This is a tough, durable backpacking boot. I do however…
This is a tough, durable backpacking boot. I do however agree with the previous reviewer that the boot does have a lot of room to it, so buyer beware. As mentioned the heel room was too much for me, and after using a thicker sock the toe box became too cramped. After climbing two Colorado 14ers with these boots, I was able to subdue the severity of my heel blisters with mole skin and proper socks/lining. However minor heel blisters still are present. So this was a bit of a hit and miss for me.
If you have the right feet for this fit of boot, it is a tough waterproof boot that will support your heavy backpack and also provide great ankle support.
I walked into my local outdoor store the other day…
Materials: Leather
Use: trail even with heavy pack
Break-in Period: medium
Weight: approx 700 g per shoe
Price Paid: $189
I walked into my local outdoor store the other day and could not find a single mid- to heavy-weight hiking boot without a Gore-tex liner. It's not easy to find modern high-end hiking boots these days without a Gore-tex lining. These Asolos are some of the only ones I could find (others include the Lowa Banff, Garmont Dakota - but I was hoping to find something a bit lighter...). And don't worry, the rest of Asolo's line is filled with models including Gore-tex. Gore-tex in boots has become a scourge.
Don't get me wrong, Gore-tex is a great product. It has its uses. But for me, backpacking/trekking boots is not one of them. If you have an full leather boot, adding a Gore-tex liner makes it far too hot for summer backpacking trips in places like the US Mountain West.
For example, I have been backpacking in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming for years - typically in August. Sure, we have to cross streams and even an occasional snow field. But the need for a waterproof liner is just total overkill for the predominant conditions - hot, dry, rocks, dirt. The one time I did a trip like this in a Gore-tex boot my feet steamed like lobsters. The breathability of Goretex is widely over-estimated.
I was looking for full leather design, vibram soles, full shank. But I also was hoping to save some weight.
These Asolo PowerMatch 250 NBKs seem to fit the bill. They are noticeably lighter than my old Lowa Banffs. They have a full leather upper, they have a nice grippy vibram sole, they have a full-length nylon (plastic) shank. At first glance, they do lack some of the features of some other heavy trekking boots like a rubber rand going around the bottom part of the upper. This might negatively effect longevity. We'll see. In all of my criteria, the Asolos appear to meet my needs.
Worksmanship seems good. There are no signs of manufacturing defects or visible signs of cutting corners to save cost. The tongue is fully gussetted, for example. The hardware seems top-notch (pulley lacing system for example). The internal removable footbed is crap. But then so is the footbed of every other shoe I've bought. I will replace them with an upgraded footbed. The vibram sole is a custom design for Asolo and seems very good. The rubber seems quite grippy - even on wet rocks. And there is some padding in the midsole that gives some relief over long distances. The sole is also slightly rockered for a smooth, rolling walking motion. The overall impression is of a smooth, easy ride when walking on flat trails.
The Asolos have a tall upper section but one that is cut-out at the back to ease strain on the Achilles tendon. This is something that my old Lowas did not have. Nice.
My only complaint with the Asolos so far is fit. The boots are a bit too wide for me in general, and very noticeably too wide for me in the ankle/heel pocket area. Even with heavy socks and laces tightened to the max, I'm afraid I might be getting a bit of heel slip. However, so far on short hikes, I have not had any major problems with hot spots or blisters. I'm expecting to have to pay close attention to my heels in these boots though...
It is for this reason that I am only giving 4 stars. Otherwise, these look like winners.

C'est What Spring Festival. Unfiltered mango appearance, unfiltered wheat, though average mouthfeel. Some sourness from the wheat. Natural carbonation was suitable. Tasty despite low 9 rated IBU. Surprisingly good drinkability and a nice first beer from this brewery.

A pint at Jack Astors in south Calgary, weirdly the only current outlet in AB for this offering.
This beer appears a cloudy just south of medium pale golden straw colour, with two fingers of tight foamy white head, which leaves some sparse random streaks of lace around the glass as it quickly abates.
It smells of somewhat astringent, grainy wheat, subtle citrus rind, a mild coriander wit (I know) character, and leafy, kind of weedy hops. The taste is sweet, grainy wheat chaff, muddled citrus, somewhat soused, rounded coriander, weak white pepper, and thin earthy, leafy hops.
The carbonation is damned-near dead, the body an agreeable enough medium weight, and soft and smooth like a bloody teddy bear. It finishes more or less sweet, the wheatiness doing well in such a situation, supported by the same mixed-up spice, and battered hops.
An ok hefe, in that it seems to give off a lot more Wit notes than one would expect. Otherwise, drinkable enough, the blending of admittedly foreign styles to this particular establishment's clientele not really that surprising, yet an agreeable option for the beginning (hah!) of my way too freaking old high school reunion.

