Wagamama serves up a pan-Asian cuisine that features a fusion of eclectic traditional favorites with modern flavors. The fare is made fresh and all items are featured on a dietary menu, allowing guests full access to the ingredients in their food. Orders are taken via electronic pads, meaning that preparation begins in the kitchen as soon as you have made a choice on what to order. Dishes come to the table in the order that they are prepared, which can be problematic for groups who want to eat together. Start off with a range of dumplings, or dive right into the kare noodle soups. The atmosphere is also a major draw with lots of open, light space and minimalist décor. The end result is a dining experience that has only grown in popularity as new locations have opened worldwide.

Past Research
Description and Documentation of Khwarshi
The aim of the project is to write a comprehensive grammar of Khwarshi. The grammar will consist of several parts: phonology, morphology, syntax, plus a small lexicon and texts.
Khwarshi belongs to the Tsezic subgroup of the Avar-Andic-Tsezic group within the Nakh-Dagestanian language family. It is spoken by about 3000 people who live in Tsumada district, in the villages Inkhokwari, Khwarshi, Kwantlada, Khwaini, Santlada and in the lowland settlements Oktjabrskoe, Pervomajskoe and Aksaj, all in the Xasawjurt region of Dagestan. Khwarshi has several dialects such as Khwarshi Proper, Inkhokwari, Kwantlada, Santlada, and Khwaini. The work is based on the Kwantlada dialect.
The project is based on several fieldtrips to Dagestan and previous studies of the Tsezic languages. Like other Tsezic languages Khwarshi is unwritten. Khwarshi has very rich nominal morphology, with such categories as case, number and gender. The language shows gender agreement where gender prefixes are added to verb roots. Khwarshi is an ergative language with basic SOV word order and widespread use of non-finite verb forms.

DURHAM — Even coming off one of the most disturbing losses on record, Duke plays another game with the label as the country's No. 1 team.
The Blue Devils will try to enjoy it well it lasts.
Maryland visits this afternoon as Duke tries to wipe away the cobwebs of Wednesday night's 90-63 loss at No. 25 Miami.
Since then, the Blue Devils have been hunkered down certainly try to figure out how to make things right after their second loss in the last three games. The new poll comes out Monday.
Duke is playing its only home game amid a four-game stretch today with the Atlantic Coast Conference game.
Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski said on the Duke Basketball Report, a daily broadcast segment with Bob Harris — the radio Voice of the Blue Devils — that it was "embarrassing" the way the Blue Devils lost to Miami.
"It's not acceptable," Krzyzewski said.
It was the sixth time in the last 10 seasons that Duke lost a game by more than 15 points.
Krzyzewski talked on the brief broadcast segment about the importance of moving forward.
"Each game has its own entity," he said.
In the loss to Miami, the Blue Devils had eight shots blocked. That's the most times the Blue Devils had been rejected this season. Today, Maryland arrives with center Alex Len, who ranks third in the ACC in blocked shots with 1.9 per game.
Who: Maryland (15-4, 3-3) at No. 1 Duke (16-2, 3-2)
When: 1 p.m. today (CBS)
Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham
Series: Duke leads 112-61

So, the shell not enough? Fancy a bit of IDE action?
Well you're in the right place.
Here you will find the latest information regarding the groovy Eclipse plug-in, some step-by-step instructions to build or download, install and test ...
Check also : Hacking the Eclipse plug-in for some status info and current issues and bugs
Build the latest version from CVS
- Check out /groovy/ide/groovy-eclipse/Groovy and /groovy/ide/groovy-eclipse/GroovyEclipse from CVS (see here http://groovy.codehaus.org/cvs-usage.html for CVS info) into separate Eclipse projects. Just use simple check-outs, CVS already contains all the information Eclipse needs to create the projects properly (i.e. .project and .classpath and other files)
- Select the GroovyEclipse project in the package explorer view, right mouse click, select Export and a pop-up window called Export shows up.
- In the Export pop-up, select "Deployable plug-ins and fragments", click next, then:
- In the Available Plug-ins and Fragments list, select "org.codehaus.groovy", "org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse"
- In Export Options/Deploy as, Select "as single Zip file"
- In the Destination, enter or browse for a file name
- Click on Finish, and you are done.
Downloads for the lazy
- latest build: 2004-09-23 off CVS.
I tested that build with Eclipse 3.0.1 and it worked perfectly
(I just had to comment one weird line of code in org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse.model.AddErrorMarker.java line 81 which just was : unit. ???, but then everything went fine) -pombredanne pombredanne
- Download at : http://sf.net/projects/nexb
Install and Test
The zip file you just created (or downloaded) is now just like any other plug-in zip file, that can be unzipped under the eclipse root directory.
To install and test the plug-in:
- Open the zip file and extract its content to the eclipse root directory.
You can check that two folders have been created under eclipse/plugin:
org.codehaus.groovy.eclipse_1.0.0 and org.codehaus.groovy_1.0.0
- Restart Eclipse to install the Groovy plug-in
- For quick test of the plug-in:
- Create a new Java project, right mouse-click on the src folder, and select New/Other/Groovy/Groovy Class
- Create a new Groovy class called GTest,
- or alternatively create a new plain file and give it the name of the class you want to create plus the .groovy extension
- When prompted "Add runtime groovy support and auto-build to project?" , click Yes! (You may be prompted that question twice... always say Yes!)
- You can paste the following snippet into the GTest.groovy editor:
- In the Project Explorer, select GTest.groovy, then right mouse-click and Run/Run
- In the Run pop-up, select Groovy in the list of configurations, then click New, and click the Search button to search for the Main Class.
The GTest class should appear in the list of Groovy classes to run. Select it and click OK.
- Click Apply, then Run... check your console view, it should read Rod, Phil...
Eclipse Version compatibility
The plug-in has been reported to work with:
- Eclipse 3.0
- Eclipse 3.0.1
- Eclipse 3.1 M1 (except that only libraries seem to be supported as classpath entries, not other projects or java code in the same project's source folder)

