Your article on brain training included the puzzle below (12 January, p 26). You give the answer as 53, apparently by numbering the rows and columns starting at the bottom right corner, and appending the row number to the column number.
Another solution would be: the first digit in one column plus the first digit in the next-but-one column always add up to 10.
This would mean the first digit in each column is, from left to right: 9, 6, 1, 4, 9, 6, 1.
To find the second digit look at the row instead - the second digit in one row and the second digit in the next-but-one row add up to 6.
Therefore the second digit in each row, from top to bottom, is 1, 2, 5, 4, 1, 2, 5. This gives the answer 11.
A simpler solution is to assume that the numbers in any ...

Opinions on this one?
Just found this on CL. I'd like to get a little dual sport to take to work over the winter and hit a few trails once in a while. What do you think? Guy's asking $700. I'm pretty good with carbs, but I'd rather be riding than chasing a gremlin around all winter.

Chief Executive welcomes East Asian Games flag
The Chief Executive, Mr Donald Tsang, tonight (November 6) received the East Asian Games Association (EAGA) flag at Olympic Square in Hong Kong Park, signifying the transfer of the hosting rights of the 2009 East Asian Games (EAG) to Hong Kong.
"The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government, the sports sector and the people of Hong Kong will work together to stage a successful 2009 East Asian Games," Mr Tsang said after receiving the flag from the Secretary for Home Affairs, Dr Patrick Ho and Chairman of the 5th East Asian Games Planning Committee, Mr Timothy Fok.
The flag was handed over to Dr Patrick Ho and Mr Timothy Fok at the closing ceremony of the 4th EAG in Macau and was taken back immediately to Hong Kong for the flag welcome ceremony.
Young athletes, sports organisations and members from various District Councils attended the event to show the sports sector and the community's support for the 2009 EAG.
Community and business leaders, including Dr Stanley Ho; Dr Lam Sai-wing; Mr Wilfred Ng Sau-kei; Mr Raymond Lee Man-chun; and Mr Tang Kam-hung attended the ceremony to present sponsorship cheques in support of the 5th EAG.
The flag welcome ceremony was witnessed by members of the public who visited the park and enjoyed a garden party held near the artificial lake.

Port St. Joe Elementary School's John Nolan Treglown summarized what he and his class had learned crafting a project to celebrate notable figures in the African-American history.
"It would be really hard to be judged not by your skills but by the color of your skin," said the mature-beyond-his years sixth-grader.
Treglown and classmate Lauren Tomlinson and the rest of their class put together a poster of the Red Tails, a noted Army Air Force division memorialized in a major motion picture several years ago.
They were noted for the red tails they painted on their planes and for overcoming discrimination to become a fighting force of distinction during World War II.
"We were learning about them in class anyway," Treglown said. "We learned that the Red Tails were the first African-American flying division and they didn't have very good planes because people wanted to shut them down."
Tomlinson picked up the tale, "Due to discrimination people wanted to shut them down because they didn't think black people should be in the Army. Even the whites didn't want them.
"What we learned is that people in the Army should fight together, regardless of the color of their skin."
The school set out to celebrate Black History Month with a project to highlight as many famous African-Americans as possible.
Each class drew a name from a bucket; or in the case of Treglown's and Tomlinson's class, picked an individual or organization they were studying.
From there, each class settled on a course for putting together what amounted to a science project, but this one profiling a prominent, and in some cases obscure, African-American of note.
There were projects based on Oprah Winfrey, Wally Amos of cookie fame, President Barack Obama, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr. and Jackie Robinson.
There were also projects about Jan Ernst Matzleiger, who invented the shoe making machine; Bessie Coleman, the first African-American woman pilot; Garrett Morgan, who invented the hair-straightener, stoplight and gas mask; and "Aunt" Susie Hartsfield from Two Egg who returned to school in the 1970s at the age of 102 and was taught, in part, by the mother of a teacher at Port St. Joe Elementary School.
"We had Charles Drew who was the first person to store blood," said fifth-grader Jazmyne Farmer. "We broke the project into parts. It was fun coming together and learning about people. We did a lot of teamwork. We did great."
The fourth-grade class of Lauren Jenkins selected Alex Haley, most known for his autobiography of Malcolm X as well as his groundbreaking book Roots, which became a much-lauded television miniseries.
"He was a journalist and got his start in the Coast Guard," Jenkins said, before noting the title of the project, "Find the good and praise it." "I like that. Find the good and praise it. That is cool."

YIELD: Makes about 34 sandwiches
Make chicken salad:
In a large bowl whisk together the lime juice, the salt, the chili powder, the coriander, the mint, and the sugar, stir in the chicken, the shallot, and the scallion, and stir in the mayonnaise. (The chicken salad may be made 1 day in advance and kept overed and chilled.)
Cut the bread into 1/3-inch-thick slices, spread each of half the slices with a scant 2 tablespoons of the chicken salad, and top the chicken salad with the remaining slices. Cut each sandwich in half. Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise on one of the edges of each sandwich and dip it in the parsley.

