Koelnmesse is the no. 1 trade fair venue for numerous industries and enjoys excellent domestic and international transport connections. It offers the ideal platform for exhibitors and trade professionals from all over the world.
With 284,000m² of hall space and an outdoor area covering 100,000m², the modern and versatile exhibition centre in Cologne is the fifth largest in the world. Over 44,000 exhibitors and 2.5 million visitors attend events organised by Koelnmesse every year. Flagship trade fairs for more than 25 industries take place in Cologne – including Anuga (for the food industry), photokina (photography and imaging) and imm cologne (furnishings).
Koelnmesse is easy to get to no matter how you choose to travel: Messe/Deutz station has connections to regional, national and international rail networks; there are 15,000 parking spaces close to the exhibition halls with a direct link to the European motorway network, and Cologne/Bonn Airport operates services to 120 destinations in Germany and abroad.
Cologne city centre is only a stone's throw from the exhibition grounds. So after the trade fair closes for the day, the visitors from around the world can enjoy all that Cologne has to offer in the way of history, culture and dining out. The top attraction both for German and for international visitors is Cologne Cathedral, which can be reached in only a few minutes from the exhibition centre. Among the sights to offer a complete contrast to the trade fair hustle and bustle are the historical town hall, the Ludwig Museum and the Chocolate Museum. A number of theatres and the Musical Dome provide evening entertainment and there is a wide choice of restaurants.

What travellers from around the world are saying
Visiting a co-ed spa was a foreign concept to me, being born and raised in Canada. Nudity in my culture is reserved for your own home where some have issues looking at themselves in the mirror. The gym change room is another publicly acceptable nude room, many of us have mastered the art of undressing by using a towel without exposing our private parts. My wife, Kristen, and I walked into that spa and let go of our Canadian mentalities. I undressed in the co-ed change room next to a woman in her 60s. She had kind eyes, a warm smile and no knowledge of nude shame as she stripped down without embarrassment. Kristen and I entered the spa, dropped our towels and were liberated, free for all to gaze upon! There were adults of all ages and body type, casually conversing as if being nude was more comfortable than being clothed. I had to constantly remind myself that people are not judgemental of bodies here, something I have never experienced in North America. Nudity is very much a part of the culture here. This German spa was the first place I have experienced harmony and equality among class, age, sex. Nobody knows whether you walked in with an Armani suit or a ripped t-shirt, you are all equal, beautiful and free. I immediately felt unjudged and part of the community. The architecture and decor of the spa was heavenly. Stone tiles lead the way to a large open room with lounging chairs and a marble swimming pool. The ambiance is zen, with only the sound of calm conversations and light background music. Buddha heads, candles, bamboo designs and waterfalls decorate the many rooms with relaxation and beauty. The outdoor rooftop contained hot tubs and saunas to keep you warm and steamy as well as cold pools and a bucket of snow used to cool your body down before jumping back into the hot tub. I left with my body relaxed, my skin clean, and my mind at peace. I learned that the human body is a beautiful gift which should be appreciated and accepted. Nudity is our original state and should be more widely accepted.read more »
Christmas Markets in Cologne
My notions of winter in Europe have been shaped by Hollywood movies. I expected to watch snowflakes romantically descend upon short winter days, and the cosy glow of Christmas trees in makeshift homes (think boutique hotels) to keep me warm. What surprised me on my December trip to Germany was the camaraderie and sheer revelry at the country's famous Christmas markets, compelling enough to brave the single digit temperatures and rejoice over a white winter! If the thought of Europe evokes images of quaint old churches in juxtaposition with hi-tech buildings, and old towns with cobbled streets and artistic cafes, a winter trip to Cologne only romanticizes those images further. Come December, chirpy little Christmas Markets pop up among the city's most charming neighborhoods, and become the go-to place for the city's locals. Colorful booths line the streets, selling traditional German and Christmas gifts, like the famous Räuchermännchen, a wooden toy that is an incense smoker in disguise. Food stalls serve up hash browns, frankfurters, crepes, and local delicacies. People gather around drinking glühwein, the famous mulled wine of Europe warmed with spices, chatting, warming up over some neighborhood gossip. Christmas music plays everywhere, and the night rings with the clinking of cups and prost. Such revelry! At the Christmas Market on the Alter Markt in Cologne, local craftsmen and women demonstrate their talents with wood crafts, crystal painting and glass glazing; it is fascinating to observe the precision and pride that goes behind each little piece of work, and meet men and women who have come to these markets since they were little boys and girls. But the icing on the cake in a festive Cologne is its main market, which glitters in the dramatic backdrop of the city's oldest and most charming cathedral; truly a European Christmas!read more »
Früh am Dom
If you are feeling thirsty after your tour of the stunning Cologne Cathedral, pop into the Fruh Brauhaus which is located right across from the Dom. For such a touristy location, it is surprisingly packed with locals which is refreshing. (Recent survey found that 70% of the clientele were from the city) The 'kolsch', the local beer served here is also very refreshing. Not too gassy so it goes down well, especially in the unique little 200ml glasses they serve the beer in. The food is good here, generous portions. Altogether a great place to relax in and have a few glasses of the awesome Kolsch.read more »