Bears are out; know the do's, don'ts
Kate Hendrixson / Western Wildlife Outreach
Bears can be attracted to smells from an unclean barbecue grill, just like this black bear in Issaquah Highlands last year.
Jerry Weatherhogg / For The Herald
A black bear crosses a log bridge over the Carbon River on the Wonderland Trail in Mount Rainier.
Spring is here and Washington's black bears are waking up hungry. And sows often have cubs in tow.
It's best to keep a lot of distance between yourself and a bear. But hikers, backpackers and others using the woods may find themselves suddenly too close.
"If a close encounter occurs, stand tall, make noise, and back away slowly," advises Lorna Smith, executive director of Port Townsend-based Western Wildlife Outreach.
Bear spray should be carried where it can be easily reached and you need to be prepared to use it, she said.
Not only are bears a danger in the forest, their need to feed draws them closer to neighborhoods where the pickings are easy.
A bear's sense of smell may lead it to hone in on human-provided food. Follow these tips to preventing bear problems at home:
Garbage: Store garbage and animal feed inside buildings or in bear-resistant containers. Keep your garbage secured until the morning of your scheduled pickup. Encourage neighbors to do the same.
Gardens and compost: Plant gardens out in the open, away from cover. Avoid composting meat and turn your compost over frequently. Finely chopped fruit and vegetable matter will decompose faster and is less likely to attract bears. A quality electric fence used properly can keep bears out of gardens and compost piles, and away from buildings and domestic animals.
Livestock and beehives: Domestic animals, including chickens, may attract bears. Secure your livestock behind electric fences.
Bird feeders: Bears love to eat birdseed and suet. Take down bird feeders from April through October. Clean up dropped seeds and hulls.
Barbecues: Regularly clean barbecue grills, especially the grease trap, after each use.
Pets: Feed pets indoors or pick up excess and spilled food between meals and clean all pet dishes
Freezers: Keep freezers locked in a secure building or otherwise out of reach of bears.
A new Washington State Law prohibits the feeding of carnivores, including bears, either intentionally or negligently. Involved parties may be subject to a $1.000 fine.
Bears that become habituated to humans and the food they provide are labeled as "problem bears" and could need to be destroyed.

You show me where this is defined somewhere in a dictionary and I will happily work within that definition.
To me, rare = your definition of unicorn. A rare car is a rare car. Hard/impossible to find, not likely to see another one.
I was at that car show with the XJ220. The owner opened the door for me. I smelled the leather, touched the door panel, and as a car geek, it was quite an experience...one I will never forget, as I am not likely to even SEE an XJ220 in person again.
It's a RARE car. Unicorn? Not to me.

Importing Maven projects in Eclipse
Editing Maven projects in Eclipse
See Maven Eclipse Intregration
Building Eclipse plugins in Maven
Instructions targeting Eclipse 3.2, which uses OSGi bundles as plugin format.
The important files to have into account:
- META-INF/MANIFEST.MF the OSGi manifest
- plugin.properties plugin config
- plugin.xml plugin config
- build.properties binaries and sources definition to build with PDE
- */.jar dependent libraries, need to be in the source folder for building with PDE. They are packaged in the same folder in the zip. eg. if jars are in x/y they end in x/y folder of the jar, PDE doesn't allow changing it.
Currently there are two integration points that overlap:
- Maven Eclipse Plugin generate manifest and enable PDE nature
- Apache Felix OSGi plugin can create an OSGi bundle, packaging dependencies, generating manifest,...
- It doesn't set Require-Bundle in the manifest, it uses Import-Packages
- Need a way to package some of the plugins as folders and not jars
An OSGi bundle can be easily created with the Felix OSGi plugin. Integration between Maven and PDE is other story.
- manifest needs to be in ${basedir}/META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
- jars need to be somewhere in ${basedir}
- other plugin dependencies must be either opened in eclipse or installed in the workspace
This is a configuration that works

