|Out There is possibly the best 5.9 face route at Sandstone, althouth the 5.9 start to Gargantua might be better. Oh, and there is the route left of Dancing Madly. OK, Out There is among the best 5.9 face routes at Sandstone. . .maybe.

|I climbed this at the end of October 2007 in a cold 35 degree day. I sent it 3 times. On the 3rd time, I slipped off a hold on top, tried to reach for a crimp to save myself with my right hand, jabbed my middle finger into the wall, broke it (didn't know that yet) and saved myself from the fall and finished up the climb. When I got back home, my finger really hurt. And it continued to hurt throughout the winter.

|Thx Nick. It felt great to finally lead this thing. I'd been thinking about it since last season. Thx for the belay as well. And the direct start is the only way to do this thing. Don't use that crack to get to it, just use small crimps on the face.

Title: Race to the Pole ABRIDGED
By: James Cracknell, Ben Fogle
Narrated by: James Cracknell, Ben Fogle
A very British adventure: the first race to the South Pole since Scott and Amundsen, 100 years ago.
New Year's Day, 2009. Somewhere on the bottom of the world, six teams of adventurers and explorers have gathered to race one another, on foot, to the South Pole. It is the first time that anyone has undertaken such a race in almost a hundred years; the first time since the great Norwegian, Roald Amundsen, beat Captain Scott to the same goal in 1911.

The Minnesota Wild returns to action tonight, looking to improve in the middle frame of a short 3 game home stand. They will look to build on their slight edge over the ninth-place Phoenix Coyotes as they host an Edmonton Oilers squad that has continually had difficulties living up to their talent level for several years.
Edmonton arrives in frigid St. Paul as the owners of the second lowest point total in the National Hockey League with 35 and has been especially futile in their own zone, outpacing the rest of the field by giving up 174 goals this season. In an attempt to reclaim the back half of what is already a lost season, the Oilers made several transactions in a matter of hours. The first move was to acquire goaltender Ben Scrivens, who played well in a mixture of backup and starting roles with the Los Angeles Kings. Soon after his acquisition, they parted ways with goaltender Devan Dubnyk, a move that should have already been made this past summer.
The formula for success this evening is for the Wild to get physical and knock around the young and likely deflated Oilers tonight from the drop of the puck. If they are able to pressure the opposition immediately and pot a few goals early against Scrivens, the visitors will be in for a long night on the road.
Another key to tonight's contest is the ability to play a sound defensive game and move the puck quickly past the Oilers speedy forwards such as Taylor Hall and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. While the Oilers are the cellar dwellers of the Western Conference, this is not a team that the Wild want to get into a north and south game with. While it may not be exciting and it goes against the philosophy that the Wild are trying to employ this season, the best plan of attack is to get pucks deep and pressure the puck in an attempt to cause mistakes. If the Wild are able to set a physical tone in the offensive zone, dictate the pace of play, and allow Darcy Kuemper to remain in the rhythm he has already established in his past 2 games, fans can expect a victory tonight.
In other news, two of the Wild's most important players are nearing returns to the ice in the coming week. Zach Parise skated with the team for the first time on Wednesday since missing 11 games. His presence in the locker room with a young team and obvious scoring prowess will be welcomed with open arms. No definitive return date has been set, but it is a good sign that he is nearing a full recovery. Goaltender Josh Harding, the NHL's leader in goals-against average and runner-up in save percentage, is on his way back from complications with his MS. The Wild has received above-average play between the pipes in his absence from both Backstrom and Kuemper, but there is no secret that Harding should be the backstop the rest of the season as long he remains healthy.

Jordan Oyer - Sports Information Director
Donaldson, IN - The Saint's men soccer team ramped up the preseason last night with a 5-0 victory over the Ancilla College Chargers. This exhibition game was the first of two scheduled for the Saints during preseason, before they open the regular season against Huntington College at home on August 27 at 4:00 PM.
The game started slow with both sides feeling each other out and trying to mesh the new players with the returners. The Saints have brought in 12 new players this year to add to their 12 returners. The first half ended 0-0 with not many chances created. But Coach Gallo made some tactical changes at half and the Saints had an offensive explosion in the second half with 5 goals and lots of chances created.
Junior college transfer, Lukman Ahmed-Shaibu, came on in the 20th minute and wreaked havoc on the Chargers back line scoring a hat trick in the second half. "My first two goals were created from our team's execution. The team definitely deserves the credit for the hat trick," said Lukman, "The team is really starting to come together and I feel at home here in only a couple weeks with the guys, but we must continue to improve to achieve our team goals this year."
Also adding to the goal tally was Alfredo Molestina and Steven Smith with second half strikes. Not to be outdone the Saints defense was solid all night conceding 0 goals and Carlos Garcia had a fantastic save on an Ancilla penalty kick to preserve the clean sheet for the Saints. "We dressed eighteen guys tonight and all eighteen got time on the field. It's great to be able to see all your pieces on the field during preseason, so you can understand the depth and strengths of your team before the season even begins," stated Coach Gallo. "Overall it was a great performance to build on going forward in this preseason."

