'Kinni' is a jewel of a trout stream
April 13, 2010 at 9:10 am in River Falls Journal
The "Kinni," as it is affectionately known in the surrounding region, is a superb Class 1 trout water stream which originates in the center of St. Croix County and flows 20 miles southwest before merging with the St. Croix River.
At its midpoint sits the only city on the river, River Falls.

Significant as the first printed manifestation of the Faust legend, the Historia von D. Johann Fausten is a crude compilation of previously circulating anecdotal matter that gained great popularity by 1600 (22 editions within a decade). Certainly, this so-called Volksbuch (chapbook) is a valuable mirror of the turmoil of the age with its struggle between medieval superstitions, progressive Renaissance humanism, and the victorious orthodoxy of Lutheranism. Yet from a literary perspective the "Faustbook" is particularly intriguing since it merges features from history and legend into an early modern work of fiction that was to become the seminal source for all subsequent Faust versions in …

Unlike APR fans whose expectations in continental competitions is always sky high, Police have nothing to lose when they make their debut in the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Orange Confederation Cup.
Goran Kopunovic's side is scheduled to face Lydia Ludic Burundi Academic in the preliminary round of Africa's second tier football competition. The first leg will be played on the weekend of February 15-17, 2013 in Bujumbura followed by the return leg in Kigali two weeks later.
Despite losing to APR in this year's Peace Cup final, Police secured their ticket following APR's league success. According to the local football governing body (Ferwafa), the league champion qualifies to play in the Caf Champions League while the Peace Cup winner qualifies to play in the Confederation Cup but in a scenario that both competitions are won by the same team, the runner-up in the league gets the ticket.
While Police have struggled to match last season's consistence, Kopunovic is psyched up for the tournament. "We will not go into the competition as tourists. I have full respect for Burundian teams, they play very entertaining football and are always difficult to beat, but the boys are up to the challenge," the 45-year-old he said. "Two seasons ago, no one expected us to be playing in the Confederation Cup. Now we are here and it's up to us to continue disproving our critics."
Should they qualify, an even more daunting task awaits in the form of DRC's DCMP.
Elsewhere, Kenya's Gor Mahia faces modest opposition in Anse Reunion of Seychelles.
The aggregate winner will qualify for the first round where Egyptian side ENPPI who got a bye waits in the wings. ENPPI will host the first leg between March 15-17 before traveling to either Kenya or Seychelles for the return leg. The winner will then proceed to the final qualifying round to face off with Angola's Petro Luanda or DR Congo's CS Don Bosco / South Africa's SuperSport United.
Last year, Gor Mahia was bundled out on a 4-0 aggregate score in the preliminary round by Mozambique's Ferroviário de Maputo who won 3-0 at home and 1-0 in Nairobi.
Some of the big teams in contention include Asec Mimosas (Ivory Coast), CS Sfaxien (Tunisia), Heartland (Nigeria), USM Alger (Algeria), Wydad Casablanca (Morocco) and Etoile Sahel (Tunisia).
Last year, AC Léopards from Congo-Brazzaville won their first title, defeating Djoliba from Mali with a 4-3 aggregates' win in the final.

NFL Division Odds: Arizona Cardinals Fail To Soar in 2014
- Updated: June 13, 2014
The biggest concern for the Arizona Cardinals in previous seasons has been play at the quarterback position, something many fans believed they solved by bringing veteran Carson Palmer to the team.
Despite having a decent signal caller, the offense still failed to succeed rushing the ball, as they finished just 23rd in the league in rushing. That shows just how desperate of a need that the Cardinals have on the offensive line.
This is something that the Cardinals needed to take more seriously in the off season. The Cardinals didn't re-sign last season's starting right tackle, Eric Winston, leaving the position up for grabs between Bradley Sowell and Bobby Massie. Instead of grooming a rookie in case Sowell and Massie do not pan out, the Cardinals will sign a free agent or bring back Winston. So without a solid right tackle, the Cardinals had to make a move on the left side.
The left side is the side responsible for keeping Palmer upright. Adding left tackle Jared Veldheer early in free agency solidified a position that has plagued the team for years. He is a top-tier tackle who can protect quarterback Carson Palmer's blind side, a move that was necessary to keep the veteran Palmer as healthy as possible as the Cardinals make a run for the playoffs.
In fact to this day the Cardinals are still tweaking their offensive line.
NFL roster moves: Arizona Cardinals release G Johnson, re-sign C Estes – Revenge of the Birds http://t.co/tieUQj4scs #NFL #ArizonaCardinals
— Cardinals Plus (@CardinalsPlus) June 9, 2014
The team has showed that they are still interested in upgrading the quarterback position.
The Cardinals have gone as far to have discussions with other teams. Buccaneers general manager Jason Licht told 910 AM in Phoenix that he had conversations with the Cardinals about possibly trading Mike Glennon to Arizona. Glennon would be an understudy to Palmer but it shows that Palmer is only a temporary fix.
The only strong point for this team is the defense, but that is putting a lot on a unit that will face off against other dominant defensive units in the division. Don't look for the Cardinals to make an amazing run at the end of the season as the schedule will not allow it.
The tail end of the schedule includes games at Seattle, Atlanta, San Francisco and St. Louis in the last six weeks of the season. The Cardinals will not be able to compete and will finish in last place in the division. Looking for more on the Arizona Cardinals Win Totals Prediction, check out Adam Burkes Take!

This lunchtime brought the shock news that Pat Kenny is to leave RTÉ after 41 years, and move to Newstalk. We remember Pat's ground-breaking work with RTÉ in the company of Gay Byrne, Dustin the Turkey and Louis Walsh!
Shane Filan was just two months old when Pope John Paul II visited Ireland. The youngest of seven children, one of his big breaks was appearing in Grease at the age of 12 with the Sligo Fun Company. His Mum, Mae, worried that her baby, 'Danny Zuko', was a little 'shorter' than Sandra Dee!
He had tasted stardom and he didn't want it to end. In Summerhill College his pals included Kian and Mark. Along with three other friends they formed a boyband called I-O-YOU...
Mum Mae, badgered Boyzone-manager Louis Walsh: "Look at my son!" she cried – "Isn't he fantastic?!".
And Louis had to agree! He plucked Kian, Mark and Shane out of I.O.YOU to form a new boyband... Westlife!
Westlife had 14 successful years together, constantly topping charts and selling 50 million records. But, last year, after a sell-out Greatest Hits Tour, they all went their separate ways.
The next step for Shane is to pursue a solo career - his new single, Everything To Me, will be released in three weeks time, on August 23rd, and today both Shane and Louis Walsh join Derek in studio...
To find out more about Shane, visit his website: www.shanefilan.com, and click here: @ShaneFilan to follow Shane on Twitter!