This is now solved with the enforcer: http://maven.apache.org/enforcer/enforcer-rules/requireProperty.html
currently, Maven does not require declaration of properties used in the pom, you just use them anywhere you like. Usually, if a property is missing, bad things tend to happen because it is replaced with the string "null". On a good day, resources from "translations-null-null" aren't included in the build, on bad days it's worse... And when you find the missing property in a pom you haven't written, you have to figure out what "${lopt}" means and what its legal values are...
So instead typing
<properties> <lopt>en_US</lopt> </properties>
this proposal wants you to write
<properties> <property> <name>lopt</name> <defaultValue>en_US</defaultValue> <required>true</required> <description>Locale to use</description> <options> <option> <value>de_DE</value> <description>Use German locale</description> </option> </options> </property> </properties>
Of course, Maven should display an error if a required variable is missing. And it would be nice to have "help:describe-properties"...

Barton Sweeps DH from Falcons 5-4, 3-1 as Baseball Begins Conference Play
February 14, 2010
MISENHEIMER, N.C. In the opening weekend of Conference Carolinas baseball, Barton College came out on Sunday using timely hitting in game one and an outstanding pitching performance from Hunter Meekins (Manteo, NC) in game two as the Bulldogs swept a doubleheader from Pfeiffer University at Joe Ferebee Field. Barton picked up 5-4 and 3-1 victories improving both their overall and conference record to 2-0 on Sunday afternoon. Pfeiffer drops down to 2-5 overall, 0-2 in league play.
GAME ONE: Barton 5, Pfeiffer 4
A scoreless ball game through the first two and a half innings changed in the home half of the third as Pfeiffer struck first for a 2-0 lead. After an infield single to third and swiping of second by Carlos Badillo (Gurabo, PR), senior Josh Strickland (Liberty, NC) came up with a two-out blast to left putting the Falcons up a pair.
Barton responded in their next at-bat tying the game at two through four. After Ryan Daughtry (Princeton, NC) drew a lead-off walk and moved to third on Aaron Watkins (Newport News, VA) double to center, both Bulldogs would come around on a Chris Rawlings (Charlotte, NC) single to center quickly knotting the contest up at two.
In the fifth, the visitors would put a three-spot on the board jumping out to a 5-2 lead halfway through game one. Lead-off man Ryan McCleney (Chadbourn, NC) started the frame with a solo shot to left before a J.D. McCarty (Colonial Heights, VA) double to right would score Watkins and Sam Pepper (Tabernacle, NJ).
Trailing by three at the stretch, Pfeiffer came back with a pair of runs to make things interesting in the final two innings. The two-out rally began with Badillo and Zack Pous (Stanley, NC) base hits to left. After Strickland loaded the bases with a hit-by-pitch, Preston Lyon (Gastonia, NC) slapped a base hit back up the middle scoring both Badillo and Pou. Bartons reliever Bentley Massey (Wilson, NC) would then get out of the inning without any other damage done, setting the table for Wesley Francis (Blairs, VA) to earn the save.
Francis scored the save for starter Kramer Sneed (Winterville, NC) who went 6.2 innings for his first win of the season. Watkins and Pepper each had a pair of hits to lead the Bulldogs offensively. For the Falcons, Pou, Strickland and Badillo each had a couple of hits in the loss.
GAME TWO: Barton 3, Pfeiffer 1 (7 innings)
Barton jumped on the board in the top of the second scoring an unearned run as Pepper came into score on McCartys groundout to second by reaching on an error and later stealing third. Solo runs in the fourth and fifth put the visitors up three as McCleney and Rawlings each put up RBI singles as time began to run out for the Falcons.
Pfeiffer had all sorts of trouble trying to manage a productive inning against Meekins in the nightcap having a couple of chances, but Meekins would use one of his 12 strikeouts in the game to get out of any jam.
The Falcons did have their best chance in the sixth as Strickland drove in Badillo with another double to left to make it 3-1, with runners later in the inning at the corners and one out. Meekins then retired Will Davis (New London, NC) on strikes and caught the pop up off the bat of Aarin Sharpe (Wintervile, NC) to end the threat.
Meekins registered his final pair of strikeouts in a three up, three down bottom of the seventh earning the complete game win. Meekins went the distance allowing just the one run on five hits, with 12 strikeouts, tossing 94 pitches. Offensively, Francis and Wesley paced Barton with two hits apiece.
Both teams will attempt to square off on Monday, weather pending, in the finale of the opening weekend three-game set. First pitch is slated for 2:00 p.m. at Joe Ferebee Field.

Neotropical migrants can be flashy things — think scarlet tanager, Baltimore oriole, rose-breasted grosbeak or those tiny butterflies of the bird world like American redstart, blackburnian warbler, hooded warbler and northern parula, just to name a few. And often when we strike out in search of these colorful creatures we go to places like the Blue Ridge Parkway, where it is open and there is good light so we can see the amazing color. But sometimes beige is cool.