You can spend hours and hours doing some shopping in Cologne or the cities close by. But too often, the cold and wet weather makes you feel more like curling up at home or in the hotel. So if you are not up to running through the rain just to get some souvenirs oder shopping goods, Cologne (and North Rhine Westphalia) has some great indoor shopping malls to explore! Mexx Outlet Korschenbroich I love Outlet Shopping. There are not that many close to Cologne but one worth a visit is the 'Mexx Outlet' in Korschenbroich which is close to Neuss an not that well known. You can only go there by car and the drive lasts about 30 minutes from Cologne. Visiting this outlet is especially a tip for parents with young kids as you can get really good bargains (30-70% off) when you are looking for Baby clothes or kids outfits but they also have a good women and men section. It is never really crowded so you will always get a parking space. The Outlet looks and feels like a regular shop so there are no rummage tables around that make you feel uncomfortable and there are enough dressing rooms. There is even a small café in it with good coffee and cakes. Tipp: Visiting at the beginning of the week (Tuesday/Wednesday) and you'll have much more choices as they bring in new stuff every week. No special website available for this location. Opening Hours Mexx Outlet Monday to Friday 10 am - 7 pm Saturday 10 am - 6 pm Friedrich-Ebert-Straße 9 41352 Korschenbroichread more »

Question: Is a dropped shovel pass considered an incomplete pass or a fumble?
Answer: A forward pass, is a forward pass, is a forward pass. It can be thrown overhand, underhand, one-handed, two-handed or between your legs. The direction it travels is the only deciding factor as to whether it's forward or backward.
So, if a forward shovel pass hits the ground it's an incomplete pass.
Curt Johnson's American Football Rules Answers for Coaches
LATER NOTE: Alex Sanchez was granted pre-trial release on January 13, 2010. See story here.
Alex Sanchez's lawyer has played a fan-rousing first-quarter game of razzle-dazzle legal football trying to spring the accused Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13) "secret shot caller" from jail while he awaits trial.
Forget the cheers and pom-poms. The case is right back where it started — in the forbidding courtroom of octogenarian federal district Judge Manuel L. Real.
Underhand, overhand, fumble or incomplete pass, call it what you will. A desperate maneuver to get the controversial case reassigned to a different judge blew up like a busted shovel pass hit by a play-reading, line-backing locomotive.
"Tom Diaz has worn out some shoe leather—much like a good detective—in gathering facts, not myths or urban legend. "
—Chris Swecker, Former Assistant Director of the FBI's Criminal Investigative Division.
"Few people know more about the subject than Tom Diaz and no single book tells the whole story better than No Boundaries. If you really want to know what organized crime in America looks like today, then read this alarming book."
—Rocky Delgadillo, former City Attorney of Los Angeles
Order No Boundaries from Amazon.com
Full background on the federal racketeering (RICO) indictment, arrest, and incarceration pending trial of Sanchez — an admitted gangster supposedly reformed and turned anti-gang activist, now accused by the feds of being a "secret shot-caller" — can be found in all of its tortured procedural history here, here, and here.
As Fairly Civil reported in detail here, the appellate brief filed last month on Sanchez's behalf before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals torched Judge Real, the government, its witnesses, and the handling of the case. The brief demanded removal of Judge Real from the case because — paraphrased in layman's terms — he "just doesn't get it." The defense lawyer's next appearance before Judge Real should be … um … interesting — a textbook case, perhaps, of "nothing personal about that flamethrower in the Ninth Circuit, your honor."
Incredibly, while Sanchez's appeal was still pending, startling "news" broke that the case had been reassigned to another judge. Sanchez's many fans popped the corks on the champagne and celebrated an early Christmas.
See how this series of developments unfolded by checking out the excellent (if unabashedly pro-Sanchez) WitnessLA blog here.
This news energized aging California hippy activist and prolific gang fiction writer Tom Hayden like a straight shot of Geritol. Hayden fired up his rhetorical flying saucer on the tarmac over in Area 51, and beamed an ecstatic account of the thrilling development onto the pages of The Nation magazine.
Premature excitation, it turned out.
The case was promptly — and somewhat curtly — reassigned back to Judge Real!
Never one to let the facts get in the way of a good story, Hayden jumped back into his intergalactic travel machine and fired an email straight from the radical 70s, filled with predictably dark imaginings about the manipulation of the legal system, the sinister hidden hand of LAPD corruption tainting the federal legal system …. yadda-yadda, yadda-yadda.
Smoke 'em if you got 'em. But try not to inhale.
Here, is WitnessLA's recitative on Hayden's petulant emission:
Hayden sent around an email Tuesday night containing details and reactions. It read in part:
"The turn of events will raise new suspicions about alleged manipulation of the proceedings which began six months ago with Sanchez' arrest on gang conspiracy charges. Sanchez, a well-known gang intervention worker who helped expose the Los Angeles police Rampart scandal a decade ago, asserts his innocence in the case. He is being held without bail at a federal prison in Los Angeles.
As of 4:30 Tuesday afternoon, no order reversing the transfer had been received by defense counsel, and no explanation offered for the unusual chain of events.
The order surprised and pleased the Sanchez defense team. His supporters, organized as http://www.wearealex.org, assert that Sanchez is being railroaded and denied any semblance of a fair trial. Sanchez' court-appointed counsel, Kerry Bensinger, argued in a recent appeal to the Ninth Circuit that the case should be remanded to another judge.
Why the December 4 transfer order was withdrawn less than a day after it was made public will raise questions about the inner workings of the judiciary itself."
Uh, huh. Something like that.
Or to put it another way: Whiskey Tango Foxtrot???!!
Or, to put it yet another way, "Beam me up, Scotty." In fact, the assignment-reassignment is not puzzling at all.
A complete explanation was then, is now, and will be available in full view, on the public record, in the federal court house in Los Angeles for any journaliste or enfant terrible curious — and energetic — enough to bring actual facts to the question. Anyone without the means to actually get down to the clerk's office (take a bus or ride a bike) can go onto an amazing thing called "the internet" ( a series of interconnected tubes) and dial into reality.
More Geritol, Ma … please!
The Case of the Mysterious Premature Reassignment Explained
Where to start?
Oh, wait, I know!
How about with the actual court order reassigning the reassignment? Brilliant idea!
Here is the complete text of the "Order Returning Case to the Calendar of Judge Manuel Real," United States v. Jose Alfaro, United States District Court for the Central District of California, Docket No. 09-466-CAS, filed December 8, 2009:
As Chair of the Case Assignment and Management Committee, I have been advised by United States District Judge Christina Snyder that she inadvertently signed a transfer order that contained the representation that the present criminal case purportedly "arise[s] out of the same conspiracy, common scheme, transaction, series of transactions or events" that were the subject of CR 05-00539. Apparently the order was generated when a defense attorney submitted a belated notice of related case status. That notice focuses on a case handled by Judge Snyder involving one of the numerous defendants in the present case. Judge Snyder advises that she was unaware of the status of the above-captioned action, does not believe that the relationship of the cases warrants transfer and has referred the matter to me for a determination as to whether the case should be returned to Judge Real.
Even if there is some connection between these two cases, which I note were filed four years apart, the current case is at such an advanced stage and Judge Real has spent such substantial time and effort on the matter that no judicial economy would be achieved by a transfer at this late date. Indeed, a transfer at this point would undermine the very objectives that provide the reason for the rule. Accordingly, the transfer to Judge Snyder is VACATED and the matter is ORDERED to be returned to Judge Real's calendar for all further proceedings.
DATED: December 8, 2009
Judge Gary Allen Feess
Chair, Case Assignment and Management Committee
[Judge Snyder's original order is also available. It is simply a "check the box and sign" order form, CR-59 (12-07), the kind of thing some judges whiz through while pretending to listen from the bench to bloviating counsel. It states in relevant part: "I hereby consent to the transfer of the above-entitled case to my calendar, pursuant to General Order 08-05."]
Um, plainly, this was an attempt at "judge shopping" by "a defense attorney," who is not named and may or may not have been Sanchez's counsel:
We can define "judge shopping" as an effort by a lawyer or litigant to influence a court's assignment of a case so that it will be directed to a particular judge or away from a particular judge. The adversary usually does this to gain partisan advantage in a case (e.g., to steer it to a judge who is likely to impose a more lenient sentence in a criminal case…)
Memorandum by David C. Steelman, National Center for State Courts, January 21, 2003.
Nice try, Anonymous Mouthpiece!
But … no gain on the play. Ball stuffed. First down, government's ball.
Three questions linger, and their answers clear up the rest of the mystery.
- What is "the rule" to which Judge Feess refers in the order?
- What prompted Judge Snyder to refer the matter to Judge Feess?
- What was the allegedly "related" case the unnamed defense counsel was so anxious to hook the present case to?
Well, for anyone who is interested in how things actually operate behind the sinister green curtain, here is the relevant text of the rule, General Order No. 08-05. It pretty well lays out the boring, non-conspiratorial routine procedure — including safeguards — that goes on in such a case of attempted judge-shopping:
It shall be the responsibility of counsel to promptly file a Notice of Related Cases whenever a criminal case previously filed and one or more informations or indictments later filed:
a. arise out of the same conspiracy, common scheme, transaction, series of transactions or events; or
b. involve one or more defendants in common, and would entail substantial duplication of labor in pretrial, trial or sentencing proceedings if heard by different judges.
Whenever counsel files a Notice of Related Cases indicating that any one or more of the above circumstances set forth in Section 11.1 exist, the Clerk shall prepare a proposed transfer order which shall be presented to the transferee judge and processed in the same manner as are related civil cases under Section 5.0 of this General Order.
The Clerk shall also simultaneously provide an informational copy of the proposed transfer order to the judge randomly assigned to the case later filed (the transferor judge).
If the transferee judge approves the transfer, the case shall be transferred to the calendar of the transferee judge. If the transferee judge declines the related case transfer, the case shall proceed as originally assigned on the calendar of the transferor judge.
If the transferor judge disagrees with the decision of the transferee judge, the transferor judge may appeal the decision to the Committee. The Committee shall determine whether the cases are related.
Z-z-z-z. So much for the first two questions. No proposed transfer was ever going to just slip by Judge Real in the dark of night. Whether Judge Snyder figured it out on her own, or got a friendly call from Judge Real and/or the U.S. Attorney's office is immaterial. Once a question was raised, the matter was bound to go to the Case Assignment and Management Committee.
So, what was the case the enterprising defense lawyer selected? For that answer, one must go to Docket No. CR 05-00539 in the same federal courthouse (using the inter-tube thing or skate-boarding to get there).
That docket recounts the case of one Juan Miguel Mancilla, aka "Gato," a gangster who was arrested in one of the first sweeps by the FBI's MS-13 National Gang Task Force. Mancilla was charged with trafficking in methamphetamine. His prosecution was handled by then-assistant United States Attorneys Bruce Riordan and Scott Garringer. In April 2006, "Gato" copped a guilty plea and was sentenced to 97 months in prison. The case has been closed since then.
When the current indictment was handed up in June, Mancilla was also named as a defendant, this time on racketeering charges, and was accordingly arrested while still in federal custody. Whoever the enterprising defense counsel was who filed the transfer motion with Judge Snyder was trying to pin the elephant of this case onto the tail of the sleeping donkey of the Mancilla case.
End of mystery.
Oh, Yeah, and About the Ninth Circuit
The government filed a determinedly sober brief in response to Sanchez's flamethrower. Many observers believe that Sanchez's argument that one of the participants in a series of calls was misidentified is possibly correct, and has given prosecutors a bit of grief. But, the government's answer — so what, the guilty party confessed independent of the wiretap? — has so far trumped the assertion, especially in light of the hundreds upon hundreds of hours of other wiretaps and informant material in the case.
The government's brief, however, contained these interesting assertions, which go beyond the four wiretapped phone calls on which the case has been focused in the bail hearings:
Sanchez had contacts with gang members in 1999, when he arranged a meeting of the shotcallers of the Normandie clique of MS-13 in Los Angeles to negotiate a division of their narcotics distribution enterprise. Sanchez was able to organize this meeting because he was a senior Normandie shotcaller who had been one of the founders of MS-13 in Los Angeles and the former MS-13 representative to the Mexican Mafia. Sanchez has continued to be active in gang business; among other things he has directed its distribution of narcotics and collected proceeds of its narcotics trafficking. Sanchez was intercepted on wiretap calls in 2000, 2001, and 2006 and on recorded prison calls in 2008, talking about MS-13 business.
"Government's Opposition To Defendant's Appeal From Detention Order; Memorandum Of Points And Authorities," United States Court Of Appeals For The Ninth Circuit, Docket No. C.A. 09-50525, filed December 3, 2009.
On December 22, 2009, three Circuit Judges from the Ninth Circuit sent Sanchez's case back to the federal district court, meaning to the courtroom of Judge Real.

