NA man who killed self after beating Cuban wife had been 'depressed'
The Cuban doctor, Iliana Urrutia-Yearwood, 43, whose Guyanese husband beat her in her head with a hammer on February 19 and subsequently committed suicide, said he was depressed and needed help.
Victor Yearwood, 37, a pharmacy assistant at the New Amsterdam Hospital, was behaving a bit abnormally and had been pacing the house just before a misunderstanding ensued.
Dr Iliana said he had been frustrated over a lot of issues, including being harassed by the mother of his children for money
and she "wanted to take him to see the psychiatrist."
In an exclusive interview with Stabroek News, Iliana said it all started while they were preparing to go to work and he demanded to know if she had "something to discuss with him." She responded that she didn't.
She learnt later that a colleague had told him that she (the doctor) had made some decisions and was keeping them from him. She felt that "too much gossip" could have triggered his rage.
Recounting the events that led to the beating that morning, she said her coffee tasted funny and she asked him what he had put in it.
It was suspected that he had laced her coffee with poison. He became angry and asked why he would do that and hit her in her face.
Just then he ran into the room and brought out the hammer and inflicted the blows to her head. But when he saw the blood he regretted his actions and drove "really fast to the hospital and he put me on a stretcher."
She then told him, "Victor, I'm dying and he kissed me and said 'Baby, you won't die'." Iliana remembered that the week before they were so happy together. They were also planning to go to Cuba in August.
She admitted that they were having problems at times like any normal couple, stemming mostly because of their "different cultures" and over money. She said he wanted her to discuss her salary with him and she did not like that.
She was disappointed with reports carried in another newspaper that she was transferred to the Georgetown Public Hospital. The reports, she said caused persons to believe that her condition had gotten worse.
She said too that the newspaper mentioned that neighbours had to intervene and tell him to take her to the hospital but that never happened.
In fact, she said she told him to "take me to the hospital… He couldn't manage and he called someone to help him."
In tears, she said "I don't know why he drank the poison," lamenting that she loved him and misses him a lot.
"He was my husband and best friend. Sometimes he would be so over-protective as though I'm a child."
She feels that because she was from another country, "he would call all the time when I am out to make sure I'm ok."
She had even encouraged him to complete his pharmacy programme at the University of Guyana (UG). He was supposed to start a Biology course at the Institute of Distance and Continuing Education before applying to UG.
Meanwhile, when he took her to the hospital he told the medical personnel that "her pressure was high and she fell in the bathroom and hit her head."
She also kept the truth from the doctors and had not given any statement to the police when they approached her.
But doctors became suspicious about the abuse and called the police. By then he had already hurried out of the hospital.
The officers searched his Savannah Park, New Amsterdam house but he was not there. They received a report about one hour later that a "white car with blood" was seen in the area. When they got to the scene the officers searched the canefield but could not find him.
They were about to abandon the search when the man started to scream out in pain and they took him to the hospital.
His sister, Nicola Yearwood told Stabroek News that her brother related to her that the police dragged him out of the canefield and badly bruised his back, causing him more pain.

Three Island Lake Trail is a 7.1 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Clark, Colorado that features a lake and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking and is best used from June until September.
Directions from Steamboat Springs: ACCESS #1: Take HWY 40 west of town and turn right onto County Road 129, Elk River Road. Travel north about 18 miles to the Seedhouse Road (Forest Road 400;also County Road 64) and turn right. Go past Seedhouse Campground then turn right onto Forest Road 443. The trailhead is about 3 miles down this road.
All the hikes off seedhouse road are worth it!
Fantastic fishing. At one point you would have thought it was raining with all the rising. Was comical

I went in August and it wasn't a super busy trail at the time, but the weather was a bit overcast and crappy. The wildflowers were amazing, I have posted some pictures that I came across.
Beautiful hike! Start up the trail and sign in. Climb the first couple hills and there is a Tee. Take the trail marked 1164 to Three Island Lake. The other direction is a spur trail (1164.1). This trail passes threw sections of lush dense foliage, wildflowers, small creek crossings, some rocky climbs, and offers spectacular views.
Once you begin to walk next to Three Island Creek your close. At the top the trail opes up to a massive clearing butted up the the cliff face of the peak. On the other side is the beginning of the creek. Slow moving cool water and plenty of fish to watch just below the surface of the shallow cleek.
Just a few more steps and an explosion of wild flowers greats you as the beauty of the blue lake contrasted with bright green grass shores is revieled.
My GPS tracked 6.95 miles to the lake.
should take 4 hours to complete!
Happy hiking!
Loved this hike. Did it once in May then twice in July. Fairly easy, steep. If the waters warm enough, I'd consider swimming in it to cool off! Very scenic!

That description certainly applies to Shawnee (KS) Mill Valley offensive lineman Coleman McCann, who is the proud owner of a 3.95 grade point average and a score of 28 on the ACT.
A 6-foot-3, 275-pound offensive lineman, McCann currently holds offers from Northern Colorado and South Dakota, as well as heavy interest from the likes of Pennsylvania and the United States Naval Academy.
"I'm pretty high on academics, that's for sure," he said. "I'm just trying to find the right school."
Recently, McCann made the trip out to Annapolis, Md. for camp with the Midshipmen, which he felt went exceedingly well. He had the chance to speak with many of the coaches, but especially offensive line coach Chris Culton.
The Navy staff believes McCann could gain admittance to the academy on his own merits, and not need the assistance of a scholarship to do so - making him even more attractive. But they want him for more than just his brains, of course.
"(Culton) likes my technique and everything, my intensity," McCann said. "He's seen my film and he like what he sees."
"It's an option, that's for sure," he added, of Navy.
Currently, McCann and the rest of the Jaguars are in the middle of their team camp, continuing preparations for the 2012 season.