COVINGTON, La. -- Ethan Carroll is a lover of animals. That's why the 12-year-old made it his Lenten mission to help all of them at the St. Tammany Humane Society.
'A couple of years ago, I had to give up a dog and we kind of wanted to make sure she had proper care and everything so we started donating here for Lent,' Ethan said.
The effort has spread from the dad-son duo providing money and supplies alone to dozens in the community pitching in to Ethan's Lent Project through his Facebook page.
'It's taught him that it's more about what you do, instead of what you give up. Giving up is something that everybody else does because they feel like they have to. He felt like if he did something like this, it actually gave it more purpose,' said Tim Carroll, Ethan's dad.
The response over the past four years has been a blessing for the shelter.
'It's a great example to his classmates and everyone else around him,' said St. Tammany Humane Society Executive Director Vicky Kreeger, 'It's really good that he's coming together and bringing so many people to us and the awareness.'
And now Ethan wants you to consider giving to the project this Lent, instead of giving up something else.
'Anything that you think a shelter would need, food supplies, toys, rags, cleaning supplies, gloves, anything of that nature would help,' said Tim Carroll.
'It makes me feel like they're really happy that they have someone to help,' said Ethan.
The family will be collecting donations until Easter. To find out how to become part of Ethan's Lent Project, click here.

Just like last year and the year before that, the 39th annual Western States Endurance Run this weekend is stacked with a talented field of ultrarunners from across the globe — as well as one notable local contender.
"Yeah, again it looks like the men's and women's fields are outstanding," said Western States President John Trent, who will attempt to notch his 10th finish in the 100-mile foot race from Squaw Valley to Auburn when it kicks off Saturday at 5 a.m. "I'd say it's similar to last year. The biggest difference is Kilian Jornet is not competing now."
Jornet, a 24-year-old trail-running phenom from Spain, won last year's run in a time of 15 hours and 34 minutes — about 27 minutes shy of the record set by Geoff Roes in 2010. But Jornet pulled out of the race after his climbing partner and friend, world champion ski mountaineer Stephane Brosse, fell to his death in front of Jornet on a traverse of the Mont Blanc Massif in France last Sunday, according to multiple news sources.
"Kilian is going to stay in Europe with his friend's family, so he withdrew," Trent said somberly. "Not having your defending champion does take a little bit of luster away, but there are still a bunch of really talented runners."
One such runner is Rory Bosio of Truckee, who's slated to compete in her third straight Western States Endurance Run after finishing fourth among women in 2010 and fifth last year. She was one of seven women to finish in less than 19 hours last year, recording a time of 18:37.
"She's a runner who I think really needs to start receiving her due credit," Trent said. "Both times she's run it she's been in the top five, and it seems like she's poised to make that big breakthrough where she's in the top two or three. I think she's probably ready for something like that. She's a heck of a runner."
Bosio, who could not be reached for comment, will have her work cut out for her. Defending champ Ellie Greenwood of Canada returns as the favorite on the women's side, said Trent, while 2010 women's runner-up Kami Semick from Oregon and third-place finisher Nikki Kimball from Montana also return. Kimball is a three-time Western States champ.
The men's field is even more stacked.
"There are a bunch of guys who, if they have a good day, could win. That's how deep the field is," Trent said. "If you wanted to list every possible runner with a chance of winning, you'd probably go 15 deep."
Without Jornet in the mix, top male contenders include 2010 runner-up Mike Wolfe of Montana, adventure racer Ryan Sandes of South Africa, Jez Bragg of England, Tsuyoshi Kaburaki of Japan, and Dave Mackey from Novato, Calif., among others.
Trent likes Sandes' chances. "He's a guy I think people should keep an eye on," he said.
Each and every one of the 400 or so registered athletes lucked out in regards to the weather. In contrast to the often sweltering heat that rudely greets runners in the lower-elavation canyons between Squaw and Auburn, the National Weather Service forecasts a high temperate of 52 degrees in Olympic Valley on Saturday, with a low of 36 Saturday night. Auburn will reach a high of 72 on Saturday and a low of 50 that night, according to the weather report.
"I don't know how we did it. Whoever talked to the weather Gods, we need to make sure the check is in the mail," Trent said. "It's supposed to be the coolest it's been since 2005. It should be perfect running — no snow, low temperatures. Even though the course might be a little slower, the cooler temperatures mean a lot of people will finish in under 24 hours."
In addition to the mild temperatures, the Western States trail is virtually snow-free, Trent said. Last year, the course had to be altered significantly due to high snowpack in the backcountry, which made for tricky running. The race will return to its original course this year.
"I went and ran the first 30 miles last weekend, and by the time we run on Saturday, there's a good chance that people won't touch snow at all," Trent said. "There were a couple of drifts at about the 10-mile mark, and they could be gone. So that's not going to be an issue at all, which is great for us, because now for the first time since 2009 we get to use the original course."

