Day Twenty Four
... John wasn't happy that I wanted to go there, but we made it okay. There were a lot of petroglyphs along the way as well, and some dinosaur fossils. We went where no RV should go however.
Back on the road we noticed that 9 out of 10 homes that we saw had either a camper or motorhome in their yard. Most of them looked like they haven't been running for a while. Some of the homes looked like RV graveyards. Obviously we ...

Our route today will take us to Craig, CO via I-70 and Rifle, CO. Now Christina would be proud as this was a departure from my pre-planned itinerary. This was brought on by us trying to find a way to get from I-70 to I-80 with as few mountain passes as possilbe. We checked out two ways and each had two 8,000 ft. heights. So we tried another route that was not supposed to have any steep runs. Well the route we took was not devoid of some steep runs ...

The first pass was Cameron Pass at 10,276ft & the next one was Rabbit Ears Pass at 9,429ft. We had a day where it rained off & on for most of the day but it wasn't heavy, just nuisance rain & we were only driving anyway. Eventually we crossed the state line in to Utah.

CLARION — More than a year of investigations culminated Friday when Clarion County District Attorney Mark Aaron announced the arrest of 11 alleged heroin dealers.
The investigation involved anonymous informants, Clarion Borough Police, the Clarion Heroin Task Force, the Youngstown (Ohio) Police and the Mahoning Valley (Ohio) Crime Task Force.
Six of the alleged dealers are Clarion-area natives: Krystal Clark, Rimersburg; Nicholas Beichner, Rimersburg; Marla Forbes, Leeper; Sara Kirkpatrick, Leeper; Barry Beichner, Kossuth; and Thomas Novak, Marienville.
Josephine Beyo, 92, Punxsutawney, died Thursday, April 14, 2011, at Wellington Heights.
She was born Oct. 27, 1918, in Rossiter, the daughter of the late Nicola and Bisolina (DelPrincipe) Finamore.
In August 1953, she married Michael B. Beyo, who preceded her in death.
Although born in Rossiter, Mrs. Beyo was raised in Pescasseroli, Italy. She returned to the United States in 1939.
Mrs. Beyo was a seamstress at Pramco in Punxsutawney. She was also the co-owner of Beyo's Keystone Service Station in Punxsutawney.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — When Punxsy senior Ashley Barenchik rounded first base Thursday during the fifth inning of a tie game with Altoona, she wasn't sure if she would make it to second.
Barenchik compensated for what ended up being an extremely close play at second base by sliding head first, and that extra effort led to her being safe for the double.
Barenchik's determination to get into scoring position led to her scoring the go-ahead run later that inning to help the Lady Chucks improve to 3-0 with a 5-4 victory Thursday over Altoona.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — With one of its biggest opponents on the schedule, State College, in town, the Punxsy boys' and girls' track and field teams were more focused on personal best times, distances and heights than individual victories Thursday at Jack LaMarca Memorial Stadium.
State College controlled both of Punxsy's squads — the girls won 115-35, and the boys were 105-45 victors — but the Chucks and Lady Chucks were still pleased with their performance.
ST. MARYS — The Punxsy boys' tennis team won four of five singles matches en route to its second consecutive victory Thursday afternoon, 5-4, over Elk County Catholic in St. Marys.
Upon taking a 4-1 lead, the Chucks' No. 1 doubles tandem won to clinch the victory.
"It was a good test and a good win. You can see the team's confidence when we're playing," Punxsy head coach Todd Heigley said. "We really dominated the singles, which was kind of nice."
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Brian Sekula, borough engineer from The EADS Group in Clarion, reported Monday that the Torrence Street widening project is going well, as the alley that runs between North Findley Street and North Jefferson Street is being widened with grant funding from PennDOT.
Public Works Committee Chairman Roger Steele asked about the drainage system for the Torrence project.
Sekula said Palo Construction is upgrading the existing drainage system that ran through the center of the alley.
PUNXSUTAWNEY — Now that he's completed a career as Punxsutawney Area High School's winningest wrestler, senior Kody Young is prepared to take the next step.
Young, who finished with 143 victories and the second-most falls in District IX history, signed with Division II Mercyhurst College Wednesday.
Young was interested in Division I schools Edinboro University and Clarion University, but ultimately chose Mercyhurst with a physical therapy major.
Punxsy coach and Young's father, Buddy Young, said that his son is a good fit at Mercyhurst, which is led by head coach Mike Wehler.
The Punxsy cheerleaders held a luau-themed "Cheer Night in Paradise" awards banquet last Saturday at the B.P.O. Elks.

