I think most beachcat sailors will sympathize with your fiasco (good name by the way), but believe me you will learn from every mistake on the catamaran and never make them again. After a dozen times sailing you'll feel like a pro and feel the boat as though it was a part of you, and be able to anticipate all the sail trim and adjustments to make in the weather. I just sold my P16 and have a big monohull. Although now that it's easier to get others to come out sailing, I miss that speed of 2 hulls.
Great work man! Give yourself a lot of credit.
Oh and to chime in from earlier, definitely wait on getting trap wires, of all the times I used them, it was only necessary (windy enough) just once.
Hey, thanks Philzy! I have to say that the feel of the boat was really awesome. Flying the hull was just one of the most amazing feelings ever. I started to get a sense of the balance. Still lots to learn for sure, but I can't wait to get back out.
I'll take the advice and hold off on the traps.
Stay tuned for hull #2 - then...Fiasco 2.0!!!!

Cool pennant race factoid of the day
Sep 24, 2012, 11:00 AM EDT
Bob Nightengale got this one from Elias:
Meanwhile, the Yankees and the Orioles have been winning and losing practically in tandem. They haven't been separated by more than one game in the standings since Sept. 3. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, that's the longest such streak in September or later since 1889 .
That's cool, and I like that two teams are in a fight for the division title and that it matters.
There are other factoids in that piece, mostly surrounding the scramble for the wild card. I think that's all fun, but in reality, most of the these sorts of things — team comes from the farthest back! — are the product of expanded playoffs and the notion that it is now the case that even the mildly-above-average will have a legit shot until the final week almost every year.
It's excitement of a type, but it's a function of the process, not a function of baseball teams doing anything different than they ever have before.

The remaining schedule seems to slightly favor the Yankees (upsetting as an O's fan), but I hope it stays this exciting all the way down the stretch. I just wish the O's/Yanks played one more series, oh well.
- kopy - Sep 24, 2012 at 11:16 AM
Don't worry, the Yankees are rolling into Minneapolis and about to enter a world of pain!
Jk, sorry O's fans :-/
- ptfu - Sep 24, 2012 at 11:49 AM
The Yankees are entering a world of pain? Apparently Gardenhire will channel his inner John Goodman. The Yankees had better toe the line…

It'd be cool in a totally bizarro-world kind of way if the Yankees have to play a one-game play off because the friggin' Orioles won the division.

No it wouldn't.

If this were the Red Sox in 2nd place, you could have easily expected them to roll over and take 2nd place like like the 1st losers they always want to be.
I'm glad Baltimore is keeping this thing tight and not letting New York bully their way to the top.
Go O's!

You mean by winning ball games?
- stabonerichard - Sep 24, 2012 at 4:01 PM
I wish MLB would have left things alone, rather than add the 2nd wild card spot.
The Yankees & Orioles are both going to make the postseason. Why should they have to worry about who wins the division? They oughtta be taking it easy the final week of the season, getting the starting rotation in order and making sure the bullpen arms are fresh. Hell, instead of Buck Showalter hosting Saturday night karoake for the boys (Buck's rendition of Slayer's Angel of Death is impeccable), they might be stuck preparing for the Sunday afternoon finale.
Besides, who wants to see the A's in the playoffs? Moneyballs does not work in the postseason.
And why should Milwaukee fans be distracted by the Brew Crew catching fire of late to make a run at the 2nd wild card spot? Lame. They should have been able to tune out after the AS break, which would've allowed them to be 100% geared up for Packers football by now.

The 2014 FIFA World Cup has just kicked off, and after the opening match it's already a bigger phenom than this year's Academy Awards on social networks.
According to Facebook, the opening match Thursday -- Brazil's 3-1 defeat of Croatia -- generated 58 million comments and more than 140 million interactions. That's nearly five times as many posts as ABC's Oscars telecast in March.
SEE ALSO: ESPN Will Live-Stream All 64 Matches of the 2014 World Cup
Twitter, meanwhile, said the Brazil-Croatia match produced 12.2 million tweets during the live telecast worldwide. By comparison, during the Oscars, 2.8 million unique users posted a total of 11.2 million event-related tweets, according to Twitter -- led by Ellen DeGeneres' much-retweeted staged selfie.
SEE ALSO: World Cup 2014 to Break Social Media Record
Facebook chatter about World Cup opener was led by 16 million Brazilian users -- about 30% of the active users in the country -- who had more than 40 million interactions about the match. The next most-active countries for the match were the U.S., England, Indonesia and France.
According to Facebook, the most active demo during the Brazil-Croatia match was men 18-24.
Twitter, which said users in more than 150 countries tweeted about the match, said that Brazilian star Neymar (@NeymarJr) was the most-tweeted-about player during the match. Neymar gained over 165,000 followers the day of the match, which is 10 times more than his normal daily follower growth average.

First Group Enters New Grad Program
SEPT. 23, 2005--The traditional ideas of education are being challenged this fall with the addition of a new and innovative program for teachers seeking a master of science in education degree.
In partnership with the outreach and graduate studies office, the College of Education and Professional Studies has formed a Shared Inquiry Community model. This two-year curriculum, offered for the first time this fall, enables teachers to gain their degree in a convenient way.
Currently about 35 teachers are enrolled in the program and will complete their M.S.E. in 20 weekends, meeting one weekend per month for ten months a year. With a set curriculum, teachers stay with the same group of people throughout their studies and are given the opportunity to utilize some online courses through the UW System online web-based software Desire to Learn (D2L).
Particularly emphasized in this program is the idea of shared learning; these teachers will conduct an open forum for thought expression and debate. In contrast to some conventional classrooms, those in this series of courses are encouraged to share their ideas and opinions with the rest of their group.
Programs are already up and running in River Falls, Menomonie, and Eau Claire, and groups in Osseo, Minn., and Wausau, Wis., are planned. Two university faculty members, Frederick Poss and Pamela Richards, facilitate the program.
For more information on admission requirements, tuition, or other questions, please contact Poss at email@example.com or by phone at 715/834-9329.

