A women-specific day pack that incorporates ample cooling and an effective suspension system.
The moment you put on the Osprey Women's Sirrus 24 Backpack and feel its mesh AirSpeed back panel successfully transfer the load to your legs, you get overwhelmingly excited, if not giddy for the big hike ahead. Thanks to this pack's tapered shoulder harness, shorter torso length, and narrow waist belt, you no longer associate ten-mile hikes with pain. And since the Sirrus 24 comes in three different sizes, you can find one that's just right for you.
- AirSpeed suspension combines the rigidity of aluminum stays with a tensioned mesh back panel for effective load transfer and cross ventilation
- Women-specific Spacermesh hip-belt and shoulder straps ensure your load rests where it should for max efficiency and pain-free hiking
- Front panel access means you can easily reach everything in your pack's main compartment without unpacking
- Hip-belt pockets hold your camera, shades, or quick snacks so you can stay in the groove
- ErgoPull waistbelt closure makes cinching down the belt easy
- Stow-on-the-Go feature on the left side lets you holster your trekking poles as you walk
- As soon as the rain starts to fall, deploy the built-in rain cover and keep your load dry
- Compression straps let you adjust the pack's volume to fit different load sizes

Soon fell out of love...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I bought this pack and immediately fell in love with it. The aqua blue color is brilliant, as well as all of the cool "doo-dads". The integrated whistle on the chest strap, included rain cover and of course the handy zipper pulls that were so easy to grab. Unfortunately I fell out of love with my pack the moment I put it on. While I really liked how the frame kept the pack away from your back and allowed you to carry more weight, I couldn't deal with the actual shoulder straps. Not only did they feel rough, I could not get them to fit me properly. They rode way high up on my delts and even rubbed the side of my neck. Thinking I got the wrong size, I tried the next size up (at a local store) to no avail. Being that I have broader shoulders, I thought maybe I would have better luck with the men's pack. So I orderd that one from Backcountry. The blue color on the mens pack is more royal blue and while I didn't love it as much as the women's color, it wouldn't be a game changer. When I tried this one on, same problem. Obviously we are all different in body types and sizes and for that reason, this pack is not for me. It seems like Osprey needs to place the shoulder straps a bit farther apart on the pack or else this will ride up on other people's necks as well. Returned the pack and ended up buying another brand that works wonderfully for me.
* I tried the pack on empty and fully weighed down. Thinking I might be doing something wrong as this is my first pack, I took it to a local gear store and brought the pack with me. No dice. Osprey packs just do not fit me.
Leta Kalfas
Hi Alisha, thank you for writing. My name is Leta Kalfas and I am a rep for Osprey packs. I am so sorry that the straps didnt fit you! Please know that packs fits are very personal, and although this pack didnt work for you, I am sure that we have lots of others that might fit you well. I often equate pack fit to shoe fit... not every pack will fit everybody, but I wish it had worked for you!
So, please do not write off Osprey as a pack for you for the future... again, our packs have different attributes and features from one series to another, so please don't lose hope!
Most importantly, I am glad you found a pack that does work for you and that you love. There are other pack brands out there that make good product, so I am happy you found what's right for you.
Thank you for taking the time to write,
I had the exact same experience! Love the quality, color, and features of Osprey packs, but the shoulder straps also cut in at my neck, and I am petite size, but with wider shoulders. Went up to a medium, too big of fit, and same shoulder strap issues. Would you mind sharing what brand of pack worked for you? I am going on a trip in a month and really need a new pack so any recommendation is appreciated. Thanks!!
Is the Summit Blue color accurate? I've seen several different hues of Blue for this pack.
Leta Kalfas
Hey Bernice, it's Leta with Osprey Packs. The Summit Blue color is super close, but the actual is maybe a tad brighter than what the picture shows. It's beautiful! I went to my sample room and pulled it up to my computer to check. I think you will love it. Hope that helped!
Alisha F.
This is the color I had and I'd say it's a tad more vibrant and a bit more aqua/teal in person. It's really an awesome color!
Great Day Pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I've taken this pack up Mt. Whitney, Mt. Wilson and the Inca Trail. It is perfect for day hikes and super comfortable.
The grey color is actually green. Not sure how they decided it was grey.
I used it as a carry on to Peru and it fit nicely under the seat.
I take a 2 liter camelback in the hydration pocket and also a 1 liter nalgene inside. The only issue I have with the pack is that the hydration sleeve can be hard to get to if there's anything in the top pocket. I had some frustrations wrestling with that.
The main pocket can seem small, but I've stuffed a ton inside. No problem getting all your layers in for a long day.
I also love the stow-n-go feature for your trekking poles. I don't use my poles often but always carry them with me. When they are secured on my pack I don't even notice they are there.
As far as fit, I am 5'8, 150 lbs. I measured my torso at about 20 inches and the small/medium fits me just fine.
I want to buy this bag for my girlfriend. She is 4'11" is it fairly safe to assume the xs/s would fit here best?
Jared Downs
Hey Chris,
Depending on torso length, the XS/S will be the best option.
Osprey will also most likely be the best company to look at for a smaller pack for her torso.
Shoot me an email anytime you have questions!

