Sarawak Report is an investigative journalism online news resource that offers "an alternative vision of justice, transparency and a fairer future in Sarawak."[3] It is based in London.
Sarawak Report describes itself as "a group of citizens and onlookers deeply concerned by the situation in Sarawak, East Malaysia." It was founded by Clare Rewcastle Brown, sister-in-law of former UK prime minister Gordon Brown. In 2013, Bridget Welsh, a political science professor at Singapore Management University and an expert on Malaysian affairs, credited Sarawak Report for its "impact on the political debate" over deforestation in Sarawak.[4] and the New York Times called Ms Rewcastle Brown "one of the most effective voices calling attention to deforestation in Malaysia"[5]
Sarawak Report editor, Rewcastle Brown was barred from entering Sarawak in July 2013. She arrived at Kuching International Airport in Sarawak, only to be detained at the airport and put back on a plane for Singapore.[5] The Chief Minister of Sarawak, Abdul Taib Mahmud is known to bar his critics from entering the Sarawak state.[6]
In 2010, Rewcastle Brown also set up sister organisation Radio Free Sarawak, an independent radio station that brings alternative news for 2 hours a day via shortwave to remote indigenous communities in Sarawak, East Malaysia.[7] The radio show won the IPI International Press Institute Free Media Pioneers Award 2013[8]
Major exposés[edit]
Sarawak Report was dubbed as the "Wikileaks of Sarawak" following its chain of exposés of alleged land grabs by the family of Sarawak's chief minister Abdul Taib Mahmud and their international property empire.[9][10]
Taib Mahmud family overseas property[edit]
In June 2010, Sarawak Report began its first exposé by publishing an article detailing about Canadian properties owned by the family of Taib Mahmud.[11] This was followed by subsequent exposés on his properties in United States[12] and London.[13] Taib Mahmud's former aide, Ross Boyert was the major source for Sarawak Report on the Taib family property empire in the United States.[14] Exposés by Sarawak Report have led to investigations by Germany, Switzerland, United Kingdom, and Canada into Taib family alleged assets.[15]
Bakun Dam construction methods[edit]
In April 2011, Sarawak Report claimed that its website was hacked after it reported that Chinese dam constructor Sinohydro had used faulty construction methods when building the Bakun Dam, one of the largest dams in Asia.[16] Sinohydro later acknowledged their flawed construction procedures in building the dam.[17]
FBC Media scandal[edit]
In August 2011, an investigation by Sarawak Report revealed that FBC Media, a media production company had been acting as a public relations firm for Malaysian politicians including Abdul Taib Mahmud and Najib Tun Razak.[18] The exposé caused BBC and CNBC to sever their relationships with FBC Media,[19][20] and resulted in FBC Media going into administration on 24 October 2011.[21] The BBC later issued a worldwide apology and revised its commissioning procedures after the revelation that it had been commissioning programming from FBC at token prices, which the company had then used as a PR platform for its business and political clients.[22]
Musa Aman timber corruption[edit]
In April 2012, Sarawak Report published a series of leaked documents from Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC), alleging the business relation between Musa Aman, who is the Sabah Chief Minister, and Michael Chia, the middleman in managing kickbacks for timber companies' operations inside the Sungai Pinangah Forest Reserve, in Sabah. Michael Chia was caught trying to smuggle SGD 16 million out of Hong Kong in 2008. Abdul Gani Patail, the Attorney General of Malaysia who is related to the Musa Aman family, was accused of trying to block the MACC investigation.[23][24] Swiss authorities cooperated with their counterparts in Hong Kong in the investigation of the Musa Aman case.[25]
Riza Aziz and Red Granite Pictures[edit]
The Sarawak Report ran a series of exposes on Riza Aziz, stepson of Prime Minister Najib Tun Razak, and how he managed to get millions in funding for his film production company Red Granite Pictures. The production company was involved with funding the Oscar nominated movie, The Wolf of Wall Street to a tune of US$100 million.[26][27] Also reported was Aziz's purchase of a US$33.5 million luxury condominium in New York in November 2012.[28] Red Granite Pictures has threatened legal action against Sarawak Report, but no action has been taken so far.[29]
1Malaysia Development Berhad[edit]
The Sarawak Report ran several reports about 1Malaysia Development Berhad (1MDB), a strategic development fund supported by the Malaysian government and its business dealings. One such report was made about joint venture deal had been initiated by Jho Low, a Penang-born financier and his team on September 8, 2009 between 1MDB and PetroSaudi International, and how Jho Low allegedly siphoned off US$700 million from the deal into an account controlled by him.[30][31] PetroSaudi has denied the reports, while 1MDB has denied any connections with Jho Low.[32][33]
Media attention[edit]
In December 2011, Rewcastle Brown was featured on Canadian Global News TV on a programme entitled "Family Trees" which highlighted the Taib family property company SAKTO Corporation in Canada.[34] In September 2012, Rewcastle Brown was featured on AlJazeera's 101 East[35] and SBS Dateline "The Last Frontier" which focused on Australian investment in Sarawak's dam and timber business with links to Taib's cousin Hamed Sepawi.[36]