South Korea's Prime Minister Chung Hong-won resigned on Sunday over the government's handling of a ferry sinking that has left more than 300 people dead or missing.
Presidential spokesman Min Kyung-wook said President Park Geun-hye would accept the resignation, but did not say when Mr. Chung would leave office.
Officials have taken into custody all 15 people involved in navigating the ferry Sewol, which sank on April 16. A prosecutor revealed that investigators were also looking into communications made as the ship sank between a crew member and the company that owns the ferry.
Mr. Chung was heckled by victims' relatives and his car was blocked when he visited a shelter on an island near the site of the sinking a week ago.
"As I saw grieving families suffering with the pain of losing their loved ones and the sadness and resentment of the public, I thought I should take all responsibility as Prime Minister," Mr. Chung said. "There have been so many varieties of irregularities that have continued in every corner of our society and practices that have gone wrong. I hope these deep-rooted evils get corrected this time and this kind of accident never happens again."
Meanwhile, senior prosecutor Yang Jung-jin said that two helmsmen and two members of the steering crew who were detained on Saturday had been formally arrested. Eleven other crew members, including the captain, had been arrested earlier.

If Agassi was in his prime, what rank would he be?

He would be just as strong as Nadal had he ever gotten to play on todays slowed grass, and in his prime he is definitely a better grass courter than Djokovic or Murray.
I highly doubt Agassi would be as good as Nadal on grass. Nadal made five straight Wimbledon finals (of the ones he played). I would say Murray's a better grass court player as well. He's won three grass court titles already compared to Andre's one, and I'm sure he'll win at least one Wimbledon in the future. Djokovic might be a bit weaker than Agassi on the surface, but he'd still have a shot at taking him out. In any case, Agassi would certainly have his chances against Murray and Djokovic but he would be lucky to beat Nadal or Federer at Wimbledon, and most likely he would have to beat at least two of the four to do it, which is an even bigger ask. I think if Agassi was the same age as Djokovic and Murray, he'd win maybe one Wimbledon in his career, like his actual career.
That said, he'd definitely get his time at number one. I think NLBwell put it best. He'd be up there with Djokovic, Nadal, Federer, and Murray trading the top rankings back and forth.

What it was like to be one of first female San Diego cops
Not all women were enthusiastic about female patrol officers. Janet said civilian female employees, who often dated cops, would sometimes glare at her as she mixed with the male cops at the start of shift.
Before her "generation," female cops would be assigned to detective work. However, when the decision was made to put women on patrol, Janet was often made a training officer for women who had more than a decade of police work. Not all were grateful to be taught by a "girl" years younger.
After four years, Janet sought a change. "Frankly, I was tired of working the midnight shift. At the time, in order to become a detective, it was more sort of like who you knew rather than what you knew. I saw women who were hired after me that were women of color who were Hispanic or black, and they were being promoted."
In December 1977, she was hired as investigator of consumer fraud in the City Attorney's Office, and worked at that until retirement in 2006.
She can look back on her years on patrol with a thoughtful smile. "Some days were so much fun, I couldn't believe the city actually gave me a car to drive around and paid me to do it. Other days, when you went to a teen suicide or a fatal traffic accident involving a child, no amount of money was worth it. It was often heartbreaking."
Today, Janet, now named Burgess, and her husband, also an ex-cop, live in San Carlos. She is a cookbook author and wears an apron as owner of a cooking school for children called 4 Little Cooks.
Finally, those few cops who thought Janet should be wearing an apron in a kitchen were right, but four decades later than they had hoped.

Arizona Cardinals
Browner vs. Fitzgerald is a matchup to watch
Brady Henderson is the editor at 710Sports.com, the website of ESPN Radio 710, our sister station in Seattle.
The Seahawks' and Cardinals' elimination from playoff contention has raised questions about each team's motivation heading into their Week 17 matchup.
Larry Fitzgerald and the Cardinals aren't likely to find any in the form of trash talk from Brandon Browner.
The Seahawks cornerback was a guest on "Seahawks Weekly" Wednesday and talked about the challenge of facing the Cardinals' Pro Bowl receiver.
"I think Larry Fitzgerald's greatest attribute is the way he goes and attacks the ball," Browner said. "I don't think he'll show us any routes we haven't seen, but when the ball is in the air he's a great competitor. I haven't seen too many guys do it like he do it when the ball's in the air."
Browner would know. He saw it first hand earlier this season.
In the first half of the teams' Week 3 meeting at CenturyLink Field, the 6-foot-4 Browner and safety Earl Thomas were outjumped by Fitzgerald on a pass in the end zone from Kevin Kolb.
"He may be the best at doing that," Browner said of Fitzgerald, who finished the game with five catches for 64 yards and the touchdown.
The matchup between Browner and Fitzgerald figures to be one of the more intriguing ones in Sunday's regular-season finale. Fitzgerald, who's 6-foot-3, 218 pounds and doesn't posses elite speed by NFL standards, is the type of bigger-bodied receiver that Browner is best suited to cover.
Furthermore, it will be a measuring stick of sorts.
Browner's first NFL season has been a success -- he has six interceptions and was voted a first alternate to the Pro Bowl -- but, as he admits, his game still has room for improvement. Specifically, Browner said he has to better understand the threshold of allowable contact with receivers. He leads the league in penalties, most of them coming in pass coverage.
"In the offseason I'm just going to try to keep my body light like I'm supposed to and come back ready to build on what I've started," Browner said. "I've got a Pro Bowl alternate under by belt so I want to make some noise next year."
Finishing this season with a strong performance against an elite receiver like Fitzgerald would give him a head start.