PUNXSUTAWNEY — Not so fast in declaring the Punxsutawney Area Transportation Authority (ATA) terminal project on North Findley Street a dead issue.
During Monday's Punxsutawney Borough Council meeting, Borough Manager Ben White said the bids that were due March 22 to construct a terminal on North Findley Street came in higher than ATA had planned to spend on the project.
Demolition began Wednesday on the former Parente's Recreation along North Gilpin Street and a two-story, wood-framed house located next door. Both structures were razed to make way for Grace Place, a 24-unit housing complex for moderate-income seniors. The $6.5 million project is being constructed by the Jefferson Area Lutheran Social Ministry and Trek Development at the corner of Pine and Gilpin streets. The two-story portion of the former Grube Hospital that houses the Pine Street Senior Center will also be demolished later this summer. (Photo by Larry McGuire)

FDA Veterinary Clerkship Program
Experience the power of protecting human and animal health. The Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Veterinary Clerkship Program is the only one of its kind in the United States. The program is designed to give fourth year veterinary students a real-world opportunity to see how policies guiding the approval of new animal drugs are developed and implemented by FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine (CVM).
The Program
The FDA Veterinary Clerkship Program has been in existence for over 25 years in collaboration with the Virginia-Maryland College of Veterinary Medicine's Center for Public and Corporate Veterinary Medicine.
The Program was created for students to gain a comprehensive perspective on the vital role federal veterinarians play in safeguarding animal and human health. Specifically, the experience is intended to afford students an opportunity to apply their advanced backgrounds in basic and clinical science supporting CVM's regulatory review and research activities.
Each student is paired with a mentor who will guide them throughout their Clerkship. The Clerkships typically range two to four weeks in length however CVM understands that this timespan may vary depending on the school a student is enrolled. Thus, the Center makes every attempt to not only accommodate specific rotational timeframes but to ensure students reap a meaningful experience for the duration of their time spent at its facilities.
Application to the FDA Veterinary Clerkship Program is open worldwide to veterinary students currently enrolled in both AVMA and non-AVMA – accredited veterinary schools. All students must be U.S. Citizens or permanent residents and in good academic standing.
Participants in the Clerkship Program are considered "student volunteers" and therefore do not receive a stipend for their work at CVM.
CVM does not provide living accommodations.
How to Apply
All students must submit the following documents to be considered for the Clerkship Program:
- Letter of intent indicating proposed Clerkship dates and specific areas of interest;
- Current resume; and
- Two signed letters of recommendation
The documents may be forwarded electronically or via mail to:

The Marshall Country Club was established in 1921 when a nine-hole course was laid out and built on Lyon Lake approximately six miles from downtown Marshall. In 1972 an additional nine holes were constructed providing the basic 18-hole design that exists today.
The course provides beautiful views of both Lyon Lake and Fish Lake and is a delight to play with its carefully manicured greens, sculptured fairways, and strategically placed bunkers. With a controlled number of golfing members, it has not been necessary to implement tee times.

Among the Ruins (See Jane Roam)
While I often hear that Rome a must-see among European cities, I get the feeling from visitors that it's not a favorite like Paris, London, or even Florence. Yes, Rome may be dirty, loud, and busy but it's a also a huge city that has housed inhabitants for thousands of years.
While a thoroughly modern city, Romans still live among the ruins; everyday they may pass by a 2,000 year old crumbling structures every day as if it's commonplace. When you roam the streets, you can't help but wonder stepped on these cobblestones years before you. Julius Caesar? Michaelangelo? Russell Crowe?
I find Rome to be a magical place and thousands before me would seem to agree. I would love to see what it's like in another thousand years. Watch me roam one of my favorite places...
Ciao ciao!

So here we are in the middle of summer and change is needed. The daily grind, the normal hours, the regular column — they just don't cut it during these long days!
Luckily, I was just sent a copy of Success magazine. If you haven't seen Success lately, you should really check it out. New, improved, slick, easy to read, full of great ideas, and even containing a CD of interviews, the new Success is quite impressive.
On the cover is a story discussing the 50 greatest entrepreneurs of all-time. Now that got my creative juices flowing. It got me to thinking. Who would I consider to be the Top 10 entrepreneurs of all time? For me, the best of the best are those who not only created a great business, but changed business and/or the world in the process.
You may disagree, and please leave a comment if you do. For my money, here are the Top 10 American Entrepreneurs Ever:
No. 10: Jeff Bezos, Amazon.com:If the essence of entrepreneurship is the willingness to take a risk with money to make money, then Bezos has it in spades.
When, while working on Wall Street in the early 90s, Bezos discovered that Internet usage was growing at an amazing 2,600% per year, he quit his cushy corporate gig, drove west to Seattle, started Amazon.com in his garage, and in the process, not only invented online shopping, but essentially, what the Internet would become.
No. 9: Juan Trippe, Pan Am:If the world has gone from, as Thomas Friedman says, large to tiny, then one of the founding fathers of that trend must be Trippe, the founder of the defunct Pan American airways. Trippe made airline travel affordable to the masses, and thus changed how we all travel. As he said, "In one fell swoop, we have shrunken the earth."
No. 8: Walt Disney, Disney:Despite early failures, including losing the rights to his first animated character (Waldo the Rabbit), and filing for bankruptcy, Walt Disney kept at it, eventually creating one of the great multi-disciplinary entertainment companies in history.
No. 7: Sam Walton, Wal-Mart:The inventor of the Big Box retail concept, Walton was an entrepreneur's entrepreneur. He started by seeing a need a filling it – opening stores in rural areas that not only needed what he sold, but which were less expensive to run. He passed saving along to customers, and it can easily be said that his progeny include Costco, Home Dept, and Ikea.
No. 6: Asa Candler, Coca Cola:No, Candler didn't invent Coca-Cola (pharmacist John Pemberton did) but he did come up with the idea to premix it, bottle it, and sell it. But maybe even more importantly, Candler was the marketing genius behind the creation of the Coca-Cola brand, and that has changed how we all think about business.
No. 5: John D. Rockefeller, Standard Oil:Rockefeller's Standard Oil Co. was so successful, controlling almost 90% of America's refined oil by the 1890s, that he not only became the first billionaire, but his company was spilt into 38 separate companies by the Supreme Court, two of which went on to become Exxon and Mobil.
No. 4: Amadeo P. Giannini, Bank of America:Prior to Giannini, banking was the domain of businesses and rich folk only. His Bank of Italy became the Bank of America, and in the process, he invented modern individual banking, along with such innovations as bank branches, home mortgages, and car loans.