BVI Moorings Charter - Suggestions?
Hi Mike,
Wife and I have chartered in the Caribbean since 1993.
First boat was a 45'' Irwin Ketch. Big enough for the 4 adults and three children. Two berths, bunks on the port side and the salon. More then enough room. Also had a forward berthing area very forward. We kept this open for the bad ones on board.!!!
With six adults I would suggst a bigger boat.
Last two charters we had six adults. Chartered a 50'' Beneteau with four berths and four heads. Other one was a smaller Dufore.
Would recommend the bigger boat just for comfort. Small areas tend to close in after a time.
As for what charter company. Had no issues with Sunsail, North/South or Tradewinds.(older boats). Almost all larger charter companies are okay and no doubt the smaller ones are also.(no experience with smaller ones).
As mentioned in previous responses BVI''s are great. Wife and I did it by ourselves second time out in Guadeloupe and had no problems. Found that one is more alert and aware of surroundings as one enters an area for the night. As a result we never and I mean never had a problem. We discussed and made decisions together as with the other charters with friends/family.
Jan. & Feb. can be a bit challenging due to winds. Would suggest Feb. middle to end if high winds & wind gusts bother you and that is the time your set on going.
Much more fun and satisfying when you make your own decisions.
Final decision is yours.
Good sailing.

Strength of evidence and missing benchmarks
Well, TPC-H is more about warehousing type of queries, it is no TPC-C, and I believe the article tells only one half of the story, that about CPU use optimisation. The other half is columnwise data storage, and that helps optimise I/O.
Standard Postgres does not have column storage, so it would fare no better than Oracle, but its derivatives Netezza and Greenplum just might. Then again, Sybase IQ is on the list, with rather unimpressive results.
Also, it would be interesting to see how the CWI's own column store database MonetDB performs.