HOUSTON, TX -- (Marketwire) -- 11/13/12 -- Idera, a leading provider of application and server management solutions, announced today the release of version 5.0 of Idera Server Backup (formerly R1Soft Continuous Data Protection). Many companies struggle to find comprehensive solutions for the cost effective backup of all their physical servers, as well as the fast-growing population of virtual servers. With Idera Server Backup, companies gain an affordable, enterprise-class software solution for their physical and virtual server environments, at a price point that is 80% cheaper on average than other solutions. Today, Idera Server Backup is protecting more than 275,000 servers in thousands of datacenters worldwide.
"The reality is that properly backing up and protecting data on servers is cost prohibitive for most organizations today. This means that some servers are rarely or infrequently backed up and others aren't backed up at all. Additionally, virtualization means that we need to backup not only the physical servers but the virtual servers that proliferate in our environment," said Wayne Lansdowne, Chief Systems Architect at Applied Innovations. "With Idera we get all the functionality, features and ease of use we need at a price we can afford. Now we are confident that all our servers are effectively protected."
Administrators today face a myriad of challenges in developing a comprehensive, reliable and cost-effective server backup strategy including:
- Rapid, unending growth of physical and virtual servers and data that need to be backed up
- Complex multi-platform environments
- More dynamic data requiring more frequent backups
- Shrinking backup windows and budgets
- Cost and complexity of legacy backup software constraining deployment across servers
Idera Server Backup addresses these challenges by providing a fast, affordable and proven solution for backup and recovery for mixed server environments (physical, virtual, Windows and Linux). With the release of version 5.0, Idera provides all of the key features and functionality needed for effective and speedy backup, at a fraction of the price of other solutions -- $20 per virtual machine or $200 per physical server, up to 20% of the cost of other comparable software.
"There is a gap in the market between high-end legacy backup solutions and single-server tools that don't scale. Companies need reliable solutions that can meet the needs of the environment they have today and the growing physical and virtual server farm they will have tomorrow," said Rick Pleczko CEO of Idera. "We are changing the value price equation with the delivery of Idera Server Backup 5.0, making it easy and cost effective for anyone to backup every server in their datacenter."
Idera Sever Backup Key Capabilities
Unlike other solutions, which can take days to set up, Idera Server Backup can be downloaded, configured and installed in less than 30 minutes. No expensive additional modules are required and no professional services or additional training costs are necessary to get up to speed. The software offers a unique, efficient solution -- Continuous Data Protection -- leveraging block level backup technology that identifies exactly which portions of a hard disk need to be read for an incremental backup. This means the backup is performed with minimal load on production servers and in minutes, not hours, and users can backup data as frequently as every 15 minutes with minimal impact.
The product supports backups for both Windows and Linux. Over 9 different Linux distributions are supported including most custom and patched Linux kernels. The software also protects servers in virtual environments including VMware, Hyper-V and Xen and provides intelligent support for MS Exchange, MySQL and MS SQL Server.
Pricing and Availability
To download a free trial visit http://r1soft.idera.com/ Pricing is $20 per virtual machine backup and $200 for physical server backup. Volume discounts are available.