[ picking this up again now that CommitFest is over ] So that I don't have to keep referring to "this possibility" and similar circumlocution, let's define an index-accelerated path (feel free to suggest a different term) to be the generalization to joinrels of what we now call a nested inner index-scan. In other words, they can only be usefully used on the inner side of a nested loop, where they'll be rescanned with different parameters for each outer row, and they can only ever win when some part of the path involves a *partial* index scan that can used one of the passed parameters as an index qual. For a fixed a set of parameters to be pushed down from the outer side, it seems to me that we could build up a set of index-accelerated paths for a joinrel {A B} by considering the combination of (1) an index-accelerated path for A joined to an index-accelerated path for B, or (2) an index-accelerated path for A joined to the cheapest total path for B. I believe we don't need to worry about path keys because this will only ever be used on the inner side of a nested loop, so the pathkeys will be ignored anyway. In other words, the first heuristic is that you can't build up an index-accelerated path for the joinrel unless there is an index-accelerated path for a least one of its baserels. That still leaves a lot of silly paths, though. In many cases, if you're thinking about joining A to {B C} using an index-accelerated path, you'd be just as well off joining to B first and then to C. So it might be that we only need to consider index-accelerated paths when there is no legal join between the LHS and a subset of the RHS. But I'm not completely sure that I'm right about this, nor whether it's easy to check for. The other problem I see here is that the bottom-up approach that we use in general is going to be difficult to apply here, because the set of paths will vary depending on what parameters are pushed down from the outer side. > I think Andrew was suggesting that we not attempt to consider this > automatically, but only when the user writes the query in a way that > exposes it directly via LATERAL. While that goes against my normal > instincts for the planner, it isn't unreasonable as a first step. Possibly, but I'm not sure we have a good enough design sketch at this point to even know whether such a restriction would be useful. Another thought, only semi-related. One of the big use cases for LATERAL in general is to use a set-returning function in the FROM clause that uses vars from a preceding FROM item. I am idly wondering if there's a reason why ExecProject is not its own node type. It seems that we have close to the same logic scattered through a whole bunch of different node types... ...Robert

Surrey council's decision making transparency questioned
A Surrey councillor's pledge for four more years of a prestigious sporting event in the county has triggered a backlash over the transparency of council decision making.
Opinions are divided over the economic and environmental benefits to Surrey.
Tory Councillor Helyn Clack told a public forum the county "had an agreement" to host a London-Surrey cycle event for five years in total.
But the leader of the Lib Dems says she can find no record of such a decision.
The RideLondon 100-mile race was one of several cycling events to have been staged in Surrey to cash in on the legacy of the London 2012 Olympics.
More than 65,000 people took part in the inaugural event in August, and supporters say such events have helped raise the profile of the county and encourage people to cycle more and drive less.
But many people say they have been trapped by road closures or lost potential business as a result of the major disruption that road events inevitably cause.
Public involvement
Now Lib Dem opposition leader Hazel Watson has questioned the transparency of council decisions on major cycling events, claiming she can find no record of the council agreeing to stage a total of five RideLondon 100 events.
Mrs Watson said she had been referred to a decision made by the council's cabinet in private in 2011, but she said it makes no reference to five years.
She said: "If Surrey County Council is to enter into a five-year agreement... there ought to have been a formal decision about it, and I haven't been able to find out where and when that decision was made."
The Lib Dem leader acknowledged there were potential benefits to the county from staging such races, but she said there should be a review following this summer's event to determine whether it was a good idea to continue them - and to enable the public to take part in the decision making.
The county council declined to comment on whether it had agreed to five years of RideLondon 100 but issued a comment saying: "The decision to hold RideLondon-Surrey was made legally. The route was consulted on and advance notice of both the event and road closures was given.
"Plans have to be agreed each year before the event takes place."

Figueroa takes calculated approach in hopes of making Pirates rosterMarch 7, 2016 12:00 AM
BRADENTON, Fla. — Cole Figueroa has been a numbers guy for as long as he can remember. If baseball hadn't gotten in the way, he would've studied engineering rather than sports business at the University of Florida. He enjoys writing code with R and Python, computer programming languages.
Seems like someone who might know every digit of pi, right?
"Well, haven't tried this in a while," Figueroa said Sunday, then tried anyway. "It goes something like this … 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288419716939937510.
"That's the first 50."
Figueroa, 28, signed with the Pirates in December as a minor league free agent. He has been running the math this spring and figures his best chance to break camp with the big league club is to bounce around the diamond. At this stage, he said, defensive versatility means more at-bats.
An infielder by trade, Figueroa played outfield just twice in the minors. This month, he already has played nine innings in left field, and five apiece at shortstop and third base.
"Just trying to find out where we can go with him," manager Clint Hurdle said over the weekend. "We profiled him as a super-utility guy. … We've got to get him out there and take looks."
Figueroa has a proud baseball heritage. His father, Bien (short for Bienvenido), played briefly for the St. Louis Cardinals in 1992. His godfather, Luis Alicea, spent 13 years in the majors. Figueroa and his identical twin brother, J.C., were a double-play duo through high school in Tallahassee, Fla.
"Short-and-second twins," Figueroa said with a smile. "Exactly what you'd expect."
The brothers were drafted in 2006, but did not sign and parted ways for college. J.C. played at St. Petersburg College and University of Tampa and was selected in the 41st round in 2008 — he now runs a hitting academy in Tallahassee.
Figueroa, the older twin, was a sixth-round pick by the San Diego Padres in 2008. He spent six years in the Padres and Tampa Bay Rays minor league systems before debuting for the Rays May 16, 2014 — 22 years minus a day after his father's major-league debut.
Figueroa signed a minor league deal with the New York Yankees last year and batted .292 with a .355 on-base percentage at Class AAA Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He said he had multiple offers this offseason but ultimately saw the Pirates as the best fit.
"When you go through that process, it's all about sincerity," he said. "You go where your gut tells you after you look at the rosters and the opportunities there. Pittsburgh is a smaller-market club. I knew they weren't going to go out and sign a bunch of big-name free agents, so I knew there'd be more of an opportunity. Do your homework, and if it works out, great. If it doesn't, do well in the minors and try to put yourself into the lineup."
With few spots open, Figueroa still has an outside chance at making the 25-man roster. The way he sees it, being an above-average defender at a half-dozen positions could go a long way.
"I'm 28 — that's the prime of a career," he said. "Whatever gets me out there and playing. You want to help the team, not hurt it. If I'm out there and I can contribute in the outfield and the infield, that's where I need to be. That's fine with me."
And if Figueroa ends up starting the season in the minors, he might spend the long bus rides catching up on reading. He likes the physics, geometry and analytics of baseball. He bought a book recently called 'Analyzing Baseball Data with R.' Or he might just memorize the next 50 digits.
"It's almost Pi Day, by the way," he said, referring to March 14. "Caught me a couple days early."
Game data
Score: Astros 11, Pirates 8
Records: Astros (3-1), Pirates (2-3-1)
Starter: Juan Nicasio: 2 IP, H, 2K
Hitter: Max Moroff: 2 for 2
Of note: Before the Astros offense caught fire Sunday, Nicasio had its number. The only hit he gave up was a chopper to third base that Moroff couldn't quite handle.
"Feeling good," Nicasio said afterward.
The Pirates are stretching Nicasio out this spring, so he will be an option to either start games or enter in long relief. He said he'd be happy to work out of the rotation or the bullpen.
"He's in the mix as a starting option — a depth starter — or we can work him back into the bullpen," manager Clint Hurdle said. "We haven't made that decision yet."
News of the day
Left-handed reliever Cory Luebke (hamstring) threw a bullpen session Sunday in front of pitching coach Ray Searage and is ready to face live hitters. Luebke said he is pitching with "no reservations." He'll throw two simulated games this week. … Andrew McCutchen's fifth-inning single was his first hit this spring.

