Clark clears up Ainsworth move
The 22-year-old winger signed initially on loan for a month last week, but the deal was extended until May on transfer deadline day. Clark said: "Lionel needs to be playing first-team football at a good level and the move suits both parties. "His move echoes Nathan Eccleston's in that the intention was always to make the move season-long, but we needed to get the paperwork through to make him eligible for the weekend." Ainsworth was signed for an undisclosed fee from Watford in January 2009 but has failed to hold down a regular starting place at the Galpharm Stadium.

Personal web pages
Publishing to personal web pages
- Introduction - What are Personal Web Pages?
- How do I create web pages?
- How do I access my pages via a web browser?
- Accessing your PFS (M Drive) from Off Campus
- Access Permission Problems
Introduction - What are Personal Web Pages?
All users' personal file store space (M: drive) contain a directory called LJMUWeb. This folder and files within it are accessible via the internet. It is not possible to delete this folder, however, it is possible to create subfolders within the LJMUWEB area. If you don't want to have your files visible via the internet, then you should avoid using the LJMUWeb folder for file storage.What should I use my Personal Web Pages for?
Personal web pages should not be used for making available teaching, corporate, faculty or departmental information. It is ideal for coursework or non corporate information.Users are responsible for the contents of any web pages published using this facility. LJMU will not monitor or otherwise censor Personal Web Pages, but will report any complaints, and potentially illegal activities to the appropriate authorities. In using this service, users agree to the Terms and Conditions of Use of the LJMU Web site
How do I create web pages?
A personal web page has the file extension .htm or .html and can be created using a number of applications available on the LJMU Network.
Microsoft Office applications
All Microsoft Office applications accessible via the LJMU network allow document to be saved as a web page.
To create a web page using a Microsoft Office application:
Click on File, Save As, Web page. Enter a suitable filename and click on Save. Dreamweaver
Dreamweaver is a dedicated WYSIWYG web editor, with a significantly different user interface than a typical Microsoft product. It does however, allow more sophisticated pages to be created. Dreamweaver is available via:
Start, JMUAppPlayer, Software Classification, Computing, Development Tools, Web Development, Adobe Dreamweaver CS5
Further Information
Further information on creating web pages is available via the comprehensive on line help files included with each of the applications, available from the Help option on the menu bar. Please note that it is NOT possible to run active server pages (ASP) on your Personal Web Pages.
How do I access my pages via a web browser?
Any information you want to make available via the internet should be placed within the LJMUWEB folder on your M: Drive.The URL for the pages will be as follows:
For staff: http://www.staff.ljmu.ac.uk/yourLJMUusername/ For students: http://www.student.ljmu.ac.uk/yourLJMUusername/ So, a student with the username ECLJSMIT would use the base URL http://www.student.ljmu.ac.uk/ECLJSMIT/ to view their web pages.
Setting a default home page
Personal Web Pages are configured so that the default "home page" is either welcome.htm, index.htm or default.htm This means that when the server receives a request for your web site via the URL http://www.student.ljmu.ac.uk/ECLJSMIT/ it will initially look for a file called welcome.htm. If one exists within your LJMUWEB folder then it will be displayed if no specific file name is given. If it doesn't exist, it will then search for index.htm and display this, if this does not exist, it will finally look for default.htm. If none of these filenames exist, the user will receive an error message.
The Home Page for your site should allow the user to navigate his / her way through all of the pages created.
Accessing a specific file within LJMUWEB
To direct a user to a specific page in your site, for example information.htm, simply place the filename after your username thus: http://www.student.ljmu.ac.uk/ecljsmit/information.htm
Accessing a file within a subfolder
The student ECLJSMIT may have a subfolder within their LJMUWEB folder called details. This subfolder contains further web pages, one of which may be called latestinfo.htm - The URL for this page would be http://www.student.ljmu.ac.uk/ecljsmit/details/latestinfo.htm
Accessing your PFS (M Drive) from Off Campus
Publishing web pages from outside the LJMU network is possible by connecting to your M Drive using the Off Campus Applications Service. To connect to your M Drive using this service:Go to the Off Campus Applications login page If you have never used Off Campus Applications before, you will need to download and install the Citrix Client. Full details on how to do this are available from the Off Campus Applications Help Pages When you have installed the Citrix Client, return to the Off Campus Applications Login Page (if necessary), enter your username and password and click on Login From the list of LJMU Applications, click on Utilities, Explore M Drive After a short delay the ICA Client File Security dialog box will appear - click on Full Access and then OK Your M Drive, together with any local disks on your PC will now be displayed in a Windows Explorer view. Simply copy any files from your local drives to the LJMUWEB folder on your M Drive. Alternatively, you are able to connect to your PFS (M Drive) from Off Campus using FTP - full details on FTP access are available here.
Access Permission Problems
Problems with file permissions can occur if the they are created outside of the LJMUWEB folder, and then transferred into it. Typically, the following error message will be displayed by the web browser:
"You are not authorized to view this page.
You do not have permission to view this directory or page due to the access control list (ACL) that is configured for this resource on the Web server."To overcome these problems, we recommend the following procedures:
Whenever possible, create and save the files directly within the LJMUWEB folder If the file has been created outside of the LJMUWEB folder, transfer the files using the Copy and Paste method. That is:
- Open Windows Explorer and navigate to the files to be
- Highlight the files
- Click on Edit, Copy
- Navigate to the LJMUWEB folder and click on Edit, Paste
- The files will be copied and should be accesible via a web browser
DO NOT delete, rename or attempt to recreate the LJMUWEB folder - it will not have the necessary access permissions required. Further advice on file permission problems can be obtained from you local learning resource centre.