Judge spices up a slice of real life in 'Extract'
"Extract," like Judge's 1999 cult classic, "Office Space," focuses on clock-punchers, only they're not slaving away in cubicles and the boss is sympathetic instead of a jerk. (Judge says he drew from his own experience overseeing an army of employees on MTV's "Beavis and Butt-Head").
"I think if you put ordinary things and everyday life under a microscope and put it on a movie screen 30 feet tall, it can be kind of funny," says Judge, as he sips coffee in a dark corner of the Four Seasons Hotel restaurant.
Ten years later, Judge is still miffed that his reps and studio execs deemed the everyman "Office Space" a theatrical disaster (it went on to top DVD charts). Convinced by others, he agreed to shelve his partial "Extract" script and do the more commercial "Idiocracy," his 2006 futuristic satire about a stupid human society. Barely promoted, it flopped at the box office.
In person, Judge seems so laid-back it's hard to reconcile him as the controversial trailblazer who changed animation with his gross-out series starring two teenage, head-banging idiot savants. (Besides doing voices on "Beavis and Butt-Head," he's also embodied characters on "King of the Hill" and in his latest eco-crazed animated sitcom, "The Goode Family.")
But don't be fooled. Anyone who heard Judge recently deliver the keynote speech at UCSD's All Campus Graduation Celebration knows about the 1985 alumnus' dry, devilish wit. During his university address, the straight-faced Judge revealed a past premonition of being in a car crash that left his privates obliterated by the steering wheel.
In one of "Extract's" main story lines, the wannabe floor manager has a similar body part severed during a bizarre factory accident.
"Maybe it started when I made an X-ray machine for a science fair in high school," muses Judge, who was born in Ecuador and raised in Albuquerque, N.M. "I read somewhere that X-rays can make you sterile. I was only like 15. I immediately built this lead box that went around it." (His fears were obviously unfounded, since he and his ex have two daughters).
If there's one retelling of a story that makes Judge openly crack up, it's his exploits at SeaWorld. An accomplished bassist, he recalls being with the Blonde Bruce Band in the mid-'80s when the group played at the San Diego theme park.
"They just put up a sign that said we were 'Shamu's Blues Band,'" Judge says. "Boy, Blonde Bruce got himself fired pretty quickly — maybe we played three gigs there. He just started with his usual foul language, talking like he was in bars." Judge remembers the look of shell-shocked parents and confused kids when Blonde Bruce started ranting that since you can't buy sex anymore for $15, you might as well buy one of his T-shirts.
That was before Judge moved to Texas and attended a Dallas animation festival he says changed his life. In 1991, he finished his first two-minute short, "Office Space," and with no show biz ties, dialed 411 to get the addresses of MTV and Comedy Central so he could mail off his VHS tapes.
The physics major who once worked in a factory himself as a test engineer — the company manufactured guitar and bass amps, not extract — was about to launch his off-beat Hollywood career.