On-tap at 99 Sudbury in Toronto.
Lawn Chair Classic Weisse does indeed have the classic Weisse look: a bright and bleary golden colour, completely clouded clarity, and the well endowed, super retentive frothing typical of the style. My first thought was: "hell ya, I want a piece of that!"
This rather 'bubblegum-y' German-inspired wheat beer is actually redolent of the perfumy coriander and citrusy orange that distinguishes the Belgian wheat beer ("witbier") style. Hardly surprising considering both share similar fruity, floral and spicy components to begin with. In any event, this general effervescence is testament to the abracadabra! of yeast.
"Abracadabra!" is right. Anyone who's ever tried a German Weisse beer of any kind can attest to the near-magical properties of some of these yeast strains. Flavours as disparate as vanilla (sweet), banana (fruity) and clove (spicy) all stem from that one special unicellular, eukaryotic micro-organism known as Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
But all that should be attributed to mother nature - what has the brewer done worth applauding? Well, for starters, he was smart to just let the yeast do its thing and use only pale malts, including the necessary dosage of wheat malt to ensure that crisp and creamy dualism in the mouthfeel. Amping the bubbles up was also a smart move.
Lawn Chair "Classic" Weisse is a well assembled wheat beer that flows down the throat so easily and quickly it'll make you feel like you have the gullet of a pelican. That said, a leopard can't change his spots - to suggest this mainstream-minded brewery produces anything on the level of the great German classics is absurd. But I'd certainly call this 'a decent homage'.

Cloudy straw yellow with a half inch of white foam on top, kind of dense. Fair head retention, a bit of lace. Sour wheat aroma, a bit grassy with banana sweetness, hint of vanilla. Same in the flavour, but balanced more towards the sweetness provided by the grains and the banana fruitiness from the yeast. Mild, but persistent, bitterness with lingering vanilla and a hint of brown sugar. Medium bodied, lowish carbonation. A respectable beer.

Tall Can from the Ottawa LCBO for $3 or so
Appearance - Gold colour with an average size fizzy/frothy white head. There is an average amount of carbonation showing and there is some fair lacing. The head lasted for 4-5 minutes before it was gone.
Smell - Cloves, lemons, banana, breads/grains
Taste & Mouth - There is an above average amount of carbonation and I can taste cloves, bananas and lemons. There is also a bit of an earthiness and sugary sweetness.
Overall - Tasty but pretty plain. There are a few flavours there, but none are really pronounced. Probably a good beer for those just getting into craft. Refreshing and worth a try but there are many other beers withing this style that are far more interesting.

Yesterday I was fortunate to head down to the launch party for the new beer from Hop City - a craft brewery that has the backing of Moosehead. Late last year, Hop City debuted on the scene with Barking Squirrel Lager, a crisp and drinkable beer that instantly reminded me of a Creemore. While Barking Squirrel would not displace any of my craft favourites I'd take it in a heartbeat over the crap that's available in most bars, so I welcomed the announcement that their new beer would be a hefeweizen.
Pours a cloudy light orange with a finger of white head that soon dips to a film and then fizzles away to a collar, without leaving any lacing on the glass. The scented aroma is dominated by clove and grain, along with faint bubblegum notes. It's a strain to pick out any banana, which on a scale of 1-10 is probably around a 2. The flavour is simple and clean, seemingly straddling the border between a hefeweizen and a Belgian-style witbier. There's certainly a pronounced wheat aspect, which provides a nice tang, and this is enhanced by lemon tones. A slight spiciness from the yeast results mostly in clove flavours. Perhaps the biggest defect with this beer is the carbonation, which seems excessively high and really retards the drinkability. While hefeweizens invariably do have a high level of carbonation, the bubbles are often softer and provide a more pillowy and fuller mouthfeel, but in this case the end result is more prickly and aggressive.
A recent trend in the mainstream Canadian brewing industry has been the expansion of product lines to offer 'white' beers, which are essentially some form of bastardised belgian wit in the spirit of Hoegarden. With a hefeweizen, Hop City seemed to be stepping slightly out of the box, and my initial thinking was that this would be a great way for non-craft drinkers to be exposed to one of brewing's greatest styles. However, the marked absence of banana flies in the face of expectations, and Lawn Chair Classic Weisse isn't really all that different to Rickards White, albeit a touch less sweet and a bit sharper.
While I think it has a great chance in the mainstream market, I don't think this will pull dedicated craft beer drinkers away from their favourites, as it struggles to match the quality levels of pre-existing offerings. Still, I think Hop City have a role to play in slowly increasing the acceptance of styles that deviate from the macro lager norm, and for that I applaud this effort.