Best Warrior Cat Characters (Book by Erin Hunter) « see full list
He is the best! I love him! Graystripe is better than any other cat! He is great! I feel bad for him though, why did his first love Silverstream have to die? She was so great to him. And then he lost his daughter then he lost his son. That's like his first family gone. That was really sad. Anyway, he should have became leader he was deputy before Brambleclaw. Definitely Graystripe! I love you Graystripe!
Graystripe is amazing! I know that he never stopped loving Silverstream. Even after Millie came! I feel bad for him though. His mate died, then Feathertail, his kit died, then Stormfur, his other kit, lived in the Tribe so Graystripe never got to see him. Plus who knows if Stormfur, s still alive? Erin Hunter does I suppose.
Graystripe is a cat of... AMAZINGNESS! He helped Firestar/heart/paw all through his journey to sucsess. When Firepaw fist came into the clan, he was not fully accepted. But Graystripe helped Firepaw be accepted into the clan, and made the clan get used to him. When Bluestar died, Fireheart obviously became Firestar, and with no hesitation, he made Graystripe deputy. Graystripe was, and always will be, the best friend of Firestar. Though all the stages: paw, warrior, and leader, Graystripe was the real backbone that held Firestar up.
He is so cute! Handsome and I think that his mate, Silverstream dies so unfairly... He is awesome and one of the best warriors because he doesn't really like fame. He is the bravest warrior and isn't scared to break the warrior code if he needs to.
I love Graystripe. He should have been named deputy instead of Brambleclaw, because he was deputy first, and he will make a much better leader! Go Graystripe! I also love him because he follows with his heart!
Graystripe is my favorite because he fought for his friends and helped raven paw escape his death. Gray stripe also helped many cats escape from the two legs. Grays tripe is MY favorite Warrior cat
Greystripe is just awesome, such a roll model. He's not perfect, but so lovable, and always smart, fore-thoughtful, and witty. He can find his way out of a tough situation and is always good to the people he loves; nothing will ever separate them. He tries his hardest no matter what happens, and proves himself worthy and loyal.
Graystripe was so loyal to Firestar after he left on the journey to revive SkyClan. He could've just broke his promise and went to the Moonstone to receive his lives, and probably would receive them since StarClam couldn't see that far. But, he didn't. He waited all those long moons for Firestar to return. He is amazing,
Yeah! Graystripe has always been my favorite! I think he is the best warrior to have ever existed! If I could I would be his mate, even though he has Millie. I can't wait to read the triology about him! I LOVE YOU, GRAYSTRIPE! P.S. I also love Millie, Stormfur, Brook, Silverstream, and Feathertail.
Graystripe is the best cat on earth! I hope he never dies! I wish he existed! I am a big fan of Graystripe! He must be Thunderclan leader! I love him more than anything!
Graystripe is so cool! He has such a sweet and brave character. He's been through so much, first losing silverstream, then taken away by twolegs. I'm happy that now he is with millie and that he is happy. he totally should have been made deputy forever! Go graystripe!
Graystripe is AWESOME! He is such a good friend to Firestar and is so CUTE! I felt so bad for him when Silverstream died! He's also extremely loyal to his clan.
Graystripe is the best because he is an awesome warrior who cares about every cat and he is a great friend to Firestar!
GRAYSTRIPE ROCKS! He's so brave and nice and cute and funny and athletic and AMAZING! He reminds me of the boy that I like!
Graystripe is one of the few cats that I really liked. He's one of the only cats in the books that are actually funny. He's hilarious! So what if he fell in love with a cat from another Clan? He came back to ThunderClan! He's smart and kind and caring...
So sad that silverstream had to die... I feel bad for graystripe... Go graystripe go
Graystripe is the cute gray kitten who is adorable
Graystripe is the best cat in the warriors series. He's loving and adorable!
Graystripe has been through so much and is by far the best warrior cat ever
I love love love graystripe so much he is so awesome I love gray gray
Graystripe's an awesome character. He's a great friend, very loyal, and didn't listen to the warrior code--even if he had to gain trust again from his clanmates. He's just a very good character, and funny too.
So much like max in the first Beyblade series. he is funny. I love him
Oh yeah graystripe! He's my favorite!
He was so funny in the first books
Graystrip is my favourite character because:
1.I LOVE his sense of humor like in 'Into the Wild' he said he hates catching sqirrels and says he shall sit on one until it gives up or something. That was so funny! (I'm not sure if he said that or not)
2. He would have been a great deputy/leader if it wasn't for, well us!

Stopped here randomly for my birthday lunch and was delighted. We sat outside on a beautiful afternoon. The service was very attentive and accomodating. My boyfriend asked for the tomato soup which was not on the lunch menu and we expected to hear the usual "no sir we cannot do that" and we were happy to hear him say yes of course we can do that for you. The soup was delicious and the fried zucchini and calamari was a treat. Also, the bread seved before the meal was so good.

Just had lunch here with a co-worker and we were both impressed. Although the service was less than stellar, the food was excellent. The chopped salad was perfect, I LOVED the squid ink pasta w/proscuitto and shrimp, and my date really enjoyed the veal. And the price wasn't bad at all.

Whatever it was--and I think it wasa fantastic combination of everything--this place MADE our 7 year anniversary something truly special. We're no nonsense diners--two people in their late 20s who usually try not to spend more than $20 for both of us during a meal. At $175 (after tip) ROC was an hour and a half of dining that neither of us will forget. The Bufala Mozzarella was astonishing; the Beef Carpaccio salad surprisingly beautiful and tasty. The Parpadelle was a pasta to beat all other attempts at the perfect al dente, and the filet mignon could not have been better (hint: do not choose how it should be cooked, leave that to the chef!) The wine list is daunting--both in selection and price--but we found a $30 Chilean Cabernet (Keyword: Coulouse) that my girlfriend called "magical" in its spiciness and deep, dark foresty, tingling sensations. The cast of roughly 5 or 6 colluding waiters were all extremely thoughtful and helpful (YES, ask your waiter what he recommends here) and the owner, Rocco--or Roc, of course--was a terrific guy who won't snub his nose at pouring your wine and chatting for a few moments before rushing off to make sure everything else is up to speed. DO NOT SKIP DESSERT, have two. The Tiramisu and Ciocoletto desserts were so subtle, so uncloying, that a non-dessert eater like me out-ate my overly dessert-loving girlfriend. The music could have been as subtle as the dessert to make this place truly toppset notch.