Chapter 4 Select Destinations Africa
South Africa
South Africa has been called "a world in one country." This refers, in part, to the diversity in the geography, which includes lush subtropical regions, old hardwood forests, sweeping Highveld vistas, and the deep desert of the Kalahari; the splendor of the animal species found throughout the country and protected in expansive game reserves; the diverse origins of the locals (from Africa, Europe, India, and Southeast Asia); the cultural, artistic, and culinary variety; and access to the conveniences of a developed infrastructure amid the challenges of Africa.
South Africa has experienced a surge in tourism in the last 2 decades, with visitors from within the African continent, as well as those from Europe and North America. Business travelers typically head to the commercial centers of Johannesburg, Cape Town, and Durban. Tourists may be attracted by the game reserves, the largest of which is Kruger National Park, located along the Mozambique border in the northeast. Kwa-Zulu Natal has a number of game parks (Hluhluwe-Umfolozi and Saint Lucia) set inland from Durban, and the Eastern Cape has parks (Addo Elephant Park and Shamwari) easily accessed from Port Elizabeth on the southern coast. Many smaller luxury reserves have emerged to cater to the high-end traveler. Visitors may be attracted to itineraries that include a trip from Cape Town along the south coast through the small scenic towns of Knysna and Plettenberg Bay; a tour of the old gold-mining towns in Mpumalanga, many of which are in near-original condition; spectacular drives and fascinating tours of the old wineries along the wine routes in the Western Cape; or visits to the southernmost point of Africa at Cape Agulhas or Cape Point, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet in a roar of foam.
South Africa is also a common destination of humanitarian workers, missionaries, and students. A sizable number of South Africans live outside the country and would be considered VFRs (visiting friends and relatives) when returning to the country for a visit.
While there is a wide range of living standards in South Africa, most visitors experience standards comparable to those in developed countries. A smaller number of visitors may go to less developed areas, either the lower-income townships outside most towns and cities or to rural areas. Hikers, adventure-seekers, and missionaries will experience a wider range of living standards. Similarly, the quality and availability of health care are variable. Middle- and upper-income South Africans live in low-risk environments, have a standard of health comparable to that of North Americans, and have access to world-class medical facilities. Poorer South Africans live in areas with few amenities, are exposed to a wide range of diseases, and have limited access to adequate health care.
Map 4-03. South Africa destination map
Vaccine-Preventable Diseases
All travelers to South Africa should be up-to-date with their routine vaccinations. Infectious diseases such as measles and mumps are endemic in the region. In addition, travelers should obtain vaccinations for hepatitis A and B and typhoid.
Yellow Fever Vaccine Requirements
South Africa requires a valid International Certificate of Vaccination or Prophylaxis documenting yellow fever vaccination ≥10 days before arrival in South Africa for all travelers aged ≥1 year who are traveling from or transiting through a country with risk of yellow fever virus transmission. Travelers not meeting this requirement can be refused entry to South Africa or be quarantined for up to 6 days. Unvaccinated travelers with a valid medical waiver should be allowed entry. (Updated Feb. 3, 2015)
South Africa's policy is undergoing review and could change at any time. Travelers going to or transiting through South Africa are advised to seek the most current information by consulting the CDC Travelers' Health website (www.cdc.gov/travel), and also the website of the US embassy in South Africa (Pretoria) and the embassy of South Africa in Washington, DC.
HIV and Sexually Transmitted Diseases
South Africa has the largest estimated number of people living with HIV of any other country in the world. The prevalence of HIV infection is approximately 18% among people aged 15–49 years, and the prevalence among sex workers is even higher. Other sexually transmitted diseases are also present at high rates in this population. Travelers should be made aware of these risks and advised to wear condoms if they participate in sexual activities with local residents.
Vectorborne Diseases
Malaria transmission only occurs in the northeast of the country in the Mpumalanga and Limpopo Provinces (including Kruger National Park) and in Kwa-Zulu Natal north of the Tugela River (see Map 3-39). Plasmodium falciparum is the predominant species and is universally resistant to chloroquine. Visitors to these areas should be on a malaria chemoprophylaxis regimen and should be advised about mosquito precautions. Malaria in the northeastern game reserves is seasonal; the highest transmission occurs from October through May, peaking from February to early May. The risk to visiting travelers is low. A study conducted in 1999 estimated a case rate of 4.5 cases per 10,000 visitors in April, a high-transmission month. The South African Department of Health recommends malaria chemoprophylaxis for all travelers visiting from September through May and mosquito-avoidance measures for the rest of the year. CDC recommends chemoprophylaxis at all times of the year (see Chapter 3, Travel Vaccines & Malaria Information, by Country).
Tick-bite fever caused by rickettsial species is common in South Africa. The disease is characterized by an eschar at the bite site, regional adenopathy, and a maculopapular to petechial rash. Hikers and campers in rural areas who are exposed to ticks are especially at risk. Measures should be taken to prevent tick bites (see Chapter 2, Protection against Mosquitoes, Ticks, & Other Insects & Arthropods). Travelers who are taking doxycycline for malaria chemoprophylaxis may have some protection against tick-bite fever, but no studies exist to support or refute this viewpoint. Taking doxycycline only as prophylaxis for tick-bite fever (as opposed to taking it for malaria chemoprophylaxis) is not recommended.
Waterborne Diseases
Schistosomiasis, a common parasite throughout Africa, may be present in any body of freshwater, such as lakes, streams, and ponds. Travelers should avoid swimming in fresh, unchlorinated water.
Animal Avoidance
While most travelers avoid wild animals in game reserves, rabies is common in dogs and other mammals throughout the country. Travelers are unable to tell if a suspected animal is rabid and should avoid all contact with animals. Any bite or scratch from an animal should be washed with soap and water immediately and be evaluated as soon as possible by a clinician. Postexposure prophylaxis and medical care for rabies exposures can be obtained in South Africa. Rabies vaccine is available in South Africa, and human rabies immune globulin is available in major urban medical centers.
Safety and Security
South Africa has struggled with a rise in violent crime, which includes armed robberies, carjackings, home invasions, and rape. Most of these incidents occur in poor areas and, as such, most visitors will not be affected. However, awareness of personal safety and security should be stressed to all visitors. Travelers should rely on local guidance about the security precautions to take in specific areas.
Although South Africa has a modern road system, drivers should be alert for dangerous driving practices, stray animals, and poor roads in remote rural areas.

Chock Full o' Rocks
October 23, 2009
Low-orbit images of Eros taken by NEAR Shoemaker have shown an amazing abundance of boulders of all sizes strewn across the asteroid's surface. This image was taken on May 14, 2000, from an orbital altitude of 50 kilometers (31 miles). The scene is about 1.8 kilometers (1.1 miles) across and includes features as small as 4 meters (13 feet). The field of boulders at the upper right is one of the rockiest parts of Eros discovered so far. The largest of the boulders is about 60 meters (197 feet) in diameter, nearly two-thirds the length of a football field.

Please note these are my own opinions of youth soccer.
Here locally we anchor development/understanding of players by playing these small sided fields where anyone with any sort of coordination can kick it from end to end, lose out of playing midfield, lose out on the concept of moving the defense up, and stick way too many kids on a team. I have lost track of the number of times I show up and at least 1 if not both teams have enough players to make 2 teams and just sub everyone at once. If you are going to do that lets extend the field and let more kids play at all times (adding 15 yds in length & 5 yds in width, and play 8 on 8 rather than 6 on 6 with 6 subs).

My trip overall was good, i have never flown AA, i was very happy with them. On the other hand i flew home on delta and i would give them an average. When i got to my gate, it had wrong flight destination on board, was sent to different gate which also had wrong destination, took a long time for person at gate to talk to us and eventually send us back to first gate which turned out to be right gate. Was definitely frustated.

