---- — As the sun set over Babson Reservoir Saturday night, two Rockport boys who had ventured out for a mountain bike ride in the winding Dogtown trails hours earlier found themselves soaked and stranded, surrounded by water and prickly bramble bush.
After attempting a swim back to the familiar path they had lost track of, 13-year-old Eli Bulba dialed 911, while his 14-year-old friend, Peter Derosa, sat next to him.
"They described their location pretty well, but the problem was accessibility. You could only access them by a two-hour hike in through the woods," Derosa's dad, Christopher Derosa, said Monday.
The pair had been following a path using a mapping device, when suddenly the trail ended. They made their way to a clearing, then climbed through some brush, and still found no route out of the woods. They swam to no avail then, wet from head to toe, then made the call that allowed police and firefighters to rescue them from a dark night in the woods.
"My son had a cellphone, but like any other 14-year-old, almost 15, he didn't use it to call me," the elder Derosa said Monday.
Derosa called to check in on his son soon after the kids called police. He counted on the officers to find the boys, then picked them up at the police station
Derosa expressed his gratitude toward police and firefighters who had responded immediately, plotted ideas for rescuing the kids, then climbed through bramble so thick that it ripped their uniforms, working their way toward the kids then leading them back out of the woods to safety.
"I saw their uniforms, and they were all stitches exposed," Derosa said. "I appreciated them very much. They took it like a serious rescue operation — and I'm thankful that they did."
Police had an eye on the boys not long after receiving the emergency call, but the scraggly brush and lack of paths heightened the difficulty of the rescue. Officer Mark Foote kept an eye on the boys from a perch on the train tracks.
Firefighters attempted to deploy a boat to the spot where emergency personnel could see the boys sitting across the water, but found the water was too shallow.
Using flashlights, Fire Capt. Tom LoGrande, Police Officer Brian Aiello, and firefighters Mike Mitchell and John McCarthy entered the woods, picking their way through several paths over the course of two hours.
"The woods were thick and it was difficult to reach the boys," Aiello wrote in the police report.
But, the mixed group of emergency personnel eventually gathered up the two boys and they all hiked together out of the woods, relying completely on flashlights until they reached the tracks and safety in the pitch dark night.

"We're peaking at the right time and this is our best finish and performance since we started the cross-country program. It's exciting."

BETHLEHEM, Pa. –— The Plattsburgh State men's cross country team stacked up well against some of the toughest competition in all of the NCAA, finished 21st out of the 33 teams that took part in the 39th Annual Paul Short Invitational in Bethlehem Pa., on Friday.
Better than 5,000 runners took to the trails at the Invitational and the Cardinals narrowly missed a top-20 finish, collecting 519 points – just five more than Division II opponent Kutztown University.
Junior Adam Shearer just missed a top-50 finish, posting a time of 26:26 and crossing the finish line of the eight kilometer course in 53rd place. Not far behind was senior Chris Martin, who concluded his race in a time of 26:28. Martin's 58th place finish would prove to be the only other top-100 finish of the afternoon for the Cardinals.
Senior Ryan Millar and junior Michael Schram ran together most of the day, as Millar finished in 121st with a time of 27:15. Schram was just three spots behind his fellow runner with a time of 27:16.
Rich Adickes rounded out the quintet of Plattsburgh State runners, traversing the eight-kilometer course in a time of 27:53 – good for 163rd place.
The Cardinals were in the middle of the SUNYAC contingent as SUNY Cortland recorded a fifth-place finish while SUNY Brockport added a 29th place finish.
A road trip to Saratoga, N.Y., is in order next Saturday (Oct. 6) as the Cardinals will take part in the Saratoga Invitational. The race, which is hosted by RPI, is scheduled to begin at noon.
CARDINAL WOMEN 15th
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — The No. 34-ranked Plattsburgh State women's cross country put yet another strong showing – this time at one of the most prestigious cross country meets in the nation. The Cardinals finished in 15th place out of 39 teams competing at the 39th Annual Paul Short Invitational hosted by Lehigh University.
Some 5,000 runners competed in the race, and the Cardinals were just one of three NCAA Division III squads to post a top-15 finish while competing with teams from Division I and Division II.
It was junior Kelley Driscoll who led the way once again for the Cardinals, taking 37th place in a time of 23:00. The six-kilometer course was traversed by seven Plattsburgh State runners, including senior Amanda Schermerhorn who finished in 75th with a time of 23:35.
Freshman Emma Deshaies and senior Colleen Coon finished within four seconds of each other along with a mass of other athletes. Deshaies posted a time of 23:44 – good for 87th place – while her older counterpart was the last Plattsburgh State runner in the top-100 with a 92nd place time of 23:48.
The Cardinals amassed 450 points in the race, and finished just three spots behind SUNYAC for SUNY Cortland. The Red Dragons and the Cardinals were two of five SUNYAC teams competing in Bethlehem, but were the only two in the top 15.
Up next for the Cardinals is a trip to Saratoga, N.Y., to take part in the Saratoga Invitational hosted by RPI. The meet is scheduled to begin at noon on Saturday, October 6.