I've bought many of these casettes in the past never had a problem with them.
Quality product and much better/ lighter than the lower grade cassette that came on my new bike.
For those still running 9-speed (which I actually prefer over 10/11 speed for reliability reasons), this is the best 9-sp cassette you can get which is reasonably light, doesn't cost a lot, and lasts a long time.
Nice cassette. I felt the difference (improvement) in shifting right away (comparing to my older Tiagra cassette). Thanks
Shimano quality ( this replaces the one I have had on my TT bike for 3 seasons) at a low price. A great price/weight point, especially compared to Dura Ace. Fitting was easy and shifting is perfect.
Lightweight cassette, providing smooth shifting. Just as I hoped it to be. I orderd the 12-23 because the gearing was too wide on my earlier 11-26. Now it's perfect.
Looks great. Works perfectly.
It's a cassette

ClassicsOnline Home » Orchestral Spectacular
Orchestral Spectacular
Spain exercised a curious fascination over the nationalist
composers of the nineteenth century, with a particular appeal in Russia, a country that
was finding again its own identity in literature and music, after the Westernisation
initiated by Peter the Great.
The French might be forgiven for a certain preoccupation with
the very different traditional music of their geographical neighbours. The nineteenth and
twentieth centuries offer various examples of this interest, from Saint-Saëns, Lalo and
Bizet to Ravel and Debussy. Emmanuel Chabrier, like his Russian contemporaries, was
intended by his family for a securer career than any that music could offer. He showed
exceptional ability as a pianist as a child, but studied law and took employment in the
Ministry of the Interior in Paris. It was not until 1880, eleven years after the death of
his parents, that he became a full-time musician. His colourful orchestral piece Espana
was written in the following year, its inspiration a visit to Spain. It has always enjoyed
popularity, a success not shared by the dramatic works by which the composer set
considerable store.
Rimsky-Korsakov's famous Capriccio espagnol began as a
Fantasia on Spanish Themes for violin and orchestra, but was eventually completed in 1887
in its present form. Rimsky-Korsakov belonged to the musical generation after Glinka and
once he had relinquished his original career as a naval officer devoted himself to the
cause of Russian music with a professionalism that some of his contemporaries lacked. He
was one of the five nationalist composers, Stasov's Mighty Handful, under the influence of
Balakirev, and possessed particular ability in orchestration, a gift he was later to
exercise in removing apparent crudities from the music of Mussorgsky and in completing
what Borodin had left undone. He stressed that the brilliant Capriccio espagnol was
intended as a display of orchestral colour, an aim which it achieves admirably.
The origin of the orchestral piece Night on the Bare Mountain
lies in music written for a play, The Witch, by a friend from Mussorgsky's time in the
army. The composer later had the idea of writing an opera on a story by Gogol, St. John's
Eve. In 1867, dismissed for the moment from the civil service, he found the leisure to
write an orchestral work based on the material he had composed to depict a witches'
sabbath, held on the eve of the Feast of St. John, at mid-summer, on Bare Mountain.
Mussorgsky was to make use of the same music five years later for an abortive stage-work,
in which he collaborated with Rimsky-Korsakov, Borodin and Cui.
As seems usual on these occasions, the witches' celebration
starts with relative decorum, before proceeding to more characteristic activities.
Throughout Mussorgsky derives his inspiration from Russian folk-song, an element never far
from the musical idiom he employed. Borodin's professional career in chemistry left him
relatively little time for music. His first symphony had occupied him intermittently
between 1862 and 1867, while the second, started in 1869, reached its final form twelve
years later. From 1870 onwards he worked at his opera Prince Igor, for which Stasov had
sent him a scenario, writing music and words piece-meal, but without ever providing
himself with a full libretto. At his death in 1887 the opera was still unfinished and was
to be filled out by Rimsky-Korsakov and his young colleague Glazunov as best they could.
The Polovtsian Dances make up a sequence of choral dances in
the second act of the opera, where they provide
entertainment for the Tartar Khan's prisoners, Prince Igor and his son. The opening dance
was orchestrated by Rimsky-Korsakov and the remaining dances by the composer, all making
use of
rhythms of enormous vitality and melodic material that suggests vividly the scene in all its barbarous energy.
Ravel wrote the orchestral tour de force Bolero in 1928 for the
dancer Ida Rubinstein, describing it on one occasion as an orchestrated crescendo and on
another as "une blague" and yet again as "vide de musique". It is
based on the insistent drum rhythm of an
invented Spanish dance and won immediate popularity.
Royal Philharmonic Orchestra
The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra was created by Sir Thomas
Beecham three weeks before its first concert, which took place in the Davis Hall, Croydon, on 15th September, 1946. The orchestra was initially
associated with the Royal Philharmonic Society and involved in the Society's subscription
concerti series, later earning for itself the title
"Royal", when this association came to an end. Beecham gave his last concert
with the orchestra in 1960 and was succeeded by Rudolf Kempe, who became principal conductor on
Beecham's death the following year. The orchestra has from the beginning been involved in
recording, with a major international reputation supported by foreign tours and by association with conductors and soloists of the
greatest distinction.
Adrian Leaper
Adrian Leaper was appointed Assistant Conductor to Stanislaw
Skrowaczewski of the Hallé Orchestra in 1986, and has since then enjoyed an increasingly
busy career, with engagements at home and throughout Europe.Born in 1953, Adrian Leaper
studied at the Royal Academy of Music and was for a
number of years co-principal French horn in the Philharmonia Orchestra, before turning his attention exclusively to conducting. He has
been closely involved with the Naxos and Marco
Polo labels and has been consequently instrumental in introducing elements of English
repertoire to Eastern Europe. His numerous
recordings include a complete cycle of Sibelius symphonies for Naxos.