Fine Art Bartending School WinnipegRead MoreEquipped with varied experience and an in-depth knowledge of alcohol and service regulations, the instructors at Fine Art Bartending School guide their students toward mixology mastery or job placement in the bartending industry during intensive five-day courses. While many schools focus solely on the craft, Fine Art's instructors also hone customer service skills through a guest bartending program at local bars and clubs?teaching students tip-enhancing approaches and how to graciously deflect customer's attempts at Bryan Adams sing-alongs. They also hold individual classes targeted at everyday drinkers, divulging industry-style instructions for blending specific drinks, performing difficult mixes, or pouring the perfect beer.9503 120 St.Delta, BC CA

Music Box Music and Theatre AcademyRead MoreA quick glance at Vashti Fairbairn's resume is telling. At local theatre company Fighting Chance Productions, she has directed the critically lauded Little Shop of Horrors and The Mystery of Edwin Drood, both of which magically combine music with dramatic arts. At her own Music Box Music and Theatre Academy, Fairbairn, along with a team of dedicated teachers, does the exact same thing on a daily basis. Children's group classes give little ones as young as 6 months old a chance to strut their stuff on the dance floor, belt out their favourite show tunes, and learn to tickle the ivories like a seasoned elephant sitter. Private lessons are open to adults as well, and expand the instrumental scope to include strings, music theory, and the speaking arts. The latter comes in handy during the school's drama clubs, which teach kids 3 years and older how to use their imaginations to create real-life and fantasy scenarios. Outside of their educational programs, the facility entertains visitors to the River Market with free music and theatre performances in the Music Box Presents series.211-810 Quayside DriveNew Westminster, BC CA
Wright Drink Bartending School New WestminsterRead MoreThe Air Force relies on flight simulators to train its recruits, avoiding risking young lives and expensive equipment as their pilots learn the ropes in a nonlethal environment. Why, then, shouldn't bartenders learn their own dangerous, high-stakes craft by simulating the real thing? At Wright Drink Bartending School, students learn to mix concoctions at an artificial bar in the school's loft, preparing them for the fast-paced rigours of slinging drinks by recreating the typical work environment. Beyond simple mixology, classes impart the more nuanced skills necessary to the job, such as managing space, mastering an in-depth liquor vocabulary, and dealing with troublesome customers by alerting the police with a high-pitched scream.E-369 Columbia St.New Westminster, BC CA
Bikram YogaRead MoreBikram Yoga Surrey stretches its students through 90-minute sessions of therapeutic Hatha/Roja yoga, under the balanced guidance of experienced Bikram yogis. A 30-day unlimited yoga package ($120) allows bodies to bend through 26 poses in forty classes per week, the amount of time required for a gorilla to beat a chimpanzee at chess. Sessions start at 6 a.m. most days and glaze over zenith hours until after 9 p.m. Bikram yoga builds its breathing exercises and postures in a heated room so that joints are fully lubricated and lungs are poised to recite a thermophilic ode. Done sequentially, the 26 Bikram poses are known to improve flexibility, realign spines, flush the body, and tone muscles.15310 103A AvenueSurrey, BC CA

Pig dressing, livestock shows, tractor pulls and the annual parade will mark this yearĺs Smithton Fair, which begins today.
The three-day event begins with art, craft, and flower shows beginning at 9 a.m. today, though the real start to the fair will be the parade, which is slated to begin at 6:30 p.m. Organizers are hoping the return of popular past events will help draw crowds, according to Hope Leechi, a member of the fair committee.
ôWe are trying to do more for families and bring back events we havenĺt had in a while,ö Leechi said. ôWe just want everyone to come out and have a good, family-friendly time.ö
Among those returning events is the Super Farmer Contest at 8 p.m. Saturday, which Leechi said is a chance for the countyĺs agriculture families to show off a range of skills from hay bale tossing to negotiating an obstacle course with a dozen eggs.
ôThat was a big draw for a lot of people in the past so we decided to bring it back,ö Leechi said.
Following the parade, locals may see the crowning of the 2013-14 Miss Pettis County from among six contestants. The winner will go on to compete for statewide honors as the MIssouri State Fair Queen in August. That contest is set to begin at 7 p.m.
While fun and games are a big part of the fair, the countyĺs deep agricultural roots will also be on full display with 4-H and FFA livestock shows scheduled Friday and Saturday.
In addition, funds raised from todayĺs Auctioneerĺs Bid Contest, slated for 8 p.m., will go toward scholarships for students pursuing ag-related degrees. Leechi said five students received $500 scholarships through the fund last year.
Admission is free to all events except for the Tractor Pull, set for 7 p.m. Saturday; admission for adults is $3 and $1 for children aged 6 to 12.

COLUMBIA, Mo. Earlier this year, an outbreak of salmonella caused by infected eggs resulted in thousands of illnesses before a costly recall could be implemented. Now, University of Missouri researchers have created a new test for salmonella in poultry and eggs that will produce faster and more accurate results than most currently available tests. The new test could have prevented the contaminated eggs from being shipped to stores.
"Processors and consumers will benefit from the speed and sensitivity of the new test's results," said Azlin Mustapha, associate professor of food science in the College of Agriculture, Food and Natural Resources. "This will keep companies from shipping contaminated products, and thus, keep salmonella infected products out of consumers' hands."
Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning in the United States, according to the Centers for Disease Control. Salmonellosis, the disease caused by salmonella, causes diarrhea, vomiting, fever, abdominal cramps and, in severe cases, death. Mustapha said salmonella testing in poultry is important because it persists in birds' spleens and reproductive tracts. An infected bird passes the infection on to all of its eggs.
The most commonly used testing method for salmonella can take up to five days to produce results. Mustapha's research allows scientists to use a process, known as polymerase chain reaction (PCR), which can cut testing time to as little as five to 12 hours. PCR-based testing methods for salmonella have been available for use by the food industry for years, but current methods often produce false-positive results because they do not differentiate between live and dead salmonella, thus skewing the accuracy of the test. Only live salmonella cells trigger salmonellosis.
Mustapha modified the PCR test by adding a dye to the test sample. The dye is absorbed by dead salmonella cells; thus, the PCR test can ignore the dead cells. Mustapha's m