Use Science to Bake the Best Apple Pie
Joyce Park stashed this in Food
Stashed in: Science!, Good Eats!, Awesome, Yum, Recipes!, Genomics, Pies!, Desserts, Recipes
I had always used Braeburns, but Serious Eats says that properly treated GOLDEN DELICIOUS -- an apple I had always assumed was a genetic mistake -- actually make the best pies.
It takes golden delicious to make the pie super delicious?! Okay, I'm sold.
Wikipedia factoid:
In 2010, an Italian-led consortium announced they had decoded the complete genome of the Golden delicious apple.[7] It had the highest number of genes (57,000) of any plant genome studied to date.
While checking (because tomatoes!) I found a - if not the - most fascinating link:
There is a staggering diversity of genome sizes. The smallest genome (3) so far reported (0.0023 pg of DNA) is found in a parasite (Encephalitozoon intestinalis) of humans and other mammals. The human genome, at 3.0 pg, is 1300 times larger than this, but this pales into insignificance compared to those found in some animals and plants.
Among animals, some amphibians have enormous genomes, but the largest recorded so far is that of the marbled lung fish (Protopterus aethiopicus) with 132.83 pg(3) . Among plants, the record holder for 34 years was a species of fritillary(4) (Fritillaria assyriaca) until earlier this year when a Dutch group knocked the fritillary off the top spot when they found that a natural hybrid of trillium (Trillium × hagae), related to herb paris had a genome just 4% larger than the fritillary (132.50 pg).
This was widely thought to be approaching the maximum size that a genome could reach, until this summer when a team of Kew scientists discovered that the genome of another close relative of herb paris, Paris japonica from Japan, is a staggering 15% bigger than the genome of either the trillium or the fish at a whopping 152.23 pg
Ilia Leitch, Research Scientist in the Jodrell Laboratory, says "We were astounded when we discovered that this small stunning plant had such a large genome -- it's so large that when stretched out it would be taller than Big Ben.
"Some people may wonder what the consequences are of such a large genome and whether it really matters if one organism has more DNA than another. The answer to this is a resounding "yes, it does," and the consequences operate at all levels from the cell up to the whole organism and beyond. In plants, research has demonstrated that those with large genomes are at greater risk of extinction, are less adapted to living in polluted soils and are less able to tolerate extreme environmental conditions -- all highly relevant in today's changing world."

I see no need for notices to be indexed in search so removing bots view is a simple way to do it.
Would you be able to elaborate?
Unfortunately it isn't really possible to hide content from bots, nor is it recommended from an SEO perspective to show different content to bots vs humans as this practice is usually penalised.
Well I have installed showcase addon as it doesn't have a meta description tag search engines are relying on onpage content for description.
The notices on my site are above the actual page content and enabled for all the pages, so search engines are indexing that first.Every item that I create has the same notice content as its description.

US STOCKS-Dow, S&P 500 end at record highs after data
* Dow, S&P 500 wrap up four straight months of gains
* Consumer spending dips; inflation below Fed's target, but rising
* Chicago PMI handily beats forecast
* Big Lots shares jump after results
* Dow up 0.1 pct; S&P 500 up 0.2 pct; Nasdaq off 0.1 pct (Updates to close)
By Chuck Mikolajczak
NEW YORK, May 30 (Reuters) - The Dow and the S&P 500 edged up to end at record highs on Friday, wrapping up four straight months of gains, after mixed economic data gave investors little reason to rush into stocks.
After the benchmark S&P 500's latest record closing high - its fourth in the last five sessions - gains may be harder to come by until the market's direction becomes more clear. Payrolls data and a European Central Bank meeting will be the major catalysts next week.
U.S. consumer spending fell for the first time in a year in April, but the decline probably will not change expectations for a rebound in growth this quarter. An inflation gauge rose at its quickest pace since November 2012 while business activity in the U.S. Midwest rose in May at its strongest pace since October 2013. Continuación...

After six months of close scrutiny from the Franchise Board regulator, Lloyd's ordered Goshawk to stop taking new business through the market, where it trades as Syndicate 102.
While other Lloyd's firms have been booming thanks to rising premiums, Goshawk has made huge losses on life insurance policies for elderly Americans.
Furthermore, it was hit badly by the collapse of The Accident Group and had exposure to claims from the Columbia space shuttle tragedy.
It will surrender £65m to pay for new and existing claims but will cease underwriting.
The judgment will be seen as a huge criticism of Goshawk's management, which will now focus on its profitable reinsurance operation in Bermuda.
It will also be taken as a sign to others trading in the Lloyd's market of chief executive Nick Prettejohn's determination to take a more muscular and investigative regulatory role.
Goshawk had tried to persuade Lloyd's to allow it to sell Syndicate 102 to a rival, which would have allowed it to continue trading. But, in a crunch meeting chaired by Lloyd's chairman Lord Levene yesterday, the Franchise Board regulatory committee banned the deal and ordered the syndicate into run-off. A third party will manage its claims. Goshawk chief executive Chris Fagan said he would not resign over the issue, claiming the syndicate's woes stemmed from poor underwriting between 1999 and 2001.
'These are problems of the past,' he stressed, adding it had been under his regime that the company had developed its thriving reinsurance business.
He said he had spent much of his time since taking over in the top job 18 months ago trying to resolve the syndicate's problems, which cost former chairman David Hooker his job.
Last month, Goshawk had to increase its Lloyd's reserves by £48m following a review by independent actuaries.
Shares in the group edged up 1p to
34 1/2p as investors welcomed an end to their disastrous exposure to Goshawk's Lloyd's underwriting. But they remain way below the 136 1/2p peak reached in January.
Meanwhile, other Lloyd's firms are expected to make bumper profits for 2002 and 2003, as they benefit from the increase in insurance premiums partly brought about by the 9.11 terrorist atrocities.
Today, the Association of Lloyd's Members predicted the two years would produce a total profit of £5bn for the market.

Most of the area around Ravenscourt Park in west London falls into a leafy conservation area and has the advantage of being close to Hammersmith's lively town centre and Chiswick's wide-open spaces.
The neighbourhood also has a laid-back, suburban feel, with handsome Victorian villas and terraces plus a pretty garden square that opens onto the park — a family-friendly space with gardens and a lake, a pretty coach house, now popular tea rooms, tennis courts and rather splendid gates.
Parkside Place is a new apartment scheme moments from the park. Two-bedroom flats cost from £899,950. Linden Homes, the developer, is offering to pay stamp duty on reservations made before the end of the month.
Brook Green also borders Hammersmith and is another pretty conservation area. Bentley Place is a new-build scheme of apartments in the guise of classic Victorian terraces.
There is a communal roof terrace too. Prices from £599,995, with Help to Buy available. Call Bellway Homes on 0333 202 5173.