Protect Massachusetts Kids
Every year, more than 6,700 Massachusetts kids get hooked on tobacco. And tobacco companies are always finding new ways to attract kids.
Their latest scheme: Introducing cheap, sweet and colorfully packaged tobacco products such as little cigars. These products come in an assortment of candy and fruit flavors, including chocolate, blueberry and apple. And because they're taxed at lower rates than cigarettes, they're more affordable to kids.
Massachusetts can protect kids by increasing the tax on cigarettes and other tobacco products — including candy-flavored chewing tobacco and little cigars. Research shows that the more tobacco costs, the less people use it — especially kids.
A $1.25 increase in Massachusetts' tobacco tax would prevent 34,000 kids from becoming smokers. And it would save 19,500 residents from smoking-caused deaths. Learn more about the benefits of increasing the tobacco tax.
Increasing the tax on other tobacco products would protect even more kids and save even more lives.
These tobacco tax increases would also raise more than $150 million in revenue to fund important state programs.

With additional than 300,000 apps for iOS units, Apple's iTunes App Shop is a market place of huge proportion. Apple has unveiled its annual iTunes Rewind attribute and called its applications of the calendar year, which can make this the best time to reflect on the applications that have managed to very best the competitiveness and rise to the leading of the charts this calendar year. The new models of Apple components include things like chargers, a stand, Bluetooth keyboard and stylus with integrated ballpoint pen to suit the wants of just about every iPad person.
That's great, but what are the ultimate top 9 applications seriously like? Beneath they are
The very first is Doodle Jump. If you employed to perform straightforward video games, then this is for you. All you have received to do in Doodle leap is trying to keep jumping your little alien issue-me-bob further up the display. The greater you go the far better score you get. There is little to this gaming to be honest, even so like Canabalt and all those flash games that you've lost an afternoon in the place of work far too, this can become very addictive. Apple no doubt cherished the reality that to handle the movement of your tiny critter you've acquired to tilt the iPhone from aspect to side. Tilt too way and you will skip that all crucial ledge.
The second 1 is Fiscal Times. Ahead of you get far too thrilled about this app staying totally free, it is only at the moment free of charge until finally 31 July 2010.
On the other hand that explained the FT demonstrates us what a newspaper app can and will be like when it comes to consuming news on the go. Total with its trademark pink paper, stories are exhibited in standard newspaper column format with you functioning your way left to proper to study more. Of study course its not all about words, there is movie and images as well, even though some of the FT journo's are plainly terrified by the thought that obtaining been in a position to hide powering their typewriters now they are acquiring to read off autocue.
For the Brushes for iPhone, you can get both equally an iPhone and iPad version of this app, and annoyingly as opposed to some dual applications you may have to acquire this an individual two times. What you do get even though is an app that lets you paint to your hearts content on your Apple product with a wide variety of brushes, layers, blend modes, and then the likelihood to undo or redo if you make a error.
Whilst the TabToolkit is a guitar tablature and tunes notation viewer that allows you see how tracks are played out so you can study the moves to your favorite's tunes. Off the bat you will get a handful of tracks to pay attention and watch, and although they are pretty simple - Star Bangled Banner top ipad apps desne any person? - They do give you an thought of how it all will work just before you go about importing your very own sheet new music.
Content are obtainable for each iPhone and iPad, Articles is generally a way to search at Wikipedia pages from your Apple product instead than head over to the website itself.
Jamie's twenty Moment Meals is in actuality a electronic cook e-book.
Star Wander for iPad for the men and women who is fascinated in the stars, but aren't genuinely certain where by Orion is or how a lot of stars make up Cassiopeia. Hoping to give you a supporting hand is Star Stroll, an iPad and iPhone app that will let you see wherever the stars are in the sky.
Authentic Racing is 1 app that Apple has been touting for ages. And as a preferred app so it can be no actual surprise that it created it in to their leading checklist for winners of the awards.
Pinball Hd, it really is the traditional pinball machine re-jigged for the iPad. You can expect to get several pinball tables to begin with - Wild West, The Deep, and The Jungle, with the solution to purchase more tables from the app store when and if you want.
All the over applications, have all been downloaded by us from the App Retail store, and had a play, in buy to give you our hands-on opinion, rather than just regurgitating what the blurb claims.