Fifa consider rule changes
Five potential law changes are on the agenda at the International Football Association Board's annual meeting.
Last Updated: 05/03/10 11:36am
Five potential law changes are on the agenda at the International Football Association Board's annual meeting.
The Board have the power to make any alterations that might be deemed necessary when they convene in Zurich on Saturday.
Fifa are keen for the custodians of the rules to discuss whether players who concede penalties should also be sent off.
The current triple-punishment means that somebody who denies the opposing team a goal-scoring opportunity is often red carded and handed a suspension as well as giving away a spot-kick.
Another issue is the feinting of run-ups when penalties are taken, with players currently allowed to stop and start if it just confuses an opponent rather than amounts to unsporting behaviour.
The role of the fourth official will also be looked into, as well as the use of additional assistant referees.
Fifa president Sepp Blatter has backed further experimentation but has rejected calls for five officials to be used at the World Cup to help spot infringements in the penalty area.
The clamour for the extra officials at South Africa grew when Thierry Henry's handball helped France qualify at the expense of Republic of Ireland.
The subject of goal-line technology will also be debated by the IFAB, which is made up of the Football Associations of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, who each have one vote, and Fifa which has four.
Six votes are required for a rule to be changed.

Thursday, Arkansans for Responsible Medicine announced the withdraw of their initiative, a move that pleased Melissa Fults, Campaign Director of Arkansans for Compassionate Care.
"We are delighted that the confusion over the 2014 Medical Cannabis Initiative has ended. Arkansans for Compassionate Care worked very hard to improve the 2012 initiative by making changes that included affordable access for patients, the ability for every patient to have access, and legal protection for both care givers and patients. Two initiatives would have only hurt the cause. We can safely move forward in our signature drive, get on the ballot, & give Arkansans the option of using medical cannabis instead of the harmful drugs that are their only choice at this time," Fults said. Fults also said her group is about a third of the way to the 62,507 signatures needed to get their measure in front of voters.
Medical marijuana made it to the ballot for the November 2012 election, but did not pass. Here's a breakdown of the 2012 election results:
49% voted for
51% voted against
Difference less than 30,000 votes
13 of Arkansas' 75 counties passed the medical marijuana issue

Barely three weeks after the Benue State Governor Gabriel Suswam raised an alarm that suspected members of the Boko Haram sect were after his life, a kingpin of the group, Ali Jalingo, yesterday escaped arrest in Gboko town of Gboko Local Government Area of the state when security operatives raided the area in search of him.
LEADERSHIP gathered that the raid which took place in Gboko South, at about 3:00am Sunday morning was characterised by exchange of gunshots from the operatives and some some gunmen, and in the process Jalingo escaped.
The Benue State Police Command said yesterday that it was a military team from Abuja, including soldiers and men of the State Security Service (SSS) that carried out the operation, denying that the police in Benue were involved.
Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), DSP Daniel Ezeala who spoke to LEADERSHIP on phone said "it was not the police in Benue that carried out the operation. The incident happened in Gboko Benue State but it was the military and the state security service in Abuja that carried it out. And so we (Benue police command) cannot give the details of the incident and I cannot tell you anything more than that."
Meanwhile, it was further gathered that Jalingo had rented an apartment behind an Islamic primary school in Gboko South belonging to one individual identified as 'Dan Tsoho'.
Jalingo who is said to have hailed from Niger Republic and was declared wanted in connection with various bombings in Borno and other parts of Northern Nigeria was alleged to have been in Gboko town for some time now. He had reportedly lodged at a new hotel in Gboko before renting the apartment in Gboko South Metropolis, the Tiv ancestral home.
According to an eye witness, who simply gave his name as Mohammed, "There were gunshots around Gboko South in the early hours of Sunday, precisely 3am. People thought it was thieves on rampage. But as the day broke, a source from that part of the town told our correspondent that soldiers were after a suspected Boko Haram agent, Ali Jalingo."
"This evening, at about 6pm, bulldozers were sited at the vicinity doing their job. Five minutes later, the house was reduced to rubbles. Some residents were said to have deserted the area while sighting the presence of heavily armed security personnel", he said.