Pours a cloudy pale orange-yellow colour with thin white head. No lacing to speak of, but ok head retention. Smell is of mild lemon with some wheat. Taste has no bitterness, but has tart lemon tinge to it. Ok carbonation for the style.
I'm impressed with Hop City in that this and their Barking Squirrel are popping up in many places around Ontario. I'm not as impressed with their beer. They are fine and better than the macro selections, but I can't say much else about them.

On tap:
Tapped a pale lightly clouded gold with a smallish cap that didn't last. Big bubble artificial carbonation. Looks poor for the style standard.
Aroma was light biscuit some barely detectable fruit and mustiness.
Thin body, thin on the palate.
Biscuity, some twiggy hops no spice or banana to speak of, thin clean lightly dry finish.
A weak representation of the style.

473 mL can served slightly chilled. This is a new addition to the craft beer selection at the local LCBO, and it's great to see this operation getting their previously 'tap-only' offerings into more widely accessible tallboys.
Pours a murky straw-yellow colour, opaque with sediment and topped at first with nearly two fingers of puffy, frothy white head. Unfortunately, it fizzles away before my very eyes, resulting in an unimpressive collar and film at the surface. The nose is a bit citrusy, but overall it's disappointingly subdued. Notes of orange, banana and wheaty malt sweetness are about all I can pick out.
Quite light-tasting and approachable. Lots of sweet wheat malts, accompanied by orange and lemon citrus that provide a mildly tart vibration to the flavour. Weakly spicy at the finish, with a touch of pepper and clove. A pleasant, citrusy sweetness clings to the palate briefly after each sip. On the lighter end of medium-bodied, with relatively weak carbonation that gives this one a smooth, somewhat slick feel on the palate.
Final Grade: 3.61, an acceptable B grade. Lawnchair Classic Weisse is a proper-tasting hefe, though without much of the yeasty, spicy goodness or the velvety mouthfeel of the best German examples of the style. Hop City's interpretation is probably more sessionable than my favourite examples of this style, so I will give it props for that with a bumped Overall score. An adequate wheat ale that is worth a shot if you happen to spot it, much like the rest of the beers in Hop City's gradually expanding portfolio.

473 ml can purchased from LCBO. Served cold into a pint glass.
Appearance - hazy yellow in color, not quite as golden as others, capped by about a finger and half of white head, which sadly doesn't make a lasting impression. Bubbles are lively.
Smell- a bit metallic, the clove and banana takes repeated whiffs to come through. Some nice spiciest in there though.
Taste - planty of banana and clove, a touch more on the bitter side for the style. Taste is a shred thin.
Mouthfeel - light bodied but also thin feeling through. Decent carbonation but it is soft.
Overall - a good example of a hefe, but there are other examples that are better. Wouldn't turn it down again, but probably won't go buy it again.

T- Ok but not great. Pretty light and weak. Not much here at all. Sure you can call it a summer beer but there are better.
M- Ok but not all that wonderful. Dryness helps
O- Pretty good but not all that great. Will not buy again that is for sure. Better examples of white beers around for your hard earned money

I interviewed through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week - interviewed at Paycom.Interview Details
The process was quick and seemed smooth and simple, however when it came to receiving word back about whether or not I had received the job, the recruiter that had been working with me avoided my calls and did not reply to my emails. Then, in the end, I received a rejection via automated email. This was after an online application, having my resume referred by a family friend within the company, a phone/screening interview, and two in-person interviews -- the second of which the interviewer spent the majority of the interview assuring me that they company saw me as a great asset with high test scores, good interviewing skills, and a great educational background, though they feared I might be overqualified. I was told quote,"We wouldn't want to lose you to another employer." I find it a bit disingenuous after being later rejected and told from my friend within the company that ultimately I wasn't given the job because they felt I was too quiet.Interview Questions

The process first began with an phone screening process that was relatively basic. They went over past work experiences, education, etc. The next step was a one on one interview with the district manager. This was laid back and she asked some simple questions about where you want to be in 5 years, what you are looking for in a position, what are the three most important things in your life, etc. Then a phone canvassing session in which you needed to set up 3 appointments to move on. The first time I did not meet the requirement but they asked me to come back for another time. The second time I could not stay for the full 4 hours, unfortunately, and only set up one appointment. After that I was not asked back for the next step. Still, it was great experience, I learned a lot and it helped me land a different sales position with one of Paycom biggest competitors!Interview Questions

