The ISA Contest Director reserves the right to make necessary changes to any course or schedule due to conditions related to the safety of competitors.
Representation The ISA will ONLY accept a valid passport from the country the athlete is representing as proof of nationality for participation in World Championship events. The only exception is for National Identification cards issued by the National Government of the team country that clearly shows "Nationality or Citizenship." Note: Such a card showing place of birth but not Nationality or Citizenship of the athlete will not be accepted as place of birth does not provide automatic citizenship in many countries. The ISA will not accept any other form of government documentation supporting a passport or eligibility of passport to verify nationality. This policy will be implemented immediately and has been updated in the ISA rulebook. Once a competitor has surfed for a country in any ISA event, he/she generally may not surf for another country at future ISA sanctioned International Events. If an athlete is allowed to represent a second nation based on the conditions set forth in Paragraph b of By-Laws to rule outlined below, he/she may not change back to representing his/her original country. Special exemptions may be considered, however, after presentation to the Executive Committee at least three (3) months prior to the start of any ISA sanctioned event. Requests for exemption will only be considered if received in writing through the affiliated NGB to the Executive Committee via the ISA office, with certified copies of all relevant documentation (passport, letters from/to National Sports Organizations or Home Affairs Offices, etc) accompanying representation. *Please see the ISA rulebook for By-Laws. Drug Testing Drug Testing will follow the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) guidelines and will be conducted during the competition. A selected group of finalists plus three (3) random tests will be conducted. To check on the updated list of banned substances, go to the WADA website www.wada-ama.org. If an athlete is required to take medication to treat an illness or condition which happens to fall under the Prohibited List, a Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) may give that athlete the authorization to take the needed medicine. Please contact the ISA to submit all TUEs at least 30 days prior to the start of the competition. Passports & Visas Please check with your travel agent or your Foreign Affairs Department for requirements. You can also get additional visa information by visiting www.cancilleria.gob.ni. Visitors must provide evidence of return or onward travel in the form of an itinerary or air ticket. Travel Vaccines Please contact your Foreign Affairs Department for further information. Travel Insurance The ISA strongly recommends that each team procures travel insurance (including, but not limited to accident, liability and medical) for all of their participants. We suggest that team insurance cover accidents or injuries sustained while in Nicaragua, including those treated in Nicaragua or in the country of their return upon leaving Nicaragua.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
Out of the box the twentytwelve theme uses a font from the Google Fonts library called Open Sans as its main font. Earlier in the course, I used CSS in my child theme to override that font so that we are instead using Georgia. But now I want to replace the Google Font Open Sans with a different Google Fonts using a function and enqueuing a style sheet. Before I do anything else, I need to get rid of the styles in the child theme style sheet that are causing the site to display using the Georgia font.
So I'll go to my child theme, find the style.css file, and find the style that's causing Georgia to be used. It's right here, so I'll simply remove that style and save the style sheet, go back and reload the page, and now we are using Open Sans as we should. The next step is to get rid of the Open Sans font, and here is something really cool. If you open functions.php from twentytwelve and scroll down a bit, you'll find a section where Open Sans is added. It's right here.
But you'll also find that the people who built twentytwelve were really meticulous when they added documentation to do theme. So they explain everything that's going on and they also gave you examples of how you can turn things on and off. One of those things they give examples of is how to disable, in a child theme, the font. They say you can use wp_dequeue_style, and they even give you code example to do just that. So can simply copy the code example, open your child theme functions.php file, and paste the code example right in.
You have to do a little bit of cleanup here so that it looks better. And then before we save, it we should take a look at this function and see what's going on. What's happening here is we are creating a function. It's called mytheme_dequeue_fonts, and all the function does is it dequeues the style that's called in twentytwelve fonts. So if we jump to functions.php from the parent theme, you'll find that here we are enqueueing the style twentytwelve-fonts, so all we are doing is just dequeuing this function.
To make it all work there is an add_ action call, and the add_action call calls mytheme_dequeue_fonts down here and stacks it after the parent theme functions.php file has been run. That's why you have 11 at the end. So if I this, go back to my browser, and reload this page, you'll see that the font changes ever so slightly. That's because the font now fell back to the next option in the font family, which is either Helvetica or Arial or Sans Serif.
Now that I've gotten rid of Open Sans, I can add in my new Google Font in the same way that Open Sans was originally added, using an enqueue_style function. First I need to find the font I want, so I'll go to golden Google Web Fonts and search. Now, if you've never been to Google Web Fonts before, I highly recommend it. This is a large quantity of free fonts you can use on your website that are hosted by Google, so they don't really slow down your website. Once you find a font you like-- let's say this Archivo Narrow-- you see simply click Quick-use, select what weight you want to use, and then go down here where you can see the code you need to add this font to your site.
Here we have a link to a style sheet, and that's what I actually need, so I'll copy the link to the style sheet, go back into functions.php for my child theme, and then I need to add an enqueue style function into my child theme. I already have a function here that is running, so I might as well just add it to that function. So I'll go down here, say wp_enqueue_style. Then I need to give my new style a name so I'll steal the name from the actual font.
This font is called Archivo Narrow, so let's say ArchivoNarrow, comma, and then I need to put in the URL to the style sheet itself. I'll just paste that in, end the parentheses, and a semicolon to end the function. So now an addition to mytheme_dequeue_ fonts dequeuing the original font, it's also enqueuing a new font. I'll save this, reload my browser, and as you can see, nothing happened.
That's because although we now enqueued the font style into this site, we're now telling the site to use the font. Just to make sure that everything is working, we need to make sure that we actually have the font style sheet in our site. We can use the Developer tools to do that. If we go Ctrl+Shift+I to open the Developer tools and then go to Resources and your own site here, WordPress and then under Stylesheets, you should see the link to fonts.googleapis.com. And if you click on it, you get the styles for this font.
Now that you have the styles for the font, you can activate it on your site. If you look closely at the page from Google Fonts and you scroll all the way down, you see here there is an example of how you can use this font. You simply add this font-family. So what I am going to do is go back to my style.css file, create a new style for body, paste in font-family Archivo Narrow, and then just close the body style. I'll save that, reload my page, and now you see we're using the new font instead of the old one.

