Tarras School pupil Jemmimah McCombe-Rae (10), of Tarras, is
all concentration as she takes on Ben Paku (10), of George
Street Normal School, in the second round of the Otago
Southland primary intermediate interschool team chess
championship in Dunedin on Saturday.
About 70 children in 17 teams from 13 schools took part in
the event. The winning team will compete in the national
finals in Auckland in September.
Also, the top three teams would compete in a separate South
Island final in September, which was usually in Ashburton.
Tournament director Quentin Johnson said the competition, now
in its 10th year, was designed to encourage the development
of chess clubs in schools, and year-round play.
Ability levels tended to vary markedly between the
competitors, he said.
Intermediate: George St Normal A, 23 points, 1;
Tarras, 22, 2; Enrich, 21.5, 3.
Primary: Balmacewen A, 23.5, 1; Balmacewen B, 16.5, 2;
Tahuna A, 15.5, 3.

World Heavyweight Boxing Champion Frank Maloney pulled pints in the 1980s at the historic Crayford Arms, a traditional pub with a real sense of community and a vibrant buzz.
Today the High Street inn is a favourite with a huge mix of people of all ages and backgrounds. What's more, everybody talks to everybody else.
Pub users include birdwatchers, bikers, star gazers, morris dancers and historians.
Beer drinkers are in heaven with five casks of ale always on and nine normally on tap, in fact it has its own ale festival. Beers are complemented by an excellent selection of wines.

I was shocked to see that this book was a YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction Finalist. Not because I didn't think it was deserving, though, but because I was shocked it didn't actually win! Shane Burcaw's self-deprecating sense of humor and unwavering positivity in the face of adversity have already garnered tens of thousands of readers for his blog [laughingatmynightmare.tumblr.com], so it comes as no surprise that the book has also been universally well-received.

Time for some bleeder action. Use to have the System Tech Bleeders, but these are cheaper and I like them better.
On the bike
Also got some new shoes on the rear. Question though: I ran 110/100 - 18 inch tubes and they are noticeably smaller than the stock tubes. They are MSR Ultra Heavy Duty Tubes. Is that OK?
I've heard you can go one size smaller on the tubes and still be OK.
New shoes ready for Hancock this weekend.

Motion Pro Lite Locks
In addition to the new rear D606 rear tire, I've installed the Motion Pro Lite Locks on the rear. I installed the front one earlier.
Motion Pro LiteLocs Front 1.6 oz (45.3 grams)
Motion Pro LiteLocs Rear 2.6 oz (73.7 grams)
The front ones
Also, as I'm going through the bike, I decide to check to see if my clip on the master link was still intact.... Nope. For some reason, the WRR likes to spit out master links. Anyway, it's always something that has bothered me, so instead of replacing the master link, I will be using a safety wire instead.
Really though, for the longest time I can remember I've never been able to retain the clip, though that chain has stayed intact. The press on plates stay in place regardless of clip or not. Still, it makes me paranoid, so this is my solution. I'll keep an eye out on it.
Safty Wire "Clip"

1: MSR tube...same tube I have had in my rear tire for last two or so years....heavy, but perfectly fine. Stock tube just seemed bigger since it was stretched from the air.
2. Safety wire masterlink clip: Not a bad idea, but I would not bend in, the center area. You are adding a small amount of length to it, and potentially making it easier to come off. It will work just the same with a straight run from one pin to the next.

I was mostly worried that the bead was not setting with the smaller tube, but some of that was tempered by the installing the rimlock.

If the clip is coming off there must be sharp edge it is catching on to make it come off,chainguide or something.

Yes that wiring should be redone. Get a safety wire pliers if you don't already have them and put twists in the section between the pins just like you did on the end. The twists in the center will pull the wire under the pins' edges from all sides. Ride now, the wire is only resting under 2/3rds the edge of each pin, the inside edges are unsupported by the wire.

As others have said, there are only a couple of reasons for losing a slide on chain clip. Hitting something on the bike that is clipping it or it is put on backwards or not properly in the first place. Can't even remember how many I have used of these and never lost one or even heard of guys I ride with losing one while it is on the bike. You should just get a chain riveting tool to fix it until it needs replacing if something is causing the slip on to be removed.
Something is rubbing on the leading edge of that joining side plate just below the pin and there isn't that much wear showing on the other side plates in the same area in the photo. Is it the correct joining link for that chain or is it wider than the chain?