I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Paycom.Interview Details
Very impressive process that revealed they make sure they have the right fit before extending an offer. Started the process with a recruiter who screened me thoroughly before setting up a phone screen with the local sales manager. After passing, I met the sales manager for an in-person interview, and afterward met the rest of the team in the office. The next interview was with the regional VP of Sales who was young but sharp as a tack. After passing that stage I was invited to a "phone canvassing" session which basically is a try-out to see if you have what it takes to cut it. This also provides you with an opportunity to determine for yourself whether or not this is the job for you. The goal is setting 3 appointments within a 5 hour period. If you pass the phone canvassing session you then meet with the CSO for a final screen. If this goes well, you'll most likely get an offer.Interview Questions

I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks - interviewed at Paycom in January 2014.Interview Details
I contacted a recruiter about the position and was told that I had a solid background for the position and setup an in-person interview at the office in Chicago with the Sales Manager. My first interview was straight forward, pretty basic questions. Tell me about a time... Why are you a good fit for Paycom?
Made it to the second round and had a webcam interview with the regional sales manager. Much more thorough of an interview, really checking to see why you want to sell payroll and work for them. I sold myself and was moved on to a phone canvassing session back in the Chicago office.
I showed up on a Friday morning for a 4 hour cold calling session. You are given a list of numbers to call, a brief script to practice with prior and left to your own devices. They expect you to land 3 confirmed appointments in 4 hours, which is incredibly difficult in that industry. I went on to cold call and land THREE appointments in the allotted time.
The recruiter reached out to me a few days later and told me they were going with someone else. I recommend following up and really getting to know the people in the office you visit as best you can. I feel like they have a strong influence on your hiring managers decision.Interview Questions

I interviewed through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks - interviewed at Paycom in December 2013.Interview Details
Initially you will be contacted by a recruiter or you can do what I did and call the recruiter directly. They look over your resume and they have you apply online. Based on your answers online you will be classified into how interested they are in you. If you are what they are looking for they will have you interview with a local office manager. If that goes well you will interview with a regional. If you pass that they will bring you in for a phone canvassing trial. They give you 4 hours to set 3 appointments cold calling. Just keep calm and don't get stressed or anxious, if you are decent on the phone you shouldn't have any issues. If you pass this phase you will interview with the Chief Sales Officer and he will give his recommendation. If all of this goes well you have to pass a background check that includes DMV driving record, drug screening, felony check and don't lie on your resume because they will check all of that. It's a pretty in depth process but if you get the job you know you a qualified employee and they want to invest in you and watch you unleash your potential.Interview Questions

I heard he erupted in his post game, swearing like a hoboany link to the vid would be great?
LMAO! Does anyone notice the back of his head looks shaved in a crescent style? WTF is that?
He might be losing his job but the make up of his team looks a lot better than ours at this point! Feel free to reply to that.
Any one got a link to Denny Green going mad!
Doesn't look any better to me...The Bucs have a decent T.E. in Smith. They have a great younger RB in Caddy. They have a better O-line building up. They have a QB who is on Par with Leinart right now. They have a Clayton who might be waking up from a Soph. Slumber. And Stove is a big target that has a lot of upside.I think the Bucs have just as much upside as the Cards do, and they are in about the same 1 win predicament as the Cards are. Feel free to reply to that.

Adding to the uncertainty due to the current lockout are the undeniably shaky QB situations facing one-third of the league's teams, including the 49ers and holdover starter Alex Smith.

Riding high: Equestrian sports bask in Olympic success (From Herald Series)

