MBA student association kicks off
Lake Erie College welcomes its first graduate student organization with the formation of the Lake Erie College MBA Student Association. The purpose of this group is to enhance the student's MBA experience through networking opportunities.
Results of a survey conducted at the end of the Fall 2007 semester indicated that Lake Erie College MBA students have a strong desire to know their classmates for multiple reasons. Many cited the need for study groups, others are interested in discussing contemporary business books with their peers and still others simply want to broaden their networking contacts.
Faculty advisors for the group are Dr. Mary K. McManamon and Dr. Marie Francosky, both department of management studies professors for the college. All Lake Erie College MBA Students are encouraged to participate in the group to supplement in-class learning with real-world experiences so that the student will further the chance of success in his or her post-graduate endeavors.
Robert Trebar, dean of management studies and instructor of business administration, recommends all Lake Erie College MBA students participate in the association. "I strongly believe that the MBA Student Association can be a wonderful asset in "rounding out" your MBA experience at Lake Erie College," he said. "The relationship you develop, contacts you make and perspectives you gain from your colleagues will not only enrich your education, but will be valuable career and personal resources that will endure well beyond your graduation date."
Initially, meetings will be held monthly at the Panera Bread on
The student association is currently requesting volunteers to help publish the newsletter and to drive the direction and purpose of the group. Contact Mike Andreas at email@example.com for dates and times of upcoming events or to have your name added to the e-mail distribution list.

Promax - LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge - 2.36 oz. (67 g)
Promax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge contains 40% less sugar than leading regular energy bars. Promax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge is naturally sweetened with stevia. Promax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge is great as an on-the-go snack. Proomax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge can aid when working out.
Promax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge Highlights:
Promax LS Low Sugar Energy Bar Chocolate Fudge FAQ's
What makes Promax LS bars unique?Unlike some other lower sugar protein bars that use maltitol (a sugar alcohol that can upset your stomach), artificial sweeteners (like sucralose), and incomplete proteins from animal bi-products (like gelatin), Promax LS provides a more natural lower sugar protein bar.
Promax LS has 18 grams of complete, high quality protein, only 9 grams of sugar, is an excellent source of fiber, and contains stevia, an all natural non-nutritive sweetener. Promax LS is also gluten free, vegetarian, and contains no artificial sweeteners or animal bi-products.
What is stevia?Stevia is a plant (specifically, a member of the chrysanthemum family) native to portions of northeastern Paraguay. Its leaves contain glycosides which account for its incredible sweetness, and have been used to sweeten foods and beverages for more than 200 years.
Stevia is used in Promax LS as a natural non-nutritive sweetener to make the bar taste great while containing only 9 grams of sugar. It is a natural alternative to artificial sweeteners like sucralose, saccharin, and aspartame.
What is soluble corn fiber?The soluble corn fiber used in Promax LS is well tolerated, has a low glycemic response, and is used to replace sweeteners such as corn syrup or sugar, with only half of the calories.
Soluble corn fiber is also an excellent source of dietary fiber and offers the health benefit of being prebiotic. A prebiotic feeds and stimulates the growth and metabolism of good bacteria aiding digestion and supporting the body's immune system.
Why do the ingredients matter?PromaxLS (lower sugar bar) ingredients were selected to work in conjunction with one another. While together they elicit a low glycemic response, there are sufficient carbohydrates to help transport the proteins into the body's cells.
The fiber complements the reduced sugar and a significant amount of protein to help produce lasting satiety. Soluble corn fiber has been shown to be well tolerated in the body.

Reading Bluetooth device address returns zero (Known Issue)

Trying to retrieve a Bluetooth Device Address returns zero (or NULL) if Bluetooth has never been used. This is apparent when using the *#2820# code, which will result in Bluetooth device address: without any value at all.
Also, the following code:
TBuf<20> bluetoothAddress;
TPckgBuf<TBTDevAddr> aDevAddrPckg;
KPropertyKeyBluetoothGetLocalDeviceAddress, aDevAddrPckg);
aDevAddrPckg().GetReadable(bluetoothAddress, KNullDesC, KNullDesC, KNullDesC);
will return 000000000000 as bluetoothAddress.
This can be problematic if using Bluetooth address for identifying a device.
If the returned value is zero, Bluetooth needs to be turned on at least once. After this, the value can be received, and it also persists when phone is turned off.

