Comments about Sixsixone Comp Knee Guard 2012:
These look like they offer excellent protection but are too restrictive and too bulky for use on a bicycle. There are two velcro straps for the upper and lower calf, and a third for the upper thigh. These do a good job of securing the knee/shin guard to your leg but it feels like a lot of extra work to constantly have to flex the guard while pedaling. I'm an avid motorcyclist and wear knee/shin guards while riding...I briefly considered keeping them for this purpose but they felt way too bulky to be comfortable even in a static position.

- Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel is getting more blunt in his cross-country town hall meetings. Now he is telling audiences at military installations that furloughs of Defense civilians are likely to continue in 2014. Hundreds of thousands of employees have already had their first of 11 unpaid days off planned for this year. Hagel says that because of the likelihood of another round of sequestration budget cuts, these are the facts of life. Hagel has already warned of layoffs in the next fiscal year. Analysts say the uniformed staff grew 3 percent during the Iraq and Afghanistan war years, but the civilian headcount has grown 14 percent. (Federal News Radio)
- The Pentagon is preparing parole-board-style hearings for 71 Guantanamo detainees. The decision comes years after President Barack Obama ordered the Periodic Review Boards, according to The Miami Herald. The six members on the panel represent the Pentagon, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Director of National Intelligence, and the departments of State, Justice and Homeland Security. They are supposed to evaluate whether the inmate is still a significant threat to national security. There is no word yet on when the hearings will start. Meanwhile, a Senate Judiciary panel will hold a hearing Wednesday on the implications of closing the Guantanamo prison. (The Miami Herald)
- House Republicans want to do away with a signature Education Department program. On a party line vote, they passed a bill to dismantle the troubled No Child Left Behind law. The legislation would eliminate federally required student testing. The Obama administration immediately issued a veto threat. An alternative Senate plan would give local school districts more flexibility, but keep the federal government as the arbiter of what's a good school improvement plan. No Child Left Behind was enacted in 2001 by a bipartisan coalition. (Federal News Radio)
- Federal employees' conversations with citizens would be more easily recorded under a new bill. Rep. Lynn Jenkins (R-Kan.) calls her bill the Citizens Empowerment Act. It would require agency employees to allow people to tape phone or face-to-face discussions about criminal or regulatory violations. It would apply when there's the possibility of fines or forfeitures. The bill would require feds to notify citizens of their right to record conversations. With advance notice, federal employees could also record the talks, but they would have to provide a transcript. (U.S. House of Representatives)
- One lawmaker wants to expand the federal employees' health benefits program to small businesses. Sen. Mark Begich (D-Alaska) pitches the idea as part of a package of bills to help small businesses meet the mandates of the Affordable Care Act. He says his state doesn't offer a lot of health care options for those businesses. The FEHBP could provide a competitive alternative. Begich says it would be off-limits in states where small businesses can choose from at least two other plans or a multi-state option. (U.S. Senate)
- The Transportation Security Administration is bringing faster security lines to the masses. It is expanding its trusted traveler program known as Precheck. Starting in the fall, any U.S. citizen can apply for $85. The cost covers TSA's screening, including a background check and fingerprints, and enrollment. Right now, about 12 million frequent fliers are in the expedited screening program. Administrator John Pistole says he expects another 3 million to enroll. Congress applauded the move. Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) says success will depend on how effective the agency communicates with the public and manages the program behind the scenes. (Federal News Radio)
- The National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education is working to standardize job descriptions for people who do cybersecurity work. To help move the project along, it plans a series of focus groups with cyber experts. The focus groups will start in mid- August and occur through October. The aim of the focus groups is to sharpen what the Initiative calls its Framework Version Two, which it hopes to draft by next spring. Focus group participants must have at least two years technical experience in cyber and, basically, know what they're talking about. They'll have at least four hours of reading to do before participating. The Initiative is working under the auspices of the National Institute of Standards and Technology. (National Institute of Standards and Technology)
- In its latest effort to protest National Security Agency surveillance programs, the hacker collective Anonymous has targeted FEMA. It stole and posted data about a cyber exercise that the agency conducted last year. In the exercise, a made-up group called "The Void" hacks into the networks of U.S. businesses. The data dump includes contact information for first responders and contractors. Last week, we reported that Anonymous also posted the email addresses and passwords for hundred of Capitol Hill employees. A Senate systems administrator says many of those were outdated. (Twitter)
- The U.S. Marshals Service has lost track of as many as 4,000 encrypted two-way radios. The equipment is worth millions of dollars, according to the Wall Street Journal. Its loss potentially endangers federal judges, witnesses and others protected by the Marshals. An internal investigation has warned Marshals' leadership about the problem since 2011. A spokesman tells the Journal, the problem may be the record-keeping system and that the radios aren't really lost. But employees report purchasing at least one of the agency's radios on eBay. (The Wall Street Journal)
- The Patent and Trademark Office is blaming sequestration for delaying its plan to expand beyond the Beltway. Acting Director Teresa Stanek Rea says PTO will not open permanent offices in Dallas, Denver or Silicon Valley yet. Agency staff in those areas are working out of temporary spaces. Rea says they are trying to make a dent in the Patent Trial and Appeal Board's caseload. She says they will hire more staff as necessary. The agency opened its first satellite office last year in Detroit. (U.S. Patent and Trademark Office)

If you have enough money, you can buy anything, so why wait for an organ you need to become available? Raised to be harvested for parts, Ray had already lost her eyes when renegade surgeon Black Jack rescued her. Now, ten years later, she has grown up to be a surgeon herself. Thanks to the unique artificial eyes she received as replacements, she has a reputation for performing incredible medical operations that no one else could even attempt.
But unknown to any but a select few, her surgical endeavors are only part of a greater mission: to discover what happened to the other children she was raised with, and to find the men who stole the eyes she was born with and to bring them to justice.