Was thinking about what mentioned above after looking at the picture. I'll do that when and if it falls off. I just got finished doing a tough Hancock Ride in which the bikes been dragged through woods and crashed numerous times.
Lo and behold the safty wire clip is still intact.

The front rimlock is 46 grams and the rear is 74 grams, so I figure if you add a little bit under that weight (to account for the valve stem weight) to the opposite sides you should be fine. I don't think it's a perfect balance but I don't feel in the ride or think about, so I'm good.
They are not too hard to install, just have to be methodical and make sure it is inside the tire before spooning.

2013 Quarry Run, Hancock, NY - August 3–4
Left NYC around 5pm and filtered my way through traffic and over the GW Bridge. About 3 hours of droning at 65 on the highway, I make to it fireman's field just after sunset.
Rode around looking for familiar faces. I knew there was were gonna be some people I knew showing up. After a couple of minutes, I run into Gary, whom I rode with at Durty Dabbers a couple of months earlier. Set up camp in front of his tent and went over to hang out with the LI Adv'ers.
Kicked back some beers and caught up next to the fire before going to bed.
Next morning, I got up and registered. The line at the tech inspection which involved checking for headlight and tailights (and maybe a plate?) was bustling. It was nice they provided a table with scissors and tape for putting together the roll chart.
Day 1
That morning, I was planning on riding with Tammy, Rudy, Gene - a group of 6 people total.
But after the first section, I was letting allot of the 2 stroke guys by. In the tight stuff, they just kept coming and coming like a swarm of killer bees. The distance between the group and I was growing and growing. After letting what seemed like village of rider's by, I continued on.
On the way, I ran into Ben and Lou. Ben had lost his seat bolt. I figure at this point, I was too far behind anyway, so I stopped to lend a hand. Hancock is one of those rides that will separate groups and very easily especially if you have a problem. Your team can't go backward to get you simply because it is a one way ride, it's too tight and you will hit someone head-on if you try.
Because of this and at it's lowest common denominator, it's a "every man, woman and child for themselves" style ride. You need to be able to confident enough in your abilities and strength to tackle the obstacles. There's help from other riders if you need it, but I don't get the feeling there is allot of sympathy if your ability is borderline or lacking or you just plain suck. Sucks to suck.
I didn't stop too much to take photos because I was trying to keep a rhythm and steady pace. There was a couple of nasty slick loose hillclimbs I had to take 2 or more runs at which zapped allot of my energy. If you didn't make it up, you needed to go down otherwise, it was nearly impossible to start mid hill.
Finally make it to the 1st lunch stop. I was the last guy in, burned too much time at the first hill climb catching my breath, and started growing roots as I watch a slew of riders going up, and coming back down, and awaiting an opportunity for a clear path.
After lunch, the trail started going downhill through some very rough rocky fast wide trail.
On the way down, I notice a KTM leaning his bike up the trail and asked him what was up. Turned out, a rider on a Honda XR650L got bucked sideways and rode off into the ravine. He was OK, thankfully, but 2 other rider help him maneuver his bike to the trail below. Thankfully, there was one because XR650L's are heavy and pulling it up would have been epic.