Can You Tell The Difference
2010-01-28 by Guy Kent
I know how the Senior Rabbi of the First Synagogue of Nazareth felt. Last year I invited Walter Kimbrough to preach at my church. It was a memorable day.
He helped me with the Children's Time by being my visual aid. There we stood before the kids assembled on the front pew, I am five foot six; he's five foot seventeen. I had on a plain old black robe; he wore a bedazzling robe with trimmings that virtually sparkled. I asked the young folks: "Do you notice any difference in Dr. Kimbrough and me?"
They did. One of the kids pointed out he was taller. "Great," I said, "anything else?" Another pointed out the difference in our robes. "Great. Anything else?" Someone called attention to the fact I was older. "That's good. Anything else?" I had a lapel mike; he was holding a hand mike. "Anything else?" I had black loafers; he wore brown lace-up shoes. "Anything else?" Finally they exhausted, apparently, the differences. "Doesn't anyone notice something else different?" There was silence.
"It's okay to say it," I finally said in a stage whisper.
One of the braver kids then responded, "He's black."
I can't help but wonder how long it took the occupants of the pews that Sabbath in Nazareth to notice something was different.
At my church, that morning, there was another difference. I'm an adequate purveyor of the Word. I manage to keep the saints awake on Sunday morning, but Walter Kimbrough awakened them to a new level of listening. He dominated them. He demanded they pay attention. They didn't even notice he had not reached his last point until a half hour past the normal time for the benediction.
When Walter came to our church things were different, the message and the messenger.
So it was that day in Nazareth, for when the message is Jesus' message the response is never ordinary.
The church I served prior to my retirement was an inner city congregation with a commitment to social justice and diversity. It was a church composed of red and yellow black and white, straight and gay. That church was so diverse I suspect a few of those attending on any given Sunday actually prayed, "To whom may concern."
It was early one Monday morning when I was changing the wording on the church's sign. Ron and Barbara approached me. They were a homeless couple who lived in the park across the street. Each morning they'd bring their bedroll to store at the church until they returned from their panhandling. This particular morning they stopped. They stared at me as I changed the sign. Finally, I paused.
"Pastor, did you tell Leroy he could sleep on the church breezeway last night?" Leroy was another homeless citizen of the neighborhood.
"I did."
In unison Ron and Barbara shook their heads from side to side as Ron told me, "Pastor, we don't need Leroy's kind at our church."
Strange that these two incidents in my ministry pop into my mind on reading this lesson. Or, maybe it is not so strange. When Jesus brings us the message he often leads us to consider "a widow in Zarephath in the region of Sidon" and Naaman the Syrian leper and Leroy on the breezeway. When Jesus in the messenger, that message leads us right through the crowd of our insecurities and prejudices.
2010-01-27 by Stephen Schuette
One recurrent theme in the readings has to do with maturity. Jeremiah claims he is only a "boy." But God is expecting mature things of him: to speak without fear and to be public in his proclamations, even to the point of addressing "kingdoms."
Paul confesses that when he was a child he also functioned in every way as a child. But then he put an end to childish ways. And what a sense of maturity it takes to love in the way that Paul suggests! The key to hearing this passage, I think, is to get over the wedding setting where the blessing of being loved is central. Sure, this is about God's abundant, gracious agape love for us. But it's a gift that carries a weight of adult responsibility with it: not to receive and let it be but to move outward toward the other with one's love, to live into this kind of love with the conviction that it endures, even though that's not always the way it appears. When love gets hard that's where the mettle of love is proved. And as we've tried God's love for us, so we are to show such patient maturity in our love for one another. That's, in fact, what it would mean if we forgave our debtors as God has forgiven our debts (or trespasses, or sins).
Then we come to Luke where questions of both public ministry and maturity come into focus. Is it a surprise that a life-journey that leads to a cross should also begin with confrontation? This story flows out of the temptations that precede it, only here the temptation remains implicit even though it is powerfully present. It's the temptation that afflicts every one with a degree of immaturity, the temptation to be affirmed, to get one's sense of self supported by the accolades of others, to fulfill their expectations and receive the accompanying pats on the back. From the outside it might seem as if Jesus is just being intentionally and even unnecessarily provocative. But I think he's beating back a "devil" that tempts every one. The adults with whom he grew up in the synagogue want him to still be their "boy" by now being their friend in high places. It's a path that leads only backwards, both for Jesus and them and Jesus will have none of it. He is not dependent on their affirmations for his sense of self.
There's an old book by Sheldon B. Kopp entitled, If You Meet the Buddha on the Road, Kill Him. While the focus of that book is purely about psychological development and Jesus' movement is much larger the dynamics are similar. But even the image suggested in the title fits. The way ahead on the road can be blocked. It will take courage and an avoidance of immature dependency to follow Jesus "…on his way."
Post-Sermon Reflection
2010-01-24 by David von Schlichten
The sermon today stressed unity. At our congregation we have much unity, but we also have some division. For instance, we have a bit of a problem with cliques that tend to exclude people, usually inadvertently. I preached about all this, concluding with a celebration of how Christ makes us one and continues to strengthen us to live according to the unity that he has created in us.
I did receive positive comments about the sermon, including one parishioner agreeing that we do have some clique-ishness.
On another note, five minutes before worship a couple told me that they are leaving our congregation but would not give a clear reason why. They did not appear to be angry, but they were resolute. Heartbreaking. What did the congregation/I do wrong, if anything?
Yours in Christ,