Democratic attack distorts McConnell's record
By Angie Drobnic Holan
Published on Monday, July 6th, 2009 at 6:21 p.m.
A television ad from the Democratic National Committee gives the impression that Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell hates jobs, unemployment compensation, health care for little children, and equal pay for women.
The ad makes generalizations about what McConnell opposed, to the point of distorting what his votes actually signified. When we dug into the nitty gritty, we found that McConnell supported alternatives or objected to the legislation for other reasons. Read our complete ruling and how we arrived at our rating of Barely True .

It's one of Ohio's most revered traditions.
The state's week long deer gun hunting season begins Monday.
About 420,000 hunters are expected to participate.
The Ohio Division of Wildlife anticipates between 80,000 to 90,000 deer will be bagged during the hunt.
Last year, nearly 87,000 deer were harvested.
"Well, just like anything else, we have to keep the ecosystem balanced and that's a perfect way to do it," said Amanda Hertzfeld of Bass Pro Shops in Rossford.
Hunters flowed into the store over the weekend buying new guns and loading up on ammo.
Scott Pope says you can't beat the upcoming week.
"I just like to be out in nature. I also like getting a freezer-full of good meat," said Mr. Pope.
Ohio ranks 5th nationally in resident hunters.
The sport has an $87 million economic impact on the state through sales of equipment, fuel, food, lodging and more.
"It's my time for peace and quiet away from factory work," said hunter Scott Wilson.
Chuck Summers enjoys the trips as well.
"It's fun to be out in the wilds and spend time with my sons," said Mr. Summers.
The big change this year is an additional half hour to hunt after sunset.
One thing that never changes is to be safe by wearing required hunter orange clothing.
Finally, deer bag limits continue to be determined by county.
"Obviously, know your regulations in the area. Every county has different regulations. So it's very important to be aware before you decide to just go on out," said Ms. Hertzfeld.
For addition information go to www.wildohio.com.
It's also where hunters can share photos of their deer.

A New Rochelle man received a prison sentence of 30 years to life for murdering his girlfriend during a machete attack last year, the Westchester County District Attorney Janet DiFiore announced today.
Akeem Lindsay, 32, of 309 North Avenue in New Rochelle, was sentenced for the murder of Lisa Stabler, 29. The sentencing comes after a jury found him guilty in May of one count of second-degree murder; a count of first-degree attempted assault; a count of second-degree assault; and a count of third-degree criminal possession of a weapon for the murder.
On Feb. 11, 2011, just before midnight, New Rochelle police responded to a call from a neighbor at 309 North Avenue.
When police arrived, they saw Lindsay covered in blood in a hallway inside an apartment. Lindsay was being restrained by another man when police arrived and the man told police that Lindsay murdered his girlfriend.
A woman who witnessed the attack told police that she had taken a machete from Lindsay and put it under a mattress. Officers entered a bedroom in the apartment and located Stabler, who was unresponsive.
Lindsay was transported to a hospital for treatment of a cut on his hand. A search warrant was also executed and the machete was located.
Lindsay was arrested and told police that he argued with Stabler and struck her several times with the machete while chasing her through the apartment.
Senior Assistant District Attorney Laura Murphy of the Homicide Bureau and Assistant District Attorney Shameika Mathurin of the Career Criminal Bureau prosecuted the case.

Hi everyone, I was sceptical about the mixed reviews regarding this camera here. But I'd say I'm happy with what I got for the price. Importantly the HD recording is one distinctive feature of this camera. See you tube videos showing HD recording with this to believe it. Almost none of the other leading companies give 14 megapixel, 5x optical zoom and HD recording at this price. Photo quality is OK and even a beginner (I'm one) can easily understand and start using it without much fuss. All in all, a "must buy" for people looking for a starter camera to use for the next 2 to 3 ye... (Expand)
Excellent service as always from Flipkart, right from the time it took to deliver this to the packaging.
This is my very first digital camera and for the affordable price of Rs.4800, it has turned out to be a very good buy. Shutter speed and response is fast. The flash is AMAZING! So much detail came out when I turned off the lights in a room and took a shot with the flash. This camera has an uncanny ability to use whatever lighting is there in the room and depending on the angle of the shot, some of the pics came out looking like they had been altered in Photoshop! :) I can see how...

My first Panasonic product. Happy with photo quality. Nice photos in all condition. Automatic scene selection is really helpful feature...But as mentioned in the other preview, button quality especially battery and memory door lock looks fragile. Not so sure about durability.. surprisingly company is offering 3 year warranty... All in all a good pick if you are planning to upgrade in about 2 years