Stepping inside the office of The American Reader, a monthly literary journal, is like a voyage back into 1950 – an old record player on the floor, candles on the mantle, books stacked high in the corners. Levo visited with three young women behind the publication, including co-founder Uzoamaka Maduka, (while sitting on plush velvet couches) whose personal styles clearly reflect the journal's classically modern sentiment. The three Princeton graduates spoke to Levo about having a vision and launching a publication dedicated to reestablishing the role of literature in the conversations of Generation Y.
Names and Job Titles: Uzoamaka Maduka (aka Max), Editor-in-Chief and Co-Founder; Alyssa Loh, Digital Editor; Arielle Patrick, Director of Publicity.
Degrees at Princeton: (UM) B.A. in Religion, Certificate of Proficiency in Visual Arts (Filmmaking); (AL) BA in English Literature, Certificate in Creative Writing; (AP) Department of Classics (Ancient Greek and Latin Literature and Language).
Brief Overview of The American Reader: The American Reader is a monthly journal of fiction, poetry, translation, and criticism directed towards readers aged 22-35. TAR is dedicated to reestablishing the role of literary discourse in the conversations of members of Generation Y.
How did the three of you originally connect and launch The American Reader? (UM): The project arose from a conversation between Jac Mullen (the Executive Editor and Co-Founder) and me. As for us three: I was close with Arielle at college, and we stayed in touch after I graduated. I knew she would be a perfect communicator of the Reader's mission. Alyssa and I met briefly in a creative writing atelier when she was a freshman and I was a senior. I was impressed by her then, and she impressed me again when we got together for tea years later in the West Village. The rest is history.
The American Reader "aims to fill a void in Gen Y's cultural landscape." Explain the void that was detected and how TAR is fulfilling it:
Often when people speak about a supposed decline in literariness among younger generations, people will say that young readers lack an attention span or that young writers lack talent. We're trying something else, something that has a little more faith in our generation: we're taking a closer look at the the editorial and publishing industry that links author to reader. We're trying to figure out what our generation needs, and to help literature find a place again in daily culture.
The American Reader is available both in print and digital – do you think Gen Y is reverting to printed publications? We don't believe our generation ever abandoned print. Instead, the content of certain print publications seemed to reflect the sensibilities of an older generation. Our generation is ambidextrous in terms of media. We can use everything—what is more, we like using everything.
Your office style in a few words:
UM: Dilapidated frat bro + turban.
AL: Comfortable but presentable – I once had to attend a last minute meeting in Converse (never again).
AP: Milly. Ralph Lauren. Maggy Frances (designer of Arielle's plaid skirt, camel blazer, and dress in the below photos).
Style icons:
UM: Katharine Hepburn, Audrey Hepburn, Louise Bourgeois, and Sophia Loren.
AL: Kristen Stewart. I'd live in a leather jacket if I could.
AP: My mom.
Staple pieces to splurge on:
UM: Coats and evening-wear.
AL: Soft sweaters and motorcycle boots.
AP: Invest in good purses, shoes, belts and jewelry. The rest can be from H&M.
Typical workday at TAR: Meetings, correspondence, and administrative duties during the day interrupted by food deliveries. Brief dinner uptown. Then editing at a cafe downtown (for a change of scenery).
Most used office gadget:
UM: Muji planner.
AL: Microwave.
AP: Stress ball.
Office décor: Books, mess, and Mid-Century modern.
E-mail or snail mail? E-mail at the pace of; and with the consideration of—snail mail.
Work out regimen:
UM: Cycling along the Hudson in spring, summer, and fall. In the winter, I expand.
AL: I live in a four-story walk up. Does that count?
AP: I try to walk everywhere, avoiding cabs or the subway.
Day at The Met or day at the spa? The Met. (Unanimously).
Favorite bookstore: McNally Jackson in Soho.
Recommended book/literary piece for Gen Y women:
UM: Edna St. Vincent Millay's poetry; The Black Swan by Thomas Mann.
AL: A 1981 anthology titled "This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Color," edited by Cheríe Moraga.
AP: On Beauty by Zadie Smith.
In 10 years…:
UM: I'm always the last to know.
AL: Writing fiction and non-fiction, maybe, but I've finally stopped trying to guess.
AP: Hopefully running my own corporate and public affairs-focused PR firm.
Words of wisdom for young women professionals:
UM: Speak if you have something to say, zip it if you have something to learn!
AL: It can be daunting to walk into a room—of industry colleagues or anyone else—when you don't recognize yourself in any of the people present. But you can make space. Things change.
AP: Show up early, leave late.

I took this idea and created a chocolate chip cookie with vanilla frozen yogurt version. It's delicious. You really could use this idea for any combination you like with different cookies and different flavor fillings. I love the idea of pumpkin pie ice cream with ginger snap cookies!

These are really good. I could not find a "chocolate wafer" type of cookie at my store so I substituted chocolate graham crackers. I will be making these again. Simple and fast.

PEORIA Ill -- Tuesday, Peoria's homicide count rose to five with three of them happening back to back earlier this week.
With the increasing violence on the streets, one local program is looking to change these negative perspectives for teens, starting at an early age.
"We have got to do our job, said ELITE program founder," Carl Cannon." Keep those that are not in the mix, out of the mix. Give those who are considering that negative mix, a reason to stay away from it."
The Peoria Park District held its Elite program retreat Friday afternoon, and for this chunk of Peoria's youth, they sounded like a well oiled machine.
Dozens of students from six different area High Schools attended the retreat, marking the 8th week of their 12-week ELITE program.
"I've changed throughout time, and I've seen my friends change and become newer than what they were," said Richwoods sophomore, Tyriona Walker. "It's very helpful, so we probably might be somewhere in 5 years."
Cannon said the ultimate goal of the program is to prepare the youth for their future and get them jobs once they graduate the program.
In Friday's retreat, students were put into different color groups based on their personality.
Students were then asked to work with different colors to complete different tasks.
While the ELITE program covers only six schools in the area right now, District 150 Superintendent, Dr. Grenita Lathan said they are looking to expand the program this fall.
"In society there is so many negative things trying to pull young people," said Lathan. "There will always be a need for ELITE and a program of this nature."
Students in the program will graduate next month.
They will then be eligible to mentor in the program.

TORONTO (AP) - Adam Lind had three hits and three RBIs, J.A. Happ pitched a season-high 7 2-3 innings and the Toronto Blue Jays beat the Chicago White Sox 7-0 Thursday night.
Jose Reyes had four hits and scored twice as the AL East-leading Blue Jays handed the struggling White Sox their seventh loss in eight games. Chicago lost for the 10th time in 11 road games.
Happ (7-4) allowed four hits to win for the third time in five starts. The left-hander walked two and struck out a season-high eight.
Starting for the first time since May 19, White Sox right-hander Scott Carroll (2-4) allowed five runs and nine hits in five innings. Carroll, who walked two and struck out four, returned to the rotation in place of Andre Rienzo, who was moved to the bullpen.