Tendonitis Remedies
November 4, 2013 Written by JP [Font too small?]A reader asks: "I've had recurrent bouts of tendonitis in my elbow and shoulder. When I go to see my doctor about it, he usually recommends Advil or Aleve to manage the pain and swelling. But, I don't like to take these types of drugs. Are there are any natural remedies that I can use to reduce tendon pain and speed the recovery process?".
Tendinitis or tendonitis is an inflammatory condition that affects one or more tendons, tissues that connect muscles to bones, in various sites throughout the body including the elbows, knees, shoulders and wrists. Conventional treatment of tendonitis frequently involves the use of anti-inflammatory medications and/or physical therapy. Complementary and preventive approaches include acupuncture, addressing repetitive motions that may contribute to the irritation and the topical application of natural remedies such as DMSO (dimethyl sulfide) – an analgesic solvent derived from the wood pulp.
Several studies have documented a potential role for dietary supplements as complementary agents in the treatment of tendonitis. In general, the supplements in question have included two classes of ingredients: a) those that support the structure of connective tissue in general and tendons specifically; b) natural anti-inflammatory agents. Amino acids (arginine), collagen-based ingredients and organosulfur compounds (MSM) have been found to assist with the repair of damaged tendons in trials involving patients with Achilles tendinopathy and rotator cuff tears. Specially-coated digestive enzymes (bromelain and Phlogenzym aka Wobenzym) and natural extracts from fruits (apples, grapes) and turmeric may reduce systemic inflammation and, thereby, improve flexibility and functioning. The aforementioned dietary supplements are typically recommended as adjuncts to alternative or conventional therapies. However, because tendonitis isn't a dangerous or life threatening condition, some practitioners will recommended natural approaches i.e. dietary changes and supplements prior to considering corticosteroids or pain relieving medications which often carry a higher risk of side effects.

November 4th, 2013 at 9:08 pmI've gotten instant relief for tendonitis of both elbow and shoulder via acupuncture. The same acupuncturist was no help for my chronic lower back stiffness. DMSO helped my knee pain.
In the Marines I suffered a bad case of Achilles tendonitis and going barefoot was the best therapy. I could barely walk with combat boots on. The Marine brass were very suspicious when I couldn't march but was able to outrun everyone when I ran barefoot.
I take curcumin everyday, pain or not.

The supplements appear to benefit the function and structure of various joints – possibly even the SI joint. Though, I couldn't find any specific research regarding this topic. However, I did track down a few studies that may be of particular interest to you:

This Day in Arf History: Happy Birthday to the Great Jules Feiffer!
On this day in 1929, Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Jules Feiffer was born. This man has accomplished so much in his 79 years — we'll just try and name as many as we can. In the 1940s, Feiffer began his career as an assistant to Will Eisner. His editorial cartoons ran in the Village Voice for 42 years, and in 2004, he was inducted into the Comic Book Hall of Fame. Kids might recognize his work from his illustrations in The Phantom Tollboth. In 1961, he earned an Oscar for his short animation, "Munro." Feiffer is also a screenwriter, memorably penning the script for Robert Altman's Popeye. Career hightlight? An original piece has just been accepted for the next Arf book, Comic Arf. Surely being in Arf will make all those previous accomplishments pale. Happy Birthday Jules!

MEDFORD, Ore. — About 25 members of Young Marines of Southern Oregon marked Red Ribbon Week by standing out in Medford's Vogle Park.
An organization leader said they hope to create awareness by handing out information about living a drug-free life. "We're talking about children who are devastated by the effects of drugs in their families, communities, and in their neighborhoods. It's an issue that we are concerned about," said Young Marine's Michael Hoff Saturday.
This was the group's first year celebrating in Vogle Park, but acknowledging Red Ribbon Week has been a tradition since 1985.

Dubuque is a city in and the county seat of Dubuque County, Iowa, United States, located along the Mississippi River. In 2010 its population was 57,637, making it the ninth-largest city in the state and the county's population was 93,653. The city lies at the junction of three states: Iowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin, a region locally known as the Tri-State Area. It serves as the main commercial, industrial, educational, and cultural center for the area. Geographically, it is part of the Driftless Area, a portion of North America that escaped all three phases of the Wisconsinian Glaciation. It is one of the few large cities in Iowa with hills, and is home to a large tourist industry, driven by the city's unique architecture, and river location. Also, it is home to five institutions of higher education, making it a center for culture and learning. While Dubuque has long been a center of manufacturing, the economy has recently witnessed rapid growth and diversification in other areas. In 2005, it led the state and the Midwest in job growth, ranking as the 22nd fastest-growing economy nationally. Today, alongside industry, the city has large health care, education, tourism, publishing, and financial service sectors. [more on Wikipedia]

I'm currently brewing on a 25g rig that belongs to the company I work for. I went from 5g all-grain in a cooler to this system. I'll try to supply a pic later, but here's the basics of my set up: All kettles are 25g stainless All kettles are direct fire propane HLT has a temp-controller, the rest have valves to control burner output HLT and Boil Kettle have outlets 1/2" from bottom of kettle Mash Tun has same, but also an inlet near top There are two temp controllers. One for HLT, the other operates the outlet for the pump. Up to now, I've been mainly mashing in, monitoring temp, possibly heating mash tun and recirculating wort to add a degree or two. Efficiency has been good, beers have been good. I just don't think I'm using the system the way it was meant to be used. Should I be circulating during the entire mash? Would I set the pump to come on just below mash temp? If so, am I pumping water from the HLT? While I know this isn't a RIMS or HERMS set-up, it seems that it has some similarities. I'd appreciate any thoughts.
Here's the pic of the rig:
I know the pic isn't the best, but the light in the brewery isn't very good. I guess the real issue is whether I should be circulating my wort with this setup. Does anyone have a similar setup?
Isn't there anyone there, who has brewed on it before and knows how to use it?
This is a MoreBeer setup. They build these about 2 miles from our shop. You should be recirculating during the whole mash. is a link the instruction manual.
Thank you, OneHoppyGuy! It was a hand-me-down, and doesn't bear any names, so this is a great find.
This is funny in a sad sort of way. I just went out and dug through a bunch of miscellaneous parts. I found the sparge ring and correctly identified the heat exchanger. I'd thought it was an immersion chiller. I've been having good luck running it the dumb way, so we'll see what happens with the next batch. I'm excited to give it a try the correct way! Thanks again, OneHoppyGuy!
What kind of company do you work for that has a 25g brew system on hand?
Yeah, no kidding...if your company doesn't list that on their careers/recruiting website, they should. That's fantastic.