Acure Organics Supports Fair Trade!
Acure Organics uses Fair Trade Certified ingredients in each of their products. Acure Organics wholeheartedly believes in the Fair Trade movement and the impact is has upon people and the planet. Acure Organics is proud licensees of TransFair USA, the most reputable certifier of Fair Trade products around. Acure Organics encourages everyone to buy Fair Trade coffee, tea, cocoa, cocoa butter, fruit, sugar, rice and flowers. All of these are available certified by TransFair USA. Look for their logo and you are guaranteed that your purchase supports true fair trade. Many companies talk about "fair trade" but unless there is a certifying body behind the claim, it is all hot air.
So What Is Fair Trade Certification?
Fair Trade Certification empowers farmers and farm workers to lift themselves out of poverty by investing in their farms and communities, protecting the environment, and developing the business skills necessary to compete in the global marketplace.
Fair Trade is much more than a fair price! Fair Trade principles include:
TransFair USA, a non-profit organization, is the only independent, third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the U.S. TransFair's rigorous audit system, which tracks products from farm to finished product, verifies industry compliance with Fair Trade criteria. TransFair allows U.S. companies to display the Fair Trade Certified label on products that meet strict Fair Trade standards.
TransFair USA, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, is one of twenty members of Fairtrade Labelling Organizations International (FLO) http://www.fairtrade.net/, and the only third-party certifier of Fair Trade products in the United States. We audit transactions between US companies offering Fair Trade Certified products and the international suppliers from whom they source, in order to guarantee that the farmers and farm workers behind Fair Trade Certified goods were paid a fair, above-market price. In addition, annual inspections conducted by FLO ensure that strict socioeconomic development criteria are being met using increased Fair Trade revenues.
There are enormous social benefits to buying fair trade ingredients and products.The Fair Trade Certified label guarantees that farmers and workers received a fair price for their product. The Fair Trade price means that farmers can feed their families and that their children can go to school instead of working in the fields.
By receiving a fair price, Fair Trade producers can avoid cost-cutting practices that sacrifice quality. The Fair Trade producers' traditional artesanal farming methods result in exceptional products.
Most Fair Trade Certified coffee, tea and chocolate in the US is certified organic and shade grown. This means that the products you buy maintain biodiversity, provide shelter for migratory birds and help reduce global warming.
Empowered by the economic stability provided by Fair Trade, members of the COSURCA coffee cooperative in Colombia successfully prevented the cultivation of more than 1,600 acres of coca and poppy, used for the production of illicit drugs. In Papua New Guinea, the AGOGA cooperative, is investing in a medical team to meet the healthcare needs of its isolated rural community. In the highlands of Guatemala, indigenous Tzutuhil Mayans in the La Voz cooperative are sending local kids to college for the first time. Near Lake Titicaca, in Peru, the CECOVASA cooperative is assisting members from Quechua and Aymara indigenous groups in raising coffee quality and transitioning to certified organic production.
Environmental Benefits
Organic food production is a much more natural and sustainable enterprise than conventional farming. This is because organic agriculture does not use any synthetic pesticides or inputs that often remain present in soil and water long after the crops have been harvested, and may potentially create additional damage to ecosystems (such as the current crisis with bee populations). Also, organic agricultural methods encourage recycling, for instance using manure as a natural fertilizer in fields.
Nutrition and Health Benefits
It has been scientifically validated that many organic foods offer higher quantities of important vitamins and nutrients than their conventional counterparts. Certainly, the consumption of organic foods reduces the amount of pesticide residues and other potential toxins ingested. This has proven to be a particularly important benefit for infants and small children.
Social Benefits
Most organic farmers operate smaller scale family farms where they have a strong, personal connection to the land they are farming. The purchase of organic food supports these farmers, their families, and their communities.
Acure Organics Pleadge
Acure Organics always says "create with your conscience". Acure Organics' deep commitments to the environment and their community drives them to create safe, natural and effective products that meet their stringent standards of Quality Assurance.

Tad Boyle's seniors were understandably crestfallen after Colorado's 80-63 loss to Baylor in the third round of the NCAA Tournament on Saturday night at the Pit.
Carlon Brown, Austin Dufault, Trey Eckloff and Nate Tomlinson will be able to smile some day when they think about the role they played in the rise of CU basketball.
"I'm just very proud of our four seniors and the way they've handled themselves all year," Boyle said after the 2011-12 campaign abruptly ended. "They did this program proud."
As true freshmen under Jeff Bzdelik, Dufault, Eckloff and Tomlinson endured a 9-22 campaign that ended with 11 consecutive defeats.
Over the last two years, the group has experienced the only back-to-back 20-win seasons in program history, a trip to the NIT semifinals at Madison Square Garden last March, the Buffs' first Pac-12 Tournament championship, and the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance since 2003.
"I saw the vision when I got there and met Austin and the other guys," Tomlinson said. "We won nine games our first year, and every year we've gotten better. So I think that's a tribute to the guys that are here, the guys that have been through the program, and the coaching staff."
Tomlinson ran Bzdelik's Princeton-style offense for two seasons before adapting to Boyle's fast-break style. Overall, the senior point guard's defense has improved dramatically over the years, although Baylor's Brady Heslip, a sophomore from Burlington, Ontario, was able to knock down several of his nine 3-pointers over CU's Australian import.
During CU's dramatic 63-62 victory over Oregon in the quarterfinals of the Pac-12 Tournament last week, Tomlinson volunteered to guard Devoe Joseph and held the Ducks' star to 12 points on 6-for-19 shooting, including a miss on the potential game-winner at the buzzer.
"I think our one-point win over Oregon gave us a lot of confidence," Boyle reflected on the run after it ended against the uber-talented Bears. "Then we matched up well with Cal and just got on a roll."
Dufault is one of only 19 players in CU history to finish his career with more than 1,000 points and 500 rebounds. The 6-foot-9 forward from Killdeer, N.D., played in more games (136) than anyone in program history and is second in starts (129) behind former teammate Cory Higgins (131).
"Just looking back at the program as I was getting recruited by them, initially I just had a good opportunity to play, so that was one of the main reasons I chose to go there," Dufault said. "The other reason was just the vision that they had for building the program. It was kind of at a low point and there were a lot of quality guys that were already there like Cory Higgins.
"I came in with Nate, and we just had a vision for building a good program there the right way kind of from the ground up. I think this year has culminated in that."
Brown played at Utah for three seasons before transferring to Boulder last year.
The 6-5 guard from Riverside, Calif., led the team in scoring this season and was named the most outstanding player of the Pac-12 Tournament after averaging 15.8 points and 4.8 rebounds to lead CU to the championship at the Staples Center.
During CU's 68-64 win over UNLV in the second round, Brown's late dunk helped get the team to the finish line for its first NCAA Tournament victory in 15 years.
Dufault had 14 points and Brown added 13 points in the loss to Baylor. Tomlinson did not score or have an assist in his final collegiate game, and Eckloff didn't see any action.
It was a forgettable ending for a group that won't be forgotten at CU.
"First, I want to say thank you to them, the four seniors," freshman guard Askia Booker said at Saturday's postgame press conference in the Pit. "Because we wouldn't be in this position without them."