Riding high: Equestrian sports bask in Olympic success
4:00pm Tuesday 5th February 2013 in News By Pete Hughes, Reporter covering Abingdon and Wantage, South Oxford and Kennington. Call me on 01865 425431
FOLLOWING London 2012, Britain is officially the best country in the world at Olympic horse riding.
Team GB aced the equestrian event with three gold medals, one silver and one bronze.
And, with more than 20 stables and equestrian centres in the county, Oxfordshire is a great place to learn.
Sarah Hill, who runs Pigeon House Equestrian near Woodstock, said the club has welcomed 20 new members since the Olympic games.
Ms Hill, 42, from North Leigh, near Witney, said: "It has been really good for the sport.
"The British are great riders, going back years and years."
She said it takes 18 months for a rider to build up the necessary bond with their horse.
Olympic horse riders compete in three disciplines – dressage, show jumping, and eventing, which combines the first two skills with cross-country racing.
Ms Hill's 17-year-old daughter, Olivia Abdolrazaghi, is in training to become a professional horse rider, and hopes one day to compete in the Olympics.
Next year she will take part in eventing competitions, for which she had to register with the governing body, British Eventing.
Miss Abdolrazaghi said: "It is a very competitive environment, but I like the thrill of it."
At each event, the competitors first walk the cross-country course with their trainers to memorise the route.
Next is a more artistic dressage display, where riders are marked out of 10 for their routine, putting their horse through a series of carefully- choreographed movements.
Then comes the show jumping event, where riders aim to get round in the fastest time without knocking down any part of the jumps.
Finally, the rider takes on the cross-country course over 1,500 or 2,000 metres, depending on the skill level, with between 24 and 28 wooden jumps.
Success at Olympic level does not come cheap. Miss Abdolrazaghi said: "It is very money-orientated – I am hoping to get sponsorship next year."
Ms Hill points out you do not have to be competitive to enjoy horse riding.
She said: "A lot of people have such a busy lifestyle, it is so nice to do something that is for you and nobody else."
She said holidays which offer horse riding were popular with couples.
"It is a really nice thing to do as a couple.
"There are not that many sports that you learn and then go away and enjoy as a couple."

I've created a chat client in flash lite that uses a xmlsocket to listen for messages.
My problem is that when the application is sent to the background it is paused and can't listen for messages.
How can I have it resume in the background?
I read that from flash lite 3.1 you can have your app resume processing in the background if you make an asynchronous call to one or more Symbian Platform Services with a callback.
Is there a way I could use this technique to get a notification of when the application is sent to the background or paused and use the callbackSettings.resumeOnEvent to resume processing?
Is there any other way to solve this problem?
My application is useless if it cant run and receive messages in the background.
Any help with this issue appreciated! Thanks

The SOAP consumer has two specialized configuration properties. One controls if the endpoint needs to use the JBI wrapper to make messages consumable. The other determines if the endpoint checks its WSDL for compliance with the WS-I basic profile.
There are instances when a JBI component cannot consume a native SOAP message. For instance, SOAP headers pose difficulty for JBI components. The JBI specification defines a JBI wrapper that can be used to make SOAP messages, or any message defined in WSDL 1.1, conform to the expectations of a JBI component.
To configure a SOAP consumer to wrap messages in the JBI wrapper you set its
useJbiWrapper attribute to
Example 3.8 shows a configuration fragment for configuring a SOAP consumer to use the JBI wrapper.
Example 3.8. Configuring a SOAP Consumer to Use the JBI Wrapper
<beans xmlns:jms="http://servicemix.apache.org/jms/1.0"
... >
<jms:soap-consumer wsdl="classpath:widgets.wsdl"
useJbiWrapper="true" />
The WS-I basic profile is a specification describing the minimum set of requirements for a Web service to be considered interoperable. The requirement of the specification mostly constrain the binding of messages into SOAP containers.
By default, SOAP consumers will verify that their WSDL complies to the WS-I basic profile before starting up. If the WSDL does not comply, the endpoint will not start up.
If you want to skip the WS-I basic profile verification, you can set the consumer's
validateWsdl attribute to

The 85-year-old Pope announced his decision in Latin Monday morning during a meeting of Vatican cardinals. He told the cardinals that he didn't feel he could carry on the job given his advanced age.
Benedict is the first pope in modern history to resign. The last pope to resign was in 1415, nearly 600 years ago. The Pope's resignation goes into effect February 28th. A conclave will convene in mid-March to elect a new leader.

CSX is keeping its speed level as it rumbles down the rails, at least as far as its dividend is concerned. The company has declared a fresh distribution of $0.15 per share of its common stock, to be dispensed on Sept. 13 to shareholders of record as of Aug. 30. That amount matches the company's previous payout, which was distributed last month. Before that, CSX paid $0.14 per share.
Since splitting its stock 3-for-1 at the end of May 2011, the company's distribution has ranged from $0.12 per share to the current level.
The just-declared dividend annualizes to $0.60 per share. That yields 2.5% at CSX's most recent closing stock price of $23.91.

Boris pledges to bring Freedom Pass eligibility down to 60
3:49pm Tuesday 21st February 2012 in Traffic & Travel By Jim Palmer
BORIS Johnson has pledged to lower the age of eligibility for free 24-hour public transport back to 60 if he is re-elected.
The Mayor of London said he would reverse the previous administration's decision to gradually increase the age of eligibility for the Freedom Pass to 65 by 2015.
Mr Johnson said: "Hard-working people who have done the right thing and paid their taxes in expectation of free travel on retirement are right to be annoyed at those who seek to take that away.
"Today I renew my pledge to elderly Londoners that they will get free travel from the age of 60. I am confident that ongoing savings will enable me to deliver this for the next mayoral term."