Lake County Ohio GenWeb
This biography is taken from History of Geauga and Lake counties; Williams Brothers, 1878.
Transcribed and submitted by Becky Falin, 1996.
John Walworth, who came from Aurora, New York, to Mentor, Lake county, in 1799, was one of the most prominent settlers of the Reserve. After remaining in Mentor through the winter he returned to New York, and in the following year brought his family to Painesville, arriving on the 8th of April. As an evidence of his capability, - for capability to fill an office was regarded in those days as one of the qualifications a man should possess to entitle him to favor of appointment or election, - it may be stated that Mr. Walworth was appointed as justice of the peace for Trumbull county, 1812; associate judge, 1803; as postmaster at Painesville, 1804; inspector of the port of Cuyhoga, 1805; collector of the district of Erie, 1806; associate judge of Geauga county, 1806; and postmaster at Cleveland in the same year, and that when the county of Cuyahoga was organized he was made county clerk and recorder. Mr. Walworth remained in Painesville but a short time, going from there to Cleveland, where he had an office, which was, we believe, the first frame building erected there; at any rate, it was the only one standing in 1810. Mr. Walworth was born at Groton, New London county, Connecticut, in 1765, and died in the dark days of the war, September 10, 1812. His wife, a native of the same place in which he was born, died in 1853, in Cleveland.