Pennsylvania recently enacted the "Innovate in PA Tax Credit" program, which incentivizes early-stage venture capital investment in technology companies by selling deferred tax credits to insurance companies. The proceeds will be used to fund investments in the state in the technology sector and the insurance companies can trim their future state tax obligations.
The Innovate in PA Tax Credit program allows the Department of Community and Economic Development to sell up to $100 million in deferred insurance premium tax credits to qualified insurance companies. Of that, $85 million will be earmarked by the state for investments in start-up and early-stage technology businesses. Half of the sale proceeds will fund Ben Franklin Technology Partners (up to $42 million). The Pennsylvania Venture Capital Investment Program will receive 45 percent of the sale proceeds (up to $38 million) and the remaining 5 percent will support Pennsylvania's Life Sciences Greenhouses (up to $4.2 million).
These economic development programs, especially the Ben Franklin funding programs, are extremely important resources to emerging technology companies in Pennsylvania. This innovative legislation restores some of the much-needed funding for entrepreneurs that was temporarily lost as a result of state budget cuts.

Lady Generals reach NCAA women's volley semis anew
More News from Celest R. Flores
More News from INQUIRER.net
MANILA, Philippines — Emilio Aguinaldo College put Lyceum away with a hardfought 27-25, 25-20, 25-19 victory and assured itself a spot in the final four of the 88th NCAA women's volleyball competition Friday.
Charmille Belleza and Arianna May Angustia scored 14 and 10 points respectively for the Lady Generals, who zoomed to their seventh overall victory.
EAC used a strong start in the second set and a tough stand towards the end of the third to extinguish a pesky Lyceum squad, which reeled to its sixth setback.
Enough cushion helped the Lady Generals withstand a last ditch rally by the Lady Pirates, who pulled within 18-21, in the third set.
Skipper Clara Camille Lozada capped off EAC's final 4-1 blast with an off speed attack and chipped in five points.
The Lady Generals have made it to the semifinals for the third straight years and head coach Leo Rivera credits the teamwork, above everything else, for his squad's consistency.
"Di namin makukuha tong [final four slot], kung hindi sa hardwork at dedication ng mga bata," said Rivera.
"Simula ng hinawakan ko ang team, inuna ko yung bonding para mag-gel ang team. Ngayon, masasabi kong isa na sila," Rivera added.
Lyceum, meanwhile, missed the mark anew but did not easily let up against EAC behind efforts of Gian Carla Benedicto.
The lanky Benedicto led the Lady Pirates with all of her 12 points coming from spikes with Kailyn Penamaneta adding nine points.
Lyceum tried to make the second set competitive by pulling within five after being down by 9-20 early on, but the lead just proved too big to overcome.

Special to Daily Times Leader
Jerica James was making basketball plays all over the court when the Mississippi State Bulldogs needed them the most against Southern Mississippi Monday night.
She started it on defense with a key block of Gillom Trophy winner Jamierra Faulkner of the Golden Eagles with 24 seconds remaining in the first overtime and the Bulldogs holding a slim 65-64 advantage.
In the second overtime, James hit a big 3-point field goal to increase a two-point lead by MSU to 70-65.
The Bulldogs ended up taking a 73-66 victory over the Golden Eagles in a highly-competitive second round game of the Women's National Basketball Tournament at Humphrey Coliseum.
"God is good," a relieved James said after the game.
MSU improved to 21-13 and moves on to host a familiar foe on Thursday night when the Auburn Tigers come to Starkville.
The Bulldogs get the reward of a third-consecutive game in postseason play by outscoring Southern Miss 9-1 in the second overtime.
"What was this No. 5?" MSU women's coach Vic Schaefer asked about the number of overtimes his team has played this season. "We've been down this road before. We found a way. It was a great win for us. Hats off to Southern Miss.
"We played in front of another great crowd and it was a great environment. I love our fans and they got us through. We didn't play well in the first half and I'm not sure we deserved to win at times, but we played well enough down stretch to win."
Schaefer said his team "set the game back 20 years" in the first half after only getting 23 points in the opening half and trailed 27-23 at halftime.
The Bulldogs went on a 7-0 run to open the second half and turned the deficit into a 33-27 lead following a putback by Ketara Chapel.
The two teams went back and forth for the remainder of the second half.
After Dominique Dillingham hit a pair of free throws to put MSU up 55-52 with 1:47 left in regulation, Tamara Jones tied the game with a 3-pointer at the 1:23 mark.
James missed a shot at the end of regulation that would have given the Bulldogs the win, but she came back later to provided the cushion they were looking to get.
After the two teams battled through the first overtime scoring 10 points each, James helped MSU take control in the second 5-minute frame.
She hit the 3-pointer with 2:17 left in double overtime to put the Bulldogs up 70-65.

Continuum (US) Season 1 Discussion Thread (Spoilers)

I liked it. I don't know if it will have legs, but I liked it.
The Cigarette Smoking Man does seem to know something in the future.
I can believe the technology that FutureCop has.
I don't think the show is a ripoff of either Time Trax or Time Cop. Time Cop was more about preventing the misuse of time travel than anything else, while Time Trax, as I remember, was simply (mostly) about rounding up the fugitives. Continuum is more nuanced. If nothing else, the criminals have a goal that they themselves can't really benefit from and, if they had avoided collateral damage, they could almost come across as being the good guys.

