SDSU football struggled to draw crowds despite success

2009: 17,622 / 4-8
2010: 22,717 / 8-4
Note: Turnstile counts measure actual bodies passing through stadium gates. SDSU's announced attendance average of 31,814 this year is an unscientific figure including tickets distributed but not necessarily purchased or used.

San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl
Despite its first winning season since 1998, the San Diego State football program still had trouble convincing the ticket-buying public to attend games, according to turnstile counts and ticket revenue figures obtained this week by The San Diego Union-Tribune.
SDSU's average turnstile count for six home games in 2010 was 22,717, which was better than the previous three seasons' average of 17,611. But it was nearly the same as in 2006, when SDSU finished 3-9 and drew 21,670 per game. In 2004 and 2005, SDSU had losing seasons but still drew average turnstile crowds of 28,336 and 25,351.
SDSU's first bowl-bound team since '98 also drew just 13,715 fans -- including just 687 SDSU students -- to its final regular season game last week against UNLV, according to the turnstiles, which measure bodies passing through the stadium gates. That was SDSU's eighth-smallest crowd out of 41 home games since 2004.
Turnstile counts differ from SDSU's announced attendance, which has been an unscientific number that includes tickets distributed but not necessarily purchased or used. SDSU's announced attendance average in 2010 was 31,814, 40 percent more than the actual turnstile attendance.
San Diego State Athletic Director Jim Sterk wasn't available for comment on the numbers this week, but previously he has said that he expected it may take a while to get more fans to buy in.
"We have a decade of losing seasons, so people are kind of wait-and-see," Sterk said before the season.
SDSU's football ticket revenue for 2010 was $1.546 million, up from 2008 and 2009, but lower than 2007, when SDSU football finished 4-8 and brought in $1.89 million. It's also in the ballpark of what SDSU will make in one paycheck next year for playing a road game at Michigan ($1,016,800).
The revenue numbers illustrate a dilemma for SDSU. The Aztecs drew more fans this year than 2007 (17,868 average) but less revenue, reflecting that cheaper tickets may attract more fans to games but don't always pay off with the bottom line.
The attendance numbers also show the challenges of balancing the schedule. Weak opponents such as Nicholls State may increase SDSU's chances of padding the victory count but don't do much at the box office. The Nicholls State game -- a 47-0 win for SDSU -- drew just 16,763 for the season opener.

Discovery Center on the road with new outreach van
Staff Report
Discovery Center Museum Executive Director Sarah Wolf recently announced that the "Discovery Center Museum has been awarded a grant of $5,000 by the Community Needs Fund of the Community Foundation of Northern Illinois."
According to Wolf, the grant is being used to purchase a new van to use for outreach programming.
"The demand for our outreach programs has increased significantly, and we've gone from serving 14,000 people in 2001 to an average of 38,000 people each of the last three years," Wolf said. "The organizations we serve, primarily schools, libraries, daycare facilities and camps, have a need for the high-quality, cost-effective educational programs we provide, and our old van was becoming increasingly unreliable."
In recent years, the media have reported how American school children are falling behind those in many other countries in the subject areas of science and math. This has led to an emphasis on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) education at the national level. Improving and reinforcing STEM education is one of the reasons Discovery Center was established 30 years ago. The need for fun, hands-on science education, especially through outreach programs, continues even more so today.
Discovery Center offers an array of outreach programs about a variety of topics. Some programs are designed for specific ages, while others are created to be adaptable to different age groups.
These outreach programs use a fun approach to reinforce what students learn in the classroom. And they are affordable for the groups scheduling them. Transportation costs, especially buses for field trips, makes outreach programs a popular choice for organizations that want to provide added educational experiences for the children they serve.
Outreach programs offered in places many children and families already go, like libraries and county fairs, are also more affordable for families, especially for low-income families and those living in rural areas. The price of gas makes travel to Discovery Center in Rockford more of a consideration for these groups.
With the educational and economic need for Discovery Center outreach programs, it is no surprise the demand for the museum's outreach services has continued to increase over the course of the past 10 years. Discovery Center anticipates this demand continuing to grow. Thanks to the Community Foundation, Discovery Center can continue to provide outreach programs and educate the region.
The Community Foundation of Northern Illinois is the area's largest provider of grants and scholarships. Its mission is to attract, grow, and preserve an endowment for the needs of the people of northern Illinois.
Discovery Center Museum is a non-profit organization providing hands-on math, science and art experiences for all ages with more than 250 hand-on exhibits, planetarium, special area for children younger than 5, and an outdoor science park. Discovery Center is rated the No. 4 children's museum in the nation by Child magazine.
The museum is inside Riverfront Museum Park, 711 N. Main St., Rockford. General admission is $7 adults, $7 children (ages 2 to 17) and free to museum members and children age 1 and younger.
For more details, call (815) 963-6769 or visit www.discoverycentermuseum.org.

Castroneves Claims Japan Pole
RacingOne Staff
Helio Castroneves began the defense of his 2006 Indy Japan 300 victory on the right foot, claiming pole for Saturday's race with a fast lap of 205.393 mph at Twin Ring Motegi.
Castroneves, who also started from pole last season at the 1.5-mile oval (although the starting lineup in 2006 was based on driver points since qualifying was rained out), took his second consecutive pole position of 2007 and 18th of his IndyCar Series career.
Coming out last in the qualifying session, Dan Wheldon came close overtaking Castroneves, but finished 0.0328 seconds behind with a fast lap of 205.141 mph.
Tony Kanaan, who led two of three practice sessions of the weekend, will start third with Andretti Green Racing teammate Danica Patrick, who led the second practice session of the weekend, and Sam Hornish Jr. rounding out the top five.
Current championship points leader Scott Dixon qualified sixth fastest with Dario Franchitti, Tomas Scheckter, Japanese born Kosuke Matsuura and Marco Andretti completing the top 10 of the 18-car field.
Saturday's Indy Japan 300 at Twin Ring Motegi is scheduled to take the green flag shortly after 12:01 a.m. (ET) Saturday. While IMS Radio and XM Satellite Radio will provide live coverage of the event, ESPN will offer the telecast of the 200 lap event at 3 p.m. (ET) on Saturday afternoon.

