A sailor from Chicago working on a tall ship was fatally shot in the Bahamas over the weekend.
He is identified as 34-year-old Kyle Bruner, a former special education teacher and the tall ship Liberty Clipper's first mate.
Family members said Bruner was killed when he came to the aid of a woman in the capital city of Nassau. They said she was being mugged by two armed men.
Mother's Day was an incredibly difficult one for the family.
Rick Bruner had to tell his wife on Mother's Day that her son was gone.
"Waking my wife up to tell her what had happened…and it was, it was extremely difficult," Bruner explains.
Kyle Bruner's family says he was athletically gifted. He was a jack of all trades and a ladies man. Regardless of relationships, the sea was his mistress and he refused to leave her.
"I told him, you know, it's always better to say I did then to say I could have. And with his life he did," Bruner says of his son.
One week shy of returning to the ship's home in Boston, he was killed for stepping up to protect people in need.
"If he saw someone being bullied, he would intervene," Bruner says. "This is…it's been that same way his whole life. And so, to say that it would have been nice if he would have just ignored it and walked away, but that wasn't the person we knew and loved."
says police in Nassau have arrested one person in his son's case. He says
although nothing will bring his son back, he wants to make sure these men do
not hurt anyone else.

What happened to a man is now raising questions about whether Kansas City police went too far.
The incident happened at 24th Street and Cypress Avenue in the middle of the afternoon Oct. 5. Witnesses said they saw a man jump out of a car and take off running with officers chasing behind. The chase ended around the corner and it left one officer suspended while an investigation continues of possible excessive force.
On the October afternoon police said they spotted Alfredo Ponce driving a car they believe had just been stolen in an armed robbery. They stopped the car at 24th and Cypress, but said Pone ran and then turned to fight police.
A witness said Ponce swung first against the officers.
"I saw the young man tee'd off on the police, he got him, he got him good," Bobbi Ealom said.
But that wasn't the end of the situation.
"They both rushed him, and he come up this way running. They caught him up here and beat him down," Ealom said.
Ponce's mug shot after the incident shows a black and blue eye and bruising on other parts of his face. He is being held at the Jackson County Jail.
When asked about the incident, police spokesman Capt. Tye Grant gave the following statement.
"During an internal review of the arrest information, which is a normal internal process, it was determined that an officer who was involved in the arrest responded in a manner that required further review. This review is currently being investigated as a possible criminal offense of assault."
No charges have been filed against the officer, so police are not releasing his name.
"When you see someone get hurt like that, it's upsetting," Ealom said.
She said the case could hurt how some people see the police around her neighborhood, but she said that won't change things for her.
"Well, to be truthful, if you wouldn't have stolen the car, hit the cop, it wouldn't have never happened," Ealom said.
Officers in two other counties have arrested Ponce in the past.
The Jackson County Prosecutor's Office would not confirm Friday whether they are looking into the case.

THE INTERNET'S SERVERCENTRIC model is demonstrating itself too slow and too static for the medium to advance beyond a document warehouse. Static forms are persistently cornering server resources. Round-trip server calls hog bandwidth and hinder the user experience.
Rich Internet applications aim to smarten up browser-based interaction by making better use of client-side processing capacity. By leveraging tools such as Java applets and client-side databases to greater processing advantage, rich Internet applications improve functionality while reducing the number of calls to the server for information.
Screen updates, for example, need only include data changes, not an HTML document's entire page presentation. Localized data and processing allows users to perform tasks such as data mining and modeling with a higher level of interactivity.
The process helps to reduce network traffic and server loads, and allows administrators to maintain centralized management over their applications, keeping deployment and maintenance costs in check. And the decidedly peered architecture of rich Internet applications is providing a path for efficient application delivery within the highly distributed Web services world.
In the rich Internet application space, there is certainly no shortage of vendors vying for attention, although the degree of capability and sophistication of each varies.
The one commonality among all vendors, however, is the mission to create a smart-presentation layer and rely on localized processing to streamline interaction. In general, the approach is not a replacement for existing Web or application servers but rather an architectural supplement.
Whereas some companies such as Esual Software approach the effort with a focus on improving presentation, others are aiming to improve functionality in application delivery with entire workflow frameworks.
Notably, Fourbit Group, a Florida-based company with a forte for wireless infrastructure, is walking on sunshine with a recently inked a deal to bring its task-driven Fablets, a smart client platform, to Sun.
Also emerging from the vapor is Digital Harbor, hoping to make a splash with its Professional Interactive Information Environment, a unified interface for enterprise application access.
Macromedia is also a long way from its early days as a designer's presentation tool. Although technical limitations remain, the latest MX line boasts modest provisions for Web services and, with market penetration in the high 90th percentile, portends an opportune delivery mechanism for enriched applications to customers.
The two current standouts among the business marketplace competition, however, are Altio and Curl, each with extremely well-developing platform portfolios in hand and actual run-time environments available for examination.
Although their methodologies vary -- Altio uses an applet-servlet model and Curl a JIT compiler approach -- both produce solid means of improving client-side interaction to a wide array of device types.