County Executive Leopold Announces Bond Sale that Saved Taxpayers $3.5 Million
Low interest rate achieved in part from strong bond rating
Annapolis (August 17, 2009) - County Executive John R. Leopold today announced that a recent sale of $53.3 million in general obligation bonds will result in a reduction of future interest payments totaling $3.5 million to Anne Arundel County.
"This bond sale was like refinancing the mortgage on your house, and our strong bond rating - including a AAA rating from Standard & Poors - helped us get a good rate that means real savings," County Executive Leopold said. "This refund will help both our general fund and our construction budget in these trying budget times."
The bonds were sold in July to refund Consolidated General Improvement and Water and Sewer bonds issued in 1995 and 1999 at an interest rate of 2.81 percent. Taxpayers benefit from the low interest rate received from the competitive bidding process.
Morgan Keegan & Co., Inc. was the winning bidder. The bond sale comes after Standard & Poors, Fitch Ratings and Moody's Investors Service all reported that Anne Arundel County will maintain its bond ratings, including AAA from Standard & Poors.

November 28, 2014
WASHINGTON (AP) Business orders for long-lasting manufactured goods shot up by the largest amount on record in July but much of the strength came from a huge surge in demand for commercial aircraft. Outside of transportation, orders actually fell.
The Commerce Department says orders for durable goods rose 22.6 percent in July on a seasonally adjusted basis, the largest one-month gain on record. The strength came from a 318 percent increase in orders for civilian aircraft which helped lift orders for transportation equipment by a record 74.2 percent.
But excluding transportation, orders fell 0.8 percent, and a key category that serves as a proxy for business investment plans dropped 0.5 percent, but this dip came after a sizable 5.4 percent rise in the previous month.