Monterey Bay Aquarium Channels Its Way to Kids at Packard Children's
Penguins, fish, sharks and more now on hospital's PackardVisionsystem
Through the popular PackardVision TV system, inpatients and families are now tuning to hospital Channel 44 for a fascinating and revealing look at Monterey Bay ocean life, as presented by the Aquarium through its penguin cam, kelp cam, and Aquarium guides and divers. "This is really exciting," said
The Aquarium and Packard Children's are offering both "live" and taped video 24×7. The highlights of each day's broadcasts are usually around feeding time. That's when kids can watch Aquarium staff feed the penguins on the "penguin cam." Or, see and hear divers feed the fish, sharks and other sea creatures through the Living Kelp Forest Exhibit's "kelp cam." Kids at the hospital can also listen to Aquarium educators discuss these lush and fascinating habitats.
"Our family has enjoyed an enduring and special relationship with both the Monterey Bay Aquarium and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital, so this is a natural collaboration," Aquarium Executive Director
"We're proud to be partnering with one of the world's top destinations," said Dawes, who noted the Aquarium video is a perfect complement to the hospital's aquatic-themed colors and signage. "This new channel offers our families an experience that's both educational and fun, and it's an inspiration to all of us."
Funding for the program was made possible by a gift from

TMI not the problem
Not a day goes by in which the cause of open government isn't set back a step or two.
Memphis Mayor A C Wharton's administration welcomes a new employee as head of the Office of Talent and Human Capital but delays revealing how much he's being paid.
A bill is introduced in the Mississippi Senate that would require elected officials to use their own money to pay fines for illegally closing meetings instead of public funds, and it gets nowhere.
At a time when the Internet should be creating a new era of transparency, the public still struggles to get information it needs to make informed judgments.
So here we are, at the beginning of the annual Sunshine Week observance, wondering where the next battle for information or access will be fought.
Public officials could show whose side they take on this issue by pledging today to make a good-faith effort to satisfy this basic American thirst for knowledge. Don't worry about too much information. It will feel good.

India's Paramount Airways is closing on a deal with Brazilian manufacturer Embraer covering the purchase of 15 large regional jets.
The recently launched carrier's managing director, M Thiagarajan, says a deal is being finalised covering firm orders for eight E-175s and seven larger E-195s.
"We are in the process of signing the purchase agreement for these 15 aircraft," says Thiagarajan, adding that he expects to firm up the deal this month.
Thiagarajan says deliveries will begin this year and continue into 2007, by which time the airline's fleet will have grown to just over 20 aircraft.
Paramount launched services late in October with daily flights between Delhi and both Coimbatore and Kochi. It has since added Coimbatore-Chennai services and this month will launch Bangalore-Chennai services. It currently has two E-170s on lease from the manufacturer and has signed leased deals on three larger E-175s with GE Commercial Aviation Services for delivery in the coming months.
Textile firm Paramount Group established the airline, which was one of several new domestic carriers to have launched in India in 2005. It recently sold minority stakes to two new investors in deals that value the carrier at around $150 million.
Thiagarajan says Paramount's aggressive fleet expansion will enable it to serve more domestic destinations and greatly expand services on existing routes "to at least seven flights per day"