Wrangler girls surprise Wind River
Feb 3, 2014 - By Randy Tucker, Sports Writer
The win lifts the Wranglers to 2-3 in conference play,while the Cougars dropped to 3-22 with the loss.
SHOSHONI -- The Shoshoni girls threw the proverbial monkey wrench into the Class 2-A Southwest standings with a 51-26 win over a shor-thanded Wind River team Friday night at home.
The win lifts the Wranglers to 2-3 in conference play, while the Cougars dropped to 3-2 with the loss.
The game ends the regular-season series between the two longtime rivals with a win each.
Wind River coach Justin Walker played Friday's contest without three starters, who missed the game for a variety of reasons.
Wind River traded baskets with Shoshoni in the early going, but the pace was set by the Wranglers from the start. It was a more frenetic pace than the Cougars could handle.
Trailing 9-7 with 5:41 remaining in the opening period, the Wranglers blew the game open on a determined 11-0 run that didn't stop until Wind River's Whisper Sunrhodes hit a layup with 3:15 left in the half.
The game's tempo was established by Shoshoni junior Olivia Thompson, whose quickness and distance runner's endurance left the Cougars panting in her wake for much of the contest.
Thompson drained a variety of off balance, twisting shots during the Wrangler run.
Leading 24-14 entering the third, Shoshoni quickly ended any hopes of a Wind River rally.
Thompson cooled off from the floor, and the pace slowed a bit, but Shoshoni had another weapon in sophomore Raine Pingetzer ,who was deadly with short jump shots from the high post.
Thompson tallied 16 and Pingetzer 14 to lead Shoshoni, but five other girls tallied points. Junior Annika Dechert narrowly missed double figures with nine, including a solid five of six from the free-throw line.
On the night, the Wranglers were 21 of 35 from the line, while the Cougars suffered in that category as well, hitting only four of 18 attempts from the stripe.
The foul count was indicative of Wind River's tired legs, with most of the infractions coming after Shoshoni had penetrated to point-blank range on the low block.
A telling sequence came with 2:43 left in the third, when Thompson raced through the middle of the Cougar defense in transition and found guard Tarisha Parrish wide open via a full-speed bounce pass. Parrish's bucket doubled the score at 36-18. Shoshoni never looked back.
The Wranglers hit the road for the long trek to Kemmerer and Big Piney next weekend.
Wind River entertains Class 1-A Dubois on Friday, then travels to Riverside Saturday.
Shoshoni - Annika Dechert 2 5-6 9, Tarisha Parrish 2 0-0 4, Raine Pingetzer 5 4-9 14, Katelyn Jennings 2 1-2 5, Audrya Tarango 3-4 3, Raimee Dempster 0-2 0, Olivia Thompson 4 8-12 16; Totals 15 21-35 51
Wind River - Josee Vogel 2 2-6 6, Tory Thoman 1 1-6 3, Whisper Sunrhodes 1 0-0 2, Macayla Arrington 5 0-1 10, Chola Bell 2 1-3 5, Michaun Yellowplume; Totals 11 4-18 26

Actor Abhay Deol who turned producer with One By Two dispels reports about his financial crisis and is optimistic that the tussle over the royalty issue involving music artistes and record labels will eventually be resolved.
As he engages eagerly into a conversation, one can see that Abhay Deol has gotten over the debacle of One By Two, his maiden home production. The slice-of-life comedy in which he was paired with real life beau, Preeti Desai didn't fare well at the box-office. Understandably, the actor, who after eight years of having been part of the film industry decided to turn producer, was disappointed. But, like he says, 'we all move on in life, putting our failures behind us'.
"Sometimes things work and sometimes they don't. Generally when things go well, we don't question why. It's only when things go wrong that we start to analyse . But I always scrutinise the reasons on both occasions; when things go well, I wonder what worked in the film's favour and when things don't hit the mark, I ponder as to why it happened. In the case of One By Two I don't think I really know the answers. I can only guess. But judging by what people have told me, it's an actor with my sensibilities trying to make a more commercial project which didn't work for it. In the past too, I had always maintained 'let's go against the commercial stance' which worked most of the time. People wanted to see me in the Manorama Six Feet Under and Oye Lucky! Lucky Oye! kind of films. Something that is edgy, character-driven, you know, a film in which there's one central character that carries the film," dimpled Deol.
Going into flashback mode, the actor says that he was in a worse position after the edgy Manorama Six Feet Under that only got appreciation over a period of time. "Even Manorama didn't do that well when it released, it's over time that people started to say that it is a great film. So you never know. Even when my debut film, Socha Na Tha first released, people said, 'what is this?'. So this kind of reaction was there even before."
One By Two released in January this year, and the actor has bounced back and is raring to go. The debacle has not put Deol off production, but it has made him cautious to the kind of films he should produce. "I had a good time shooting it, Viacom (Viacom 18 Motion Pictures) was a very supportive studio and I worked with good people. But, now I will become a better producer than before. I have understood that as an actor I should do commercial films and as a producer, I should do the opposite, sticking to making films which are not commercial," he said with a laugh.
Presently, he is concentrating on some acting assignments—he has signed …continued »