After confirming they were good, I got back on my bike and continued on. Dropped my bike a couple of time as I'm really getting exhausted. Several turns later, we hit a really steep downhill section. At walking pace, I lose balance, on the down side of the hill and with no where to put my leg, the bike fall on top of the side of my knee. Thought I might've broken something, but I had to lay there and wait for the pain to subside. Above, I could hear a bike coming and the rider check in - it was actually the XR that fell in earlier. I must've of scared the guy a bit because he though I passed out on him as I layed still for a bit.
After helping me up and getting back on the trail, we make it out half a mile later at the bottom and I head on the highway back camp - scraped, bruised and battered.
On the way, I stop at an ice cream stand to reward myself for surviving and without broken bones. While in line, Gary and Jeff pull up in a minivan - they have bailed as well. Jeff tweaked his knee on the trail and decided to call it a day.
Mint Chocolate Chip for the pain.
Back at camp
My favorite part of camping … campfires.
After bathing in the Delaware River, I washed the 25 pounds of dirt off the bike to prepare for the next days ride.
An hour or so later, Hal pulls in and half hour after, Lou pulls in. They had both finished the day completing most of the hero sections, a very impressive feat though they were hating life the last 25 or so miles and were wondering why they decided to press on.
Lou and 250
Rudi and family stopped by to say Hi. I felt bad, it turned out Rudi waited for me for quite a bit of time and I never showed so he kept going.
I head over to see what they got cookin at Rudi's - Wieners and Sausages.
Mini Grill wasn't cutting it, so let's bust out the propane grill.
Pete and Edyta were also at the ride with their son and Edyta's mom, but were doing a road ride completely independent of mayhem that is Quarry Run.
Later in the evening, Hal put on a video of ISDE ride as inspiration for the next day.
Day 2
Was questioning if I wanted to do Day 2. I was pretty sore but decided to go for it. If I could do 20 of the 80 miles I would be happy. My leg was swollen and I didn't think I could do nasty hill climbs today.
Kenny fueling up
The morning's ride was full of tight switchback style single track. After 20 miles in, dropping the bike numerous times, stalling it, overheating it, and biting the dust on steep downhills, I bail. Really wished I had a 2 stroke for this type of riding - It would make life a little easier.
Got back to camp around 12:30 and started packing up.
Limped over and grabbed the roasted chicken lunch
Intended to leave after eating, but it went from this:
to pissing down rain. Kenny washing the big peices of mud off his bike..PS, it's raining brah
Ben got in shortly after it started raining. As quickly as it came, it left.
Gary rolled in shortly after the rain stopped, and without thinking, threw his keys in his car, shut the door and hit the lock button instead of unlock. We all thought he was doomed as it was a Sunday and finding a locksmith in a small town would prove difficult.
But NO, not today... This was one one of the most awesome thing I had the pleasure of witnessing. A rider comes over with a wood block and a long metal rod with a crook on the end and in the blink of an eye, the van door was open. It was pretty fantastic how easy that problem was to solve, but also freaky how easy it is to break into a car.
Gary, too, was blown away by the awesomeness.
After the sun came back out, I hopped on and rode out.