ISSUE: The issue for determination is whether the claimant has submitted sufficient medical evidence to support a causal relationship between his diagnosed condition and the accepted work exposures.
REQUIREMENTS OF ENTITLEMENT: Under 20 CFR 10.606(b)(2), the application for reconsideration, including all supporting documents, must set forth arguments and contain evidence that either the office erroneously applied or interpreted a specific point of law, by advancing a relevant legal argument not previously considered by the office, or by submitting relevant and pertinent evidence not previously considered by the office. Section 10.608(b) provides that where the request is timely, but fails to meet at least one of the standards described in 10.606(b)(2) or the request is untimely and fails to present any clear evidence of error, the office will deny the application for reconsideration without reopening the case for a review of the merits.
To establish causal relationship a claimant must submit medical evidence establishing that the employment factors identified by the claimant were the proximate cause of the condition for which compensation is claimed or, stated differently, medical evidence establishing that the diagnosed condition is causally related to the employment factors identified by the claimant. The medical evidence required to establish a causal relationship, generally, is rationalized medical opinion evidence. Rationalized medical opinion evidence is medical evidence which includes a physician's rationalized opinion on the issue of whether there is a causal relationship between the claimant's diagnosed condition and the implicated employment factors. The opinion of the physician must be based on a complete factual and medical background of the claimant, must be one of reasonable medical certainty, and must be supported by medical rationale explaining the nature of the relationship between the diagnosed condition and the specific employment factors identified by the claimant.
BACKGROUND: The history of this claim has been well documented in previous decisions and will not be repeated in its entirety. On 01/23/2002, after a merit review of the claim, a decision was issued to modify the initial denial and deny the claim because causal relationship had not been established. The claimant did not agree with this decision and requested a reconsideration on 01/17/2003.
On 03/19/2003, following a merit review of the claim, the Office denied modification of the earlier decision. The claimant did not agree with this decision and on 03/19/2004, the claimant requested a reconsideration. With his request for reconsideration, the claimant provided an occupational history record dated 09/05/1979.
On 05/04/2004, the Office declined the reconsideration request without review of its merits stating that the reconsideration request was untimely and that the claimant had not demonstrated a clear evidence of error on the part of the Office. The claimant disagreed with this decision and requested a review by the Employee's Compensation Appeal Board (ECAB) on 05/04/2005.
On 02/02/2006, the ECAB remanded the claim back to the Office as they found the reconsideration request to be timely filed. In their decision, the ECAB ordered that the Office review the timely request for reconsideration under the appropriate standard of review.
The appropriate standard of review would then be to consider all evidence received with the 03/19/2004 request for reconsideration as well as any evidence received by the Office since that date. The evidence will be evaluated to determine whether it meets the criteria established under 20 CFR 10.606(b)(2)
With his request for reconsideration, the claimant submitted an Occupational History Record dated 09/05/1979.
Subsequent to the 03/19/2003 decision, the Office received the following documents:
* 02/19/2004 letter requesting copies of several files under FOIA.
* 03/19/2004 congressional inquiry into the concerns of the claimant.
* 06/28/2004 congressional inquiry into the concerns of the claimant. This 8 page transmittal includes a letter from Dr. Dabe dated 02/16/2004 (a copy of the medical evidence has been split from the congressional and now stands alone in the claim file for easier review).
* 05/01/2005 letter requesting copies of all records under FOIA.
* 05/04/2005 letter advising the Office of the ECAB appeal
* Hearing Conservation Records from the employing agency (DD Form 2216) A dispensary permit from 10/05/1989 regarding hearing loss
* Medical Care records from the PSNS Branch Dispensary
* A DD214 - Report of Transfer or Discharge Armed Forces of the US
* 01/16/2006 letter requesting clarification of a telephone conversation with ECAB
* 04/05/2006 letter requesting status of the remand decision.
* 04/07/2006 congressional inquiry into the concerns of the claimant.
In this instance, the evidence submitted is sufficient to warrant a merit review of the claim.
DISCUSSION OF EVIDENCE: The congressional inquiry dated 06/28/2004 contained a letter dated 06/11/2004 from RN Kay McManemy forwarding a report from Dr. Dabe which had been written in 02/2004 but not sent to the Office.
The medical opinion contained in the 02/16/2004 letter is basically a restatement of the opinion previously considered by the Office in his 01/21/2003 report. In the 02/16/2004 letter, Dr. Dabe has stated that the claimant's chronic myelocytic leukemia was aggravated or precipitated by the work history of exposures to the listed agents in an attached record, however, the attachment was not included with the copy provided to the Office. Dr. Dabe's opinion is not clearly rationalized and is equivocal. Dr. Dabe states that the claimant's condition was aggravated OR precipitated by work exposures provided by the claimant. The physician's opinion is diminished when he does not make a definite finding. Dr. Dabe does not discuss how the pre-existing condition was aggravated or precipitated by the claimant's limited exposure from 03/21/1993 - 02/19/1994 to vehicle exhaust fumes. A statement without medical rationale explaining the basis for the finding has little probative value. Furthermore, Dr. Dabe has stated that the claimant provided him a list of "agents° that he had been exposed to during many years of employment and that is why he has a reasonable medical certainty of the causal relationship to his illness. This claim covers the period 03/21/1993 through 02/19/1994 and the Office has accepted that the claimant experienced limited exposure to vehicle exhaust fumes. The physician continues to relate the claimant's current condition to exposures to various agents over a period of many years. The claimant has not established that he was exposed to multiple agents, only vehicle exhaust fumes. Without a clear and accurate history of injury, the medical opinion is not well rationalized. Dr. Dabe's letter concludes by discussing the treatments that have been provided to the claimant.
The medical records from the employing agency are not considered relevant to this claim. The hearing conservation tests and other dispensary permits, etc. do not appear to address any exposures related to this claim nor is there any mention of the current condition. The records are of diminished value and offer no evidence of a causal relationship.
The question of causal relationship is a medical issue which usually requires reasoned medical opinion for resolution. For this reason, the congressional inquiries and the claimant's multiple letters to the Office and/or appellant board do not have relevance to the issue under reconsideration.
BASIS FOR DECISION: "While the medical opinion of a physician supporting causal relationship does not have to reduce the cause or etiology of a disease or condition to an absolute medical certainty, neither can such opinion be speculative or equivocal. The opinion of a physician supporting causal relationship must be one of reasonable medical certainty that the condition for which compensation is claimed is causally related to the employee's federal employment and such opinion on causal relationship must be supported with affirmative evidence, be explained by medical rationale and be based on a complete and accurate medical and factual background." Phillip J. Deroo, 39 ECAB - (1988)
The medical evidence of record does not meet the criteria to establish a causal relationship between the claimant's current condition and his limited exposure to vehicle exhaust fumes for the period of 03/21/1993 - 02/19/1994.
A person claiming benefits has the burden of establishing by the weight of the reliable, probative, and substantial evidence that his or her condition was caused or adversely affected by the employment. As part of this burden he or she must present rationalized medical opinion evidence, based on a complete factual and medical background, showing causal relation. The mere fact that a disease manifests itself during a period of employment does not raise an inference that there is a causal relationship between the two. Neither the fact that the disease became apparent during a period of employment, nor the belief of the employee that the disease was caused by the employment, is sufficient to establish causal relationship. (Meadows, 28 ECAB 290)
CONCLUSION: Following a review of the case on its merits under 5 USC 8128, I find that modification of the 03/19/2003 decision should be disallowed as the evidence on file does not support that a medical connection between the accepted exposure and the diagnosed condition.

Cyber-attacks have become a big deal in the mainstream news recently. Several major Web sites fell victim to denial of service attacks in July and August (read more about denial of service attacks in "Zombie Attack"). Twitter was the most notable to get victimized, as hackers twice brought the social networking site to its knees for several days. Media reports suggested Russian operatives staged at least one of the attacks to silence a blogger critical of Russia's policies toward the nation of Georgia.
However, cyber-attacks threaten not only businesses, but also critical infrastructure. With more and more of American society reliant on the Internet, terrorists could theoretically bring down important parts of the nation's infrastructure--hospitals, utilities, communication channels such as Twitter or government agencies, for example--through Web-based attacks.
"[These] attacks are not necessarily meant to get at customer data but are just meant to shut down systems and wreak havoc," says Susan Lyon, of counsel at Perkins Coie.
She mentions that systems such as hospitals, phone lines, electricity and even Twitter are crucial during a national disaster or security crisis. But as the Twitter hackers showed in August, these systems are also vulnerable to attack.
President Obama supports development of a national cybersecurity policy. At press time, he was expected to soon announce a national cybersecurity adviser, although he ran into a significant hitch when the main contender for the job, Melissa Hathaway, cybercoordination executive for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, announced her resignation Aug. 4.
Although some experts applaud Obama's concern for online national security, privacy advocates are wary of government invasion of personal privacy, and corporate leaders fear too much government intervention into their businesses.