Millie Zealand, who ran the Grange Road Dolls Hospital
Chris Lloyd, Deputy Editor / / Echo Memories
DOLLS - hairless, eyeless, toothless, speechless, armless, headless. . . but no casualty is beyond the healing powers of Mrs Mildred Zealand, the kindly matron-cum-surgeon at the Darlington Dolls Hospital."
Loading article content
The hospital was at No 23 Grange Road - currently The Gallery - and, as recent Echo Memories have shown, is well remembered.
But now we have the whole story. Peter Zealand, son of Mildred, has been in touch from deepest, darkest Doncaster.
The business was begun by Peter's grandparents, Charles and Lillian Ruddock, who arrived in Darlington from Stockton around the time of the First World War. They started a business: Charles concentrated on repairing watches, Lillian taking in dolls.
"My mother could remember as a small child seeing soldiers and horses through the archway in the stables behind No 23, " says Peter. Minories garage later occupied the premises behind the dolls hospital.
Hospital life was one of fiddly clutter, with the innards of both dolls and watches filling the ground floor of the family home. Millie tried to escape, moving with her husband Christopher Zealand - a cabinet-maker from Middlesbrough - to London.
But the Second World War started; their windows were blown out in the Blitz, and Millie returned to safety in Darlington and to dolls.
"She can get through 30 operations an evening, " said the Northern Despatch in 1957.
"She sets to work with saw, pliers, glue, wire, elastic and hooks, and soon the disabled and debilitated are back on their feet. Once again, curls gleam, cheeks are rosy, lips are a scarlet flame, eyebrows flicker flirtatiously."
Promoted stories
Peter grew up among spare dolls limbs, growlers (voiceboxes that made teddies growl or feminine dolls say "mam-ma"), false eyelashes and wigs galore (made out of either nylon or real human hair).
"Sales reps called to offer samples for mother to buy, so that dolly could be transformed from a blonde to a brunette overnight with a new wig, " he says. "My mother would sit and fix things with little more than pearl woodwork glue heated in a pan on the fire, wire hooks to grab elastic inside the dolls, fireplace cement to set eyes in place, and a few clever touches with paint to give lips and cheeks a rosy hue."
Dolls would come from all over the country - indeed, the world - to be repaired in Grange Road.
The Zealands moved to Park Lane in 1970 and the dolls hospital closed. Mildred died five years ago in Middleton Hall nursing home.
MANY thanks to everyone who has been in touch about the hospital. "It brought back memories for both my husband, Ralph, and myself, who worked in Grange Road in the 1950s, " writes Pam Davison. Ralph was an apprentice mechanic at Minories; Pam worked in the offices of the Motor Delivery Company - our 1956 picture shows its petrol forecourt, with attendant Jim Gent.
"I had to go along Grange Road every day, past the Minories' apprentices who would sit on the windowledge ofthe garage showroom and whistle at passing girls, " says Pam, who has now been married to Ralph for 49 years.
THE worldwide web makes the wide world a much smaller place. Valerie Smith (nee Mitchell) e-mails from Melbourne, Australia, to reminisce about the dolls hospital and about railway snowdrifts. She's an exDarlingtonian, a former Technical College pupil.
"My late father, Syd Mitchell, was a member of the tool vans which went out from Bank Top to assist any derailed railway engines or carriages, " she says.
"He really enjoyed being called out in the middle of the night to an overturned engine as his crew always took a cook with them, and they would enjoy a slap-up meal in their tool van afterwards."
More importantly, over a distance of many decades and thousands of miles, Valerie wants to apologise.
"We lived in Brinkburn Drive, and I recall a cold winter's day when I was clearing snow from the front path, " she says. "It had got quite slushy and a friend, Bernie B, a nice chap who lived at the top end of the street, had just bought a loaf of bread for his mother. He chatted to me at our gate and I suddenly knocked the unwrapped bread from under his arm and on to the slushy ground.
"He was very good about it, but I have always remembered that incident, thinking what a dreadful thing it was. In those days there was not much money around and I expect his family, like mine, were having a hard time making ends meet.
"Whenever I return to Darlington, I try to find him to apologise - so I hope he reads this."