We have eaten at Roc several times over the past few years and have always been happy with the food and super friendly service. We're all vegetarian and are always able to find good choices on the menu too. I HIGHLY recommend Roc in a neighborhood full of choices!
Posted by Aisle79 on 02/20/2006
Went to Roc with my entire family the day after Valentine's Day to celebrate my mother's birthday. Service was attentive, but not overbearing. Wine and drinks were good. One thing though, had to keep asking waiter for more water. For appetizers we had scallops, calamari, beef carpaccio, and bufala mozzarella which were all good. One note about the calamari, there was more fried zucchini on there than actual calamari. The main courses were subpar. I had the daily risotto special with sausage which did not do it for me. Another in my party had veal and could not eat it because the meat tasted unpleasant. Other pasta dishes were enjoyed at our table, but nothing special. Fish was ok. We didnt have any desserts since our stomaches hurt from the meal. Don't waste your time at Roc.

House of Lords reform
Miliband should announce a convention – and invite Nick Clegg to join him in backing it.
Lords reform passed with a majority of 338, yet it will never see the light of day.
The loss of the boundary changes is disastrous for Cameron.
Cameron's party would need a lead of 11 points to win without the changes.
Which will crack first, Cameron's hold on his party or the glue that binds the coalition?
Guy Lodge and Michael Kenny make the case for a stronger second chamber.
Labour should completely reject the coalition's proposals.
Tory MPs crave an invigorating burst of authentic Conservative ideology.
The PM looks like a weak and defeated leader after last night's vote.
It only encourages Tory and Labour MPs to rebel against Lords reform.

Gates Foundation Invests in APS
Two researchers from the Gates Foundation and Harvard will work with district on data analysis
June 17, 2010
The Albuquerque Public Schools will join the Denver, Los Angeles and Philadelphia school districts as members of the Strategic Data Project (SDP), which is funded by the Gates Foundation and administered by the Center for Education Policy Research (CEPR) at Harvard University, APS administrators announced Wednesday night.
In a presentation to the APS Board of Education Wednesday evening, RoseAnn McKernan, executive director of instructional accountability for APS, said that two SDP data analysts or fellows will work with staff from the APS' Research, Deployment and Accountability Department to analyze data and work to bring that data to bear on strategic management and policy decisions.
"We will analyze data to look at three specific areas of interest," McKernan told the board. "The first is effective instructional strategies for Hispanic students. The second is teacher effectiveness and the third is the impact of the state's three-tiered licensure system on student performance."
McKernan added that the second part of the data project is a deeper analysis by the SDP and CEPR staff at Harvard of teacher effectiveness and college readiness.
"The Gates Foundation is primarily interested in large urban districts with high minority enrollment and with the challenges of high poverty," McKernan said.
Superintendent Winston Brooks said that part of the criteria for selection to be part of the Strategic Data Project was that the local board of education and the superintendent must work well together.
"Our selection by the Gates Foundation and Harvard for this project speaks well of our work together," Brooks told the board.
He noted that participation in the project over the next two years could open the door to other work with both the Gates Foundation and Harvard.

The pet products category is characterised by the most fragmented competitive landscape in the entire pet care market. The leading player, Nestlé Purina PetCare and its impressive offering of other pet products for supermarkets/hypermarkets and specialised retailers, held an 11% value share.
It owes its leading position to its wide range of products under its Purina Procare and Friskies brands as well as its constant efforts in terms of innovation in other pet products. The former brand is aimed at pet shops and pet superstores while the latter is available in grocery retailers.

The Government of Senegal has confirmed that Dangote Group is the first wholly owned African Company to invest massively in the country.
Special Adviser to the President of Senegal on Foreign Investment, Serigne Mbacke, gave the hint in Dakar, Senegal while reviewing the West African nation's efforts to drive an inflow of foreign investment into the country.
Mbacke said apart from European nations who control most of the private investment in Senegal, Dangote is the only company, of total African extraction that has committed huge funds to the real sector, creating thousands of the teeming population of Senegalese.
"Apart from the foreign investors from Europe and other parts of the world, Dangote Group is the first wholly owned African company to commit huge investment to our country and we are proud of him and urge other African companies with similar financial and technical capacity to tow the path that Dangote has initiated," he said.
The Presidential adviser said on completion of Dangote's investment, which will cover cement production, sugar, flour among others, the company would expend a minimum of USD1 billion.
Dangote Senegal Cement factory, which is to be completed in November 2011, is expected to gulp $500 million, while the other arms of the investment will gulp the remaining $500 million.
He said the government had extended various incentives including a 5 years tax holiday and a tariff regime of only 2.5 percent to Dangote Group to encourage the African real sector giant.
Mbacke added that the government of Senegal gave about 8,000 hectares of land to the group for the cement manufacturing, sugarcane plantation and sugar refineries. He said that the investment is an indication of a strong belief in the future growth of Africa's economy.
He said Dangote's target production of about 45 million tonnes of cement was feasible with the level of massive investment in the expansion of old plants and construction of new plants in African countries.
The senior adviser said that Senegal, with a population of about 16 million, is becoming one of the fastest growing economies, adding that the demand for cement was high, because of the demands to meet housing needs. He said that the country has all the raw materials to produce enough cement and export to other continents.
Also speaking at the forum, General Manager, Project, Dangote Industries in Senegal, Mr. Ganapathy Balasubrahanian, said that the cement plant had installed capacity of one million metric tonnes per annum.
"We are hoping to have more than 1,500 direct workers and 7,000 indirect workers at the site. Before the end of 2011, that is, between November and December, we will start operation. We are hoping that Dangote's investment in the country
will complement the government's efforts in stimulating economic growth and creating jobs," he said.
According to Balasubrahanian, at the moment only two cement manufacturing companies, SOCCOSIM and SEHEM, are operating in Senegal. He said that the companies produce 2.5 million tonnes per annum as against the local demand of 3 million tonnes per annum.
The investment marked a significant milestone in Senegalese quest to be self-sufficient in cement production.
According to him, the plant is being constructed by SINOMA, a Chinese company in a site with abundant raw materials that can last for 50 years life span. He said that in spite of the availability of power in the country, the company would build a coal power of about 30 mega watts to power the plant.
On the choice of coal, he said "it was chosen because of lack of adequate water to build hydro power and insufficient gas in the country for now. For now going hydro or gas will not be prudent but one thing about the group cement plants is that they are built in such away to utilise different types of power".
Balasubrahanian noted that the investment was strategic, adding that Senegal with a population of about 16 million was becoming one of the fastest growing economy with it attendant need for more housing.
He added that Dangote's target of producing about 45 million tonnes of cement in Africa was very feasible with the level of massive investment in old and new plants in some African countries.
Lauding Senegalese investment and trade policy, he said the land was free and the company also enjoyed tax holiday for about 10 years and free duty for all imported equipment for the construction of the factory.
On challenges faced in distribution of the cement being a bulking product, he said "there is rail system from the factory to the various parts of the country and Mali," adding that Dangote presently has cement manufacturing firms in 14 countries in Africa alone.