GOA SPICE PLANTATIONS: There is more to Goa than just beaches, A major attraction in the rural side is the spice plantation of Goa. Situated in the region called Ponda (central Goa), the spice plantations in Goa use organic methods of cultivation and farming. The spices that are produced are then cleaned and ground into powder.
The spice plantations of Goa are quite popular as a tourist attraction. On a typical excursion to the spice plantations, you shall begin your day by starting to explore the fields and the farms. It is very astonishing to see men climbing on very tall trees while maintaining a balance and at the same time plucking betel nut fruits from those swaying trees. The spice plantations are managed by people who have comprehensive knowledge and excel in technical know how of farming spices. Some major spices produced in these spice plantations are: * Black pepper * Cardamom * Nutmeg * Vanilla * Cinnamon * Cloves *Chillies * Betel nut * Coriander * Cashew
Born in Switzerland and Married to ' Anna ' originally from Goa ; We use to leave in Egypt Managing 5* Hotels. On our way to Marrakech due to political instability , where we will open a Riad .
Hoffer Jean-Pierre purchased this villa in 1997
We built this house because we fell in love with the location of this property. Idyllic spot on the lagoon. The beach, shops, restaurants and bars are just walking distance from the complex. ' Louisa by the Sea ' is an extremely attractive and peaceful complex . A little paradise.
This lovely house is our second Home ready for us later on to pass our winter month in a beautiful place to chill out and enjoy the beauty of Mother nature. Enjoy daily different Shades of color Unfolding With each morning sunrise .
Large wonderful home next to Sal river that was a short walk to shops and Cavelossim beach. Plenty of restaurants nearby in the town and on the beach. This property was well maintained and clean and had a maid coming in every day to keep everything perfect. Our group of 6 people had a wonderful stay. We would definately recommend this property to others.
We stayed at Anna Bella for almost two weeks in February 2014. The villa is in a great location situated on the banks of the River Sal. It has three excellent sized bedrooms and ample living space downstairs including a large snooker table.
The kitchen is fully equipped if you choose to eat in the villa however there are plenty of restaurants near to Anna Bella.
The property is well maintained and is visited on six days out of seven by a maid who keeps the property very clean.
The beach is just a few minutes walk from the villa if you choose not to use the provided sunbeds in the garden. There are also two swimming pools available on site.
We were extremely pleased with our choice of Anna Bella for our stay in Goa and would certainly recommend the villa to anyone looking for a change from a hotel.
One final word must go to Jean-Pierre, the owner. From our initial enquiry to our return to the UK, we were able to contact all times with an immediate response being usual. We had one slight issue whilst in Goa that was resolved almost immediately and satisfactorily. Jean-Pierre ensured that our stay was comfortable and exceeded our expectations. Thank you.
Jean Pierre, thank you for sharing with us your beautiful villa. The photos simply do not do it enough justice. We had a very lazy and relaxing time with everything taken care of. I would highly recommend staying here and hope we can come back again soon.
We (5 of us ) stayed at the very spacious Annabella Villa and could not wish for a better place to say
the Villa is beautiful inside and out, and fitted to a high standard - fabulous views of the River Sal
Orlandi was the best housekeeper - shops all close by - food shopping , this can all be delivered straight to the villa
The villa is situated 5/10 minutes walking distance from the beach/shops/restaurants - you could choose a different Resturant each night if you wish so many to choose from
try Martin's Corner, River View right next door, Goan Village, Get Down to name but a few, The Beach for being lazy on the beach, plenty to eat and drink and be waited on try the Q Bar
And try the beach parties on a Wednesday a must
For all 5 of us the holiday was a great de- stresser and Annabella played a role in that
I would highly recommend this villa to anyone wishing to visit the South of Goa
We Will Be back !!!!!
Dear Jean Pierre,
Just a note to thank you for the use of your house in Goa, We have just returned after having a fantastic two weeks away in the sunshine. We all found it very relaxing and a perfect base for our holiday. The villa was everything that we could of hoped for and more. The location was perfect as I am a keen bird watcher and also enjoy fishing. I spent many hours just watching the many species of birds coming and going. I also managed to catch quite a few fish from the river. The villa is furnished in typical Goan style with many lovely pieces. After reading the visitors book we did not agree with some peoples comments especially having a television in all of the bedrooms. Just to sit outside and enjoy the view was the best part of the holiday.
Olinda and Jason were a great asset to the holiday as they were always there when we had any minor problems. Olinda kept the place lovely and clean and tidy. We did have a problem with the electrics one day when one of the MCB units burnt out in the fuse box. Jason managed to get an electrician to the house within an hour to sort it all out for us and we were very grateful for that. When we return to Goa in the future we would love to stay at your property again. Many thanks again for the use of your house. The various family photographs and momento's around the house helped to make it all feel very homely.
Your's Thankfully
I recommended using this villa to my friends after having used " Dreams" on a previous stay, we all had a great holiday, including a 4 day trip to Hampi. My friends have come to Goa on 23 consecutive years and for them to rate this as the best yet says it all. The furnishings and lay out of the villa are perfect and should not be changed. We were picked up by our friend Ramakant, by boat right at the villa to go fishing, relaxing on the lawn was so peaceful, a nice walk into the village at night to eat was a ritual, Goan village and Jazz inn the best, Olinda did a great job cleaning and even doing our laundry. I have stayed at the Taj Exotica, Holiday inn and numerous other establishments but in all honesty villa Annabella tops them all, it was just perfect.
This stylish and comfortable villa enjoys a prime Water front position in the well established, popular private villa development - Luisa by the Sea. A few yards from the villa is a large swimming pool available for residents use only and at 10 minutes stroll to the idyllic Cavelossim beach .
In and around Cavelossim there is also a wide selection of restaurants offering plenty of choice for eating out. From locally run ones offering the freshest of today's catch to some of the best hotels in Goa where you will find international standard restaurants and evening entertainment programmes. Don't forget there is always the barbecue at the shack on the beach too.
Goa, the former Portuguese colony for over 400 years is one of the most relaxed places in India. Variously known as 'Rome of the East', 'Tourist Paradise' and 'Pearl of the Orient'.
Golf: DUSHAGAR WATERFALL:
The Dudhsagar waterfalls are located in the Sanguem district of Goa near the Goa-Karnataka border. It is located at a distance of around 60 kilometers from Margao and can be reached easily by hiring a taxi .
Dudhsagar waterfalls of Goa have the distinction of being ranked as the fifth highest waterfall in India and they list in the Top 100 highest waterfalls in the world.
The Dudh Sagar waterfalls have a milky white appearance which is why it is named as Dudhsagar which literally
means 'Ocean of Milk'. The Dudhsagar waterfalls plunge down from a staggering height of 2000 feet. The waterfall is located amongst lush green surroundings of the forests of Western Ghats which is what makes it even more scenic and beautiful.
Many tourists who visit Dudh Sagar prefer swimming in the calm waters. It is quite safe to swim there provided one is careful enough.
The Dudhsagar waterfalls provide a breathtaking view from the top and they look scintillating during the crack of dawn. Those who love adventure and thrill can always try to climb to the head of the waterfalls though the rough path full of rocks, vegetation and water. It may take a couple of hours but it will definitely be worth it! So if you want to spend an entire day in serenity, go to Dudhsagar waterfalls of Goa.
Ski: Goa is famous for its temples that attract numerous devotees from all over the world. Many people tend to think of Goa as a Christian community and are not aware of the famous temples located here. During the Portuguese rule, many Hindu temples were destroyed in a zeal to spread Christianity. But as time passed, the Portuguese allowed the construction of Hindu temples and one of the earliest temples under the Portuguese was built around 1818. The style of construction of Goan temples is also different from other Hindu temples due to a different historical background.
Goa is literally synonymous with churches. They are living testimonies of the rich historical past of Goa. During the early days of the Portuguese rule in India, church building was the primary concern and occupation in Goa. This was because of their zeal to spread Christianity and convert as many people as they can. The Goan churches still have that old world charm and are very popular with the tourists who visit India