[Adventure]: Turning the Tide (DM: Dimsdale, Judge ??)
Welcome everyone to the adventure
Turning the Tide
1. Eva: Elf Wizard L3 (Dekana)
2. Ignus Ironband: Kobald Monk L1 (Rapida)
3. Merri: Vampire L3 (FourMonos)
4. Graven: Warfored Hybrid Swordmage/Wizard L2 (VanderLegion)
As you enter the room you notice a stout human dressed in robes sitting at a table with chairs enough for five others not including the one the man sits in now. No one else is in the room except him. Torch light radiats the room. In front of the man is a large tome containing scribed notes in his own writing. There is also a large container of wine with glasses for six. He has poured a glass from himself already.
1. Borrowed from H.M.Gimlord and Mal Malenkirk...and Johnmeier1
2. I've also borrowed Voda Vosa's map tool idea. In combat, you are allow to move your own token when you perform a move action. If you damage an enemy, you can deduct the amount of hp you cause to the creature.
Player Info: Include mini stat blocks in your posts. Mini-stat blocks allow you to keep track of your own healing surges, power usages, acquired items, etc... without having to ask the DM all the time. It's not the end of the world if you forget, but please be sure to include it when you are posting an action block. It also make it easier for me to check basic stats.
Example mini-stats:
Triggers: Fox's Cunning Trigger - Immediate Reaction to the First Enemy that attacks me in melee
Status: Bloodied
Init: +5 Speed: 5 Perception:22 Insight: 20
HP: 30/61 Surges: 4/8 Surge Value: 15 AP: 1
Languages: Allarian, Imperia, Draconic
Str:8 Dex:14 Wis:14 Con:14 Int:10 Cha:22
At Will - Jinx Shot, Cutting Words
Encounter - Second Wind,
Fox's Cunning, Twin Strike, Grappling Spirits, Hunter's Quarry, Majestic Word (0/2), Words of Friendship, Chord of Dissonance, Rhyme of the Blood-Seeking Blade, Virtue of Prescience
Daily -
Arrow of Ill Omen, Arrow of Warning, Bracers of Archery, Inevitable Shot, Songbow of Vanishment, Warding Arrow
Full Character Sheet
Passive checks: I will use Perception and Insight and put information in private sblocks for certain players. If you are not one of the intended characters, please do not read these spoilers. The character, however, is welcome to, in character, reveal the contents of the spoiler to the others in game, remember that talking is a free action (but keep in short)
Players roll initiative individually, bad guys roll one initiative roll
Players with higher init than bad guys go first then all the bad guys go
Then all the players go. From this point, we alternate players vs bad guys
Good guy turns happen in first post - first acted order.
Illegal post-overs will be resolved in that round
Legal post-overs stand even if each didn't know the other was posting (Please use Go Advanced or Preview Post to avoid this)
DM Posts during combat will include:
Status of all players, monsters, NPCs etc... indicating Name, Location, HP/MaxHP, State, Healing Surges Left, Action Points left (i.e.:: Arkavas I6 -1/41 Dying HS 0 AP 1)
Map in the form of a grid, hopefully with coordinates
Enemy Mini Stat Blocks including HP, AC, Fort, Refl, Will, Immunities, Resistance, and Basic Attack. If there are more specialized powers, I will post them at the time of their use. Trigger powers for bad guys. If you provoke an AoO or a listed power during your turn you can roll the result (it will make less work for the DM and give you a rapid response)
Time: II will give players 48 hours to post, at the end of which time I reserve the right to RP the player's character on his behalf. I will use the most appropriate actions and At-Will powers only.
Exceptions: If you will be out for a long time and unable to post, please let the party know and assign responsibility to either myself or another, willing player for RPing your character, or I can write in a scenario that takes you out of the picture until your return (The former is preferred).
Treasure: Keep a wish list on your character sheet up to date with what you would like, and I'll try to accommodate within reason. Items will be given relative to player level. Parcel Gold/Items will be evenly divided at the end.
Die Rolling: Roll your dice on Invisible Castle. If invisible castle is down, you can also use the Enworld Dice roller (but please select the SMALLER results in your profile) In IC, highlight the die roll in your post and use the 'Insert Link' button to post a link to your die rolls.
Out of Character Content: Post out of character content (i.e.: complaints, tactics, mechanics, etc...) in a spoiler with the letters 'OOC' in the title or the OOC tag.
ooc: Please introduce yourselves in character and provide your statblock with the post.

The rusty metal man in the tavern wears a worn-out tuxedo, which are severely torn at the heels and knees. Great tears run down the shoulder blades where two transparent cylinders protrude from, which seem to be filled with a dark red liquid. One sleeve has been completely torn off, to reveal a rusty arm with a huge syringe as larger than his forearm attached to it.
A cracked monocle covers one of his glowing eyes, which are currently an uplifting blue. A shabby top hat rests squarely on his head. He even carries around a crooked walking cane.
The comical attire contrasts strongly when matched with his intimidating presence. The rusty metal man croaks: "Uhh..me Kruor, you can call me Corey. Because Kruor hard to say. Hurr hurr hurr. Oh, wine...me pour..."
As he reaches for the container of wine, you can clearly see that his fingertips have been replaced with syringes, each tipped with a large piece of cork, probably to prevent any accidents.
Carefully, he pours the wine into four of the remaining five glasses. He offers the wine to the rest of the party, but doesn't pour anymore for himself. "Err...me sorry." he says apologetically to the robed human. "Me only drink blood." he said bluntly. "My daddy was a vampire!"
"Me never catch your name, by the way..."