Download and try SSL/TLS Library for C++
Implement the complete functionality of the SSL/TLS protocol in C++ applications.
SSLBlackbox includes SSL classes for building SSL/TLS servers and client applications. With SSL/TLS libraries, you can easily add support for server authentication, implement secure HTTP connections (HTTPS), secure email and news communications.
The SSL/TLS library contains C++ classes supporting the entire family of SLL/TLS protocols including TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0, SSL 3 and SSL 2. In addition, the SSL/TLS library includes an implementation of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI), allowing to generate, revoke and manage secure certificates.
Download SSL/TLS Library for C++The SSLBlackbox package is an integral part of SecureBlackbox. Download SecureBlackbox (C++ edition) to build client and server applications implementing the SSL/TLS protocol.
About SSL/TLSThe SSL/TLS family of protocols implement a transparent security layer for higher-level protocols working on top of TCP. By adding support for the SSL protocol to your applications, you will be able to secure Internet communications with a range of flexible authentication and encryption schemes. SSL/TLS classes included with SSLBlackbox provide transport security and guarantee server authenticity with a corresponding certificate.
By using the SSL/TLS library, you can quickly secure communications occurring over a range of communication protocols. The use of SSL/TLS security during Internet communications lets applications hide details of the protocol from network sniffers, packet filters and other traffic interception tools. Moreover, the use of the SSL protocol can help you ensure that your applications are actually talking to the right server, whose authenticity is guaranteed by a secure digital certificate. SSL/TLS classes allow your applications effectively resist interception.
Why Choose SSLBlackbox over Competing SSL Libraries for C++
- Secure communications with SSL/TLS classes in minutes;
- Build client, server and distributed applications;
- SSL classes support all of the latest versions and features of SSL/TLS protocols such as AES and Camellia Cipher Suites, TLS compression, TLS extensions and more;
- Complete control over SSL-secured connection including the ability to resume sessions, select/validate client and server certificates, etc.
- Secure application layer protocols with built-in client-side HTTP/HTTPS and FTP/FTPS classes;
- Implicit and explicit mode support in FTP and SMTP client components;
- Royalty-free licensing;
SSL/TLS Library Major Features
- Support for the entire range of SSL/TLS protocols including TLS 1.2, TLS 1.1, TLS 1.0, SSL 3, and SSL 2 ;
- client and server DTLS (Datagram TLS) protocol support ;
- 100% compatibility with all major SSL/TLS libraries including most recent additions (AES and Camellia cipher suites) ;
- Built-in compression reduces bandwidth requirements and speeds up transfers ;
- Implements Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) functions ;
- Cryptocards and USB Crypto Tokens supported ;
- unlike free open source code, SecureBlackbox comes with free individual technical support
Download SecureBlackbox (C++ edition), an all-in-one security toolbox including an SSL/TLS classes for your C++ applications.Compression gives an additional level of security and lets you increase transfer speed significantly and reduce the network load and storage space requirements.
Synchronous operation mode gives you a linear programming approach without complicated callback functions. This approach saves your development time and reduces the number of errors.
Asynchronous operation mode, on the other hand, gives you flexibility and complete control over your application communications.Synchronous operation mode gives you a linear programming approach without complicated callback functions. This approach saves your development time and reduces the number of errors. Simple SecureBlackbox components can be used for reliable data transfer no matter what type of proxy or firewall is used to protect the network.
HTTPS proxy access includes support for Basic, Digest and Windows Integrated (NTLM) authentication mechanisms. You can process huge files and not be bound by restrictions of 32-bit environments. This feature works on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems without any limitations. To limit and control network load and bandwidth consumption you can setup maximum upload and download speed for the data transfer components. Transport (SSL, FTP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, WebDAV, LDAP, SSH, SFTP) components can be used in IPv6 networks without any problems, address conversions or packet wrapping. Transport (SSL, FTP, HTTP, SMTP, POP3, IMAP, WebDAV, LDAP, SSH, SFTP) components understand and make use of non-latin domain names (so-called International Domain Names, IDN). In FIPS operation mode SecureBlackbox uses only certified CryptoAPI modules of Windows to perform any cryptographic operations.
FIPS mode is available only on Windows platform. Virtual File System adapters let SecureBlackbox components, which operate with files, work with various backend file storages and not just with "physical" disk.
For example, in WebDAV, SFTP, HTTP(S) and FTP(S) servers you can provide a personal storage space for each connected user.
Out of the box file system adapter and SolFS virtual file system adapter are included and you can easily create your own adapter. With DNSSEC support enabled you protect your socket connection from being fooled by possible DNS cache poisoning and other malicious DNS activities.
DNSSEC requires that the DNS record for the destination server contains a certified signature. Distributed Crypto modules let web site visitors use certificates accessible only on the client system to sign the data, stored on the server (no need to download this data).
This is done with help of client-side modules (Java applet, ActiveX control, Flash applet), embedded into the web page. Cryptographic hardware gains more and more popularity every day. If your software deals with X.509 certificates or PKI in general (RSA keys etc.), it is time to support cryptocards and USB tokens.
To use cryptographic hardware you need a license for PKIBlackbox. SecureBlackbox was written from the ground up by EldoS developers. It doesn't use third-party code to implement its cryptographic functions. This means that you are not bound by CryptoAPI or OpenSSL version when you need to use certain algorithm.
At the same time it's possible to plug third-party security libraries and hardware modules by utilizing the pluggable architecture of SecureBlackbox. No royalties means the licensing procedure which is clear and easy to understand and manage. Pay for the license once and use it for development and deployment with no other payments. We provide free technical support via web-based Forum and HelpDesk. Support is available for everyone, and the requests from clients who purchased a license are given priority. Also you can use our extensive knowledgebase. With SSLBlackbox you get not just SSL support, but also feature-rich components for PKI support. This includes management of X.509 certificates, certificate requests and CRLs, PKI-based data encryption and signing operations, digital timestamping and more. With the wide choice of encryption, authentication and key exchange algorithms supported by SSLBlackbox, you will be able to meet the security requirements and get compatibility with the wide choice of differently configured servers and clients. With SSLBlackbox you can secure not just common TCP communications, but also UDP-based data transfer or other message-based transfer protocols. This lets you secure the whole new class of communications, such as audio and video delivery over internet, various message-based distributed protocols etc. The widest possible protocol support lets you get all that you can from SSL / TLS and that your software is compatible with the widest choice of client and server software. SSL session resumption speeds up subsequent session initiation and reduces server and network load. Resumption is supported by many SSL / TLS clients and servers. Validation of the other party's certificate is usually much more than just verifying the cryptographic signature. Correct validation includes verification of validity of the certificate and all of its issuer certficates, sometimes using CRLs (certificate revocation lists) and requests to the issuer servers using OCSP protocol. With SSLBlackbox you can build your own verification procedures easily. Usually only the server is authenticated during SSL / TLS handshake. But the situations when the client needs to authenticate itself using X.509 certificate become more and more often. Unfortunately most SSL/TLS and HTTPS or FTPS components don't provide support for client-side authentication.
SSLBlackbox provides full support for client-side certificate authentication in its server-side and client-side components.Cryptographic hardware gains more and more popularity every day. If your software deals with X.509 certificates or PKI in general (RSA keys etc.), it is time to support cryptocards and USB tokens. Most SSL/TLS and HTTPS or FTPS components can't use the certificate with a private key stored on a cryptocard or USB token.
SSLBlackbox is fully capable to use the cryptographic hardware (which doesn't export the private key) for SSL authentication of both clients and servers.To use cryptographic hardware you need a license for PKIBlackbox. Originally SSL protocol used X.509 certificate for authenticating servers and clients. This type of authentication remains the most popular now. However various security needs and hardware limitations caused introduction of the alternative authentication methods. They are pre-shared key authentication (it can be named "password-based") and OpenPGP-based authentication (using OpenPGP keys instead of X.509 certificates).
Each of the alternative authentication methods has its own strengths and usage scenarios. SSLBlackbox provides full support for these new authentication methods.TLS extensions are used to extend functionality of the TLS communication, transfer additional information and provide better service to the parties. SSL / TLS protocol offers the number of very useful features, which don't actually require TCP transport. The protocol can be used with any low-level transport protocols, and SecureBlackbox makes this possible. SSLBlackbox supports the keys of any length, used in modern computing. If you need more strength, you can generate and use 4096-bit keys without problems. SSLBlackbox supports algorithms based on Elliptic Curve Cryptography. These algorithms provide higher security level, than more traditional Diffie-Helman and DSA algorithms. Application-level protocols, such as HTTP, FTP and SMTP, can work in two modes - explicit and implicit. In implicit mode first SSL connection is established, then protocol connection is carried over the protected channel. In explicit mode the TLS connection parameters are negotiated using the command on the protocol level.
SSLBlackbox supports implicit and explicit modes in FTP and SMTP client components. This lets you connect to greater number of servers which use SSL/TLS.