Stormwater Management
Streamside Landowners
Best Management Practices (BMPs)
We are lucky to live in one of the most wildlife-rich places in the world.. By ensuring that streamside activities have beneficial impacts instead of harmful impacts, and that they enhance habitat-forming natural processes instead of stopping them, you can improve stream health and wildlife habitat for generations to come.
The most important things you can do to create good wildlife habitat are also the most important things you can do for your stream:
- Leave Your Streambanks Natural: Healthy streams are bordered by native trees and shrubs, and are crossed with fallen logs and roots that catch and hold sediment, leaves, and debris. It may look untidy, but such natural clutter is essential to the health of rivers and streams. Trees, shrubs, and roots, stabilize streambanks and reduce erosion. Logs and branches in streams slow water velocity and protect streambanks and streamside plants from being swept away in high winter flows. Fallen trees help create gravel bars where salmon and trout spawn.
- Plant Native Plants: Native plants are suited to our local climate and soils so they don't require watering, fertilizer, or pesticides. Native plants are hosts for many species of beneficial insects that serve as pollinators, food for salmon, trout and birds, and predators of harmful insects. They also provide seeds and fruit for birds. Salmon depend on native plants for shade, shelter (young salmon hide in overhanging shrubs at all times of the year), food (the mayflies, stoneflies, and caddisflies that salmon eat all need native plants), and leaf litter.
- Plant Trees: Shrubs, especially native shrubs, are very good for streams. Trees, however, provide many services that shrubs and smaller plants cannot. Living trees provide shade that keeps water cool. They provide food such as beneficial insects. They also provide leaves, needles, twigs and branches for the insects, amphibians and fish that live in the streams. Dead and fallen trees provide habitat for insects, amphibians and fish. They create pools that control sediment and nutrient movement. They slow the flow of water, reducing erosion and property damage.
- Limit Use of Lawn Chemicals: Most lawn chemicals can harm your stream.
- Pesticides designed to kill terrestrial insects can also kill aquatic insects such as the mayflies, caddisflies and stoneflies that salmon and trout rely on for food. They can also kill important predatory insects like dragonfly and damselfly larvae, aquatic beetles, and water striders. These insects help control mosquitoes, blackflies, and other pests.
- Herbicides designed to kill weeds can also kill aquatic vegetation, cutting off the food supply for the entire aquatic food chain. The nitrogen and phosphorus in fertilizers, livestock waste, and pet waste are like vitamins. People need vitamins to live, but too much of some vitamins is toxic. Likewise, streams need phosphorus and nitrogen, but too much can cause severe problems. High nitrogen levels in water are also toxic to fish. Phosphorus is a major problem in many Snohomish County lakes.
- Fertilizers dissolve in rainwater and wash into the soil. Some, but not all, of the fertilizer is absorbed and used by plants. The rest eventually migrates into streams, where it causes algae blooms. Algae blooms not only look bad, they consume dissolved oxygen in the water – oxygen that fish and other aquatic wildlife need to breathe. Cold-water fish species like salmon and trout require high oxygen levels.
- Wash Your Car at a Car Wash: Fuel, oil, antifreeze, copper, and zinc are common pollutants from your vehicle. Fuel, oil, and antifreeze drip onto roads. Bits of copper and zinc wear off your brake pads and fall onto roads. Rain turns those powdered metals and chemicals into a poisonous soup that is sprayed over your vehicle as you drive. These pollutants and soap can flow into storm drains and ditches that discharge into your stream. Remember: Most storm drains flow directly to streams and rivers that flow into Puget Sound!
By washing your vehicle at a carwash, you can send those pollutants, along with your dirty soap, to a wastewater treatment plant where they belong.
If you do wash your car at home it is best to do so on the lawn or direct the soapsuds to the lawn. Soap in limited quantities will not harm your lawn, but is extremely damaging to fish and other aquatic life.
- Keep Pets out of Streams: Pets and livestock are hard on streams. They damage streamside vegetation, cause erosion, and trample salmon eggs. They disrupt spawning salmon, disturb wildlife, and harass juvenile fish. Like fertilizer, pet waste can cause severe nitrogen, phosphorus, and bacterial problems.

