I hope that 2012 was good climbing year for you all. If so, let's hear it! What were the top routes of 2012 for you? Try and keep lists below 10 if possible.
Excalibur - Wendenstöcke Switzerland
Several great trips to RRG, no broken bones for 4th year in a row...I'm good.
Birds of Fire, RMNP.
I did a lot of great mountains in the Sierra this year. Bear Creek Spire North Palisade Cathedral Peak Did some fun rock and ice routes but none that I'm terribly proud of. I'm hoping for more in 2013.
Original Route on Rainbow Wall (Red Rocks, March), the Black Dike (Cannon, NH, last ice season), and basically everything in Kalymnos (October).
N. Ridge of Mt. Stuart in a day, and Mt. Hayden in the Grand Canyon for me.
Trad 1 Venusian Blind 5.7, 14 pitches on temple crag in palisades. 2 West Crack 5.9 Tuolumne Meadowns. Mountaineering 3 Dana Coloiur in Tuolumne Meadows. 4 Thunderbolt Peak early season ascent in Palisades via colouir with half a pitch of 40° ice. Big Wall 5 South Face of Washington Column in the valley (bailed after Kor's wall due to heat)
A good bunch of routes at NRG and across NC, but here are a few that stand out: Homer Erectus- NRG (memorable because it was the 1st time I RP'ed the grade in just a couple of tries) Blue Chock- Moore's Wall, NC (had climbed before but had not led) Invisible Airwaves at Looking Glass, NC East Buttress of Middle Cathedral-Yosemite Central Pillar of Frenzy-Yosemite RNWF of Half Dome-Yosemite
While I didn't do as many long routes as i would've liked, Dream of Wild Turkeys and The Black Dagger in Red Rocks were both pretty fantastic. Points of Contact at T-Wall and Roseland at the Gunks were both memorable. Back to the Front at Seneca. Everything my fingers had the good fortune of touching at the New, but Rapscallions Blues, Black and Tan, and Lost Souls stand out as favorites.
I was fortunate to have a month-long break between jobs this summer, which I spent in the Sierra and Yosemite. Highlights included:
Nothing long or epic but...: 1. Nude ascent of Temples of Stone, 5.10a sport Payne's Ford NewZealand 2. Onsights of Waimea 5.10d and P1 of Tropicana 5.11a, Rumney NH 3. Leading trad at all. Hopefully 2013 sends some mentors my way (hint-hint). Racing In The Streets, 5.8 trad, Charleston, NZ 4. Flashing several V5s. Thrutching through the Unrepeatable Mantel V6, Castle Hill NZ 5. Returning to climbing shape after destroying my ankle Thanksgiving 2011 and Meeting/befriending new partners across the world :)
Did a couple spurt prodges. Got back to the wingate after too many years away. Did some fa's. did not do any big stuff this year, which I'm bummed about. Am more bummed about wrapping up the year with a broken foot.
Kautz Glacier on Rainier
Being part of a resque in May. Taking a 40 ft. fall and not injuring myself.
Summitted Cotopaxi - first mountaineering experience Lots of awesome climbing in Ecuador at new (to me) crags. Discovered Shortoff Mtn. in Linville Gorge - one of my new favorite crags after only one trip. Dopey duck, Construction Job, Straight and Narrow all stellar. Several great NRG trips - highlights include onsighting Legacy, Bullet the New Sky (on TR... redpoint is a goal for '13), Black and Tan, Burning Calves.
First ever trips to Rumney and Whitehorse Ledge in NH. First Sport Lead and multi-pitch (clip-a-dee-doo-da) First ever 5.10 and V4+ (up to 5.10- on lead in the gym) (not very impressive to most of you, I'm sure, but a big deal for me.)
Climbing w/ some hard cranking chicks. Everything else was pale in comparison.
First ever trad lead! I led 1st pitch of Safari Jive (5.8) at Looking Glass. Highlight of my life.
Celebrated my 50th birthday on top of Mt. Whitney. It was my first mountaineering experience.
In no particular order: Hald-dome in a day Positive Vibrations The Rostrum FA of Jolt Train - because I tried so hard I thought I was going to throw up Solar Slab to Eagle Dance link-up Desert Shield - despite not finishing we threw the wall rager of the century. I apologize to the parties sleeping on Moonlight Buttress that probably thought we were very, very annoying.
Being able to climb again after a little over a year off due to a head injury and being in a coma.
For me my top three (in this order) were: 1. Southwest Ridge, Peak 11,300 2. Astroman 3. Primrose Dihedrals
The Barb on Spearhead - RMNP Center Route on Cynical Pinnacle - South Platte "Fat Date" linkup at Lumpy Esthesia - Spider's Web, ADKs Fear of Touching Aerie linkup - Moss Cliff, ADK (best route in the park?) Beef Jello - City of Rocks, ID (hardest clean trad lead to date at 5.10d)

How to Pray for Persecuted Christians
When we read of the suffering which our brothers and sisters in Christ endure for the sake of His Name, our hearts are moved and we long to bring them before the throne of grace. But sometimes it is difficult to know exactly how to pray, especially if we have never experienced such injustice or persecution ourselves.
The Bible tells us that the Church will be persecuted. So if the Lord will continue to allow persecution, what exactly should we ask Him for when we pray about these situations? We hope that the ten points below will be helpful suggestions, under the guidance and prompting of the Holy Spirit.
Daily Prayer
The Lord has promised, "I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint." (Jeremiah 31:25)
Prayer Focus Update

Our bi-monthly prayer diary helps you to lift up the needs of the persecuted church each day.