A project to build a convention center near O'Hare International Airport has been temporarily stopped by a federal judge after a government lawsuit accused the developer of trying to bilk Chinese investors out of millions of dollars.
Anshoo Sethi's plan to attract foreign investors for his Chicago Convention Center project was detailed in a Tribune article last July that laid out the promise and problems of the rapidly growing EB-5 visa program.
Securities and Exchange Commission this month, Sethi is accused of using false documents to pump up his project. The lawsuit seeks to force Sethi to return $145 million he collected from about 250 investors, most of them Chinese. The SEC also says Sethi wrongfully transferred $2.5 million from investors into a personal bank account in Hong Kong.
Sethi envisioned the convention center on land where his family's struggling, run-down Chicago O'Hare Garden Hotel once stood at 8201 W. Higgins Road. The site remains vacant and littered with debris after the troubled hotel was demolished in November.
As part of the SEC lawsuit, filed Feb. 6 in Chicago and unsealed last week, a federal judge has ordered that Sethi's project be temporarily stopped. The judge also ordered that Sethi's assets be seized and that investors' money that left the United States be returned to this country.
If the project unravels, it's likely Sethi's investors would lose at least some of their money and, for now, their hopes of making it into the U.S. through the EB-5 program, said financial analysts familiar with the program.
"People are trying to figure out how they can get their money back," said Punyu Ho, a Chicago-based financial analyst with Chinese clients who have invested money in other EB-5 projects.
Sethi, 29, did not respond to several messages requesting comment on the lawsuit and its allegations.
The SEC suit is the latest allegation of fraud to confront the EB-5 program, which federal authorities say has leveraged $6.2 billion in foreign investments since it was launched in 1990.
Officials at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, which administers the EB-5 program, say it is responsible for creating about 49,300 jobs through projects that have included a Vermont ski resort, the home of the Brooklyn Nets NBA basketball team, and hotels and restaurants across the country.
Local EB-5 projects include assisted living centers for the elderly in suburban Chicago and Wisconsin. So far, nearly 13,600 people have been admitted to the U.S. through the program, with nearly 4,900 placed on the path toward citizenship, federal statistics show.
The program's recent growth can be traced to the economic downturn that began in late 2007. Cash-strapped developers began flocking to China, where an economic expansion has created thousands of newly minted millionaires.
But the promise of a new life in America is frequently undermined by the complex realities of pulling together development deals that can create the number of jobs required for investors and their families to qualify for legal permanent residency, critics of the program say.
A recent surge of failed EB-5 projects that caused investors to lose money has prompted increased vigilance from Citizenship and Immigration Services and the SEC. Both agencies say they've seen more examples lately of projects that merit investigating.
Officials at Citizenship and Immigration Services say they have assisted the SEC in its investigation into Sethi's company, Intercontinental Regional Center Trust of Chicago LLC. The agency is monitoring the federal lawsuit to determine whether to discipline Sethi or boot him from the program, spokesman William Wright said.
"Our partnership in this case will serve as further notice to the community that USCIS remains vigilant and will take all measures to combat fraud and malfeasance in this program, Wright said in an emailed statement. The agency could not say how the case would affect the visa applications from investors, he said.
Sethi's project, which he says would create 8,000 jobs, has been heavily promoted in China and was at one time endorsed by Illinois officials. During a trip to China in fall 2011, Gov. Pat Quinn spoke favorably of Sethi during a promotional ceremony in Beijing. Warren Ribley, the former head of the state Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, appeared in a promotional video for Sethi's project.
Department officials in July said Ribley's appearance in the video was a mistake. And the governor's office demanded that Sethi stop using Quinn's appearances in promotional material. State officials say they have no plans to support the project.
The SEC accuses Sethi of spending most of the $11 million in administrative fees collected from investors, who are required to kick in $41,500 each. That money is supposed to be refunded to investors if a project unravels.

Louisville, KY (PRWEB) April 15, 2014
Texas Physical Therapy Specialists (TexPTS), Evansville-based ProRehab, and North Carolina's BreakThrough Physical Therapy (BTPT) have become preeminent providers of outpatient physical therapy in their respective regions, thanks to a new compassionate care training initiative aimed at improving patient care, results and overall recovery process.
Called to Care is an online course, developed by Evidence In Motion, that was designed to shift healthcare away from deeply impersonal care towards an enhanced commitment among caretakers to high quality patient connections with an emphasis on compassion and empathy. The training program gives therapists the tools they need to focus more on personalized patient care with compassion at its core. TexPTS, ProRehab, and BTPT are the only three practices in the United States taking part in this training while actively monitoring the results with a validated instrument, the Consultation and Relational Empathy (CARE) Measure.
"Called to Care has truly changed the way our PT's treat and interact with patients," said Dr. Larry Benz, DPT, OCS, MBA, co-creator of Called to Care, and part owner of TexPTS, ProRehab, and BTPT. "In today's cookbook healthcare environment, it's not uncommon for the patient and their specific needs can be totally ignored. The Called to Care training, based on research findings emphasizing empathy, listening, and compassion, is more important than ever as we try to shift away from that norm and back towards high quality connections with patients."
In addition to the online portion, Dr. Benz conducts an internal onsite session where he meets with employees to give an overview of Called to Care and it's guiding principles. There are also group sessions where employees share stories of remarkable experiences with patients and then focus on the successful steps that led to these experiences.
"We've had great feedback from our patients since implementing Called to Care training," said Andrea Baumann, owner of ProRehab. "We are focusing more on the connecting with people, learning more about their lifestyle and goals to create a treatment plan customized to reflect those goals. We're thrilled with the results and believe this will have a huge impact on the patients in our community."
About PT Development:
PT Development (PTD), founded by Larry Benz, PT, DPT, is a Louisville, Kentucky-based private equity company focused on adding value to healthcare organizations by cultivating quality, customer service, advocacy leadership and innovation. Benz's entrepreneurial success began when he founded the Louisville-based Kentucky Orthopedic Rehab Team (KORT). In 2007, Benz sold his interest in KORT and focused his efforts on PTD's startups such as TexPTS, Indiana-based ProRehab, Evidence In Motion (EIM), and several others. PTD offers the following management services: evidence-based practice, patient loyalty, regulatory assurance, marketing and branding, clinic operations, hiring and retention, strategy, accounting and finance, and customer service.