May 5, 2016
RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) -- The warden of North Carolina's Central Prison has stepped down following an internal review critical of conditions for inmates with mental illness under his supervision.
Correction Secretary Alvin Keller has disclosed that Central Prison Warden Gerald Branker retired Nov. 1 in the wake of an earlier review that found that inmates with serious mental disorders were often isolated for weeks, sometimes nude, in cells puddled with human waste.
The scathing report on conditions inside the prison's mental unit was first made public on Monday by The Associated Press.
Gov. Bev Perdue later called the report's contents "unacceptable."
DOC administrators had previously denied anyone was fired or disciplined over the internal review. Branker had worked at the Raleigh prison since 1979, starting as a correctional officer.

I once got this scenario. This is what the player says as he infiltrates an enemy NPC's mansion.
I am always checking for trap wherever I go. Assume that I am always looking around me wary and being alert for the slightest sound. Also, assume that I am searching for secret doors as well.
Other examples that happens in the game are
I always recover my spent ammo [crossbow bolts]. Unless I say otherwise, I always reload my crossbow.
For the first case, I just assume that he is being alert but the player still does get upset when I ask him to make check rolls. For the second case, I told him upright that I am not his automated helper.
Most of the time when I GM I don't go into the "you didn't say you put on clothes so you are now wandering outside naked", but perhaps the player picks up this habit from other games.
How should a GM deal with such 'standing orders'?