Mohegan Sun representatives were back in front of the Mass Gaming Commission Tuesday for their new plan to bring a casino to the state.
After voters in Palmer shot down Mohegan's proposal back in November, the gaming company teamed up with Suffolk Downs to build a casino in the Eastern Mass city of Revere.
The gaming commission voted to allow the Suffolk Downs application to move forward, but under one condition. Both the casino developers and the city of Revere must commit to holding a second election.
They have to decide within seven days whether to accept the commission's new mandate on holding a second vote.
Back on Nov. 5, residents of Revere voted in favor of bringing gambling to their city.
However, during Tuesday's meeting, commission members said this is a whole new proposal which requires a new vote.
Commissioner James McHugh said he wants to make sure the voters are informed on what the new proposal entails.
"What I've perceived to be the issue at the very center of the current debate, is the role of the voters in allowing the application to move forward," said McHugh.
If approved by the voters, Suffolk Downs would only be the landlords of the site.
Mohegan Sun would be at the controls of the casino.
The only other company given the green light to build a Boston-based casino is Wynn Resorts. They're looking to settle in the town of Everett.

Imitation Crab Attack of the Giants Manga Lunch
Monday, May 13, 2013 | Shingeki no Kyojin, awesome, crab face, funny, sushi face, weird, 超大型巨人
Shingeki no Kyojin crab face lunch!
Now, I am not claiming to know anything about this manga, but in my research I have uncovered that this giant is from 'Attack of the Giants' (Shingeki no Kyojin) and the giant you see here is made out of delicious imitation crab meat with rice grain teeth. Apparently, these giants love to eat people and the manga itself is a very disturbing read. Sounds perfect. I guess.

CHATTANOOGA (WRCB) -- After Channel 3 brought you first word that Jesse Mathews was being housed in a medium security prison, the local district attorney's office requested that Mathews be transferred.
Now, corrections has moved him into a new prison: the West Tennessee State Penitentiary in Henning, about an hour's drive south from the medium security facility that had been holding him.
The move comes as a relief for the families of Mathews' victims, who have questions about how a man sentenced to life without parole, and with an escape history fell through the cracks.
State prisons commissioner Derrick Schofield says Jesse Mathews' new home better suits the admitted cop killer than his previous address. "I'm sitting here second guessing the staff that did that, and I would say it's not the best choice for him to be a medium security offender," says Schofield.Mathews was graded by a computer program that weighs the severity of an offense, past criminal behavior, and escape attempts. He was then assigned to a medium security facility, the second lowest classification. The decision was made without the department of corrections knowing Mathews murdered a police officer, or that he was on escape status when he did it. "The judgment is pretty clear, it was life without parole for murder plus an additional 25 years, so that speaks for itself," says Hamilton County Assistant District Attorney General Neal Pinkston.Schofield agrees the judgment alone should have raised a flag, prompting his team to check a nationwide database for information on Mathews' background. "Part of this is to go back and ensure that we do some retraining and we have consistency," says Schofield.Mathews will be reassessed, but Schofield can't guarantee he will remain in maximum security, a place reserved for inmates who have caused problems at lower level facilities. Mathews has behaved. And, the fact that he murdered a police officer doesn't mandate maximum security. "We also have to be fair to the offender, that we don't just punish them based on what the family says should happen or what the D.A. says should happen," Schofield says. "We are going to take all that into consideration."A true classification will take 10 days. Schofield insists the oversight never put the public in danger. "Even at medium security the facility he was in was capable of holding him, in terms of the potential for him to leave, as well as our maximum security facilities," he says.
The families of Mathews' victims are teaming up to make sure he stays in maximum security.
They've contacted lawmakers about possible legislation that would make it mandatory for anyone who kills a police officer to serve time in maximum security.
They also want to see a pre-sentence investigation, which outlines a convict's background for the department of corrections, done for all cases.
Currently, it is exempt when there is an agreed plea.