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 19, 2013
A world-wide competition to bring emerging breast cancer technologies to market is being launched by the Avon Foundation for Women, in partnership with the National Cancer Institute (NCI), part of the NIH, and the Center for Advancing Innovation. The Avon Foundation will fund $250,000 in grants to launch the Breast Cancer Start-up Challenge aimed at teams of business, legal, medical/scientific, engineering, and computer science students, as well as seasoned entrepreneurs.
The challenge will offer teams the opportunity to create strategic business plans and the potential to start new companies based on the development of 10 unlicensed breast cancer inventions by turning them into commercially marketed products. Breast cancer inventions include therapeutics, diagnostics, prognostics, one device, one vaccine, and a health IT invention, all from the NCI intramural program and Avon Foundation-funded university labs. The challenge will include up to 100 teams—10 teams for each of the 10 inventions— to compete. Each student team will be paired with entrepreneur-mentors to assist in the development of the business plans.
"The Breast Cancer Start-up Challenge is designed to accelerate and increase the volume of breast cancer inventions in development," said Marc Hurlbert, executive director of the Avon Foundation Breast Cancer Crusade. "In addition to improving public health, we hope to spur economic growth and provide universities a platform to develop their entrepreneurship-learning portfolios."
The challenge will begin on Oct. 1, 2013, in honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, with a call to universities to establish challenge teams. Teams accepted into the competition will have until January 2014 to submit a business plan for

Why Should You Consider Having Your Own Brand Of Allergy and Gluten Free Products?
Gluten free foods are not just a fad with the US market forecasted to grow 8% to 628.7 million by 2017. Lactose free foods are expected to grow 2.9% to 1, 995.8 million by 2017. (Source: Euromonitor 2013).
Add in 5% of Americans with life-threatening food allergies plus the schools, households and businesses affected by that population, and the market becomes just too large for any savvy food business to ignore.

Who do you accept as private label clients?
We currently have the production capacity to work with a discerning regional foodservice, airline, coffee chain, specialty retailer/ecommerce or small QSR partner with a dedicated distribution channel. Current customers include Canadian, American and International clients.

While we can use our base recipes to create specific flavor and/or nutrition profiles, any new development must meet our strict dedicated facility quality assurance procedures and business goals and will be assessed on a case by case basis.

Hey There...
While trying to determine what is causing an occaisional miss in my timing, i noticed that on the inside of the distributor cap, there was some wear. Looked at the "blade" part of the rotor, and there was some black plastic!
This is a brand new cap and rotor, and they appear to disagree with eachother. Has anyone seen this before? Could a little bit of friction like this cause significant timing issues?

Giants' Roberts to have elbow surgery
Thu, May 10, 2007
By Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO -- San Francisco Giants center fielder Dave Roberts has decided to have surgery on his troublesome left elbow, possibly keeping him out for four weeks.
Roberts said he could get the elbow cleaned out as soon as Friday or perhaps Monday. He made the decision after being examined by Angels orthopedist Dr. Lewis Yocum on Thursday in Los Angeles.
''The appointment went well,'' Roberts said.
San Francisco placed Roberts on the 15-day disabled list before opening a four-game series against the Rockies in Colorado and also designated outfielder Todd Linden for assignment. To fill the roster spots, the Giants recalled outfielders Fred Lewis and Dan Ortmeier from Triple-A Fresno.
The team had hoped Roberts could avoid needing a scope until after the season. Yocum worked on Roberts' shoulder during his college days at UCLA, but the outfielder was still deciding who would perform the operation.
The procedure removing floating bone chips and bone spurs - nearly identical to what slugger Barry Bonds underwent after last season - has a recovery time of about four weeks. Though Giants infielder Rich Aurilia healed quickly when he had surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow in 2002 during his first stint with the Giants. He was out from May 20-June 3 that year and later helped the team reach the World Series.
The 34-year-old Roberts homered in the Giants' 5-3 loss to the New York Mets on Wednesday, but noted afterward that he was heavily medicated and was fresh after not having played in the three previous games. He said he doesn't intend to stay on such harsh medication for a long period of time.
Roberts didn't travel with the club after the game to Colorado, but hoped to meet up with the team at some point during its road trip that also includes three games in Houston before next weekend's interleague series against the Athletics in Oakland.
Roberts had an MRI exam earlier this week that revealed the bone chips. He cannot fully bend his elbow, which affects him at the plate and his outfield play - so the injury is not just about whether he can tolerate the pain.
From the Giants perspective, losing Roberts is huge considering Linden's recent struggles at the plate and Roberts' speed in the leadoff spot that makes him such a threat on the basepaths.
San Francisco has up to 10 days to trade Linden or place him on waivers or he would be sent outright to Fresno. One of the Giants' most productive players during spring training, Linden was batting just .182 with no homers and three RBIs in 30 games. He misplayed a ball in right field Wednesday, but that didn't weigh into the decision.
''We felt like we needed to get some more production and the two guys that we have called up are playing well down there,'' manager Bruce Bochy said at Coors Field. ''Todd's a talented player but he was a little lost up there at the plate. I don't know what's going to end up happening with him here.''
Linden said he understood the Giants' sense of urgency,
''It's just an unfortunate situation,'' he said before boarding a plane back to San Francisco, noting he believes something will work out for him soon. ''I don't have anything bad to say about them. It's business. It's baseball.''
Roberts is batting .216 with two homers and six RBIs in 27 games and 23 starts in his first season with San Francisco. Randy Winn will be the primary center fielder with Roberts out, the spot he played last season.
''It's tough to lose a guy who plays the way Dave does,'' Bochy said. ''It's going to be good to see a couple of these kids get an opportunity, too.''

