Portlandia will woo you. Shack up downtown at The Nines, a historic department store that's been refashioned into a stylish hotel. The streetcar stops right outside, and the city is crosshatched with bike lanes. But just pedaling along the Willamette River with a rental from Waterfront Bicycles may be all you have time for this weekend. Across the water, boho Burnside Street has record stores and cafés, while the Mississippi Marketplace in the Boise neighborhood offers a cluster of popular food carts (the Big Egg's Monte Cristo has melted hearts). Farther south, on Division Street, Pok Pok serves Vietnamese street food-inspired fish sauce wings and drinking vinegars. About a mile away, caffeinate with a lauded ristretto at Stumptown Coffee Roasters. Back near downtown in the arty Pearl District, the Blue Heron at BridgePort Brewing Company is a sudsy delight, while the off-menu burger at Gabe Rucker's Frenchy bistro Little Bird has the James Beard stamp of approval.

The new 'Gravity' trailer is terrifyingWednesday, July 24th, 2013
Gravity, the next film from Alfonso Cuarón (whose credits include Children of Men, Y Tu Mamá También and Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban), has a second trailer out now.
The movie, starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney, follows astronauts who are trying to survive and return to Earth after debris crashes into their space shuttle and leaves them drifting aimlessly. It's easy to agree that drifting aimlessly in space = Pure. Human. Terror.
Check out the trailer below.

Police are warning last-minute Christmas shoppers to be careful while they search for gifts. Thieves are known to take advantage of the holiday crush.According to Officer Mike Bowman of the Cobb County Police Department, 60 percent of the major crimes in the county involve entering automobiles. During the holidays, break-ins are especially prevalent.Bowman reminded shoppers not to leave valuable items in the car. Shoppers should also visit stores in the daylight as much as possible. If shopping at night, park in a well-lit area and shop with another person. Don't buy more than you can carry and always be aware of your surroundings, Bowman said.

Harry Potter cast members Jason Isaacs and Helen McCrory who portray Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy pose during an interview with The Associated Press in London, Tuesday, July 5, 2011. So this is the face of evil ice-blue eyes, imperious brow, the sculpted features of Lucius Malfoy, muggle-hating wizard supremacist and implacable foe of Harry Potter. As Malfoy, actor Jason Isaacs has plumbed his character's dark heart and chilled millions of moviegoers since he appeared in "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" in 2002. So it comes as a surprise to hear the British performer renounce evil. There is, he says, no such thing. Even arch-villain Lord Voldemort is not so much wicked as misguided. (AP Photo/Matt Dunham)

Perl scripts watch Amazon prices
If you are a bargain hunter, you might enjoy this Perl script that monitors price developments at Amazon and alerts you if Amazon suddenly drops the prices on the products you have been watching.
Should I buy the digital camera that caught my eye recently? Should I wait until the price drops? These questions are difficult to answer, but a glance at the price developments over the past few months could tell you where the prices are heading.
If Amazon offered a price history for its products – something similar to the share prices on major financial pages – customers might be annoyed about missing bargains. Or they might speculate on prices continuing to drop and wait for a more favorable opportunity. The online shopping site does not offer this service yet, so you'll have to set it up yourself.