Cuba: Dissidents suffer violent crackdown
More on the arrest of Jorge Luis Garica Perez "Antunuez", his wife Yris Perez Aguilera, and other dissidents targeted today's police repression in Cuba.
Cuban Dissidents Suffer Violent Crackdown
at 3:36 PM Wednesday, June 11, 2014
The Castro regime has unleashed a violent crackdown against Cuba's democracy leaders.
Here's a summary:
At 6 A.M., Castro's secret police ransacked the home of Cuban democracy leader, Jorge Luis Garcia Perez "Antunez." He was beaten and arrested, along with his wife, Yris Perez Aguilera.
Roberto Guerra, a Cuban independent journalist and head of the Hablemos Press news service, was beaten by Castro's security agents (pictured below).
Martha Beatriz Roque, former prisoner of conscience, was also intercepted and beaten outside her home.
Twelve members of The Ladies in White, including its leader Berta Soler, were arrested as they tried to attend a trial involving one of their colleagues, Yanelis Cutino.
A half-dozen members of the Cuban Patriotic Union (UNPACU), including its leader Jose Daniel Ferrer, were intercepted, beaten and arrested as they traveled from Santiago de Cuba to Las Tunas.
For the 22nd week in a row, 27 UNPACU activists were arrested in Santa Clara, including its regional leader, Sakarov Prize recipient Guillermo Farinas, who is facing threats of being confined to a psychiatric hospital.
More "reform" you can't believe in.

Opposition to SB 1062 begins pushing back
PHOENIX -- As much of the opposition to SB 1062 considers the bill's veto by Gov. Jan Brewer on Wednesday a major victory, some are now going on the offensive.
A group of more than a dozen people came to the state capitol Thursday armed with a petition, calling for two of the bill's strongest supporters to vow to never work again with the Center for Arizona Policy, which lobbied for the legislation, and its president, Cathi Herrod.
"They could move forward. They could be held accountable to taxpayers and not to the Center for Arizona Policy, and not to Cathi Herrod," said Beto Soto, field director of Citizens for a Better Arizona, which opposed SB 1062.
The petitions were brought to the offices of Sens. Steve Yarbrough and Al Melvin, who supported the legislation and helped introduce it. Both senators were not present as the time.
Soto said he believes Yarbrough and Melvin have been under the influence of CAP for too long.
"We've identified them as being very, very much tied up to the puppeteer strings of Herrod," Soto said. "If you follow (SB) 1062, they lead right to (Herrod's) office."
Soto said they presented the petition to the senators as a chance for reparation for their support of the pro-religious rights bill.
SB 1062 attempted to allow businesses to be legally immune from lawsuits if they refused service on the basis of a sincerely held religious belief, which raised concerns over whether the law could be used to target members of the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community.

Since Vodafone NZ do not support IPv6 you will need to setup a static IPv4 address. This is normally done through their business section but residential addresses can get a static IP for about 20 per month.
You will need
- Cisco modem / router (I have a 837)
- SixxS account
- Static IPv6 Address
- Assigned IPv6 Address range from SixxS
Residential customers can contact Vodafone NZ on 0800 438 448 or 0800 400 888 for business customers.
I use the SixxS tunnel since they have endpoints for New Zealand.
ipv6 unicast-routing
interface tunnel 0
description IPv6 uplink to SIXXS
no ip address
ipv6 enable
ipv6 nd suppress-ra
ipv6 nd ra suppress
ipv6 address [Your IPv6/64]
ipv6 mtu 1280
tunnel source [Your Public IP]
tunnel destination [IPv4 SixxS endpoint]
tunnel mode ipv6ip
ipv6 route 2000::/3 [SixxS Tunnel Endpoint]
The following you will need to add to a IPv6 Firewall
ipv6 access-list IPv6
permit icmp any any unreachable
permit icmp any any packet-too-big
permit icmp any any hop-limit
permit icmp any any reassembly-timeout
permit icmp any any header
permit icmp any any next-header
permit icmp any any parameter-option
permit icmp any any echo-request
permit icmp any any echo-reply
deny icmp any any
Put the rest of your IPv6 Rules
Cisco's information can be found here and extended information can be found here. You may need to use ipv6 traffic-filter access-list-name {in | out} to set the rule on the interface or Tunnel.
Dont forget you will need to add the following to your IPv4 dialer 0 firewall rule. If you dont you will not be able to connect through the IPv6 Internet.
permit 41 [Sixx IPv4 Tunnel endpoint] any
I hope you find this helpful and gives you enough information to get IPv6 setup on your Cisco router.