After a 28-7 Vodacom Super 14 caning at the hands of the Brumbies, Cats coach Frans Ludeke is unlikely to be relieved. He should be. His side would have been lucky to get zero.
Indeed Ludeke might be forgiven for a night on the town (Canberra is world-renowned for its incredible nightlife) as he toasts the fact that rugby does not award negative points. If ever a side deserved them, it is the donkeys he professes to coach parading as a professional franchise.
The only speck of redemption lay in the fact that, remarkably, the Brumbies only amassed three points in the second half. A half time score of 25-0 promised 50 at least, and the fact that only three more were added describes exactly how haphazard and amateurish Gandalf Fisher's hobbits were in delivering the killer blow.
The Cats won the second half 7-3. That will be the spin. Guts and glory in the second half, in which anything wearing white and blue was smashed backwards.
Appearances show a side struggling valiantly for the full 80 minutes. Reality shows a team so utterly outclassed in this competition that in denying the Brumbies a bonus point after conceding three scores in the opening half hour is perhaps their most notable accomplishment in two years of Super Rugby.
It would be easy to gloss over a scoreline that is not half as emphatic as the Brumbies dominace of possession and territory, but that would be irresponsible.
The Cats can tackle. And that's it. There are no structures, no plan, no direction.
It started with Calamity Snyman at 10, who shovelled passes, missed touch from a penalty, threw an intercept pass against the leg of George Gregan and sent a kick-off out on the full during his fourth successive game from hell.
He is by no means the scapegoat, however. Five kicks out on the full, two from Ricky Januarie, two from Earl Rose and one from Snyman was the scandelous waste of what little possession the Cats accrued.
When the gameplan dictates turning the Brumbies and ensuring their backline would have to run from deep in their own half, one kick out on the full is disappointing. Five is diabolical.
Similarly, when the gameplan dictates taking the Brumbies on upfront, the fact that deep in the second half the Brumbies opted for a scrum from a penalty in the Cats 22 says all you need to know about the Johannesburg side's supposed forward dominance.
The ease with which Willem Stoltz was bullied into touch as the Cats attempted to maul it from 5m out from one of the only attacking platforms they generated was another embarassment.
Rose's late score came as the Brumbies desperately sought the bonus point they should have secured at least 30 minutes previously. It was opportunism at best and pure luck more accurately.
Ludeke's team has guts. They tackle and do not roll over. It is not enough at Vodacom Super 14 level, and condoning that calamity in Canberra would show just how low expectations have slipped
The Brumbies will be no happier. The more superior side in every aspect, three points in the final 50 minutes of rugby is equally condemnable. In the context of a tightly contested competition, no-one need tell the great Gandalf just how vital the bonus point spurned could prove.
Tries: Adam Ashley-Cooper, Mark Gerrard and Stirling Mortlock
Cons: Matt Giteau and Gerrard
Pens: Gerrard 3
Try: Earl Rose
Con: Rose
78 mins: Brumbies botch yet another attempt at the bonus point. Cats hack ahead from their own line and Earl Rose has too much pace. He's under the sticks and he converts. (Rose 1/1
42 mins: Second half, no second wind for the Cats. Another transgression, another three points. (Gerrard 4/5)
32 mins: Cats are being destroyed. Again on their own line, a desperate penalty is conceded. Brumbies in cruise control don't even bother going for the try. They know the bonus point is a matter of when and not if. Gerrard adds three more points. (Gerrard 3/4)
30 mins: Brumbies go to sleep for 10 minutes, and reignite with an awesome move that switches from one end to the other. Mortlock takes the scoring pass from Larkham and has the pace to get in. Gerrard pops over the conversion. (Gerrard 2/3)
18 mins: Brumbies pinged at the lineout for pulling down the Cats jumper, it's a tough 45m kick just off the touchline. Calamity Snyman lines it up…it's not a bad effort but just fades away to miss. (Snyman 0/1)
16 mins: Cats getting ripped apart. Giteau weights a perfect grubber and Gerrard toes ahead to gather and score. Brumbies looking awesome early on… two attacks, two tries. (Giteau 1/1)
8 mins: Brumbies put it through a few phases for the first time in the match, and Adam Ashley-Cooper has time and space on the wing. Willem Stoltz and Earl Rose miss the tackle and he's in. Gerrard misses the conversion. (Gerrard 1/2)
3 mins: Late hit on Larkham by Wylie Human and Pietman van Niekerk. Penalty is taken from where the ball lands after Larkham hacks ahead. Bang in front, Mark Gerrard obliges. (Gerrard 1/1)

Gallery: Russia's First Active House is 7 Times More Efficient Than the...
Various kinds of renewable energy sources were integrated into the design, most notably solar.
The designers managed to slash the building's carbon footprint so that it emits only 110 kWh/ m2 a year by using building-integrated solar panels and passive design techniques that ensure the home is flooded with light and well-ventilated.
The home is clad in sustainably sourced timber, giving it a natural, fresh look. The completion of the project was such a big deal for Russia that His Royal Highness Crown Prince Frederik of Denmark cut the ribbon at a ceremony, marking the completion of the country's very first Active House.