Do opening pages depend so much on browser's speed? As I know web surfing mostly depends from web server and Internet connection. Yes, when you're starting a session with Google Chrome it opens much faster than Firefox, but in further surfing there is no big difference. Of course, I f you have many Firefox add-ons it will open new tabs a little bit slower than Chrome, but if you start Firefox in the safe mode (click start menu, choose "run" and type "firefox.exe -safe-mode") it will start session as fast as Chrome and will open tabs as fast as Chrome.
In safe mode Firefox is add-ons empty, just like Google's Chrome. So, it's user's choice, do you use Mozilla Firefox's extensions or not?
Many will be misguided with Chrome's prompt opening session, but Google will not, at least in eye reach time, keep up all the quality that Mozilla Firefox is providing to its users, because Firefox is open source and there are all kind of plugins and ad-ons provided by users and developers…I just cannot see Google reaching this kind of utilities.
On the other hand we have to be aware there are so many people using Internet just to open email account and to watch YouTube clips. They are Google Chrome's target market – opening emails, watching clips and clicking on the Google's ads. I do not have nothing against their earnings or against anyone else earning money, but if you're on the Internet more than just to read emails than consider adding Firefox add–ons suitable for you among other Internet productivities.
I'm big fun of Google, just imagine how deserted will Internet be without all Google's useful tools, but I see this Google move into browsing market with Chrome, they're just bringing in confusion. If they wanted to contribute to market they could continue developing web accelerator for Firefox (Google extension available for Firefox under version 3), but since Mozilla built Firefox 3, they stopped contributing extension, reason is obvious.
You can download the latest version (3.1), still in beta, so do not expect all add-ons to work.
UPDATE: I use Chrome more than Firefox lately but it's probably for another post.

Lou Grassi...
Lou Grassi is internationally known for his work in both the traditional and the avant-garde jazz worlds. Born in 1947 in Summit, NJ, Lou began drumming at age 15. For 35 years he has spanned the jazz spectrum from Ragtime (including several US tours with the pianist Max Morath from 1985-87) to Free Improvisation (with the Lou Grassi PoBand), as well as working for several decades in musical theater and composing for and accompanying modern dance groups. Lou draws on the wealth of this experience to fuel his creative fires.
During his military service, Lou attended the Navy School of Music, Norfolk, VA, and served in the 328th US Army Band until his discharge in 1968. While he was in the Army Band, Lou began to experiment with free improvisation. In the early 1970s, he was able to develop this aspect of his music fully while working in several mixed-media projects, including the Innermost Society, a blending of music, dance, poetry, and visual arts. His bandmates in this ensemble were Sheila Jordan and Jimmy Garrison.
Lou earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in music from Jersey City State College where he studied percussion with Nick Cerrato. He has also studied drums with Tony Inzalaco, Sam Ulano, and Beaver Harris, who became his mentor. In 1974, Lou was awarded a National Endowment of the Arts Fellowship for his studies with Harris. Lou also studied arranging and musicianship with Marshall Brown.
From the 1970s to the present, Lou has performed with a great variety of outstanding artists, including Borah Bergman, Eddie Bonnemere, Karen Borca, Rob Brown, Roy Campbell, Rio Clemente, The Copascetics, Dardanelle, Eddy Davis, L.D. Frazier, Yuko Fujiyama, James Garrison, Charles Gayle, Vinny Golia, Burton Greene, Urbie Green, Gunter Hampel, Johnny Hartman, Pucci Amanda Jhones, Phillip Johnston, Chris Jonas, Sheila Jordan, Janet Lawson, William Parker, Bu Pleasant, Perry Robinson, Roswell Rudd, Ken Simon, Paul Smoker, Steve Swell, Sol Yaged, Mark Whitecage, and many others. The Reverend John Garcia Gensel, who Duke Ellington described as "the minister of the night flock," relied on Lou's versatility for more than a decade during the 1980s and early '90s as house drummer at New York's St. Peter's Church for many special events, including All Night Soul and Eubie Blake's 100th birthday celebration.
From the late 1970s until the early 1990s Lou was virtually absent from the avant-garde scene except for annual concerts with former Albert Ayler bassist Steve Tintweiss and two albums with vocalist Amy Scheffer. In 1984, Lou toured US military installations throughout Central America under the auspices of the Department of Defense. That year he also organized the Dixie Peppers, a sextet specializing in traditional Dixieland and Swing repertoire. Since 1980, Lou has led the Lou Grassi Quintet, featuring original arrangements of stylistically diverse music reflecting more than 60 years of the jazz tradition. In 1989, while playing Dixieland festivals and clubs throughout East Germany, West Germany, Switzerland, and Holland with the Warren Vache Sr. Syncopatin' Seven, Lou met the improvising keyboardist Andreas Böttcher in Dresden. Six months later, the Berlin Wall fell, clearing the way for a collaboration of the two that has produced two albums and annual tours of Germany since 1992.
In 1994, the Improvisor's Collective, a group of progressive New York-based musicians, was organized and enabled Lou to re-emerge fully into the avant-garde scene. Lou's 1995 concert for the collective was recorded and subsequently released as PoGressions (Cadence Jazz Records 1062), receiving critical accolades worldwide. This and subsequent recordings have firmly established Lou's place as one of the most versatile, original, and creative drummers working in this idiom.

The SMFG ensemble achieves a fine balance between structure and free-style improvisation. In quiet passagesand there are manyyou can hear the low overtones of Lou Grassis flat ride cymbal. When he lands a rimshot on his first tom, it jumps out with a boing. Recording this way allows the musicians to control what we hear, as in the balance between Grassis martial snare and the agile horn lines in "Up In Evans Room." - MD