Have to admit: I've been checking for No Surrender since they put out "Godda Get It" last year in advance of their album. Some of you also heard it on last summer's Boldaslove.us mixtape.
Now, I know they're released "Silver Hall" as the focus track, and I understand why: If I had TV On The Radio's Tunde Adebimpe singing on one of my tracks, I'd be releasing it, too. But, seriously, people, this track–this track right here!–is a STRAIGHT BANGER! What I love about it is, first, it just sounds EPIC. I'm walking down the street with this blastin' in my headphones and I'm like, "Yeah. A stadium rocker." And then it ends with the group's rapid-fire lyrical flow that stutters in and around the beats. This avant-rap joint has been on repeat since Monday.
Pretty much no contest or, as they say
It's No Surrender versus punks that never ever made it
Indeed. Give it up for No Surrender, then do yourself a favor and turn this up![audio:http://www.boldaslove.us/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Give-It-Up-21.mp3|titles=Give It Up-2]

We approach the UN Climate Change Conference, which will be held in Paris from 30 November to 11 December, where the business community will have the chance to show low-carbon leadership.
- Climate change is one of the greatest risks we face; tackling it is also one of our biggest economic opportunities. It is in the interest of the business community to take steps towards a low-carbon economy and to push policymakers to take further action, says Gunn Wærsted, Head of Wealth Management and Chairman of Nordea's CSR Committee.
In 2014 Nordea's total direct emissions were 45,462 metric tonnes of CO2. Nordea will become a carbon-neutral company by continuing to reduce own emissions, purchasing renewable energy and purchasing carbon offsets equal to the amount of CO2 emitted, which finance projects that reduce emissions.
As the leading financier in its home market, Nordea indirectly contributes to carbon emissions when financing companies with such emissions as part of their operations.
- We will of course discuss climate change and how it affects the strategies of our existing customers. We are keen to understand how they think and prepare for challenges and opportunities. We have decided not to start new customer relationships with companies primarily dependent on coal, says Gunn Wærsted.

When Paul Ryan and Joe Biden face off in tonight's vice presidential debate, both candidates will be subject to a level of scrutiny they've largely been able to sidestep so far on the trail. Ryan, the author of a controversial budget plan that would overhaul the tax code and Medicare, is likely to face some pointed questions on those ideas. But Mitt Romney's campaign insists it would not defer to Ryan's pre-existing policy proposals in a Romney-Ryan administration, and the two haven't always seen eye to eye on every issue. Below, CBSNews.com presents a few of the issues on which they diverge.
Mitt Romney's position on abortion has evolved significantly over time, but he currently opposes abortion with exceptions only for the victims of rape and incest and if the life of the mother is at risk. He has clarified, however, that he does not support exemptions for both "the health and life of the mother." Many abortion opponents, including Ryan, do not support such exception because they believe it creates a loophole, such as for a mental health exception.
Paul Ryan, meanwhile, has for years opposed all abortions except to save the life of the woman. He has not supported exemptions for rape and incest, but the Romney campaign has made clear that if elected, Ryan's views would be superseded by those of Romney on the matter.
Auto bailout
In 2008, Mitt Romney declared his opposition to the government bailout of the auto industry in a now-famous op-ed, entitled "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt." In that article, Romney argued that "if General Motors, Ford and Chrysler get the bailout that their chief executives asked for on Tuesday, you can kiss the American automotive industry goodbye." He argued that without the bailout, auto companies would be forced to dramatically restructure in a way that would benefit the industry, while writing them "a check" would allow them to stay the "the suicidal course of declining market shares, insurmountable labor and retiree burdens, technology atrophy, product inferiority and never-ending job losses."
Paul Ryan, on the other hand, supported the $14 billion measure - albeit, he says, grudgingly. In a statement made on the night he voted for the bill, Ryan cited the concerns about saving "jobs in Southern Wisconsin and the retiree commitments to workers that could be placed in jeopardy under certain bankruptcy scenarios," but urged Congress to "stop overselling what it can do." Later, he complained the bailout bill had not been implemented as he had expected, and that he was "deeply troubled" by the precedent it set for the future.
Capital gains tax cuts
In recent days, Romney has touted a plan that would eliminate taxes on interest, dividends, and capital gains for middle-income taxpayers, which he defines as those making $200,000 or less.
Ryan, meanwhile. has advocated a simple two-level revenue model, which would eliminate taxes on capital gains, as among other things. According to his 2013 budget, however, the tax reform mandate goes to the House Ways and Means Committee.
Romney supports reforming the current Medicare program to a "premium support" system, wherein the government offers a senior a predefined amount of money to spend in a health insurance exchange rather than paying directly for the benefits a senior uses. The campaign has said current seniors would not be impacted by the plan and that insurance plans would be required to offer coverage at least comparable to what Medicare currently provides. Additionally, it says, lower income seniors would receive more generous support while wealthier seniors would receive less support.
Ryan has also supported a premium support plan, which would give seniors vouchers to purchase either private insurance or traditional, government-run insurance on an exchange starting in 2023. Ryan's 2013 budget, which outlined this Medicare overhaul, caps federal spending increases on Medicare at half a percentage point higher than the growth rate of the economy, which means that theoretically, if health care costs rise faster than that, seniors would increasingly have to pay more out of pocket. Romney's Medicare platform, which is a relatively loose outline rather than a specific policy document, does not mention those caps. Moreover, Romney has said he would not include the $716 billion in cuts to Medicare featured in Ryan's budget, and that a Romney-Ryan administration would restore those caps.
Tax reform
Romney has proposed a slew of changes to the current tax system. He says he would eliminate taxes on dividends, interest, and capital gains for those making less than $200,000 per year. He would also permanently extend the Bush-era tax cuts, which lowered individual income tax rates and cut the child tax credit in half. Eliminate the estate tax and cutting the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent. Romney's tax plan also includes reducing income tax rates by 20 percent across-the-board, a figure which could significantly reduce the tax burden of middle-income Americans. But some experts are skeptical that Romney will be able to keep tax rates low for middle-income taxpayers without getting rid of loopholes like the mortgage tax deduction, a popular tax break for people in the middle class who own their own homes. Romney has consistently said he will not raise taxes on any Americans, but has declined to specify which loopholes and deductions he would get rid of in order to make his tax plan revenue neutral.
Ryan's tax plan, as outlined in his 2013 budget proposal, would also extend the 2001 and 2003 tax cuts enacted under President Bush, which are set to expire at the end of this year. It would enact another $4.5 trillion in cuts over the next decade, excluding the $5.4 trillion in revenue lost from permanently extending the Bush-era tax cuts.
As CBS News' Jill Schlesinger explained in August, the plan would eliminate the current six marginal tax rates and replace them with just two rates: 10 percent and 25 percent. Like Romney's plan, Ryan's would also repeal the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) and cut the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 25 percent, and eliminate the tax provisions of the 2010 health reform law.