'Day Hiking in Adriatica'
Stunning day walks on Croatia's coast; Kotor, Montenegro - Unesco site; Plitvice Lakes: natural wonder; Fairy-tale Dubrovnik; Hvar & Korcula - town tours and area walks
Full Itinerary
Day 1 Arrival in Dubrovnik
Today we arrive in Dubrovnik, Croatia, one of Europe's loveliest and best-preserved mediaeval cities, and transfer to our hotel.
PLEASE NOTE: We rate this tour as "moderate" in terms of its physicality. Though all of our hikes are "day walks" and therefore optional, in order to fully enjoy the areas visited, you should be adequately fit in order to safely and comfortably participate in each day's activities. If you think that this trip might be too strenuous for you, we recommend our non-hiking Adriatic trips. Please note that the hikes on Days 2, 4, 8, 11, & 13 are new as of 2015, and we do not have exact details about distance, elevation change, and duration, though our local contacts assure us that these walks are of an "easy-moderate" level. Once our first 2015 trip runs, we will be able to amend our information.
Overnight in Dubrovnik.
Meal plan: dinner
Day 2 Dubrovnik: City Walls & Konavle Valley
This morning features a walking tour of Dubrovnik's historic center. Dubrovnik has been called "Croatian Athens" and the "Pearl of the Mediterranean" for its astounding beauty, sophisticated history and culture, and prosperity.
Over the course of its tumultuous history, the city had to be extensively reconstructed; the earthquake of 1667 destroyed much of the city; and in recent memory, the town was bombarded by over 2,000 shells in 1991-92. After great international efforts, the city has been restored to its former glory, with its towering fortifications, magnificent medieval architecture, red tiled roofs, winding paved streets and picturesque harbours.
We walk the walls of Dubrovnik, considered by many to be a highlight of our visit. The total circuit is nearly 2km / 1.25 mi, and from the bastions you will have magnificent views of the city's monuments, including the Minceta Tower, Revelin Tower, and the mighty fortress of St. Lawrence, with walls 12m / 40 feet thick!
This afternoon we travel into the countryside outside Dubrovnik, towards the town of Cavtat to walk along the newly created Ronald Brown Pathway in the Konavle Valley, named for the U.S. Secretary of Commerce who was in the tragic airplane crash of a trade mission here in 1996. The trail rising to Strazisce peak, at 670 m (2,200 feet), provides beautiful views over the valley, nearby Zupa Bay, and the open sea, with islands and Dubrovnik's Old Town in the distance. The walk takesin the area's rich flora and fauna, including lizards, birds, and endemic plant species.
We return to our hotel in the late afternoon.
Overnight in Dubrovnik.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 3 Dubrovnik, Croatia - Perast, Montenegro - Kotor
Our foray into Montenegro will begin in Boka Kotorska, the only fjord in the Mediterranean, a bay of 32 km / 20 miles cut deep into the stone of the Orjen and Lovcen mountains.
We will drive along the coast to the town of Perast where we take a small boat to Perast's most famous site, Gospa od Skrpjela (Our Lady of the Rock), a picturesque chapel built on the only artificially built island in the Adriatic. The island was built upon a rock after two Venetian sailors from Perast miraculously found a picture of the Virgin Mary on it in 1452.
After lunch in Perast, we travel the short distance to Kotor, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Kotor was inhabited even at the times of Illyrians and Romans. Its history is also entwined with that of the Venetian Empire. On our afternoon walking tour we see a number of the city's fortifications and monuments dating from the time of Venetian rule, including the Cathedral of St Tryphon, which contains a rich collection of artifacts. Older than many famous churches and cathedrals in Europe, the Cathedral of St. Tryphon has a treasury of immense value. In its interior there are frescos from the 14th century, a stone ornament above the main altar in which the life of St. Tryphon is depicted, as well as a relief of saints in gold and silver. The most representative works of Kotor's masters and craftsmen are kept in this Cathedral, making its collection quite unique.
Within its walls, the city of Kotor has retained a mediaeval feel. A map of the old city shows hardly a single right angle; the town consists of a maze of tiny alleys that meet unexpectedly to form "squares" that are anything but square. Overshadowed by both towering cliffs and the high walls of four-storey stone houses, some of these narrow lanes must never see sunshine. One of the great pleasures of Kotor is wandering at random through this little labyrinth.
Overnight in Kotor.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 4 Kotor: Lovcen National Park, Montenegro - Dubrovnik, Croatia
Starting from the Kotor gate we take one of the oldest roads and drive along the breathtaking route via winding mountain roads up along the steep slopes to the Lovcen Mountain. The Lovcen National Park is an area of dramatic contrasts -- on one side the rugged snow-capped mountains, while opposite you will find the tranquility of one of the most beautiful bays in the world.
Our hike takes us to Jezerski Vrh (1657 m / 5,436 ft). From here we can see half of Montenegro, the Adriatic Sea, Skadar Lake and mountain peaks to the north. There is a mausoleum on the Jezerski Vrh of Petar Petrovic Njegos, famous Montenegrin ruler and poet from 19th century. We then walk down to Ivanova Korita, one of the most beautiful parts of the Lovcen Mountain National Park (1261 m / 4,137 ft)), situated on the eastern slope of Jezerski peak in a valley covered with forests and meadows. After a break, we will drive back down to the city and finish at the Kotor gate.
After our hike, you'll have some free time to enjoy Kotor. Browse the town at your leisure and discover souvenir, antique and craft shops, boutiques and market stalls.
TOTAL WALKING TIME +/- 4 hrs; EASY level.
Return to Dubrovnik.
Overnight in Dubrovnik.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 5 Dubrovnik - Ston - Korcula
Today we travel by bus and ferry to the breathtaking island of Korcula. En route we stop at the Peljesac Peninsula where we can walk the city walls of the town of Ston and pause for lunch (the area is known for its wines and oysters!). Ston was a major fort of the Ragusan Republic whose defensive walls were regarded as a notable feat of medieval architecture. The town's inner wall measures 890 metres in length, while the Great Wall outside the town has a circumference of 5 km.
We continue to Korcula. Situated on a small peninsula, the cluster of brilliant red tiled roofs perch above the aquamarine harbour waters, clear to a depth of 21m! Korcula was settled by the Greeks who called the island "Korkyra Melaina", or "Black Corfu" because of the dark appearance of its densely wooded forests. Today the island is covered with olive groves and vineyards; cereals, carob, citrus and vegetables are all grown on this island, as well as an array of wild herbs. The island is also proud of its heritage: it is the home of traditional shipbuilding and stone masonry, and also the center of Croatian folk traditions of costume and dance.
Later this afternoon we will have a walking tour of the old town. The street plan of the town is unique and often compared to a fishbone pattern: the north-south streets allowed the defenders of the town to reach the walls and towers, and the east-west lanes were designed to capture the pleasant maestral winds and minimize the force of the cold "bora." The Venetian Cathedral of St. Mark is an architectural delight, squeezed into a small square. Tucked into a narrow lane nearby is the small house where it is believed Marco Polo was born. We will also visit the Treasury and Town Museum with fascinating exhibitions of Korcula's history and traditions, from prehistoric times to the present.
Overnight in Korcula.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 6 Korcula: 'Napoleon's Road'
Today we transfer to the town of Pupnat where we will begin our walk along via 'Napoleon's Road' all the way back to Korcula, stopping for a traditional Dalmatian lunch at a small local restaurant en route.
Pupnat is a village in the interior eastern part of the island of Korcula, located on the regional road running along the island. The population of Pupnat is about 500 making this the smallest village on the island. The name Pupnat, according to some interpreters, derives from "pampinata," which means vine leaves. The Illyrian lived around Pupnat, in the area of Mocila, where remains of Illyrian graves were found. The location of the village was chosen by its settlers, in the hilly part of the island so as to be invisible from the sea and passing pirates.