Who says that basics have to be boring?
For more than a decade, Hollywood's hottest celebrities like Katie Holmes, Jessica Biel and Carrie Underwood have been rocking Michael Stars' casually chic tees and cotton separates, and RadarOnline.com has photos and details about the designer's fabulous new fall collection.
PHOTOS: Hollywood Celebrities Love Michael Stars
Michael Cohen, the founder of Michael Stars, who started out his line with basic essentials like one size fits all t-shirts, long sleeve tops and tanks, has expanded his line over the years to an extensive collection of everything from dresses and denim to leather jackets and sweaters, but this season we are loving his take on the leather sleeve trend!
A not-so-adolescent take on the letterman jacket we have seen on stars like Rihanna and Kim Kardashian, is the Michael Stars Fleece Leather Sleeve Bomber Jacket ($298), which definitely has the feel of the popular high school varsity coat, but is mature enough for anyone out of their teens.
PHOTOS: The Best, Worst & Wackiest Dressed Stars Of The Week
And his Model Scoop Neck Tee with Leather Sleeves ($118), adds a super chic twist to a classic staple and is the perfect way to jazz up a pair of skinny jeans and boots.
"Michael Stars is still an all American classic, but now lifestyle from head to toe. We are now a little bit more current and hip," says Susan Peterson, VP of Creative and Design for Michael Stars.

Bostic Beats
Beat tapes can be some of the most enjoyable releases to vibe out to, especially when you don't feel like hearing someone's voice in your ear. Bostic Beats, half of One Eyed Kings, just released his debut instrumental album, Spring Cleaning Sessions: Volume 1. It starts slow, with a couple of tracks that seem sort of empty without an MC, but that's quickly remedied by "Ignorant Levels," an enigmatic track with a hard bass line and a slowed-down sample from Rashad & Confidence's "The City." Bostic's thoughtful sample selection and his impeccable timing result in some very well-rounded tracks. Simple piano melodies and intricate harp are highlighted, with a basic hi-hat creating an appealing and original sound. From the weed references in the titles to the mellowness of the tracks, there's no question who Spring Cleaning's target audience is. Regardless, this beat album is a worthy addition to any collection.

Here are 10 things you should know for Friday Feb. 14:
1.-- U.S. stock futures were pointing to a flat open for Wall Street on Friday and most indices in Europe rose as the eurozone currency bloc saw its economy grow 0.3% in the fourth quarter.
Asian shares ended the session mixed. Stocks in China rose while Japan's Nikkei 225 index declined 1.5%
2.-- The economic calendar in the U.S. on Friday includes export and import prices for January at 8:30 a.m. EST, industrial production and capacity utilization for January at 9:15 a.m., and the University Michigan Consumer Sentiment index for February at 9:55 a.m.

4.-- Charter Communications (CHTR - Get Report), which lost its takeover battle for Time Warner Cable (TWC) when cable giant Comcast (CMCSA) swooped in, is likely to look at other suitors, The Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the company's thinking.Charter is unlikely to counterbid for Time Warner Cable, people familiar with the matter told the Journal, given the price gap between Comcast's bid, which at Wednesday's closing price valued Time Warner shares at $158.82 vs. a $132.50-per-share bid that Charter had been contemplating.
One possible target is Cox Communications, the nation's third-largest cable operator, according to the Journal. Charter eyes Cox last year, a person familiar with the matter told the newspaper.

Do It All Again
I'm not the hours that I've lived
I'm the love and pain deceived
I'm the moments that define them all
I decide who it should be
From beginning to end
I love life to heal my heart and soul
And do it all again
Real life breaks all my dreams
Nightmares wash away my sins
Can't you see, I'm not the one to blame
Just my heart knows when it ends
Sorry not to tell you friend
Now is the time to rule the world
And do it all again
A little bit of a little sin
Wasted time will kiss my lips
I'll do it all again
A little weak, a little freak
I'll cross the world to kiss your lips
I'll do it all again