Cat Liver Cancer
Cat Liver Cancer
Taking your cat to the vet for regular checkups is very important as it not only can ensure that they are getting the care they need but also detect any serious illnesses. Certain Cat Liver Disease can be life threatening if you do not detect them early on and liver cancer is one of these. The earlier you find out about it then the more chance your vet has of treating your cat and the higher your cat's survival rate is. It can be heartbreaking when your cat is ill and you will want to do everything you can to try and cure them.
What is Liver cancer?
Like many other forms of Cat Cancer, the cells in your cat's body mutate and multiply, killing the healthy cells in their bodies. Often these cells will then form tumors which will then harm your cat. If you do not catch this form of cancer very quickly then your cat is very likely to die from it. When a mass or tumor grows inside the liver it stops it from functioning properly and can also spread to other vital organs as well. Although this form of cancer is quite uncommon it can occur and you need to ensure that you keep on top of your cat's health.
Symptoms of liver cancer
There are several non specific symptoms that can be linked to this form of cancer and these include Cat Loss of Appetite, Cat Increased Thirst, Cat Vomiting and tiredness. Your cat may also be experiencing Cat Increased Urination more than usual which is an indication that their liver is not working as well as it should. Your cat may be suffering from all of these or simply some of them and if you are worried or unsure then you should take them to a vet immediately. They will be able to determine what is wrong and can formulate an ideal treatment for your cat.
Diagnosis and the way forward
When you take your cat to the vet, they will run a series of tests including blood tests to determine what is wrong with him. Deficiency of red blood cells and high platelets will often indicate your cat has a liver problem. There may be other reasons as well, so the vet will take x-rays to determine if there is a mass in or around your cat's liver. Ultrasounds are often used as well as these are effective and noninvasive to your cat. Your vet will then need to do a biopsy to determine what the mass is and if it is cancerous or not.
Treatment of liver cancer
Surgical treatments are the most effective with liver cancer and removing the problem is the first stage. There is however several side effects to having this done and you will need to decide if it is in the best interest to have the surgery. Radiation therapy is often performed on cats with this form of cancer and can have good results. Whatever course of treatment you decide on, you will need to be quick in deciding as time is very important when your cat has liver cancer.

Reduce Bandwidth Needs
vSphere Replication, VMware's proprietary replication engine, copies only changed blocks to the recovery site. This approach lowers bandwidth utilization and enables more aggressive recovery point objectives (RPOs) than manual, full-system virtual machine replication. With Replication, you can:
- Leverage a "seed copy" of virtual machine data during initial synchronization.
- Ensure efficient network utilization by tracking changed disk areas and only replicating deltas.
Eliminate Storage Lock-In
vSphere Replication is the only hypervisor-based replication solution, that operates at the individual virtual machine disk (VMDK) level, allowing replication between datastores hosted on any storage.
- Repurpose older storage at protection site.
- Allow for differing storage technologies at opposite sites (e.g. SAN to NAS, FC to iSCSI).
- Use secondary storage only for protected virtual machines, not the entire environment.
Build Flexible Disaster Recovery Configurations
Ensure consistent application and virtual machine data with a single click when configuring a virtual machine for replication.
- Integrate automatically with Microsoft's Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) to ensure consistent recovery copies.
- Leverage flexible RPOs of 15 minutes to 24 hours.
- Control virtual machine replication via VMware vCenter Server.
- Scale to hundreds of virtual machines per cluster.
- Use multiple point–in-time snapshots to revert to previous known states.
Technical Details
Hypervisor-Level Virtual Machine Replication
Replication is a deeply integrated VMware vSphere component—it's the industry's only true "hypervisor-level" virtual machine replication engine. Changed blocks in the virtual machine disk(s) for a running virtual machine at a primary site are sent to a secondary site. There, they are applied to the virtual machine disks for the offline (protection) copy of the virtual machine.
Agent-Based Replication Management
vSphere Replication includes an agent inside the core vSphere installation package on each host, plus a set of virtual appliances that are deployed from the management interface. The agent sends changed data from a running virtual machine to the appliance at a remote site; the appliance then adds the replication to the offline disk files for that virtual machine. The appliance also manages the replication process, giving administrators visibility into virtual machine protection status as well as the ability to recover virtual machines with a few clicks.
Adjustable Recovery Point Objectives
It's easy to configure replication for up to 500 virtual machines via the standard vCenter Server management interface: simply right-click on a virtual machine and select the destination for its replica. The process includes setting an RPO to define how old each virtual machine copy is allowed to get. vSphere Replication will then replicate data to meet the RPO at all times, ensuring that virtual machine content never ages past its defined replication policy.
Virtual Machine Synchronization and Seed Copies
vSphere Replication will do an initial synchronization of the source virtual machine and its replica copy. If desired, a seed copy of data can be placed at the destination to minimize the time and bandwidth required for the first replication. A seed copy of a virtual machine consists of a virtual machine disk file that can be positioned at the target location through nearly any mechanism. A seed can be manually created or copied into place by any mechanism the administrator chooses, such as offline copying, FTP, "sneakernet" or even an ISO or virtual machine clone.
Intelligent Transfers
After baseline synchronization is complete, vSphere Replication will transfer only those blocks of data that have changed. The vSphere kernel tracks unique writes to protected virtual machines, identifying and replicating only those blocks that have had unique writes during the pre-set RPO. This keeps network traffic to a minimum and allows for aggressive RPOs. Unique data only requires sending once. Only changes will be replicated and sent to the target location's vSphere Replication appliance.
Non-Intrusive Replication
The virtual machine replication process is non-intrusive and takes place irrespective of the operating system. It is transparent to protected virtual machines and requires no changes to their configuration or ongoing management.