Nice home for groups
This was a wonderful setting for a 3 generation family gathering. We enjoyed the theater room. The pool was nice for the small children in our group (3-5 feet deep). The home gave everyone the opportunity to spread out if needed, but it also had large gathering spaces. The view was nice, but was partially obstructed by trees. We didn't end up using the lake much as it was still quite cold and was choppy during most of our stay. The area around the home had fewer activities than many of our previous destinations, but we were aware of this before arriving. The kitchen has commercial grade appliances (except the dishwasher that seemed to require pre-rinsing). We used the gas grill several times; it was able to accommodate large meals but was uneven in its cooking. We were disappointed to find that the house lacked several essentials we have seen at other homes in our yearly gatherings: salt & pepper, basic spices, paper towels, hand soap, dish soap, etc. The owner was quick to respond when we had an issue with the pool, although the pool guy never came back a 2nd time to put things away and check the equipment as he said he would. We also had 5-6 hours of noisy welding to fix the outdoor gates one day. Overall, my family enjoyed the home.

James Harden's beard gets a timeline

There's not much left to say about James Harden's beard.
After all, its greatness has been well-documented and any extra attempts to describe it may ultimately lead to poor and unnecessary adjectives, the likes of which could make the beard angry.
And we don't want to do that.
Anyway, the good folks over at BuzzFeed.com have produced a piece titled "The James Harden Beard Timeline", and its sole purpose is to take us through the beard's many stages.
It's magical and wonderful and simply great. Not unlike the beard itself.