HOUSTON -- Race organizers for the 2014 Grand Prix of Houston say changes have been made to the Reliant Park race course to increase both driver and spectator safety after last year's crash that ended the racing career of 3-time Indy 500 champion and 4-time Indy Series winner Dario Franchitti.
Franchitti suffered a broken back, broken ankle and concussion in the inaugural event held on the parking lot surface around the Astrodome. Debris from his car penetrated the catch fence injuring several spectators. Franchitti retired after the Houston event.
Race organizers, who on Monday were placing the last of the more than 2,000 cement barriers along the race course, say changes are being made to improve the catch fence barrier and that extra distance will be placed between the cars and the spectators at key locations. And one particular grandstand has been moved completely.
In high speed areas, yes, we have eliminated grand stands such as the grandstand involved in the incident last year that are in those areas where cars are going at the highest speeds, said Grand Prix Managing Director Austin Crossley.
Monday, three drivers temporarily traded in their Indy cars for forklifts, helping, albeit ceremonially, the race course staff place the last of those cement barricades. They included Takuma Sato with A.J. Foyt Racing, rookie Indy series driver Mikhail Aleshin, and current Indy Series points leader Will Power. Each of them praised the challenging course but the key word of the day was also bumpy.
It's unique. A unique track, said Sato. It's very bumpy. But it's very challenging for us.
Track is a bit bumpy and it has a lot of turns and not a lot of places to rest plus heat so you need to be very well prepared physically, said Aleshin.
It's an awesome track, added Power. It's built in a car park so there's low grip, the cars slide around a lot.
The race last year was held in October. Race organizers say moving the 2014 race to the end of June does create the likelihood of higher temperatures for both drivers and spectators to deal with. But they also say the three days of multiple races come with a variety of indoor family-oriented, and air-conditioned activities at NRG Arena.
Last year the race track had to be assembled in roughly 96 hours. This year the Grand Prix of Houston has four weeks to prepare.
The races are June 28 and 29.

After hitting with lots of different racquets the smaller headed player's ones demanded too much where ones like the Pure Drives and Extremes just had way too much power and not as much control. The Speed was a real "Goldilocks" racquet for me but it is very string sensitive.
The demo I had was strung with Luxilon ALU Power 125 @55lbs and was fantastic. But the factory Sonic Pro felt completely dead by comparison. Lovely balance but I had real problems generating power and it was awful off centre. After a few months I went with SPPP @ 54lbs and it has made a big difference. Lots more power and more forgiving on off centre shots. But I can see how lots of people wouldn't like it.

Douglas Brinkley Reveals Thompson Suicide Note Details
Rolling Stone, the magazine that was home for years to Hunter S. Thompson, will publish a note written by the gonzo journalist days before he committed suicide in February.
Douglas Brinkley, the presidential historian who is also Thompson's official biographer, writes that a Feb. 16 note may be Thompson's final written words, The Associated Press reports.
It reads:
"No More Games. No More Bombs. No More Walking. No More Fun. No More Swimming. 67. That is 17 years past 50. 17 more than I needed or wanted. Boring. I am always bitchy. No Fun - for anybody. 67. You are getting Greedy. Act your old age. Relax - This won't hurt."
Brinkley writes in the magazine, on newsstands today, "February was always the cruelest month for Hunter S. Thompson. An avid NFL fan, Hunter traditionally embraced the Super Bowl in January as the high-water mark of his year. February, by contrast, was doldrums time."

In their search for a constructive partnership, Washington and Moscow will have to overcome differences on the global missile shield issue and Syria
Russian President Vladimir Putin will meet U.S. President Barack Obama on the margins of the G-8 summit in Northern Ireland for their first bilateral since Mr. Obama embarked on his second term six months ago.
The meeting may be crucial in deciding whether they can build a constructive partnership after the much-vaunted "reset" launched when Mr. Obama entered the White House in 2009 ran aground towards the end of his first term.
Moscow struck a hard tone on U.S. criticism of its crackdown on the opposition after Mr. Putin reclaimed presidency in May 2012; relations between the two countries dipped to a low point at the turn of the year when they adopted legislation penalising each other for alleged human rights abuses.
Missile defence
In the past few months, Moscow and Washington have since sought to rebuild ties focussing on strategic issues. Mr. Obama and Mr. Putin have recently exchanged confidential letters formulating their proposals for enhancing bilateral cooperation.
Experts have identified two key issues that may help revive the spirit of the "reset." One is U.S. plans for a global missile shield, which remains a sticking point in bilateral ties.
"If we find common language [on missile defence], we could speak of a beginning of new positive dynamics in U.S.-Russian relations," said Alexei Pushkov, head of international affairs at the State Duma, lower house of the Russian Parliament.
Two years ago, Mr. Obama told then Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that he would have "greater flexibility" on issues of discord with Russia, "particularly missile defence," after winning a second term ticket.
Following Mr. Obama's re-election, the Pentagon announced a shift in its missile defence plans from Europe to Asia that would involve scrapping deployment of more powerful missile interceptors near Russia's borders from 2018. Mr. Obama reportedly also offered to give Moscow political assurances that the U.S. missile defence would not target Russia. The pledge would come in the form of an "executive agreement," which does not require congressional approval.
The Kremlin however rejected the offer reiterating its demand for legally binding security guarantees.
"Russia's position [on missile defence] differs in many respects from the U.S. vision," said Yuri Ushakov, Mr. Putin's foreign policy aide. "I do not think agreement can be reached on the missile defence issue in Lough Erne."
The other key issue where Russia and the U.S. are struggling to find common ground is Syria. Moscow and Washington have backed opposite sides in the conflict, but last month they agreed to co-sponsor an international peace conference to stop the bloodshed in Syria.
"It is for the first time in recent years that Russia and the U.S. have come up with a joint initiative that may have a lasting effect on international relations globally," said Prof. Veniamin Popov of the Institute of International Relations, Russia's premier diplomatic school.
However, the idea of bringing the warring sides in the Syrian conflict to the negotiating table has run into serious disagreements over the list of participants and the terms of peaceful settlement in Syria. Moscow wants all main opposition groups, and not just the West-backed National Coalition Council to attend the proposed forum.
It is also pushing for Iran's participation, which is opposed by the U.S. Moscow and Washington also differ on whether Syrian President Bashar al-Assad can be part of a peaceful transition in Syria.
Some experts have called these differences insurmountable, but Mr. Putin expressed optimism that positions can be bridged.
"I hope very much that… our joint work will give a chance for settlement in that country [Syria]," he said earlier this week. In an interview to the Russia Today TV channel, the Russian leader also set out his overriding task in dealing with the U.S. – help it climb down from its grandstanding as the world's master.
"The collapse of the Soviet Union left America as the world's single leader. But there was a catch associated with it in that it began to view itself as an empire… An empire cannot afford to display weakness, and any attempt to strike an agreement on equitable terms is often seen domestically as weakness.
"I think that the current [U.S.] administration realises that it cannot solve the world's major issues on its own. But first, they still want to do it, and second, they can only take steps that are fit for an empire … Otherwise they would be accused of weakness… It certainly takes time to change those patterns of thinking," Mr. Putin went on to say.
"I don't think that it's impossible. I think we've almost come to that point. I very much hope we will reach it soon."