I don't know what to write here! Hello?
I'm a college student and aspiring writer looking for more of a social life and maybe even a relationship, be it long term or just for the near future. I'm a quiet person but I open up eventually. I think good lasting relationships above all else are built on friendship and shared interests. I'm looking for somebody I can relate to and that can relate to me. I'm working my way through college at the moment, though a bit slower than I'd like due to some financial difficulties. I hope to graduate in the next 2-3 years if all goes well. I've always had two main interests in writing and game development and ideally I'd like to pursue both. Lately I've been spending some of my free time working on short stories and contributing to an independent gaming website. I'm probably the fastest typist you'll ever meet by the way. I also feel pretty confident in saying I'm a good cook. I can make pretty much anything. I'm a fairly liberal and nonreligious person and I'd probably look for someone with similar beliefs. I think everyone should be left alone to do whatever they want as long as nobody's getting hurt. I don't feel completely comfortable labeling myself a Democrat but most of my beliefs lean that way. When dealing with somebody who disagrees with me I try to respectfully avoid sensitive subject matters instead of getting into arguments. I can't think of much else to write here so I'll leave it at that I guess. Message me if you want to know more?

Anyway, I'm heading to restart Rage right now!
Divine: Did you all take notice? The landscape of EWNCW is changing
Rage is up in it's entirety!! A couple of debuts, so welcome aboard to those people (I'll officially welcome you tomorrow after everyone's read the show to avoid spoilers), some awesome promos, and interesting feuds building!
Please give feedback be it positive or negative. Don't be afraid to give critique, since we can't improve without that. I've taken steps to address as much as I could based on the feedback from the last War Games and NGNG.
All in all though, great first Rage back. Let's look to continue with the roll as we await this week's Brutality and Inferno!
I'll also hopefully be sorting out next week's Rage show tomorrow night with Shaz, so there's a chance that promo assignments will go out tomorrow for that!

Tickets for benefit shows being held at the Main Library and organized by the Alameda Library Foundation have been selling fast. However, the group says it will try to accommodate as many guests as possible.
This year's series of Saturday-night concerts includes cabaret performers Wesla Whitfiend and Mike Greensillm who perform tonight, October 22, and jazz and cabaret singer Amanda King on November 19.
"Tickets for the shows have been selling extremely well," said Ruth Belikove, who put together the program with Luzanne Engh and Eileen Savel of the Alameda Library Foundation. "We will have a limited number of tickets available at the door."
Greensill, who performs for the weekly public radio show "West Coast Live," is married to his co-star Whitfiend. "They performed for the first season of Live at the Library and were so popular that we asked them to do a second show," Belikove said.
Doors open at 7 p.m., with music starting at 8 p.m. Tickets are priced at $30 each.
The events' main sponsors are Perforce Software, First Community Bank and Bank of Alameda.
In late February, library benefactors will present a concert with Alameda opera star Frederica von Stade and the Cal Young Musicians at the Alameda Theatre & Cineplex.
"She's always there for young artists, developing the next generation, which will be proud to showcase on stage," said Belikove. "For all our shows, we have worked hard to share a very exciting program," she added. "We have brought some tremendous talent to town and hope to continue to do so for the sake of our libraries."

I took the dog for her walk and it was a raw, dark morning. The kind of morning that lets you know that winter is right around the corner. She did her thing; ran after the ball, caught the ball, wagged her tail, waited for next ball. Suddenly, she stopped dead in her tracks and just looked up at the sky. I thought she was sniffing out a coyote or another dog, but she just sat there looking up. And then I saw it too. The first snow, a gentle rain of white dancing down onto the field.
Chloe, the dog, just sat there, watching the flakes fall, looking about as happy as a dog could look. Whereas my first thought was NO! I'm not ready for winter (I have this thought every year around this time). I need more sunshine. I need longer days. I need warmth. And then, as if on cue, the snow started to really fall. A thick white blanket came down on us. I just looked at Chloe and tried to absorb some of her serene acceptance of this turn of events. As we walked back up the hill I saw smoke curling out of our chimney. And in an instant I stopped fighting and remembered the beauty of winter. The stark landscape and the way the naked tree branches look like dancer's arms reaching out. The way home and family takes on new meaning.
Back home I set out to welcome winter in my own way. I got out my big blue stock pot, filled it with the turkey carcass leftover from Thanksgiving, a few onions, carrots, stalks of celery and peppercorns. I covered it with water and set it over a low flame. A few hours later the whole house smelled of something undeniably delicious. I strained the stock and put on a pot of rice. I added some egg yolks and lemon to the broth. Then I chopped up some of the turkey, and put in the cooked rice. Done, Greek-Style Turkey-Lemon Rice Soup. I felt almost as happy as Chloe.