It's been a quiet couple of days here on the blog. The previous week was completely devoid of any bicycling adventures. Between the loss of my kitty, a strange flu-like bug I got, and the fact that it rained for about 10 days straight, we didn't spend much time on our bikes at all. I was pretty bummed about that, but what can you do? Yesterday I rode to work for the first time in days and it felt great to be out on my bike again. It's also completely obvious now that summer is long over. We went from high 80′s to the 60′s literally overnight, and then had 10 days of rain. Thankfully the leaves are still hanging on to the trees though. I've noticed this trend in the past few years that it's horribly hot well into September, then the leaves start to change, and it's beautiful for a day or two, then it rains like hell and all the leaves fall and it looks like winter a month too soon. I really hope that doesn't happen this year. Seasons in Michigan have all but disappeared. Spring and autumn used to feel like real seasons that lasted for weeks. Now they last 5 or 6 days. I'm not exaggerating and I'm not the only one that's noticed this. Our climate here is pretty much turning into overwhelming heat and humidity or non-ending winter.
But this is my first real experience riding in the fall (as an adult at least). There was obviously no discernible changing of the season when I lived in southwest Florida, and so I am really appreciating the cooler weather and the changing color of the leaves. It even smells like fall. The word that keeps coming to me is "pleasant" but it's more than that. It's quite wonderful really. I hope we get many weeks to enjoy riding in cooler weather before our neighborhood turns into a pile of slush.
Despite it being kind of a slow week for us, here are a few things I've been thinking about:
- Tracking miles. Who does this? Do you feel a need to keep a general count of how many miles you've put on your bike (or a tally of how much you ride certain bikes, for those of you with more than one?) We have been keeping track, mostly because I think we are both nerds and find this kind of stuff interesting. We have been using Map My Ride's iPhone app for this purpose. It has been ok, but not great. We both find the web interface extremely confusing and non-intuitive, and this is coming from two geeks. We also have had problems with the app giving us errors saying the GPS isn't working on our phones, but it still shows our route anyway. I'm thinking about getting a wireless bike computer instead, but frankly, I don't want to ugly-up my bike attaching a bunch of junk to it. I also don't neednine hundred different stats – I basically want to track mileage and that's it. (Though I have to admit, I kinda like the computers that show the temperature too, that would be nice to know.) The one nice thing about the app is that it gives us a historical total as well as ride-specific data. But there doesn't seem to be a way to mark which bike you are riding.
- I emailed Basil after posting about the bottle baskets, suggesting that they add rubber feet to the bottom of these baskets – as they are designed to be taken on and off the bike. To my surprise, I got two replies and they seem very interested in my feedback! It's definitely cool to know a company takes their customer's ideas seriously. I am still loving those baskets, by the way.
- I picked up one of these wrist wallets from REI last weekend. I am hoping this solves two problems, one is the GPS issues I'm having with my phone and MapMyRide seems to happen more often when my phone is buried at the bottom of a pannier basket or in a pocket. The second issue is that we have two private parks in our neighborhood that you have to show a credit card-like pass for. I realized the first time we rode there that trying to dig that thing out takes forever, and I don't trust it not to fall out of a pocket. So it's usually tucked in my wallet, tucked in a bag, inside my basket. So that means a lot of fumbling at the gate, which is annoying enough when there aren't cars behind me waiting to get in. So this little wrist wallet thing should make that much easier. Tonight we are going to bike to one of the parks to see a movie (yes our park has a movie theatre!) so I'll get to test it out.
- There's a new bike in my future, but I'm going to hold off on talking about it until closer to delivery. But I'm super excited.

The FBI says Nevada is the second most dangerous state in the country. But one expert says that's just not the case.
The FBI's stats are taken from 2012 when the national average for violent crime was 386 for every 100,000 people. Nevada had about 600. That's more than 16,000 crimes in a state with just 2.7 million residents.
Tennessee is the only state with more violent crime than Nevada.
But one criminal expert says the Silver State's crime rate is elevated because of our unique tourism industry with gaming and 24-hour entertainment.
53-million people visited the Silver State last year - who aren't included in the crime rate.
"If you take 25 million people, which is half of what we have in a year, in terms of tourists, the rate drops to 66 as opposed to the quoted 600," says criminal justice professor Emmanuel Barthe.
While the stats show high numbers of violent crime -- the same numbers rank Reno as one of the top 20 safest cities.
When it comes to murder, rape, and robbery -- the Biggest Little City is at least 25% below the national average.
"We think we have the ability to show people that it's very safe up here. There's been articles on it, very recently. The stats show it. So, we think we're safe to say that it's a nice place for families and other visitors to come and enjoy a safe holiday," says Ben McDonald, communications manager for the Reno-Sparks Convention and Visitors Authority.
Last year, national crime rates increased by about 1% but they've been trending downward for the last two decades.

The very heart of Christ's saving accomplishment is his death and resurrection.
—Robert A. Peterson
As you prepare for Easter, we'd like to help you reflect on Christ's death and resurrection. Through the first week of April, we're offering a free download of a significant portion of Robert Peterson's Salvation Accomplished by the Son: the Work of Christ. In these chapters, Peterson explores Christ's saving work and offers an in-depth look into Christ's death and resurrection.
Dr. Chris Morgan, professor of theology and dean of the School of Christian Ministries at California Baptist University, shares his experience reading Peterson's work during the Easter season:
Not long ago I served as the theological reader for Robert's Peterson's Salvation Accomplished by the Son. It appeared to be another good book on an important topic, and it was. But it was much more.
Through Robert's careful framing, unpacking, expounding, and applying of Christ's saving work, Christ's death and resurrection gripped me. Passages like Romans 4:25 and Revelation 3:14 came alive. And the significance of our Lord's resurrection sunk in more deeply. Jesus' resurrection brings justification, establishes peace with God, and inaugurates the new creation. I already knew and had been teaching and preaching these truths—but not enough and not with such precision.
Thankfully, I was reading the manuscript just weeks before Easter. Many insights into Christ's death and resurrection not only found their way into me, but also in several sermons that month. Indeed, I specifically contacted Robert a few times that month to thank him for writing it and to let him know how helpful the book was in my preaching.