Non-New Times Media Catches up to Dwyane Wade's Baron Nemesis Story... Sort Of
This is the face Dwyane Wade makes when you say the words "Richard von Houtman." |
He also promised he was working on a story with another reporter, "and when it comes out, you're going to think, Oh, well I guess I shouldn't have written those things about Richard without knowing the whole truth."
Yesterday, that story came out: an Associated Press account that ran in the Miami Herald and other outlets. The Herald has been undeniably squeamish about touching this story, presumably because of the inflammatory nature of von Houtman's personal accusations against Wade. (Here's our primer on those.) They've gotten around that by simply not mentioning the accusations, but considering Wade quoted them in a $100 million libel lawsuit, the AP version sort of reads like a novel with pages missing. Here's the only mention of the libel suit:
Wade has also filed a $100 million libel lawsuit against von Houtman over emails his former partner sent to Heat president Pat Riley."Whoa!" exclaims the non-New Times reader. "What was in the emails? Donkey porn?!"
That said, the AP did get its hands on a recent deposition in which Wade admits for the first time to being a bit worried about, you know, being named in three multimillion-dollar image-threatening lawsuits:
"In my profession, your name and likeness is all people know about you. They don't know just the person," Wade said in a court deposition obtained by the Associated Press. "So, with that being said, with my name and likeness being dragged through everything... there's already a hit on my brand and a hit to my name. That's not good."
Also entertaining: Details gleaned about von Houtman and company attempting to get Shaquille O'Neal involved in the restaurant business:
As the deal progressed, Wade said in his deposition there was talk among the partners of the "Shaq component," bringing in another high-profile NBA star such as Shaquille O'Neal, who along with Wade had led the Heat to the 2006 NBA championship.
"They just wanted to get him involved, and wanted me to talk to him about getting him involved," Wade said in his deposition.
There was an incentive: Andrews gave Wade a suitcase from von Houtman with $100,000 in cash as a bonus for O'Neal. Wade said von Houtman also promised him another $100,000, so when O'Neal rejected the restaurant overture, Wade kept the cash "like a sign-on bonus," Wade testified.
Two observations: (1) If you're a basketball superstar and your new business partners are trying to broker deals with suitcases full of money, that should be a red flag. (2) Despite his Twitter updates, Shaq is one wise fellow.

Katie's Law Deemed Success by NM Governor
Governor Susana Martinez is calling the expanded Katie's Law, which allows the state to collect DNA samples from everyone arrested in the state for a felony, a success.
Martinez says an update to the law, which took effect last July, has resulted in a quote "remarkable rise in dna matches that have allowed more criminals to be put behind bars."
She credits the law with a 92 percent increase in matching suspects to crimes, including five homicides and three sex crimes.
The original law, named after slain New Mexico State University student Katie Sepich, required DNA samples from suspects arrested for violent felonies such as murder, kidnapping, robbery, burglary and sex offenses.
Last year's revision extends the testing requirement to all felonies.

Whether you're taking on your first organised hiking challenge or just looking to pick up your pace on your next adventure, it's important to make sure that you've got the right gear. We asked Covent Garden staff member, Rory McCrea, to recommend ten, fast and light hiking essentials that will help you to achieve your goals, without holding you back.
'Fast and light hiking is all about optimising performance; getting fitter, stronger, carrying less weight and moving faster. It's also about compromise, carrying less weight can mean less comfort. Here are my top 10 must haves to ensure a safe, 'fast and light' day out in the British hills.'
One of the most important pieces of kit for any trip is good footwear.
The theory is that they're lighter than a pair of boots(therefore less tiring), provide better shock absorption and allow your body to move as it's designed to move. The converse being that you don't get the benefit of ankle support, meaning that you might not feel as stable or have the protection that you would get from a boot. If you're relatively fit, experienced in moving over rough terrain and confident in your body's ability to deal with fatigue then shoes could be a good a option.
As the name suggests, mid-height hiking shoes are hiking shoes with ankle protection, making them a great compromise if you prefer something a bit more substantial.
Ultimately there is no right or wrong, it just depends on what you feel more comfortable using. The most important thing is to make sure that whatever you choose fits you well and that you give yourself enough time to wear them in and allow your feet to get used to them.
Walking poles aren't necessarily essential, but they will make a massive difference, especially on the way down when you're feeling tired. In the short term they help with balance, load bearing and energy conservation. In the long term they minimise the impact on knee cartilage.
A 20- 25L pack should offer than enough storage. Make sure that you choose a pack that fits your torso correctly; a body hugging fit is ideal for movement. Look for a back panel system that is lightweight and well ventilated to prevent you from overheating when you're working hard and lots of exterior storage points to give you easy access to equipment and essentials when you're on the move.
Staying properly hydrated is critical; it affects concentration, decision making and muscle fatigue.
Hydration Reservoirs/ Bladders
Water bladders are a really good idea as they will ensure that you are getting enough water whilst moving , helping massively with endurance, concentration and motivation. Most modern backpacks are hydration compatible, with a special compartment to accommodate a reservoir and a port that holds the drinking tube in a convenient position for fast, hands-free hydration.
If you're not so keen on the idea of carrying a water bladder, make sure that you have at least one, 1L water bottle easily accessible to ensure that you stay well hydrated. Many water bottles have an attachment or corresponding pouch available that allows you to carry them on the hip belt of your backpack.
5. Soft Shell/ Windproof Jacket
This is a great 'go to' layer when the weather is a bit windy, drizzly or both. A softshell gives you a bit of insulation by acting as a wind break; has plenty of stretch for comfort and they come in a wide range of weights and styles, offering varying degrees of water resistance. If the weather is really atrocious you can wear your soft shell underneath your waterproof for extra protection.
Go for something ultra lightweight, if you're lucky with the weather it will live in your bag so you don't want anything bulky. There are lots of different technologies out there to cater for all types of activity and budget so you need to decide what additional performance elements are most important to you, be it breathability, durability or packability.
Carrying a couple of energy gels and a bar will provide a welcome boost when you feel yourself flagging. There are loads available so try a few out and see what works well for you. If you struggle to get on with bars and gels, foods such as banana bread are a convenient and effective alternative.
An electrolyte mix in your hydration pouch replenishes vital salts lost through sweating, helping to prevent cramping, fatigue by speeding up the body's absorption of water. You can get pure electrolyte drinks or blends that can incorporate stimulants and energy.
A head torch might not seem like an essential but it can prove invaluable for early mornings, evenings and negotiating the camp site if you're on a multi-day excursion. There's a head torch out there to suit every budget and they range from simple on/off operation to the more techie end of the spectrum where you get into the realms of ingenious light reactive technology.
It's a good idea to carry a neck warmer and a pair of light fleece or stretch gloves just in case, as well as a spare phone battery or portable charger. It's essential that you have a first aid kit, survival whistle and thermal bag in your pack at all times. Hopefully you won't need any of these items but you'll be grateful for them in an emergency.
It is essential to carry maps and a compass with you, however you may also want to invest in a GPS. GPS devices make navigation easier, allowing you to plot your route or pinpoint your exact location in a matter of seconds. You can download or enter way points and many units come equipped with full ordinance survey mapping, so you only need to have your paper map on standby as a backup.