The kobold walks in muttering about not being any sort of motley, "I'm purely kobold, I ain't never had nothing to do with no motley." He stops his grumbling when faced with the badly dressed mechanical monstrosity, "Welp dat's new, I don't usually drank but that dah-serves an exception." After looking it over, he obviously decides that it is safe to drink with.
He stands on a chair in his tattered robe and sandals, "I'm Ignus Ironbrand, bet yah can figure out why." He looks up towards his forehead where a large ugly symbol is branded. He pours himself a glass, quickly downs it, and begins to pour another in all one smooth motion. For someone who "hardly ever drinks," he looks to have some practice.

Another large warforged pushes his way into the room from the hallway. He looks around the room, taking in the strangely dressed robot and the branded kobold, then takes a place at the table. He peers at the glass in front of him, but doesn't move to pick it up to drink. "I am called Graven. I hear you have need of help for a job," he says to the human.StatsGraven Male Warforged Hybrid Swordmage/Wizard (Good)

An elf girl steps into the room only a few moments after Graven. She carries a large staff with a crystal at the end and wears a spellbook in a pouch at her waist.
"Am I in the right place for the job?" asks Eva as she looks around. "I was expecting to see more heroes and less..." She trails off as she looks at the vampire-warforged and the kobold. "... uh, monsters."
"No matter! I'm Eva, and I'll be your mage for the trip. Please take good care of me!"

The robed looks up and squints, trying to take a look at the new recruits Excuse me...now where did I put my glasses. Moving the large book he sees them and puts them on. Ah...yes, let's what who we have here...hmmmm...yes...in such short notice I believe the bartender did well. Looking at the empty chair, I'm sure I asked for five. Is there another one coming? Not waiting for an answer he states. Welcome everyone. I'm brother Navio, priest and servant of Lauto. I have much to tell you, but I prefer to wait until everyone has arrived. Please feel free to converse and have more wine. He turns back to his book and shifts some papers around as if he's preparing himself for a presentation.

When Navio suggest more wine, Ignus jumps at the oppurtunity but gets a suspicious look at the last second, "We ain't gonna be runnin' up no tab drinkin' 'dis wine are we? Don't want to drink away all the profit till we done with the thing."

Sandip Basu, managing director and chief executive officer of Loop Mobile, is said to have quit following Airtel's deal to take over the company, though he continues to attend office, according to sources.
When contacted, Basu in a text message denied he has quit, but did not take calls made to his cellphone.
According to those familiar with the deal, Basu has been given a severance package by Airtel, equal to his annual package but the amount could even be lower as there are several performance indicators to earn that one-year package, said a source not wanting to be identified.
According to market estimates, Basu's annual package was in the vicinity of Rs 2.5-Rs 3 crore.
A few key persons including Basu at Loop Mobile have been given retention fee in addition to their salaries by Airtel to stay till the time the takeover happens so that the customer base does not shrink further, according to a source.
Under the deal struck in February, Airtel will take over the customer base of Loop but not its employees.
"The agreement between Airtel and Loop has been only to the extent of its customer base and does not include the employees (of Loop)," said a company spokesperson at Airtel.
Job uncertainty after the Airtel deal has forced several Loop employees to look for other avenues. Interestingly, barring a few, most employees are not even aware that the deal with Airtel is only in lieu of customer-base and does not involve absorbing the existing 350 Loop employees within Airtel.
Meantime, the cash-strapped Loop, with over Rs 600 crore bank exposures, continues to face severe financial crunch leading to pending vendor bill payments and service issues. That explains the frequent call-drops for Loop subscribers.
The news of Loop exit and scouting for partners to swap its customer base for cash was first reported by dna in its December 3, 2013, edition.