Browns games will not be on WTAM Radio anymore. We spoke to local sports fans to get their reaction to the change.
For years Ohio sports fans could count on hearing Browns games on WTAM which carried all of their games.
Starting this fall, the games will be on 92.3 The Fan, ESPN 850 and 98.5 FM.
One Clevelander had this to say, "As long as they keep the same announcers. I like the announcers that they have. If they go with that, I'm O.K. with it."
They are keeping the same broadcast team but there are some concerns about the strength of the new stations' signals and the fact they are not as strong as WTAM's. Which means it might be a little tougher for fans in some places to tune in.
"Their signals are so bad. We're a 50,000 watt station. It's another sign of Larry, Curly and Mo out there in Berea operating the Cleveland Browns and going to minor league radio stations. God bless them," said Radio Personality Mike Trivisonno.
But many Browns fans we spoke with are not concerned and are not listening to the games on WTAM.
"I really don't anymore. Ever since I bought a GM car, I switched to Sirius, so I listen to all the NBA games on there, the NFL games on there. So I really don't listen to local stations that much," said another Browns fan.
And at least one fan is already listening to 92.3 The Fan.
"So you're not going to be disappointed that it's on 92.3 then?" asked 19 Action News Reporter George Smith.
"No. I'm not. I'll figure it out and if not I'll get it on my Android."
In fact a lot of fans told us, they're getting games on satellite radio or mobile devices now. So this change won't affect them.
In one of the most expansive radio rights deals in the NFL, the Browns announced a long-term partnership with two local all-sports stations, CBS RADIO's 92.3 The Fan (WKRK-FM) and ESPN 850 WKNR, to broadcast all Browns games. CBS RADIO's WNCX (98.5 FM) will also carry live game action beginning in 2013, as the team will now have a triple cast of games in the local market.
This partnership will directly benefit Browns fans, with a significant enhancement of quality team programming as well as more access to the organization. In addition, the partnership will increase the community outreach and further connect these stations and the Browns to the community through joint philanthropic endeavors, including an annual Radiothon.
In addition to the broadcast of Browns games, 92.3 The Fan and ESPN 850 WKNR also will air extensive pre- and post-game programming. This includes a four-hour pre-game show on ESPN 850 WKNR and a two-hour post-game show on 92.3 The Fan. Both stations will provide extensive coverage of the 2013 NFL Draft, which will be held Thursday, April 25 through Saturday, April 27.
Long-time voices of the Browns, Jim Donovan (play-by-play) and Doug Dieken (analyst) will continue to serve in their current roles. In addition, Jamir Howerton will once again file reports from the Browns sideline.
"We are truly excited to partner with two companies that are so dedicated to Cleveland sports," said Browns CEO Joe Banner. "This setup ensures that our fans will continue to have easy and frequent access to our game broadcasts as well as extensive shoulder programming. Both ESPN 850 WKNR and 92.3 The Fan are committed to all-sports formats, and we are thrilled that the Browns will be a major part of their lineups on a year-round basis."
"This model is one of the most expansive and innovative radio rights deals in the NFL and our fans will benefit the most," added Browns President Alec Scheiner. "Not only do we want to greatly enhance the game day experience for our fans at the stadium, but we also want to give everyone who tunes in to our game broadcasts as many options as possible. We have heard from our fans how much they enjoy listening to Jim and Doug bring them all of the game action each week, and we are ecstatic that they will continue to be the 'voices' of the Browns."
"We couldn't be happier that 92.3 The Fan and 98.5, WNCX will help bring the excitement of Cleveland Browns football to fans across Northeast Ohio for many years to come," said CBS RADIO Cleveland Senior Vice President and Market Manager Tom Herschel. "92.3 The Fan is committed to delivering the highest quality programming and putting fans in the center of the action both on and off the field. Our stations are looking forward to carrying on that tradition with the Cleveland Browns."
"The Cleveland Browns are at the core of the passion of the Cleveland sports fan, so this partnership will provide official Browns programming and live play by play that our fans crave," said Good Karma Broadcasting Founder and CEO, Craig Karmazin. "We are elated to partner with the Browns and CBS RADIO to give fans unparalleled access, entertainment and information at a time when interest in the NFL and the Cleveland Browns has never been higher."
Both 92.3 The Fan and ESPN 850 WKNR, which are joining the PNC Bank Cleveland Browns Radio Network, will carry a multitude of Browns programming elements and content throughout the year. This includes a weekly coach's show which will air on both stations, in addition to a weekly preview show that will be carried on ESPN 850 WKNR. "Cleveland Browns Daily," which is hosted by Vic Carucci and airs on ESPN 850 WKNR Monday through Friday from 6:00 – 7:00 p.m., will be expanding to a two-hour format at a time that will be announced in the near future. In all, there is expected to be more than 1,000 hours of Browns-related shows between the two stations on an annual basis. This total is more than double the amount that currently exists.
Additionally, there will be expanded Browns digital offerings on both station web sites, as well as a 24-hour dedicated Browns HD multicast radio station on 92.3 The Fan. More programming elements will be announced in the near future.

Our Monthly NewsletterView a Sample Issue
In most Cabernet issues, the pages are brimming with wines reaching out to our pocketbooks because they are so good we just have to have them. Such is not exactly the case here. After all, we are dealing mostly with the wines of 2011 and the vintage is now well-known for what it has not delivered. The late-arriving 2010s are, for the most part, the leftovers and left behinds, and if that is a bit of an exaggeration, so too are the reports of disaster in 2011. For sure, the rate of success is not as high as in better vintages, but there are many, many fine wines, and we went in search of answers as to why. The full Cabernet essay speaks to reasons why there are some quite exceptional wines from what is admittedly a less than stellar vintage.
There are times when we are tempted to pigeon-hole Sauvignon Blanc as a niche grape sort of like Gewurztraminer and Petite Sirah. But, it is more than that, and its status as the number two white in California continues without letup. Being number two is OK in our books.
This grape of the two names seems never to excite. It just earns its way be making pleasant, easy-to-like wines at reasonable prices. A Mercedes it is not, but then, neither is a Prius, and both have their places.
Turn your attention here for GOOD VALUE recommendations in Chardonnay, Syrah and Rosé. Yes, Rosé! Because a well-chilled, well-fruited pink wine will be just what the doctor ordered during the dog days of summer sipping.

The Kapa Illumina library quantification kit is easy to use and allows all types of Illumina libraries to be quantified quickly.
The kit contains a primer premix that is directly added to the 2x Kapa SYBR Fast qPCR Master Mix before use. Having the master mix already prepared helps to dramatically reduce the time spent setting up each qPCR plate. The kit also contain 6 DNA standards which allow quantification of library dilutions up to a concentration of 20 pM.
This kit has greatly helped us to create reproducible cluster numbers on each Illumina NGS run and platform used and is a real necessity for anyone quantifying Illumina libraries.