From Pupnat, the road descends past small farms and vineyards surrounded by countless miles of dry stone walls and dotted with kucice -- traditional dry stone huts used for housing livestock. We stop for lunch in the village of Zrnovo, one of the oldest settlements on the island. The prehistoric life that existed in the area was found in Jakasove Spila (cave). Zrnovo has numerous small churches that one can see walking along the road from east to west.
We continue to Korcula via a prehistoric walking path. Balance of the day at leisure in Korcula.
TOTAL WALKING TIME +/- 4 hrs; elevation variation +/- 100m / 330 ft.
Overnight in Korcula.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 7 Korcula - Hvar: Walking Tour
Today we travel by ferry to Hvar, "Queen of the Dalmatian Islands," considered one of the ten most beautiful islands in the world.
The island of Hvar receives 2,724 hours of sunshine per year, more than anywhere else in Croatia, and is thus called the "Island of the Sun". Greeks from Paros first settled on the island in the 4th century BC in Pharos, the modern town of Stari Grad. In the 13th century, the capital of the island was transferred to the town of Hvar (a mutation of Pharos in Slavic) and prospered during the 3.5 centuries of Venetian rule. This picturesque town and marina is alive with the constant hum of activity.
This morning we have a walking tour through narrow streets to the 15th century Franciscan Monastery where we visit the Renaissance cloister, the old rectory that today houses a collection of lace, manuscripts and books; and the church with its remarkable collection of paintings. We visit St Stephen's Cathedral, and see the Arsenal (closed for refurbishment), a thick walled fortress overlooking the harbour.
For those interested, there is an excellent walk up to the Venetian castle above town.
Overnight in Hvar.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 8 Sveta Nedelja Hike
This morning we drive by jeep to the highest part of the island where we will start our hike. You will enjoy beautiful scenery, a cave with a monastery, beautiful beaches, and vineyards. The walk from the higest peak to the village of Sveta Nedelja takes approx. 2 hours; the last 45 min is a steep downhill. From Sveta Nedelja we will continue our walk on a wide off-road all the way to Dubovica Bay (approx 10 km) from where we return to Hvar by road.
This one one of our more challenging walks of the trip, owing to its length, some steep parts, and its overall duration (6-7 hours, leisurely pace). Return to Hvar in the late afternoon.
Overnight in Hvar.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 9 Hvar - Brac Island & Hermitage of Blaca
This morning we will take an early ferry to the town of Bol on nearby Brac Island, the highest and third largest island in the Adriatic. Today's excursion takes us on a relaxing and panoramic boat ride along the coast of Brac to a hiking trail that leads us up to the intriguing Hermitage of Blaca, now a museum. Departing from Bol, our boat will pass Croatia's most famous beach, the Golden Horn, before continuing past pine forests, olive groves and coastal vineyards to the trailhead in Blaca Bay.
The reward for our 45 minute uphill climb is a visit to the dramatically situated Hermitage of Blaca, whose stone structures cling to cliff overlooking a dry ravine. The hermitage was established in the 16th century by monks from the mainland town of Polijice who sought refugee from invading Turks. Originally situated in a cave, the hermitage was built up over the centuries to include a church, school, astronomical observatory and library. Today the museum houses a unique collection of ancient books, clocks, astronomical instruments and artifacts from the life of the last monk to inhabit Blaca, Niko Milicevic.
After a tour of the hermitage we return to our boat in travel back to Bol, where you have the remainder of the afternoon to explore the town of Bol or swim at the Golden Horn.
TOTAL WALKING TIME +/- 2 hrs; elevation variation +/- 250m / 820 ft.
Overnight on Brac.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 10 Brac: Island Tour - Split
After breakfast we'll explore Brac with its stone landscapes, olive groves, and sheep dotting the hillsides. Our bus tour starts begins with a long but gradual climb to the ridge of the island, across Brac to the village of Pucisca, home to a famous marble quarry. Stone from Brac has been used in the a number of famous buildings, including Diocletian's Palace, the parliament buildings of Vienna and Budapest and the Canadian WWI memorial at Vimy Ridge.
Our next stop will take us to Vidova Gora (778m / 2,567 ft), the highest point on the island offering spectacular views. We continue to Supetar, where we will stop for lunch before boarding a ferry for Split, located on the mainland.
This afternoon we tour Split (ancient Spalato), the second largest city of Croatia. The historic city center actually lies in the walls of the enormous retirement Palace of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, built between 295-305 AD. The palace served as a palace, military fortress, and later, a fortified town. The city is enclosed by huge walls, pierced by 4 main gates, one on each side of the rectangular plan.
Overnight in Split.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 11 Split - Paklenica National Park - Plitvice
Today we travel to Plitvice via Paklenica National Park where we enjoy a hike. The park is situated south of the Velebit range of mountains (the largest in Croatia) and covers an area of just under 100 square km, with a mixture of high peaks with stunning views, deep gorges and beech and pine forests. We take the track leading from Velika Paklenica Canyon to the Mountain Hut. The track has 10 educational boards providing information on the natural features of the park and cultural features of the area.
Our final destination is Plitvice, where 16 lakes, each at a different level, join each other in a series of cascading waterfalls.
Overnight at Plitvice.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 12 Plitvice Lakes National Park - Zagreb
Travertine terraces have been continuously reforming themselves over 10,000 years as calcium carbonate dissolves and settles, forming barriers and cascades. Imagine Niagara Falls diced and sprinkled over a heavily forested Grand Canyon. This lush valley of terraced lakes is laced together by waterfalls and miles of pleasant wooden-plank walks. Countless cascades and strangely clear and colourful water make the Plitvice Lakes National Park a misty natural wonderland. The ever-changing fluid landscape -- created by water, gravity, limestone and time -- is mesmerizing.
Look for wildlife as you hike. The park is home to deer, wolves, wildcats, wild boar, and more than 160 species of birds (from eagles to herons to owls). The lakes (and local menus) are full of trout. The entire area is protected as one of UNESCO's Natural World Heritage Sites. We will follow wooden paths on our walk around the Lower and Upper Lakes, ending with a short boat ride across the largest lake.
In the late afternoon we will drive to Zagreb, the capital of Croatia.
TOTAL WALKING TIME +/- 4 hours (leisurely, easy)
Overnight in Zagreb.
Meal plan: breakfast,dinner
Day 13 Zagreb: City Tour & Medvednica Nature Park
Today we have a city tour,* featuring Governor Jelacic Square, undoubtedly the very heart of the capital. Located in Zagreb's center, the square is dominated by the statue of Josip Jelacic who became the governor of the triple Kingdom of Dalmatia, Croatia, and Slavonia on the 23rd of March, 1848. In the District of Gradec, we take a funicular from the Lower town to the Upper, which has connected, for centuries, the old part of town with Ilica Street, the main shopping area. We will then stroll back down to Kaptol, St Catherine's Cathedral, Church of St Mark, St. Stephen's Church, and Lotrscak Tower.
After our look at the city, we'll take a tram and bus to the bottom of Bear Mountain and then make our way to the summit. Bikceviceva trail (4 km / 2.5 miles) leads us through rich forest habitats to Puntijarka mountain hut. From here the peak, Sljeme, is only a short walk away. On our way down we will pass by Tomislavov Dom to meet up with the route "Bazulovka" (meaning the "bean trail"). This will lead us to Medvedgrad (6 km / 3.8miles), a medieval fortress with a stunning view over the city. We will again use public transport (bus and tram) to get back to our hotel.
Overnight in Zagreb.