Ky. Baptists pass 'no confidence' vote, elect layman, end ties with college

PADUCAH, Ky. (BP) -- Messengers to the Kentucky Baptist Convention's annual meeting conveyed a "no-confidence" vote in the leadership of Sunrise Children's Services, ended a partnership agreement with Georgetown College, elected a layman as its new president and rejoiced in more than 330 decisions for Christ through pre-convention outreach.
The 666 registered messengers, through resolutions, also challenged Kentucky Baptists to make a commitment to child safety in their lives and their churches and expressed appreciation to R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in recognition of his 20 years of service.
Total attendance exceeded 1,100, including more than 440 church members, for the convention's two sessions Nov. 12 at Lone Oak First Baptist Church in Paducah.
Messengers overwhelmingly passed a vote of no confidence in the leadership of Bill Smithwick, president of Sunrise Children's Services.
The action follows weeks of controversy surrounding a proposed change to the agency's hiring practices to permit employment of homosexuals. Smithwick, who has served as Sunrise's president for 16 years, has described the proposed change as a pre-emptive action to sustain government funding. The agency receives approximately $1 million of its $27 million budget from Kentucky Baptists.
Sunrise's board, however, voted Nov. 8 to continue its current hiring practices in response to the growing concern of Kentucky Baptists.
The motion for a vote of no confidence was brought by Tommy Tapscott, second vice president of the KBC. Messengers later approved recommendations from the KBC committee on nominations to replace a slate of nominees to serve on Sunrise's board and to fill five other vacancies. (A Nov. 14 report on the convention's report can be accessed
Messengers voted to officially conclude the KBC's partnership agreement with Georgetown College on Nov. 12, 2014.
The partnership agreement was formed after Georgetown requested to end its covenant agreement with the KBC in 2005 to establish a self-perpetuating board of trustees and to meet Phi Beta Kappa academic standards and expand its donor base.
Following Georgetown's decision to withdraw from the covenant relationship, Kentucky Baptists adopted the partnership arrangement to guide its future involvement with the college.
In 2010, a special committee to review the partnership with Georgetown recommended that the convention forego the partnership to place greater focus on affiliated agencies and institutions in covenant agreements with the convention. Georgetown has not received Cooperative Program support since 2009.
The KBC Mission Board originally proposed the move prior to the 2012 annual meeting, but convention action was postponed for one year while the college searched for a new president following the retirement of Bill Crouch.
KBC Executive Director Paul Chitwood told messengers he recently had met with Georgetown's new president, Dwaine Greene, and both had agreed to conclude the partnership.
Alan Reddit, pastor of Georgetown Baptist Church, opposed the action on procedural grounds, contending that messengers had not been given sufficient notice since the Mission Board's recommendation had not been published in the Western Recorder state paper 30 days prior to the annual meeting. Reddit requested that action be delayed for another year, allowing time for Georgetown's new president to set its direction.
Parliamentarian Adam Greenway, however, explained that bylaw and reporting requirements had been satisfied when the recommendation was postponed last November.
Chip Hutcheson, editor and publisher of the Princeton Times-Leader and The Eagle Post of Oak Grove, was elected by acclamation as the KBC's new president -- the sixth layman elected to the post in the past 75 years.
A deacon at Southside Baptist Church in Princeton, Hutcheson has served on the KBC's public affairs committee and currently is a trustee for the Western Recorder.
Serving with Hutcheson, also by acclamation, will be: first vice president, Kevin Milburn, pastor of Union Baptist Church near Florence, and second vice president, Ed Amundson, pastor of High Street Baptist Church in Somerset.
A Cooperative Program budget goal of $22.5 million for 2014-15 was approved by messengers, equal to the current budget. CP gifts from Kentucky churches will be divided evenly between KBC ministries and Southern Baptist Convention causes, after 7 percent has been set aside for Cooperative Program resourcing.
The convention welcomed 12 churches as new KBC affiliates and accepted four congregations under watchcare.
In other business, messengers approved allowing the Kentucky Baptist Foundation to use any undesignated bequests for the work of the foundation.
And they heard first readings of two proposed changes to the KBC constitution and bylaws. The first specifies that trustees of the KBC Mission Board or its affiliated agencies and institutions will be members of cooperating churches, which previously were defined as those that contribute to the Cooperative Program and submit an Annual Church Profile. The other removes a mention of the president of Kentucky Baptist Men on Mission because its steering committee no longer exists.
Next year's annual meeting will be held Nov. 11 at Living Hope Baptist Church in Bowling Green, with Curtis Woods, the KBC's associate executive director, delivering the convention sermon.
Prior to the annual meeting, Kentucky Baptists converged on the western part of the state for RISK: Paducah, a series of outreach events that included prison ministry, wild game dinners, sports camps, revivals and a quilting seminar.
The first-ever RISK (Reaching Into the State of Kentucky) initiative resulted in a total of 331 decisions to follow Christ, reported Chuck McAlister, leader of KBC's evangelism, church planting and collegiate ministries team. McAlister said the RISK events may become a regular pre-convention outreach in annual meeting cities.

3-6 Preparation of a Bacterial Smear for Staining
(86170 Reads)
Table of Contents| Chapter Article List| Printable Version | Printable Chapter[Prev] | [Next]
Before staining and observing a microbe under a microscope, a smear must be prepared. The goal of smear preparation is to place an appropriate concentration of cells on a slide and then cement them there so that they do not wash off during the subsequent staining procedure. Figure 3-4 demonstrates smear preparation.
The best smears are made from bacteria that have grown on a solid surface such as an agar slant or plate. A bit of growth from a culture is mixed with distilled or tap water to form a slightly turbid solution and this is spread on a clean grease free slide. When staining broth cultures, a drop of broth is transferred directly to a slide, using no extra water. The procedure for making a smear is as follows:

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. - Former Jacksonville University volleyball standout Aiko Beltran has been named assistant volleyball coach, first-year coach Robin Mignerey announced today.
Beltran joins the staff as a full-time coach after starting at setter for JU from 1995-98 and spending the 1999 season as a student assistant.
"Her position expertise will be a big plus for us," Mignerey said. "She was a great player during her career at JU, and she should be able to translate that into a good coaching career."
A native of Dallas, Texas, Beltran set six school records, including assists in a season (1,123 in 1997), season assists per game (9.84 in 1998) and career assists per game (9.15).