The Conservators' Center in Caswell County said goodbye to Sadie, one of its lionesses, Jan. 6 after her long fight with cancer. She had to leave her pride mates and caretakers behind, but the impact this 450-pound giant left will not fade anytime soon.
Sadie came to the Conservators' Center, a nonprofit organization that combines education and living animals, from a neglectful facility in 2004. She and the other animals were not given proper food or clean water and were housed in undersized cages with species they were not compatible with, said Mindy Stinner, one of the Center's co-founders.
After the Center agreed to take in some of the big cats, another facility that had said it could take in the remaining cats closed. Because the animals would not have had another chance to survive, Stinner and the other co-founder, Douglas Evans, agreed to revamp their business plan to take in all 14 of the lions and tigers.
"However much it set us back, it cost us enormous work and money and stress," Evans said. "All of them that came here have come back from the brink of disaster."
Sadie arrived with three other members of her pride: Mufasa, Ugmo and Kiera. The center had never dealt with lions before.
"It takes years to learn how to interact with these animals safely," Evans said. "It takes years to know how to construct an enclosure or even a den that is adequate for the animal."
The big cats were transported from Ohio to North Carolina. When the truck arrived at the center, Sadie was the first to jump into her new home: a 60-foot long enclosure with a den box, trees and plenty of room to play.
"She bounced off the walls," Stinner said. "She was so excited she ran around in the grass and rolled and sniffed everything and smelled the trees."
Toward the end of the day, Evans visited the lions to see how they had calmed down and adjusted to the new environment.
"Sadie came right up to Doug and looked at him," Stinner said. "She put her chin up on the fence and rubbed her cheek a little bit and closed her eyes. So, he scratched under her chin a little bit."
The lion sighed heavily.
"That was it," Stinner said. "Sadie wanted chin rubs from everybody she could get one from after that."
Within the first few weeks, the vets discovered four of them, including Sadie, had either come to the center pregnant or became pregnant soon after arrival.
After four months, the center went from owning three big cats to over 30. Sadie's birthing story is particularly close to Evans.
Sadie delivered her cubs in a mud puddle behind the den box on a rainy, cold day. The other lions were moved into a separate part of the enclosure and protective tarp was set up over Sadie and the cubs. Stinner and Evans monitored the situation, hoping Sadie would know what to do. But the lioness had never raised cubs before and struggled to understand their immediate needs.
When it was clear the babies would die without human intervention, Stinner cut a small hole in the fence and was able to get two cubs out of the enclosure. The remaining babies had wiggled under the den box and out of Stinner's reach.
Evans cautiously went into the enclosure with Sadie to search for the remaining cubs. Meanwhile, Stinner and the other volunteers fed Sadie chicken quarters through the fence to keep her away from Evans.
"As big as lions look when you're outside the cage, they grow exponentially when you go in the cage with them," Evans said.
Regardless of the food distraction, Sadie alternated between eating and stomping on the floor of the den box, as if to say the cubs were under that spot, Evans said.
When Evans found one of the cubs, he showed it to Sadie before passing it to Stinner.
After two hours, Sadie had eaten 70 pounds of meat and there was no sign of the last cub.
"I was ready to call it, to say, 'this is over now,'" Evans said. "But I just couldn't. So I laid back down."
He was under the den box when suddenly he didn't hear Sadie pawing. Then he saw what he had been looking for.
"Little white ears come up and then a face and the little eyes that are still closed," Evans said of Willow, the final cub. "I was able to reach and pull her and get her out."
Once Evans was out of the enclosure, the other lions were let back in, and with huffs and puffs, disappeared in the den box.
UGMO AND SADIE had always been close, but in August 2012, the staff noticed Ugmo was spending more time grooming Sadie than before. After observing her, they noticed a small black dot under Sadie's chin.
"There were a number of things it could have been, however it was the worst it could possibly be," Evans said.
After some time, they decided to call in a vet, who did not like the look of the bump. They sedated the lioness to take a closer look.
The lump was removed and sent to a lab where researchers confirmed it was cancerous and had already become a systemic issue.
The mass came back quickly and aggressively. However, the spot was not painful for the lioness. While Sadie underwent different treatments and medicines, she remained her happy-go-lucky self.
While the keepers and other staff provided the best care they could for Sadie, Ugmo did her part as well.
"What was very touching to us was watching Ugmo tend to Sadie until the end of her life," said Mandy Matson, communications manager at the Conservators' Center. "She would not leave her side."
Sadie stayed alive and happy a lot longer after her diagnosis than the Center's staff expected, Stinner said.
A few days after New Year's Day, Sadie had trouble getting up and eating.
"We just made sure she had really good bedding and we gave her that evening to spend time with Ugmo and the two of them cuddled," Stinner said.
The next morning, Evans and Stinner sedated Sadie themselves before allowing a vet, keepers and others who had spent a lot of time with her into the enclosure. Sadie was calm and Ugmo, who was sectioned off with the other lions, was quietly watching. As soon as the vet gave Sadie the first injection, Ugmo laid down.
"(Ugmo) went over and stretched out in the straw that she and Sadie had shared and just went, thunk, and took a nap and didn't wake up for almost 24 hours," Stinner said. "She just crashed. She had been care-giving for so long."
The Conservators' Center remembers Sadie as a lion who was willing to do anything for the people she knew.
"She was always fun, all the way up to the end, when she was very sick," Evans said. "She would make the effort to come over and visit. I miss her terribly. The pride is not the same without her."
Sadie's life improved dramatically when she came to North Carolina and she helped fulfill the center's goal: to change people's perceptions about the world, its ecosystems and to respect Earth's many diverse organisms.
Her life was full and happy, Stinner said. Her death was expected, but it was also peaceful.
"She absolutely had the most wonderful kind of ending," Evans said. "It's the kind of thing people hope for, that all of their family and all of their friends come to see them. She passed gently. She was ready."