Despite Friday's attacks that killed 129 people, many in Europe are hesitant to adopt a 'whatever it takes' mentality that could step on cherished freedoms.
Coordinated attacks at six sites killed at least 129 people Friday night, putting Paris under siege. Parisians quickly moved to help each other, opening their homes and businesses as shelter.
Tourists have been defacing the barricade-turned-attraction with graffiti and stealing chunks of the wall. But instances of visitors putting historical sites at risk is not new.
While the makeshift refugee camp originally was merely a stopover for those trying to reach Britain, it is now a default home for refugees unable to move forward or backward.
In the first joint French-German address to the European Parliament since 1989, the two leaders argued that to shy from the EU project now would mean 'the end of Europe, our demise.'
Europe is trying to fast-track asylum processing for Syrians. But that could leave other equally persecuted refugees tarred as 'bad' or 'lesser.'
Europe's far-right groups and governments warn that immigrants will take jobs and social services from native Europeans. But economists say that's inaccurate.
Though refugees are genuinely welcomed by many in Europe, there is a strong undercurrent against open-door policies, even in Germany.
President Hollande said France would admit 24,000 refugees over the next two years. Several factors appear to play into a changing public attitude.
The photo depicting Alan Kurdi, a 3-year-old Syrian refugee, lying dead in the Turkish surf has spurred a European urgency that reports of hundreds of other deaths did not.
Hungary is one of several countries trying to use physical blockades to prevent migrants crossing into the EU.
Europe is struggling with the greatest mass-movement of people across its borders since World War II. And the crisis has exposed the limitations and gaps in its immigration system.
While identity checks, body scans, and other top-tier security might prevent events like Friday's failed attack, they would run afoul of fundamental European ideals.
Heavily armed Ayoub El-Khazzani was tackled by vacationing US servicemen on a Amsterdam-to-Paris train last Friday. His lawyer claims that he was trying to rob passengers on the train.
While the three Americans, two military and one civilian, who tackled a suspected terrorist on a European train are being heralded for heroism, Europe's view of the US military is already more positive than many think.
French farmers are blocking the importation of German and Spanish food in protest at low prices – adding a new challenge to EU ideals that are already under fire across the bloc.
Many Britons are railing against France for not doing enough to stop migrants trying to reach the UK from Calais. But the prime minister is taking a decidedly non-confrontational tack with the French.
France, known for being deliberate in air safety investigations, is taking the lead on identifying suspected Flight MH370 debris that washed up on Reunion Island, French territory.
In September, Parisians will get to vote directly on how to spend 75 million euros of the city budget, in a bid to tap citizens' knowledge of what their city needs.
Hundreds of thousands of immigrants, fleeing violence and poverty in Africa and the Middle East, are trying to find a better life in Europe – putting major strains on the EU and its member states.
The spike in migrants attempting to cross the Channel tunnel into Britain isn't just rattling Paris and London. It's also brought the business of people smuggling, and crime more generally, into the local community.
After years of supporting Iran in its efforts to reach a deal on its nuclear program, Russia comes away as a big winner in last week's accord. But that isn't likely to continue if and when Iran rejoins the global economy.
In a ramshackle camp in northern France, migrants see problems with the formula proposed to 'share the burden' that a record influx of refugees is putting on Europe, and Italy and Greece in particular.
Greece and its creditors have agreed on a third bailout in exchange for a raft of reforms to be passed this week in Athens. But the concord has worn down the trust on both sides.
Greek bankruptcy and ejection from the euro have never seemed closer, at least from the perspective of Greece's creditors. But few Greeks share their pessimism.