Colby's McKee tops strong 400 field in WaKeeney
Published on -5/4/2014, 7:44 PM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
By CONOR NICHOLL
WaKEENEY -- Colby sophomore Brielle McKee finished eighth in the 400-meter dash and anchored the Eagles' fifth-place showing in the 1,600-meter relay at the Class 4A state meet last season. McKee ran 1 minute, 0.8 seconds in the open 400 and 1:02.40 in her relay split.
This year, she ranked among the top 400 runners in her classification entering Friday's Goldsmith Relays at WaKeeney-Trego Community High School. But McKee, who has run the 400 since sixth grade, doesn't like her main event.
"I don't enjoy it, but it's just something that I have always done, so I just kind of tell myself, 'You have to do this,' " McKee said. "It's always about beating my time and just trying to get better and better. I think it's really common in track. I don't think there are very many people who say, 'Let's go out and run.' It's more, 'We have to go run.' "
McKee bested a strong 400 field with a season-best mark of 1:01.30, one of many season and career bests in the 12-team competition.
The scoreboard read 59.9 when McKee crossed the finish line, which would have been the first time she broke 60 seconds, but the official time was a bit slower. WaKeeney senior Payton Nowlin delivered a personal best in the event for the second straight week in 1:03.41 to take second.
"It was good," McKee said. "I was just happy that I was just able to stay loose and finish hard. I was trying to get sub-60s."
Last week, McKee ran two meets at Scott City on Tuesday and Holcomb on Friday. Because of the strenuous schedule, she tightened up and finished in 1:02 at Scott City and 1:01.50 at Holcomb.
"Today, I was more relaxed, and I heard my coach over there saying, 'Just stay loose,' and I just tried to wiggle it out," McKee said.
McKee also took sixth in the 100 (13.67), third in the 400 relay (53.63) and second in the 1,600 relay (4:16.90). Before Friday, just six 4A girls had broken 1:01.50, according to Kansas historian Carol Swenson's statewide honor roll. For the last month of the season, McKee wants to consistently be in the 50s and place higher at state.
"You just have to say that you are going to run the race, not be nervous for it," McKee said.
Griffith in 300s
Norton junior Sierra Griffith, an all-state cross country runner, had run distance events in track season after she participated in the 300-meter hurdles in junior high and set records. But Bluejay coach Jason Jones always told Griffith the 300s were "not her race." This season, Griffith gave Jones a decision.
"I am doing them, or I am not doing track," Griffith said.
Jones relented, and let Griffith try the event. Griffith has posted a solid spring after she missed last year because of a stress fracture. She finished second in the 300s at 50.11 seconds, just off her personal best of 50 seconds.
Goodland senior Taryn Bedore won the event in 49.82 seconds and TMP senior Mikeala Flax took third at 50.26 seconds.
(Jones said) "I think we waited until just the right time," Griffith said with a smile. "...What my coach says is, 'You've got to be a woman to be able to run that race.' It's pretty tough."
Griffith set her personal best at the season-opening Norton Invitational on April 11. She ran a 55.10 at the Redmen Relays on April 15, but delivered a 51.3 at Phillipsburg last week.
"It kind of motivated me, I am not going to lie," Griffith said. "To push myself a little bit more than the other ones, because I was more excited."
Jones said Griffith likely needs to run around 48 seconds to reach state. Jones said he has thought about pulling Griffith from the hurdles and putting her in the open 400 or open 800.
"I told him that if I make it to state this year or get close, then I am doing them next year," Griffith said. "He is like, 'We will think about it.'"
Griffith still does four events with each one about 15 minutes apart: the 3,200 relay, 1,600 run, hurdles and 1,600 relay. Griffith, known for drinking plenty of Dr. Pepper, still has the habit.
She brings two Dr. Peppers to each track meet and drinks them throughout the day. Griffith took fourth in the 1,600 (6:01.50), third in the 1,600 relay (4:17.02) and third in the 3,200 relay (10:32.15). Norton set season bests in the 1,600 relay by more than 10 seconds and by more than five seconds in the 3,200 relay.
Newbold back to form
Victoria sophomore Jayden Newbold qualified in the Class 1A long jump last spring, but has had a full schedule of various events this year. She missed the season-opening Alex Francis Classic because of regional choir.
She jumped 14 feet, 11.75 inches at the La Crosse meet on April 4 and then missed the Ellis meet April 8 because of FCCLA. Plus, she had some other conflicts, including vacation.
This past week, Newbold had her schedule finally cleared and jumped 15-6, easily her season best, to take second in the long jump. Plainville sophomore Shania Werner jumped 16-5.5 to win the event. Newbold also pole vaulted 7-6, a mark that is sometimes good enough to reach state in Class 1A.
"It's finally good to be back on track again," Newbold said. "I haven't been able to totally focus on track as much as I did last year. ... I feel like that is some of the reason why things are going so slow this year, but now I can finally focus on track."
Other top performances
Oberlin junior Demi Murray won the javelin (128-4), a mark that improved on her previous season best of 123-1. Murray currently ranks second in Class 2A. She also won the discus in 106-4. ... Plainville junior Mallory McQueen set a season-best in the triple jump (34-2) to win the event. TMP senior Sam Younie set a new career mark and took second (34-1.75). ... Ness City senior Dray Carson ran the second-fastest 2A time in the 1,600 (4.31.4). ... The girls' 800 had a premier field with the top-six runners under 2:38 and the top four under 2:32. Ness City senior Emily Hahn pulled away from teammate Jessie Rubottom to win 2:23.6 to 2:27.9.