So I am using
ArcGIS 10 and trying to work in British National Grid. My shape file is in WGS84 UTM30N. By chance I passed the shape file across to a colleague and we both transformed into BNG.
When we compared the data there was a significant difference in our results. I have since cross checked with QGIS, Global mapper and a website or two and got a whole range of results but in general the most common is the result my colleague got.
My question I guess is three-fold:
- What have I done wrong?
- Why is there such a variation (~150m) in values? (1 or 2m error is probably ok for what I am looking at.)
- Which value is "right"?
Bit of a beginner-ish question I fear but help would be much appreciated!

Pancake Mix
Maple-Sweetened and Naturally Delicious In Your Choice Of 3 Flavors
Pancake Mix 5 5
Best tasting pancakes ever These pancakes remind me of cool frosty mornings in the fall sitting down to hot pancakes smothered in maple syrup. Yum September 27, 2013
Brought back memories I was raised in MA where buckwheat pancakes were common and when I moved away I forgot about them until this year. I receive the catalog and saw it, ordered it, fed it to my husband for the first time and he loves them. I also tried another site to buy in bulk but though it was good, it was dark and heavy. I would love to find this is bulk because there is no other brand that will taste as good as this one. June 23, 2013
Buckwheat Pancake Mix is Wonderful I'm always looking for high fiber foods. Buck wheat is a better choice then the other mixes. My family likes the pancakes as well and I can only find them at Vermont Countrry Store :O) June 4, 2013
Reviving a Memory One of my grandparents used to buy us this buckwheat pancake mix when I was a kid. It is DELICIOUS! I had forgotten about buckwheat pancakes as an adult for awhile then somehow my husband and I were talking about them and I wanted some. I bought the Bob's Red Mill mix and while they were ok it just wasn't the taste I was wanting and my 4 year old didn't like it. I called my mom on the phone to ask where she used to get her mix. "Your grandma used to send it from the Vermont Country Store". Quickly I pulled up the website and ordered some. JUST AS GOOD AS I REMEMBERED!!!! The BEST buckwheat pancake mix around!!! May 10, 2013
Comfort Foods brought back fond memories... I decided to order pancake mix and assorted jellies for biscuits & toast... Everything was a big hit (like something you'd expect at a top notch bed & breakfast inn)! December 19, 2012

Former England captain Lewis Moody has retired from all rugby with immediate effect.
Moody called time on his international career following England's disastrous 2011 World Cup campaign. On Tuesday, he announced that he would be retiring from all forms of the game after an ongoing battle with injury.
'I'm totally gutted I have had to take the decision to retire from all forms of rugby,' he said. 'I will truly miss it. I have been very privileged to have played in some incredible teams and with some phenomenal players.'
Moody played 71 times for England and earned three caps for the British & Irish Lions. He was also one of England's most decorated players having won seven Premiership titles, two European Cups, one LV= Cup, two Six Nations Championships and one World Cup.
As the captain of the 2003 team that won the World Cup, Martin Johnson said Moody would be remembered as one of the game's special players.
'When I look back at playing with Lewis it always brings a smile to my face – it was never dull,' said Johnson. 'He was one of the most committed guys I ever played with and had a complete disregard for his own physical wellbeing.
'It's sad that he has had to retire but he should be remembered for a great career and someone who never gave less than 100% for his club and country.'