Seed Treatment Discovery Could Cut Pesticide Use
Story supplied by LU Press Office
Lancaster Environment Centre researchers have discovered a potential new way of making crops more resilient to pests by treating seeds with jasmonic acid.
Jasmonic acid (JA) is one of a plant's natural defences against being eaten. When a bug takes a bite of one of its leaves, JA is one of the chemical signals that warn other leaves to mobilise their pest defences - making them difficult to digest.
It has long been understood that by spraying crops with JA plants stand a better chance of repelling pests like mites, caterpillars and aphids - however sprayed plants grow less well.
But scientists working at Lancaster University have found that plants grown from seeds first dipped in JA are also more pest-resilient without any loss of growth.
This would be financially beneficial for farmers and growers - as seeds are cheaper to treat than entire crops. It is another tool for growers to use as an alternative to using large amounts of pesticides or GM technologies.
In early trials the best results were on tomato plants, where attacks by red spider mites were reduced by 80 per cent, aphid attack was reduced by 60 per cent and caterpillar damage was down by a third.
Good results were also obtained on sweet pepper where aphid attacks were reduced by 70 per cent, and caterpillar damage to wheat was reduced by 65 per cent. Meanwhile on maize, caterpillar damage was reduced by 38 per cent.
The original work was carried out in a number of projects funded by the Natural Environment Research Council and the Horticultural Development Council.
Dr Nigel Paul of Lancaster University, who led the research said: "We were investigating the mechanisms by which wild plants defend themselves against pest attack to get a better understanding of what works in nature. We were spraying the leaves of our plants with JA and wondered what would happen if we treated the seeds instead.
"It seemed unlikely that it would work but we were amazed to discover that it did - tomato plants were protected for about two months after they germinated."
Results from large scale field trials are due at the end of the year. In the meantime, with new funding from Defra, the team at Lancaster - including Nigel Paul, Mike Roberts and Jane Taylor - is developing new applications for the technology, including investigating its value in disease control.
By the end of the year, the University should know whether or not a commercial product will go into development.