U.S. Energy Information Administration - EIA - Independent Statistics and Analysis
Annual Energy Outlook 2011
Release Date: April 26, 2011 | Next Early Release Date: January 23, 2012 | Report Number: DOE/EIA-0383(2011)
Annual Energy Outlook 2011
presents yearly projections and
analysis of energy topics
Changes from previous AEO2010
- Significant update of the technically recoverable U.S. shale gas resources, more than doubling the volume of shale gas resources assumed in AEO2010, and also added new shale oil resources
- Revision of the methodology for determining natural gas prices to better reflect a lessening of the influence of oil prices on natural gas prices, in part because of the increase in shale gas supply and improvements in natural gas extraction technologies
- Update of the data and assumptions for off shore oil and gas production, pushing out the start of production for a number of projects as a result of the six-month drilling moratoria, and delaying Atlantic and Pacific off shore leasing beyond 2017
See all changes from previous AEO ›
Updates from Early Release Reference case
The Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) Reference case that is included as part of the complete report released in April, 2011 has been updated from the Reference case that was released as part of the AEO2011 Early Release Overview in December, 2010. The Reference case was updated to incorporate modeling changes and reflect new legislation or regulation that was not available when the Early Release Overview version of the Reference case was published. Major changes made in the Reference include:
- Adds 30% ITC to fuel cells with 2016 expiration date
- Retired Oyster Creek nuclear plant at end of 2019
- Revised amount of wind builds in 2012 (7 rather than 10 gigawatts)
See all changes from Early Release Reference case ›
Executive Summary
The projections in the Energy Information Administration's (EIA) Annual Energy Outlook 2011 (AEO2011) focus on the factors that shape the U.S. energy system over the long term. Under the assumption that current laws and regulations remain unchanged throughout the projections, the AEO2011 Reference case provides the basis for examination and discussion of energy production, consumption, technology, and market trends and the direction they may take in the future. It also serves as a starting point for analysis of potential changes in energy policies. But AEO2011 is not limited to the Reference case. It also includes 57 sensitivity cases (see Appendix E, Table E1), which explore important areas of uncertainty for markets, technologies, and policies in the U.S. energy economy.
Key results highlighted in AEO2011 include...
Analysis - By Topic
Energy Sources
Natural Gas
Energy Demand
Other Topics
By Publication Chapter
Introduction/What's New
Executive Summary
Market Trends
Issues in Focus
Legislation & Regulations

The City of La Grange filed two lawsuits Feb. 15 alleging the former mayor removed official records and property from city hall and improperly sold city property during her final days in office.
Carter, a two-term mayor of La Grange and former city council member, sold a house in the 400 block of First Avenue Dec. 14 to a city employee, according to a deed filed in the county clerk's office.
The buyer paid less than 20 percent of the home's $85,000 value.

The artistic skate/ BMX path at Woodward East was the original brain child of Gary Ream. Gary had a vision to create the path of the future. This would be a walking path and cart path that was comprised of a number of artistic elements that could be used in many different ways. Along with California Skateparks, Bill Minadeo and Nate Wessel designed the initial 600 lineal feet part of the path last year comprising of concrete sculptural elements.

The Santa Rosa Press Democrat reports (http://bit.ly/NcVegk) Ian "Skip" Wilson was shocked to get a call from the California Highway Patrol informing him that his long-lost Chevy was taken off an Australia-bound cargo ship.
The 65-year-old says the car has had a lot of work done on it since it disappeared from his Lake County home in 1984. It was returned with a monogrammed interior, 17-inch racing wheels, rack-and-pinion steering and a 350-horsepower V-8 engine.
The retired mechanic says the two-door was in sorry shape when he bought it for $375 in 1975 with plans for fixing it up.

I hardly get milk n ma baby is mostly on Formula. ..I have tried every possible thing n remedies. ..I feel like a failure can sumone help me plz
How will I know if my baby is latched on correctly?
Emma Dufficy
With some positions, such as laid-back-breastfeeding (biological nurturing), your baby can more easily use her instincts and natural reflexes to latch on, which you may find helpful.
Your baby needs to get a good mouthful of breast when she starts to feed. You can encourage this by checking that the following is happening:
- Her mouth is as wide open as possible before she attaches to your breast.
- Her tongue, bottom lip and chin touch your breast first.
- Once attached, her chin is touching your breast, and her nose is free.
Feeding your baby shouldn't hurt, beyond the initial tingling and stinging feeling that you may get with the letdown of your milk. If you're in pain, it's a sign that your baby isn't latched on properly. Gently insert your finger between your baby's mouth and your breast to break the seal, and then try again. If you carry on feeding while it hurts, you'll probably end up with sore nipples. Talk to your midwife if you are at all worried.
If your baby starts to feed almost immediately, it's a good sign that all is going well. During a feed, you should notice her change from a few short, quick sucks, to slow, deep sucks. She may pause a few times while she's feeding and then start sucking again, without you needing to coax her. If she takes a few sucks and then goes to sleep, she's probably not latched on.
If you look down at your baby while she's feeding, her head should be tipped back. She should be able to breathe easily during the feed, without you needing to push your breast away from her nose. You should be able to see more of the dark part of your breast (the areola) above your baby's top lip than below her bottom lip. Your baby's cheeks should be full and rounded as she feeds.
Once your baby has started to feed, she should relax, and stay relaxed, until she's had enough milk. If she is wriggling around, she is probably not latched on well. Sometimes babies bob their heads up and down, or from side to side, before latching on. This is instinctive behaviour that helps her to find your nipple and to stimulate your milk flow.
If your milk flows very fast after it's come in, about three days after the birth, you may need to let your baby stop feeding after a few minutes, to bring up any wind.
Your baby should let go of your breast on her own when she's finished, or will let go if you gently move or lift your breast. Have a look at your nipple at the end of the feed. Though it may be a different shape, if your nipple is at all squashed, it probably wasn't far back enough in your baby's mouth.
If you think that your baby is not latched on properly, see our how to breastfeed guide and watch a mum latch her baby on in a sitting position. You can also see how a baby latches on using instinctive behaviours by watching a mum using a laid-back breastfeeding position.
If you are still having problems, talk to your midwife, GP or health visitor, or ask to be referred to a breastfeeding specialist.