part ofRio Grande National Forest, US Forest Service
Status: Open through Mon Nov 23 2015 Season Dates
OverviewCarnero Guard Station is situated in a high open meadow surrounded by forest at an elevation of 9,840 feet. The high-elevation cabin is located in the north-central area of the San Luis Valley in the Rio Grande National Forest.
The guard station was first proposed in 1907 by the Cochetopa National Forest, and was originally named the John Smith Ranger Station after a homesteader who built a cabin near the site, but never filed on the land. Construction on the cabin began in 1908 and the name was changed to the Carnero Guard Station in 1916.
Natural Features:
Volcanic rock outcroppings dot the forested hillsides and wide pastures near the cabin. The La Garita Wilderness is located approximately 20 miles west of the guard station and features about 35 miles of the Continental Divide well above the timberline.
The cabin is a good base camp for hunting, and fishing, which is available at several creeks within a short drive. The area also offers many opportunities for hiking and off-road vehicle adventures in summer, and cross country skiing and snowmobiling in the winter.
The two-room cabin is furnished with four bunk beds (the top bunk is a single bed, the bottom is a fold-out futon couch that sleeps two) and can accommodate up to 12 people. The cabin has a stove, refrigerator, heater and lighting, all powered with propane. The kitchen is equipped with a table and chairs, cooking utensils and some pots and pans. A picnic table, fire pit and an outdoor vault toilet are also on site. There is no electricity at the cabin, however water is available by an outside hand pump. Water is also available at the Saguache Field Office/Ranger District year round.
Nearby Attractions:
Guests at Carnero Guard Station are a short drive from Penitente Canyon, which has become a great draw for rock climbing.

"When it was clear that my mother would pass, I began to make arrangements online as therapy, and came across your site. We obviously could have purchased an urn from one of the many providers on the internet, but your one-of-a-kind designs were exceptional. Although we expected to receive beautiful urns, which we did, we didn't expect the excellent customer service, compassion and genuine, personalized concern you expressed during a very, very difficult time. Your company and more importantly, YOU Michelle were the best. Our gratitude can never be adequately expressed in words. As we come upon the one year anniversary of my mother's transition, we are inspired daily and reminded of her remarkable life whenever we look at the urn. Again, thank you. I recommend your service without any reservation."
-- Ingrid-Joy Warrick, Scottsdale, AZ
A cremation keepsakes are smaller-size cremation urns that can be filled with a portion of the ashes, a lock of hair, or other memorabilia and given to family and friends so everyone can honor the life and share the memory. Typically, the cremated remains of an average-sized adult will occupy around 180 cubic inches of space (and weighs four or five pounds). Cremation keepsakes are sized to hold some fraction of the total volume. They come in various sizes, from those that hold a few pinches of ashes to those that will hold nearly all the ashes. Many families choose to purchase a large-sized urn as the primary urn, and also one or more smaller keepsake urns for friends and family.
As everyone knows not all companions are human. Everyone knows the pain and loss from the passing of a furry friend. If you are in need of a memorial product for a family pet please see our website for pet urns.

ATHENS, Ohio--Despite a strong first-half effort, the Miami University men's basketball team was not able hold off Ohio University on Saturday afternoon at the Convocation Center, falling 82-75 to the Bobcats.
Miami (9-12; 5-5 Mid-American Conference) led by as many as 18 points in the first half, but a 50-point second half from Ohio (17-6; 7-3 MAC) was too much for the RedHawks to withstand.
Senior forwards Bill Edwards and Will Felder paced the Red and White with 19 points apiece, while Felder led all players with nine rebounds. Freshman guard Jaryd Eustace chipped in a career-high 14 points, hitting four 3-pointers in the opening half for the RedHawks.
Miami used an early 6-0 flurry to take an 8-3 lead by the 16:16 mark. Holding a four-point advantage, Miami used a pair of free throws from sophomore guard Geovonie McKnight and back-to-back triples from Eustace and Edwards to extend its lead to 12 with 10:15 to go, 23-11. A Eustace 3-pointer pushed the Miami advantage to 15 points, 30-15, but the Bobcats closed the gap to 10 with 5:56 to play, 32-22.
Off a balanced scoring effort capped by a Eustace trey with 2:00 to play, Miami used a 10-3 surge to charge out to an 18-point lead. After some back and forth baskets, Miami carried a 47-32 lead into the half.
The Bobcats came out and scored six of the first eight points of the second half. Edwards knocked down a 3-pointer and sophomore guard Willie Moore added a layup to give Miami a 16-point advantage with 15:16 to play, 54-38.