Ed Hochuli might be getting a taste of NBA action in the near future.
The famously muscular NFL referee won't be trying his hand at officiating on the court, though, as it's his law degree that is connecting him to an NBA star.
Steve Nash has been going through some messy divorce proceedings for quite some time, but now, TMZ is reporting that his ex-wife Alejandra Amarilla Menrath has hired the law firm of Hochuli to represent her in the child custody hearings.
The two have been at war over where their kids should live — Phoenix or L.A. — and Menarth has called in the big guns, literally, to help her case.
Widely known for his job on the gridiron, Hochuli is also an attorney at the Phoenix law firm Jones, Skelton & Hochuli, P.L.C., but TMZ reports that Hochuli is not expected to personally handle the case.

From The Linux Foundation
Agenda for 2007/09/04
- Introductions if needed
- LF: Open A11y news - Janina
- Version 2 of text attributes
- Please review version 2 of the attribute spec. There may be some attributes that can be eliminated thus cutting down on the workload for implementers.
- The suggestions to date are:
- Remove line-height-at-least.
- Remove num-format, num-prefix, and num-suffix and replace with a new attribute named "prefix" where the value is the actual number (with any leading or trailing punctuation such as a trailing period and/or leading and/or trailing parens), or a bullet character, or the word "graphic".
- Addition of IAText::defaultAttributes - raised by Aaron
- The question is: For the next release of IA2 should IAText::attributes be deprecated in favor of IAText::defaultAttributes and IAText::changedAttributes?
- Aaron said he will talk to the ATVs. The use case for FF is a string of text with a link. In FF this will be a parent object with an embed character representing the link text and a child object holding the link text. The concept of default attributes could be helpful in this case, i.e. if the POR (Point of Regard) is in the link, a default attributes method could return the attributes of the parent affecting the child. However this could also be done by querying the parent object for the text attributes in effect at the point of the embed character. If this solution was acceptable the existing IA2 design would not have to be changed.
- Initial discussion with ATs: Repeat the text attributes repeated on every node, because that's what Notes 8 does. However, it turns out that there are bigger issues than that, in terms of how FF is different from Notes 8:
- Where focus is in an editable document
- FF uses embedded object chars and a containment hierarchy, so that to get text for a line you need recursion.
- Aaron will provide further status during the meeting.
- IA2 has text events for both updated and changed - raised by Aaron
- One of these is a duplicate. The Notes 8 team used UPDATED. BTW, Notes 8 only fires UPDATED. They do not ever fire INSERTED or REMOVED. JAWS doesn't use any of the text events and so the Notes 8 team only implemented the UPDATED event.
- FF will use note use UPDATED but when there is a modification/replace will instead generate both REMOVED and INSERTED events. This is to be compatible with Linux AT-SPI.
- Proposal is to document the following:
- Text deleted - fire REMOVED
- Text inserted - fire INSERTED
- Text replaced - fire REMOVED and INSERTED *or* UPDATED
- Unknown type of text change - fire UPDATED
- Is this acceptable?
- Inspect tool - Mike Squillace
- Firefox - Aaron Leventhal
No progress on the following
- IDL submission to BZR.
- There have been no changes since the March 26 version.
- Prior to publishing it on the main page the 3/26 version is available via bug 111.
- Eclipse - Barry Feigenbaum
- Check back in August
- Python wrappers
- Waiting for IBM legal approval to release as BSD.
- Documentation of memory management issues for [out] parameters - the following need to be understood and documented.
- Here is a rough first draft:
- BSTRs need to be SysFreeString'd at end of life; ditto for when they are in structs or arrays.
- COM interfaces need to be AddRef'd when used and Release'd at end of life.
- Single longs, HWNDs, booleans, and structs are allocated by the caller and passed by reference. The marshaller does all the memory management. (I don't believe there are any structs with BSTRs or interface pointers.)
- Arrays of longs - the server allocates the top level array and anything it points to; nothing needs to be free'd by the client. The marshalling code handles freeing anything on the client side.
- TBD: How are VARIANTs handled? Like interfaces? These methods return VARIANTs: IAHyperlink::anchor/anchorTarget, IAValue::current/maximum/minimumValue
- TBD: Are arrays of IUnknowns, e.g. IARelation::targets, correctly specified as **IUnknown?
- This Don Box article can be used for understanding: http://www.microsoft.com/msj/1196/activex1196.aspx
- Here is a rough first draft:
- Wikipedia
- Please contribute and/or review.
- Developer Guide
- Oleacc.idl
- No new status on when it will be back in the SDK.
- BZR patch submission process
- Enter defects into Bugzilla
Other Topics
- What else needs to be discussed?
- What IA2 information do you need?
- What IA2 issues need resolution soon? Target date?
- What would you like to see done?
- Others?

BOSTON (AP) — The annual Boston Pops Fourth of July concert and fireworks show has been moved up a day because of potential heavy rain ahead of Hurricane Arthur.
Organizers and public safety officials say the celebration is being rescheduled for Thursday, what appears to be the best of two potential bad weather days. Arthur is expected to pass well east of New England over the weekend.
State Police Col. Timothy Alben says security arrangements are ready to go since the public rehearsal would have been held Thursday night anyway. He says the performance could be cancelled Thursday if the weather isn't safe.
The performance takes place in the Hatch Shell along the Charles River Esplanade. Fireworks are set off from barges on the river. Thousands of people usually attend.

Will it be faster than what you have, probably a bit due to the CPU. The video card in it is slower than what you currently have. It is definitely not 500.00 faster. At best that Intel system might be worth about half that much.

Morning, We have several machines at work that came with 7 Pro keys that we'll never use. I've tried to use one on another PC and it won't activate for some reason. Is it possible that they'll only work on these laptops they were supplied with? Seems odd and I've never heard of this before.....