Seeing things in colour is at the root of this Indian-born global technocrat's success.
Arnab Basu, CEO of British technology firm Kromek, remembers the first time he saw colours on a television screen. In 1982, during the Asian Games in New Delhi. At his friend's house in Kolkata, he was transfixed as colour blasted on to the screen for the Games' opening ceremony — a world away from the black-and-white images Indians were used to until then. "We just stared at the screen, it was amazing… the type of information you could get, the clarity, it was fantastic!" he recalls, seated in his office in a spacious park near the northern English town of Durham.
It's perhaps not surprising that 39-year-old Basu remembers the moment vividly. The difference that comes from seeing things in colour has been fundamental to the work of his company, which began in 2003 as a small offshoot of the Physics Department of Durham University. It has since burgeoned into a global pioneer in digital colour and three-dimensional X-ray imaging, valued at around £70 million (Rs 620 crore).
Over the years, Kromex has been involved in many high-profile projects. Most recently, its US subsidiary Nova provided a chip for radiation detection that was deployed on Mars after the landing of the Curiosity rover. Its colour 3D-scanner, capable of analysing large quantities of liquids, is on trial at various airports in Europe, and already in use in parts of Australia. It could make the tedious restrictions on liquids in hand-luggage a thing of the past. Two years ago, Ernst & Young selected Basu as their 'Entrepreneur of the Year'.
Colour detection has enabled identification of substances with a never-before degree of precision. "Colour makes all the difference to X-rays, which, like your eyes, can detect different levels of frequencies," he explains. He draws a parallel with the way our eyes see cranberry juice and orange juice in clear glasses — we have no definitive information that one is cranberry, but just by looking at the glass, our brain can make a decision based on information gleaned in childhood. "If I didn't have colour, I couldn't make that differentiation, and it's the same with X-rays."
The company has been quick to respond to market needs; in July it began selling in Japan RadAngel, a $2,200 (Rs 1.23 lakh) small, easy-to-comprehend radiation detector for households, based on the cutting-edge, precise technology it had developed for industry. The device — which plugs into a laptop, iPhone or iPad — uses a simple coding system to help people identify, and even share online, the kinds of radiation in the atmosphere, and find out if they should be concerned. It will give users precise information, rather than trigger unnecessary alarms. "The last thing you want to do is capitalise on some unknown fear factor that exists, you don't want to stoke that fear…" he says.
Kromek is unusual for another reason. It has been successful at commercialising materials developed at the university, in a country which doesn't have the best track record for translating research into business. A recent article in the Financial Times noted that even though wonder substance Graphene was invented at the University of Manchester, just 21 of the 2,224 patents on the material were in Britain, against 983 in the US, and 588 in China. Kromek now has around 200 patents.
Basu, whose father left the safety of a job in a British company to set up a materials business, came to Britain to study engineering. He moved to a division of technology firm Invensys to work on temperature and humidity sensors, which brought him in contact with the University of Durham. An offer of a Ph.D. followed soon after. "It was a challenging Ph.D. because it was very hands-on… my entire Ph.D. depended on the building of my experimental tool, which was a magnetron sputtering system (used to make coatings)."
As he was figuring out how to do this (he recalls his supervisor leading him to a room piled with what would become the building blocks of the device — a heap of old house supplies and instruments), he took an approach not usual for most Ph.D. candidates, by building a strong support network across several universities. "At the start of a Ph.D. you are taught to be completely self-sufficient and focused, but my approach was that I had to build networks, to utilise facilities, to utilise the expertise of others…"
After his doctorate, he was all set to move to London to take up a lucrative investment banking job. But along came an offer to lead a project to commercialise the production of two crystals developed by Durham, for use as digital and colour detectors of X-rays. Cadmium Telluride and Cadmium Zinc Telluride are at the heart of the company's work to this day. "It didn't take a lot of persuasion for me to say yes…" he recalls.
Then known as Durham Scientific Crystals, the company began on a small scale with a £17,000 (Rs 15 lakh) investment, but had prestigious customers from the start, including the European Space Agency. Gradually, the company built up its investors and customers, and raised funds — £24 million (Rs 210 crore) to date, including £1.6 million at the height of the financial crisis.
The big change, says Basu, came around 2008 after he realised the company had to move higher up the value chain — from a material producer to a supplier of complete solutions. "In 2008 we had the crystal technology, now we have crystal growth, electronics and chip design, algorithms, software…"
After buying US chipmaker Nova in 2010, the company makes products ranging from detectors used in nuclear plants to the Food Inspector — a smart-looking device that can detect contamination in food (the developers went to supermarket self-checkout tills for ideas to make the device user-friendly). Growing by 50 per cent annually, the company expects to double its workforce of 70 this year, as it expands to more international markets, including India.
Physically, too, the company has expanded rapidly, from a second-hand computer in a tiny room to a spacious 10,000-sq ft office in a business park home to other cutting-edge technology firms. The office has the buzz of an inventor's laboratory; the ground floor has testing rooms, where enthusiastic scientists show me some of the devices, including the RadAngel, which is surprisingly small. I plug it into an iPad and find it rather straightforward to figure out, even for someone as non-tech savvy as me.
Several people working here have moved from big MNCs; one of them says that here he enjoys being involved in making something from start to finish, rather than being a cog-in-the-wheel in his previous jobs. The most intriguing section is the "clean room" — a large, sterile, white-walled space where scientists in coats and caps prepare the crucial crystals (using raw materials mined in Canada, Russia and China), and assemble some of the devices (the bulk of the manufacturing is done elsewhere, though the RadAngel is put together here).
While Basu now spends most of his time with investors and customers, his enthusiasm for the products is palpable. He is eager to show me the company's latest contraption: A robot with a radiation detector, capable of climbing into places where no human would want to. He watches proudly as a technician gets the robot to confidently walk up a wall.
While Kromek focuses on the nuclear industry, security industry and the medical sector — it has a joint venture with the US to develop the next generation of early detectors for breast cancer — Basu believes the company's growth will mostly come from the nuclear industry in the short term. While its security work has garnered publicity across Europe, the regulatory processes can be slow. Its nuclear business, in contrast, will be immune to ups and downs as its products are needed both in commissioning and running a nuclear site as well as in decommissioning it, he says.
He is clear that the company will continue to focus on doing what sets it apart from the pack. "We are constantly in the market looking for gaps, talking to our customers," he says. "Good risk-takers are people who take calculated risks."