InfoNet Title: Draft Letter to Meissner
Keyword MEISSNER INS
Abstract: This is a draft of a letter AILA proposes sending to
Doris Meissner in response to the recent NY Times articles
discussing corruption at INS. Your thoughts and comments are
September 12, 1994
The Honorable Doris Meissner
U.S. Immigration & Naturalization Service
425 Eye Street, NW
Washington, DC 20536
Dear Ms. Meissner:
We are concerned about the extensive adverse publicity the Service
is receiving in this week's New York Times. We are particularly
aggrieved to read of the continuing abuses engaged in before the
Service by "immigration brokers." AILA has long been concerned at
the proliferation of unlicensed individuals who are encouraged in
their practices of duping thousands of innocent people without
threat of accountability. Without any threat of punishment or
enforcement mechanism regarding their actions, the result is that
the temptation for fraud is too great, the rewards too immediate,
and the threst of punishment too remote.
On the other hand, we continue to believe that we must, as an
organization, ensure the best training possible for individuals who
are qualified to provide services to the immigration consumer.
Providing a complete education to these providers, including
recognized organizations, remains one of our primary goals.
AILA has long held the position that the Service must take decisive
action against the brokers who undermine the efforts of the bar and
other qualified providers. AILA has worked for years to put a stop
to these unauthorized practices. Our most recent efforts to close
down the operations of one of the most notorious of such
individuals in Chicago, in fact, were concluded only last week. If
the Service does not, however, support these efforts with a
universal refusal to work with or accept the work of such brokers,
our efforts will never achieve success.
We take this opportunity to renew our offer to work with your
office to try to hammer out a mutually acceptable position with
regard to the punishment of those unauthorized to perform such
services and to continue to assist in the training of those who are
authorized so that all those with business with the Service may
accomplish it in a complete and efficient manner.
Sincerely yours,
Warren R. Leiden

The collaboration landscape saw some improvement last year, as 2005 was the year challengers to Microsoft Exchange made their case, podcasting became a national pastime, and WebEx's management realized that small customers have money, too.
It might also have been the year that we glimpsed the beginning of the end of the traditional "integrated collaboration environment." What other explanation is there when two of the top three collaboration products release major upgrades -- coincidentally, both IBM Lotus Notes and Novell GroupWise ratcheted themselves to Version 7 within weeks of each other -- but to little more coverage than rewritten press releases and brave-sounding quotes from the conference calls?
Although both IBM and Novell sputter on about solid customer bases, the former's customers are tired of one slideware initiative after another, while those of the latter still have reason to wonder whether there's anything more to collaboration than e-mail and IM.
IBM's talk of an eighth release -- and perhaps a ninth -- of Notes does little more than tease users while they wait for a Workplace that may never arrive. Meanwhile, Novell is struggling to keep its customers long enough to get them moved over to GroupWise-on-Linux.
It's no surprise that some of the loudest buzz this year centered around Linux-based "Exchange killers." While vendors such as Scalix and Zimbra strove to clean out the chunk of the market that requires more than Postfix from their collaboration tools, Microsoft appeased its own customers by delivering a significant service pack for Exchange Server 2003 and announcing the first trials of Exchange Server 12. That would be enough for most people, but on top of that, Microsoft bought Groove Networks and put Ray Ozzie in charge of its collaboration efforts. If Microsoft doesn't actually own the collaboration market, it's so No. 1 that there really is no No. 2.
But the collaboration sphere isn't a permanent satellite of Planet Redmond. Hope appeared when WebEx leapt into the micro-enterprise market by acquiring Intranets.com. The new WebExOne division delivers the "asynchronous" side of collaboration -- calendaring, database management, and document management -- in effect taking a credible intranet-as-a-service package and adding a new $49-per-month Web conferencing feature. If anything's going to kill Exchange, it's a scaled-up version of these services.
Although cynics have tagged podcasting as a flavor of the month, it also appears to be the future for one-way content delivery to niche audiences. The problem remains how to make money narrowcasting in a billing structure built for broadcasting.
Meanwhile, businesses continue to inch toward unified messaging. Although the Holy Grail of a single inbox for e-mail, instant messaging, and voice sounds appealing, customers are taking their time in adopting the concept. Some of this reluctance must stem from the inevitable realization that unified messaging still requires a PBX, as well as a CT (computer telephony) server to connect the PBX to the mail server. If vendors expect widespread adoption of unified messaging, they are living in a dream until they can deliver a solution that requires less hardware instead of more.
In short, more questions were asked about collaboration during 2005 than there were answers. Customers are still trying to decide whether e-mail, instant messaging, and voice mail should be no-frills operations, or if they ought to offer every service conceivable at the expense of compatibility. But there's a future in collaboration-as-a-service; agile vendors such as WebEx are infinitely better placed to deliver something usable than the dinosaurs of years past.