MACON, Ga. (AP) - Airline passengers say a new airline service at the Middle Georgia Regional Airport is more convenient than flying out of Atlanta, and cheaper as well.
Silver Airways began offering service to Atlanta and Orlando, Fla. in April and airport manager Doug Faour told the Telegraph of Macon business has been increasing since then. Faour says the airline has served more than 500 passengers between July and September.
Macon Mayor Robert Reichert says his goal is for the airline to serve 10,000 passengers in a year to push the Federal Aviation Administration to increase contributions for maintenance and improvements at the airport.
Samar Othman told the newspaper that he and his family regularly drove to Florida from middle Georgia, and will likely fly from the regional airport from now on.
A fifth arrest has been made in connection with the murder of a 13-year-old in his own bedroom on Sunday.

- VIDAS® and its compact version, mini VIDAS®, have an installed base of approximately 31,000 systems worldwide, including 27,000 in clinical laboratories.
- VIDAS® 3, the new generation, was developed with healthcare professionals to meet their needs in a changing technical, organizational and regulatory environment:
- greater autonomy: tests can be performed on demand, 24 hours a day and seven days a week,
- a tailored solution with an intuitive touch screen interface,
- enhanced automation including an integrated pipetting system,
- improved traceability.
The technology
- VIDAS uses ELFA technology (Enzyme Linked Fluorescent Assay) and is based on the single-test concept.
- VIDAS changed the field of immunoassays, offering laboratories a simple and robust technique that delivers reliable and rapid results.
- It can conduct all steps of biological testing automatically and detect and/or quantify:
- antigens or toxins showing a viral or bacterial infection,
- antibodies quantifying the immune response to infection,
- markers for diseases such as cancer, metabolic diseases or hormonal disorders.
- Tests can be carried out individually or in series.
- The hourly throughput varies per instrument, with 36 tests per hour for mini VIDAS and VIDAS 3 and up to 90 tests per hour for VIDAS.
Our product offering
- The VIDAS menu comprises 98 parameters, covering a wide range of human diseases.
- Part of this menu is dedicated to high medical-value tests, including:
- VIDAS® B·R·A·H·M·S PCT, to measure levels of procalcitonin for the early diagnosis of severe bacterial infections (including sepsis). The progression of these infections depends on how early treatment is provided: in emergency departments or intensive care units, this test is a valuable resource enabling medical decisions to be made quickly.
- VIDAS® D-Dimer Exclusion™ II is recognized as the gold standard for excluding a diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary embolism.
- VIDAS® EBV detects the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), which is responsible for 80% of infectious mononucleosis (IMN) cases. By diagnosing IMN, it is possible to avoid the unnecessary prescription of antibiotics.
- The HIV Duo Ultra and Quick are ready-to-use, automated tests for the detection of HIV infections.
- VIDAS® C. difficile Toxin A&B provides a result within only 75 minutes (as opposed to 24 to 48 hours for the reference method), allowing treatment decisions to be made and patient isolation measures to be undertaken quickly to avoid the spread of disease.
The community
The myvidas.com website was created to bring together the more than 25,000 users in clinical laboratories. It will enable them to share their experiences and consult an unrivalled database of scientific and technical information. Through this site, VIDAS system users will be able to hone their expertise.