Patricia Krentcil, the mom who allegedly took her daughter into a tanning booth, responds to critics of her overly bronzed skin, calling them "ugly" and "jealous." NBC's Mara Schiavocampo reports.
Court officials say the New Jersey mom accused of taking her then-5-year-old daughter into a tanning booth is no longer on probation on a separate case.
Patricia Krentcil is free on $2,500 bond, charged with child endangerment following her arrest last month in Nutley.
The arrest got the attention of authorities in Camden County. That's where Krentcil was sentenced to five years' probation in 1999 for credit card theft, forgery and theft for writing bad checks.
In 2001, a bench warrant was issued for her failure to appear at a probation hearing.
New Jersey tanning mom denies charges of child endangerment
Court officials in Camden County on Friday said her probation had been terminated and she would not be required to appear in court.
Krentcil is due back in court next month to face the allegation of causing skin burns to her daughter, which authorities say occurred when the 5-year-old, red-haired, fair-skinned girl was put in a tanning booth. Krentcil has denied that, saying her daughter got a mild sunburn while playing outside on a warm day.
Body Odd: What caused tanning mom's leathery look?
In New Jersey, children under 14 are not allowed to tan at indoor salons, while those 14 to 17 years old may do so with signed parental consent.

GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) -- James Starks had Green Bay's first rushing touchdown in almost two months, Morgan Burnett picked off Christian Ponder twice and the Packers overcame a monster day by Adrian Peterson for a 23-14 victory Sunday over the Minnesota Vikings.
Peterson finished with 210 yards, the most he's had since blowing out his ACL and MCL last December. But the Vikings (6-6) clearly felt the absence of Percy Harvin, who missed his third straight game with a sprained ankle.
Ponder didn't help matters with his interceptions, one in the end zone and the other around the Green Bay 10. The Packers turned both miscues into field goals, giving them their 10th straight victory against an NFC North opponent.
The win also keeps the Packers' hopes for the (8-4) division title alive.

Gabriel Bianconi : Technology Entrepreneurship MOOC
I've always tried to learn beyond what's taught at school. I'd already learned much from online tutorials, but they usually lacked organization and continuity. Only recently made popular, MOOCs solve these problems (usually).
The first MOOC I joined was a course on Technology Entrepreneurship offered by Stanford University. I was still in high school; it was long before I became a member of it's Class of 2017.
The aim of this course was for students to learn about entrepreneurship while they tried to create their own startup in groups. This experience taught me a lot about the subject, but there are a few lessons that I feel are worth sharing.
1. Practical learning is awesome
This course's practical approach is what made it stand out for me. The lectures by professor Eesley were superbly insightful, but I feel that most of what I learned came from the projects.
Trying to do something by yourself is very rewarding. You often face obstacles and have to learn how to deal with them. Usually you have to go beyond what was taught to create something great. In the process, you learn things lectures can't teach you. It's the closest to real life you can get.
As a result, I think that the best way to learn about entrepreneurship is by trying to launch a startup. My group's project failed, but the experience and knowledge remain.
2. A motivated team is essential
This was actually the first lesson the course taught me. The teams for the first assignments were randomly chosen. My team, consisting of 10 people, was totally worthless. Some said they didn't have time. A few had just signed up for curiosity and didn't intend to participate. And the others were totally unreachable.
I tried to interact with others, but I was the only member who actually wanted to take that course. With the deadline in mind, I had to do the assignments on my own. Of course I learned something from them, but I'm sure I'd have learned much more if more members had engaged in discussion.
Luckily, my team for the startup project was very active. Although the project failed, I learned a lot from interacting with them.
3. International teams are a double-edged sword
The team for the startup project had members from several countries: China, Ecuador, India, Ireland, Latvia, Singapore, and the US. It was hard for all of us to communicate. For example, it was hard for me, living in Brazil, to chat with the member from China.
It was very hard for all members to be online at the same time. In order to overcome these problems, we used tools like Trello (task management), Skype (real-time conversation), and Facebook (chatting).
However, this characteristic of our team had positive aspects too. Each teammate had a different background and thus managed to contribute in a significant way. It also allowed us to be present in different parts of the world without big costs – something especially helpful for an early-stage startup. It was a very interesting experience to work in such a group.
4. Bootstrapping is usually possible with creativity and determination
As an early-stage startup without funding, it was fundamental for us to keep costs to a minimum. Sometimes this was hard, but with creativity and determination we made it possible.
For example, we needed a tool for task management and messaging. The most popular solution in the market is probably Basecamp – but it'd costs us at least $20/month. Therefore, we decided to search for alternatives. In the end, we found Trello, which together with a Facebook group solved our problem. The only cost we had during the project was a domain name.