Nationality: BULBorn : 08.03.1990Place of birth: Varna

21-year-old Bozhidar Avramov remains one of the most promising players in Bulgarian basketball. Having only tasted a handful of minutes both as a teenager during EuroBasket 2009 in Poland and also last year during the Qualifying Round, the guard will be hoping he can now increase his court-time. He has experience playing outside of Bulgaria in addition to an impressive youth career. Avaramov has great size and combined with his athleticism, he is a good defensive presence, while at the offensive end he utilises his quickness and dribbling skills to find open team-mates. Rarely reliant on a mid-range game, he loves to either slice to the hoop or make perimeter shots and that reflects his ability to play the two-spot as a combo guard. Some thought it may have been a mistake to return to his homeland last season but it was a great success as he showed more consistency and gained even more confidence as he outshone the import players when winning the Bulgarian Cup.

The Maldives Tourism Promotion Board and representatives from Maldives tourism industry participated in the 31st World Travel Market (WTM) that was held from 8 to 11 November 2010 at ExCel London. This is the biggest travel trade event held in the United Kingdom.
The Maldivian delegation led by the State Minister of Tourism, Arts & Culture; Mr. Thoyyib Mohamed Waheed, comprises 177 participants from 75 organisations, namely resorts, hotels and tour operators that participated in WTM 2010 under the Maldives' banner. 35 companies represented resorts and hotels in the Maldives and also travel agencies selling resorts, hotels and live-aboards participated in this fair.
WTM, the second largest travel trade exhibition after ITB Berlin, serves as an ideal platform for Maldivian suppliers and relevant agencies to establish marketing networks with their United Kingdom (UK) and European counterparts. The Maldivian delegation updated the travel trade and members of the media in the UK and Europe on new developments and products in Maldives. Participation in this annual travel market helped to strengthen the presence of Maldives in the European market as WTM brings together worldwide buyers and sellers from every sector of the industry.
Maldives continuous support for this annual event demonstrates a firm interest in the UK market, which remains its main focus in Europe.
THE MALDIVES STAND: The two-storey Maldives Stand with an area space of 276 sq. meters is prominently located at stand number AS340, next to the India and Mauritius stand. Maldives stand at WTM was re-designed with a bigger floor area to portray the dynamism of the tourism product developments in the destination Maldives.
During the event, the State Minister held interviews and meetings with the major tour operators and key tourism players in UK.
As part of the promotional activities during the market targeting the travel agents, a raffle draw was organised to give away a free holiday prize to the Maldives. The raffle draw was held at the end of the four day show at 16:00 on 11th November 2010. The main purpose of this draw was to drive more visitors to the Maldives stand and to convey the massage of voting for the Maldives as the New 7 Wonder of Nature campaign. Number of visitors at the Maldives stand had voted for Maldives through the voting stations located throughout the stand.
Maldives stand was also amongst the six stands who received the Best Stand Awards at WTM which was announced on 9th November 2010. On behalf of the Maldives delegation the State Minister accepted the award for the 'Best Stand for Interacting with Travel Agents' given away by the Exhibition Director of Reed Exhibitions, Mr. Simon Press.
The panel of judges praised the Maldives stand which was designed by Global Display Ltd.; for its layout including areas to drop by and pick up brochures as well as an upstairs breakout area for more serious meetings. Furthermore, they also singled out the knowledgeable and helpful team and overall the stand was described by the panel of judges as 'approachable and easy to interact with'.
STATISTICS: Maldives recorded a total of 643,410 tourist arrivals during the first ten months of 2010, indicating a sign of continuous growth of tourists to the country. It represented an increase of 21.8 per cent compared to 528,271 for the same period in 2009. The UK remains Maldives' prime market in Europe. In 2009, a total of 105,950 tourists from the UK visited Maldives and ranked as the top tourist generating markets to Maldives.
The first ten months of this year recorded a total of 95,586 travellers from the UK visiting Maldives, signifying an increase of 9.4 per cent compared to the corresponding period in 2009.
The unaudited figure of this year's event reveals that 26,908 visitors attended WTM 2010 over the four days compared to 24,402 visitors who attended WTM 2009. Visitors include press, media and travel trade.
Furthermore, overall participant figures increased by 4.7% compared to WTM 2009. WTM 2010 saw 47,719 travel industry professionals take part compared to 45,571 at WTM 2009. There were more than 5,000 exhibitors including 628 Main Stand Holders, compared to 607 in 2009.

Women's Basketball Falls to J.C. Smith in Season Opener 62-57
November 15, 2009
CHARLOTTE, N.C. Pfeiffer University opened up its 2009-2010 womens basketball season with a 62-57 loss to Johnson. C Smith on Sunday night in day one of the Queen City Classic. The Bulls Wendy Stywalt led all scorers with 16 points as the Lady Falcons had three scorers in double figures, but couldnt hold on to a late lead. Sunday marked the opener for both squads.
Brittany Coxs layup gave Pfeiffer a 14-12 lead early on in the first half. A pair of jumpers by Stywalt would shift the lead back to J.C. Smith before a three-pointer by Jamila Harris gave the Lady Falcons a 19-18 edge. A three-ball by Domonique China cut a five-point deficit into two, before Shakira Clarke tossed in a couple of jumpers for a five-point Bulls lead at the break.
After a pair of China free throws put the Lady Falcons back on top 38-37 five minutes into the second period, the Lady Falcons would hold that until Demetria Bell knocked down a couple of free throws with just under four and a half minutes left in the game. Three Pfeiffer turnovers in a 60-second span gave the Bulls the edge they needed as Stywalt and Jasmine Alston combined to toss in six late free throws to seal the win.
China and Olivia Surratt paced Pfeiffer with 11 points on the night while Devona Knight followed closely with 10. The Lady Falcons will wrap up their tournament play in the Queen City Classic with a 4:00 p.m. tip-off with Wingate on Monday after. Pfeiffer will open up their Conference Carolinas season a week from Tuesday at home against Lees-McRae.

