including my own daughter who is a student," Rizwan Kadir, a Glenview resident and member of the congregation.
Previous reports stated law enforcement was investigating the incident to determine if the incident was in fact a hate crime. No information was included about that in a press release from Morton Grove Police Sunday.
"The words hate crime are strong words, do I feel that there is hate here, yes," Kadir said.
A bond hearing for Conrad will be held today, and his court date to face the charges against him is tenatively scheduled for Aug. 22.
The incident comes on the heels of a shooting in Oak Creek, WI. where seven people, including the shooter, were killed on Aug. 5.
"I am hopeful there will come a day when people who do not understand one another's beliefs can come together," Kadir said.
Ramadan continues through the end of this week, and Ansari said a strong police presence will remain at the mosque during services to protect attendees.

Volkswagen GTI Transmission Problems
rwmcdime Posts: 1i have a 08 GTI/DSG and i had the mechatronic unit replaced its the computer that controls the shifting and when it goes bad u get hard shifting and lagging and a jerking under power most dealers wont test it because they haft to call the tech line and run a lot of test and only tech line can approve the repair of the mechatronic unit and the reason the DSG service is so much is the oil required for the DGS is $24 a quart and it hold 9 quarts and most labor rates around me are $107 a hour
glass81 Posts: 1Okay I bin there. I have a 07 GTI. I have my clutch go (32200miles) it was not covered it fell under the ware and tare. but after the clutch was fixed the master cylinder was also bad. also part of the clutch but that was covered. there has bin a lot more go wrong with the car from the start of the clutch problem.
mike8813 Posts: 1I just locked up a 2012 VW Golf 2.5 4 door. The big update to the 2012 model that I wanted was an adjustable center armrest (With the "convenience package"). Got a great deal at more than $1,000 less than MSRP on a 2012, which was fantastic.
The 2012 was hard to come by though, and the dealer I went through basically had to negotiate with another dealership to get one off the boat before it even reached the U.S. Anyway, if you can get a deal similar to mine I don't see a reason to get the '11 over the '12. Look up the Zag car buying service, it really helped get me a great price. I had access to it through my USAA membership.
kitty12345 Posts: 12007 Volkswagen GTI w/less than 50,000 road miles. Transmission has failed -mechanic said a part in the transmission failed and 2 of wheels were bent inside. My husband loves this car and takes excellent care of all of our cars, my 1998 Toyota has 250,000 miles with no problems. The Volkswagen was a salesmen car and we feel we were sold a damage vehicle. They have had our car for over 2 weeks and still isn't fixed. What would you recommed as we have never abused our cars and are on a fixed income and it has become quite expensive.?
Hey bro honestly i have a 2008 GTI Coupe 23 psi boost exhaust and chipped thats all and I have the same exact problems as you but i had it at 38,000 miles. Now I went to the mechanic since my warranty expired he said i was running on no transmission fluid. He also claimed that i need a new clutch. now as if for shifting when i go slow my car is fine when im speeding at like 60 or 70 my car tends to go from 6th gear to neutral by itself it pops back all on its own. If i were you I'd much more rather you go to a Foreign Transmission Specialist because these cars run amazing once they are all fixed up.
My car was bought from a dealer and my transmission has failed also. So i highly down you have been sold a damaged vehicle i have a 2008 GTI Coupe and now I need a new clutch and Transmission. My mechanic said I was running on no transmission fluid therefore i think maybe you should get that checked out to see if its leaking or something.