Watchung Deli was open all day Saturday, Feb. 9, as the snow continued to settle outside.
The shop's owner, Robert, who requested that his last name not be published, was in bright and early waiting for crews to clear the adjacent municipal lot, waiting for his usual rush of customers.
Neither came.
The lot wasn't cleared until later that night, says Robert. Even then, due to densely-packed snow, an inch or two of ice coated the lot long after plows came through.
"You'd break your neck if you walked around there," the deli owner said.
The ice, Robert says, wasn't cleared until Monday evening when film crews came through to shoot a commercial in the area and plowed the lot themselves. Asked whether he believes the lack of timely snow and ice removal impacted his business in the meantime, the deli owner answered "Absolutely."
"They can take a look at my books," said Robert. "Yeah, it was horrendous."
During last Tuesday's Township Council meeting, Township Manager Marc Dashield indicated that Watchung Plaza was not the only municipal lot officials received complaints about. Dashield also identified the South End and Erie-Bellevue lots as concerns in the wake of the Feb. 9-10 snowstorm.
Montclair contracts out the plowing of all 31 of its municipal lots, Dashield told The Times. Of those, 19 are plowed by Lipinski Snow and Ice Management of Marlton. The other 12 are contracted out to Cenova Inc. of Philadelphia.
Watchung, South End and Erie-Bellevue are within Lipinski's responsibility.
Joe Hoey, the company's vice president of operations, told The Times on Monday that Lipinski has been in contact with the township since the storm to analyze problems associated with the lots' plowing. Problems, Hoey said, that include "timing issues."
"We understand the scope of the job," Hoey told The Times. "We've been able to perform up to scope. We did have some timing issues on this event that we were made aware of that probably led to some of the problems."
The township's contract with Lipinksi will conclude in the coming months, according to Dashield, who indicated that recent events would play into the township's decision when the project comes up for bid.
"The contracts are up as of April so we'll be definitely be taking a look at that, particularly based on the performance we just encountered," Dashield said.

The Detroit Tigers stayed hot at precisely the right time and have now moved into sole possession of first place in the American League Central. The Chicago White Sox came to Detroit over the weekend and the Tigers did not waste their opportunity. On Saturday, the Tigers cruised to a 7-1 victory and took over the top spot in the division.
The Tigers have taken the first two games of their three-game set against Chicago and now hold a half-game lead. They'll attempt to extend that lead in the series finale on Sunday.
These teams look like they're on two very different trajectories at the moment. The Tigers are 8-2 over their last 10 games and have won four in a row, while the White Sox are just 3-7 over their last 10 and have dropped four straight.
Chicago can reclaim first place with a win on Sunday, but the Tigers are firing on all cylinders at the moment.

These are defintely worth the money and are working exactly how I intended them to. After remodeling my office, I didnt wanted to go back to multiple desks as 2-3 people use this home office. I was looking for more of a work station setup and these tables are perfect for that. I purchased 3 and they are positioned in a u-shape so u can wheel around to whichever tabel has the pcs, printers, phones, scanners and fax machine. Underneath is all open so its easy to plug stuff in. U can get cord organizers to make it look nicer. They are very very sturdy- unlike the plastic/resin banquet tables u can buy for less $$ at walmart for example. I love that these are adjustable height also. The ONLY thing I am disappointed in is that I was planning on putting rolling drawers underneath but the table "bars" come down 2 far and u cant do that. I will find other storage ideas. I LOVE the blue color against the maize yellow of my office too. Nice and strong. Dont see these ever sagging from the weight of all the computers and such. Would buy again!
Was able to seat 16 at both my dining table and this one combined for a proper sit-down Thanksgiving dinner. My only wish is that it would have been equal to the width of my dining table but it seems this is the standard width for all folding tables. I love that it is height adjustable and will use it for kid's birthday parties etc, going foward. Good sturdy product for the money - should last a while.
These tables are a great price and with low cost membership the shipping was free. We had looked at other colored tables on line and the shipping costs were very high. We ordered one for a toddler room and liked it so much we ordered four more for our children's church. They are very durable/solid and the height is easily adjusted.
I use this very sturdy and attractive table to teach art lessons and to do my own art work. It can withstand a classroom full of kids and is very solidly built. I love the blue color. I highly recommend it.
It's very hard to find adjustable tables. None of the big stores in my area carry them. I was so happy to find the perfect one on Overstock. It was just what we needed for my grandson's birthday party. We could make it the perfect height for 3-7 year olds to do a craft project on. Because of the adjustable height, we'll use it for extra places at the Thanksgiving table, too, for adults.
Great long, beautifully red table. Stable. A little heavy for grandparents to move but that equals sturdiness. Ask grandkids over 16 to move it! Sat nine easily at Thanksgiving. Just be advised no room for food dishes as it is narrow, but candles and centerpieces (and wine bottles) can fit as long as they aren't huge! Excellent value and Overstock shipped it so fast I was thrilled (we ordered a week before the holiday also). Height adjust-ability a big plus. Will use for years to come.