Abbott Laboratories has agreed to pay $5.475 million to settle allegations that it paid kickbacks in violation of the Anti-Kickback Act (AKA) to induce doctors to perform surgeries using the company's products. The global pharmaceuticals and healthcare products company is accused of paying prominent physicians for teaching assignments, speaking engagements and conferences in return for the doctors' purchase of Abbott's carotid, biliary and peripheral vascular products. Such kickbacks consequently led to the submission of false claims to Medicare for the procedures in which Abbott products were used in violation of the False Claims Act (FCA). The allegations against Abbott stem from a lawsuit brought by two former employees pursuant to the FCA's qui tam provisions. Each whistleblower is set to receive a payment of more than $1 million as part of the settlement.
The AKA aims to curtail the corrupting influence of money on healthcare decisions by making it illegal for anyone to pay, receive or solicit compensation in exchange for referrals or the purchase of items or services that may be paid for by a federal healthcare program. Violations are felonies and carry penalties of up to $50,000 per violation. AKA violations are also considered per se violations of the FCA prohibition on knowingly submitting false or fraudulent claims to the government for payment, with the potential for treble damages and penalties of between $5,500 and $11,000 per claim.
Abbott's settlement illustrates the complexity of state and federal laws applicable to the healthcare industry. This makes it crucial that healthcare providers understand these laws and take measures to avoid violations that can lead to potential criminal penalties, civil fines, exclusion from federal healthcare programs and/or the loss of medical licenses.