Beltran's previous coaching experience includes a two-year stint as head coach in the Jacksonville Juniors Volleyball Association, as well as summer stints coaching setters at Southern Methodist University and Arlington (Texas) High School. Beltran earned her B.A. in sociology from JU in May.

Astigmatism Overview
In order to see clearly, the eye must be able to focus light into a single plane onto the back of the eye at the retina. The word astigmatism comes from the Greek "a" meaning "without" and "stigma" meaning "spot." In astigmatism, a point (or spot) of light is focused at two different planes, causing blurred vision. An optical system (or eye) without astigmatism has only one focus for all rays of light. An optical system with astigmatism is one where rays that propagate in two perpendicular planes have different foci. For example, if an optical system with astigmatism is used to form an image of a plus sign, the vertical and horizontal lines will never be in focus at the same time, since they are in sharp focus at two distinctly different distances. In an eye without astigmatism, the surface of the cornea is shaped like a Ping-Pong ball, where all the curves are the same. This is called a spherical surface. In an eye with astigmatism, the surface of the cornea is shaped more like a football, where there are two different surface curves located 90 degrees apart. This is called a toric surface.

The Brewers went into the bottom of the fifth trailing the Cardinals 7-2. They emerged from the bottom of the fifth trailing 7-2. For this, they have both themselves to blame, and another guy to blame.
Edwin Jackson started the inning, but did not start it well - he walked Corey Hart to lead off, and two batters later, he allowed Ryan Braun to smoke an automatic double to center field. That double chased Jackson from the game after 82 pitches, as Tony La Russa decided it was time to start playing the matchups.
In came Arthur Rhodes to pitch to Prince Fielder, and Rhodes walked Fielder on six pitches. That loaded the bases with one out for Rickie Weeks.
So that brought La Russa out of the dugout again, as he called on Lance Lynn. On Lynn's first pitch to Weeks - a low, away curve - he got the result he wanted, as Weeks bounced a grounder to short. Rafael Furcal flipped the ball to Nick Punto, who threw to Albert Pujols to complete the inning-ending 6-4-3 double play.
You can't really tell there, but Weeks was - very barely - safe at first, as his foot beat the ball to the bag. Sam Holbrook didn't think so, costing the Brewers at least one run. That one run would've only changed this from a 7-2 game to a 7-3 game, but the Brewers have sufficiently explosive an offense that that call could be a pretty big call.
Weeks produced a lousy ball in play, and that's his own fault. But that double play wasn't a double play, and well, it's a shame these things have to happen.

Optic Disc
The optic disc is the point inside the eye where the nerve that leads from the eye to the brain (optic nerve) leaves the eye. The inner part of the optic disc is a depression called the optic cup.
In people with glaucoma, nerve fibers die, causing a loss of the nerve tissue inside the optic disc. As a result, the size of the optic cup appears larger.

UPDATE: Spokane murder suspect Joshua Tillery is in custody, according to the Spokane Police Dept. He was located at about 11:15am on Wednesday at a residence in the 2000 block of N. Ruby. As soon as we learn more details we'll post them here on KHQ.com, Facebook and our Twitter news feed.
SPOKANE, Wash – Spokane Police announced Monday afternoon an arrest warrant has been filed for Joshua Tillery, 33, on a charge of 2nd degree murder in the shooting death of Devon Mack, 33.
The shooting happened at a home in the 4500 block of North Lincoln around 5:30p.m. Friday, and the major crimes unit was there for hours to investigate.
"We had detectives working on it all weekend, we interviewed everyone we believe was at the scene except for Mr. Tillery," Lt. Mark Griffiths told KHQ Monday.
Newly released court documents show that Tillery and Mack got into a fight at that home, and Tillery said, "Don't make me shoot you."
Another woman at the house went outside to call police, and reported hearing a gun shot. When she came back in, Mack, known as "D-Mac" to his friends, was dead on the ground and Tillery was standing next to him with a black pistol.
Tillery reportedly said that he didn't mean for the gun to go off, and then told another woman at the home, Tara Rader, "You have to get me out of here."
Rader and Tillery left the scene of a shooting in a 2006 Pontiac Grand Prix, and Tillery was seen still holding the weapon.
Police later identified both Rader and Tillery as people of interest in the case. They have since contacted Rader, and she is not facing any charges at this point.
"Down the road we may look at charges, but right now our focus is Mr. Tillery as our prime suspect in this case," Lt. Griffiths added.
Spokane Police told KHQ they believe Tillery is still in the Spokane area, and may be hiding with friends or family. He has a lengthy criminal history in California for possession of a stolen vehicle, vandalism, possession of drugs, DUI, and possession of stolen property. He is currently wanted in Washington on a misdemeanor weapons violation – in addition to the new murder charge.
Police would not comment on the relationship between Tillery and Mack.
They believe Tillery is dangerous, and are hoping he will turn himself in. If you see him, call 911.