B-Mac's christmas tree
Today I got the comfirmation about my internship for my schoolwork. I'm going to work 9 weeks in a farmaceutical company. :D
I am no longer sure which group is more annoying, the internet hipsters that fight to the death labeling the most pointless shit as "offensive" or the morons running facebook pages that act like getting reported makes them the next great revolutionary.
I really want to be asleep right now, apparantly everyone else is, so it's just me pushing bands that I like
Time to play, "Why is that a thing?"
Up first, music videos involving dead girlfriends (and not in an "I will always remember you" kinda way)
First up, from Cage The Elephant, Around My Head (I checked, and not sure where the video and song meaning meet)
Next from Avenged Sevenfold, A Little Piece of Heaven (These lyrics are all about the video, which I honestly don't know if that makes it better, or worse)
Rob - When did you give him authority to have an opinion? :confused:

Campus Housing:
I find that the students in my dorm are all very friendly, and the cost is somewhat manageable.
Off-Campus Dining:
MIT is right in-between Boston and Cambridge so you get a lot of variety in restaurants, plus, they're close by.
Strictness depends on the thing that you're doing, but MIT generally would rather help you than hurt you, especially if the problem has to do with excessive drug or alcohol use. Dorm security has tightened lately so that's become a bit more strict and a bit of a nuisance as well.
I feel like the financial aid that the students get could in general be improved in terms of the amount and how it measures up to the true financial situation of the student and their family. I think applying for outside scholarships is one of the best ways to get financial aid, so try not to rely on MIT's financial aid too much.
Guys & Girls:
I mean, everyone is their own person and you're almost guaranteed to find someone interesting on campus, whether for friendship or relationship. We all have our own quirks and eccentricities but I think that's what makes us interesting.
Campus Housing:
It's great to live on campus since that's where a majority of your friends and classmates are. Each dorm has its own culture and atmosphere, and I think it's quite easy to find one that fits your personality
Campus Food:
There are a lot of options on campus from the dining halls to the restaurants in the student center to the restaurants out in the city. I have the meal plan, and it's convenient since I don't have to worry about food. But it is generally pretty expensive and it is cheaper, and sometimes more fun to cook for yourself.
Off-Campus Dining:
Boston is filled with nice places to eat
They give the students a lot of freedom
Was not able to get any aid
Campus Food:
Sometimes very repetitive, but the food usually tastes good
Campus Housing:
Really clean, great community, great facilities
Guys & Girls:
Girls here (like all students) are smart, involved, and interesting.
MIT has an awesome athletics program. Varsity sports are not a huge deal: I and most people I know have never been to a football game, but the diversity in sports and options available are awesome. Almost all dorms have some form of gym, and the main gym is huge and very accessible. The PE requirement encourages students to take fun courses that are never available at high school: such as pistols, archery, fencing, and sailing (the combination of which will earn you your 'pirates licence'. I personally thought I would have no part in sports, but discovered the pistol team through a friend and fell in love with the program. Top notch team (women's team won first place team in national collegiate competition in 2014), but relaxing, safe, and very focused on mental and wellness aspects of the sport.
Campus Food:
Meal plan is convenient and good quality, which is enough to make me happy. Forced into a meal plan if you live in a dorm with a dining hall which some hate.
Campus Housing:
Housing is amazing: you can select from 11 unique dorms with wide-ranging cultures and amenities, and later have the option to change dorms. The dorms all have their perks, such as East Campus, which builds roller coaters attatched to 3 story dance arenas (and many other things) to Simmons, which has spacious lounges, is new and well maintained, and inclusive government. There is really a huge variety, and people seem to always find an environment they're happy in.
Thankfully I haven't had to have any run in with them
Campus Housing:
If you do not get the dorm that is too far away from campus it is great. and get one where you don't have to clean your own bathroom, it makes life easier.
Local Area:
I am in love with the city of Boston and the surround area.
Greek Life:
I enjoy being able to go out and let loose and have fun at parties thrown by frats
Guys & Girls:
A lot of the frat guys think they are all that and so if you aren't, in their eyes, drop dead gorgeous they wont give you any type of attention, even if you are a cool person and the "gorgeous" girl is awful. I think it gets better as you get older though.
Overall Experience:
Career fairs at MIT are the best. SO many tech companies come and most take your resumes on the spot and help you out.
I wish athletics were a big part of MIT. We don't even have a real football stadium which is sad since I am from texas and football and marching bands are huge there.
Party Scene:
Eh, well people aren't the friendliest here at MIT. I've been to parties at Tufts for example, and it is much easier to talk and meet new people there, which is what I enjoy at parties.
Off-Campus Dining:
Everything up here in Boston is much more expensive than home (deep south texas) so I do not eat out as much since I am on a ridiculously expensive meal plan, now that does not give me my moneys worth at all.

Sorry, there are no reviews.
MIT students have a love/hate relationship with the school. They love the people and the atmosphere and hate the boatloads of work. Correction: Some people like the work and learning things, but most people hate being ignored by certain "research-oriented" professors. Most students who come to MIT had some tough decisions to make about schools before making a final decision, like "Should I go to Harvard or MIT?" and "Should I go to this in-state school with a full scholarship and a free computer or go to MIT and pay for almost everything?" Overall, every student, at some point, will think that they made the wrong decision, but it's the fact that these people made the decision to attend MIT that sets them apart from the rest. Whether they knew what MIT was like or not, students here were willing to take the chance. As a result, the people at MIT are the most creative, helpful, brilliant, and unique in the world. MIT admissions doesn't admit people accidentally—no matter how dumb you may feel when you fail your first exam. Everyone at MIT is incredibly down-to-earth, and everyone has the potential to do great things, even if everyone is deprived of sleep. It's okay—you'll find that some of the best work happens between 3 a.m. and 5 a.m.
MIT will teach you how to survive on your own in the real world, and it will teach you more about yourself, too. Don't expect to be babied—MIT is one of the most challenging schools in the country, but it is also one of the most rewarding. It is an opportunity that few are given, so don't waste your time. While you are here, you will grow up and become an adult. You will form some life-long relationships, and if you survive, you will thrive anywhere.