No. 11 Kentucky Opens SEC Play at No. 9 Florida and No. 31 South Carolina
March 5, 2009
LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky men's tennis team continues its grueling road schedule with two road matches against SEC ranked foes. This weekend, the No. 11 Wildcats open conference play at No. 9 Florida on Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET and then visit No. 31 South Carolina on Sunday at noon to conclude a string of four consecutive contests versus top-35 opponents away from home.
UK (8-2) ranks at No. 11 in the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association (ITA) rankings after the Cats jumped 10 spots in the poll for the second consecutive week. Kentucky's ranking is the best since May 2, 2005 when UK was also No. 11 nationally. The Wildcats' 8-2 ledger is its best 10-match start since 2002. Kentucky is 4-2 overall against ranked foes this season after recent road victories at No. 4 Tennessee and No. 25 Notre Dame.
Senior Bruno Agostinelli is the nation's second-ranked singles player entering the weekend. His ranking is the highest for any Wildcat since Jesse Witten was ranked first nationally in 2003. Over the past two weeks, the Niagara Falls, Canada, native has been named the Southeastern Conference Player of the Week. He carries a 6-1 singles record this season with three wins over top-30 opponents - all away from home.
In doubles, Agostinelli is also ranked with sophomore Brad Cox at 20th in the nation. Last week the pair knocked off the No. 13 team of Brett Helgeson and Tyler Davis of Notre Dame to clinch the doubles point against the Irish. The tandem is 3-2 at No. 1 doubles this season.
Freshman Eric Quigley, of Pewee Valley, Ky., is also ranked in singles for the Cats at No. 99 in the country. Quigley carries a 7-2 singles record this season and is coming off a win over No. 122 Daniel Stahl of Notre Dame on the road.
Friday's match is the conference opener for both Florida and Kentucky. Last year, the UK fell to UF in Lexington, 6-1. On Tuesday, the No. 9 Gators (9-3) defeated in-state rival No. 15 Florida State 5-2 on the road. Last month, Florida advanced to the round of 16 at the National Indoors before falling to newly-crowned No. 1 Stanford, 4-3, in Chicago. The SEC foes share one common opponent in No. 9 Ole Miss. The Cats fell to the Rebels 4-3 on the road in January while the Gators lost 4-1 in a neutral site match in Chicago last month.
Three UF players are ranked in the latest ITA men's singles poll, including No. 18 Carlos Cueto, No. 34 Alex Lacroix and No. 88 Tyler Hochwalt. Additionally, four Gator doubles combinations are ranked led by Antoine Benneteau and Joey Burkhardt at No. 18.
South Carolina (10-1) welcomes the Wildcats on Sunday after hosting No. 37 Vanderbilt Friday. UK has won two in a row over the Gamecocks after a 5-2 victory in Lexington last year. USC has only played one opponent in the top-35 this year, a 5-0 loss at Georgia in January. The teams share one common opponent in Indiana. Last month the Cats rolled to a 6-1 win at home over the Hoosiers while the Gamecocks knocked off IU 4-3 at a neutral site match in Georgia.
Two USC players are ranked in the latest ITA men's singles poll, including No. 64 Diego Cubas and No. 110 Ivan Cressoni. In doubles, Cubas and Ivan Machado are also ranked 64th in the country.

Discussion in 'DEALS & OFFERS' started by born_wild, Jul 4, 2012.
It was a pleasure to read it ...especially the end ...
thank you ...
I put the answer in red ...:
Dear hunters ...
for those interested I can provide this year for the Autumn 2013 season , just for experiment , offers with thophy prices included .
Hunters that are interested can give me an email and I will discuss with them the conditions .
I want to see the feedback of the africahunting forum members .
Please for any questions do not hesitate to contact me .
Hunters from all over the world who read this discussion might get the impression hunting in europe is expensive and prices are random. That is not my experience. Since i don't have my own land to hunt on, i consider the world my hunting grounds ( that is, i make a lot of trips). Within a few months, i'll visit SA for the tenth time (AH forum member), but i can also appreciate a hunt in germany or poland. Nothing beats waiting for wild boar in the middle of the night at minus 17 degrees celcius. September we go to hungary for red deer hunt. Rumania is still very high on my wish list cause it is famous for its trophees. So don't be scared to book a trip to Europe and post your experiences on this forum.

Chipotle Boorito Fundraiser
Chipotle is selling burritos for 3$ to anyone that comes in wearing a costume after 5pm on Halloween. Their goal is to reach sales of 1 million doll
Chipotle Boorito Fundraiser
Question 3
How much money in burrito sales is Chipotle potentially giving up by running this promotion?
Question 2
How many 3$ burritos must be sold per hour at each location to reach 1 million dollars in sales?
Question:Do you think Chipotle will sell enough 3$ burritos to customers in costumes to reach 1 million dollars?
What we did: 700 x 0.4 = 280 x 1600 = 448 000
448 000 x 3 = 1 344 000$
Our prediction is that we have to subtract about 200 000$ since the sale opens half way through the day and might still have customers dining before the Boorito event.
1 334 000$ - 200 000$ = 1 134 000
Therefor we believe Chipotle will make 1 334 000$ on the Boorito event.
Each location = 280 3$ burritos over 5hrs
280 divided by 5 = 56
Therefor each location needs to sell 56 burritos
an hr.
Does this seem reasonable?
This is reasonable because they're only selling approximately 1 burrito minute which is busy but do able.
Question 4
The money from the Boorito fundraiser going to the
Chipotles cultivate foundation promoting free range animals
without chemicals and healthier vegetables from farms.
448 000 x 8 = 3 584 000
3 584 000 - 1 344 000 = 2 250 000
That means Chipotle is losing 2 250 000$