Backpacker Magazine – August 2011
Triple-digit temps by noon. Freezing at night. Scarce water. The desert is as dangerous for unprepared hikers. Give yourself an edge and learn to survive this hostile territory while backpacking.
Thanks Backpacker, for showing us how to stay found and improve our chances of survival. Learn how to stay found by paying attention to your surroundings and using a compass. Read "Felix the Sugar Glider Be Safe Hike Smart" (Amazon). Remember to calibrate your compass to the declination at your camp site or hiking trail (http://magnetic-declination.com). A compass doesn't need satellites, a signal, or batteries and works in all types of weather, day or night, but you need to know how to use it and this book makes learning how to use a compass easy. Learn how to orient yourself using a compass, a compass and a map, no compass and a map, no compass and no map. The ability to know your way and know where you are is something we all need in any survival situation not just while hiking and camping. Learn what to pack for a day-hike, trail ethics, what to do if you get lost, how to get rescued, and survival packing (for the car and for the trail) just in case your camping trip extends into more nights than you planned on. Buy it on Amazon, "Felix the Sugar Glider Be Safe Hike Smart".
I went hiking in Joshua Tree National Park, California. Joshua Tree is one of my favorite places to hike during winter months, but this time I ended up going later, in fact, a little too later as the temperatures were �hot.�
I wanted badly to hike to the summit of Pinto Mountain. I didn�t make it. I have pictures, though, of the summit as I made it to the base of the peak.
The hike was brutal for me. My feet were swollen, blistered with my toenails discolored from all the trauma they sustained from the hike.
I wrapped my feet in moleskin to do get around afterwards, and later to do a hike of Ryan Mountain.
Following the Ryan Mountain hike I took off my shoes to see that my feet were swollen backed to the bloated look they were after the Pinto Mountain Peak hike.
The Pinto Mountain Summit hike was supposed to be an 11 mile loop hike up and over the peak. Due to a mistake in my orienteering, the hike turned out to be 18.5 miles according to my GPS tracking system of ground covered. It was 18.5 mountainous and canyon backcountry rugged wilderness miles over sand, rocks, then bigger rocks and finally boulders.
The reason for the extra 7.5 miles is because I took the wrong canyon wash ending up a distance from the point I needed to be to scale the summit.
When I arrived below the summit it was around noon. Although the summit was only .3 tenths miles further up, it was about at a 35 degree angle over rocks and mountain scree. I figured that time no longer was on my side for me to reach the summit in a day hike, and even if I did do so I then would be too exhausted to make it back down safely. My concern was the primitiveness of the trail and that on descending I may once again make a mistake and choose the wrong canyon for the shortest distance out. I made the right decision not to go for the summit.
There hardly is any shade to be found in Joshua Tree National Park where the Mojave Desert meets the Colorado desert. Although it was in the low 80s, it felt in the low hundreds by noon with the omnipresent sun burning down on me. I am so thankful I had my sunshade for my hands periodically would burn from the sun rays.
I made a very good decision to stop whenever I came across shade (even though I desired to keep going) to crawl up under the bush or rock to get out of the sun.
At one point I lay under the shade of a boulder for about the 15 minutes. This was the period I became accustomed to resting in the shade for my breathing to subside from panting to normal. Then I slowly would drink my sports drink. I am so thankful that I carried my 136 ounces of fluid as I used it all up as I saw the trailhead in a distance. Oh, after lying there in the dirt under that boulder until my breathing subsided, I look over across from me and about 6 feet away in the shade of a rock that had and opening underneath was this huge rattlesnake that filled the entire space. I was so exhausted physically that I didn't even move with haste, but just perfunctorily gathered my pack and moved on.
I started at 6:00 am and return to the trailhead at 6:45 pm. Indeed, it WAS a primitive trail. I never felt loss as all I had to do was follow one of the canyons out to Pinto Basin and then head due east for the highway. The problem was the heat and the perpetual need for shade which there were hardly none.
I also became aware that after having consumed over a gallon of fluids I still never felt the need to urinate.
I didn't make the summit of Pinto mountain, but that is ok. I'm happy. Sometimes accomplishing the goal we set for ourselves in life is not as important as what we learn in the process of our failures to do so.
I learned a lot about me on this hiking trip, especially the attempt to reach the summit of Pinto mountain.