'Failings' in hospital care admitted after retired motor trader Malcolm Green dies
Updated 9:43am Thursday 7th March 2013 in News By Katy Woodhouse
HYWEL DDA Health Board has apologised for failures in the care of a well-known retired motor trader who died after surgery at Withybush Hospital in June last year.
The family of Malcolm Green MBE called for an investigation after the 82-year-old died following treatment for cancer.
Withybush Hospital bosses admitted "avoidable and unacceptable delays" to the surgery, prior to the charity fundraiser's death and a health board investigation found there were failures.
A letter of apology was sent to Mr Green's widow, Janet, at the request of his sons John and Martin, but the family say this has been a cause of further distress.
The family say the letter showed insensitivity and "institutional complacency" as it was not signed by the chief executive Trevor Purt himself, but on his behalf by a member of his office.
The letter to Mrs Green states: "I very much regret that the Health Board failed to respond to your husband's deteriorating condition and that there was an unacceptable delay in performing the surgery.
"I am so sorry for these failings and for the devastating outcome that this has had on you and your family. A number of recommended actions are being undertaken, which will be shared across the Health Board."
Mr Green's son John said: "Our issue is that this letter, which was so important to our mum, a personal letter which should help move this sad incident nearer to closure, was not signed by Trevor Purt. No chief executive can be too busy to sign a letter."
A Hywel Dda Health Board spokesman said: "Mr Purt and the Health Board sincerely apologises to the family of Mr Green and offer deepest sympathies to them.
"The Health Board acknowledges there were failings in the level of care Mr Green received and the Health Board has carried out a full internal investigation. Actions have been taken to ensure that these failings do not happen again and these lessons will be shared widely across the Health Board.
"Mr Purt took this case very seriously but was absent from the Health Board at the time the letter was sent and the Health Board felt they could not delay the sending of this letter and therefore he asked another senior director to sign the letter on his behalf. He apologies for any further upset this has caused."
An inquest into Mr Green's death was opened and adjourned last year and has not yet been heard.

Hospitals should stop taking in more patients and send them to the closest available hospital if they are full and unable to care for the needs of their patients! It is disgusting and to think I was proud of being born in this hospital!

We had a massive delay for a friend's cancer surgery, and it ended with none, and the inevitable, as they got too weak. It still may not have ended well but was very distressing for all at an already upsetting time. It came down to money and Carmarthen and H'west hospitals not communicating. The staff on the wards were excellent and just as frustrated as us.