Batch 96
A: Hazy bright gold with a yellow-stained cream head. Great pillowy dense foam head.
S: Started off pungently aromatic and has died down quite a bit, sadly. A lot of vivid, ripe tropical fruits- musty mango and pineapple, sweet grapefruit. Big caramel sweetness - butterscotch/toffee.
Decent pine mintiness and resin to round it out.
T: First hit with a crisp bite of citrus and tropical fruit hop bitterness, then a wash of the resin and pine. The caramel increases with time. Very sticky, pungent fruits - mango and pineapple and tangy orange juice.
P: Big, perfect for a DIPA - medium to full body, sticky and slightly chewy.
O: Fantastic addition to the series, right up there with galaxy and citra

3.11/5 rDev -26.3%
Thanks to Rainblows for this one! Thick, thick pour... wow, this beer looks nearly as thick as some stouts out there. Opaque copper; dingy and sludgy and murky and kind of swampy looking, topped with a soft, off-white head that doesn't waste any time shaving itself away, layer by layer, until only a meek, little film is left, stretched across the mucky brew.
The aroma's got plenty of hops - piney, citric, and coming out strong with a lot of grapefruit pungency. However, I am also sensing an equal, if not, *larger*, presence from the malt. Big-time malty sweetness, caramely and toffee-like with some residual, underlying sugars. It's relatively fresh, so this isn't necessarily hop fade; that's just how it is.
There are certainly more vibrant fruits present from the hops on the palate, including more grapefruit, grapes, and a mild tropical essence. However, the malt is just as amplified - this thing is quite malty. Caramel... sweet, sweet caramel. Normally, I love caramel. But I don't know how I feel about it in this capacity for a double IPA. I'm not totally vibing with it.
Despite the sweet, sticky, and eminently heavy malt attack, Unicorn's Revenge is substantially bitter on the back-end. Once the sweetness fades, it really comes out; staunch, robust, and heavy enough to rip your taste buds away. Sticky, bitter, malty sweet, and lightly fruity. Huge mouth feel... larger than life; thick, swampy, and maybe I can even use the word "chewy" here.
Not bad, but I don't feel the same love for this one as most others. I'm just not a huge fan of malt heavy IPAs or DIPAs, so this one wasn't quite a home run for me. I was hoping for more present flavor from the hops, too, rather than just the contributed bitterness. Glad I had the chance to try it, but I probably wont be trading for it again.

Thanks, Hugonaut13!
Hazed copper with a creamy off-white head. Sticky, lined lacing down the glass.
Lots of melon (combination of honeydew and cantaloupe) in the aroma, along with some sweet citrus components. Enough sweet, bready malt backbone to balance things out. Quite nice.
Bitter and juicy grapefruit flavors combine with the melon found in the aroma. Some bread and sweetness as well. Very well balanced. A touch of an alcohol presence is there on the finish, but it's mild and not distracting.
Medium to near full in body for the style. Moderate carbonation. Very drinkable.
Fantastic Midwest DIPA.

A - Dark orange color with a hazy, thick beer with a small white head
S - Orange, slight floral, pineapple, and pine to it. Great IPA nose on this one
T - Upfront, there is orange and pine with slight bitterness that lingers on the tongue in the finish. Light floral and earthy presence to it as well. Overall, I'd say the flavors are all soft as nothing is too big or standing out.
MF - Big carbonation in this as well with a creamy body with a slight thickness to it. It leaves a hop resin on the tongue in the finish
O - Solid beer that makes a good impression with the New Zealand hops. Has a good balance between citrus and pine to it. Good flavor throughout.

Batch 130
(Served in a teku)
A- This beer pours a slightly hazy deep copper body with a thick pale white head that is thick and supported by a sluggish carbonation of microbubbles.
S- The rich jammy green fruit cocktail aroma during the pour turns a spicy hop in the finish the aroma is rather fleeting.
T- The big pungent hop bite in the finish clings to the tongue in the after taste. There is some toasted malt hints that blend into the background and offer some support of the big hop flavor.
M- The medium-full mouthfeel has a warm alcohol heat that kicks up the bitterness level as it opens.
O- Nice hop aroma that fades pretty quickly and the taste is a full spicy pungent hops and alcohol heat blended together. There doesn't seem to be much depth or hop flavor in the taste and it lessens as the beer opens.

Bright rusty orange, translucent, and an appreciable white head to it.
It smells fruity as hell with sweet but not bitter tropical fruits, specifically mango and papaya. Light floral notes and a whiff of baby powder. Hmm.
Sweet tropical fruits and lilac flavors with a sugary sweetness. Bubble gum, too. It's boozy as fuck.
Mouthfeel is heavy and a bit oily, but good carbonation.
Pipeworks just keeps cranking out solid beer after solid beer. This one isn't as clean as some of the other "ninja/unicorn" series, but it packs a much more boozy punch.