Tigers' Bonderman may miss next start
Thu, May 10, 2007
By Associated Press
DETROIT -- Tigers pitcher Jeremy Bonderman might miss his start Sunday against Minnesota because of a blister on the tip of his middle finger.
Manager Jim Leyland said the right-hander was ''very questionable.'' Bonderman (2-0) experienced blisters for the first time during spring training.
''You want to get it to a point where you don't have to worry about it,'' Bonderman said. ''You don't want to keep fighting it.''
Bonderman pitched six innings Tuesday to pick up his second victory of the season. Bonderman was 14-8 with a career-high 202 strikeouts in 2006. He has a 4.20 ERA and team-best 40 strikeouts in seven starts this season.
Leyland said Bonderman's replacement would not come from the bullpen, which is down a man after right-hander Joel Zumaya went on the 15-day disabled list May 3 with a finger strain.

He was 0-2 with three saves and a 12.46 ERA in five games this season after finishing last season 2-2 with a 1.37 ERA and 38 saves.
Ken Griffey Jr. hit his 569th career homer Thursday to tie Rafael Palmeiro for ninth place on the career list, helping helped Cincinnati beat Houston 9-5.

Detroit won for the ninth time in 10 games with a 7-3 victory at home against Seattle on Thursday.
Oakland routed Kansas City 17-3 on Thursday and improved to 29-7 at Kauffman Stadium since the start of the 2000 season. The A''s set season highs for homers (6), runs and hits (18).
Every member of the Cleveland Indians will wear Larry Doby''s No. 14 on Aug. 10 to honor the AL''s first black player, who followed Jackie Robinson in breaking baseball''s color barrier.
''It''s an easy difference. He pitched well then, not so well today.'''' - Detroit''s Brandon Inge said about Seattle''s Jeff Weaver after the Tigers 7-3 victory over the Mariners on Thursday night. Weaver who beat Detroit in the clinching game of the 2006 World Series, gave up six runs in five innings, and has lost each of his six starts this season. It''s the longest losing streak of his career. He left the game with a 14.32 ERA.

Arizona rookie infielder arrested for allegedly assaulting wife
Fri, May 11, 2007
By Associated Press
PHOENIX -- Arizona Diamondbacks rookie infielder Alberto Callaspo was arrested Thursday on charges for assaulting his wife.
Callaspo, 24, was taken into custody on suspicion of assault and criminal damage, according to police who did not release any details. He still was being interviewed by detectives late Thursday.
Police officers responded to a call at Callaspo's home about noon Thursday and said the player's 22-year-old wife, Marianny Paola, had minor injuries.
Callaspo did not accompany the team on its flight to Houston, where the Diamondbacks begin a nine-game road trip Friday night.
''We do not feel that he should be with the team due to the allegations,'' Diamondbacks president Derrick Hall said.
Hall said the Diamondbacks were gathering facts about Callaspo's arrest to ''determine what exactly took place and what further action is needed, if any.''
Callaspo, a utilityman who is hitting .215 this season, could possibly be suspended, put on the restricted list or optioned to Triple-A Tucson.
Re: MLB News and Notes May - 11
Jason Giambi missed his second consecutive game Thursday due to a bone spur near his left heel, according to the AP. A doctor found a way to relieve the pain by taping Giambi's ankle differently, so the slugger is aiming to return to action on Friday.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Third baseman Edwin Encarnacion was sent to the minors Thursday by the Cincinnati Reds, who grew weary of his inconsistency in hitting and fielding.
Encarnacion was optioned to Triple-A Louisville a day after his two throwing errors set up three unearned runs and a 3-2 loss to the Houston Astros. The Reds called up infielder Jeff Keppinger to replace him.
Keppinger was hitting .411 with no homers and two RBIs for Louisville.
Encarnacion was hitting .218 after going 3-for-16 on the Reds' homestand. His six errors were the most on the roster.
"I hope he goes down and works hard and works hard on his defense," manager Jerry Narron said. "He's got to be more selective at the plate. I think that's hurt him more than anything."
He had a pair of two-out throwing errors that extended innings and set up all of the Astros' runs Wednesday night, when the Reds lost for the seventh time in eight games and fell into last place in the NL Central.
"Last night was a tough game for us to lose and a tough game for him personally," general manager Wayne Krivsky said. "But I don't want to say last night was the reason. There were other things leading up. He'd get on a little bit of a stretch where he'd show some consistency, but it wasn't for long. It's up to him now to get down to work and prove us wrong, that he belonged here all the time. I'm confident he can.
"He's got to get to Louisville and work harder than he's ever worked before. We told him this could be a turning point in your career. You might look back on this some day and say it's the greatest thing that ever happened to me."
The 24-year-old infielder hit .276 with 15 homers and 72 RBIs last year, his first full season in the majors. He also had 25 errors, and the Reds stressed the importance of improving his fielding.
Ryan Freel can play third base while Encarnacion tries to regroup in the minors.

A's activate Bradley
May 11th, 2007
Oakland, CA (Sports Network) - The Oakland Athletics activated outfielder Milton Bradley from the 15-day disabled list prior to Friday's game against the Cleveland Indians.
Bradley had been on the DL since April 23 with a strained left hamstring. He missed six games with the same injury from April 11-18, and after going 2-for-7 in a three-game series at Texas from April 20-22, he re-injured the hamstring in the sixth inning of that final game.
Bradley is batting .263 with one home run and three RBI in 11 games this season.
To make room on their roster, the A's optioned outfielder Danny Putnam to Triple-A Sacramento.