The falling quality of service at Loop has made over one lakh consumers migrate to other telcos as of March, according to the data published by the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai). The present consumer base as of March stands at 2.89 million from its November 2013 levels of 3 million. Incidentally, the Cellular Operators' Association of India data shows the consumer base of Loop constant at 3 million for the last couple of months.
Meanwhile, Loop management has opted to remain non-committal towards its employees and many have begun jumping out of the sinking ship. "Most middle-management employees from corporate sales and relationship have found greener pastures in Vodafone. Others have time till the formal nod comes from the Department of Telecommunications for the Airtel-Loop agreement.
"As of now, the approval (to the deal) is awaited," said the Airtel spokesperson.
Till then, employees of Loop are hoping Modi government's growth policy would open new vistas for the redundant Loop Mobile staffers.

Phishing Attacks Targeting India Doubled in H1 2011
The report is a reflection of current trends on Phishing as seen through the eyes of Paladion Security Operations Center (SOC).
BENGALURU (PRWEB) August 12, 2011
Phishing threats in Inda doubles during the first half of 2011: Paladion Labs, the research innovation engine within Paladion, today released its report on "ËœPhishing Threat Intelligence' for H1 2011. This report on phishing is a reflection of current trends as seen through the eyes of Paladion Security Operations Center (SOC) for the region.
"Though financially motivated attacks continue to grow unabated across the globe, Phishing attacks targeting banks and other financial organizations have seen a slight decline in the global scenario. But the same doesn't hold true for India and to an extent ME, the first half of this year has witnessed an alarming increase in number of phishing threats arising from sophisticated attacks and branded as Advanced Persistent Threats" said Vinod Vasudevan, COO & Co-Founder, Paladion Networks. "This document provides an insight to all phishing attacks that were detected and responded to by Paladion SOC from different perspectives "" the current trends in launching attacks, user's response to phishing baits and what Banks can do to minimize phishing related frauds," he informed.
Some Key Findings of the Report
- The United States continues to host the highest number of phishing attacks
- Average life of phishing site varied from 5-19 hours
- Phishers most active during the holiday season
- Nearly 80% of phishing sites get less than 10 victims

Excel 2007 is part of Microsoft's Office 2007. Sometimes, when Microsoft releases a new version of Excel, the changes are very minor. Excel 2007 is a major update. This page shows you what you can expect if you switch to Excel 2007.
New look
The entire menu system in Excel has been reworked. Look at the sample screens below, and you will notice that the traditional menus have gone, replaced by a "ribbon" — a series of tabs and command groupings.
When you first switch to the new version of Excel, expect it to take longer than usual to find the commands you want to use.
Old version of Excel (Excel 2003)
Excel 2007
New features
The ribbon in Excel 2007 brings a lot of features from earlier versions of Excel out into the open and makes them simpler to use. Formatting in particular is much improved — there are new Gallery formats, more graph formats, and just generally a slicker visual interface. For a good overview of new features, see this Microsoft page.

Wonderful Condo for our Family vacation
A peaceful tropical get away with every amenity.
Upon arrival we realized that we neglected to bring the detailed information Gloria had sent us about how to get into the condo. We needed to then call Gloria and Dan for assistance to get into the condo and to get settled. She and her husband thankfully answered the phone right away. It was 10:30 pm for us, and we were exhausted after a long day of travel. Of further assistance, there is a second copy of this information available on site. Gloria has thought of everything in her write up to include what you need to know while staying in her condo to suggestions for restaurants and various recommended attractions.
We especially appreciated the screened patio over-looking the pool, and at second story level it framed the top of palm trees and other tropical plants. The stairs from the patio provide you easy access to the pool (which we very much enjoyed.) We ate meals at the table on the patio, and enjoyed the moonlit evenings. The condo also has easy access to the beach and pier. My 12 year old son fished from the pier and without much difficulty caught mangrove snappers. It continued to be fun to fish after dark as there is lighting in the water under the dock illuminating what ever swims up. Lobster season opened while we were there and it was delightful to watch people come in with their catch. While we fished we had the company of a beautiful large white crane. I am an artist, and therefore enjoyed the artwork displayed in the condo and was able to photograph spectacular sunsets daily.
There are 2 grocery stores nearby, and the kitchen is well supplied with cooking utensils making it easy to prepare meals.
We just want to especially comment that Gloria and Dan were the most genuinely nice people to rent from. They really made an effort to assure that we had a wonderful vacation, which we did. Thank you, Gloria and Dan.
Beautiful condo!
Warmest regards,
Gloria Bentzinger

Anyone here have this? Basically my nose and forehead are red, flaky, and itchy. Now the tops of my fingers are too. Nowhere else. This has been going on for two months. Oddly, it goes away if I'm off (weekends, holiday vacation), then flares back up at work. Ha ha, maybe I'm allergic to work. But seriously: I am wracking my brain trying to fig. out what the hell I'm in contact with or allergic to and nothing. My dumb dermatologist gave me steroids, which did help, and a cream, which also helped, but I can't take steroids forever. The allergist I saw insists it's a dermatological problem. Anyone know how to deal with this?? I am about to scratch my skin off.