Saturated dark orange color, copious foam and lace coating the opposite side of the glass. Clusters of bubbles raft on over to the sides of the glass.
Fruity aroma, candied orange peel and dried mango, some leafy green resin and pale malt under the surface.
Flavors follow suit, orange/mango/cantaloupe fruitiness, resiny green hop undercurrent, hint of pale malt again. A little bit of earthy mango in the aftertaste. Medium bodied and drinkable as all Pipeworks DIPA's have been, this one seems to be a variation on a theme, though not straying far into unique territory.

Also, staff were not well trained - staff continually get our orders mixed up, serving us wrong cutlery, wrong dishes, etc. Come on, COSTA. But I suspect the real reason for this is not incompetence but FATIGUE. Costa's contract staff are working 12 hour SHIFTS - OMG - for 9 months without off days. This is after I spoke to several staff and they all told us the same thing - Costa's Italian management hire these Asian people to work 12 hour shifts DAILY without any off days - is this even legal?????
Also, in the buffet restaurant for breakfast, lunch and dinner, the food is the SAME EVERY SINGLE DAY omg. it is just simply awful. There is no such thing as luxury on this boat just expect lots of mass tourism with MANY MANY MANY ITALIAN badly behaving TOURISTS who jump queues etc etc.
The Italian staff on the ship need to simply learn the meaning of H O S P I T A L I T Y - they NEVER smile, look arrogant.

What It Really Costs To Mine Gold: The Yamana Gold Second Quarter Edition
Hebba Investments • Thu, Aug. 7
- Yamana's core costs dropped on both a year-over-year and sequential basis which is positive for the company.
- Investors should also pay attention to core non-tax costs which actually rose as this quarter saw a large tax refund.
- The company has more work to do to lower costs to reach its low-cost competitors.
- Too early for investors to accurately evaluate costs as the Malartic mine acquisition significantly changes the company's production profile.

There are few more memorable instances of the jab being utilized so effectively and frequently in mixed martial arts as the technical clinic that Josh Koscheck was treated to by UFC welterweight demi-god, Georges St. Pierre. Throughout the fight St. Pierre took Kosheck off guard by actively circling into Koscheck's powerful right hand and performing what is known as a Safety Lead. The general consensus among coaches has been that if an opponent has only one power punch you should spend your time circling away from it - something which many one handed power punchers learn to expect. St. Pierre's circling toward's Koscheck's right seemed counter-intuitive, but as he performed a perfect Safety Lead he was able to hide behind his shoulder all night as he punished the challenger at every turn. Today we will look at St. Pierre's ridiculously accurate jab and the Safety Lead.
Here is what the great Edwin Haislet had to say on Safety Leading:
Leading with the left hand, guarding with the right while moving to the left, makes negligible any opening that ordinarily results from a straight left lead...
Assume the fundamental position. Shuffle forward to attack. As the hitting range is approached, jab with the left hand while stepping to the left, and at the same time force the right arn out into the position of a leverage guard, Carry the left shoulder high to protect the chin from the opponent's right hand. Hold the right hand in readiness for the opponent's return jab.
The important points in jabbing while circling towards the opponent's power hand then are that the lead shoulder be high, the head be slightly off line, and that the distance be kept appropriate so that they struggle to reach you. St. Pierre performed this masterfully. Below are the two variations of jab that St. Pierre used throughout the bout:
1. GSP approaches Koscheck.
2. GSP steps his left foot out to the side and jabs in at Koscheck from almost forty five degrees to the challenger's right. This is the Safety Lead - notice how GSP's shoulder protects his jaw and his lead foot is turned in.
3. GSP has Koscheck worried by feints.
4. GSP thrusts straight in with a long jab. Notice how side on St. Pierre is - this maximises his reach but takes away his ability to throw his right hand.
Here is another example of GSP's Safety Lead just seconds after the one above:
1. GSP appraoches.
2. St. Pierre steps off to the left - landing the jab again from an angle. The black mark indicates where GSP's foot began.
In moments of defense, however, St. Pierre would concede to circling away from Koscheck's power hand. These moments were few and far between though as Koscheck gritted his teeth through the continued damage to his eye and attempted to charge the champion. Notice that as Koscheck backs St. Pierre up towards the fence St. Pierre extends his lead hand into Koscheck's face to slow him down and then circles out to the right. Notice that St. Pierre keeps his hand closed where Koscheck, Chuck Liddell, Jon Jones and many others have been happy to let the opponent run his eyes onto their open fingers. Not an active foul but seen by many fans as poor sportsmanship.
By the second round St. Pierre added a new trick - the inside low kick. He performed this as he stepped off as if to do a Safety Lead. Stepping to the left, drawing up and inside low kicking is a technique which is very popular in Kyokushin karate competition.
1. St. Pierre approaches.
2. St. Pierre steps off at forty five degrees as if to circle and perform the safety lead but instead steps his right foot up to his left as Koscheck covers.
3. St. Pierre lands a hard inside low kick.
Finally in the fourth round St. Pierre introduced his left hook - the same technique which he used to drop Thiago Alves. It is a testament to Koscheck's grit that he remained standing while taking flush hooks from the champion. Below St. Pierre uses the classic faked jab to lead hook set up.
1. St. Pierre steps his lead foot out as if to perform the Safety Lead yet again. Notice that he keeps his toes turned in.
2. As Koscheck covers GSP drops his lead hand.
3. Driving off of his lead foot (which is turned inward) St. Pierre swings in the hook onto Koscheck's jaw.
The fight was an absolutely beautiful demonstration of basic set ups being used in perfect sequence. Every time that Koscheck became accustomed to what St. Pierre was showing him, St. Pierre would add one more technique to the mix and throw Koscheck off yet again. This was truly science against power, and the power puncher came out looking badly hurt while the scientist came out fresh and unharmed. There was plenty of subtlety in the fight which I haven't even touched on such as St. Pierre's feints (very hard to capture in screen shots). St. Pierre would fake three jabs just to land one hard one, or would jab and then feint twice just to make Josh Koscheck cover up and tire himself. The one criticism that could be made of St. Pierre's performance was that he didn't commit to his right hand at all. (G)
The Safety Lead carries a fighter to his left, placing the opponent in front of his right shoulder - producing a shortened path for a hard right straight - yet when St. Pierre attempted right hands off of the Safety Lead he cut them short and didn't look as if he even intended to connect. The same was evident against Jake Shields - St. Pierre's right hands there were looping and clumsy - where the rest of his game was brilliant. During the course of learning to box well it seems that St. Pierre has forgotten the functional, biting right straight that he had early in his octagon career. With St. Pierre returning from injury soon I hope to see the most rounded fighter in the sport add the right hand back into his game and live up to his promise of finishing more opponents. Of course it remains to be seen whether St. Pierre will even be able to counter the tradition of great fighters (and athletes) never being the same after a knee injury.