My baby wouldn't latch on to feed and to make things worse he was taken to a neonatal unit where they gave him formula top ups with a bottle so he became used to a teet. My nipples were bleeding where he was chomping down trying to get milk! I kept expressing and didn't give up although I felt like a complete failure. Just as I was about to give up a midwife saved us with 2 words NIPPLE SHIELDS! I don't know why these aren't mentioned more often. My baby breastfed happily with these. 6 weeks later I finally plucked up the courage to try again without them and I could finally feed normally it felt like the biggest achievement! There's a huge pressure to breastfeed your baby and your baby not latching on can't be an excuse if you can find nipple shields!
Keep up with baby's development and yours during pregnancy

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - This is the unlikely love story of Dr. Robert Bowles and the former Joyce Johnson, now Dr. Joyce Bowles. They are two decorated Army veterans who prove sometimes love can be right in front of you, but you just don't see it.
She's chatty. He's quiet. She's outgoing, he's, well, let's ask Joyce: "He was a nerd. No, I shouldn't say that. But he was a nerd."
To be clear, they are night and day. But like night and day, they always meet in the middle. But the meeting didn't happen the way you might think.
Joyce explains, "We were in Vietnam at the same time. Even though he would visit the hospital, I never saw him and he never saw me."
This is a love story between two veterans whose paths crossed in Vietnam time and time again, but they never knew.
The former Joyce Johnson was an Army nurse in the 85Th "evac" in Vietnam. Robert Bowles was an Officer with the 101st Airborne Division. His task was to rescue the guys on the front lines. The two lived parallel lives. Both studied for their doctorates. He got divorced. She never married.
Years later, in 1980, friends told them they should meet. The phone call didn't go so well. Again, Joyce explains, "He starts telling me how busy he is, how this is important and this and that......"
That's when Robert chimes in, while laughing. "She's making it dramatic!"
"But that's the way it was," Joyce counters good-naturedly.
They married six months later. That was more than 30 years ago. They added a son to their family, and later, three grandchildren.
These doctors may have different traits, but they share something similar that their memories will never erase: their time serving our country.
Robert says, "We are very proud veterans and very proud Americans."
At the end of the day, she's still light-hearted, and he's still serious. They are an unlikely duo, who's love is more likely than even they thought from that very first phone call.
As Joyce is explaining, Robert interrupts. "She needed to meet me, she needed to meet me, I'm probably the best thing that ever happened to her!"
Joyce interrupts, "My mother said that!" I asked her if she agreed. Her answer: "Absolutely."

- Denver's police chief demotes former rival from selection process
Denver Police Chief Robert White today demoted Division Chief Tracie Keesee, who was heavily favored by officers during the search for a chief that ended with White's appointment, and transferred four other cops.
White said the moves were in the best interest of the department, but wouldn't explain why he made them.
"I don't want to talk about a personnel matter — I don't think that would be appropriate," White said.
Keesee didn't return calls or an email request for comment.
A high-ranking police source said Keesee's demotion to her permanent rank of captain came after White ordered a forensic search of department computers to track an annonymous letter that circulated in department circles recently. The letter, which was published by The Denver Post last Thursday, claimed that White isn't bringing needed change to the department in personnel decisions and was swayed in his decision making when a key commander got him free tickets to a Broncos game.
White denied through a spokesman that the tickets came from the commander. The two tickets to the Dec. 11 game against the Chicago Bears came from a local businessman.
The letter was traced to Lt. Vince Porter, who worked in Deputy Chief John Lamb's office. Porter sent the letter to Keesee, according to a separate source familiar with the incident.
Porter has been moved to District 6, and will keep his present rank, according to a list of personnel transfers provided by the department.
Keesee, who until today was division chief in charge of research, training and technology, will take over as UASI coordinator, a liason between the department and the Department of Homeland Security, White said.
Lt. Steven Addison will be moved from District 6 to a temporary position in the homicide unit.
Capt. William Nagle, of the vice and narcotics bureau, will take Keesee's place, and Capt. Jennifer Steck, who occupied Keesee's new position as USAI coordinator, will move to Lamb's office.
Keesee, a 22-year veteran of the department, was heavily favored by the rank-and-file during the city's recent search to replace former chief Jerry Whitman. Mayor Michael Hancock chose White, who previously headed the Louisville, Ky., police department from a field of 61 applicants for the job.