The Cat From Hue
[Sorry, the video for this story has expired, but you can still read the transcript below. ]

- Media Watch
- May 2, 2000: Seven senators discuss their experiences in Vietnam.
- May 1, 2000: Elizabeth Farnsworth reports from a Vietnamese village.
- April 28, 2000: How two veterans responded to anti-war protests.

- April 12, 2000: A discussion on the Vietnam War's effects on the military
- April 5, 2000: A look at the Vietnam War's historical impact
TERENCE SMITH: The book is "The Cat from Hue: A Vietnam War Story." The author is John Laurence, who did three tours of duty in Vietnam as a correspondent for CBS news. In his 30-year broadcasting career, he has covered 15 wars and revolutions for CBS and for ABC News, as well as reporting and documentaries on politics and culture from his base in London.
Jack Laurence, welcome.
JOHN LAURENCE: Thank you.
TERENCE SMITH: Explain the title, the cat metaphor.
JOHN LAURENCE: The cat was actually a small, starving, orphaned, homeless kitten I met in Hue when it was about eight weeks old and I was 27 or 28 years old, and near the end of my tour. And we started a relationship in a bombed out house that was during the 20th day of the Battle of Hue, when the Marines retook it from the north Vietnamese during the Tet Offensive.
TERENCE SMITH: Right, in 1968.
That's right. It was the single worst battle of the war. There were over 10,000 people killed in that battle. And how the kitten survived, and turned out to be a Vietcong cat– he's the symbol for the resistance for the other side– was really a miracle.
TERENCE SMITH: You were just 25 when you went to Vietnam for the first time.
JOHN LAURENCE: Yes.
TERENCE SMITH: …In 1965. What was your mindset at that time, as far as the war went?
JOHN LAURENCE: The only research I took with me from New York on the long flight to Saigon was David Halberstam's new book, "The Making of a Quagmire." And so that was my mindset. I believed that, as Halberstam concluded, it was worth being in Vietnam; the country was worth saving; the sending of troops– as President Johnson had ordered 50,000 initially, 500,000 within a few years– was a noble cause, to save that little country from the civil war it was engaged in with the North.
TERENCE SMITH: A noble cause when you first went there. What did you think at the end of the third tour?
JOHN LAURENCE: I was against the war on every count. In the time I was there, I saw that, "a," it was going to be impossible to achieve a successful result against the North Vietnamese and the Vietcong; "b," that the amount of devastation and destruction and killing that we were causing in Vietnam outweighed the circumstances that might come with a more peaceful solution to just let the Vietnamese settle it themselves. So I went from being a hawk to a dove in five years.
TERENCE SMITH: You went back in 1982.
JOHN LAURENCE: I did.
TERENCE SMITH: …To Vietnam. And in fact there's a passage in the book where you describe a very difficult night as all of the memories come back in Saigon. Would you read it for us?
JOHN LAURENCE: Yes, surely. You get paranoid when you don't sleep enough and you're in a place that has a lot of… of terrifying memories, and so this paragraph in the book, which is on page 837– we're getting near the end– described this. It really was, in some ways, my message to all the Vietnam veterans, civilian or military, who still had the same problems I did after the war.
"Sometime before dawn and the deepest despair, working its way up from unconscious depths and running beside the accelerating depression, a conscious flash cut through the gloom– a bulletin from beyond, a psychic antidote suggesting itself among memories of war madness, a secret to sanity for such moments. The thought was not profound or even particularly enlightened, offering only a small consolation for those of us who had put it on the line in Vietnam.
"It suggested that those who came here and got away alive, who made it through the bad times and the good, are stronger than they may think by having survived it; maybe also wise with the knowledge that nothing ever, anywhere, would be as hard. It was another way of saying that having survived the war, I could survive this night. I held on to the thought, nurtured it, invoked it every time the fear was strong, used it to fight the madness, and eventually it got me through."
TERENCE SMITH: You know, the writing of this book, which I know took years, must have been something of a catharsis in itself.
JOHN LAURENCE: It was. I'm 62 years old now. I was in my 20s when the war was happening. I was seeing a very small corner of the war each time we went out into the field, and it was so traumatic and disturbing, it made my world be turned upside down, that I couldn't assimilate the horror of it at the time. And it got buried somewhere in my unconscious, and that affected the way that I felt and thought in the rest of my life. But being a mature human being and being able to put these incidents in the context of the bigger picture, I was able to see that it all actually did make sense, but that I had to write the book to make sense of it.
TERENCE SMITH: Right, right. Let's put it in that context, and even the context of today. When you look back on it– you, this hawk turned dove– and you look back at it with the advantage of hindsight, what lessons from Vietnam… what should we draw from it?
JOHN LAURENCE: Well, many of the lessons of Vietnam have already been implemented, whether they were intended or not. The reorganization of the military, for example. It's now an all-volunteer army and marine corps and the rest of the services. It's perhaps much more professional. The training methods are much more realistic. I met someone in the Gulf War, after it was over, say that fighting the Iraqi tanks was not as difficult as some of the training exercises that they had gone through beforehand. We are rotating units in Afghanistan today, rather than individuals. That's a lesson from the Vietnam War. But… and there are many others.
But maybe the most profound is that the U.S. Government and military are no longer willing to accept casualties the way they were during the Vietnam War, so that all of the casualties since Vietnam are fewer than, for example… all the casualties from all the wars the United States has fought overseas since Vietnam are fewer than those who were lost from the state of Connecticut in the Vietnam War: 612.
TERENCE SMITH: And for people in your profession, our profession, journalists– what should they draw from Vietnam — because it's the template for so much coverage of wars after that?
JOHN LAURENCE: Well, all that has changed so much now. It's so much more difficult to get out and cover a story, say, for example in Afghanistan or anywhere the U.S. Military is. And that's a real dilemma because, as citizens, we need to know as much as we can within the limits of secrecy and security that the military sets. But without being censored for the sake of being censored, not to learn the mistakes that are being made. The longer the wars go on, the more necessary it becomes to see them as they are happening.
TERENCE SMITH: And that reluctance on the part of the military, you see as an outgrowth of Vietnam?
JOHN LAURENCE: Yes, yes, and also its own security needs, and those have to be respected. You can't have 500 reporters chasing 7,000 troops. You can have 500 reporters trying to get stories when you have 500,000 troops over a great big area, as was the case, as you know, Terry, in Vietnam. But it's a different set of circumstances in Afghanistan. I don't degree that Afghanistan is like Vietnam, as some have been quoted as saying. Afghanistan is exactly like Afghanistan.
TERENCE SMITH: Jack Laurence, thanks very much.
JOHN LAURENCE: Thank you, Mr. Smith.