It was a family affair for the Osbournes this weekend as Sharon Osbourne joined her son Jack, his fiancee Lisa Stelly and their daughter Pearl on an outing in West Hollywood, California (June 3).
Looking every inch the hands-on dad, Jack manned the stroller and kept an eye on baby Pearl as the foursome hit the shops.
Jack and Lisa, who got engaged last fall, introduced their new daughter in the pages of Hello! magazine last month. The new dad revealed that he's already head-over-heels for her, saying, "People say when you have a kid it's like instant love, but unless you've experienced it, it's impossible to comprehend."

HP OpenVMS Systemsask the wizard
The Question is:
I have an Alpha 1000 with a DEC TLZ09 tape drive. Are DDS-3 and DDS-4 tapes compatible with this drive?
The Answer is :
You will want to use the supported DDS level cartridges, or less. The tape drive will automatically detect and write the highest DDS-level density that is supported by the media in use. You will want to use DDS-2 or DDS-1, in the case of the TLZ09. For instance, a TLZ09 should be able to read a DDS-2 cartridge that was written by a TLZ10. You will not want to use higher level DDS standards or media that is longer than is supported by the particular drive.

Hello, after reading the thread on "Typed hstore proposal", I wonder if another minded extension of hstore would be benefical: add additional hstore types with numerical data type for the values. e.g.: hstore_float : text -> float This should allow to add some nice aggregation function on these hstore, e.g. select distinct_sum(x) from ( a -> 1 b -> 5 a -> 3 c -> 2 ) => a -> 4 b -> 5 c -> 2 I have a small case where I'm doing this with a custom type (text, float) , but with poor performances. I guess that such an extension would make sense if it were to bring a significant performance gain compared to the custom type approach. best regards and Merry Christmas, Marc Mamin

Teton Co. wants funds for school copsOct 31, 2013 The Associated Press
JACKSON -- Teton County school officials are expressing support for funding from Wyoming lawmakers for school resource officers.
Teton County school trustees approved a resolution that asks the Wyoming School Boards Association to back legislation for funding.
Currently, the state doesn't provide schools with funding for safety and security personnel.
The Teton County school district spends $90,000 annually on two school resource officers, one who is a Jackson police officer and another who is a deputy with the sheriff's office. They're stationed at various schools in the district.

All those little new things are so much fun to watch Heather! Sounds like she has a sense of humor already.
Imke, sorry about the bike. You ride to work often don't you? Then you would definitely need a reliable bike.
Angela, I do like that card candy, it's fun to use and so light weight. I just put a big drop of liquid glue (either the tombow or crystal effects works pretty well for me) under the candy and stick it on. Can't wait to see Ivy's tree!
Some friends of ours are celebrating Diwali this week (an Indian holiday). I wanted to make them a card, but couldn't find a sentiment for it. I emailed Paulette at Create with TLC and asked if she had anything like that, I could't find a set in her store. She was so nice, she offered to make a set and had it up in the store in no time. I just thought that was so nice!
I'm in the process of finishing my scrap pages, I got the new photos and have been cutting them. My goal is to get them in the mail before Thanksgiving.
I'm going away this weekend for a girl's weekend to Senaca Lake, they have a wine and food tour where you collect ornaments and make a wreath as you go to each winery. We've never been, so I'm looking forward to it. But I'm kind of stressed, I'm still behind on everything around here from the storm. I guess everything will get done eventually!
Hope you feel better Lynne, that stinks that you have a long car trip and are sick.
Pat, don't forget the photos of your granddaughter, I would love to see how she looked in her dress!
Have a great night everyone.