Criminally under-appreciated yet darn near ubiquitous in some of the greatest rock and roll songs ever recorded, today is the day we celebrate a musical instrument first developed to assist herdsmen in keeping track of their wayward future Big Macs and Whoppers:the cowbell. First appearing in American mountain and hillbilly music back in the 1920s, the cowbell really started gaining traction during the '60s, as the psychedelic movement embraced all forms of musical (and other) experimentation. Today we honor the cream of the cowbell crop!
10. "Red Morning Light" Kings of Leon
A surprising yet entirely deserving newcomer to the pantheon of cowbell classics, Tennessee-based Kings of Leon deliver a raucous and raw cowbell confection with "Red Morning Light." No longer relegated to the second-tier of percussion instruments, the cowbell gets the real spotlight treatment thanks to drummer Ivan Nathan Followill's groovy and sparse mid-song breakdown.
9. "Nightrain" Guns N' Roses
Slash was always a big fan of "Nightrain," proclaiming in his autobiography that it was his favorite song to play live because "when we had our huge stage later on [after Guns N' Roses got big], I'd run the length of it, jump off the amplifiers, and lose it just about every time we played it. I'm not sure why, but no other song we ever played live made me move like that." Slash might not know why "Nightrain" did that to him, but we do: monster cowbell intro! Duh!
8. "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" Blue Oyster Cult
A strong staple on rock radio since its release in 1976, Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper" was catapulted into the cowbell stratosphere thanks to its hilarious send-up by Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken on Saturday Night Live. "I've got a fever!" Walken exclaims during his portrayal of producer Bruce Dickinson, "and the only prescription is more cowbell!" This singular moment in rock history ushered the cowbell to its rightful place in the forefront of iconic rock instruments, just behind the '59 Les Paul Standard.
7. "Low Rider" War
Appearing on War's 1975 album Why Can't We Be Friends?, this cowbell classic shot to #1 on Billboard's R&B chart and #7 on the pop chart, making it one of the California band's biggest hits. One of the first songs to glamorize the Chicano culture's love of utilizing hydraulics to lift and lower their hot-rods, the prodigious use of cowbell propels "Low Rider" beautifully, like a pimped-out '67 GTO rolling smooth down Ventura Boulevard.
6. "Time Has Come Today" The Chambers Brothers
Originally released in 1966 then re-released as a shorter radio-friendly version in 1966, this Chambers Brothers classic painted a psychedelic sonic picture of the events of the day, namely the Vietnam War. Considered ahead of its time because of the multiple effects incorporated throughout the song, particularly the longer original album cut, the most notable and memorable effect is the constant "tick-tock, tick-tock" of a cowbell.
5. "Rock of Ages" Def Leppard
"Gunter…glieben…glauchen…globen," and with those four head-scratching German words (actually spoken by Def Leppard producer Mutt Lange), the Leps' still fully-armed drummer Rick Allen turns his attention to the almighty cowbell, clanging out the classic intro to one of the '80s greatest fist-pumping anthems. It's better to cowbell than fade away!
4. "We're an American Band" Grand Funk Railroad
Grand Funk Railroad's first-ever chart-topping hit was a song sent from cowbell heaven. Produced by Todd Rundgren and originally released on gold transparent vinyl, 1973's "We're an American Band" kicks off with drummer Don Brewer thwacking out the beat with his kick-drum, snare and ubiquitous cowbell. Brewer also sang the song instead of Grand Funk's usual lead vocalist Mark Farner.
3. "Hair of the Dog" Nazareth
Scottish rock stalwarts Nazareth kick off the title track to their 1975 masterpiece album Hair of the Dog with a colossal cowbell cacophony. The lyrics alone scare the bejeezus out of you: "Now you're messing with a…S.O.B.!" Ever had your noggin pummeled by the business end of a cowbell? Trust me. It's not pretty, and this cowbell classic does just that.
2. "Mississippi Queen" Mountain
Mountain drummer Corky Laing co-wrote this scorching cowbell-driven number with guitarist-singer Leslie West. Originally appearing on Mountain's 1970 album Climbing!, "Mississippi Queen" remains the group's most popular song, even more so today with the younger crowd thanks to its inclusion in both Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock and Rock Band gaming systems.
1. "Honky Tonk Women" The Rolling Stones
What separates The Rolling Stones copious cowbell from the herd during the intro to this debaucherous little ditty is the non-traditional beat producer Jimmy Miller thunks out on the cowbell (no, Charlie Watts did not play the cowbell on this one). Where most cowbellists stick to a straightforward hard-driving cow-beat, Jimmy's softer, funkier take on the beef bongo instantly identifies one of the Stones' greatest songs. Your blue ribbon winner!

Tories: Miliband 'too weak' to keep to borrowing pledge
Treasury minister Sajid Javid said Ed Miliband is "too weak to deliver" on his promise of being disciplined on borrowing after the Labour leader vowed to scrap the 'bedroom tax' if his party win the next election.
Click here for an in-depth look at the 'bedroom tax'
– Sajid Javid, Treasury Minister
Labour's first policy commitment, after 3 years of waiting, is more spending on housing benefit, funded by a tax on pensions and more borrowing. That sums up Labour's record in office and shows it's still the same old Labour.
Despite promising 'discipline' on borrowing, Ed Miliband has shown he is too weak to deliver.
Nothing has changed – it's the same old Labour. And hardworking people would pay the price through higher taxes and higher mortgage rates.

Andy Dalton hasn't been much help this week for the Bengals. No problem, they've got Mohamed Sanu.
On second-and-six in the second quarter, Dalton threw the ball to Sanu who launched it 25 yards down the field to Gio Bernard. After the play survived a challenge -- Bernard caught it in bounds -- the Bengals turned to Sanu again on third down. That time he did it the old fashioned way, catching the pass for a touchdown.