Wednesday, September 14, 2005MOREHEAD STATE (2-0, 0-0 PFL South) at VALPARAISO (1-1, 0-0 PFL North)
WHEN: Saturday, September 17, 2005, 12 p.m. CDT.
WHERE: Brown Field (5,000), Valparaiso, Ind.
RADIO: Valpo Sports Radio Network (WVUR, 95.1-FM, Valparaiso; WAKE, 1500-AM, Valparaiso; Relevant Radio 1270-AM, Gary; and WE-FM, 95.9-FM, Michigan City). Also available on the web at www.valpo.edu/athletics. Todd Ickow will handle the play-by-play with Brent Whitlock providing the color commentary.
TV: None.
THE COACHES: Valparaiso is led by Stacy Adams, who is in his 1st season as the Crusader head coach. He is 1-1 overall and at Valpo. Morehead State is led by Matt Ballard, who is 101-78-1 in his 18th season overall and 66-53 in his 12 season with the Eagles.
SERIES RECORD: Morehead State leads the all-time series with the Crusaders 8-2 dating back to the 1996 season.
LAST MEETING: Morehead State raced out to a 23-7 halftime lead and survived Valpo's 16-point fourth quarter rally to defeat Valparaiso 29-23 in Morehead, Ky. on October 2, 2004. Jabari McGee rushed for 124 yards and two touchdowns for the Eagles. Ryan Doerffler threw two touchdown passes and Rob Giancola made four receptions for 109 yards in the loss for the Crusaders.
For the first time this season, Valparaiso will be able to play at the familiar surroundings of Brown Field on Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders host Morehead State. For the Crusaders, it marks a return to NCAA 1-AA non-scholarship competition after playing 1-AA scholarship South Dakota State last Saturday. Valpo dropped the game against the Jackrabbits 69-6.
DEEEEE-FENSE: Mike Jones has had his nose around the football quite a bit this season for the Crusaders on the defensive side of the ball. Valpo's starting strong safety leads the team in tackles with 22 on the season, including 12 last Saturday at South Dakota State. In addition, he recovered a pair of fumbles against the Jackrabbits. In the season opener against Wisconsin Lutheran, Jones picked off a pass in addition to making ten stops.
FINDING A CONNECTION: Ryan Doerffler has connected on 73.5% of his passes through two games for the Crusaders. The redshirt sophomore is 25-of-34 but is still looking for his first touchdown toss of the season. Doerffler was 20-of-26 (76.9%) on Saturday at South Dakota State.
ITS UP AND ITS GOOD: Andrew McCawley made two of his three field goal attempts on Saturday to account for the Crusaders only points. The redshirt junior is now 18-of-26 in his career. He made kicks from 46 and 34 yards for the Crusaders, with his lone miss coming from 40 yards out.
HORTON AMONG NATION'S BEST: Jeff Horton ranks third among all NCAA Division I-AA schools in rushing, averaging 141.5 yards per game. Horton trails just Jermaine Austin of Georgia Southern (160.0 ypg) and Lerron Moore of Western Kentucky (150.0 ypg). Horton also ranks 11th in the country with 181.0 all-purpose yards per game.
HOME SWEET HOME: Valparaiso has won the last two home openers here at Brown Field, including a 41-0 triumph last season against Wisconsin Lutheran. The Crusaders are 9-3 in their last 12 home openers dating back to the 1993 season. Last year, Valpo was 5-1 at Brown Field.
DOWN THE ROAD: Valparaiso will conclude its two-game homestand here at Brown Field next Saturday afternoon as the Crusaders host Davidson. Kickoff is set for noon. The Brown and Gold will then head to Austin Peay on October 1 for a 1 p.m. contest with the Governors.
MOREHEAD STATE NOTES: Morehead State has opened the season with a pair of tight victories. In the season opener at Saint Francis (Pa.), the Eagles pulled out a 26-25 victory. Last week in the home opener, Morehead State emerged victorious by the score of 35-33.
The preseason pick to win the PFL South this season, Morehead State has been lead offensively by quarterback Brian Yost. The sophomore has thrown for 306 yards and three touchdowns during the opening two games.
Eli Parkes has been a favorite target of Yost, catching five passes for 100 yards already this season. Rushing the football, Parkes also leads the way with ten carries for 84 yards.
On defense, Jordan Shafer and Vincent Hinkle lead the way with 21 tackles a piece in just two outings. Shafer has also forced and recovered a fumble this season.
Head coach Matt Ballard won his 100th career game in the opener against Saint Francis.