FDA Food Safety Modernization Act:
Proposed Rules on Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) and the Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors/Certification Bodies; Public Meeting
Sponsored by U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
To discuss two proposed rules aimed at strengthening assurances that imported food meets the same safety standards as food produced domestically. The Foreign Supplier Verification Programs (FSVP) proposal establishes standards for importers to verify that their foreign suppliers are implementing the modern, prevention-oriented food safety practices called for by the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and achieving the same level of food safety as domestic growers and processors.
The second rule on the Accreditation of Third-Party Auditors/Certification Bodies is meant to strengthen the quality, objectivity, and transparency of private food safety audits on which many U.S. food companies and importers currently rely to help manage the safety of their global food supply chains. The purpose of the public meeting is to solicit oral stakeholder and public comments on the proposed rules, to inform the public about the rulemaking process (including how to submit comments, data, and other information to the rulemaking dockets), and to respond to questions about the proposed rules.

On a brilliant, sunny Tuesday morning, Sept. 11, 2001, the United States shifted from a nation vaguely concerned about its enemies around the world to a nation ready to declare war on terrorists and on the countries that house and support them.

9:03 a.m. EDT: United Airlines Flight 175 flies directly into the south tower of the World Trade Center, touching off what would become twin infernos, trapping thousands of workers.
9:37 a.m. EDT: American Airlines Flight 77 crashes into one of the five faces of the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia.

Three Triton Regional High School teachers allegedly carried on sexual relationship with now-former students while two administrators covered up the reported sex crimes, the Camden County Prosecutor's Office announced Thursday.
The teachers—Jeffrey Logandro, Nicholas Martinelli and Daniel Michielli—were placed on administrative leave at separate times in the investigation late this summer and earlier in the school year.
Logandro, of Deptford, and Michielli, of Blackwood, are charged with a number of sex crimes for alleged contact with underaged victims. Martinelli, of Cherry Hill, has only been charged with official misconduct at this point, as his alleged victim was 18 at the time.
Also charged in connection with the prosecutor's office probe are Triton principal Catherine DePaul and vice principal Jernee Kollock, who allegedly knew about the teachers' relationships with the students, but did not report them to authorities.
DePaul and Kollock, who has been vice-principal at Timber Creek Regional High School—like Triton, a Black Horse Pike Regional School District (BHPRSD) school—since the start of the 2012-13 school year, were taken off the job Wednesday and suspended.
All five educators were arrested Thursday. They were processed and released pending initial court appearances, scheduled for Oct. 11.
(Click on the PDF, right, to read the complaints against the five people charged.)
Prosecutor Warren W. Faulk noted during a press conference at his Camden office Thursday afternoon that the Triton investigation is ongoing. The two-month probe has thus far uncovered "individual and personal moral, ethical, and legal failures on the part of the charged teachers and administrators," he said.
"It's obvious there existed a culture at Triton High School whereby teachers thought they could get away with the relationships with their students, and administrators turned a blind eye to evidence of these relationships' existence," Faulk said.
Explicit text messages uncovered
While BHPRSD had policies in place to bar teacher-student contact outside of school-sanctioned instructional time and extracurricular activities, those rules were ignored by the three teachers and their alleged victims, according to Faulk.
"Our investigation revealed that despite rules and regulations prohibiting it, the improper relationships between the teachers and students were fostered through social media as well as socializing in person outside the school," the prosecutor said. "Indeed, we uncovered evidence of exchanges of sexually explicit text messages during instructional periods."
BHPRSD Superintendent John Golden indicated the district has already begun reviewing "existing policies, protocol and training and education materials to prevent this from happening again."
One of the teachers drove his alleged victim to Ocean City during spring break and fraternized with the girl and other students there, Faulk said.
Faulk declined to answer reporters' questions about whether the teachers or victims were aware of the others' relationships.
Principal tried to protect teachers
A female student told a substitute teacher at Triton that teachers and students were engaging in sexual activity in April. The substitute forwarded that information to DePaul, the school principal, according to documents.
Kollock, the former Triton vice principal, allegedly stayed in a room with the student, who is not one of the three victims, as she wrote a statement regarding the allegations. She advised the student what to write and corrected her English, Faulk said.
According to a probable cause statement, DePaul told investigators she had tried to protect the teachers from the consequences of their actions.
Golden issued a written statement through Philadelphia public relations firm Braithwaite Communications that read, in part:
Let me be clear, we have zero tolerance for sexual misconduct and inappropriate behavior of any kind. As educators and community members nothng is more important to us than the safety and well-being of our students.
Golden added the district is cooperating with the ongoing investigation and is offering counseling to any students who need it.
The three former students—all females—reportedly graduated from the Runnemede school in June 2012. They have not been identified.
The alleged sexual relationships took place between November 2011 and June 2012, according to the prosecutor's office.
Logandro and Michielli's alleged victims were 17. Both men are charged with second-degree endangering the welfare of a child and official misconduct and fourth-degree criminal sexual contact.
Michielli is additionally charged with second-degree sexual assault.
Faulk noted Martinelli's victim was an adult when the alleged teacher-student sexual activity occurred, resulting in just the second-degree official misconduct charge.
Martinelli "is charged only with official misconduct because his victim was 18 years of age when he engaged in the improper relations with her," the prosecutor said.
Both DePaul and Kollock are also charged with second-degree official misconduct, and a disorderly persons offense of failing to report the teachers' misconduct.
Each second-degree crime carries a maximum prison sentence of 10 years. The maximum sentence on the fourth-degree criminal sexual contact charge is 18 months.
Teachers well-regarded before arrests
The investigation reportedly has cast a pall over the school through the first few weeks of the 2012-13 year.
As school let out Thursday, Triton students found themselves surrounded by news vans and reporters. Some students happily gave interviews, while others hurried away from school grounds with their heads down.
The students Patch spoke with reported that the teachers charged are popular and well-regarded. That seemed to add to the dismay many vocalized.
"Martinelli was one of my favorite teachers. And Logandro, he was my math teacher and he helped me out a lot every day," junior Jake Lawrenson said. "Whenever I needed help, he was always there for me. I'm not happy about it at all."
Martinelli, 28, a physical education teacher at the school, was the school's boys' soccer coach through the 2011 season, but was pulled from the sidelines for the Mustangs earlier this season.
While attending Rowan University in Glassboro in 2005, Martinelli was a first-team selection to the New Jersey Athletic Conference's Men's Soccer All-Conference Team.
In August of this year, he was on the staff of a soccer academy at Williamstown High School for girls ages 13 to 18.
Logandro, 32, was the school's girls' track coach as of the end of the spring 2012 season. Before coming to Triton, Logandro was a math teacher at Cherry Hill High School East.
Michielli, 27, a math teacher, was Triton's Class of 2012 adviser.
Faulk refused to identify the source of information that sparked the prosecutor's office investigation.
Gloucester Township Police Department was not involved in the investigation.
Authorities urge anyone with any information regarding inappropriate actions involving Logandro, Martinelli or Michielli and students to contact Camden County Prosecutor's Office Inv. Robin Morante at 856-225-8480.
Triton is one of three schools in the Black Horse Pike district—the others are Highland and Timber Creek. The school draws students from three Camden County towns: Bellmawr, Gloucester Township and Runnemede, where the school is located. About 1,600 students attend Triton.
The BHPRSD board next meets on Oct. 11, at Timber Creek.