NextGen Homes
The Next Generation of residential development in Chattanooga and the southeast
Sponsored by:
Design and construction team:
WM Whitaker & associates Landscape architects: matt whitaker & Thomas brown
Check out the data from @EIAgov about household energy use in TN http://t.co/zA2RduVcfZ
Our team is working hard on value engineering and we hope to have a final design to publish soon!
The rezoning application for our #NextGenHomes received approval from City Council!
green|spaces is a 501(c)(3) non-profit that works to advance the sustainability of living, working, and building in Chattanooga and the surrounding region. We hosted a design competition for the development of a series of next-generation houses that are environmentally and economically regenerative. To achieve this, the houses will need to produce as much energy as they consume, protect and promote the health of their occupants, and maximize water, material, and cost efficiency. This competition was intended as much as a teaching tool for regional design professionals and builders as it is a means to arrive at the best possible design solution for a challenging site with high performance goals for energy, water, materials, and health. The quality, budget, and feasibility of the designs are especially important as we intend to work with the winning team to develop a complete set of construction documents, and then build their design on the site, subject to financial and regulatory approval at each phase.
For more inspiration see the other design entries and net zero energy case studies.
The site is located at 677 and 703 Hamilton Ave. between Hamilton Ave. and North Market St. The site does not include the adjacent right-of-way for Chambliss to the North, but improvements to the right-of-way can and should be included in the design solution for public use. Please see the site plan below for reference. The combined site is 138.07'(E-W) x 139.52' (N-S).
The grade change from East to West on the site varies from approximately 50'-0" to 60'-0". While presenting a challenge, this type of site is not uncommon in Chattanooga and successfully addressing the topography will inform future residential development in the city.
A row of townhouses is located on the adjacent site to the south, and a series of detached single family homes is located across the undeveloped right-of-way to the north.
The current zoning of lot 677 is C-7 Northshore Commercial/Mixed Use and the current zoning of lot 703 is R-2 Residential. Pending regulatory approval of the winning design, the lots may be combined and rezoned to R-T/Z Zero Lot Line Residential in Urban Overlay Zone. Please refer to Chapter 38 of City Code found here for zoning regulations. Individual meetings will be organized for teams who elect to meet privately with city planning staff about their designs after registration is closed. Specific questions about viability of designs with regard to compliance with the R-T/Z zone or questions with regard to other zoning options can be asked during these times and team information will remain confidential.
Program Requirements
4 Single-family Detached Houses
3 Bedrooms, 2 Full Bathrooms Each
Maximum 2000 GSF Each
A minimum of four single-family detached houses shall be located on the site which, subject to regulatory approval, will be re-plated according to the winning design for fee-simple sale. Each unit should have a minimum of three bedrooms and two full bathrooms with a maximum of 2000 GSF. One of the required bedrooms can be convertible to and from another space type. If more than four units are included on the site, please justify the decision in the narrative.
Design Requirements
Design solutions must respond to the architectural, cultural, and environmental context and will be judged on the quality of their beauty and livability in addition to the minimum performance requirements below. The ultimate goal of this project will be to sell the houses on the local market and therefore designs should consider local home-buyer needs for aesthetics, cost, and function.
In addition to the consideration of passive solar design, the positioning of the houses and other design elements on the site should respond to the two bordering roads (North Market and Hamilton) and bordering public right-of-way easement (Chambliss). Additionally, the incorporation of the steep slope into the site design should be strongly considered.
Performance Requirements
Energy: Produce as much energy as you consume. The development as a whole must be site net zero at a minimum (energy consumed on site over the course of a year is less than or equal to energy generated on site over the course of the same year). Renewable energy production can be provided for each unit, concentrated on site to serve the entire development, or a combination of the two. In order to achieve net-zero energy, teams must maximize energy efficiency and passive strategies and then consider the integration of active on-site generation of renewable energy such as solar photovoltaic panels. Teams should model a year of performance to ensure their assumptions for utility consumption and renewable energy production result in a zero balance at minimum. Energy modeling assumptions and reporting formats are included in the entry packet.
Health: Protect and promote health. Incorporate elements that improve human health and specifically avoid materials that have potential negative impacts on human health. The configuration of the site, configuration of the spaces, inclusion of additional programmatic elements, and material selection should protect and promote the health of the occupants, the community, and the local environment. Consider the incorporation of bicycle infrastructure for ease-of-use, incorporation of urban agriculture and biophilia, and use of materials that have Health Product Declarations (HPD's) or are ILFI Declare-Labeled.
Water: Reduce and reuse potable water and rainwater. Minimize potable water use with low-flow toilets, faucets, and appliances. Minimize impervious surfaces and retain storm water from the roof and other impervious surfaces for reuse in the building or for landscaping/urban agriculture. Quantify the reduction and reuse of storm water and potable water on site.
Materials: Cradle to cradle, assemble and disassemble. Consider life cycle impacts and the efficiency of construction and deconstruction of the buildings. Recommend high-quality materials that have Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and are durable, local, reused, recycled, or bio-based. Provide design features that minimize the production of waste in day to day operations of the home. See health performance requirements for materials as well.
Technology: Wired for the future. The houses will incorporate next-generation communications to provide telecommuting and telepresence potential to the occupants and allow smart appliances to communicate with the occupants, each other, and the smart grid. How the houses and site integrate and leverage next-generation communications will be considered.
Rating System Requirements
The development will pursue 3rd party certification. Make a recommendation for the rating system(s) the project should pursue and justify your recommendation. Potential examples include: LEED for Homes, ILFI Living Building Challenge, ILFI Net Zero Energy Building, PHIUS Passive House, Enterprise Green Communities, EPA Energy Star 3.0, TVA Energy Right, EarthCraft, and Earth Advantage Net Zero.
Budget Requirements
Teams will be judged on their ability to minimize costs while achieving high levels of performance. Make each component in the building work harder by serving more than one purpose and incorporate savings from offsets such as smaller HVAC systems for reduced heating and cooling loads from a tight, well-insulated envelope. The maximum budget for hard construction costs shall be $140/SF including contractor fees, site development and renewable energy and excluding land purchase, design fees, and rating system costs. A standardized budget format will be provided as part of the entry package. Submitted budgets should include no assumptions for donations or at-cost products or services. Budgets will be peer-reviewed as part of the judging process for reasonable accuracy.
Alternative financing strategies for renewable energy equipment on site will be considered on their merits and availability.