Superlux Provides IBM-Juniper Alliance With VFX + Editorial Services For Global Brand Film
Atlanta, GA: Superlux brought its talent for creating engaging, seductive visual stories to networking technology with a provocative brand message for the IBM-Juniper Alliance. Hadjo Media called upon the design/animation/VFX boutique to collaborate on 'Mutualism On a Global Scale,' a two-minute brand film that showcases their client's innovative state-of-the-art networking solutions.
Tasked with crafting a message that was colorful, dynamic, and relevant to a diverse audience, Superlux, which has built a reputation for crafting bold moving images that intimately connect viewers and brands, was in its element.
"IBM-Juniper Alliance is a consortium of thinkers, engineers and global problem-solvers dedicated to building a Smarter Network," says Mark Falls, co-owner and creative director of Superlux. "The more we thought about networking, the more we saw the interrelationships of the natural world. Taking our cues from the organic environment, we used images of nature to create a resonant organic backdrop juxtaposing the tale of a business category – and a dynamic partnership – that are truly symbiotic of the IBM-Juniper offering.
The project began at the concept phase – with Superlux creating a variety of motifs and design languages and initiating a collaborative dialogue with the clients as their design and FX team focused on identifying and expanding upon the strongest visual solutions that most dynamically express the essence of the brand's message.
"Our client, Hadjo Media, has done a lot of shooting and editorial work for IBM Digital Video Services (DVS) the Atlanta-based unit of IBM. DVS often calls upon outside creative companies for production and post services. Due to our strategic relationship with Hadjo, this job was a great fit for us," says Falls.
The brief for this job was to tell the story of the alliance between two separate corporations, IBM and Juniper, a tangible entity that seeks to market itself as a distinct alternative to standard-issue networking solutions. The message, 'Networking is evolving. It is business critical. Innovation is important,' positions it as a unique alternative to traditional network solutions because it presents more effective and customizable options.
IBM's teams were the primary target audience for this message, as they spec out network solutions as part of broader integrated software-hardware-personnel implementations. Because these groups are dynamically structured, with diverse missions, fluid personnel and a decentralized hierarchy – the message had to be crafted in a way that was relevant to a wide audience.
Falls, who helmed his team as they explored various approaches to translating their ideas into a complex and versatile graphic system, notes, "We did a lot of initial conceptual groundwork, and the one theme that stood out was the way networking mirrors natural ecosystems. Our approach was to overlay the technology aspect with nature imagery. We found a great quote from molecular biologist Lynn Margulis, which set the tone: "Life did not take over the globe by combat, but by networking.' Once we came up with the central framework and the idea of juxtaposing nature footage with diagrammatic animation, we made a conscience effort to avoid buzz words in the messaging and steer the text towards more 'natural' language."
Superlux initially created style frames for three concepts, presented them to the client, got their feedback, and then set about reimagining and recombining the elements they designed (which all made it into the finished product) for the various scenarios. Its team created the graphic representations of network architecture using a combination of 3D and 2D with plug-ins, and choreographed the text with the action as it unfolded in an organic blend of footage and animation.
"Hadjo principal and director, Rob Rogers, and producer, Steve Brooks, were very supportive of taking a strong conceptual approach and leading with visuals and animation, and gave a lot of latitude throughout the creative process," says Falls. "The collaborative working relationship that Superlux has developed with them was key to the success of the project."
"The budget required that we work with stock footage, so selecting and editing the footage, and giving images from a variety of sources a unifying color and look was an important component of the job," adds Falls. " Bringing the concept to life from such a variety of source material and original animation was a challenge."
The 3D approach allowed the designers to finesse lighting and color to play though the graphics and imbue the footage with an ethereal feeling using a distinctively vibrant magenta-violet palette.
Superlux art director, Eric Carros, and designer, Stephen Delorme, also edited the footage, which allowed the company to seamlessly follow their distinct creative vision through the process of marrying the 3D and live footage.
"Having worked closely with Superlux on several projects over the years, we knew we could count on them to deliver quality work," say Rogers. "They act as an extension of our company, seamlessly, and deliver on time and on budget."
Superlux is all about bringing strong ideas to life with seductive motion, utilizing design as the unifying force that determines aesthetic, technique, and logistics," says Falls. "The IBM/Juniper branding package gave us an opportunity to devise an agnostic execution of the integration of concept and technique. We were inspired by the process of interpreting a global client's messaging, and proposing and executing a concise expression across multiple disciplines."