Back in December, NBC's Tim Russert conceded that the media were less interested in covering a successful U.S. mission in Iraq, telling anchor Brian Williams that "with the surge in Iraq and the level of American deaths declining, it is off the front pages."
it seems more likely that the MSM just isn't covering Iraq, period.So the MSM is dedicated to the idea that Iraq is no longer an issue of significance
No, it certainly is not significant. The Dems decide that the economy is the main issue to push, and the lapdogs follow suit.
McCain advocating 100 years of wasting money and lives
The US military is overstretched, the public has (thankfully) soured on military adventurism so it is clear that future Presidents won't be able at least in the next 20 or so years engage in similar fiascos, and the US is weakened internationally, facing $100 a barrell oil and a dollar declining rapidly in value.
The President's unpopularity caused him not only to lose his GOP majority, but his entire effort to create an "opportunity society" crashed and burned. He never got to try out his market oriented reforms, and thanks to Iraq, the Democrats are in a position to assure that perhaps those reforms never get tried. Meanwhile, the GOP majority is sacrificed not only in Congress, but in general, as thanks to Iraq, America moves leftward.
Meanwhile, over five years into it, as all the goals and predictions that had been set have been shown wrong, success is defined down to stability in Iraq, something we might achieve someday if we wait long enough.
When one defines success so far down as saying that if stability EVER comes to Iraq, then we've succeeded, the silliness of the claim is self-evident. In terms of domestic politics and international affairs, Iraq has been a disaster for the US, and especially for the Republican party and conservatism.
Iran is stronger in the Mideast,
the Democrats are much stronger in the US,
Russia is flexing its muscle and woeing Europe and China,
and the US moves down the ladder in terms of relevance on the world stage. Meanwhile the Taliban is resurgent in Afghanistan and the real enemies — al qaeda and Islamic extremists — are laughing. Yeah. Success.
As for the price of oil and the decline of the dollar, that's greatly unrelated to the war and you know it.
But it's probably a good thing that we are learning some humility.
The US is on a decline, directly related to the fiasco in Iraq, and I don't think you guys are facing up to reality.
Also, Iranian power is unrelated to Ahmadinejad. The power is with the Guardian Council, Ahmadinejad is a bit player.
Face it, no opportunity society, the Democrats on the rise, oil prices skyrocketing, the US economy crumbling while we spend hundreds of billions on an unnecessary war, weakening us.
There is no way this can be seen as anything but a foreign policy disaster.
Oh, here's an interesting story about Iraq. Doesn't look good.
As usual, we can rely on Erb to link us to another Liberal Hack.
-Ahmadinejad is far from a puppet. He has extensive authority to set government policy, especially given Khamenei's indifference to politics over the past years.
Erbie, I'll tell ya what's delicious. It's watching you get pwned so often. And then seeing that you're so clueless you don't even realize it. That never stops being funny.
Yet in the real world, my view is the majority.

Only a couple of weeks have gone by since I purchased this item, but it has already seen many hours of use. I like how the nose of the sander is its own individual piece so it can be replaced if needed in the future.

This tool works great on small projects. I needed to sand a few rough areas on my kids' wooden play set. It got the job done. I can see larger sanding jobs needing a bigger sander.

This is a good product if you have a bolt on system and need a light duty cordless sander. it is heavier than a typical sander due to the battery system, but it works great if you need it for small projects.

Sandra Bullock has never turned a "Blind Side" toward humanitarian crises.
A rep for the Oscar-winning actress told Scoop that she donated $1 million to the Red Cross for Japan disaster relief.
It's the largest known donation made by a celebrity since the 9.0 magnitude earthquake ravaged Japan last Friday, igniting a devastating tsunami and nuclear crisis.
Bullock has made generous donations to other natural disasters. Last year she donated $1 million to earthquake victims in Haiti, and she donated tens of thousands of dollars to a public school in New Orleans destroyed by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
In 2009, the movie star was honored for her contribution to the Louisiana school by being inducted into their Hall of Fame.
"I just write the checks," Bullock said about being honored, The Huffington Post reported last year, adding she "rides the coattails of people who do amazing things."
Other big stars have encouraged support for Japan. Lady GaGa designed a white and black Japan Prayer Bracelet, in which all proceeds go to tsuname relief efforts.