It's time for Taiwan Fest!
- Mr Taster May 5, 2008 02:17 AM
Next weekend - May 10-11 at El Pueblo de Los Angeles
There's no info re food on the website, other than to note that a food vendor booth costs $1150. So has anyone ever been? How's the chow? Bring on the stinky tofu, sinbala sausages and beef noodle soup... I'm ready! (though somehow I can't imagine that the churros and chili dogs will be left out)
Mr Taster
will be there tomorrow to check things out. i hope they have lots of good food vendors as i plan on having lunch at the event.
Ooooh that looks like a place to hit this weekend. Hope the vendors make that $1150 worthwhile.
It's looks to be more about dancing and music and other things than about food--probably why there isn't any food information on the website.
re: mstinawu
darn, i was really hoping they would have something like a night market feel. hope i'm right, or else it'll be watching lots of taiwanese dance, which in my experience can be painful and stomach unsettling.
re: mstinawu
I was there yesterday for a performance thing and indeed, not much to report on the food side. Ah Zong has a booth as does Canaan... nothing terribly interesting going on food-wise. You can definitely smell the stinky tofu though!
re: gsmoose
We arrived around 11:00am on Saturday and could smell the stinky tofu, but was told by the vendors that the health department forced them to stop serving it due to safety restrictions!
Incidentally, later that day the stinky tofu was being served again.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
I tried the stinky tofu today (Sunday), and was surprised at how little it...um...stank. I'm not sure what it was supposed to smell like, though; perhaps they toned it down somehow for the health inspectors? Authentic or not, it was tasty. The line was about 15 minutes long, and had doubled by the time I got to the front. :) There was also a brown/black rectangle of something, about the size of a pack of playing cards, that looked interesting but that I didn't try.
I also had some sort of cold noodle dish (at Ding's booth) with noodles cut to order from a huge block of what I guess was rice starch. Again, not earth-shattering, but tasty, and easier than going all the way out to MP. I wouldn't mind knowing what it was that I ate.
Perhaps the festival wasn't terribly interesting for those used to Taiwanese food, but for somebody unfamiliar with it, it was well worth the trip.
re: Mr Taster
ywp! i arrived at 4pm opn saturday and canaan was serving up stinky tofu. not the best, not the worst, but stinky tofu nonetheless.
the festival, as a whole, was quite underwhelming though. a lot of folks hawking products from insurance to facial irons.....i was hoping for more taiwanese food booths.
re: wilafur
Sadly, that is normally how most "Taiwanese" fairs turn out. They just don't get enough vendors specific to the theme of their fair and that's why they'll let in totally unrelated vendors sign up to participate.
re: mstinawu
Yeah, like the "BUY ME!" forklift for the show special price of $17,500. What that hell was that all about?
Mr Taster
re: wilafur
Hey wilafur, any tips on where to get some great stinky tofu (deef fried kind)? The only place we've gone is Stinky Tofu King in Rowland Heights (in the Hong Kong Supermarket plaza), but their presentation is a little strange.... tofu squares are way too big and they have a habit of injecting way too much funky sauce into the middle so that it becomes mushy. Would love to find a really nice crispy, fragrant but mellow stinky tofu and have no idea really where to go for it.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
MT, stinky tofu king is the best that i have had in socal. not sure what you mean by injecting sauce into the tofu, that has never happened before to me. that sounds kinda gross. eww. now that i think about it, are you talking about the juice from the fermented cabbage? you can also ask the proprietor to put any sauce and/or fermented cabbage in a separate container so that the stink tofu remains crispy.
as i tell my friends, stinky tofu king is good....for socal. if you want really good stinky, you've gotta head to taiwan.
1. stinky tofu king
2. jurassic
3. indian restaurant
4. young ho tou jiang
re: wilafur
Yes, exactly... they inject huge amounts of the fermeted cabbage juice into the middle of those giant squares, making the tofu squares all liquidy inside. My wife (who is Taiwanese) doesn't seem to mind, although she prefers the dry squares. To me, it makes a marginal food item (albeit one that I have learned to enjoy, with some hesitation) much less appealing.
Virtually all the stinky tofu we've had in Taiwan have been cut into much smaller squares (think 1.5" square and 1/2" deep) so the smaller surface area provides more crispiness. Mrs Taster and I were both surprised to find these comparatively huge squares (2.5 - 3" square) at stinky tofu king. I wonder why he does it this way?
By the way, the owner of the shop told us that all the stinky tofu in LA comes from one source.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
man, you made me hungry.
didn't know all the stinky tofu came from the same source....kinda makes sense to a certain degree due to the fact that none of the stuff i've had this side of the pacific are stinky enough. haha!
haver you tried the stir fried stinky tofu at jurassic or indian? good stuff.
re: wilafur
No, have not made it out to any of those spots. The only stinky tofu we've had in LA has been at "Good Time Deli" in Artesia (I think that's the name... it was not very good), Stinky Tofu King and the soft hotpot version Boiling Point in Hacienda Heights.
Where are Jurassic, Indian and young ho tou jiang located?

Some, but not much Taiwanese food according to this blogger.
re: Chelmoon
I was there yesterday and was quite disappointed about the food. There were only 3 Taiwanese food stands. The rest were Thai, Korean, Mexican, Chinese (from Mainland) and kettle corn. The Taiwanese stands all had long line. We didn't bother with the food and just went to Olvera Street for lunch.
re: eileen216
We only saw 2 Taiwanese food stands... Canaan, which was serving the stinky tofu et al, boba, shaved ice and Ay Chung serving rice noodles in glutenous soup. What was the third?
I thought it was quite funny that all the standard carny fare (kettle corn, Hawaiian shave ice) had almost no people in line whereas the Taiwanese food vendors had lines a mile long.
Mr Taster
re: Mr Taster
The 3rd one was a vegetarian stand. They served Taiwanese style vegetarian bento.
re: eileen216
Ah yes, next to that creepy booth. It was very strange hearing Paula Abdul say "You're watching Supreme Master TV".