OverviewTwin Lakes Campground is located in the eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains near the town of Mammoth Lakes, California. It offers lakeside camping with breathtaking scenery and many outdoor activities. The lake is a great base for fishing, boating, viewing waterfalls and hiking, and offers close proximity to the town's amenities.
Natural Features:
The campground is forested with lodgepole pine, providing partial shade and a private setting. It sits at an elevation of 8,600 feet at the base of snow-capped, 11,059' Mammoth Mountain, a popular skiing destination. A cascading waterfall flows into one of the lakes.
The eastern Sierras are known for great trout fishing, and the 108-acre lakes are a prime location for it. Anglers can cast for rainbow, brook and brown trout while watching a waterfall tumble into the lake. The calm waters are also inviting for canoes and kayaks. Power boats must have electric motors.
This is a large facility with campsites split into two sections on either side of Twin Lakes. Sections 1 and 2 are on the west side, closer to the shore. Section 3 is set upon a hill. Picnic tables, campfire rings, flush toilets and drinking water are provided.

In the wake of the Great Recession, many Americans don't feel economically mobile as they face rising healthcare expenses, high energy prices, swelling college education costs, and slow wage growth. A recent Gallup survey confirmed that income inequality is not ranked high on the minds of Americans—dissatisfaction with the federal government, the state of the economy, joblessness and growing healthcare costs are. Relative economic mobility remains the key driver of individual prosperity, and economic growth ensures that everyone is better off in absolute terms over time.
A three-part series of Joint Economic Committee Republican Staff Commentaries delved into the issue of economic inequality and mobility: (1) identifying the common sources and misconceptions of inequality and noting how inequality has changed over time; (2) examining inequality in the context of economic mobility; and (3) exploring factors driving economic well-being and mobility and evaluating the effectiveness of various policies aimed at addressing economic inequality.
This commentary recaps and updates the previous series and highlights some facts about economic mobility for future and recommends the pursuit of policies that broaden opportunity for more Americans, encourage job growth to foster economic growth, and remove obstacles that many Americans face in equality of opportunity.

Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
Good for when I need to occasionally run a short section of road on my mtn bike getting from trail to trail. I also leave it flashing during hunting season when I'm out in the woods.
As inexpensive lights go, this works well and is simple to operate. Off-on-blinking modes are straightforward. Mounting hardware has proven to be entirely reliable. It gets drenched and still works.
Looking at the projected beam pattern in a dark room, there is one bright "hot spot" in the center, with rapid fall-off in intensity toward the sides.
My friends and I compared it to a few other tail lights on a deserted section of road in broad daylight. We felt some of the lights would be the most visible thing in a driver's field of view during the day and would be immediately noticed even at a great distance. This one is not in that league. Nonetheless, we all agreed that a driver would be more likely to see you with one of these during the day.
At night, it is plainly and obviously visible. No problem.
No regrets, I'm happy with it.

Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
At it's core, a blinky light needs to be three things: bright, simple and reliable. The Planet Bike BRT-3 satisfies all three requirements easily. I bought one, loved it, lost it and bought two more Bright? My night riding buddies complain about it being too bright. Simple? On (solid)-On-(blinking)-Off. None of those fancy/silly special blinking patterns to have to cycle through trying to find 'Off'. Reliable? It always works! It also never jumps off the mount that it comes with, and I have taken mine on dozens of off-road night rides. My Planet Bike blinky has also seen thousands of commuter miles without issue. I've owned dozens of other blinky lights in my day, this is my favorite. Oh, it's only [$]bucks, too.
Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
Still can't believe the price. The light is very bright and annoying, just what you need when riding at night. At this price i;ll be buying another one too REALLY stand out on the darl suburban roads i commute on. Quick release it right into my bookbag before getting on the train.
Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
Overall this is a very good product for street and light trail use. If using on rougher terrain I would suggest using strong rubberbands to keep the light from making a quick getaway when you least expect it.
Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
Bright and Cheap. What more could you ask for? It helps you to be seen on the road home. Long battery life is a plus. It was accidentally left on for a few days in a bag and still works great.
Comments about Planet Bike BRT-3 Tail Light:
This product exceeded my expectations as far as brightness and battery life. Although I bought this on sale, I would purchase it at full price.

St. Andrews Converts 43 Free Throws in 136-126 Overtime Win over Men's Basketball
January 18, 2011
LAURINBURG, N.C. St. Andrews Presbyterian College converted 43 free throws out of 54 chances to grab a 136-126 overtime win over Pfeiffer University in Conference Carolinas mens basketball on Tuesday night. The Knights win their third-straight contest, second-straight in extra basketball, improving to 7-7 overall, 4-3 in league play. Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) scored a game high 37 points as the Falcons shot just 53% from the charity stripe falling to 6-8, 4-3.
In the overtime, St. Andrews took over at the 3:47 mark with a triple from Ross Williams (Washington, DC) and three-point play by Ryan Streater (Charlotte, NC). Pfeiffer never saw the lead in the extra session from that point on. Woods and Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) both fouled out in the overtime period at the 3:28 and 2:41 marks.
In the second half, Pfeiffer took its largest lead of the night with 11:48 remaining on back-to-back put-backs by Woods and Shank Ranganathan (Sugarland, TX). A free throw by Williams tied the contest at 95-95 with just under four minutes left as St. Andrews carried the lead down to the final seconds. With the clock at 2.8 seconds, Pettiway would drain a fade-away three to tie the score at 110. A last ditch effort for the Knights fell short at the buzzer.
Pfeiffer trailed early on in the first half until a Davon Gilliard (Charleston, SC) three-point play tied the contest at 8-8 with four and a half minutes gone by. Both teams went back and forth as Woods helped put the Falcons up twice in a 35 seconds span with back-to-back buckets in the paint.
Down again by a pair, Pfeiffer came back to take the lead again on a triple by Josh Humphrey (Matthews, NC) with 8:42 remaining before the break. The two teams combined for 11 lead changes in the first half. As time ticked down, Woods put in four more of his 14 first-half points while Reggie Hollinger hit his only free throw of the half for a 46-45 Falcon lead at the intermission.
Behind Woods, Pettiway finished with 23 points followed closely by Reggie Hollingers (Orlando, FL) 22. For the Knights, Aaron Christian (New Bedford, MA) led the way with 29 points.
The Falcons will now take three days off before heading to Belmont Abbey on Saturday night. Tip time with the Crusaders in set for 7:30 p.m.