The Call That Saved Canada
by Ian Orti • May 12, 2012 • Features, Hockey, Ian Orti • 4 Comments
IN THE 1993 STANLEY CUP SEMI-FINALS, when referee Kerry Fraser botched a call against Wayne Gretzky that cost Toronto a trip to the Stanley Cup Finals, fans in Toronto called it a league conspiracy to sell hockey to the south. They were only half right. It was indeed a conspiracy, but it was never about hockey.
It was about federalism.
No two things excite the passion of Canadians more than hockey and politics, and nowhere else in history did we see the excitement, furvor, and panic of the latter reach its apex than in the Quebec referendum of 1995. But the wheels of separation and the panic it induced were well in motion years before the referendum and it would not be long before the trophy of Canada's beloved sport would find itself caught in the middle of this political fight. The spoils of this conspiracy went, strategically, to the Montreal Canadiens; the losers were the Toronto Maple Leafs in a series where the two never even had a chance to meet.
On Jan 26, 1993 Jacques Parizeau predicted Quebec's independence by June 1995. With the failure of the Charlottetown Accord and the impending end of Mulroney's ruling conservatives, momentum was in their favour like never before and it was then that a Top Secret memo* circulated in the upper echelons of the Liberal party stipulating that federalists must use 'any means necessary' to make sure that Quebec did not separate including, if necessary, 'covert methods of subverting independent furvor' in the province. Later that spring, federalists were one goal away from total political destruction with the prospect of the Toronto Maple Leafs facing the Montreal Canadiens in the finals of the Stanley Cup playoffs.
For federalists, this matchup was a lose-lose scenario. In the most politically sensitive time in the nation's history the last thing that was needed was for the deepest rivalry in the country's national sport to take centre stage. A win for the Canadiens would give sovereigntists the moral and emotional thrust to push Francophone undecideds towards independence. A win for the Leafs would exacerbate divisions caused by a decades-long sports rivalry (aka Habs fans' hatred for the Leafs) and create a reactionary push of Anglophone voters upon whom the 'No' side depended away from anything Ontario.
Instead, other divisions needed to be exploited and the prospect of an entire country rallying behind a Quebec team against a big city American team could allow federalists to show Quebec that there was an entire nation on their side. After all, the prospects of consequences of separation were severe for all parties involved, including the Americans. The US simply could not risk their largest trading partner fragmenting in the wake of a recession and the formation of a young and already perilously fragile North American Free Trade Agreement. In April 1992, the International Monetary Fund had forecast that a united Canada would have strongest economic growth in industrial world in 1993, but a divided Canada, according to a September 25, 1992 report from the Royal Bank warned that the breakup of Canada would mean a $10,000 drop in family income and an unemployment rate of 15 per cent. Separation was clearly not an option.
Fast forward to game six where the leafs rallied back from a 4-2 deficit with the help of Wendel Clark's gutsy goals to take the game to overtime where in the opening seconds Wayne Gretzky clipped Doug Gilmour's chin and cut him open for eight stitches. Why does this matter? Because earlier that season NHL commissioner Gary Bettman promised a major crackdown on high sticking incidents by punishing incidents such as Gretzky's with a game misconduct. This would have given the surging Leafs a five minute powerplay in overtime. Instead, to the shock and dismay of Leaf fans, no call was made and, even more surprisingly, referee Kerry Fraser and both linesman denied seeing the incident despite photographic evidence that shows Fraser had an unimpeded view of the incident and the fact that Gilmour was lying on the ice trailing blood. Less than a minute later, the game was over. An un-penalized Wayne Gretzky had scored the game winner.
All of this, of course, would be circumstantial were it not for a leaked diplomatic cable from the Canadian Embassy in Washington dated in May 1993 that 'by any means necessary a Leafs-Habs final must be averted**.'
Whether or not now-retired referee Kerry Fraser was on anyone's payroll has yet to be proven and the rest of the leaked memo where we presume the names of operatives are located has been redacted. But Fraser would only be one of many who were employed by the Liberals to contain Quebec as the Sponsorship Scandal would later prove. Coincidentally, it was during the bribery-marred Sponsorship Program (a program established to heighten the Government of Canada's profile in Quebec via contributions to Quebec industries and other activities in order to quell momentum of the Parti Québécois and thwart their efforts to promote Quebec independence) that theToronto Maple Leafs were moved to the Eastern Conference, forever averting the possibility of the two teams meeting in the finals.
Originally published in Matrix magazine's The Hockey Issue.
*Okay so this never really circulated, or rather this is according to my own personal Deepthroat (which I pray you get the political reference), whom we must now therefore, again for the sake of my thesis, agree actually exists and upon whose testimony my whole argument rests.