NAMB provides essential advocacy efforts to members ensuring their interests are represented and protected on the federal and state levels. Please continue to check this page as it will periodically update to reflect the most recent advocacy efforts provided by NAMB.
July 21, 2009
This summer has been full of changes: new leadership, new legislation, and new efforts to protect you and your business. Here are just a few of the ways that NAMB Fights for You!
Home Valuation Code of Conduct (HVCC)
NAMB has established an HVCC Resource Center on the NAMB website. The provides up-to-date information on the latest developments surrounding the HVCC. Specifically, the National Association of REALTORS ® has joined the fight against the HVCC! In addition, H.R. 3044 was introduced in the House of Representatives, which calls for an 18 month moratorium for the HVCC. NAMB issued a Press Release applauding the introduction of the bill. NAMB issued a Call to Action on July 21, 2009 calling for additional cosponsors of the bill. For more information, click here. NAMB has also testified at several hearings regarding the issue:
- July 15, 2009 – House Financial Services Committee Hearing: "Banking Industry Perspectives on the Obama Administration's Financial Regulatory Reform Proposal."
- June 18, 2009 - House Financial Services Committee Hearing: "Strengthening Oversight and Preventing Fraud in FHA and other HUD Programs."
- June 3, 2009 - House Financial Services Committee Hearing: "The Present and Future of Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac."
H.R. 3126 – "Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009"
NAMB is currently reviewing this legislation for any changes directly and indirectly affecting the mortgage brokerage industry. NAMB Vice President of Government Affairs, Denise Leonard, testified before the House Financial Services Committee regarding our concerns with the bill. A copy of NAMB's testimony is available here. You can watch the archived webcast of the hearing by clicking here.
Healthcare Reform Efforts and Small Business
NAMB is monitoring Healthcare Reform legislation in both the
House and the Senate. NAMB understands that healthcare costs are important to
small businesses and is concerned about the potentially negative impact of an
employee mandate. For more information on this issue, click here.
Appropriations Bill Extends FHA and GSE Loan Limits
The most recent
approved appropriations bill extends the loan limits enacted in the American
Recovery and Reinvestment Act through the end of the 2010 fiscal year. NAMB was
influential in meeting with members of the Department of Housing and Urban
Development (HUD) to get these limits extended. Click here
for more information.
H.R. 1728 – "Mortgage Reform and Anti-Predatory Lending Act of 2009"
NAMB was influential in getting specific language removed and added to this legislation to decrease potentially detrimental impacts on mortgage brokers. Click here for a list of NAMB's successes in the bill. NAMB sent a letter to Congress outlining its particular concerns with the bill. Click here for a copy of the letter.
RESPA Efforts
NAMB continues to work with lawyers on the lawsuit filed against the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). NAMB was successful in getting language included in H.R. 1728 that called for the withdrawal of RESPA upon signature of the bill. The provision also insisted that HUD work with the Federal Reserve Board (FRB) in developing a disclosure form for loan originators. For more information, click here.
This bill is not yet law. H.R. 1728 passed the House of Representative and is waiting for companion legislation from the Senate. NAMB officials continue to meet with members of Congress to discuss the implications of language surrounding yield spread premiums in the bill.
H.R. 3126, the "Consumer Financial Protection Agency Act of 2009," calls for HUD and the Federal Reserve to jointly issue regulations and model disclosures that combine disclosures required under the Truth in Lending Act and RESPA into a single, integrated disclosure for mortgage loan transactions. NAMB believes language should be included to call for a moratorium of any new regulations or disclosure forms issued by HUD and the Federal Reserve until the joint regulations are issued pursuant to H.R. 3126.

50 Years of James Bond Celebrated in 23 Movie Posters
Great ideas don't come from an empty mind. They are built upon previous knowledge or actions.