What happens when a person walks around carrying a cup of coffee? A Russian scientist has won an Ig Nobel Prize for finding the answer. The prizes are a parody of the real Nobel Prizes, and are awarded "to make people laugh, and then think".
Rouslan Krechetnikov, a Mechanical Engineering professor at the University of California, Santa Barbara, and his student Hans Mayer were praised for their research into the dynamics of liquid-sloshing.
In simple terms, the challenge was to find out what happens when you start walking around with your cup of coffee. It turned out that the holder will unconsciously adjust their rhythm of walking to the frequency of vibration of the liquid. According to the scientists, coffee gets spilled between the seventh and tenth step.
"While it was obvious to us that the coffee sloshing in a cup should be excited by walking, we could not anticipate that we could quantify coffee spilling," Krechetnikov was quoted as saying.
The young researcher who earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics from the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology will take home the Fluid Dynamics Prize.
Krechetnikov is not the only Russian scientist who picked up the Ig Nobel Prize.
Igor Petrov, an electrical engineer by trade, and his colleagues at the SKN Company have won the Peace prize for converting old military explosives into Nano diamonds that can later be used as light beacons for cancer treatment.
Petrov said he had been working on the project for twenty years without expecting to reap a reward.
This time around the Psychology Prize went to a group of researchers, one of them flying the flag for Russia, Tulio Guadalupe. The title of the study – "Leaning to the Left Makes the Eiffel Tower Seem Smaller" – spoke for itself.
The Anatomy Prize went to Dutch and US researchers for discovering that chimpanzees can identify other chimpanzees individually from seeing photos of their rear ends.
French scientists took home the Medicine Prize for advising doctors who perform colonoscopies how to minimize the chance that their patients will explode.
The Literature Prize was awarded to the US Government Accountability Office, for issuing a report about reports about reports that recommends the preparation of a report about the report about reports about reports.
A group of researchers from America and the U.K won the Physics Prize for calculating the balance of forces that shape and move the hair in a human ponytail.
The Neuroscience Prize went to a group of American researchers for demonstrating that brain researchers, by using complicated instruments and simple statistics, can see meaningful brain activity anywhere — even in a dead salmon.
Japanese researches picked up the Acoustics prize for creating the so called SpeechJammer, a machine that disrupts a person's speech, by making them hear their own spoken words at a very slight delay.
The annual prizes are awarded by the Annals of Improbable Research as an ironic 'step-brother' to the Nobel prizes, due to be announced next month.
"Good achievements can also be odd, funny, and even absurd; so can bad achievements. A lot of good science gets attacked because of its absurdity. A lot of bad science gets revered despite its absurdity," the organizers of the Ig Nobel Prize say.
Former winners of the real Nobels hand out the Ig Nobel awards at a gala ceremony held at Harvard University in Massachusetts.

Many of you act as if Disney brainwashes us all and manipulates us and we are their little zombies, when the reality is, the point of an AP is to save money for everyone, not cater to you more and give you extra discounts because you're a long time pass holder.
I am guessing that since you were a pass holder, you must go to the parks quite often, or enough that you save some amount of money total. I am assuming that since you will not be saving money by getting an AP, you are going to be heading to DL less. It's sad to see someone lose their passion for DL, and their ability to go as much, over the fact that you want lower prices, when you are already saving a lot.

Caitlin Godwin and Haley Wood from Port St. Joe Jr./Sr. High School were among the winners announced recently during the annual Junior Achievement luncheon for its essay contest.
The luncheon was held at the Bonefish Grill in Panama City.
Godwin submitted the winning essay in the high school division and Wood was awarded third place.
Each student received a medallion, gift cards from Target and Walmart and U.S. savings bonds ($100 for Godwin and $50 for Wood) provided by the Panhandle Educators Federal Credit Union.
Carol Cathey, who serves as the JA classroom volunteer in Port St. Joe, was also on hand.
What I learned in Junior Achievement
By Caitlin Godwin
In my Junior Achievement class we learned many skills that are extremely applicable to everyday life. The most important to me, however, was the timeline of life goals we created. My timeline consisted of graduating high school, attending college, getting married, buying a home, having children and retirement. To correspond with each goal, we set a budget. A certain dollar amount was predicted for college tuition, a wedding, a home, each child and a sizeable savings account come retirement time. It really helped me to put the true expenses of things into perspective. Prior to this class, I had never realized the actual expenditures of life, so this exercise really helped me to set feasible goals.
What I Learned in Junior Achievement
By Haley Wood
The most important thing I learned from Junior Achievement was how to properly save and spend money. Learning the importance of these practices are essential and will be very helpful in the future. Having the opportunity to learn these skills will put me a step ahead when it comes to doing this on my own.
Saving money, spending money wisely, balancing a checkbook and learning about banking and loans are all things I will need to know. These are good, yet, common skills that will always be put into play. There is a need in this day and time to know how to do these things, but no class in the present curriculum teaches this principles. Junior Achievement was a great addition to my junior year, allowing me to learn the skills necessary for the future.