Woods goes nowhere in Honda Classic
Saturday - 3/2/2013, 6:16pm EST
AP Golf Writer
PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (AP) -- Instead of making a move, Tiger Woods was stuck in neutral Saturday at the Honda Classic.
Woods never found his tee shot that plugged into the bank below the par-3 17th green and eventually made double bogey. That ruined a good start and sent him to a third straight round of even-par 70 that left him in the middle of the pack.
"If you play well, you can shoot about 5- or 6-under par, there's no doubt," Woods said. "There are some accessible pins. The greens are perfectly smooth out there. They are not that fast, so you can be pretty aggressive."
In the third group off, it was the perfect time to post a low number and try to get into contention.
Woods, however, said his momentum was slowed by mud on his ball in the 10th fairway that caused his shot to wobble toward the green and fall short in a bunker. He missed about a 10-foot par putt, backing off when he heard someone in the gallery take his picture, and muttering under his breath as he walked off the green.
He only had a few reasonable looks at birdie the rest of the way, and then 17th was his undoing.
Woods stared for the longest time after his tee shot came up short. There was no splash, not even a ripple, and there was no signal from a marshal. He never found his ball, despite looking longer than five minutes. A rules official gave him a ride back to the other side of the lake. Woods started to get out by the drop area until realizing he had to go all the way back to the tee.
Because he never found the ball, Woods couldn't be sure where it landed. If the ball had been inside the red hazard line, he could have gone to the drop area.
"You don't know, and then it's a lost ball," he said.
He said another mud ball was the reason he hit what amounted to a foul ball into the stands left of the 18th green. It landed in the bleachers, bounced over the first row and a fan caught it on one hop. He waited for Woods to arrive, and then tossed it back to him. Woods hit wedge through the green and into a back bunker, the sixth time in the round he had to play out of the sand.
Not only did he fail to get in the mix, he finished before television coverage came on, and that might be the case on Sunday, too.
"Go out there and execute, simple as that, same thing I do every day," Woods said on his outlook for the final round. "Hopefully, I'll get it going early."
Woods was nine shots behind going into the final round last year at the Honda Classic, closed with a 62 and tied for second behind Rory McIlroy.

Four of the aforementioned players are still competing on the ATP Tour, as the one-time world No. 1 Courier called it a career earlier this season, after winning four Grand Slam titles among his 23 overall championships.
American men have virtually dominated the game over the past decade and change, boasting three top-ranked stars, in Sampras, Agassi and Courier, and combining to hoist 24 Grand Slam trophies (no thanks to Martin here) -- eight Wimbledons, six U.S. Opens, six Australian Opens, and four French Opens.
As we all know, Sampras has piled up seven Wimbledon crowns, while Agassi became one of only five players to corral the career Grand Slam.
Sampras, Agassi and Courier all assumed the lofty No. 1 perch in the 1990s, and the 29-year-old Sampras recently regained the top spot in the world with hopes of finishing numero uno for a record seventh time in eight years.
The quintet of veteran Americans has also combined to win 173 ATP titles to this point, including 63 by the great Sampras and 45 by the not-quite-as-great Agassi, which places both men in the top-10 in that category.
But who'll replace Sampras, Agassi, Courier, Chang, and I guess even Martin, on the American side?
Tennis has been busy promoting its next generation of male stars, mostly in the form of the "New Balls Please" campaign, but there aren't too many Americans in sight amidst all the promotion. The tour's been pushing the likes of non-Americans Gustavo Kuerten (Brazil), Marat Safin (Russia), Lleyton Hewitt (Australia), Juan Carlos Ferrero (Spain), Nicolas Lapentti (Ecuador), Nicolas Kiefer and Tommy Haas (Germany), Roger Federer (Switzerland), etc. I think we (USA) get the picture.
But the omissions of Americans by the ATP is not an oversight or an intention to slight the U.S. men, it's just reflect's the state of the game right now, with most of the brightest stars coming from countries in Europe, South America and Australia (a country and continent all wrapped up in one).
So who are the American young guns?
The most-promising "up-and-comers" would have to be matinee-idol Jan-Michael Gambill, Andy Roddick and Taylor Dent, with honorable mention to Alex Kim and the disappointing Justin Gimelstob.
The 23-year-old Gambill has one ATP title to his credit (Scottsdale 1999); the 18-year-old Roddick, who turned pro this year, captured the 2000 Australian Open junior title with a blistering serve and punishing ground strokes; the 18-year-old Kim is the reigning NCAA champion; and Dent, like Roddick and Kim, is a teenager with plenty of world-class...dare I say it...potential.
Gambill, or "Hollywood" as he is known on the tour, is the men's equivalent to Anna Kournikova -- an underachieving tennis player and an overachieving sex symbol. The Spokane, Washington native recently posed shirtless as one of People magazine's "50 Most Beautiful People in the World 2000," very respectable plaudits for a man who has appeared in only two finals since turning pro in 1996.
But unlike Kournikova, at least Gambill has a trophy in his case.
The young Americans are gonna have to wait their turn, however, as Sampras and Agassi are hardly ready to hand the American tennis reins to the "next generation." And from what I can see, the latest batch of Americans is in no hurry to force out the Sampras' and Agassis of the world.
Of course American tennis has been strong as long as I can remember, since becoming a fan of the great game in the 1970s. Sampras' stellar group of fellow Americans was preceded by one that included legendary Hall-of-Famers John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors in the '70s and '80s. The U.S. has also featured the likes of stalwarts Stan Smith, Arthur Ashe, Vitas Gerulaitis and Roscoe Tanner over the last 30 years.
Is there another Sampras, Agassi, McEnroe or Connors in the Gambill-Roddick-Dent-Kim gang?
Remember that Sampras was 19 when he won his first U.S. Open, so it could be time for the young bucks to step up and show their stuff. And Agassi was 22 when he secured his first Slam title, the 1992 Wimbledon championship.
Surely Pete and Andre intend to stay on top of the American ledger for two or three more years, contending for the coveted majors and desired world No. 1 status. So this next generation of performers will have to press on and be patient, but at the same time, prove to the American fans and themselves that U.S. men do have a bright future in the sport.