County 1 Yate 3 (AET)
10:34pm Tuesday 23rd October 2012 in Newport County By Andrew Penman
TEN-MAN Newport County AFC were dumped out of the FA Cup by lowly Yate Town on a miserable night for the hosts at Rodney Parade.
Justin Edinburgh's men looked to be heading for a tie with League Two high-fliers Cheltenham Town on Saturday week thanks to Aaron O'Connor's first half strike.
But they were reduced to 10 men for the last 25 minutes of normal time when returning captain David Pipe picked up two cheap yellow cards and were forced into extra time after conceding a controversial penalty with 20 minutes remaining.
Tom Knighton scored from the spot and Scott Thomas and Jake Groves sealed a memorable win for the Southern League South & West's bottom side in extra time as County finally ran out of fight.
The visitors are 90 places below County in the non-league pyramid but, just like in the 3-3 draw on Saturday, they played way above themselves and deservedly earned a big scalp in football's oldest cup competition.
Despite the defensive deficiencies last weekend, Edinburgh resisted the temptation to rush back Ismail Yakubu and Andrew Hughes from injury.
The Exiles boss made just one change to his starting XI with captain David Pipe fit to return in place of Mike Flynn, which allowed Max Porter to revert back to his natural midfield berth.
That meant that Lee Minshull once again partnered Saturday's goal hero Tony James in central defence and this was another uncomfortable game for the man known as the Tank.
On a less than raucous night at Rodney Parade there was a quiet start to the action as well as both sides took a while to settle.
Ben Swallow was the most lively individual in the early stages and he set up Jake Thomson for the first attempt on goal after 15 minutes.
The Trinidadian midfielder dragged his attempt well wide from 20 yards out but Swallow went much closer minutes later as he drifted in from the left wing and let fly with a vicious drive that only cleared the bar by a matter of inches.
Jefferson Louis got on the end of Andy Sandell's free-kick after half an hour but his header at the far post was easily held by Josh Dempsey in the Yate goal.
The hosts were on top but the longer the game went on the more confident Yate became and they had a good spell of pressure just before the break as Tom Knighton, Mitchell Page and James Harmer all had chances to break the deadlock.
County were looking vulnerable to the long ball over the top but that man O'Connor banished any nerves that may have been creeping in as he scored his 12th goal of the season on 43 minutes.
Louis claimed an assist as he nodded a corner into O'Connor's path and the ex-Luton striker had the simple task of tapping in from a few yards out to claim a priceless half-time lead.
After his goal O'Connnor revealed a T-shirt in tribute to his former Rushden & Diamonds teammate Dale Roberts who committed suicide in 2010 and would have been 26 on Monday.
The Exiles failed to build on their lead but everything seemed to be going to plan until Pipe picked up his second booking on 65 minutes.
That woke the crowd up and put a spring in the step of the Yate players. Five minutes later they were level.
Lenny Pidgeley was booked for barging Page over in the box and up stepped Knighton to level the scores and put the match on course for extra time.
Yate were counting down the clock and were almost punished when County substitute Ryan Charles nearly won it in injury time as he pounced on the rebound from a Minshull drive but Dempsey denied him with a point-blank save and earned his side another half hour.
As is so often the case, extra-time was a cagey affair and, with County understandably tiring, it was Yate who looked most dangerous.
Pidgeley saved superbly from Groves and punched the ball away from under his own bar twice in the first period.
Lee Evans tested Dempsey with an angled drive at the other end but in the second period the part-timer's extra man proved decisive.
Edinburgh was not happy with the referee's performance but must now focus on lifting his team for the visit of Woking on Saturday.
Yes, County will be concentrating on the league this season.

Can't criticise the subs because quite frankly I couldn't care less about the cup but our lack of strength in depth is alarming. Those with any sense have been warning about our defense since the start of the season, espeically as Yakubu inevitably gets injured. We've been crap for the last four games now.

I just hope the confidence and team workrate that deservedly got County to top of the league doesn't evaporate. Good teams are lucky teams and we've had our share of luck. It's time to sort some problems and not rely on luck. Support the County !
Support the County.

Over the next 10 days, we're looking back at 10 moments from #2012 that made us proud to be Democrats.—
The Democrats (@TheDemocrats) December 22, 2012
The Democratic Party is getting set to offer its top 10 countdown of moments this year that made them proud to be Democrats. That's one gift on Twitter that conservatives just can't wait to open. We're pretty sure we can guess what No. 1 is going to be, but how will the rest of the top 10 shake down? Which will rank higher on the pride list: taking God out of the party platform, or booing when God was put back in?
While we wait for the official list, here are some guesses at what makes you #ProudToBeADemocrat2012.

Adam Rogers was born and raised in New York City. He studied jazz guitar with Barry Galbraith, Howard Collins and John Scofield. During his four years at the Mannes Conservatory of Music he studied Classical Guitar with Frederic Hand. Since the beginning of his professional career he has played on over Two Hundred commercially released recordings and toured extensively throughout the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan, South America, The Middle East and Russia. Adam has been enthusiastically reviewed in the New York Times, Downbeat, Jazz Times, The Village Voice, Newsweek, Jazz Hot, The Chicago Sun Times and Tower Pulse Magazine among numerous other periodicals worldwide....