The news that three-time major champion Vijay Singh has admitted to using deer-antler spray, which contains IGF-1, a performance-enhancing substance banned by the World Anti Doping Agency and the PGA Tour, has, understandably, become a huge story. Aside from the question of what the PGA Tour plans to do about Singh's violation of its rules – if it intends to do anything at all – his admission opens up a subject that is rarely discussed. That's the degree to which PGA Tour players (indeed, athletes generally) will believe claims that have no basis in science.
David Epstein and George Dohrmann broke the story in the Feb. 4 issue of Sports Illustrated . Singh told them that he paid $9,000 to S.W.A.T.S. – Sports with Alternatives to Steroids – the two-man company that provided him the spray. His payment covered not only the spray, which he told the writers he "uses every couple of hours…every day," but other materials.
The materials include light beams and hologram chips. Epstein and Dohrmann wrote that Singh "sleeps with the beam ray on and has put chips on his ankles, waist and shoulders." He told them, "I'm looking forward to some change in my body. It's really hard to feel the difference if you're only doing it for a couple of months."
Singh issued a statement on Wednesday that he did not know that deer-antler spray contained IGF-1, a human growth hormone that every major pro sport prohibits. He effectively pleaded ignorance, which is no excuse under the PGA Tour doping rules. Singh withdrew Thursday morning from the Waste Management Phoenix Open, citing "back soreness."
Epstein and Dohrmann write that deer IGF-1 "may not even work in humans." Christopher Key, one of the two principals in S.W.A.T.S., said of the company's products, "We don't have to prove that this is real or not. What we're looking for is for [science] to prove that it is not real." (With this approach to science in ascendance, are we in for a return to bloodletting and trepanation – drilling a hole in one's head to alleviate seizures and migraines?) Maybe S.W.A.T.S should be an acronym for Sports with an Alternative to Science.
Golfers are no different than other pro athletes. They want to gain an edge. Does that include taking performance-enhancing drugs? In Singh's case, anyway, it does, whether or not he knew it. He should have known. It is the player's responsibility to know what he is putting into his body, and the PGA Tour had notified players that IGF-1 is banned. Meanwhile, the PGA Tour, the United States Golf Association, and the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrews want to believe that the sport doesn't have a doping problem. Karen Crouse in today's New York Times does an excellent job of looking at this.
Whether or not the PGA Tour, or the European Tour for that matter, has a doping problem, it's clear that pro golfers are no less credulous than other athletes. They want to heal injuries and recover from illnesses. In desperate circumstances, they might look for cures that defy scientific study. Critical thinking is not necessarily a hallmark of their approach. They prefer anecdotal evidence to scientific evidence and are prone to ignoring evidence-based science, in particular, evidence-based medicine. A variety of players, including Fuzzy Zoeller, Fred Funk and Bernhard Langer, provide testimonials for the S.W.A.T.S chip here . They believe it eased their aches and pains.
As the SI writers point out, there's no end to products that athletes can try. The field of sports supplements, they write, "is rife with dubious product claims because it is lightly regulated in the U.S." They write about Power Balance, a company that between 2007 and 2010 sold "millions of silicone bracelets bearing frequency-programmed holographic stickers that were said to offer 'up to a 500 per cent increase in strength, balance and flexibility." They write that a variety of lawsuits about false scientific claims led Power Balance's Australian and American divisions to file for bankruptcy in 2011, when a Chinese creditor bought the company.
Power Balance, based in Lake Forest, Calif., continues to operate. Keegan Bradley, the 2011 PGA Championship winner who is ranked 13th in the world, endorses the product and is featured on the website . Stacy Lewis, the 2012 LPGA Tour player of the year and the third-ranked woman in the world, is also featured. Ricky Barnes, the 2002 U.S. Amateur champion and a winner of one PGA Tour event, is featured. Prominent athletes from many other pro sports also endorse the Power Balance bracelet. A Golf Digest promotion called Golfers Who Give Back that is on the website is organized such that a donation of $15 to The First Tee program is included in the $29.95 cost of the wristband.
Maybe because I attended last week's PGA Merchandise Show in Orlando where there was no end of snake oil (didn't spot the deer-antler spray) on offer to supposedly help golfers improve, I ran out to buy the current issue of Skeptic Magazine. It makes for fascinating reading, as does every issue of this and Skeptical Inquirer, magazines that focus on science, not anecdote or wishful thinking. Athletes who endorse sketchy products might want to examine these journals before they start using or flogging hologram chips, bracelets, light beams, "negatively-charged" water, or antler juice.
As it happens, Skeptical Inquirer published a study in its January/February 2012 issue to determine whether Power Balance bracelets helped improve strength, flexibility and balance as advertised. The conclusion? "Although the bracelet might have some value as a sort of rabbit's foot meant to boost one's confidence, Power Balance bracelets are a bust as a boon to one's athletic prowess."
It's not surprising that golfers are so credulous when it comes to whatever they think might help them. Golf is a tough and individual game that tests a player's mettle at every tournament. The PGA Tour week after week provides a forum for all manner of advice from a startling array of hucksters, and lots of players fall for their pitches. I'll never forget seeing a fellow wearing a badge saying he was a sports psychologist. I asked him about a concept based on the work of the famous psychologist B.F. Skinner. He had no idea about Skinner, which would be akin to a swing coach not knowing about Ben Hogan.
Singh's admission that he has used a prohibited substance has opened a window on how fragile and vulnerable many tour golfers are. Whether or not other golfers use banned substances, many choose to pay little attention to any science that's not swing science. They believe, and that's science enough for them.

With most spirits, each has its own sordid past of shame, public indecency and moral corruption. But as the new world evolved so did our spirits, they moved from the back alleys, bath tub joints and boot legging hideouts to state of the art distilleries. While the spirits evolved some of the old impressions of yesteryear still lingered in the minds of the drinker. Rum is no exception to these historical indifferences with sordid tales of rum runners, pirates, and the slave trade while modern tales of teenage angst, late night binges in the headlights of a Camino by the local waterhole still sear in peoples memories. But rum's image is getting a huge transformation in the form of beautifully balanced, crisp blancos and rich, creamy anejos. Very quickly more and more examples of the Caribbean's finest export are making their way into the bar and onto the hippest bars cocktail lists.
Rum is becoming more popular within the bartending community because of its amazing versatility. What other spirit can be gentle sweet white rum to thick, smoky dark rum with everything in between. Rum is distilled from molasses, which is derived from sugar cane; sugar cane was originally from the Canary Islands, but was introduced to the West Indies by Christopher Columbus. The word rum is believed to come from a number of sources, two of which are rumbustion meaning uproar & rumbullion meaning rumpus (probably from what happens when rum was consumed). The other, is Latin for sugar, saccharum. Whatever the meaning of the name, the word rum has been dotted throughout history that many other spirits cannot contest to.
It is thought that the first spirit distilled in the US was in fact rum, distilled in Boston from molasses imported from the West Indies. Rum can be distilled anywhere where sugar cane is readily available. By the mid eighteenth century, there were nearly one hundred distilleries dotted throughout the Caribbean, each producing their own style of rum. Each country has a distinctively different style of rum making, from the smooth "single barrel" styles of Nicaragua, to the smoky styles of Jamaica. With white, dry rums to 12 year old full bodied sippers, the list is endless.
When you think of classic Caribbean cocktails you start thinking about Daiquiris, Mojitos and Batidas. They all use rum as their main component; they are refreshing, cool and the hippest thing to drink at the trendiest bars. But rum has more versatility than just the classics; white rum can replace vodka in cocktails while darker rums can replace scotch and whiskies. Your creative abilities are endless and people are starting to realize this as well, Vinnie Jones and his Bacardi Mojito ads had a huge hand in the push for rum drinking.
Mixologists are now getting on the rum band wagon as well. Chris Guthrie from Elysium in Brisbane, Australia says "I love rum, it is easily my favorite spirit, so many different styles and tastes make rum the most versatile spirit in my opinion, from a light white Cuban style rum in a mojito to a heavier aged rum from Jamaica in a treacle or Mai Tai. Rum is definitely the king of spirits, so much history as well."
Rum is now making a significant impression on mixology throughout the funkiest bars. Next time you're in that funky little hot spot, ask for a aged rum on the rocks or a mojito and join the latest trend in spirits.