CGI Error – Complete Set of Headers
This error occurs when a CGI application like Cart32 is unable to provide all of the necessary headers for an HTTP request/response. There are 2 major reasons this happens: speed and misconfiguration. Below are the two explained in more detail.
Speed Related
CGI applications often times will simply execute, then dispose of themselves. However, in an environment where multiple requests are coming in every second you may find this error popping up. The solution, in the case of Cart32, is to make sure caching of ISAPI extensions is turned on. This is done in IIS. You can follow these steps to verify this setting:
- Open IIS
- Right click the site where Cart32 is installed and choose Properties.
- Change to the Home Directory tab.
- Click on the Configuration button (which will open another window).
- On the Mappings tab, mark the checkbox for Cache ISAPI Extensions.
- Click OK on both open windows and then restart IIS. (If you cannot restart IIS for some reason, on WS2003 you can simply stop/start the application pool that the site runs under)
Mis-configured Data Execution Prevention
The other reason this error can occur is due to Data Execution Prevention (introduced in WS2003 and newer) being mis-configured. Please refer to this article for more information on how to properly configure DEP for Cart32.

Investigations continue in fatal incidents involving Oxnard Police
Various investigations and legal actions are in play regarding the shooting of Alfonso Limon Jr:
Ventura County Sheriff's Office: Oxnard police asked sheriff's officials to investigate the high-profile Alfonso Limon Jr. incident. Typically, the Police Department would conduct its own investigation. Sheriff's Sgt. Eric Buschow said the report was submitted to the District Attorney's Office several weeks ago. "At this point, it's up to them to review it," he said.
Ventura County District Attorney's Office: As is standard with significant law enforcement incidents, the DA's office determines whether any officers will face criminal charges.
Chief Assistant District Attorney Janice Maurizi said the office has not yet finished its inquiry into the Limon shooting. The office also hasn't finished its review of the June 2012 death of Robert Ramirez, who was overdosing on methamphetamine and died in Oxnard police custody.
"Our investigations are ongoing and we're continuing to aggressively pursue the truth," she said. "It's important for the community to know that we take these matters very seriously."
Related content: One year later, Oxnard police shooting of innocent man remains cloaked in secrecy
Separately, an FBI spokeswoman on Friday said the bureau's investigation of possible civil rights violations in the Ramirez case did not support the allegations and the case has been closed.
The Ventura County Medical Examiner's Office has not released the autopsy report and death investigation.
Office of Independent Review: At the direction of Oxnard Police Chief Jeri Williams, the department hired an outside agency to review both the Limon and Ramirez incidents. The OIR, a private firm in Los Angeles staffed by lawyers, will write public reports assessing the department's training and response after the DA's investigations are done.
Oxnard Police Department: Eight of the nine officers involved last year's incident have returned to full duty, the department said. The ninth retired.
Lawyers for the Limon family filed a federal lawsuit in March, as did Ramirez's family. Adam Shea, one of the Limon family's attorneys, said depositions are on hold until the DA finishes its review. "Our hands are somewhat tied because we don't have any of the investigative reports," he said. A trial is set for April but could be delayed, he said.
Oct. 15, 2012: Officials confirm 1 of 2 killed in Oxnard police shootout was innocent bystander
Alfonso Limon, 21, and Jose Zepeda, 24, both of Oxnard, were identified Monday as the two who died after police exchanged gunfire with some suspects running from officers Saturday night in the La Colonia area.
Oct. 16, 2012: Oxnard police chief calls shootout that killed bystander a tragedy
Chief Williams was asked at the news conference Tuesday about rumors that ÂLimon asked officers not to shoot him, that his body was dragged from the scene by police, and that more people were actually shot ÂSaturday.
Williams said nobody else was shot, and that officers gave medical assistance to ÂLimon. The other rumors will be investigated, she said.
"It is also important to note that our officers have been impacted by this incident, as well," she said. "We send our heartÂfelt concerns for those officers and their Âfamilies."
Oct. 22, 2012: Oxnard crowd protests officer-involved shootings
Protesters gathered at Del Sol Park at 5 p.m., many carrying signs condemning the shootings. Speakers addressed the crowd, including Elliott Gabriel, a member of Todo Poder al Pueblo Collective, a local group that has rallied this year against what it calls Oxnard police brutality.
Gabriel said Oxnard would not be safe for residents unless they defend themselves from what he said are overzealous police who too often commit brutality on the people they are sworn to protect.
Oct. 24, 2012: Oxnard wrestles with tension over police shooting
Chief Williams, who has led the department since January 2011, said in an email late Wednesday it is her responsibility to be the face of the department in good and bad times.
"This is a difficult time for many ? it is most understandably difficult for the Limon family, as they are experiencing a terrible tragedy," she wrote.
Oct. 29, 2012: Claim filed against Oxnard over fatal police shooting of bystander
The document says Alfonso Limon Jr., 21, was walking home with his brother in the La Colonia neighborhood about 10 p.m. when he was mistaken for someone involved in a shootout after a police traffic stop.
"According to witnesses," Limon, in full view of officers, "put his hands up and yelled multiple times 'don't shoot, don't shoot,' " before police opened fire, the claim against the city says.
"While on the ground and still alive, multiple (officers) approached him and continued to shoot at him and killed him," the claim says.
Nov. 8, 2012: Oxnard police chief wants independent agency to investigate fatal incidents
The Office of Independent Review, an oversight group created by the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, has worked on other high-profile cases where police behavior has been questioned, including the case of Kelly Thomas, a schizophrenic man who died during an altercation with Fullerton police in 2011. Its report is published on the department's website.
A march to mark the anniversary of Alfonso Limon Jr.'s death is scheduled for Sunday afternoon.
The event was organized by the Todo Poder al Pueblo Collective, a community group that has held peaceful marches and vigils but also uses strong anti-police rhetoric.
"One of the purposes of the march is to simply ensure that this killing is not forgotten," said Elliott Gabriel, an organizer with the collective. The Limon family is expected to attend.
Participants will gather at 4 p.m. at Del Sol Park at 1500 Camino Del Sol, at the intersection with Rose Avenue in Oxnard.