The modern village of Oxenhope encompasses what were originally separate settlements of Uppertown, Lowertown, Leeming and Hawkingstone. The area became know as Oxenhope because this was the name the railway company gave the station serving the area when the line from Keighley opened in 1867. Until then the name Oxenhope referred to a small settlement between the hamlet of Marsh and the village of Haworth.
The street pattern of Oxenhope was much altered when the railway arrived. It had originally been intended that the railway would run only to Haworth. The owners of Lowertown Mill, Oxenhope, persuaded the railway company to extend the line to Oxenhope. It was found impracticable, however, to take the railway as far as Lowertown because of the gradients that would have been required. As a compromise, the railway built a road from its station to Lowertown, appropriately named Station Road. The bridge by which this road crosses Leeming Water is of the same construction as many of the railway's bridges.
The 19th century parish church of St Mary the Virgin has some interesting glass by the William Morris company.

Dear Shaler Area Families and Friends,
Hitting our target!
Changing the culture of learning has become our mantra here at Shaler Area. Over the year we have implemented phase one of Project ACE which has placed iPad technology into the hands of our teachers and students for use in the classroom. Teachers are using this technology with their classes to read documents, research topics and create projects to demonstrate learning. This project has received another supportive vote by the Board of School Directors who recently approved the purchase of nearly 700 more iPads to place in students' hands next fall.
Additionally, this has been a big year for curriculum change and implementation. Responding to the mandate to utilize PA Core Standards to develop our curriculum, Shaler Area has implemented new English/Language Arts and Math courses in grades k-12. We have also worked to hone our science curriculum this year. Our future curriculum writing will include the arts, business education, social studies, health and physical education. Soon we will have an updated, articulated curriculum in every subject.
This has been another successful year for Shaler Area students who have competed in academic competitions, music festivals, athletics and community service. Our students have performed extremely well at math competitions, Mock Trial and writing and poetry contests. They have received local, regional and state honors through band, orchestra, and chorus. Our athletes have competed and won championships on the track, in the gym and on athletic fields. Finally, our Shaler Area students continue to shine in the area of community service, where most recently the High School has won the Jefferson Award for Community Service and will compete on a national level this summer.
These are great signs that the culture of learning is changing. We are committed to providing the best tools and training for our teachers. We are developing and implementing a strong curriculum that is designed to help our students succeed. Most importantly, we are helping our students to become well rounded individuals who are becoming integral members of society. The Shaler Area School District is committed to the future of our students, schools and community.
Go Titans!