Exclusive Interview with Independent Horror Movie Filmmaker Jeremiah Kipp
With the movie scene feeding the public with the same commercial movies on and on, stumbling across some interesting movie projects is more and more rare.

Woody Allen Struggles to Retire from Directing
Directing efficiently When Woody Allen stopped making films, people simply didn't realize it. They thought he continued to direct. They thought he actually went on creating new stuff. On one hand, he did retire in a way from film making, because what people didn't know was that he had and has been working for National […]Read more
Spielberg's Duel, An Obscure Movie Which Reveals Directing Virtues
Spielberg's movies are like life itself: they've started the process of degradation almost since their inception. This is why we ended up with Indiana Jones, E.T., Catch me of You Can, Jaws or Jurassic Park. And some of these are considered true milestones in the history of cinema, even though most of them are simply […]Read more

Interview with Yasmin Paige on the Mystery of Character Acting
Imagine the following scenario from Richard Ayoade's Submarine. A young dark-haired girl called Jordana Bevan peers through her Betty-Boop-on-a-good-day-haircut. She wears a long red raincoat that is part "Don't Look Now" and part "Little Red Riding Hood". Nobody knows what is going through her impenetrable mind. Maybe Jordana is holding a polaroid camera like she […]Read more

ON THE BLACKSTONE RIVER – Back in the 1980s the late U.S. Sen. John H. Chafee knew the best way to get people to support his namesake Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor was to get them into boats so they could see the historic area from the waters of the river.
The Rhode Island Association of Realtors is calling the spring housing market one of the strongest since the 2008 price bust that triggered the nation's foreclosure crisis.
Sales of single-family homes rose seven percent in April 2013 compared to the same month a year ago, and the median sales price of $180,000 was also three percent higher, the trade group said in a report released yesterday.
LINCOLN – Table games will be opening at the Twin River Casino sooner than expected, thanks to a smooth effort to complete preparations for the new operation.
The ribbon on the new live gaming tables will be cut following a ceremony beginning at 10:30 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19, according to Patti Doyle, Twin River spokesman.
"July 1 was our original target and we were able to pull that forward to June 19," Doyle said.
Governor Lincoln Chafee enters the Board of Canvassers in Warwick City Hall shortly after 10:00 a.m. Thursday to sign a short form switching his party affiliation officially from Independent to Democrat before a hoard of reporters and photographers who had gathered there before his arrival.
WOONSOCKET – A new approach to hooking up commercial and retail tenants with downtown rental spaces will be spearheaded this weekend by NeighborWorks Blackstone River Valley.
"The Woonsocket Main Street Open House" is "first and foremost an effort to fill vacancies," said Ainsley Cantoral, director of resource development for NeighborWorks, a private, non-profit agency in the city.
WOONSOCKET – The School Committee will consider recalling another group of laid-off teachers tonight at 5 in the Hamlet Middle School as it wraps up work on staffing for the coming school year.
The panel laid off 59 of its teachers in February to reserve leeway for making staffing changes that might be required in finalizing next year's budget. The School Committee has already rehired 36 of the teachers during earlier committee action leaving 23 still on layoff.
The state Budget Commission running city affairs also approved the recommended earlier recalls.
WOONSOCKET – Amid a looming cash crunch, city officials are once again floating the idea of a state takeover of city schools as a way through the fiscal morass.
But Dave Abbott, the deputy commissioner of education, all but closed the door on a Central Falls-style takeover of the Woonsocket Education Department.
In an interview, Abbott gauged the chances of the Rhode Island Department of Education taking of the WED as "very slim."
WOONSOCKET – Stanislaw Okruta, 78, and his downstairs neighbor, Julien Stroz, 61, are friendly enough to watch TV together, but when an argument erupted over the remote control Sunday one of them ended up in the hospital.
Stroz was transported to Rhode Island Hospital with stab wounds to his head, arm and torso – the result of what he called "a little fight" with Okruta, according to police reports.
Because Stroz adamantly declined to file a complaint against him, Okruta was not charged with any crime, according to Detective Sgt. Matt Ryan.
WOONSOCKET – Could four-day school weeks be coming to Woonsocket?
It's possible, if a bill that passed the Senate last week manages to find its way to becoming law.
Introduced by State Senator Roger Picard (D-Dist. 20, Woonsocket, Cumberland), the bill doesn't mandate four-day school weeks. But with the state's consent, school districts could adopt any sort of calendar they deem fit, so long as the school year provides no less than 1,080 hours of instructional time, the equivalent of the existing 180-day minimum.
WOONSOCKET – Seventeen years after his conviction in the road rage killing of another man with a powerful crossbow, Donald Graham is seeking a new trial with help from a friend in Alaska who has written a book about him.
Now 73, Graham is serving life without parole in the 1994 slaying of 42-year-old Michael Blodgett on the shoulder of I-95 in Attleboro, near the state line.