1st of all DO YOUR HOMEWORK, by the sounds of this piece it was put together by someone who hasn't been out there but read a book. Doing your homework means researching your hike not only using maps but Satelite photos as well. Most Ranchers only know of water places on their Ranch and they do not want you there or around their Cattle which can become grumpy and protective of "their" water source.. Hike only during the months of November thru April. If there are roads near your hike, make a cache of a few gallons of water along the way as did Colin Fletcher during his Hike, the Thousand Mile Summer. Also carry that Plastic 6x6 piece of ground cloth and make a solar still by creating a well by stacking rocks in a circle if you have nothing to dig with and placing as much chopped or stomped on vegetation you can in the hole. I always carry one of those small metal foldup shovels, not for the digging latrines but one just a bit bigger that folds down and is a miniture Entrenching tool with a pick on one end. A Space Blanket which can be used to make shade placing the shiny side towards the sun. Bee's need water, so if there are Bee's in the area watch them for awhile and observe where they are going, are they going to the Hive or ground nest or to water..If you do find a Tinajas be very observant as to what is around it like Packrat or ground Squirrel droppings which could give you a number of diseases including the Plague. I carry one of those small sippy straw filters just for this reason. Also make sure you have at least 50 feet of nylon cord with you for sometimes the Tinajas is located under a jumble pile of rocks which you can see but can't climb down too. I carry My USMC issued Canteen cup from the 1970's which has the fold down handles which makes it perfect for tying some cord too and lowering it down to the tank to dip out some water.This cup unlike modern "Latte Cups" has a number of uses fromb boiling water, to frying, to digging holes with..But no matter what anyone tells you, planning your trip smartly is what is going to make it a pleaseant experience and or save you. Black and dark colors also absorb heat so becareful of what colors your wear. In thirty years of desert hiking I never once found a petroglaph by a Tinaja, only by a Spring and if you find a Spring, do not camp by it but move away about 200 yards to avoid unwanted night time visitors such as Snakes who need water too. One of my biggest thrills in years of Desert cross country hiking was locating a Spring and camping away from it to be rewarded with watching a herd of Desert Big Horn Sheep come down to drink at sunset. I was so thrilled I forgot to take pictures of them..And if you do find Native America Artifacts,Generally under some house size Boulders where it is nice and cool, take pictures and leave them alone, do not pick them up because some are so fragile they could just turn to dust in your hand, and though some would, I wouldn't tell the Museum about them either they'll just come out and muck it up...or worse, take them and store them in a drawer for nobody to see ever again. Had that happened twice, so I don't tell anymore. My Secret! SO the key to Desert survival is to use your head ahead of time and do the proper planning and remember those Salty food bars and the likes only make you thirsty so remove the sugar and chocolate which help dehydrate being diretics, as well as the beef jerky and salty nuts..I do carry two packs of oral Hydration salts which are about the size of a matchbook which I buy from an on line source but only had to use twice over the years..Oh, the one tool I bring on EVERY Desert Hike is the Victorinox "Work Champ" which has fewer tools than the Big Champ but most importantly it has Tweezers and Pliers..and a non-slip grip with a locking main blade..Those Pliers have pulled out hundreds of Cacti Thorns over the years from my body and my boots. It also has a Saw, Scissors and screw drivers for fixting Stoves and most importantly a Lanyard ring to tie it to my belt loops so I do not lose it while scampering or boulder hopping..And finely bring a good pair of well fitting Leather work Gloves, and not the prissy garden variety but good leather fingertipped work gloves. for the granite will just eat your hands up from climbing on it and you can use them for potholders and pushing aside bushes etc. etc...
When in the sands keep your mouth closed and breath through your nose, this will stop you mouth drying up, when in open desert use your turban, sit down bring your knee's up to you chest unrarell your turban (half way) hold the end use a long stick to create a shade, all so a long walking stick is good to fend off wild dogs, and a long turban is good when you arrive at a well, when only a bucket is near, it work's for me in north Africa,
Worst thing about the desert is no shade, or shade that moves quickly into the adjacent cactus bed and then what do you do? The ground gets awefully hot if not shaded too. A parasol stays with you and you can aim it at the sun without moving around and therefore maintain your shade. Others will laugh at first but by the end they'll be won over. You dont need your tent so take one.
The same emergency blanket that enhances your bag at night will reflect the Sun 100% during the day and is really bright and can be seen well by the air and far away. You can use this to enhance your daytime hideyhole in conjunction with a tarp/ sheet. It can also be used to makeshift a solar oven that will boil rancid water in minutes making it eventually drinkable. put the solar blanket in a box or in your pack and fill with water. test this out first because the water will boil evaporate faster than you think. poor the hot water in doing extra water bottle and save for later at night when it's freezing cold out.
be careful out there people
It looks like you let some spam in.
While digging a trench might help you survive, it'll take you three days to dig it because the ground is so hard.

Man treated for smoke inhalation after Accrington pan fire
6:17pm Friday 23rd November 2012 in Hyndburn
A MAN was taken to hospital suffering from smoke inhalation after a grill pan caught fire in his home today.
Firefighters were called to Lonsdale Street in Accrington at 5.10pm.
The pan had caught fire, causing severe damage to the cooker and its contents and smoke damage to the rest of the property.
There were smoke alarms in the house but they did not have working batteries and the man was asleep.
Watch manager Gary Hargreaves said: "I cannot stress enough the need to have working batteries in smoke alarams.
"If there was a working smoke alarm in this case the damage could have been far less severe."

Student Health Services at the University of Connecticut in Storrs has achieved a prestigious accreditation that recognizes its procedures and standards of care as being among the nation's best.
The Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC) recently notified UConn Student Health Services that it had won re-accreditation, a distinction that came after an independent, external process of evaluating all aspects of its practices.
Only about 200 college health services nationwide receive accreditation from the association, which has recognized more than 5,000 organizations across the U.S. for meeting and exceeding nationally recognized standards for outpatient care.
"We believe our patients deserve the best," says Michael Kurland, director of UConn Student Health Services. "When you see our certificate of accreditation, you will know that AAAHC, an independent, not-for-profit organization, has closely examined our facility and procedures. It means we as an organization care enough about our patients to strive for the highest level of care possible."
AAAHC accreditation is recognized as a symbol of quality by third-party payers, medical organizations, liability insurance companies, state and federal agencies and the public.

Sequoia Healthcare District to consider increasing Directors Health Insurance
Original post made by Jack Hickey on Nov 29, 2012
Now, we have an "in your face" proposal from newly re-elected Director, Katie Kane, to increase the premium reimbursement for Health Care and Dental Insurance For Directors And Staff. It should be noted that 2 half time employees receive the full premium reimbursement.
The Sequoia Healthcare District must be dissolved!