Jeff Bercovici, Forbes Staff
I cover technology with an emphasis on social and digital media.
When it comes to managing their social media profiles, women, on average, behave more like mature, responsible adults while men act like impulsive adolescents.
That's the takeaway from a new study on from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, a project of the Pew Research Center. Pew's researchers polled 2,277 adults for the report, titled "Privacy management on social media sites." They found that social network users in general are more active when it comes to editing their connections, managing their reputations and making use of privacy controls than they were just a few years ago.
But when they broke down the data by gender, an interesting pattern emerged. Women are behaving more cautiously than men, and men are feeling the negative consequences.
The difference begins with privacy settings. A full two-thirds of female users allow only friends to view their Facebook, LinkedIn or MySpace pages without restrictions, while fewer than half of male users do so. Some 26% of men choose the most public setting for their profiles versus only 14% of women.
Not only are women more likely to restrict their sharing to those within their circles; they're also more apt to kick people out of the circle. Asked whether they have deleted people from their networks, 67% of women said yes, compared with 58% of men.
Share in haste, repent at leisure. Perhaps because they're not as careful about controlling who sees their social media feeds, men are substantially more prone to regret the content they post there. Nearly twice as many men as women (15% vs. 8%) regretted something they had posted. In other words, for every Octavia Nasr — the female CNN correspondent fired for praising a Hezbollah leader on Twitter — there are two Roland Martins — the male CNN commentator suspended for tweets some felt were homophobic.
In this regard, men resemble the youngest users Pew polled, adults age 18-29, among whom 15% of users likewise said they regretted posting a piece of content. Among the oldest users, the rate of regret was only 5%. This even though Pew found no substantial differences in use of privacy settings across the different age groups. And when it comes to active pruning of social networks (ie. "unfriending"), young users are actually more likely to do so than older users.
This is really stupid.
Apparently, women get more skilled using SM because they have some ingrained desire to constantly gossip about useless garbage. Get a life!
Men have better things to do than develop SM skills, or figure out what color socks Ashton Kutcher was wearing while walking his dog, or what cousin Betty said to her hairdresser about her husband's under the sheet skills…
SM users = total looosers!
Charles, it sounds like you need to get yourself some smarter women friends. Or some better stereotypes to believe in.
Aren't you sort of a SM user, commenting on sites like this?
Was your girl breathing down your shoulder when you wrote this.
"They found that social network users in general are more active in general"
Since when is caution linked to intelligence?
Not necessarily. Cautious social strategies like those mentioned here may actually be LESS intelligent–at least for males.
One of the current findings in evolutionary psychology is that men, in general, are more risk taking that women in social situations; women, by contrast, are more risk averse. The historical basis for this is that men have historically found greater reproductive success from taking social risks. Successful male risk-takers are heavily rewarded by females (and other men) for their risks–even as other males may regret their own (failed) efforts after the fact.
To simply say that suffering fewer regrets is smarter/feels better than suffering lots of regrets is nearly tautological. It's an evaluation made ex post or after the failed outcome of the risky behavior has already been established. What we also need be looking at here are the greater numbers of men (vs. women) who *gained* something by being less cautious in their social media feeds. Unfortunately, that's a lot harder to measure (than is simply self-reported regret) and the original article failed to report upon it.
…Hence, we're left with the socially risky, but regrettably failed, headline here.
Since humans evolved, Zeroes. It's called emotional intelligence, "the ability to identify, assess, and control the emotions of oneself, of others, and of groups." This includes impulsive posting/over-sharing on social networks.
mnllogit mnl, your argument that risk taking for men leads to greater reproductive success only makes sense if they're looking to get laid via their social networks.
For men who desire slightly more evolved social interaction with both genders, the cautious social strategies in this article actually do make sense. Hasty, risky behavior on social networks generally leads to alienating others – the exact opposite of why most people use social networks.
I can agree with these findings. I have posted, and continue to post ridiculous status updates, not caring who sees them. I think it's because I'm not friends with the women I find most attractive. Sorry friends, you're gonna have to read all about my bitterness, one update at a time.
Most of this post can be summarized as: women worry about stalkers much more than men do. That's why you keep your Facebook private and often why you kick people out of your Facebook.

MOORE — A free clinic that teaches emergency road safety responses for new teenage drivers will be hosted in Oklahoma City at Remington Park on Saturday and Sunday.
Knowing in advance how a vehicle will react in an emergency situation can make all the difference between a serious crash and a near miss that saves many lives.
For most new drivers, this essential feel for a car's power and control isn't learned in a basic driver's education class or by tips from Mom and Dad on the open road.
The Bridgestone Teens Drive Smart Driving Experience will give new drivers a chance to learn and experience such vital driving controls in a safe, closed-course environment.
The free, half-day workshop is designed as a hands-on training session to teach young people the skills needed to better handle accident avoidance situations, make good choices and eliminate distracted driving behaviors.
Each session combines classroom instruction with putting students behind the wheel for several hands-on driving exercises — including a skid pad — to reinforce smart decision-making on the open road.
The clinic demonstrates vehicle dynamics and the best ways to respond in less-than-ideal driving.
The event will take place in the facility's C-3/D-3 parking lot. Enter from north Eastern Avenue/Martin Luther King. Participants can choose Saturday or Sunday with half-day sessions beginning at 8:30 a.m. and 1 p.m. daily.
Students ages 15 to 21 with valid permit or driver's license should make reservations online at TeensDriveSmartTour.com.
Parents are invited to watch and hear what their children are being taught.

For those wondering whatever will become of Disney's Pop Century: The Legendary Years — the proposed second phase of the popular value resort – wonder no more. The Orlando Sentinel is reporting that the site is now the future home of a brand new resort, Disney's Art of Animation.
Construction on the second half of the Pop Century resort halted after 9/11 as the travel industry took a huge hit and appeared to keep the resort in limbo since. Some rumors of the structures' integrity being violated by weather (as well as YouTube videos showing the buildings in disarray) had the buildings eventually being torn-down and re-built should the development go forward while others said construction was simply on hold. One speculation that proved to be true is that the resort will be composed mostly of family suites, following up their roll-out at All Star Music.