The Story
FASHIONS FOR MEN is a comedy of character by Ferenc Molnár, set in a high-class haberdashery in Budapest (serving both men and women). The shop's owner, Peter Juhasz, is a saintly beacon of decency who only sees the good in everyone—making him easy prey for the sinners who surround him. When his wife steals his last dollar and runs off with his top salesman, Peter is on his own, facing bankruptcy. Will he wise up and learn to protect himself from those who would take advantage of his goodness? Or will he persist in seeing the world through the rose-colored lens of his own compassion?
The play was first produced at Budapest's National Theater in 1917. In 1922 it appeared on Broadway as FASHIONS FOR MEN in an English translation by Benjamin Glazer, who had successfully translated Molnár's Liliom the previous year. (Brooks Atkinson of the Times called Liliom "one of the most beautiful plays in the modern theater." It is now best remembered as the source for the musical Carousel.)
FASHIONS turned out to be another Broadway triumph for Molnár. The New York Times praised the play as "a comedy of indescribable freshness and authenticity of character" that revealed "a fresh phase of [Molnár's] versatile genius."
While nearly every review considered the production a success, critics struggled to make sense of the play's remarkable central character. Was Peter Juhasz a man of saintly goodness, or a docile fool? Descriptions of Molnár's protagonist ranged from "unworldly" and "benevolent" to "incompetent" and "pathetic." The Evening Mail called Juhasz "one of the most lovable persons the theater has given us in a long time," while Alexander Woollcott of The New York Herald confided that he "wished he would fall down and break his neck." Particularly frustrated were those critics who found Molnár's intention too ambiguous. "During half the length of the play he makes all manner of fun of his meek hero, but in the end the character has the last laugh on the playwright," wrote Heywood Broun of The World.
Meanwhile, John Corbin of The New York Times revealed a sure grasp on the playwright's intent. In his review, he described the shopkeeper Juhasz as "a character conceived with the most exquisite grace of sympathy." Two weeks later, Corbin wrote a second piece claiming that the play had "suffered seriously because of misapprehension on the part of first-night reporters…here they have a play which presents the human comedy of sainthood with an art of realism as finely true as Liliom was free and fantastic—and they seem sorely perplexed what to make of it…The spirit of human kindness exists in human nature, says Ferenc Molnár, so let us consider it in quite normal surroundings—what it is like and what happens to it…never has character been more freshly sensed in the theatre or more keenly observed."
By Maya Cantu
In the first half of the twentieth century, the Hungarian playwright Ferenc Molnár rose to international acclaim with his cosmopolitan fairy tales for adults. Molnár's plays inventively blended romantic fantasy and sardonic wit; pointed social satire and polished theatricality. Best known today for the mystical folk play Liliom (1922; the basis of the classic musical Carousel) and the sophisticated comedy The Guardsman, Molnár was immensely prolific as a journalist, short story writer, novelist, and the author of forty-two plays, many of which were performed widely throughout Europe and America.
Born as Ferenc Neumann on January 12, 1878, to a middle-class Hungarian-Jewish family, Molnár grew up amid the elegant milieu of Habsburg-era Budapest. Abandoning his early legal studies at the city's Royal College of Science, Molnár set his sights on a career in journalism. He quickly established himself as one of Hungary's most distinguished newspapermen, as well as a fixture of Budapest's vibrant café life. The writer achieved international fame in 1907, with the publication of A Pál utcai fiúk (The Paul Street Boys), his classic novel of Budapest street gangs, as well as the sensational success of his play Az ördög (The Devil). A risqué supernatural comedy of intrigue, the play had four simultaneous productions in New York City alone.
Molnár's theatrical career flourished throughout the next decade. The Hungarian premieres of Liliom (1909), A Testőr (The Guardsman, 1910)) and A Farkas (The Tale of the Wolf; 1912) were followed by productions of these plays in Vienna, Berlin, and Paris, among other European cities. The onset of World War I turned Molnar's efforts toward war correspondence. Despite Austria-Hungary's status as an enemy of the Allies, Molnár's balanced and humane observations of the war earned the distinction of publication in The New York Times.
Following WWI, Molnár earned both popular affection and critical renown as "the best-known living Continental playwright in America" (The Brooklyn Daily Eagle). In 1921, Liliom marked a monumental success for the Theatre Guild, who also mounted the legendary 1924 production of The Guardsman, a comedy of marital roleplaying starring Alfred Lunt and Lynn Fontanne.
While stage productions (as well as many Hollywood film adaptations) of Molnár plays appeared regularly into the 1930s, the rise of Nazism impelled the playwright's 1940 emigration to the United States, where he lived in a room at New York's Plaza Hotel. Sobered by the horrors of two World Wars, Molnár's later plays are characterized by their darker, disenchanted tone. Still a theatrical institution in America and Europe (though banned in Communist Hungary), the playwright died after a long illness in New York in 1952, survived by his third wife, actress Lili Darvas.
Over half a century later, the writer of plays designed with "romantic imagination and colorful sophistication" (Associated Press), and crafted with "virtuoso skill" (The New York Times), Ferenc Molnár elegantly returns to the stage with Fashions for Men.
Mint Theater is proud to offer New York theatergoers Ferenc Molnár's FASHIONS FOR MEN—an elegant blend of European sophistication and sentiment, beautifully tailored by master craftsman. Returning to the Mint to helm our production will be Davis McCallum; last year Davis directed our Drama Desk Award-nominated production of LONDON WALL.

Borah Peak (also known as Mount Borah) is the highest mountain in Idaho. It is located in the central section of the Lost River Range within the Challis National Forest. It is named for William Edgar Borah (1865-1940), U.S. Senator from Idaho serving from 1907 to 1940.
On October 28, 1983 a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck the Borah Peak area. The earthquake lifted Borah Peak . The peak was scarred on the western side and as of May 2008 the mark is still visible.
The normal route on the southwest ridge is a strenuous hike for the most part until one reaches an arête just before the main summit crest. This point is known as "Chickenout Ridge" as many people will abort the attempt once they see the hazards up close. This dangerous crossing involves a traverse over snow, with steeply slanting slopes on either side. An ice axe is strongly recommended for this section. Parties should turn back if there is any doubt about being able to make the crossing.
Borah Peak's north face is one of Idaho's only year-round snow climbs and provides a much greater challenge than the normal route. The face features a number of grade II class 5 routes on mixed terrain.
Three climbers have died on Borah Peak. Two climbers ascending the northwest ridge in 1977 were killed in an avalanche. Another climber in 1987 lost his life on a glissade during descent.

Callum Bracey (Cardiff City fan) says...
i think that it should be brian jensen,roger johnson,danny fox,kilgallon and st ledger midfield we would have lee carsley robbie blake wade elliot and routledger upfront i would have jason scotland and ebanks blake

Adam Searle (Plymouth Argyle fan) says...
My fellow Plymothians make me laugh, Paul Gallagher? he scored a few goals but half the time it looked like he couldn't be bothered, only player with half a chance was Marcel Seip, agree with the many, many, many shouts for Kieran Westwood, everytime i've seen him he's been class.
Posted 01:02 10th June 2009
Alan Lamb (Cardiff City fan) says...
Please to see McCormack in the team, but id rather have jason fat boy Scotland in the team of season, beter all round striker i think, also Roger Johnson is missing player of championship
Posted 18:56 8th June 2009
George Gourdoulis (Liverpool fan) says...
I reckon Scotland had a alright season, Larsson And Brucie
Posted 12:01 8th June 2009
James Tweddell (Sunderland fan) says...
I cannot beleive Chris Eagles isnt in this side, he had a great season! Greg Halford also put in consistent match winning performances for Sheffeild United and needs to come back to Sunderland. Jordi Gomez also deserves a place in the side, god knows why he's in the championship?