Glacier Peak girls finally get with it, beat Redmond
Coach's halftime question energizes Grizzlies in 45-35 victory

Michael O'Leary / The Herald
Glacier Peak's Nicole Fausey shoots over a Redmond defender during Thursday's game at the 2012 Rebel Challenge Series at Juanita High School.
The answer was a resounding yes.
After scoring only one basket in the first quarter and trailing 16-10 to Redmond at halftime, Glacier Peak came out on fire in the second half. The Grizzlies outscored the Mustangs 20-4 in the third quarter en route to a 45-35 victory on the first day of the 2012 Rebel Challenge Series, which pits Wesco girls hoops teams against Kingco teams.
"First I went (into the locker room) and asked 'Are you ready to play now?' because I think we took (Redmond) a little light," Hill said. "Defensively we gave up on our assignments and offensively I think we forced a lot of stuff and we didn't execute our offense very well."
Glacier Peak started the game disjointed and couldn't get their shots to go in the hoop in the first half, knocking down just four field goals and going 2-for-9 from the free throw line in the first two quarters.
In the second half, Glacier Peak got back to basics and started getting the ball to its post presence: Nicole Fausey. The Grizzlies' 6-foot-4 post scored the first two baskets after halftime and had 10 points in an 13-2 run that gave Glacier Peak a 23-18 lead midway through the third quarter. It was the first Grizzlies' lead and they didn't relinquish as Redmond couldn't get any closer than seven points the rest of the way.
"We've been telling them all year there aren't a lot of 6-4 posts out on the floor, and if we get Nicki the ball in these situations, she'll be successful," Hill said.
"Nicki did a better job of putting herself in a better position on the floor. Sometimes she'll post herself up too low and it's tough to get her the ball. But I thought she put herself in some really good spots (in the third quarter), and she came out more aggressive on getting her defender on her back. And when they fronted her we made some tremendous entry passes over the top."
Fausey's success inside opened it up outside for teammate Allie Weathersby, who hit two 3-pointers and added another basket in the third quarter, which ended with Glacier Peak holding a commanding 30-20 lead.
"If she gets doubled up, we have the opposite wing and we got some outside shots when she got doubled tonight and some inside stuff when they didn't," Hill said of Fausey.
"And Allie's a great asset because she can play inside because she's strong and she's one of our better outside shooters."
Glacier Peak's defense was also a big factor in the third-quarter run. Forcing the Redmond players to use their off-hand, the Grizzlies' pesky defense forced six turnovers and limited the Mustangs to just 2-for-14 shooting in the quarter. Also, Glacier Peak senior forward India Smith did a good job defensively on Redmond's Kelsey Dunn in the quarter, holding the Mustangs' star junior wing to just one basket.
"Our defense really stepped up in that third quarter," Hill said. "We forced them to the left a bit more and that seemed to help."
Glacier Peak plays Franklin at 8:30 tonight and closes out the Rebel Challenge with Hazen Saturday at 5:30 p.m.
The Grizzlies, who have only lost to ranked teams Bellevue and Inglmoor and Wesco 3A South rival Meadowdale in the first nine games, turns its attention to the 3A North when league play resumes next week.
"We get to play the North which will be interesting to see how Stanwood and Everett and Marysville Pilchuck are doing," Hill said. "We're excited. As long as we're playing great at the end of January and February we'll be fine."
At Juanita H.S.
Glacier Peak 2 8 20 15 -- 45
Redmond 10 6 4 15 -- 35
Glacier Peak--Taylor Baird 4, Sadie Mensing 5, Sophia Gaffney 2, Victoria Goudreau 0, India Smith 1, Sarah Smith 0, Sawyer Manning 0, Kianna Garner 2, Nicole Fausey 17, Allie Weathersby 14. Redmond--Sierra Craig 2, Kelley Koeppen 2, Lauren Bogard 18, Kelsey Dunn 9, Ali Jorgensen 4. 3-point goals--Weathersby 2. Records--Glacier Peak 6-3 overall. Redmond 2-6.