ACTION 5e. Consider Increasing Premium Amount Allowed For Health Care and Dental Insurance For Directors And Staff - Director Kane
on Dec 6, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Predictably, the Sequoia Healthcare District Board of Directors, approved an increase in health insurance premiums for employees and Board Members from $1,200/month to $1,500/month effective January 2013. Yours truly proposed that the benefit for Directors be eliminated and replaced by a much more modest stipend for meeting attendance. There was no second to my motion.
Directors Kane, Griffin and Faro stand to benefit by the increase.
I raised the question as to whether sitting board members could grant themselves such an increase in compensation, suggesting that it should apply only to future board members. District counsel, Mark Hudak, will research the issue and report his findings.
on Jan 19, 2013 at 11:11 am
Another beneficiary of the increase is Pamela Kurtzman,listed on the District website as Director of Healthy Youth Initiatives (this is to be confused with the Healthy Schools Initiative Program). Pamela, who was a beneficiary of the overpayment of $400/month in-lieu benefits for Health Insurance, (see:
Web Link) has opted out of the in-lieu benefit and instead will have her $1,267.21/month family health insurance premium paid by the District while she continues to pay back her in-lieu overpayment of $9,046.
on Feb 1, 2013 at 9:25 am
In an earlier post, I raised the question as to whether sitting board members could grant themselves such an increase in compensation, suggesting that it should apply only to future board members. District counsel, Mark Hudak, was to research the issue and report his findings. This Director has not been informed of any findings.
In spite of that, payments for Boardmember health insurance premiums as reported in the latest Cash Disbursements Journal, show the following:
Kim Griffin $6,000 for coverage from 1/1-4/30/2013
Art Faro/spouse $1334.06 for Jan 2013 Medicare Supl. TBD
K. Kane/spouse $1334.06 for Jan 2013 Medicare Supl. TBD
J. Hickey $668.63 for Jan. 2013 Medicare Supl. TBD

AV Iron '09 Weight Lifting/Football Team by Toohey - over 5 years ago
"This picture was taken in front of our weight room right after I received the T-Shirts. We (the coaches, flanking each side of the picture) are resurrecting the football program at our home town high school. We took 10 rookies last year to the section playoffs after the school failed to field a team last year. We hope that a spring training and weight lifting program will help generate interest and support. We are located in Boonville California, a town of around 1,000 people. Our experience with Custom Ink was great, the t-shirts turned out better than I hoped and looked exactly as they appeared in the on-line lab. Thanks and we will be going through your company again in the future."

Since the Australian Labor Party won last year's Federal Election, a number of changes have taken place in Australia's immigration system. The so-called Pacific Solution (whereby asylum seekers were taken to Nauru and Manus Island for processing) has been dismantled and the cruel process of granting temporary protection visas has been abolished. However, this week saw reports of what would be the biggest change: the Minister for Immigration, Chris Evans has announced the "End of Mandatory Detention." (1)
Introduced by the Keating Labor Government in 1992, mandatory detention has been a policy supported by both major parties. Under this policy, 'unlawful non-citizens' were detained until they were either granted a visa to remain in Australia or deported. The detention was indefinite, with one detainee, Peter Qasim, detained for over seven years. The policy came under close scrutiny in 2005, when it was discovered that an Australian resident had been in immigration detention for almost a year, and an Australian had been deported to the Philippines. These two cases were investigated by inquiries established by the government, neither of which were authorised to question the policy of mandatory detention. (2) The policy has also been criticised by organisations such as the Australian Human Rights and Equal Opportunities Commission and the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights. (3)
The end to such a policy would be a great victory for all Australians who view it as a stain on the country's international reputation, and it has been greeted as such. (4) Unfortunately, mandatory detention in Australia has not been abolished. Positive changes have been made that should see an improvement in the treatment of refugees, but the policy of mandatory detention is still at the core of Australia's refugee policy.
Announcing the new policy, Evans outlined seven key values that will guide Australia's immigration system, the first of which is: "Mandatory detention is an essential component of strong border control." (5) It is therefore difficult to understand how the changes can be perceived as the end of mandatory detention. In fact, Evans explicitly notes in his speech that the Labor Party went to last year's election with a commitment to maintain mandatory detention, a commitment that has been honoured.
Flying in the face of earlier statements, the Government has also kept the operation of immigration detention centres in private hands, blaming the fact that the immigration department has already started the process of tendering for new providers. Maintaining operations in private hands means that there is a severe lack of transparency and accountability regarding what happens in these centres.
Another policy of the previous government that has been maintained is the excision from the migration zone of certain parts of Australia, meaning that asylum seekers that land at these areas have no claim to asylum in Australia. Further, they will continue to be detained and processed at the detention centre on Christmas Island, described by Evans as representing a "maximum security environment."
In fact, a close reading of Evans' speech shows that in many ways, Australia has not progressed as far as many would like since the nadir of the 2001 Federal Election, when the Howard Government used the fear of asylum seekers to gain a third term in office. This saw the false accusation that asylum seekers threw their children in to the water, the suggestion that terrorists may enter Australia as refugees and the implementation of a 'disruption' program in Indonesia that may have contributed to the death of 353 people onboard SIEV X. In his announcement this week, Evans noted the importance of controlling Australia's borders for reasons of national security, continued the Howard Government's propaganda that people entering Australia without a visa with the intention of claiming asylum are doing so unlawfully, and raised the issue of detainees being terrorists.
Although the changes outlined by Evans have not gone far enough, they are heading in the right direction. Changes such as the requirement for the immigration department to show why an asylum seeker should be detained, rather than having the onus of proof on the asylum seeker to show that they should be freed and a more regular review system are to be applauded. However, as Denis Shanahan said in an opinion piece this week, "the simple fact is that Evans proposals do not alter the basic building block of Australia's bipartisan immigration policy of the past 15 years: mandatory detention." (6) Hopefully, the strong endorsement received by the Government this week will convince Evans to go further, and completely dismantle the policy of mandatory detention.