"We get a little parking, little concessions, but very little," Marlins President David Samson told me.
He wouldn't tell me how much, but it's been estimated at $5 million, a paltry sum. Any way you cut it, the team is in a terrible place right now the cold clutches of Huizenga.
The Marlins really do need a new stadium, and it made sense when they went to Miami to try to get one there. But guess what? Miami-Dade County couldn't get the much-needed tax subsidy from the state because Huizenga is still collecting that $60 million for the same team.
He's getting a $167,000 check this month from the state for a team he hasn't owned since 1999. And we can't stop that money from going to him. You know why? He rigged the system to make it legal.
Are you feeling this yet? It's a slow crawl, a creeping dread. It's Huizenga fever.
Now the conventional wisdom is to build a new baseball stadium near the Broward-Miami line on land next to Dolphins Stadium. Guess who owns it. C'mon, you know the answer.
Huizenga himself. It's the fever, baby.
It would be a huge mistake to build on that land, and not just because of the owner. The site is out west in sprawl-land without an urban core nearby. It's an event locale made for football, a destination for leisurely, tailgating Sunday drives. Baseball is played after work, when only the most ardent fans want to drive to the county line to see games on a regular basis.
Yes, a spanking new stadium will help to bring out bigger crowds, but once the novelty wears off, the franchise will be left with the same old low attendance numbers.
Samson insists it can be anywhere in South Florida. He's wrong. It's got to be tied to a downtown to really thrive. And with Miami kaput, Fort Lauderdale is the last great hope. It not only has a solid working population to draw from but it's also dead center of the 7.5 million people in the tricounty area.
The best possible site is Broward Boulevard and Interstate 95, which has been in the news and in this space quite a bit lately. It's where the county is planning an office compound that is rife with insider dealings and corruption.
The property has special I-95 exits that nobody currently uses, a Tri-Rail station, and a state-owned parking lot. The picturesque north fork of the New River runs through it, and as the gateway to Fort Lauderdale, it's a two-mile straight shot from downtown.
It's as close to perfect as you're ever going to get. But guess who messed up just about any chance that Broward will finance a baseball stadium?
You feel a cold sweat coming on?
It's Huizenga. He struck a sweetheart deal with Broward County in the late '90s to build a hockey palace for yet another of his teams at the time, the Florida Panthers. You know the place. I believe it's called the National Car Office BankAtlantic Depot Center. It cost $185 million and sits out on the edge of the Everglades where nobody really sees it these days but fans of bad hockey and Celine Dion.
That's right: We traded America's pastime for Canada's.
Huizenga talked the County Commission (John Rodstrom, take a bow) into funding the whole thing with hotel bed taxes. At the time, the county projected that it would reap profits from the place somewhere between $1 million and $6 million a year. The only problem was that H. talked the commission into letting the Panthers pocket the first $14 million each year.
Guess what? The stadium has received more than $50 million in profits, and the county, which paid for the whole damned thing, has gotten a whopping $300,000-plus over six years.
So what does that mean? Well, the good old bed tax which primarily burdens tourists is tapped out. So the only way Broward could finance baseball is through a general-obligation bond that must be approved by the voters.
That's you.
So let's do the numbers. A 38,000-seat retractable stadium, all things included, would run at least $450 million, probably more.
Samson says the team was willing to put $30 million upfront for the busted Miami deal and pay rents to the county starting at $11 million annually for 38 years. That's enough to pay the debt service for $182 million worth of construction, according to Samson.
That same commitment would leave Broward with about $238 million to finance by itself. Using the same figures above, the tax burden would be something like $15 million a year.
Forget it, Loria. At that price, you can take your wannabe billionaire ass back to Montreal.
The only way voters will press "yes" for this thing is if they're equal partners in the stadium. The day a new stadium is completed, Loria is going to be at least $150 million richer. That's why $30 million upfront is chump change. He doles out $75 million at the start, minimum.
If the stadium's pulling in, say, $30 million in profits (which is a conservative estimate considering other parks), then the county should get an even split of that money until the debt is paid. That's $15 million for the county in rent, not $11 million. The stadium will likely pull in a minimum of $2 million a year for naming rights, probably more. The Marlins weren't giving any naming rights money to Miami. They will in Broward.