(an) exceptional Guitarist.. - Bob Blumenthal, Boston Globe
A searing electric solo by Rogers - Jazz Times
"One of the best Guitarists of the Century"- Dresden Zeitung
MICHAEL BRECKER QUARTET. The influential tenor saxophonist is supporting a new record, ''Time Is of the Essence'' (Verve), and his recent performances have been powerful. He has a great groover's rhythm section, with the drummer Idris Muhammad and the organist Larry Goldings, and the guitarist Adam Rogers is given enough space within Mr. Brecker's easy-to-follow constructions to prove that he's ready for the major leagues. - Ben Ratliff, New York Times
Michael Brecker's quintet, built around the leader's tenor and Adam Rogers' guitar work.Brecker's choice of guitarist Adam Rogers as his front-line mate, meanwhile, was especially inspired. Rogers (who will be back to lead his own group Oct. 16 and appear with trumpeter Randy Brecker on Oct. 17) is a superb melodist with a plethora of interesting ideas to share. Moreover, his approach to the instrument is an essentially hornlike one, making him the perfect foil for Brecker, who is often cited for taking electric-guitar lines and playing them on sax David Prince, Santa Fe New Mexican
Guitarist Adam Rogers scares me, quite frankly. Still a young guy, he's got a vast range of experience (with everyone from Walter Becker to Norah Jones to Zorn to the post fusion group Lost Tribe which he co-led) and some of the most vertiginous chops you're likely to hear. What makes Rogers such an interesting musician (and i think he may well be the finest mainstream guitarist working today, though his style is more diverse than that label suggests) is the consistency of his vision, his imagination and his sheer musicality - Jason Blivins, Signal to noise
Musicians like Guitarist Adam Rogers perform with exquisite control and grace - Jack Kroll, Newsweek
Rogers revealed an array of effects (via mournful slide, volume-pedal colorations and trebly swipes below the bridge of his guitar) that might have proved gimmicky if not for a tasteful sense of timing and volume. Later, Rogers tackled Metheny's Song for Bilbao with a deconstructive, biting flow that seemed more like King Crimsons Robert Fripp. - Boston Globe
That clear, rich and full tone - along with Rogers' uncannily fluid linear style, pristine articulation and daring improvisational streak - has graced recordings by such a diverse list of musicians as Michael and Randy Brecker, Norah Jones and Lizz Wright among others. Bill Milkowski, Jazz Times
One of the most exciting and thoughtful players on the scene - Josef Woodard, Jazziz
The best tracks are those with guitarist Adam Rogers and tenor saxophonist Michael Brecker, each of whom produces a challenge that triggers a few moments of creative illumination.... L.A. Times
" Rogers favored long, lean phrases, often interrupting their flow with sudden flurries of fast-fingered bop lines" Don Heckman, L.A. Times
...the guitar work of Adam Rogers was continuously compelling. L.A. Times
"Matthew Garrison played the Jazz Gallery on his birthday, June 2, with Adam Rogers on guitar, Jojo Mayer on drums, and Arto Tuncboyacian on percussion and vocals. Rogers was technically stunning, his lines a maze of rhythmic and intervallic invention. (Guitar nerd tangent: Rogers's merciless right hand is the very model of precision and control. His fretting approach seems to pivot on fingers two and four, rather than one and three. He could probably lift weights with his left pinky.)" All About Jazz.com
"Guitarist Adam Rogers can rock hard when he wants to (just listen to Lost Tribe), but he decided to go straightahead on his long-awaited debut disc, Art of the Invisible (Criss Cross). Leading a quartet with pianist Edward Clarence Penn, Rogers celebrated the record release at the Jazz Gallery, giving the audience a dose of his deadly chops and Long Ago and Far Away. On this and the serpentine original Absalom, Simon held back a bit; he sprang fully into action on the blues Bobo, playing inspired games with Penn, stretching rhythmic ideas over barlines and even entire choruses. Rogers gets his iron tone by using both a Fender amp and a Walter Woods bass head. It's a pleasure to hear him as a leader, taking strides toward the top of the heap, where he belongs." All About Jazz.com
"After racking up an illustrious and highly diversified resumé as a sideman, guitarist Adam Rogers stepped out as a leader with the long-awaited Art of the Invisible on the Criss Cross label. Joined by pianist Edward Simon, bassist Scott Colley, and drummer Clarence Penn, Rogers displays staggering straight-ahead jazz chops and a sophisticated compositional voice. His program runs the gamut from standards and blues (Long Ago and Far Away, Bobo) to free (The Aleph). Other highlights include the deft arpeggiated lines of The Invisible and Book of Sand, the blistering minor blues of In Broad Daylight, the flowing lyricism of Absalom, and the dark-hued balladry of Cathedral and The Unvanquished. In addition to his clean, sturdy tone and stunning technical facility on electric (he brings Metheny to mind at times), Rogers plays sumptuously on both nylon- and steel-string acoustic instruments during the course of the record. Fans of modern jazz guitar, and highly refined jazz composition in general, should watch this player closely." -- David R. Adler, All Music Guide
What's the best way to find out who's the best guitarist in New York
Simple-ask a few apple-based guitarists (or any other instrumentalists, for that matter). I've conducted an informal poll and the answer I've gotten more often than not is the leader here, who I've counted among the world's finest plectrists for almost a decade now. 2002 is shaping up to be nothing less than the "Year of Adam Rogers", with a hefty role taken in fantastic new releases by Scott Colley and Alex Sipiagin and notable appearances on Chris Potter's Traveling Mercies, The Mingus Big band's Tonight at Noon and a fairly well received debut by Miss Norah Jones. Now, finally, Criss Cross Jazz gives us the long deserved and long overdue debut by quite simply, one of the world's finest guitarists- ever. Adam's been developing his incredible gifts in a variety of genres throughout his career, and clearly finds fascination and inspiration in all musical places; from fusion to pop to mainstream to ethnic to avant garde. This record finds him at his essence-swinging, mainstream, contemporary, small group, post-bop guitar nirvana. Guitar lovers-stop right now and buy this one before anything else this year because Adam's put himself right at the head of New York's, and therefore the world's, elite cadre of incredible players pushing the instrument's future forward. Highlights? The entirety of the outing swings incredibly hard or waxes gorgeously soft, with one standard and eight originals from Adam's mighty pen. Seems as though Mr. Rogers has known all along that composition, not merely prodigious technique on the instrument, is at the core of consequence on the musical map. That said, his skills as a pure player are absolutely mind-boggling, with long lines and phraseology extending the lineage of Martino, Montgomery and Benson, extruding a tone from a Gibson ES-335 so phat and warm it could be coming from a jazz box three times the width. One of the instrument's great compers as well, he relinquishes that role for the most part here to the refined and harmonically astute pianist Eduardo Simon. What a quartet he's assembled - Michael Brecker Band mates Clarence Penn, who stirs and swings the date hard and is full of surprises on the kit, and Scott Colley, a complete player with velvety tone on acoustic bass, round out the band. Compositionally, it's full of layers. Listen to "Cathedral" for heart rendering piano and crystalline single note work emphasizing Rogers' mastery of linear phraseology, especially his uncanny ability to speed up and slow down the tempo of any given line and return to the phrase at precisely the right nanosecond. On "Book of Sand" he brings authentic classical technique to the fore while "In Broad Daylight" and "Bobo" take Martino's and Montgomery's way with a minor blues to the next level, indeed. I had the pleasure of sitting stage side for Michael Brecker's Boston run last year. After that incredible string of performances, I remember leaving the club thinking Adam had nudged the bar delimiting the role of the small-group guitarist in a pianoless quartet up just a little further than it had been prior to that day. With Art of the Invisible, he's accomplished nothing less than raising the bar for all of mainstream jazz guitardom. ~ Phil DiPietro, All about jazz.com