Andy londergans been solid all season whats happening here ??
Posted 11:57 5th June 2009
Damian Cox (Preston North End fan) says...
Prestons back five should all get a mention , they have been overworked all season because of our very average midfield. Special praise for keeper Andy Lonergan,probably one of the best shot stoppers in the country, just needs to command his box better then international football beckons.
Posted 19:09 4th June 2009
Huw Kinsey (Cardiff City fan) says...
I am a Cardiff City fan and i think that Roger Johnson and Joe Ledley should be in the team for sure Johnson is alot better than St Ledger and Ledley is better than Wade Elliot simple. I would just like to say that the departure of Roberto Martinez from Swansea is so funny because now i think they will lose the energy he brought to the team also if not Ledley in the team then why not Bodde he was class before he got injured
Posted 18:41 4th June 2009
Stefan Preeb (Plymouth Argyle fan) says...
i cant believe we sold ebanks blake! with him and all our other players, norris, halmosi, capaldi, we could be going for play offs :(
Posted 12:54 3rd June 2009
Rhys Williams (Cardiff City fan) says...
i definately think roger johnson should of been in there,also joe ledley and kevin mcnaughtan deserved to be in there,rhys bluebird fan!come on city top six next yr!

Gary Wooldridge (Wolverhampton Wanderers fan) says...
I cant beleive you would even consider hennessey, I dont miss many games and beleive me he is a shadow of Ikeme and Murray (when fit). There are so many better keepers in this league, Maik Taylor obviously wins by a country mile, followed by Hannerman and maybe Beeeaaasst! I honestly think if we wouldve carried on like we did for the first 10 games then we wouldve have 8 players in this squad! But we slowed down and started grinding out results. . . Good luck for every team in the championship next season!
Posted 17:54 1st June 2009
Paul Cafe (Charlton Athletic fan) says...
we have not had a great season mainly due to poor attack and defence but we have had 3 greay exeptions so where is jon joe shelvy-ok maybe he is a bit young at the moment but nick baily should be there and definatly zheng zhi
Posted 11:48 1st June 2009
Chris Howes (Wolverhampton Wanderers fan) says...
The trouble with having Michael Kightly is that he was never near 100% after Reading at Molineux so for the majority of the season we missed his true potential but in those first few games we absolutely squashed the opposition. Overall I think Matt Jarvis had a better season but both of them could have been left out. As for Ebanks-Blake and Foley, they are something else and had to get in the team of the season! Some of the performances that Foley put in were so good that on several occasions I could not imagine how a full-back could have a better game, Barnsley at home being the prime example and that's why I voted for him for Wolves player of the season. Ebanks-Blake can turn a game on his own and a number of times at Molineux this season when there was a goal towards the North stand you could bet your house that the PA would start playing KC and the Sunshine Band! Onward and Upward!

As a wendysdayite i may be seen as a bit biased however when there is no lee grant (scouted by cappello) or PFA player of year tudgay then it is a bit of a rubbish team. After watching temas home and away my team is: Grant(sheff wed) RB:Nauhgton (blades) CB'S:Johnson + Craddock (cardiff and wolves) LB: Fox (Coventry) RW:Jamal Campbell Ryce (barnsley) LW: (

James Fletcher (Hull City fan) says...
Im a Hull City Fan. I think though one player who isn't in there should get a massive pat on the back is JASON SCOTLAND. He has placed swansea city on the right tracks to championship sucess and if there chairman puts good funding into the club Then swansea city could have a excellant couple of seasons ahead of them.
Posted 00:28 28th May 2009
Phil Smith (Southampton fan) says...
What about Kelvin Davis? What about Chris Perry? What about Saganowski? Southampton do not deserve to be where they are now. You talk about Maik Taylor who you could say is very inconsistent, I have never heard of Kevin Foley but i am sure that everyone has heard of Chris Perry
Posted 00:22 28th May 2009
Sam Lockwood (Coventry City fan) says...
can't believe that gunnarsson , westwood or dann is not in the team - peter only picks the players from the teams in the top 5 - at least 4 cov players should be there. also jason scotland( swansea) or nicky bailey (chartlon) arent in either.

why no players from the best footballing side in the division ?.Doncaster rovers

what about paddy kenny?? most clean sheets this season!! think tommy spurr could be in there aswell and thats coming from a blade. kyle naughton also deserves a mention

Out of the Box
Heres how she looks if rendered straight out of the box, as I said earlier, the tires come as white rubber, while it was certainly possible even as late as 1924 to buy white rubber tires, it just wasn't what was being provided, tires like everything else on a car get dirty, and on white rubber tires, I would imagine it would show up, so manufacturers didn't typically make their tires white, although the more expensive cars line Lincoln and Caddilac did have whitewall tires.
The actually loads with P.D. on the sides, that is obviously removable via deleting it, as it is just a separate mesh, however, here is what she looks like out of the box, not bad really, even though the textures are designed for Poser, this was loaded into DS4.5 Pro.

Mike Leach is probably wondering why he decided to take the Washington State job after this latest incident. CBSSports.com is reporting that Washington State wide receiver Drew Loftus was arrested early Friday after he tried to steal two bottles of tequila, by putting them down his pants. He was given misdemeanor citations for third-degree theft, minor in possession of alcohol and minor intoxicated in public before being released. Loftus reported walked into the Dissmore's Grocery Store in Pullman, and shoved two bottles of tequila down his pants. Loftus then tried to purchase two carton of eggs, instead of just leaving the store. When police arrived, they notice Loftus was already intoxicated. Purely genius on his part.