The term "surprise" has a different meaning with Eugene, though, because instead of referring to a sleeper prospect it relates to Eugene being a prospect at all for 2011.
Eugene had a good showing at LSU's camp in July working out with his teammate Bakari Holier (cornerback). But the notion had always been that Eugene would have to go the junior college route at best with prep school being the most likely notion and him being a part of the 2012 recruiting class.
Instead, Eugene buckled down in the classroom and made enough progress to where he is on pace to graduate in May and that prompted schools such as LSU, USC and Alabama to take his recruitment more seriously towards the end of his senior season on the gridiron.
Eugene eventually committed to LSU in mid-December and if he is good to go on the academic front then the Tigers nabbed a good one late in the game.
As a senior, Eugene had a big year as he rushed for 2,031 yards and 25 touchdowns from his running back spot and picked off two passes and forced five fumbles at safety. He was particularly impressive on the biggest stage of all as he helped Acadiana claim the Class 5A State Championship with a win over West Monroe.
Eugene, who is in the 5-foot-10, 190-pound range, is projected to play safety for the Tigers but he is one of those athletes that could be put in several roles when he gets to campus and see which one fits best.
Here is a look at the standout athlete in action during his senior campaign at running back and expect him to make a big jump in the final rankings in January.

You can tell an environmental problem has gone off the radar screen when Friends of the Earth don't have anybody tracking it, and that's the case with acid rain. There is currently no acid rain campaigner at FoE in London (although they will cheerfully point you in the direction of an expert).
These days, the focus of green campaigners has switched almost entirely, away from air pollution to climate change. Yet a generation ago, acid rain was one of the highest-profile green issues, of concern to all the main campaigning environmental groups and to the general public, who were presented with apocalyptic visions of forests dying and lifeless rivers.
It was also the subject of angry argument between nations – not least between the Scandinavian countries, and Britain. In the mid 1980s, when the row was at its height, Norway and Sweden took very strong objection to the fact the acid rain they were suffering from, which was causing serious problems for their forests and lakes, was largely British in origin.
Much of Britain's electricity was then generated by big coal-burning power stations situated in northern England on the eastern side of the Pennines, such as Drax in Yorkshire. These plants burned enormous amounts of coal with a very high sulphur content, and the resultant sulphur dioxide emissions from the power station chimneys were blown by the prevailing westerly winds across the North Sea, transformed into sulphuric acid and deposited on the Scandinavian land mass.
For Britain it was unfortunately "out of sight, out of mind", and the Norwegians and Swedes were furious that the then Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, with Britain's Central Electricity Generating Board run by a Thatcher favourite, Walter Marshall, were long disinclined to take responsibility.
Eventually, however, Britain accepted it had to do something and at considerable expense, flue gas desulphurisation equipment, or sulphur "scrubbers", were fitted to all major power station chimneys. Since then atmospheric sulphur emissions have tumbled in Britain by about 85 per cent. But nitrogen is the new concern now.

Eleanor and Hick - The Love Affair That Shaped a First Lady
- United States
- Biographies & Memoirs , History
- English
More informationA warm, intimate account of the love between Eleanor Roosevelt and reporter Lorena Hickok-a relationship that, over more than three decades, transformed both women's lives and empowered them to play significant roles in one of the most tumultuous periods in American history
In 1932, as her husband assumed the presidency, Eleanor Roosevelt entered the claustrophobic, duty-bound existence of the First Lady with dread. By that time, she had put her deep disappointment in her marriage behind her and developed an independent life-now threatened by the public role she would be forced to play. A lifeline came to her in the form of a feisty campaign reporter for the Associated Press: Lorena Hickok. Over the next thirty years, until Eleanor's death, the two women carried on an extraordinary relationship: They were, at different points, lovers, confidantes, professional advisors, and caring friends.
They couldn't have been more different. Eleanor had been raised in one of the nation's most powerful political families and was introduced to society as a debutante before marrying her distant cousin, Franklin. Hick, as she was known, had grown up poor in rural South Dakota and worked as a servant girl after she escaped an abusive home, eventually becoming one of the most respected reporters at the AP. Her admiration drew the buttoned-up Eleanor out of her shell, and the two quickly fell in love. For the next thirteen years, Hick had her own room at the White House, next door to the First Lady.
These fiercely compassionate women inspired each other to right the wrongs of the turbulent era in which they lived. During the Depression, Hick reported from the nation's poorest areas for the WPA, and Eleanor used these reports to lobby her husband for New Deal programs. Hick encouraged Eleanor to turn their frequent letters into her popular and long-lasting syndicated column "My Day," and to befriend the female journalists who became her champions. When Eleanor's tenure as First Lady ended with FDR's death, Hick pushed her to c

Canada Wheat Board to ask court to block bill
By Rod Nickel
WINNIPEG, Manitoba (Reuters) - The Canadian Wheat Board said on Wednesday it will ask a court to stop the federal government from ending its 68-year-old grain marketing monopoly, casting more uncertainty on the validity of a bill poised to become law this week.
A Federal Court judge ruled last week that Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz had breached existing law by not consulting with the Wheat Board or holding a farmer vote before introducing legislation to end the CWB's monopoly on sales of Western Canadian wheat and barley. But he did not order the new legislation to be killed, and the government has appealed his ruling.
Wheat Board Chairman Allen Oberg said the board will ask a Manitoba court to rule that the government's bill is invalid because it breaks the law, and ask for an order stopping its implementation.
"This government has put itself above the law by proceeding with this bill," Oberg said, adding that the board wants farmers to be granted a vote to decide the monopoly's future.
Ritz said in a statement that ending the monopoly is a question of freedom for farmers to sell their crops to whoever they choose and the government remains focused on passing the legislation.
"We continue to stand up for all farmers and are equally disappointed that the (CWB) directors would continue to put the industry at risk with this desperate and reckless action," Ritz said in a statement.
Under the Conservative government bill, the Wheat Board's monopoly on marketing western wheat and barley for milling or export would end next August, the start of the 2012-13 crop marketing year. The bill would also allow grain handlers, millers and farmers to sign forward contracts immediately for 2012 crops, but legal challenges to the legislation have left all three groups hesitant to move aggressively.
The bill has already cleared the House of Commons and is scheduled for a final vote by the Conservative-controlled Senate on Thursday evening. After that it needs only the usually automatic royal assent by the governor general to become law. Continued...