UWRF Earth Week Events Start April 21
By Jonathan Drankwalter
APRIL 14, 2008--University of Wisconsin-River Falls students are coming together to help the community and to bring awareness about environmental issues during Earth Week, April 21-25.
With Earth Week quickly approaching, students from the University of Wisconsin-River Falls Earth Consciousness Organization (ECO Club) have been working diligently to put together several campus events available to students and the community.
The ECO Club will kick off Earth Week by sponsoring the Earth Day Extravaganza on Monday, April 21. This event will take place from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Falcon's Nest within the University Center. The day will begin with a film showing of the "Seas of Grass."
The Energy Contest and Recyclemania results and awards will follow the film showing, between 11 a.m. and noon. Sponsored by the Resident Living, Area Council, Student Senate, and the Eco Club, the Energy Contest is a contest between the residence halls to increase awareness about energy consumption and provides easy ways to reduce the amount of energy that students use.
In its second year, the event is split into three sections: electricity, water, and steam consumption. The winning residence hall in each category will receive a $250 reward.
Recyclemania is a nationwide contest with 400 other colleges and universities to create student awareness about the importance of waste reduction. UWRF is currently on pace to break last year's results in the Per Capita Classic for pounds per person.
From 12 p.m. to 2 p.m. April 21, there will be a demonstration of Bottle Biology, in which ECO Club members will show students how to make self-watering pots out of recycled bottles and plant them with seeds.
Rusty Callier, who is a manufacturing manager of Uponor North America, a supplier of radiant heat and cooling systems, will be the keynote speaker at the Earth Day Extravaganza April 21 with time to be announced.
Earth Day is officially observed on April 22, and to commemorate this day, the ECO Club is sponsoring a campus trash clean-up event. Students and community members are encouraged to meet in front of the University Center at 5 p.m. These volunteers will help clean up the campus, as well as along the South Fork of the Kinnickinnic River, in order to preserve its scenic beauty.
On April 23, the Eco Club will sponsor its 3rd annual "Drive to Not Drive" event from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the lawn in front of the University Center. The club encourages students, faculty and community members to leave their cars at home and take alternative modes of transportation during the day.
Becky Alexander, a junior field biology major from Firth, Neb., and who is helping to coordinate the events, said, "It may be carpooling, taking public transportation, walking, biking, or anything else. It is an easy way to help reduce your environmental impact." The club is providing free breakfast, free bicycle tune-ups, free prizes and stickers, and environmental information.
On April 24, a Prairie Project will kick off at 3 p.m. Participants are invited to meet in front of the University Center to take part in re-seeding an area of land behind the University Center and the Wyman Education Building. The land will be either weeded or burned, depending on the weather, and then re-seeded to be turned into native grasses and forbs that have been donated by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources seed farm in Baldwin.
On April 25, UWRF biology professor John Wheeler will lead a garlic mustard pull to get an early start on keeping a patch of garlic mustard, a non-native invasive species, non under control. Anyone interested in participating should meet in front of the University Center at 4 p.m.
Friday night the ECO Club will wrap up Earth Week events with a celebratory campfire at 7 p.m. at the university's amphitheater.
"It's our moral responsibility to ensure that our actions will fulfill and not jeopardize future needs," said Alexander. "Earth Week is a way for students to learn more about their impact on the environment and apply their knowledge in simple, eco-friendly way that will help reduce that impact."