← Atheist group sues Bush over national prayer day
Jump to comment 51 by ThoughtsonCommonToad
The day of prayer, held each year on the first Thursday of May, creates a "hostile environment for nonbelievers, who are made to feel as if they are political outsiders," the lawsuit said.
Oh wa fucking wa. Can this organisation not see how they are being painted. Every story I read is pedantic whining from secular groups in America. You've got to ask the rhetorical question, Why does this stuff always make headlines?

Gear Review
great for guiding
I have been a rock guide for several years and I wanted a shoe that I could wear to have secure friction on the rock and also demo a few climbs for my clients. After using this shoe, I was very please with the friction I receive, I would expect nothing less than spectacular from FiveTen. However the shoe construction was falling apart way too quickly. The sole on the toe box was peeling off after some light rock scrambling and hiking. I love the shoe for guiding, but wouldn't use it for anything too technical.

Lesson 1
Objective: Act 1, Scene 1 The Tragedy of Othello, like most works by Shakespeare, involves a number of intertwining story lines, characters, and plot twists. Following this string of literary devices can be difficult when coupled with the challenging language and the Italian names.

1) Class discussion: Plot. Brainstorm different ways of mapping the plot. Open it up for discussion and take ideas and suggestions from class members.

Excelsior! Pop culture and technology will be celebrated in one geektastic weekend next March.
We're not sure what's more exciting: the fact that Steve Wozniak and Stan Lee are collaborating on a new Comic Con in Silicon Valley happening next year, or the idea that they might be fighting crime at night while we sleep.
On today's show, Khail and Ashley get excited about a new event from Stan Lee and Steve Wozniak that blends tech and entertainment into one convention. Plus, they explain why researchers are attempting to grow a 3D-printed replica of the human body onto a chip and watch a robot make a latte. #TDCons

Kids Books We're Still Recovering From
October. It's about time for me to pull out some of my favorite books that freaked me out as a kid.
1. Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark
Spiders. Spiders laying eggs in faces. IF THIS DOESN'T RING A BELL I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP YOU.
2. Where The Red Fern Grows
Much like Old Yeller, there are dogs, and you will cry.
3. A Little Princess
Girlfriend gets dropped off at boarding school and EVERYBODY DIES. Okay not really, but papa is gone and the headmistress is not having it with sweet little Sara Crewe.
4. Goosebumps
The covers alone freaked me out. I could not read them as a kid as a result.
5. Rebecca
Mrs. Danvers. Let her give you nightmares for a while, mkay?
6. The Secret Garden
Much like A Little Princess, EVERYBODY DIES. Except this time they really do die and the soldiers find this small child wandering around an abandoned compound you know is filled with dead bodies.
7. It
Don't tell me I wasn't supposed to read Stephen King as a kid. Clearly no one was monitoring my reading list.
8. Bridge to Terabithia
Right in the My Girl feels, y'all. Good luck recovering from that one.

Police have criticised the "sheer stupidity" of three divers
without lifejackets, a radio, cellphones or an anchor who
needed rescuing after their inflatable boat drifted out to
Their boat went adrift after its small outboard motor seized
while the three Palmerston North men, all in their 40s, were
diving off Akitio Beach, south of Dannevirke, yesterday
A man onshore saw the boat drifting out to sea and alerted
police about 4.30pm.
"It wasn't long before the inflatable craft was out of sight
to those onshore," Inspector David White said.
A helicopter and local fishing vessels helped police search
for the boat.
It was found by one of the local search vessels about 45
minutes after it was last seen.
Mr White said the three men were on the inflatable boat,
which had drifted 5km out to sea.
"Very strong north westerly winds could have carried the
inflatable a long way out to sea," Mr White said.
He said people in charge of boats needed to take proper
responsibility for themselves and their passengers.
"Sufficient preparation when undertaking boating activities
is very important.
"Heading out to sea without any life jackets, safety beacon,
a radio, or a cellphone is just sheer stupidity."