40-something left-handers to duel
Philadelphia (14-19) at Arizona (19-16), 3:40 p.m. ET
Wednesday's series finale will be a matchup for the aged, when lefties Jamie Moyer duels with Randy Johnson.The contest will be the oldest matchup of left-handed starters in baseball history, at a combined 88 years and 48 days. Moyer and Johnson have a combined 41 years of Major League experience. This matchup will eclipse the previous high set on April 24, when San Diego's David Wells opposed Johnson. That battle passed Moyer's duel with New York's Tom Glavine on April 12. The oldest starting pitching matchup ever occurred June 8, 1987, when right-handers Phil Niekro and Don Sutton hooked up. Their combined age was 90 years, 135 days. Moyer has the edge in this geriatric battle, despite a significant drop in velocity. Moyer began his previous outing against the Giants with six shutout innings, then got into trouble in the seventh when he loaded the bases and surrendered a double to Eliezer Alfonzo. He has faced Arizona only once before, allowing two runs over seven innings and receiving a no-decision. Johnson is still a work in progress in his first three starts. The Big Unit missed the first few weeks of the season recovering from offseason back surgery. His most recent outing was on Friday against the Mets, and he allowed five runs on nine hits over seven innings. Pitching matchup
PHI: LHP Jamie Moyer (3-2, 2.85 ERA)
Moyer has gone at least six innings in all six of his starts this season. ARI: LHP Randy Johnson (0-2, 6.50 ERA)