Guitarist Adam Rogers could conquer the world. Here, Rogers displays Herculean chops to complement a strong compositional pen. His generally, blistering forays with tenor saxophonist Chris Potter and pianist Edward Simon are framed upon fluctuating movements and swiftly executed unison passages. The guitarist's muse consists of a budding impetus that is pleasantly, in-your-face. Even so, the quintet commingles meticulously crated solos with a thrusting attack, sparked by Potter's rip-roaring and gutsy solos. They tone it down in spots, amid snaky patterns and crisp swing vamps. But it's the sum of the rather dynamic parts that elevates this set onto a higher state of musical consciousness. (A top jazz pick for 2005) All about jazz
Kurt Rosenwinkel, Ben Monder, and Liberty Ellman are just a few of the notable modern day guitarists who are making own their marks in technique and ability. Adam Rogers also falls into this category, but the question remains for any artist: how does one distinguish his own identity? Rogers' new release may not sound altogether different from some of the postmodern bop variations, but it is distinct in its balance of both the art of high composition and performance.With chops honed as a sideman on many recording sessions, Rogers' hollowbody fretboard prowess competes with some of the best, but he stands out the most compositionally with detailed, complex, and interesting ideas. This is clearly the trend he's taken on his two previous recordings as a leaderArt of the Invisible (2002) and Allegory (2003)so if you're looking for the standard fare, think again. Rogers has recorded with a core group of players who all have extensive resumes as both sidemen and leaders. Clarence Penn is a versatile drummer with innate skills; Scott Colley is an in-demand bassist who's performed on numerous recordings; Edward Simon combines a most interesting jazz and Latin feel with a classic style; and Chris Potter's horn prowess speaks for itself. These guys have bonded and cooked together, and Apparitions continues in the same creative flow. The aptly named opening "Labyrinth" is packed with sudden twists and turns. Unison sax/guitar lines evolve into defined solo spaces; Rogers leads the way with rapid and intricate notes, prefacing other hearty spots by the sax and drums. "The Maya" shows how the group executes the depth of the expert rhythm section. The mood can change quickly from hot tempos to icy moments, as on the dark title piece. "Continuance" may appease those looking for Wes Montgomery-like grooves, but with added detail, multiple cadence changes, and some incendiary solos from everyone. Two other interesting cuts include "Tyranny of Fixed Numbers," where Rogers shows his lighting-quick skills on a distorted Stratocaster, and its acoustic counterpart, "Moment in Time," where the guitarist explores his steel-string persona.

Alice Corporation Pty. Ltd. v. CLS Bank International
Are claims to computer-implemented inventions—including claims to systems and machines, processes, and items of manufacture—patent-eligible subject matter?
Alice Corporation was granted patents on several processes and systems relating to the use of computer software to facilitate securities trading and reduce risks of parties not fulfilling contractual obligations. CLS Bank developed software for its own use in similar transactions. CLS brought an action for declaratory judgment, asserting that Alice's patents were subject-matter ineligible because they did no more than recite abstract ideas regarding fundamental economic concepts. Alice counterclaimed, asserting that CLS infringed Alice's patents. The district court found the Alice patents invalid, but the Federal Circuit reversed, holding that Alice's patents fell within the "abstract ideas" exception to the generally broad policy of patent eligibility. Alice argues that the abstract ideas exception is meant to be read narrowly and apply to fundamental truths such as facts of nature. CLS counters that Alice's patents merely cover fundamental economic concepts and that these should fall within the exception. At issue is a basic question about the scope of patent-eligible subject matter, and the breadth of the abstract ideas exception. The Court's decision could fundamentally alter the scope of what is patentable. The decision may encourage innovation in the software and other industries by rewarding those who expend resources to bring about a useful product to the public.
Whether claims to computer-implemented inventions—including claims to systems and machines, processes, and items of manufacture—are directed to patent-eligible subject matter within the meaning of 35 U.S.C. § 101 as interpreted by this Court?
In securities trading, when two parties agree to a trade there is often a time lapse between when the parties enter into the agreement and when the actual trade is performed. See CLS Bank Int'l v. Alice Corp., 717 F.3d 1269, 1274 (Fed Cir. 2013).

Hi all
On Series 60:
I look for information about 2 issues :
1) how can hide the dialling box or controll the text written in it (after I initiated a call).
The thing is that I don't want the user to see the number I dial ,
but I also want to keep my app in the background and not force it to go to the foreground.
Any ideas ?
2) I want to delete an outgoing call entry from the outgoing call log , Please refer me to relevant info which I can use in order to do this .
Thank you very much :-)