I have a HP a6734f desktop, Windows 7, 64-bit. The built-in 15 in 1 card reader does not detect the CF card when I insert it. In fact, the little green light doesn't come on at all. When I click on "Computer", there is no drive for it. just C, D and E (CD -Rom). Tried Device Manager, nothing that I could find. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Within the first hour of being open, more than 100 veterans came to the Disabled American Veterans job fair in
One transitioning Marine, Capt. Anthony Friel, brought part of his platoon with him.
"Marines are sought after in the civilian world," said Friel, 33, of
At Thursday the doors of the DAV opened to veterans as more than 30 employers stood by to conduct impromptu interviews. The Division of Workforce Solutions and the DAV cosponsored the event, which was open to only veterans from until Civilian job seekers were able to attend at
"I think I can take my leadership elsewhere and add tremendous value to an organization," Friel said. "If you take the skill sets you learn in the Marine Corps to an outside organization, your skills will expand exponentially."
Nobody joins the Corps for a job, Friel said.
"People join the Marine Corps due to a calling," Friel said. "I wanted to take them to the job fair so they can find a new calling. The job fair is more valuable than a web page because people can get face-to-face time, make contacts and get questions answered."
For the DAV chapter commander, John Bryant, it's all about letting veterans know there are opportunities and jobs out there.
"They don't know there are corporations looking to hire — good paying jobs looking for veterans," said Bryant, a Marine Corps combat veteran of the Gulf War era.
The DAV also had a service officer on site to answer any disability and compensation questions regarding the Department of Veterans Affairs.
"While the main goal is to allow community employers to talk to veterans, we also offer a DAV service officer to help vets with their claims," Bryant said. "When some vets get out, they don't know exactly what programs they rate. We show them there are education, medical and death benefits. We try to make them aware."
The job fair should be a beacon of hope for veterans said Bryant.
"Don't give up," Bryant said. "There are employment opportunities out there. Be persistent. Have a plan and know what you want to do.
"And as a veteran, always remember your service organizations are here to help.

Hearing the final moans of the Easley crowd behind me, I jogged onto the field after the Green Wave's 7-6 loss to Seneca Friday night.
Easley football fans had just seen their team miss a 42-yard field goal that would have won the game, and needless to say, the atmosphere was a little bleak.
After every game, you always (for the most part) see two gracious teams' showing support for one another by shaking hands and exchanging congratulations.
More than a few Easley players and coaches walked with their heads down, not wanting to face the reality of what just happened, but not too long after the final buzzer, something cool happened.
Players began to gather in a circle and (from my experience as a high school football player) I could tell what was about to happen. The players were huddling to have a word of prayer. Not just a few players, but both teams.
Coaches joined in, creating the final layer of the circle that was already filled in with players from both teams touching shoulder pads.
With everyone finally gathered, a Seneca player stood among crowd who had just been gunning for each other's' heads 10 minutes earlier and lead the teams in prayer.
This gesture wasn't foreign for me. I had bowed with my team a million times during my years as a high school football player. We said the Lord's Prayer before heading out of the locker room and we knelt on the field after the game was over.
It was something our coaches demanded of us.
It was a sign of our gratefulness.
For folks in Pickens County, however, gestures like this may be a sight for sore eyes. Earlier this year, The Pickens County School Board voted to do away with student led prayer before monthly meetings. The decision came after a letter from the Freedom From Religion Foundation threatened a lawsuit if nothing changed about the policy.
Despite outcry from numerous Pickens County residents, the board voted to continue with prayer before meetings, adhering to a non-sectarian style prayer led by board members.
Many in the community were disgusted with the decision, voicing their opinions during an open public forum.
A Liberty High senior even received national attention after voicing the Lord 's Prayer during his Valedictorian speech.
The speech, which received raving cheers from Liberty High parents and graduation attendees, was met again with the question of whether it was okay or not to pray in public settings.
On Friday night, I think that question was answered.
Easley players and coaches may have been bummed about the loss, but they were still willing to gather to show respect. They still wanted to express their gratitude.
If you still harbor bitter feelings about the school board's decision to turn away from a sectarian-style prayer, be encouraged by Friday night's example.
Prayer is still taking place in schools, even if you think it's not.

Nice invitation
Careful as fresh colour can rub off on white envelopes
MagnetStreet is amazing
We used MagnetStreet for basically all of our wedding items. This allowed everything to match perfectly, and really gave our bike theme more prominence. The company made and shipped everything in time, and even gave us a few extra copies of things. Everything looked so professional yet still personalized. We were very happy that we happened to find this website!
Best invite
Looked at every other site. Best of everything out there. Processing time and quality was amazing. Great compliments from our guests
Amazing product!
We could not be more thrilled with our invitations from Magnet street. They have gone above and beyond to make sure the product we ordered was perfect, and even went as far as calling me and sending me proofs. We were able to customize everything exactly as we wanted it. We are so impressed with this company and getting my invitations in a beautiful box was just the icing on the cake . Thank you for helping us make our day so special!!
Very pleased
Everything was exactly as shown. The quality was very good and shipping time as promised.

If I had to try and imitate the original Swedroe concept given your mix, I would likely be 100% Vanguard Small Cap Index (about 30% of your portfolio), and the rest (70%) in ST High Quality Bonds (given current TIPS yields, and once I thoroughly looked under the hood of that ST fund you have there), or some mix of Vanguard TIPS and ST Bonds, as you suggested. Remember, the Swedroe conept is a massive concentration (tilt) but in a small equity allocation.
I would not use the Total International fund for the same reason Larry said not to use the TSM fund, even as Larry's portfolio is internationally diversified. Backtesting this 30/70, above, might show Returns, Max Drawdowns, and a Standard Deviation, not very different to what Larry's portfolio would have done in backtest. Going forward, things may be different. As discussed many times, by Larry and others, understanding how different this design is from a Total Markets portfolio (or even most other portfolios), is important.