The heavy, oily, dark-colored liquid called tar comes from wood, coal, bones, and other organic substances. It is made by the process called destructive distillation-subjecting the materials to intense heat in the absence of air. Coal tar is the source of some fabrics, many dyestuffs, and other useful products (see Coal-Tar Products).

The Fourth District Appellate Court recently found that the Department of Revenue correctly denied a property tax exemption where a charitable organization sold a property to a limited liability company formed by a concerned donor and then leased the property back under terms intended to have given the charity sufficient control over the property to qualify for an exemption. While the decision in OKO, LLC v. Department of Revenue involves a charitable organization, it may have several applications to school districts. First, charitable property tax exemptions are very similar to school property tax exemptions. Both types of property must be owned and used by the exempt organization. And, both types of property may not be leased or otherwise used with a view to a profit. Second, the decision instructs potential applicants on who should apply for an exemption in a lease situation. Finally, although the majority in OKO finds against granting an exemption, the dissent puts forward a strong argument for the exemption, which may be useful to school districts that find themselves in a similar situation in the future.
In 2007, the mortgage on the Old Kings Orchard Community Center (the "Center") in Decatur was going to be foreclosed. A local businessman who wanted to help the Center agreed to purchase the property through a for-profit, limited liability company and then lease the property back to the Center under terms intended to result in a continued tax exemption. OKO, LLC, the new owner of the property, applied for the exemption. The exemption was denied, however, because the property was not owned by a charitable organization.

The California Court of Appeal has reinforced a series of prior decisions, finding that a supplier of raw materials cannot be held liable under theories of negligence and strict product liability for injuries claimed to arise from the use of such raw materials in the manufacture of finished goods.
In Maxton v. Western States Metals, et al., No. B227000 (Cal. Ct. App., 2d Dist., 2/1/12), the plaintiff alleged personal injuries, resulting from his manufacturing work with raw metal products provided by the defendants. Specifically, the plaintiff alleged that he was exposed to "toxicologically significant amounts of toxic fumes and dust" in his work with the raw materials and that the defendants failed to warn of and fraudulently concealed this hazard. In ruling on demurrers and motions for judgment on the pleadings, the trial court found that these assertions failed to state facts sufficient to state a cause of action against such raw materials suppliers.
The Court of Appeal agreed, relying primarily on the Component Parts Doctrine, as expressed in Section 5 of the Restatement Third of Torts, Product Liability, and its analysis, as expressed in Artigilio v General Electric Company (1998) 61 Cal.App.4th 830.

How to handle a Facebook bully or stalker
An anonymous reader has been getting a lot of unwanted, and potentially frightening, attention on Facebook. I offer some advice.
If someone on Facebook continually insults you, upsets you, threatens you, or makes unwanted sexual advances, ask them to stop. If they do, fine. If not, you've got a stalker.
First, ask yourself if you feel physically threatened. If the bully is threatening you with violence, or stalking you in the physical world, or coming to your home, the problem is beyond cyberbullying. You need to call the police.Read more »