From the Broadway openings of The Anarchist and Golden Boy to Gypsy of the Year and Chicago's landmark 6,681st performance, December was a busy month as the theater world ushered out a great year.
December also featured Roundabout Theatre Company's benefit reunion concert staging of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's musical, Assassins. We enlisted cast members Anne L. Nathan (currently of Once) and Tony Award nominee Marc Kudisch (9 to 5) to steal us some great shots backstage, and they provided plenty of 'em!

WASHINGTON – The Obama administration says any Russian threat to Ukraine's navy would be a "dangerous escalation" of an extremely tense situation.
The State Department said Monday the United States would hold Russia directly accountable for such an escalation, but did not elaborate on potential consequences.
Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki added that she could not confirm whether Russia had in fact made such threats.
Earlier Monday, a Ukrainian military spokesman said Russia had issued an ultimatum to the crews of two Ukrainian warships in Crimea, demanding they immediately surrender or be stormed and seized.
Secretary of State John Kerry is leaving for Ukraine late Monday, and then will travel to France and Italy. He had planned to see his Russian counterpart in Paris, but Psaki said that meeting was no longer certain.

Borland Database Engine
Editor Laurent Trohel
Release 188.8.131.52
A problem?Ask a question

Week in Sports: Country Day girls fall short in Regional Final
The La Jolla Country Day girl's basketball team was unable to beat Windward (Los Angeles) for the third time this season when it mattered most. The Torreys (27-5 overall) lost to the Wildcats 68-58 in the CIF Regional Final on Saturday at Colony High School in Ontario.
With the win, Windward (28-4) will play St. Mary's (Albany) at ARCO Arena this weekend for the state championship.
The loss ends the season for the Torreys, who were Coastal South champions as well as the San Diego Division IV CIF champs.
Against Windward, however, it was turnovers that got the best of the Torreys. Leading 46-44 heading into the fourth quarter, it appeared that Country Day was on pace to make it to its sixth state title game in the last 12 seasons. The Wildcats ripped off eight straight points to start the final frame, taking a 52-46 advantage. The Torreys were unable to get within four points the rest of the way.
Earlier in the season, the Torreys topped the Wildcats by scores of 71-53 and 45-39, but Windward had recently had one of its best players return.
Sophomore Kelsey Plum led the Torreys with 18 points and nine rebounds in the loss, while juniors Maya and Malina Hood combined for 22 points.
Despite the disappointment, the team returns the core of its team next year in Plum and the Hood sisters.
Country Day golfers break school records
The La Jolla Country Day boys golf team competed in the St. Augustine "Big Nine" on March 16 and 17 at the Cottonwood Ivanhoe Golf Links in Rancho San Diego and walked away with the best score in school history.
After day one, the Torreys led the score five format with a total of 376 over second place St. Augustine which posted a 380. The 376 score, which is 16-over for five players for 18 holes, was a new Country Day record surpassing the 2001 team's total recorded at the Warner Springs Golf Resort. The team was led by Anthony Paolucci who shot a 72, 69 for a 141. Harry Kang shot a 77, 69 for a 146 and Alberto Sanchez carded a 71, 76 for a 147.
Here are last week's scores:
Tuesday, March 15
Christian Patriot Tournament
— La Jolla Country Day 10, Lincoln 4
Tommy Edman went 2-for-3 with a homer and three RBI while Anthony Torres added two RBI in the win for the Torreys.