Highland Park Grace Quirk plays defense during the Niles North and Highland Park girls high school basketball game on Friday, January 25, 2013. I Stacie Scott~Sun-Times Media
Highland Park's girls basketball team won its third consecutive Central Suburban League North championship Friday.
That's no small feat, even in a conference that features just three teams — Highland Park, Maine East and Maine West — with winning records.
The Giants have accomplished their trifecta behind the brilliance of Lena Munzer, who will graduate this year as the most decorated girls basketball player in school history. Basketball, though, is a team game.
"We are really close. Going in we had eight new players on the team," said Munzer, who has played on varsity since her freshman year. "It was harder to get to where we are. I'm impressed we've been able to do that. The chemistry feels more comfortable."
That comfort level is no more apparent than in the emergence of Grace Quirk.
A 5-foot-9 sophomore, Quirk is the lone underclassman on the varsity. It would be easy to assume she had difficulty inserting herself into a culture of players older and more experienced. But since cracking the starting lineup against Glenbrook North Dec. 14, Quirk has acted as though she deserved to be there from the start. Her on-court play has been consistent; she registered 13 points, five rebounds and three assists in the Giants' 49-31 conference-clinching win over Niles North.
Her strong hands — developed playing soccer, where she was a starting varsity goalie as a freshman — allow Quirk to control Munzer's shot-out-of-a-cannon passes. Her intangibles have teammates raving.
"When we need a pick-up she knows what to say and when to say it," junior Lucy Hoffman said. "Her timing is great."
All season, the Giants have stressed defensive intensity. Late in the first half Friday, the Giants forced a five-second call on Vikings junior point guard Alyssa Brand.
"On defense, we want to get those calls. Grace went nuts," Munzer said. "She was clapping, so energized. It really pumped me up."
Quirk added: "Our bench went crazy. I was so excited. If I get excited, it's contagious."
And persistent. A few minutes later, as the team gathered inside the visiting locker room at halftime, all the players took their seats, waiting for coach Jolie Bechtel to enter.
Except Quirk, who couldn't sit down, her teammates said. The five-second call lingered.
Said the pacing Giant: "This is awesome."
"That was fuel for us the rest of the game," Hoffman said.
Plenty of food — highlighted by a barbecue chicken pizza — was served at the postgame celebration party at a Highwood restaurant. The team talked about what's still possible: two more CSL North wins, an undefeated conference season, a regional title, and more.
This year's Giants just might reach those goals. Just look at Quirk — not waiting to be given permission to lead, she just went ahead and did it.
"A lot of teams warming up (before games) don't want to be there and we do," Quirk said. "If our team is having the time of our lives, everyone is jealous because we are having so much fun. We love winning." ~.

Fans of TLC's "The Little Couple" were shocked when matriarch Jen Arnold announced she had been diagnosed with a rare cancer this month. Now, she is sharing some details about her disease and her treatment, and her outlook seems to be positive. Arnold has choriocarcinoma, which affects parts of the reproductive system. She told People magazine the cancer began after she had a "nonviable pregnancy" this year and suffered symptoms while in India with her husband to pick up their adopted daughter, Zoey. Arnold has since had a hysterectomy and is now in chemotherapy. During the holiday season, Arnold has been tweeting lots of hopeful messages and updates about her condition. She even posted a picture from her inpatient chemo treatment -- bald and in bed, but with bright eyes and a smile. She also shared that she had to cancel a pre-Christmas chemo treatment because of low blood counts, which gave her the opportunity to bake cookies and partake in other holiday festivities with her family.The TLC star told The Huffington Post that despite the grueling treatments, she is lucky. "I am very fortunate as the prognosis is good. While there is never a good time to get news like this, getting it just as we are building our new family is tough in many ways," she said. "But being surrounded by the love of my husband and our two beautiful children is actually in many ways giving me the strength to fight it even stronger."Arnold is also a board-certified neonatologist and pediatrician, so her medical background has definitely played into her get-well strategy. Fans from around the globe have been sharing messages of support, along with pictures of children close to them who have experienced medical problems and been helped by doctors like Arnold. Bill Klein, Arnold's husband, has also taken his wife's treatments with a bit of levity. "Did Jens injection ... Jens scared ill pass out giving the injection," he tweeted. "Funny, so am I."The "Little Couple" stars have previously experienced tragedy in the public eye: In 2011, a joyous pregnancy announcement ended in sadness when Arnold and Klein revealed their surrogate had miscarried their unborn child. As Arnold's cancer treatments progress, the cameras will continue to roll, the family says. And her battle with the disease will play out on their show. "Jen is a doctor and teacher, and she saw this as an opportunity to educate and possibly help, through sharing her story," a TLC representative told People. While the road before her may be difficult, it's clear that Arnold has the support of her fans and family, and she's not giving up anytime soon. "Thank you to everyone for your well wishes at #GetWellJen!," she tweeted at the beginning of December. "You all make me smile! To those out there battling cancer, Get Well!"