Strong Missions is a turn-key Christian organization that brings you or your group safe, affordable and fully-organized mission/adventure trips to Costa Rica and helps the people therein, especially children and families, gain the basic resources necessary for a healthy life. Strong Missions does so while giving you many choices regarding your team trip, and we're based in Costa Rica, meaning that we live here all year and therefore accept teams and individuals for most dates, and can do so with just a few weeks notice. In addition, from registration to the completion of the trip, your group will have personal contact with your group's individual Spanish/English speaking guides, Charlie Strong, Rebecca Rusnak and Darryl Teske, all United Methodist Volunteers in Mission Individual Volunteers in Costa Rica, or interns trained by them.
Mission opportunities include home, public school and church construction and repair, construction and repair in orphanages and schools for special-needs kids, playground installation, retirement center construction/remodeling, participation in feeding programs for children, wheelchair and book donation/distribution, education centers and grants, etc. Also through new mission site tours, those who wish to contribute to the work but who for whatever reason are not able to do the physical labor can still have a major role in the completion of projects, all while seeing the work-sites up close and visiting with the recipients of the projects themselves, including families, children, church members, incredible school and orphanage staff, etc. Such teams can also work more directly with children, sharing crafts and playing in orphanages and special needs schools. Lodging ranges from modest to moderately luxurious accommodations.
Adventure excursions include national parks, volcanoes, beaches, waterfalls, rain/cloud forests, wildlife preserves, etc., and additional outings are available at an additional cost from Costa Rican tour agencies (tree zip line canopy rides, white-water rafting, horseback riding, four-wheeling, scuba, snorkeling, butterfly observatories, hot springs, fishing, etc.). These activities are well discounted for our teams and we pass that discount on to you.
Read what some past participants have to say.
Here is the link to the Strong Missions video made by Billy Stewart
from Cypress UMC, Houston, TX. We hope you all enjoy it and that it
is used to spread the word about what we are doing here and will be
used to bring many blessings to the people of Costa Rica.

(The Slater book says this is where the crux is). The rock has an odd diagonal slant which makes the climbing a bit scary and committing (at least it was to us). We were just above the 3rd bolt when the guy came to tell us to get out, so we left the leaver biner there. ::salutes the rusting metal::...[more] Browse More Classics in CA

In Downtown Owensboro, ground has been broken on a new Holiday Inn hotel.
The new hotel will be one of the book ends on either side of the convention center with a Hampton Inn on the other side.
Officials say the new hotel will serve as a beacon that will bring people into the community.
The Executive Inn may be gone, but its purpose was reborn on Tuesday. Owensboro Mayor Ron Payne says the groundbreaking of the new Holiday Inn in Downtown Owensboro is like the spirit of the old Executive Inn rising from the ashes.
"It's nice that we were able to inquire that property and rebuild even stronger. We are going to be stronger and better than we were before," Mayor Payne said.
The five-story, 123 room, riverfront hotel will be built next to the new convention center. Officials say the building will play an important role bringing people and conventions to Owensboro.
"The groups that we go after and market to they are in that two to three hundred on peak night so having that additional hotel is important to us," said Dean Dennis with Global Spectrum.
Mayor Payne says Owensboro and downtown is gaining momentum and he expects there will be more announcements in future.
"It's a magnet for economic development. People are looking to relocate their businesses here, expand their businesses here because there is an air of excitement that we haven't seen in a long time," Mayor Payne said.
Lingate Hospitality says this project will bring about 50 jobs, not including construction, to the area.
Officials say the new hotel will have ten suites, a fitness center, indoor pool, restaurant, and lounge.
We're told construction on the new hotel should last until the fall of next year.