The Cuban Tower is the southernmost formation in the group of formations known as the Sacred Cliffs and is host to two routes of high quality: Cetacean Mating Grotto (9), and Bay of Pigs (10+). The former route is north-facing the latter west-facing. The cliff is high on the southwest aspect of Green Mountain therefore the west face gets winter sun from about noon until sunset. When many other routes in the Boulder area are in the shade, Bay of Pigs can be pretty toasty. The rock is the standard conglomerate sandstone all Boulder climbers are familiar with, grainier than Eldo, but on par with many other Flatirons formations. The descent off Bay of Pigs can be done in one 140 foot rappel therefore requiring a second rope or one can climb over to the single bolt anchor atop Cetacean Mating Grotto and rap that route and downclimb a funky 4th class gully back to the base of the west face. Perhaps an intermediate fixed anchor could be established on "Pigs" to make this descent a little easier and safer. There is already a bolt and piton at the end of the first pitch, maybe somebody could bring some webbing up there and fix a rap station. This is a good crag to visit when you want to escape the crowds and don't mind a little hiking. Bay of Pigs is the route "to do" and requires a small rack and some draws for the fixed pro, and Cetacean Mating Grotto makes for a fun four bolt pitch.
Getting There
From Boulder drive west on baseline road up Flagstaff mountain to the Green Mountain West Ridge trailhead. The trail is approximately 1 mile beyond the Lost Gulch overlook on the left. Hike the west ridge trail past its junction with the Ranger Trail to the first sharp switchback (app. 1.4 miles). From here a faint trail leads south. It can be really easy to lose the trail due to its "faint" nature, but as long as one heads south and tends toward the ridge the other Sacred Cliffs and some cool looking boulders ought soon appear. There are three major cliffs that will be passed en route to the Cuban tower: Pebble Beach, Main Cliff and Moby Dick. The CT is the last, southernmost of the group. Total hiking time is approximately 1 hour.

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is expected to visit Egypt in
February and discuss the resumption of diplomatic relations between the two
countries with his Egyptian counterpart Mohamed Morsi, semi-official
Iranian news agency Fars reported on Friday.
Ahmadinejad was invited by Morsi to attend the Organization of Islamic Cooperation summit in Cairo on February 7.
On Thursday, Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi met with Morsi in Cairo to discuss improving the ties between the two countries, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the civil war in Syria.
said that the tensions were being orchestrated by the Western media and
invited Morsi to Iran on behalf of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Meanwhile last week, Morsi's political adviser Issam al-Haddad held a secret meeting
with Qassem Suleimani, the commander of Iran's Quds Force, to learn how
to control and take over the Egypt's security forces, according to a
report in Wednesday's edition of the Egyptian paper Al-Masry al-Youm.
relations between Cairo and Tehran broke down immediately after Iran's 1979 Islamic
revolution due to Egypt's support for the overthrown Shah and its peace
agreement with Israel.
However, the relationship could be thawing
after Morsi visited Tehran in August for the Non-Aligned Movement
conference, marking the first such visit by an Egyptian leader since
Iran's Islamic revolution.
Iran has been courting
stronger relations with Egypt, as well as Jordan, in order to extend
Tehran's influence in the Middle East.
Ariel Ben Solomon and Reuters contributed to this report.