The dream didn't quite die in Pullman. But that's where it began to get sick.
With an opportunity to improve to 6-3 in Pac-12 Conference play, with a chance to pull into a second-place tie at the halfway point of the conference schedule, with optimism increasing and belief present, the Washington Huskies traveled east for a Feb. 1 game at struggling, hapless Washington State.
And they lost.
The Huskies (15-13, 7-8 in Pac-12) also lost four of their next five games, three of them on the road, and fell out of contention for an NCAA tournament berth.
"We were in pretty good shape up until that point," UW coach Lorenzo Romar said. "Maybe mentally it took a little out of us. But at the same time, it was on the road. That was consistent that we, since Arizona, just didn't do well on the road, until more recently. … But during that stretch, we weren't very good on the road."
The Huskies get a second crack at WSU on Friday, a 7:30 p.m. game at Hec Edmundson Pavilion that begins a three-game homestand to end the regular season.
The stakes aren't as high this time. The best UW can hope for, aside from winning the Pac-12 tournament, is probably an NIT bid. And the Cougars (9-18, 2-13) haven't won since they beat the Huskies, with speculation now rampant that coach Ken Bone might not keep his job once the season ends.
But they can at least take some bit of solace in being the team that began the derailment of UW's (slim) NCAA tournament hopes.
"It brought us down a little bit, I would say," said UW guard Andrew Andrews. "After that we kind of went on a little downward skid of just losing games. But we've been practicing and have had three days to prepare for them, so I think we'll be ready this time around."
It was the way the Huskies lost that game, 72-67, that was most foreboding. UW led by eight points with 13:45 to play, and appeared poised to pull away. But then the Cougars ripped off a 24-5 run, led by as many as 11 points, and held on down the stretch to send the Huskies home with a deflating loss.
Long scoring runs by their opponents wound up a theme of each of the Huskies' next three losses.
Andrews said he doesn't believe the loss to WSU itself was what led to UW's losing skid.
"I just think it was more of the way we lost, or how we were playing in all the other games adding up to it," Andrews said.
Washington does enter Friday's game with some positive momentum. The Huskies snapped a seven-game road losing streak on Saturday, winning 86-62 at Oregon State, and can finish with a 10-8 conference record if they win their final three games at home.
UCLA and USC visit Hec Ed next weekend. For now, they're focused on doing something they felt they should have done a month ago: beating a WSU team that hasn't won a Pac-12 road game since Jan. 26, 2013.
The rivalry doesn't seem to be of much concern.
"For me, it's about winning and getting in the best possible position for the (Pac-12) tournament," said UW senior guard C.J. Wilcox. "It just happens that we're playing Wazzu (on Friday)."

Scouting report: A miserable season grinds toward its conclusion for Washington State, which has lost six consecutive games since beating the Huskies on Feb. 1 in Pullman. Very little has gone right since, aside from a couple of close calls in losses to California and Colorado. Curtis High alum and WSU leading scorer DaVonté Lacy is healthy again after missing six games due to a rib injury, and the Cougars' best chance at victory is always to hope that Lacy can catch fire from the outside. ... WSU is the worst offensive team in the conference, in terms of field-goal percentage, by a long way. The Cougars shoot 40.6 percent from the field. The next-lowest output is 44.3 percent, by USC. ... WSU's defense hasn't been great, either, though it's been better than the Huskies' – the Cougars allow opponents to shoot 44.8 percent from the field, while UW checks in at 48.0 percent, the worst mark in the conference. ... WSU has won at Hec Ed just once in the last five seasons – in 2011 – after winning in 2006, 2007 and 2008. ...

Football: Killick confident of keeping Gosport loan star Bennett at Poole
Updated 6:39pm Thursday 20th February 2014 in Sport By Andy Mitchell
TOM Killick has revealed loan star Justin Bennett could extend his stint at Poole Town for another month – despite the lure of a potential Wembley final.
Bennett's initial month at Tatnam expires after Saturday's home clash with Corby Town (3pm), a match which takes place while his parent club Gosport Borough vie for a place in the FA Trophy final.
Borough, managed by Wimborne Town's Wembley-winning boss Alex Pike, host Hampshire rivals Havant & Waterlooville in the second leg with the tie delicately poised at 1-1.
Dolphins manager Killick remained confident over snaring the savvy striker either way but admitted Bennett's decision could be swayed by the result at Privett Park.
On the hitman's future, Killick told the Daily Echo: "Justin is very keen to stay but he is understandably mindful of the prospect of Gosport playing at Wembley.
"Naturally, if he feels he has a chance of being involved there he would want to be and that is his dilemma, but, at the moment, his indication is that he will stay with us.
"Gosport have indicated, in principle, that they would be happy with it and I have to thank Alex (Pike) for allowing the move and provisionally agreeing to the extension."
Bennett has only played twice during his weather-disrupted spell in Dorset, but Killick reiterated the importance of his impact as Poole prepare to catch up with their mountain of fixtures over the coming weeks.
The Dolphins manager added: "He is not just proven at this level, he is prolific. He has already proved his calibre in his two games for us and I know if the ball is in or around the box he will provide a real goal threat.
"It is particularly the case now that the success or failure of our season is condensed down to just a few weeks – everything rides on this period.
"The only positive element to our backlog of games is that we can bring in people on loan who are relatively inexpensive and will play a lot of games for us."
Meanwhile, Killick declared a win over in-form Corby, who have won five of their past seven Southern League Premier Division outings, would be "essential" to their promotion aspirations.
He said: "Corby have really picked up but I feel we have got to put together a strong run of results, otherwise the gap (to the play-off places) could become unmanageable.
"Getting victories has become more of a necessity now."
Keith Emmerson returns to an otherwise unchanged squad for Dolphins.
Dolphins: (from) Hutchings, Emmerson, Brooks, Spetch, Martin, Cann, Whisken, Pettefer, Davies, Devlin, Bennett, Preston, Elliott, Chiedozie, Charles, Lowes, Thomas.
- Elsewhere, Bashley travel to Chippenham Town without Lewis Blackmore (knee) and Dave Marden (suspended).
Brad Strickland could return but the club are waiting on international clearance for new signing Ryan Whiteman, a 25-year-old from Halifax County United in Canada.
Bash: (from) Jones, Rolls, Morris, Roberts, Ansell, Marden, Bulpitt, Brookes, Lloyd, Soetan, Joyce, Odam, Manders, Gazzard, Kenna, Strickland, George.