GSA emails: Initial response to lavish spending 'not even a slap on the wrist'
Friday - 4/13/2012, 2:55pm EDT
Internal emails from the General Services Administration show high-level agency officials were aware of a spending problem months before the scandal burst into public view.
And as early as last summer, officials disagreed over how to reprimand the employees responsible for excessive spending at a 2010 regional training conference.
Draft letter cites 'managerial lapse'
In a draft letter, obtained by the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, Public Buildings Service Commissioner Bob Peck wrote to Jeff Neely, the regional administrator who planned the conference, to discuss an inspector general's report into conference spending.
"I attended part of the conference and found the general sessions to be creative and professional presentations on important issues that we deal with in the Public Buildings [Service]," Peck wrote. The conference "appears to have been an effective means of informing the attendees about PBS programs and policies and of facilitating an exchange of best business practices," he added.
The final IG report on GSA's 2010 Western Regions Conference found the agency spent more than $822,000 on the conference, including thousands of dollars for a clown, a mind-reader and a bicycle-building training exercise. The report also found planners had disregarded procurement laws in awarding contracts for the conference.
"Given that you had executive oversight of this WRC's planning and execution, you could and should have exercised better judgment concerning these expenditures," Peck wrote, adding that it "appears to reflect a managerial lapse which I expect will not be repeated."
The oversight committee said Peck's letter was a draft version and it's not clear if it was actually sent to Neely.
'Not even a slap on the wrist'
However, in response to Peck's draft letter, Deputy Administrator Susan Brita sent an email to Peck, his deputy David Foley and adviser Stephen Leeds, in which she appeared to push for stronger disciplinary action against Neely.
"I think the letter to Jeff should be crafted with a WAPO mind frame," Brita wrote, referencing The Washington Post.
The July 2011 email was also obtained by the House oversight committee.
"If this story of GSA (federal workers) spending 'almost a million dollars' (and I have no doubt that is how the Post would report the event) at a time of high unemployment, and down economy were to hit the press what would public reaction [be], what would congressional reaction be, and how would the agency respond (especially the political leadership)," Brita wrote in the email, which was obtained by the House oversight committee.
As a "seasoned" federal executive, Neely was "expected to display the highest standards of common sense, and prudent financial management," she wrote. "He did neither. Sorry, but your letter is not even a slap on the wrist."
Brita, who requested the IG investigation into the conference, also took issue with Peck's contention that the conference was mostly substantive in nature.
"Expenses for a clown suit, bikes, tuxedos, and [a] mind reader don't really lend themselves to a claim of a substantive conference," she wrote.
Both Peck and Leeds were fired by GSA Administrator Martha Johnson earlier this month, before Johnson submitted her own resignation.
Foley and Neely have been placed on administrative leave.
The House Transportation and Infrastructure and the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee will hold hearings next week looking into the agency's spending.