Geiranger is a small tourist town in the western part of Norway in the region called Sunnmøre in the municipality of Stranda. It lies innermost in the fjord Geirangerfjord, which is a branch of Storfjord. Geiranger is home to some of the most spectacular scenery in the world. Views include snow-covered mountain peaks, waterfalls, lush vegetation and the deep blue waters of the fjord. Since 2005, the Geirangerfjord has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
As shore excursions to be offered in this port are not yet confirmed, below is a list of those offered previously. We make every effort to have excursions finalized at least 240 days in advance of sailing, and often sooner, so please check back regularly.
This full-day tour allows you to discover the wonderful natural attraction of Geirangerfjord and the incredible scenery to be found in this area of Norway.
The Geirangerfjord is no doubt one of the most beautiful fjords in Norway. Towering, steep mountainsides and numerous waterfalls all combine to create the unique scenery that would be hard to find anywhere else in the world.
At the head of this 9-mile long fjord lays the little village of Geiranger where your excursion commences. You will begin by heading up the many hairpin bends to the viewpoint named Eagle's Bend. From this wonderful vantage point there is a fantastic view of the mountain world that surrounds you as well as the fjord deep down below. Thereafter, your coach descends to fjord level once more and returns to Geiranger before starting uphill again, passing two of the town's modern, comfortable hotels as well as the little wooden octagonal church.
Your next stop will be at Flydal gorge. The view down towards the fjord is simply superb and the cruise ships look like toy boats from this height. Continuing on, you'll make your way towards Djupvass chalet situated at some 3100 feet above sea level and then make a detour up to the summit of Mount Dalsnibba, from where there is an unbelievable view on clear days. Retracing your path to Djupvass, your drive continues further along Djupvatn Lake, which is usually covered by ice and snow until end of June. Linking up with the new Stryne-Road, kept open year-round, you will follow that to Grotli where a stop is made for lunch.
After a relaxing lunch and a chance to stretch your legs, your tour resumes in a westerly direction to the Tystigen summer ski-center for your next stop. With a bit of luck and snow conditions permitting, you may be able to see skiers as they come zooming down the mountainside. Continue down the hairpin bends of the Stryn-Road to Stryn Lake, known for its wonderful turquoise color. Another photo stop is made before making your way into Stryn, the administrative center of the inner part of the Nordfjord, driving along the Stryn Salmon River the last part of the way. Following the shores of the Nordfjord, you will next cross a wooded hill down to Hornindal Lake, the deepest freshwater lake in Europe which is known for its abundance of fish.
The last leg of your journey navigates uphill, crossing the border between the County Sogn & Fjordane and Møre & Romsdal county. Enjoy the scenery of a mountain valley with many attractive chalets as you make your way down to the village of Hellesylt, situated at the head of the Synnulvsfjord. It was here that the author Henrik Ibsen was inspired to write one of his best-known plays. As your tour comes to an end, you'll pass a lovely waterfall and the local dairy, where they produce the Norwegian type of goat cheese. Arriving at the pier, you will find your ship has also made the journey to Hellesylt and lies at anchor awaiting your return.
Please note: This tour is considered panoramic and encompasses approximately 5 hours of travel on a coach. The tour is available to wheelchair guests who have a collapsible wheelchair, can make their own way on and off the coach and have an able-bodied companion to assist them. Those with mobility concerns are cautioned to carefully evaluate their personal level of stamina and ability.

Pray for the Nigerian Government over Boko Haram, corruption, Aregbesola tells Anglicans
Speaking at the opening of the first session of the ninth synod of the Diocese of Osun (Anglican Communion) at Saint Andrew's Anglican Church, Ada, [Governor Rauf] Aregbesola said the recent noise of purported plan to Islamise Osun was a ruse aimed at creating religious disharmony with a view to getting a state of emergency declared on the state.
The Governor said: "I believe so strongly that the Federal Government and security agencies deserve our prayers at this time. Instead of plotting mischief and fomenting trouble in a peaceful state like Osun here, they need to take a grasp of the depth of the security challenges facing the nation.
"Some evil people are bent on blowing the nation apart, and the security agencies seem to have no clue on how to tackle this menace."

Trey Burke, the Utah Jazz's 2013 NBA Draft lottery selection, broke his finger on October 12 during the first quarter of a preseason game against the Los Angeles Clippers. He is expected to miss 8-to-12 weeks, digging into the start of the Jazz's season. Not so fast though, according to the broken-fingered man himself, who tweeted that his timetable is actually 4-to-6 weeks and he was unaware of who "made up" the "unreasonable" rumor:
8-12 weeks is very unreasonable people and idk who made that up. I appreciate the support and prayers but 4-6 weeks is more likely. Thanks— Trey Burke (@Trey_Burke3) October 15, 2013
The initial report suggested that Burke's agent told Desert News report Jody Gennesy the timetable was at least eight weeks, but he has since corrected his mistake and cites that an "NBA source" gave him the information:
I just realized I made an egregious error reporting about Trey Burke's rehab. An NBA source gave me the 8-12 week timetable, not his agent.— Jody Genessy (@DJJazzyJody) October 15, 2013
Burke is scheduled to have surgery Tuesday and, if he does not require pins in his finger, a 4-to-6 week recovery seems reasonable, according to Gennesy. The Jazz are expected to give an official estimated timetable after the procedure.
Either way, it looks like the Jazz will be without Burke for at least a month. The team is thin at point guard with John Lucas III expected to handle starter duties while Scott Machado and Lester Hudson cover backup minutes. Both Hudson and Machado are on non-guaranteed contracts.