When an app on your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad is behaving an an unexpected way, our Support Humans may ask you to send along a Console Log. The log can tell us exactly what is going on behind the scenes and help get you back up and running quickly. In order to get the Console Log from your device, you'll need to download a special utility.
Step 1: Download and install the iOS Console application
LemonJar makes a free application called iOS Console, which is very handy for retrieving console logs from an iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch.
Download the iOS Console application for Mac
Step 2: Connect your iOS Device
Launch iOS Console and plug your device into your computer. After a few moments, a window should appear that displays the console log.
Step 3: Copy the Console Log to an email
Copy and paste the console results in a reply to a message from the Support Human you're working with. We'll do the rest! If you get stuck at any point, don't forget that you can reach us by phone at +1 800-315-6664 between 10am and 5pm PST/PDT (GMT-8/GMT-7).View Article
Syncing Omni iOS Apps Using OmniPresence and Omni Sync Server
This article covers OmniGraffle 2 for iOS and OmniOutliner 2 for iOS. Legacy apps are covered at the end. There are separate instructions for using Omni Sync Server with OmniFocus and OmniPlan.
As of May 2013, we've introduced OmniPresence support to our document-based iPad apps, so that they can automatically sync documents via a WebDAV server — such as our own free Omni Sync Server. You can access the same documents on your desktop or laptop by installing OmniPresence for Mac.
If you don't already have a free Omni Sync Server account, you can sign up for one here.
Setting up OmniPresence in OmniOutliner 2 for iOS and OmniGraffle 2 for iOS
- Open OmniOutliner or OmniGraffle to the document picker. Tap Locations at the top left to back out to the list of available file locations.
- Tap Add Cloud Account, then Add Omni Sync Server Account and enter your sync credentials.
- Tap Save to test the credentials and finish the account configuration process.
After the compatibility check is complete, you'll be able to tap the new Server folder in the file location list. To move files from Local Documents to your OmniPresence cloud folder:
- Open the Local Documents location, then tap Select in the toolbar.
- Tap to select the documents you'd like to move.
- Tap the folder icon in the toolbar, then Move to "(OmniPresence folder name)". The files will be moved from Local Documents to your cloud sync folder.
Setting up OmniPresence in OmniOutliner for iPad (v1), OmniGraffle for iPad (v1), and OmniGraphSketcher for iPad
- Tap the Local Documents title in the toolbar and choose Cloud Setup, then Add Omni Sync Server Account.
- Enter your Omni Sync Server login information, and be sure that OmniPresence is checked. (If not, the server will act as remote storage instead of actively syncing updates and changes).
- When you're ready, tap Connect. The app will do some compatibility checks, and then your new folder will be connected to the cloud.
After connecting you'll find yourself looking at an empty cloud folder. To move files from Local Documents to your OmniPresence cloud folder:
- Tap the title in the toolbar and choose Local Documents.
- Tap Edit in the toolbar, and tap to select the documents you'd like to move.
- Tap Share, then Move to "(OmniPresence folder name)". The files will be moved from Local Documents to your cloud sync folder.
Staying in Sync
Files stored in an OmniPresence-enabled folder will sync automatically whenever changes are made to them. To stop syncing a file, just move it back to Local Documents. To disconnect a synced folder, go to Cloud Setup and tap Edit to delete the folder from your list of OmniPresence accounts. Note that this won't delete any remaining contents of the folder; the files will remain in the cloud, but won't be affected by changes on this device.
The OmniPresence button appears in the toolbar when viewing a synced folder in the document browser as well as when editing a document in a synced folder. It animates to indicate a sync is in process, and if needed you can tap it to prompt a sync as well.
"Where are my files?"
If you connect to your Omni Sync Server account using Finder or a third-party WebDAV client, you most likely will not see anything. This is because OmniPresence stores your sync data in a hidden folder.
If you'd like to access your synced documents on a Mac, install OmniPresence for Mac. If you'd like to import and export individual documents via WebDAV, you can do that too.
"What's the difference between Local Documents and my OmniPresence folder?"
Local Documents are files on your iPad that will not sync. Any files in this location can only be directly modified from the iPad.
Files in an OmniPresence folder automatically sync with the server. If you don't have an internet connection, previously-downloaded files are still accessible offline from your iPad, and any changes you make to these documents will be communicated with the server on your next sync. If you delete or otherwise remove a document from the OmniPresence folder on one device, it will be removed from your sync folder on other devices.View Article
Upgrades for Omni Apps Purchased via the Mac App Store
The Omni Group has a long history of offering upgrade pricing on new versions of existing apps, and while the App Store doesn't support selective discounts, we originally planned on letting Mac App Store customers move to our own store to get those discounts. Unfortunately, we discovered that as long as we continue to sell our apps through the Mac App Store, we are not allowed to distribute updates through other channels to apps which were purchased from the App Store.
OmniFocus 2
The new Standard edition of OmniFocus is $39.99, with an in-app purchase option to activate Professional features like AppleScript and custom perspectives. All App Store customers who've purchased OmniFocus 1 will receive that in-app purchase for free, granting them the Pro feature set for the price of Standard (which happens to be half the price of OmniFocus 1). For step-by-step instructions on upgrading, please see the "Mac App Store" section of this article: Buying an Upgrade for OmniFocus 2.
OmniGraffle 6
Because we've switched to an in-app purchase to add Professional features like AppleScript, Visio import and export, and more, OmniGraffle 6 starts at $99.99 in the App Store. If you have OmniGraffle 5 Standard or Pro installed via the Mac App Store—it must be via the Mac App Store, not ours—we can offer discounts based on prior purchases. No matter where you purchased, there's more info on how to get your discount on this page: Buying an Upgrade for OmniGraffle 6.
OmniOutliner 4
When the Mac App Store opened, we promised that OmniOutliner 4 would be a free upgrade for anyone purchasing version 3 from that point on. OmniOutliner 4 was released as a free update to Mac App Store customers.View Article
Configuring WebDAV for OmniPresence Sync
Please note: due to the wide array of possible setup configurations and outside factors involved with custom hosting setups, troubleshooting, setting up, or administering WebDAV servers is beyond the scope of the tech support we are able to provide.
IMPORTANT: When you expose files and folders on your computer to the internet (even with password protection), you assume some risk. These steps assume that you're familiar with the Apache web server and understand this risk. You should be comfortable with the responsibilities of maintaining a server, including keeping your Mac up to date with the latest security patches. These instructions are offered as guidance for those interested in self-hosting, but should not be considered a comprehensive overview of the Apache implementation process.
Setting up WebDAV without Server.app
OS X Server includes WebDAV as one of the options for file sharing. However, this WebDAV implementation is a fairly complex configuration that utilizes a proxy to create Apache processes that run as user accounts. In our experience this configuration has had a number of hard-to-identify bugs that can corrupt your data. We don't recommend using it at this time.
Instead of using OS X Server's built-in file sharing WebDAV configuration, we recommend manually configuring a WebDAV share by editing the appropriate Apache configuration file. This requires some knowledge of both the Apache web server and Apple's implementation. You should also be comfortable with the command line. This configuration will emulate Apple's configuration by allowing you to login to a WebDAV share using system account credentials. You will also be able to use posix group permissions to control access to the shares. However, all files and folders must be owned by the Apache web server (_www) since this configuration will use the web server's account to read/write all files.
For more information about the Apache httpd server, see the excellent documentation on apache.org
There is an overview of Apple's configuration of the Apache httpd server see their documentation website. While Apple's documentation is sparse, they do outline what directories are used for configuration files, which is a great place to start poking around.
Take particular note of Apple's ReadMe.txt file (
/Library/Server/web/config/Apache2/ReadMe.txt). It goes into more operational details about what they've configured and what you may and may not touch.
Configuring Apache
Assuming that you have never used Apple's built-in file sharing feature to host WebDAV configuring Apache is fairly straightforward.
Make a copy of the example WebDAV configuration file and move it to OS X Server's website configuration directory. The example configuration file is located at:
Copy this file to the website configuration path with a new filename. In this case we chose omnipresence-dav.conf but you can name it whatever makes the most sense to you.
cp /etc/Apache2/original/extra/httpd-dav.conf /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/omnipresence-dav.conf
Note: any file that you put in /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/sites/ that ends in ".conf" will be included by OS X Server in the Apache configuration when the Websites service is started. If your configuration file has any errors in it the Apache service will not start.
The example configuration file outlines how a WebDAV share is defined. We will edit it to define a single share called "omnipresence" that uses OS X's user and group accounts to control access. Remove the example configuration's Directory directive block and replace it with your own configuration. It should look like our example omnipresence share that we've configured below:
# Map the URL /omnipresence to the filepath that we want to host a WebDAV share.
Alias /omnipresence "/Volumes/System/Users/Shared/OmniPresence/"
# Turn on WebDAV sharing and only allow user accounts in the posix group "staff" to access it.
<Directory "/Volumes/System/Users/Shared/OmniPresence/">
Dav On
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
# Use Open Directory for authentication.
AuthType Digest
Require group maxgeekery
Note: the _www user, which is the posix account that Apache runs as, must have read and write access to to the WebDAV share.
For more information about Alias, Directory, and Dav directives in Apache configuration files see the following Apache documentation sections.
Also, be sure to understand the processing of Order directives so that you don't accidentally make your WebDAV share readable (or writable!) to the rest of the Internet:
Starting the Service
When you are satisfied with your configuration, start the Websites service and test your new WebDAV share to make sure that it is accessible and that the permissions are correct!
If, by chance, you previously enabled WebDAV on file shares using OS X's File Sharing service you will need to turn it off. This may be harder than it sounds! On some versions of OS X Server (before Mavericks) turning off WebDAV in the File Sharing service in Server.app did not, in fact, turn off WebDAV sharing. While the WebDAV share will no longer allow client access it still creates httpd processes that respond to client connections. This could cause conflicts with other WebDAV shares that you may want to setup. In our test case, we had to unload the serverd launchd job and then load it back for OS X Server to stop creating Apache processes running Apple's WebDAV configuration. For some reason, even reboots of the system did not change the WebDAV sharing state.
To stop and then start serverd use launchctl
% sudo launchctl unload /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.serverd.plist
% sudo launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.serverd.plist
Only unload and load the serverd process if, after turning WebDAV sharing off, you notice processes that are still configured as WebDAV shares and a reboot of the system does not clear them. Note that these processes only appear if a client tries to access the server system with those user's credentials. So, after a fresh reboot the system may look clear, but double check by watching the processes on the system while a client connects.
Example processes you should not see after turning off Apple's WebDAV share. The account maxgeekery is a user account on the system.
% ps aux |grep http ~
maxgeekery 3128 0.0 0.0 2432784 628 s002 S+ 6:29PM 0:00.00 grep http
maxgeekery 3117 0.0 0.0 2462048 1392 ?? S 6:29PM 0:00.00 /usr/sbin/httpd -f /Library/Server/Web/Config/apache2/httpd_webdavsharing_template.conf -D FOREGROUND -k start