I wore these sandals to MN boundary waters and worked like a charm. I did get a little blister from the rubbing but if I wore them a little more often this wouldn't have happened. I do a lot of canoeing and this is the best invention for it. I highly recommend this shoe. A little heavier then the H2 but more durable in my opinion.
About 8 years ago, I took a group of guys from Florida out to Moab Ut to go hiking. We flew into Vegas and drove about 8 hrs and camped. The next morning I went to get my gear, and my friends who were in charge of gathering the gear at the airport had forgot mine! I had to buy all new stuff. I went the the local outdoor store and the guy convinced me that the Keen Newport could handle my needs. Boy was he right, we went into Arches NP and these sandals worked better than my hiking boots, no slipping, comfy, versatile, and they last !! I have hiked all over the country in these, and they remain my go to hiking shoes for most days. I have now owned more than 8 pair of keens, and some of my friends have made the switch. Oh and by the way, I white water raft in them also. Moosejaw had the best price on the web, thanks for a smooth transaction.
I have worn these sandals the past two summers and they are as comfortable as the day I bought them. The rubber toe has protected my feet countless times. You can also wash the sandals in the washer. I then apply mink oil to preserve the leather every so often. After applying the mink oil, they also look new again. After having these sandals work so well, I will definitely buy the Keen brand again, whenever my current pair needs replaced. Though, I don't think that will be any time soon!
Don't get this if you want a stereotype Keen sandal for water sports, as the leather sandal (though water resistant) takes quite a long time to dry out. I wore it a few times while kayaking, and it took several hours to completely dry out. Though, it wasn't uncomfortable to walk around when wet, so I guess that's not a big complaint. I like it a lot for short hikes, and it's nice all all kinds of terrain. If you plan on longer hikes then it's best worn with socks. If you plan on a backpacking trip, then I'd suggest wearing a more typical hiking boot, but pack these for those nice nights by the fire.
These traditional keens are what I am going to call a hybrid scandal, because they have a closed toe. In a way, they have the best of both worlds. The thick rubber "toe guard" keeps you from stubbing and breaking your toes while hiking, but the open design of the straps allow for good ventilation and also make these an ideal water shoe. There are only a couple issues worth mentioning: first, because of the semi-closed design, it is hard to remove gravel. if you're walking through small rocks and grit, you may have to take them off to clean them out. Also, they aren't incredibly lightweight. Overall, they are really unique and awesome.
Sandel comes a little small and started to come apart on the stitching underneath the leather. Doesn't have any odor which is great. I like it overall.
At first I thought they looked 'dorky' with the big rubber bit around the front but they seemed so comfortable I gave them a try. Great shoe to wear anywhere! I've frequently worn them mtn biking and hiking, literally covered them with mud while carrying my bike over obstacles, washed them in a river, sun dried then worn them out to dinner without evidence of the mess. And no stinkyness! 4 years and they've worn level. Finally bought a new pair.
These things are awesome. I had a pair that I wore nonstop for a year. Then I bought a pair the replace them. I'm still wearing the 1st pair after 3 years. They are kind of falling apart, but nothing a little super glue doesn't fix. As a main pair of shoes nonstop for 3 years these are AMAZING. By nonstop I mean everything from thru hiking to go to the bar to weddings. I've lost hope on even trying to ever love another pair of shoes as much as I love these.
I bought these for trekking the La Ciudad Perdida trek in Colombia. I'm due to leave for this in a couple of weeks but I already feel I may have been better off with the h2's for the water crossings. While the leather looks much better than the nylon webbing of the H2's, the foot bed doesn't dry as quickly as my friends H2's which when continuing hiking can be a bit uncomfortable. They are great for cooler footwear in warm climates and I love the toe protection on rougher trails.These are never going to win style contests, but for a sandal, the leather makes them look much better than some other brands and better than the H2's.

It did not take a full day of touring the University of Tennessee campus and football facilities for Havelock defensive lineman Kendal Vickers to know where he wants to play college football.
Vickers, a 6-foot-3, 240-pounder, who previously committed to South Carolina, took a tour of Tennessee Friday guided by Volunteers' coaches and made the decision to pledge to Tennessee.
Vickers and his family made the eight-hour drive to Knoxville for the visit before heading to Tallahassee, Fla. to visit other family members.
"It has been crazy. Seeing the facilities here and the stadium and everything, I love it," Vickers said. "Their brand new weight room really caught my eye and the indoor practice facilities are so nice, as well as the coaches being genuine guys. It is the place for me."
Vickers had initially pledged to attend South Carolina, but the Gamecocks planned to send the lineman to a junior college before bringing him to the campus. With Tennessee, Vickers will arrive on the Knoxville, Tenn., campus on July 8.
Vickers said that during his tour of Neyland Stadium, he went everywhere, including the press box and even the roof over the press box.
That is where Vickers said he made the decision to commit to new Tennessee head coach Butch Jones.
"I told Coach Jones that I wanted to be a Vol, and he just gave me a big ole' hug," Vickers said.
Vickers played both the offensive and defensive line during last season's 3A state championship campaign.
Vickers said he feels he brings that pedigree of winning, along with strength and athleticism coming off the defensive end.
"They (coaches) want me to be a pass-rushing defensive end, and that is what I have always wanted to be," Vickers said. "They are committed to winning and I want to do my part to help Tennessee get back to an SEC championship."
Vickers, who was not a full-time starter on defense, recorded 29 tackles and 6.5 sacks for the Rams in his senior season.
Vickers said that he is most thrilled to know he will be competing against former Havelock teammate and future South Carolina Gamecock Pharoh Cooper for the next four years.
"Competing in the SEC is what I always wanted to do," he said. "I love to compete and the competition here is the best.
"Coach Jones told me they are running a 4-3 defense and he sees me playing end and being a great pass rusher. Competing against Pharoh (Cooper) is just going to be so much fun and wherever Derrell (Scott) goes, either compete with or against him, too."
Vickers said he is looking into majoring in broadcast journalism.