The average age of vehicles on the list of most frequently stolen cars is 12 years.
This post comes from Jim Sloan at partner site Insure.com.
The popular 1994 Honda Accord, followed closely by the '95 Civic and '91 Toyota Camry, tops the list of the most frequently stolen cars in the nation last year.
NICB spokesman Frank Scafidi says he wasn't surprised that the plucky '94 Accord topped the list.
Some travel destinations are still recovering. Where to go before they get too pricey.
This Deal of the Day comes from Kelli B. Grant at partner site SmartMoney.
As more people put off travel during the recession, incredibly cheap travel deals cropped up. But now, business and leisure travel are picking up -- and with them, hotel rates.
In Bali, for example, the average price paid for a hotel room during the second quarter of the year climbed 57% over the same period in 2009 (to an average per-night room rate of $203). New York City saw an average price jump of 14% (to $224) over the same period.
Does that mean it's a bad time to travel? Not necessarily.
A short -- and achievable -- list of rules regarding your finances.
Want to drop a bad habit or develop a good one? You need a plan. Or, rather, you need a list.
We Americans love our lists. We especially love short lists. Just check the headlines on magazines, Internet news sites or blogs. You'll almost certainly see ones like "3 easy steps to lose weight/stop smoking/become a millionaire."
Having a list makes us feel we're already halfway to achieving our goals. Lists make us feel confident and in charge: I've got it all figured out! Now I just have to implement it!
It's never really that simple, of course.
Earning more than that may make you feel more successful, but it won't make you happier.
This post comes from Sierra Black at partner blog Get Rich Slowly.
A few weeks ago, I wrote about how money really can buy happiness -- if you spend it right. A big-screen TV isn't a ticket to happiness, but a vacation might be. Giving your money away can boost your well-being, and so can investing it in time with your family.
- Bing: Can money buy happiness?
A new study from Princeton University hangs a price tag on that happiness: $75,000 (.pdf file). That's the annual household income that gives you the most joy for your buck. People with incomes below that magic number report less happiness, overall, than those at or above it.
The bad news: He got laid off. The good news: It happened AFTER he'd cleared his consumer debt.
I feel very bad for Smithee, a staff writer for the Consumerism Commentary personal-finance blog. With no warning he was laid off from his job at a small Web design agency.
In a post called "Laid off, 2010 edition," Smithee wrote that the job loss was particularly frustrating because he had only recently -- and for the first time in his life -- managed to zero out his credit cards.
"I was just learning what it was like to walk around without worrying about paying all my bills on time," he lamented. "I was about to start seriously saving money and/or paying down loans faster than expected. I was going to be in a position to be more than a couple of months away from homelessness. I was stable, and I had plans."
Here's where I think Smithee errs in his thinking:
New report details how large banks finance the payday loan industry.
This post comes from James R. Hood at partner site ConsumerAffairs.com.
The weak economy is making it harder for big banks to lend money, and that's driving cash-poor consumers into the arms of unscrupulous payday lenders, right?
Well, not quite, says a report that finds big banks like Wells Fargo and Bank of America are only too eager to lend billions of dollars to some industries like, oh, the payday lenders.
"While small businesses and individuals have struggled to get affordable loans in the wake of the taxpayer bailouts, payday lenders have received new and amended credit agreements from Wall Street," says the report.
Great American Dine Out includes coupons; plus deals for free museum admission and BOGO smoothies.
Next week is the Great American Dine Out, a restaurant fundraiser to help fight childhood hunger in America. As part of the promotion, which is Sept. 19-25, restaurants nationwide are offering discounts, coupons or other incentives to encourage donations to Share Our Strength.
Among this year's participants are Joe's Crabshack, Corner Bakery Cafe, McAlister's Deli, Boston Market, T.G.I. Friday's, Buffalo Wild Wings, Taco Bueno, The Palm Restaurants, Legal Seafoods, P.F. Chang's and First Watch. You can search for participating restaurants in your area here.
If you have a great idea to combat childhood hunger or contribute to your community in another way, you might be able to get $100,000 from Ikea for a sabbatical to turn your plan into action.
If you don't use your credit card number while shopping online, no one can steal it. That's the idea behind virtual credit cards.
This post comes from Brandon Ballenger at partner site Money Talks News.
The best way to protect your credit card number online might be to use a fake one.
Well, it's not actually fake -- it's "virtual." Yes, it's legal. It's also smart, and may be free depending on your bank.
- Quick quiz: Estimate your credit score
Virtual credit cards have been around for a while now, and the idea is simple. You can use the financial backing of your real credit card -- or debit card, or checking account -- to make all the purchases you normally would on a computer, but without using the card itself. Instead, you use an alternate, virtual credit card number, which is linked to your real one, but protected by computer encryption and other state-of-the-art security measures.

If reinfection occurs, tapeworm segments may be observed within one month of the initial treatment.

Isolated incidents of either vomiting, diarrhea, poor appetite, or listlessness have been reported following treatment, but were considered non-significant. If these signs are observed and they persist, consult your veterinarian.
WARNING: Consult your veterinarian before administering tablets to weak or debilitated animals.
WARNING: Keep out of the reach of children. Not for human use.