Bradley Zimmer led the Vikings with two hits and two RBI. Spencer Manlapig also added a triple for the Vikings.

I could eat this everyday! When I made this meal, I thought I wasn't going to be impressed. I thought it was going to be a regular meal, but my taste buds proved me wrong. It was amazing.

Pedagogical Nomenclature
The traditional style of doctrinal illustrations in the American Law Institute's Restatements of Law identifies parties by meaningless letters such as A, B, C and D. In Contracts, at least, it would be clearer for the illustrations to identify parties by meaningful normative categories they occupy, such as General-Sub, Company-Inventor, Buyer-Seller, Borrower-Lender, Father-Daughter, or even Promisor-Promisee, Obligor-Obligee and so on.
Using meaningless letters adds unnecessary, if slight, cognitive demand to exercises that should be maximally parsimonious. Normative categories in Contracts are especially useful to emphasize the context in which an exchange occurs. The abstract lettering system should be abandoned in future Restatements. A few examples from Illustrations to Section 227 of the Restatement (Second) of Contracts appear below.

ORANGEBURG, S.C. (AP) - Authorities say the bodies of two children have been recovered from a car submerged in a South Carolina river and their mother has been arrested.
Orangeburg County Sheriff Larry Williams said the children were recovered from the North Edisto River after the car was found near a boat landing Monday.
Williams told WIS-TV the child's mother has been charged with leaving the scene of an accident.
The names of the victims and mother were not immediately released. Williams did not immediately return a phone call Monday afternoon.
Authorities were alerted early Monday about the car but have not said how the vehicle ended up in the water.
Divers recovered the children's bodies about 45 minutes after they were called to the scene.

These UK gamers certainly know how to put effort into their decor — you might lose your shit over their amazing papercraft centerpieces based on game developers. But it's the little touches that made us grin: the Calvin & Hobbes vows, the kitty collar moment, the serenade-turned-glass crash moment(!), and of course, the big love for their friends and family. This is a geektastic-meets-metal winner, you guys.
This is Offbeat Bride's archive of gamers posts.

Pixellated Save the Date video full of '90s nostalgia

How to make a Portal Companion Cube card box
We were inspired by this post on Craftster to make a Companion Cube card box. And then we found the basis for our templates (to which we made some crucial modifications) over here. But we had to make a bunch of mods to make these work the way we wanted them to, and it was kind of terrifically complex. So I figured in case anyone else wanted to give this a try, I'd post what we did to help ease the process for y'all. So here goes…
So many buckles: Rob's amazing red gothic fairytale groom gear

Giovanna & Jonathan's colorful gamers and costumes wedding
When a Stormtrooper walks you down the aisle and Darth Vader is the flower girl, you know you're in for something geektastically awesome. Add in the video game details, the epic costume party, and the amazingly colorful reception dress, and it's on like Donkey Kong. Oh, and wait until you see their lightsaber candle ceremony!
Jen & Nick's Warcraft and weaponry wedding
Pick a side: Horde or Alliance for this geektastic World of Warcraft, LEGO, and crafted weapons (worthy of the best cosplay) wedding. Instead of a sweetheart table, a loot table… instead of traditional table numbers, raid bosses. Pick your weapon, regen your mana, and get ready to raid at this wedding worthy of the word "WoW."
Ashley & Jake's steampunk adventure trolley wedding
There are a few ways to avoid a bunch of time-consuming group portraits, but this one is one of our favorites. These two rented an open air brass-railed trolley for a perfectly suited steampunk backdrop for their photo shoot! Add that to the bride's handmade reception gown, amazing steamy costumes, and a gamer-themed musical at the reception, and you'll be totally transported. Oh, and wait until you see who ended up wearing a white wedding gown. Hint: it wasn't the bride!