As part of the commemoration, War of 1812 re-enactors braved a bitter afternoon to re-enact skirmishes. They took time out in the middle of the day for the Wreaths Across America ceremony, placing a wreath at the Old Post Cemetery, where numerous War of 1812 dead are buried.
Wreaths Across America is a campaign aimed to lay wreaths at military cemeteries in all 50 states and beyond.
The most hardy of the re-enactors spent hours in canvas tents or huddled near a log fire on the grounds of the Battle of Plattsburgh Association's museum on the former Plattsburgh Air Force Base.
One of the highlights of the commemoration — and a welcome break from the cold for about two dozen present — was a talk given by Battle of Plattsburgh Association President and Plattsburgh City Clerk Keith Herkalo on the history of Pike's Cantonment and the later Battle of Plattsburgh.
For years, the exact location of the cantonment, the only undisturbed 1812 military site in the United States, was lost to history. Through the exhaustive work of Herkalo, the actual location was recently discovered, and the archaeological work of Dr. Tim Abel is in the process of unearthing artifacts there and discovering the history that had been locked away for two centuries.
"It's the location at which an early part of our history began," Herkalo said. "By that, I mean the military history of this region. It really started in 1812."
When the Air Base closed in 1995, he pointed out, the location had been the longest continually occupied, military-tactical facility in the country.
After declaring war against England in 1812, a newly formed American Army was sent to northern New York to prepare for an invasion of British-owned Canada. The plan ultimately fizzled out in late November, and the 3,000-strong army, the largest invasion force formed during the war, streamed into Plattsburgh to set up a winter military base, known as a cantonment.
Much like Valley Forge before it, the soldiers, under the command of Col. Zebulon Pike, were forced to brave the winter in whatever shelters they could build for themselves. It took most of December before any were completed.
Until then, most of the men had only their blankets and campfires to fight off the cold, which dipped to 20 degrees below zero.
As many as 10 percent of Pike's soldiers died in December 1812 alone.
The army left in the spring of 1813, and the encampment was burned in July by the British, a year before war returned to Plattsburgh with the 1814 Battle of Plattsburgh. From there, the history of the location of Pike's Cantonment became confused and was all but lost.
Through property maps, records of real-estate transactions and historical documents, Herkalo found what he believed to be the actual location of the cantonment, but he needed help to prove it. In 2009, he met Abel, an archaeologist who holds a Ph.D from SUNY Albany in anthropology and is an adjunct professor at Clinton Community College, SUNY Canton and Jefferson Community College.
He is also an avid War of 1812 historian and re-enactor. After some time, Herkalo convinced Abel to come to Plattsburgh.
"We spent one summer (2011) out there doing some preliminary work, and low and behold if we didn't find exactly what they were looking for," Abel said of his first dig at Herkalo's site.
"From there, it went on to a field school last year, and hopefully another field school this year, and things really have been snowballing here in the last few years."
Abel and a small team organized through Clinton Community College have unearthed a charred beam and the foundation of a building, as well as other items of historical significance.
From the location of the building and from one artifact — a fragment of porcelain — they believe the cabin belonged to an officer. Another dig is planned for next summer, during which time they will focus on what they believe to be the remnants of a trash pile, or midden.
"We are in an officer's hut. Wouldn't it be incredible of we were in Zebulon Pike's hut?" Herkalo said, barely containing his excitement.
"From a historical perspective, the trash midden is the gold mine. I can't wait."

The Old Noonday Chapter of the National Society Daughters of the American Revolution is offering a freegenealogy workshop in East Cobb on Saturday, February 15th from 2 to 5. This workshop is specific to completing an application for membership and will be of interest to those considering membership, as well as, current DAR members interested in supplementals. Much of the information will apply to NSSAR (Sons of the American Revolution) membership as well. The guest lecturer and genealogist will be Betty Christy of the Fielding Lewis Chapter. Old Noonday Daughters will be on hand to help with any questions.
Today's DAR is a growing and diverse group encompassing all colors, religions, and politics.

NSDAR website quote"The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, a worldwide service organization with nearly 3,000 chapters, is devoted to promoting historic preservation, education and patriotism. With more than 177,000 members, it has been one of the nation's most active service organizations since its founding in 1890. In just a few examples: Daughters provide financial support for scholarships, fund schools for underserved children, and volunteer time to local programs such as literacy tutoring. Members contribute thousands of hours of volunteer time in the nation's VA hospitals each year as well as provide support and encouragement to active military personnel through various programs. In communities across the country, local chapters distribute thousands of U.S. Flags each year, and welcome thousands of new citizens."

Lynn Forney Young, NSDAR President General, "Oftentimes when I tell people about our growing and thriving membership they ask me what I attribute this success to. There are so many things that influence women to join our Society and while these reasons are unique for each woman, overwhelmingly there are a few things that are common amongst a majority of members.
In local communities chapters are making strides in their grassroots efforts which in turn attract local women who see this group making a difference and they want to be a part of it. Many women see membership in DAR as a way to honor their family history and preserve their family genealogy for future generations. Others see DAR as an organization of women who share their common interests and hobbies and a great place to make new friends."