More on Free DobbyNews
November 26, 2002, 11:13 AM
Sweeping the nation, I tell ya - theaters are getting involved - donate clothes and free house elves around the world! A source sent us this bit about the movement:
It seems the blockbuster hit film Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets has inspired a grassroots movement! Fans of the film have found the character of Dobby, the beleaguered house-elf, so endearing that they have taken up a "cause" on his behalf. In the movie, Dobby can only be freed from a lifetime of indentured servitude if his malevolent master, Lucius Malfoy, gives him an article of clothing. Amid chants of "Free Dobby," Dobby fans around the world have begun donning homemade "Free Dobby" t-shirts and brandishing signs calling for Dobby's release. Some are even organizing rallies to spread their message to those unaware of Dobby's plight. In addition, numerous movie theaters are supporting the cause by offering patrons "Free Dobby" t-shirts in exchange for socks and other new (or nearly-new) articles of clothing, which will be donated to homeless shelters in Dobby's name. Not only has Dobby proven to be a cinematic hero by helping young wizard Harry Potter thwart evil, but his unselfish efforts have inspired fans to help those in need in the real world. Free Dobby indeed!Expect more soon - I think I've got something official lying around somewhere... Spread the word, in the meantime!

What vehicle(s) did you trade (or sell) for your hybrid or diesel?
railroadjames Posts: 560This is where it gets a bit complicated. The regenerative factor you speak of would only apply to a "running" vehicle. I'm always surprised when auto manufacturers neglect the RV world that is thirsty for a tow'd car that fits their needs. Suzuki has been very in tuned w/ these buyers. Honda likewise. I've even investigated the under-carrage of my 04' Prius looking at the possibilities of a hitch for light towing (like a motorcycle or a jet-ski). That's not looking too good but not out of the question.
Railroadjames(hybrids CAN-DO)
jprice Posts: 58are the rear wheels used for regenerative braking/charging?
Only the front wheels are connected to the power train - the rear wheels are only along for the ride (although they do take part in mechanical braking).
On this Forum's topic - my Prius replaced a '90 Corolla GTS with 140,000 miles on it. It had been my wife's car, and I had driven it since she passed in 1999. It was getting 28 MPG (when new, it got 32+ MPG). She had *WON* the car in one of those mall raffles (where you slide an entry form into the window of a demo car on display), and it was her pride and joy; indeed it was a very nice car. But little things were beginning to go wrong - the cable from the little lever under the driver''s seat to the deck latch was broken, for example (a repair with an expense out of proportion to its worth) - and it was developing a lot of rattles. Besides, the headroom was almost nil for me. I donated it to the Boy Scouts. Couldn't be happier with my Prius, which I picked up the day after Thanksgiving in 2004 ater a seven month wait (the GTS was running acceptably, so I wasn't in a desperate rush).

flj168 Posts: 12At the time I purchased my used 2003 Prius, there were no used 2004s available, the new ones had a 4+ month wait. The 2003 Prius was certified and came with five additional years extended warranty along with four remaining free Toyota service. Starting model 2004 on, Toyota dropped the first five free services. I figure this is worth at least $800+?

The Daily Star
---- — I am writing to respond to Marci Brunswick's recent letter in which she criticizes The Daily Star for publishing Emily F. Popek's column titled, "Finding my own reason for the season."
Popek described how she and her family would take part in many of the traditions associated with the Christmas season even though she is not a Christian. In what I felt to be a lighthearted manner, she recalled her family's past celebrations, which included a tree, lights, presents, stockings and a big meal.
The issue for her is that by definition Christmas represents an important Christian religious event, but she is not religious. She informed readers that she would, just as her secular parents did, enjoy the family-oriented and pleasurable activities of the season but exclude the religious meaning. I know other people who are not Christians who do the same thing.
I cannot find anything in Popek's column that is either disrespectful or inconsiderate to readers of The Daily Star. It is not out of order to publish an account of how someone decides to celebrate an event (or not), especially if that description is tasteful, not vulgar and does not attempt to influence others to perform any kind of unlawful act.
Popek stated that she is an atheist. I believe that Brunswick is inferring that, by publishing the column, the writer and therefore The Daily Star are somehow anti-Christian. I cannot see how this is true. In America a person can be religious or not and is free to express his views. I believe The Daily Star published the column because it was good writing and a seasonal topic.