Voter disdain spreads as 'fiscal cliff' looms
President Barack Obama speaks to workers about the economy during a visit to Daimler Detroit Diesel in Redford, Mich., Monday, Dec. 10, 2012. The scene playing out on Capitol Hill is a familiar one as lawmakers with competing ideologies wage an 11th-hour battle to avert a predictable crisis. This one comes just a year after an equally divided Washington nearly let the country default on its loan obligations, a debt-ceiling debate that contributed to the electorate's deep lack of faith in their elected leaders and a drop in the nation's credit rating.

The Liberty City Cocks is an American football team based in Liberty City in the GTA III and GTA IV era. The team plays at the Liberty Memorial Coliseum (also known as Bush Stadium) on Staunton Island. Many Cocks fans can be seen walking aroung the Bush Stadium and some can even be heard asking others if they are a fan of the Liberty City Beavers (their fierce rivals).
The Cocks and the Beavers have known meetings. On The Tight End Zone, a program on West Coast Talk Radio, Derrick Thackery mentions a match between the two. The second occurs in September 2001, with the Cocks beating the Beavers 3-0. [1] The only known player is Ma'am, who scored all three points to win. [1]
In Grand Theft Auto Advance, Asuka Kasen orders Mike to injure one of Vice City Mambas quarterbacks to increases the chances of the Liberty City Cocks winning the match.
- Another one of Rockstar's crude humorous jokes, the word "cock" can mean a rooster, or (more likely) a penis.
- The same can be said about their stadium name, Bush Stadium, which can mean a plant, or pubic hairs.
- An outfit named as the Cox Mascot suit can be rewarded to the player in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories after the completion of Slash TV. This suggests that the term Cox is either a colloquial term for the team or the name of their mascot.
- Bush Stadium is similar to Autzen Stadium in Eugene, Oregon, though the stadium is much more similar to the Los Angeles Memorial Colosseum. The civil rivalry between fans of the Cocks and Beavers is similar to the civil rivalry of University of Oregon Ducks (Liberty City Cocks) and the Oregon State University Beavers (Liberty City Beavers).
- The team has an offical fan club whose main building is across from the stadium.
- It is unclear what sport the Cocks play. The team crest and Liberty Tree article suggest that the Cocks are a soccer team, but the field inside the stadium and the "Two-Hand Toss" mission show that they play American football.
- Luis Lopez has a Liberty City Cocks book in his apartment.

December 20th, 2012
Nathan Berrong works at CNN's satellite desk and writes Eatocracy's beer column, "Berrong on Beer." He Tweets at @nathanberrong and logs beers at Untappd.
The end of the world is just a day away, and as the crazies prepare for it by stockpiling canned goods and jugs of water, I'm more concerned about which beer I'm going to drink to celebrate the future. You see, the world isn't really going to end and the Mayans didn't even predict it would. December 21, 2012, is just the final date on one of the Mayan calendars. According to scholars, the ancient Maya created several calendars and when one ended, another began.
For the Mayans, the end of a calendar cycle wasn't about death and destruction but about rebirth and newness. December 21 should be about the celebration of what's to come, not about the doom and gloom of a bygone world. Regardless of which view you lean towards, there's a beer for you!
Beers for when the end of the world draws nigh:
Unibroue - La Fin du Monde
Shock Top - End of The World Midnight Wheat
The Lost Abbey - Judgment Day
Three Floyds - Apocalypse Cow
DC Brau - On the Wings of Armageddon
Elysian - Doom Golden Treacle Pale
Weyerbacher - Rapture
Beers for a new and better world on the horizon:
Sierra Nevada - Celebration
Shmaltz Brewing Company - Jewbelation
Sam Adams - Utopias
Avery - New World
Russian River - Redemption
What beers will you be drinking as the Mayan calendar comes to end on 12/21/12? Let me know in the comments. Cheers!