Claude Henderson is suing for police brutality over an incident caught on Norwood Police Department's surveillance video.
The lawsuit involves Robert 'Bobby' Ward, the same officer who was forced to
resign after pleading no contest to throwing Denise Diallo against a
wall in a holding cell inside the Norwood police station. Also included in Henderson's lawsuit are Sgt. Tim Buchanan, Chief William Kramer, John Does and the City of Norwood.
Ward was
charged and convicted of misdemeanor assault. He was sentenced to 60 days of house arrest in November and was placed on one
year probation.
On Tuesday, Prosecutor Joe Deters' office said it plans to turn Henderson's case over to a special prosecutor for review to see if criminal charges should be filed. Deter's office cannot prosecute the case because of a conflict of interest due to frequently working with the Norwood Police Department.
In November of 2011, Claude Henderson complained that someone at the police station stole $10 out of his wallet while being questioned about a minor misdemeanor incident. A confrontation then ensued, caught on video.
In the official police report, it says Henderson became violent
towards a sergeant in the lobby, cursed at the officer and was told he was under arrest. It says he did not comply and therefore, had to be restrained
by officers. However, Henderson disagrees with that account.
Questions have been raised as to whether or not the incident should be considered a felony. Deter's office defined felony as 'the intent to
cause serious bodily harm'.
However, another legal expert who didn't want to be identified said, "Courts
have recognized that if injuries to the victim are serious enough to cause him
or her to seek medical treatment it can be Felonious Assault."
Both Norwood's Police Chief and Law Director refused to comment on the Henderson case because the lawsuit is ongoing.

TomTom Fires Back in Microsoft Patent War
Navigation software maker TomTom is now beating its drums against Microsoft for patent rights and has aligned with the Open Invention Network.
Responding to Microsoft's allegation that TomTom violated eight of its patents (see also), the Dutch manufacturer of navigation software is now fighting back. March 16 TomTom filed a patent infringement countersuit in Virginia federal court and also joined the Open Invention Network (OIN) to get a thicker shield against Microsoft.
OIN, to which also Google, IBM, Red Hat, Sony and Novell subscribe among other firms, is committed to rapid software innovation and "a refined model of intellectual property management" that safeguards open source rights. It does this by acquiring software patents and awarding them to individuals with the condition that they not claim against Linux or any of its associated firms. OIN also cooperates with Linux Defenders and the Software Freedom Law Center (SFLC).
TomTom is now in a proper defensive position with its portfolio of patents and the legal support at its back. It claims that Microsoft violates four of its patents with its Streets and Trips product. Even though Microsoft general counsel Horacio Gutierrez emphasizes that the earlier MS lawsuit against TomTom is not against Linux in general, a successful outcome could negatively impact its Linux rivals.
Whether Microsoft's patents have any validity is something OIN will have to work out. The project is searching for prior art to determine if earlier patent algorithms had already existed before the patents were filed. The Microsoft-TomTom battle continues.

text: A wide range of changes continue to take place at wide receiver for the Rams, who are hoping the addition of Mark Clayton, who was finally activated off the physically-unable-to-perform list, will offset the season-ending loss of rookie Greg Salas. Salas had shown steady improvement in the slot in place of the injured Danny Amendola and was the team leader in receptions when he broke his leg late in the loss to the Cardinals. Salas is expected to be replaced primarily by fellow rookie Austin Pettis, although we hear it's quite possible Clayton, who played the slot his first two seasons in Baltimore, could see action at that position. After struggling early, Pettis has come on a bit, both as a receiver and as a punt returner. "He's playing faster, and not thinking things out as much," one daily team observer said of Pettis. "He's not as good after the catch as Salas, but he can really snatch the ball."

Houma, La.- Suspicious store clerks helped Houma Police make a drug arrest.
Convenience store workers, alarmed by a man's behavior called Houma Police because they were afraid he would get back in his car and drive.
Investigators say the clerks said as they spoke to the man, they become convinced he was under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Officers arriving on the scene who spoke with Cameron S. Chauvin agreed with that assessment. And when Houma Police K-9 got a whiff of the suspect's car, he alerted them to the possibility of narcotics inside. Investigators say a search of the car turned up suspected heroin and marijuana as well as a hypodermic needle and other drug paraphernalia.
Chauvin, 21, was arrested and booked with disturbing the peace, possession of heroin and marijuana and unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia.