Kathmandu: C. Muniyappa of the Karnataka Golf Association took over the lead in the Surya Nepal Masters golf tournament with another card of three under 69 while overnight leader Vinod Kumar of Delhi slumped to tied fourth place with a card of five over 77 after the second round of the PGAI championship.
Muniyappa has shown promise with top ranking finishes in the past. However, his sudden lapses of concentration have proved his undoing. On day two at the Gokarana Forest Golf Resort, the Bangalore youngster picked up his game after a horrible start. Muniyappa hit a low on the second hole logging a double bogey. After that, his outward journey was a series of pars and a birdie on the ninth meant that he was still one over.
On the inward journey, he birdied holes 12 to 15and did not drop a shot after that to finish three under for one stroke lead over Nabin Mondal.
In his element
Nabin was in his element on the back nine too. After his first round showing of two under, Nabin played to level par on the first nine holes. Two birdies and two bogeys marked Nabin's card on the first nine. But coming back into the club house, Nabin had four birdies with a single lapse on the back nine to finish with a three under.
Amardip Singh Malik had the best card of the day, submitting a four under 68. A total of six birdies, five in the first nine holes and one on the second put him joint fourth position with a two day total of 140.
Meanwhile, it was announced that there would be no play on Friday owing to a bandh. Two rounds would be played on Saturday.
The results (after two rounds): Professionals: C. Muniyappa (69, 69) 138; Nabin Mondal (70,69) and Shamim Khan (70, 69) 139 each; Amardip Singh Malik (72, 68), Gurbaaz Mann (69, 71), Amritender Singh (69, 71) and Vinod Kumar (63, 77) 140 each; Sanjay Kumar (72, 69), A.S. Lehal (71, 70), Ajai Gupta (69, 72), S. Madaiah (68, 73) 141 each.
Amateurs: Shivram Shrestha (72, 72) 144; Raj Pradhan (72, 76) 148; Ravi Khadka (73, 76) 149; R.K. Pradhan (78, 76) 154; Surya Sharma (76, 80) 156; Tashi Tsering (78, 82) 160.

The Clay County Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. made a donation of books Thursday to the library at South Side Elementary School.
"The Deltas donate books to South Side library and the next year we make a donation to the Bryan Public Library," said Clay County Alumnae Chapter Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. President Gail Atkins. "We rotate every year with our donation knowing that both libraries are used by area children. It's a small way the Deltas can give back to the community."
Thursday brought with it United Way's Campaign Kickoff Luncheon celebrating its 30 years of operations, and welcomed local best-selling author and Mossy Oak Biologic President Bobby Cole as the guest speaker.
Since its inception in 1983, United Way of Clay County has strived to fund, through public donations, health and human organizations. After a collective of civic-minded residents felt it desirable to expand the local Community Chest into a more expansive organization, the train truly began.
The Clay County Board of Supervisors convened Thursday to discuss the drafted agenda as well as lending an ear to comments from the public.
West Point resident Ruby Brooks had a couple of things to say regarding the ongoing road paving of White Station Rd.
"There's too much dust," said Brooks. "And rocks (that are so thick). They need to take that stuff off the road."

WINONA — The Indianola Lady Colonels (1-0 preseason) defeated Hebron Christian 60-24 in a MAIS sanctioned preseason contest Monday on the campus of Winona Christian School.
"We didn't play well at all," Hebron Head Coach Bruce Franks said. "We didn't shoot well and we turned the ball over too much. Indianola was a really good team to start as the first game. We are going to have to learn to set tempo and make less turnovers to get to where we need to be this season."
As technology improves, so do the methods of scam artists of all stripes.
The massive war being waged daily in the cyber realm is as invariable as a scam artists' motivation to pillage civilians. With tools such as sensationalism, faux lotteries, virus-ridden emails and the like, a scammer could lead people to a bear trap time after time.
Residents can expect to see downtown West Point crawling with spooks and specters of all sorts next Thursday, as the annual Boo Parade gets under way. Some 800 children from Head Start, Pre-K and Kindergarten programs from schools around the county will congregate in their finest Halloween wear to march the parade route beginning at 9 a.m. along Commerce, Main and East streets in one of the city's most celebrated traditions.
The ladies of the Cedar Bluff Quilters are sponsoring a quilt show at 2 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 27 at the Cedar Bluff Community Center. More than 30 of the handmade works of art will be on display.

WINONA – The Hebron Christian Lady Eagles started the 2013-14 basketball season against Winona Christian and Indianola Academy Monday on the campus of Winona Christian School.
Lafayette Wales rushed for 238 yards and five touchdowns in Canton Academy's second district win over Oak Hill, 49-14, in a MAIS District 2-AA contest in Canton.
Wales averaged nine yards per carry as the Panther offense rushed for 391 yards on the ground. Senior Kraft McLean rushed 11 times for 98 yards and scored the two other Canton rushing touchdowns.
Canton (6-3; 2-2 District 2-AA) led Oak Hill by halftime, 28-6. The Panthers did not slow down in the second-half scoring 21 points en route to a 49-14 win.
It won't be long before the break ends for 62-year-old and former International Business Machines (IBM) employee John Colbert. Once it does, the occasionally jagged and confused waves of the Mississippi River will welcome his — and his seasoned kayak's — return.
A Starkville native, transcontinental voyager and Mississippi State University graduate, Colbert hails in the realm of science and engineering. Proof positive that his 31 years spent designing new components for mainframe computers and supercomputers was no inadvertence.

At least 10 killed as powerful tornadoes tear across southern US
Published on Apr 28, 2014 1:41 PM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - Powerful tornadoes tearing across the southern United States have killed at least 10 people, emergency officials in the states of Arkansas and Oklahoma reported late on Sunday.
The Arkansas Department of Emergency Management said there were eight storm-related fatalities, while an official with the Oklahoma Emergency Management Agency said there were at least two tornado victims in the state.
Local emergency crews were combing through the debris in some of the hardest-hit towns as forecasters warned that more twisters were on their way.
"It's chaos right now," the mayor of the Arkansas town of Velonia, James Firestone, told CNN. The downtown area "seems like it's completely levelled", he added. "There's a few buildings partially standing, gas lines spewing. Fire lines down. We've had some casualties."