The Benton Lady Panthers used three different pitchers Monday afternoon to prepare for this weekend's state tournament as Benton defeated Watson Chapel 4-0 on the road.
"I sat down with them before the game and told them we were going to go 2-2-3," coach Eric Ryan said. "We wanted to try to get some work in and get ready for the tournament."
Jessica Smith pitched the first two innings, allowing one hit with two strikeouts and no walks. Lauren White pitched the next two innings, allowing two hits with no strikeouts and no walks but did hit a batter.
The Benton Panthers defeated Monticello 12-2 in a non-conference game Monday at home. Benton, who has already secured the two seed in the 6A State Tournament, scored three runs in the first inning, five in the second, three in the third and one in the fourth.
Monticello scored a run in the first and fifth innings.
Following back-to-back singles by Greg Pryor and Garrison Roy to lead off the bottom of the second, Levon Steward hit a three-run home run. Two outs later, Joseph Henry singled, and Stuart Levy hit a two-run home run to give the Panthers a 8-1 lead.
In a battle for the 7A Central title, the Lady Hornets came up short Monday, losing 4-3 to North Little Rock in extra innings.
However, since both teams have only two conferences losses, both will share the title of conference champion.
Bryant (21-5, 12-2 7A Central) lost both of its conference games at the hands of North Little Rock, who earned the No. 1 seed in the state tournament beginning Friday in Bentonville.
The Sheridan Yellowjackets defeated Texarkana 10-5 Friday night to secure the No. 3 seed in next week's 6A State Tournament in Marion.
Zac Perkins pitched a complete game, with really one bad inning coming in the third. Two walks, two errors and a hit allowed for Texarkana to score three runs to trim the deficit to 6-3, after Sheridan had scored six runs in the bottom of the first.
The Central Arkansas USBC Bowling Association will be inducting three members, including one Benton resident, into their bowling Hall of Fame on May 21 at the Cajuns Wharf restaurant in Little Rock.
Wilma Laha, Danny Fuller and Benton resident Felicia Burlison will all be inducted this month.
Laha, who has been bowling for nearly 45 years, is being inducted for her service with association after serving at nearly every position, including secretary, vice president, and on the board of directors.
She was voted secretary of the year two times.
Glen Rose advanced to the 3A Region 2 Tournament final Saturday with a 4-3 extra inning win over Cutter-Morning Star.
The Lady Beavers, the tournament No. 3 seed, will face No. 1 seed Rosebud t 5 p.m. Monday at Harding Academy in Searcy.
With a win, Glen Rose will earn a No. 1 seed in the state tournament beginning Friday in Prescott. By winning Friday, the Lady Beavers already earned a spot in the state tournament, and winning Saturday earned them at least a No. 2 spot.
The Sheridan Lady Yellowjackets defeated Texarkana 7-6 Friday night to secure the No. 1 seed in the 6A State Tournament with a 13-1 record in the 6A South.
Texarkana took a 5-0 lead in the top of the third. A fielder's choice and a two-run home run gave them a 2-0 lead. After a couple of hits and a walk, Texarkana hit a line drive to right center to score three more and take the early five-run lead.
"It was just one of those deals where they were hitting the ball," coach Eddie Woodall said. "Our pitching wasn't exactly sharp, but they were knocking the fire out of it."
The Lady Beavers beat 3A Region 2 Tournament host Harding Academy 7-4 Friday to advance to the next round of the tourney.
Glen Rose, a No. 3 seed, now faces No. 1 seed and 3A-5 Conference foe Cutter-Morning Star at 1:45 p.m. today. Harding was the tournament No. 2 seed.
Cutter beat No. 4 seed Bald Knob 15-0 Friday. The Lady Beavers beat Cutter during the regular season, but lost to them in the district tournament.
Head coach Kyle Lem said, "We played pretty hard, pretty sound. We hit the ball better, but we're still not where we need to be."
The Benton Panther soccer team won the 6A South Conference Thursday night, defeating Lake Hamilton in penalty kicks at home. Tied at 2 at the end of regulation, Benton keeper Eric Powers "made a great save" on the last attempt by Lake Hamilton to secure the victory.
"If we had loss, there would have been a four-way tie for first," coach Wes Ables said. "We would have had the four seed [in the state tournament]. So it was pretty important to get the win."
BRYANT — With a win Thursday the Hornets clinched their third 7A Central title in three years, as well as a No. 1 seed in the 7A State Tournament next week in Fort Smith.
Bryant split a doubleheader with Little Rock Catholic Thursday, winning the first game 3-2 with a comeback rally and walk-off hit in the bottom of the last inning.
Tied 2-2 with two outs, senior Lucas Castleberry brought in senior Evan Jobe from second base to win the game.

The NRA's clout: It comes from the people
In the days since the horrible tragedy in Newtown, Conn., there has been a great deal of talk about the "power" of the National Rifle Association (NRA). As gun-control advocates present it, the NRA is this great, malevolent force that gets common-sense gun-control legislation killed through some mysterious combination of money, deceit and corruption. They have it all wrong.
Gun rights are not popular in America because the NRA is so politically influential. The NRA is politically influential because gun rights are popular.
There was no NRA when James Madison penned the Second Amendment, and the belief that the Constitution protected the individual right to bear arms pre-dates the NRA. (UCLA constitutional law professor Adam Winkler has detailed how the 14th Amendment was proposed and ratified in part to guarantee that former slaves could not be disarmed, as the Ku Klux Klan and many Southern state legislators were trying to do.)
Many on the left believe that if the American people do not agree with them, then the people must have been brainwashed by powerful forces. They cannot fathom why their opposition to guns and gun rights is not the dominant view. It must be that evil NRA.
But the NRA did not write the Second Amendment or make it popular. The group would have little clout if it did not have 4 million members and the support of millions of non-member gun owners who see a need to become politically active to protect their right to bear arms from liberals who openly advocate eroding it.

Borger, TX -- With synthetic drugs taking an ever-larger presence in the public eye, one area city is taking matters into its own hands.
On Tuesday (Mar. 19), Borger city council members approved a new ordinance that not only declares synthetic drugs illegal, but gives police the authority to enforce it.
Currently, synthetic drugs present a host of legal complexities and logistical headaches for lawmakers and police. Testing for any of the substances currently outlawed by state law can take weeks, and the chemical makeup of the drugs themselves is easily changed.
Borger's ordinance broadens the definition to include anything that acts as an intoxicant.
"In our ordinance, we also cover that gray area," explains council member Brandy Callahan, "If it gets you high, if it causes certain effects that mimic the illegal substances, it falls under this act."
Borger police will have the authority to issue citations of up to $2,000, seize property, and even make arrests for the sale or possession of synthetic drugs. Lieutenant Anthony Griffin of the Borger PD says the new ordinance will give local police the teeth they need to crack down on synthetic drugs.
"This lets us go straight to the source, and start making arrests or issue citations, and get those people into court," says Griffin.
Borger city officials say they hope other cities follow suit in their own jurisdictions.
"Ultimately, tougher laws have got to come from the state and federal government," says Callahan. "But until then, cities like ours are going to do whatever we can to combat the issue."
The law is set to be enacted April 2nd and will take effect shortly thereafter.
And police say it will apply to anyone caught with synthetic drugs in Borger - not just Borger residents.