An Imperfect Life: On George and W.B. Yeats
The time is 1917; the place, London. The war is on. You are a young woman, attractive, well-off, fluent in French, German and Italian. Since no adequate translation of Pico della Mirandola exists, you translate the Renaissance Neo-Platonist's Latin yourself. But while your interest in esoteric philosophy leads you to become a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, your eyes are wide open. You volunteer for the Red Cross. You are immersed in London's literary avant-garde. After all, your best friend is married to the American poet Ezra Pound. Your friend's mother was once the lover of W.B. Yeats, whom Pound considers the greatest living poet—hardly an idiosyncratic opinion.
You have had no love affairs of consequence. When Yeats, a 51-year-old bachelor, once again proposes to Maud Gonne (the Irish actress and political activist with whom he'd fallen in love as a young man), she declines. When Yeats then proposes to Maud's daughter, Iseult, she also declines; Iseult would later have an affair with Pound. A month later, when Yeats proposes to you, you accept. At 11:20 in the morning on October 20, 1917, you are married in the Harrow Road Registry Office; the witnesses are Pound and your mother.
"I think [this] girl both friendly, serviceable & very able," writes Yeats to an old friend. "She is under the glamour of a great man 30 years older than herself & with a talent for love-making," reports your mother. Honeymooning in the Ashdown Forest Hotel in Sussex, you cast a horary (an astrological chart designed to answer a particular question at a particular place and time). "Per dimandera [domandare] perche noi siamo infelice," you write in a language you know your husband does not understand—"to ask why we are unhappy." The discombobulated Yeats is writing letters to Iseult; he is writing poems: "O but her heart would break to learn my thoughts are far away." A decade later, now the mother of two young children, the wife of a Nobel Prize–winning poet, you write "burn this when read" at the top of a letter to a close friend: "had I known that all this might happen I should certainly never have had a family!"
This is one way of describing the life of Bertha Georgie Hyde Lees Yeats, the fascinating woman who devoted her entire adult life to the needs and, after his death, reputation of an indisputably great poet, a poet with whose poems (qua poems) we are only beginning to come to terms, despite the poet's prominent place in the canon. "The intellect of man is forced to choose/Perfection of the life, or of the work," wrote Yeats in "The Choice," and it would seem that, for him, the choice was clear. He could be an arch, distant father ("Who is it you are looking for?" he once asked his daughter when meeting her at the family gate), a husband expert at affecting incompetence at simple everyday tasks so that his purchase on greatness might be presumed. Once, when worried about his eyesight, George sent him a new lamp. "What oil do I put in it?" he asked. "The lamp of course consumes lamp oil," she wrote back. "You could surely not have imagined that it demanded Sanctuary oil, or olive oil?" Easily, as George knew well, her husband could have imagined that it demanded Sanctuary oil. When asked how it felt to "live with a genius," George replied, "Oh alright, I never notice." Her devotion did not wobble, but she was no one's fool.
* * *
There is something wrong, something too ingeniously self-forgiving, about Yeats's distinction between perfection of the life and perfection of the work. Yeats was a formidable guy; he lived in a medieval tower, he talked with dead people, he wrote some of the most beautiful lyric poems in the language. But nobody has a perfect life. Every life is enriched by disappointment, driven by compromise, and to suggest that one might have been a good person if only one had not been a great artist is to diminish the integrity of art. It is to suggest that art is not fueled by human experience—from the aesthetic to the political to the apocalyptic—but somehow transpires beside or beyond it. Ann Saddlemyer's recently published edition of the lifelong correspondence between Willy and George allows us to witness the complexities of life and art entwined.
Saddlemyer is a meticulous scholar of a kind now increasingly rare. She has published crucial editions of the plays of Yeats's close friends J.M. Synge and Augusta Gregory; she has also edited Synge's letters. Unlike most meticulous editors, however, Saddlemyer is also an elegant writer with a keen sense of proportion. Her biography of George Yeats, Becoming George: The Life of Mrs. W.B. Yeats, published in 2002, is uncommonly readable, marked by an acuity of emotional and literary insight lacking in the otherwise distinguished standard biography of Yeats himself (by the historian Roy Foster). It's safe to say that Saddlemyer's biography, to which the Yeats family letters are crucial, is more fun to read than the letters themselves.
This is in some ways inevitable. Willy and George were often separated by professional duties, but the distance and the duration were usually short. Their letters consequently tend to skip the leisurely evocations of daily life one associates with a rich correspondence, jumping quickly to the pressing matters of the moment—the sickness of a child (Anne and Michael Yeats were often seriously ill), the restoration of Ballylee (the tower the Yeats family sometimes called home), a question about the Abbey Theatre (of which Yeats was a director), the fate of the Cuala Press (which was haphazardly run by Yeats's sisters, the aptly named Lily and Lolly, who lived together but despised each other).
Yet the letters nonetheless embody something that no biographical narrative can convey: tone. Quoted outside the context of the ongoing correspondence, George's remark about the oil lamp ("you could surely not have imagined that it demanded Sanctuary oil") sounds exasperated, which it is, but the remark is also clever, bemused, loving, generous, meant to entertain—part of an intricately textured exchange between two people who know each other as well or better than they know themselves. So while Willy seems at times the absent patriarch, the dad who loves his work, it's also clear that George managed his absences, even condoning the last-gasp amorous liaisons of his final years; she appreciated help with the doddering "tiger," as she called him behind his back. "When do you want me," wrote a plaintive Willy, hungry for news of home. "My only distress is absence from you & I miss you always, & when I see a lovely sight—evening light on the beeches or the light—long for you that I may talk of it. Is not love being idle together & happy in it."
* * *
Still, these letters represent only a small part of the intricate correspondence of Willy and George Yeats. Think back to the autumn of 1917. Stuck in the Ashdown Forest Hotel, her four-day-old marriage a disaster, George began (by her own admission) to "fake" automatic writing in order to entertain her despondent husband: she then felt her hand seized by an unseen power. Willy described what happened next in the revised edition of A Vision (1937), the esoteric account of all human history and personality that the automatic writing ultimately made possible:
What came in disjointed sentences, in almost illegible writing, was so exciting, sometimes so profound, that I persuaded her to give an hour or two day after day to the unknown writer, and after some half-dozen such hours offered to spend what remained of life explaining and piecing together those scattered sentences, "No," was the answer, "we have come to give you metaphors for poetry."
Over the next several years, Willy and George produced more than 3,600 pages of script, his questions, her answers. This is their most intimate exchange, and it is almost never referred to in the actual letters Willy and George wrote to each other.
The first few days of automatic writing have not been preserved (the remainder having lately been transcribed and edited by George Mills Harper and a fleet of assistants), so there is no record of Yeats being assured that the spirits had contacted him, through his wife, to further his poetic career. George remembered the initial contact differently: "What you have done is right for both the cat and the hare," she scribbled, confident that her husband would understand that the hare was Iseult Gonne and the cat was herself, which he did. In the approximately 450 sessions of automatic writing that followed, the intimate sex life of George and Willy Yeats looms as prominently as metaphors for poetry (though Willy would go on to write great poems about sex). "What is important," says one spirit through George, is "that both the desire of the medium and her desire for your desire should be satisfied." Willy is advised to keep up his strength by making love to his wife more than once a day: "it is like not taking enough exercise & a long walk exhausts you." "You mean," asked Willy, "by doing it once I will lose power of doing it twice." Yes, came the answer, "& then of doing it once."
The automatic script ranges widely over innumerable topics; it is often tedious; it calls on vast reserves of esoteric knowledge.