J.W. "Jim" Blackwell takes care of the thousands of catfish that call the man-made lake home.
Blackwell had the lake built several years ago on 40 acres of land where he was born and raised until he left for military service at the age of 18.
Blackwell, one of 10 children born to James Hardy and Effie May Meadows Blackwell, remembers the days before electricity when his family stored their milk in a natural spring, one of six that now fills up the lake.
"When we cut into that spring (for the lake), it was just like an artesian well. The water came up about 20 feet," he said.
Blackwell and his wife, Mary, lived in California for many years before they came home to retire in 1994.
Catfish Lake opened in 1998. It took a year to build, sits on 3.6 acres and is 26 and a half feet at its deepest point.
"It was his dream to have his own catfish pond. It's his baby, really," Mary Blackwell said.
Blackwell charges fishermen $1.25 per pound to catch his catfish. The price has remained the same since 2002.
He estimates that there are between 8,000 and 10,000 small catfish in the lake and another 3,000 to 4,000 fish that weigh five pounds or more.
The fish in the lake are so big that Blackwell requires a 25 pound minimum for test lines.
"If somebody hooks into a great big one and it swallows the hook and breaks the line, in three days it will be belly up," he said.
Blackwell usually doesn't let anyone keep a fish that is less than 12 inches long. However, he's currently overlooking that rule because the lake is overstocked.
The catfish replenish themselves. Blackwell hasn't had to add more to the lake since it opened.
Catfish Lake is open on Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. and during the week by appointment.
Approximately 100 people visit the lake in a given year. It's a popular destination for church groups and clubs who are planning fish fries.
"We have some groups of three or four that come in here, and they'll take home 250 pounds of fish," Blackwell said.
Blackwell usually catches enough fish himself to fill his freezer once a year.
Blackwell doesn't run the lake because it's profitable. He spends a lot of time and money so that others can know the thrill of hooking "the big one."
He cuts the grass, sprays the banks, checks the temperature and oxygenation of the water regularly, and adds 500 to 1,500 pounds of salt sometimes for alkalinity.
When the catfish get sick, he has to give them medicated food for several weeks. Three years ago, 26 catfish died in one day.
Sometimes the fish die from disease, sometimes from pure meanness.
"They're very territorial. Some people have said that they can fight over 24 hours at a time without quitting. They may die of exhaustion or from the gashes inflicted by the other fish," Blackwell said.
The upkeep of the lake is slowly taking a toll on Blackwell, who is 77. When it finally becomes too much for him, the responsibility will fall to his son, Kenneth.
It is a Blackwell tradition to pass family land to the youngest male. However, Blackwell will do the work himself as long as he is able.
"There's nothing I enjoy more than to see young people and teenagers or older women catching their first fish. Some of the teenage girls get out on the dock and catch a four or five pound fish. They start jumping up and down. I think they're going to go right into the lake," he said.

Nothing's more fun than a link to a spreadsheet! Weeell.... On the heels of crazy posts from everywhere and every angle on the Crisp-Ramirez trade, replete with the usual overheated rhetoric, anger, objective analysis, dubious appeals to authority, and demands to pledge allegiance Sluggerrr, I decided to take a break and do some actual work. Just kidding. Actually, I went back to a "project" I started a while back and then set aside for home brewing total player value. Other people do it better, but there is a certain joy from doing something oneself. It all started when I realized that UZR had Emil Brown as a good defender in 2005 and 2006. You can read how I used what stats where in notes to linked spread sheet. I used UZR for the most part because I had access to those stats. It would be nice to use Dewans, but only the leaders/trailers are posted publicly. For some 2007 players and all 2008, I had to go elsewhere for stats. This started out as a chance for me to try "total player stuff" and see how good or bad Emil Brown really was in 2005 andn 2006. In that connection, at one point I posted yesterday or the day before that Emil Brown had been better than Jose Guillen 3 of the last 4 years (2005-2008 is the time frame of this stuff), and thought it was true based on my original calculations. It turns out he was only better 2 of the last 4, though, after I included outfield arms and prorated positional adjustments and replacement levels. Still, the comparison is quite interesting... Check out those totals. This isn't "projective" on its own and isn't meant that way, although the stats could be, of course, used as part of a projection. Keep in mind that these stats are all gathered from elsewhere and combined as objectively as I could according to principles accepted by respected analysts. OF arms aren't available from THT for 2008 yet. You can disagree with stats (like the defensive stuff), but I did the best I could with what I could find out there for free. Also included: 2005-2008 comparisons of KCs current (as of this writing!) top 4 OFs, an enjoyable "after-dinner" mint for KC fans, and, of course, an Ultimate Showdown for entertainment. I hope you enjoy this little spreadsheeted march through recent history half as much as I (absurdly) did. Update: Here's what Tango says WAR/year generally indicates as far a player quality (although it's clear some GMs don't get it: 0 replacement level/out of the majors 1 bench player 2 average player (might be closer to 2.5 for Al position players) 3 above average player 4 very good player 5 great player 6 one of the best players in the league

Companies will need to re-examine their benefits strategies in the wake of Congress' passage of the most substantial change to the health system since Medicare. How can agile companies prepare for the major changes coming their way, since the new healthcare bill will affect all employers regardless of size?
U.S. health reform legislation affects all employers, regardless of size or insurance status, ushering in tax deductions, fees and subsidies likely to affect their benefits strategies. The April 2010 10Minutes explores a range of possible health reform issues, including:

Hello, Verona:
You have asked a question that confuses many of us ordinary native speakers, too.
I found this explanation:
"Sometimes the past perfect is used ... with before or an equivalent word, to indicate an action which
should have preceded the action expressed in the main clause, but did not actually do so:
The manager came before I had read the report."