Jack Marshall | February 10, 2011 | Comments
Real-time based media buying will make up 8 percent of online display ad spend this year, Forrester suggests.
Advertisers spent over $350 million on real-time bidded inventory in the U.S. last year, but investment in the emerging practice will more than double in 2011 to reach $823 million, representing 8 percent of online display ad spend, according to Forrester research.
Commissioned by RTB platform provider Admeld, the market researcher issued a report today titled RTB Hits The Mainstream, which suggests 2011 will be a "banner year" for real time exchange-based buying following its "coming of age" in 2010.
The report predicts further growth in investment will be driven by increased participation from premium publishers, whose inventory is in increasing demand from media buyers. "Agencies and clients tell us that they're looking to build bigger, deeper relationships with fewer partners," it posits.
Forrester states the emergence of private exchanges, in which only selected parties will be invited to participate, will help aid that process. That trend could encourage an influx of premium inventory from publishers previously wary that their involvement may cannibalize their other sales channels such as direct relationships. The emergence of more premium inventory will also drive investment from major brand advertisers, the report predicts, helped by the continued rise of ad verification services promising to protect brands from buying inappropriate media placements.
Despite continued scrutiny from the FTC and Congress surrounding real-time bidding - more specifically the behavioral data collection that is associated with it - Forrester says the self-regulatory efforts currently being implemented by firms such as Evidon and TRUSTe will help assuage fears from regulators and consumers alike. Despite those efforts, however, browser manufacturers have recently begun rolling out privacy solutions of their own, which continue to threaten the future of real time bidding.
The report notes other hurdles that could hinder growth of the practice. For instance, in spite of the predicted involvement of more premium publishers, Forrester suggests many advertisers still perceive inventory on the exchanges to be of poor quality and potentially less "brand-safe" than other sources such as networks.
It also states the continued complexity of the real time bidding ecosystem is difficult for agencies and publishers to navigate, given the range of players in the market. "Advertisers and publishers must navigate a complex technology stack to participate," it states.
It's the combination of those technologies that some players, including Google, are attempting to streamline and package, lowering the bar for involvement from smaller agencies or advertisers. Its ownership of tools such as demand side platform Invite Media, and its DoubleClick ad exchange could eventually offer advertisers a one stop shop for real time media buying.
Speaking at an Advertising Week event in New York in September, Neal Mohan, Google's VP of product management, said real-time transactions on the DoubleClick Exchange more than doubled in the twelve months prior, and predicted 50 percent of targeted ads will be bought using real-time bidding technologies by 2015.

Local athletes sign letters of intent.
Churchill's Annie Roberts, a first-team all-Midwestern League basketball player, signed a letter of intent on Wednesday to play for Southwest Missouri State, which reached the NCAA Women's Final Four last season.
Roberts averaged 13.2 points, 4.5 rebounds, 3.6 assists, and 3.2 steals as a junior for the Lancers.
Marist's Kate Saltmarsh, a first-team all-state player last year, is expected to sign a letter of intent with the University of Nevada. Officials at Nevada said they had no signings to announce as of Wednesday, but Saltmarsh is expected to sign this week.

The buzz says that Shakeela and Suji Bala were in the temple last evening to get the darshan of the goddess but as they got inside the temple, they garnered unwanted attention from public. Report also add that one of the two actresses fell when people surrounded them and the temple authorities were helpless to control the madness of the crazy fans.
Later, police came to the spot to clear the mob and gave protection to the two actresses that helped them to move on with their plans. Both Shakeela and Suji Bala had the special darshan and prayed to the god. They spent three hours in Angala Parameswari Temple.

Why only 2 year ending titles though?
The number the ATP has is wrong. I have a list of all his matches. He was astounding. Like I wrote, they didn't list so many of the old WCT tournament and other tournaments besides that. The ATP records only go back to 1973 I believe, perhaps 1968 in some cases. They only list Pancho Gonzalez with 3 tournaments won in his career.
You can't go by the ATP records. They try their best but it's often inaccurate.
Remember he started playing at a young age. His 1979 year was a year for the ages. He won the French, Wimbledon, the Canadian Open (beating McEnroe in straight sets on hard court), the Year End Masters and a total of 21 tournaments. I have always thought that on this year alone Borg deserved to get into the Hall of Fame. Compare it to Rafter's
in which he won 11 tournaments and 2 US Opens. Borg in 1979 did far more than Rafter did in his entire career and Rafter's in the Hall of Fame. Borg didn't just beat people that year he destroyed them. Borg destroyed players for a number of years. For example he won the 1978 French and only lost 32 games for the whole tournament without losing a set. I believe he holds the record for most love sets in a career as far as we know. Maybe Tilden could have surpassed that but records were not kept.
So understand that Borg won 106 tournaments by age 25. That is stunning. He was that great.

My husband did the repair so I'm not sure about tools used; however, I placed the order and was EXTREMELY pleased with the ease of ordering and speed of delivery. Our order came the next day! The online directions made the water actuator repair so much easier! Only challenge, according to my husband, was the short water hose. Thanks for the great service!