Land Grab
Landscape art can be a risky venture. For instance, for every Ansel Adams, there are practically 10 Thomas Kinkades (and just one is plenty scary for us). Thankfully, the artists of Un-Ordinary Horizons each take vastly different approaches to the art form, and none of them claim to be "masters of light." Ray-Mel Cornelius is an illustrator and designer whose contributions consist of things like cartoonish cloudbanks, while Sarah Hauser and Noel Kerns traffic in exquisitely detailed photography (Kerns' ghostly nighttime scenes are especially captivating). Mary Morgan and Thomas L. Walker take more abstract approaches to the medium (read: If there are landscapes in these paintings, I honestly haven't dropped enough acid to see them). And if you want to see blurry picture of cows taken with a digital pinhole camera, Guy Reynolds is your man.

The Puppy Love Scam
A few weeks back I wrote about love scams ("You Give Love a Bad Name," WSJ.com) — how scammers are trawling online dating sites looking for suckers. What interested me about the scam is that in some cases the scammers play a very patient game — luring the mark in over a period of months before any sting is attempted.
Sophos, the antivirus people, say they have found a new twist on the same scam, where scammers are apparently luring folk by offering a puppy up for adoption:
The emails, which come from a husband and wife who claim to be on a Christian Mission in Africa say that their Yorkshire Terrier dog is not coping well in the hot weather.
Says Graham Cluley, senior technology consultant for Sophos:
"The criminals are offering the pet puppy in an attempt to gather information from kind-hearted people who jump in to help. If you respond the scammers will try and steal confidential information about you, or sting you for cash. If you fall for a trick like this you'll be the one ending up in the doghouse."
Actually this is not quite new and not completely accurate. The LA Times wrote back in May about how the scam works:
People who responded to the ads eventually were asked to send hundreds of dollars to cover expenses such as shipping, customs, taxes and inoculations on an ever-escalating scale.
Some reported paying fees totaling more $1,500.
A piece in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette last week said the scam had been going across America for a year and points out that a Google search for "Nigerian Puppy Scam" turns up more than 200,000 "hits." (I must confess I found only 16,000.) Bulldogs and Yorkshire Terriers are favorites. The paper was apparently alerted to the scam when ads were found to be running in its own paper. A month earlier the Toronto Star reported that a local woman had parted with $500 for a 11-week old terrier, after responding to an ad on a free local classified site and complying with requests for three payments to ship the dog from Nigeria. (A reporter called up the scammer, who uttered the immortal scammer's words:
"Are you trying to call me a scam? I'm a family man," he said. "I am a man of God. I am a missionary."
For more detail on scams and how to spot them, check out this page on the IPATA website.
Dogs work because we love them, and are suckers for the sob story. What's interesting here — and why these scams are in some ways more dangerous — is that the scam does not play upon people's greed at all, but instead upon their charity and sense of decency.
Two conclusions from this:
- These scams are aimed at throwing a wider, and slightly different, net to the old scams. The victims are going to be people who are moral, not greedy.
- Chances are the scammers are aiming at making less money from these scams, but perhaps make up for it in volume. Perhaps the days are over when scammer aimed to make five-figure sums.

A search for Nigerian Puppy Scam on Google returned about 55,100 results while searching for "Nigerian Puppy Scam" (with quotes) resulted in 2830 results.
Even so, this still preys on people who care more about dogs than humans, and that's as bad as being greedy. I also like how most of these scams say they are "Christian" and so people fall for them without researching them, just like they fall for "Christianity" without researching it.

As if there weren't enough crazy sweet flavors to satiate our rumbling stomachs!
No one likes to be left out. Whether you're an individual, a group or a whole company, if you're not in on the fad of the season, it's time to figure out a way to get in the game. For instant noodle company, Maruchan, they've been severely lacking in the sweet instant noodle contest.
To catch up with their competitors, Maruchan will release "sweet kitsune udon" on January 23, just in time for Valentine's Day. This new take on the classic kitsune udon (sweetened deep-fried tofu pocket in soup with udon noodles) will pack an even sweeter punch that will match up with the saccharine love that exists during the holiday. With specially created flavors that are finished with a light soy sauce taste, this instant noodle will have you believing in love at first taste!
You probably wouldn't think of udon as a great Valentine's Day gift, but thankfully the new flavor also comes with new packaging that will not-so-subtly let you know its purpose. It's pretty

Is putting cavity wall insulation into an existing home a good idea?
The cavity was introduced to prevent rain penetrating into the living area. Any that gets into the gap is supposed to run harmlessly to ground down the internal face of the external leaf. If a filler is introduced, there is a danger that water could cross the cavity. And unless every part of the cavity is insulated, cold spots could result in condensation. Nevertheless, the consensus seems to be that it is a good idea, although no financial benefit can be proven. It may simply improve comfort levels. Retrofitting cavity insulation is defined as ''Building Work'' under the Building Regulations. So there are rules preventing the use of inappropriate materials and definitions of situations where it is not allowed.
How do I find a reputable installer?
Any company carrying out this work should offer a 25-year guarantee by CIGA (The Cavity Insulation Guarantee Agency), belong to The National Insulation Association (NIA) and use materials specified by the British Board of Agrement (BBA).
A boroscope or camera survey of the cavities should be conducted first to identify any wall ties that need replacing or cleaning off, and any damp patches or areas of water penetration must be attended to first.
What materials are best?
Some feel that mineral wool may slump if damp gets into the cavity. However the manufacturers maintain that the density of the blown fibres and their haphazard alignment discourages water penetration. I generally favour this material; if the cavities are likely to get wet, they should never have been filled in the first place.
The Health & Safety Executive advises against Urea Formaldehyde Foam Insulation where the internal leaf of the wall is of porous material or where there are unsealed construction holes or gaps in the structure. It also warns against its use with concrete or steel constructions with vapour permeable plasterboard or insulation board as the decorative internal surface.
Are there grants available?
Visit www.energysavingtrust.org.uk and click on ''Search for Grants and Offers'' (0800 512012). Local authority grants are available for mineral wool but limited to those on benefits or earning less than £15,460 pa per household.