You may also see other httpd processes running as root or _www. You can safely ignore them in this context.

Retrieving Console Logs in OS X
When an app on your Mac is behaving an an unexpected way, our Support Humans may ask you to send along a Console Log. The log can tell us exactly what is going on behind the scenes and help us resolve the issue.
The Console Application is located in your /Applications/Utilities/ folder. It should open to "All Messages", showing the log entries for everything that's happened recently on your Mac.
You can save the log by choosing File > Save a Copy As... (If a specific operation is giving you trouble, make sure to try that operation directly before saving).
Attach the saved console log to a message to Omni Support that includes an overview of the problem you're having. We'll do the rest! If you get stuck at any point, don't forget that you can reach us by phone at +1 800-315-6664 between 10am and 5pm PST/PDT (GMT-8/GMT-7).View Article

Skipitares's troupe of actors, puppeteers, singers, and satirists takes the audience on a tour of infamous womanhood from the medieval Nun of Watton in 1160 A.D. to the Rikers Island women's wards. Going on this tour is a shattering experience. It is frightening, and beautiful too, the way a bonsai tree is beautiful. The work is both formal and personal; each branch is alive, each scene rooted in truths.
Body of Crime challenges us to think about wounded spirits women heretics in prisons of body and soul. Ravaged privacy and broken limbs are just the starting points. Skipitares has studied the way that penal institutions and the church meddle with the minds of their subjects. She knows what it's like to be in a prison.
Listening to the voices and songs, watching shadowy flickers of resistance begin, we become participants. Body of Crime II has a deceptive simplicity, but it's a large work. Skipitares and her collaborators invite us to enter its sullen but captivating realm.