Nevada sophomore Luke Babbitt will declare for the NBA Draft and sign with an agent, ruling out any chance he could return to school, according to Jeff Goodman of Fox Sports.
The 6'8'', 215-pound Babbitt was one of the few fringe first-round picks who had not declared for the draft, and his decision to not only put his name in, but sign with an agent seems to indicate he knows some teams at the end of the first round are interested. ESPN's Chad Ford highlighted Babbitt as one of the last "big" names still on the fence, and said:
Babbitt has a lot of fans, probably more than is reflected by his placement on our Big Board. Some GMs have him in the late teens to early 20s. Others aren't as convinced and have him parked in the second round. But given the number of GMs that like him, if he declares, he'll likely sneak into the first round.
Ford currently ranks Babbitt as the 35th-best prospect in this class, while Draft Express has him 41st and NBADraft.net puts him 30th. Babbitt's smooth shooting stroke, especially for a big, make him an appealing prospect, although his marked lack of athleticism limits his upside.
Babbitt averaged 21.9 points and 8.9 rebounds per game for Nevada this past season.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers has given goalkeeper Jose Reina his full backing after the Spain international's indifferent start to the season.
The 30-year-old made glaring mistakes against the likes of Hearts, Arsenal and Norwich but the Reds boss is not concerned.
"I can't speak highly enough of Pepe. He's a keeper who has really impressed me," he said.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Sep. 30, 2008 — Zimbra, a Yahoo! Company and the leader in open source, next-generation messaging and collaboration software, today announced the availability of a new open extension framework for Zimbra Collaboration Suite™ (ZCS) that enables two-way interoperability with leading collaboration platforms. Large enterprises and academic institutions can now easily integrate teams using Zimbra to work seamlessly with other departments that use different collaboration servers like Microsoft Exchange, exploring the benefits of Zimbra without having to make the decision to replace their current systems up front. This extends Zimbra's history of openness and compatibility to a broader range of platforms, and builds on Yahoo!'s leadership in e-mail as a key starting point for users.
The first extension, built by Zimbra for the Microsoft Exchange 2003 platform, and now in beta, allows Zimbra users to access and share two-way free/busy information, schedules and global address book with colleagues whose data resides on Microsoft Exchange. The framework is also openly available for anyone in the Zimbra community to write an extension to other collaboration platforms such as IBM Lotus Domino, Novell® GroupWise®, or PeopleCube Meeting Maker.
"Interoperability with Exchange and other leading collaboration systems is a top request by many enterprises and academic institutions where mixed deployments are common," said Satish Dharmaraj, Zimbra co-founder and Yahoo! vice president. "Zimbra's recent growth with large organizations has been tremendous, with recent customer wins and deal expansions including Dai Nippon Publishing, Reliance Industries, H&R Block and Texas A&M University. This interoperability builds upon a long record of compatibility work by Zimbra and is one of the key needs for our largest customers."
ZCS Interoperability for Exchange features:
"As a research facility, our researchers, scientists and administrative teams have varying needs of collaboration tools. We want to give each department and all of our users the flexibility of using the collaboration platform that works best for them, while avoiding the IT headache of a mixed environment," said Brian Finley, IT Strategist, Argonne National Laboratory. "The Zimbra interoperability framework offers us a way to seamlessly integrate teams and users on various platforms while giving each department the freedom of choice to use any platform they desire."
ZCS Interoperability for Exchange is free for all ZCS Open Source and Network Edition users and the framework is available now for anyone to develop extensions to other leading platforms. Zimbra Outlook Connector and Zimbra Mobile are available for ZCS Network Edition users.
The ZCS 5.0 Open Source Edition is free. The commercially supported ZCS 5.0 Network Edition is available for a 60-day free trial on the Zimbra website. Zimbra's Hosted Demo is available for an immediate test drive of ZCS.
ZCS Network Edition includes product support as well as software subscriptions to new releases, updates and patches.