nice but...
- Familiarity: I returned this product before using it
I got this for my wife for an upcoming trip to Europe. The idea was for me to get a larger size bag that I could check and for her to get a smaller size we could carry on with a few days worth of gear in case something happened to my checked bag. The size was nice for a a carry on, but didn't like the arch in the back that, while increasing air flow, seemed to limit the useful space for packing things inside. The design is nice, just didn't fit our particular need. We upgraded to the 36L Kyte, which may be pushing carry on size limits when full, but seems to have more useful space.
Most Comfortable Pack
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I love that it doesn't sit right on your back allowing air to flow through. I tried on several packs and this one fit best for my 5'-5" frame. I have narrow shoulders and it doesn't hurt at all.

A disappointing shopping experience
I got a defective product! This shocking shopping is really terrible. a bagpack no guarantee card. have a broken zip..........., although the customer nice and pantient. but seems I have no other way to solution. this is my first buy in this site. and the last !

Hi, Sorry about your bad experience, sometimes defects happen, but don't give up on Backcountry! I have shopped with them for years and they always correct the situation promptly with a replacement or refund. Backcountry Rocks!
Defects happen. Not Backcountry's fault. Great web site. They always fix the issue without question.
For anyone who tried both, how does this...
For anyone who tried both, how does this compare with the Osprey Mira ? I'm debating between the 2 of these as a gift for my wife for mother's day. It will be used for day trips with the kids (zoo, theme park etc.).

I am 5'5", 130lbs with a 29" waist and 17" torso. I ordered the small. This bag fits perfectly from my shoulders (rare pinching) to my waist where the waistband settles just above my hips. The aquamarne is not available anymore, but the colour is more of a teal that aquamarine (to my happy surprise). It is very light even with gear and a full 1L nalgene bottle. The waistband has convenient pockets but they aren't the easiest to open. I don't use a water bladder. I am a geologist and the storage, weight, and compartments are perfect for hiking and climbing. I highly recommend it!
What's the right size for someone 5'5" and...
What's the right size for someone 5'5" and ~130lbs?
I'm the same size and Osprey packs fit me best in a size small. Medium would also work.
Lexi Dowdall
Hello, thanks for the question!
I am 5'3" and 120 lbs and the size small works best for me. The most important part will actually be to determine your torso length to achieve the correct fit. Grab a friend and have them help you measure your torso. Here is the sizing chart:
Your height and weight don't matter as much as your back and waist measurements.
Measure from the big knobby vertebrae at the base of your shoulders to the middle of your sacrum(the flat bit at the middle of the back of your pelvis).
If you're 17< I'd go for the S/M
If you're 16> I'd go for the S/XS
(I'm serious, it's VERY small, I usually wear an XS(I'm 17in) and I wear a S/M in this pack)
On this pack, the waist measurements are a little off and don't really matter 'cause they top off at the same size and it's not interchangeable, but the measurements are:
But I'm 25in and the S/M fits me nearly perfectly.

- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
I've never provided a product review before (though I rely heavily upon them during my decsion making process) but am so head over heels with my Osprey Sirrus 24 Pack and my exceptional customer service experience I felt compelled to contribute one.
I'm a beginner hiker who live in the Souther Adirondacks of New York. About 13 hikes under my belt including two high peaks. I've had a heck of a time finding a suitable day pack. I'm short (5'2" and about 160 lbs) with a small torso. After purchasing, using and returning two day packs (Kelty and Merrill) I was pretty frustrated. After much online research, frustration with the decision making process and procrastination (because of some hefty price tags) I happened upon the Backcountry.com website. What a terrific resource! I was able to limit product searches to specs unique to my wants/needs. That made the search so much easier. The detailed product descriptions, product videos and customer reviews provided additional critical information. Best of all was the personalized customer service provided to me by Backcountry's customer service rep by phone. My rep was incredilby friendly, helpful and arranged for the product to be delivered by air the next day for next to nothing! WOW! I used the pack on today's hike. OH MY GOD. Perfect! No chaffing of skin, no pressure points, extremely lightweight with excellent air flow/ventillation (this pack comes with a light frame). Soooo many zipper pockets, creative stow away features. There is a place for everything on this pack. It is beautifully designed, high quality and provided me with total support and comfort while hiking. I was nervous about spending $100 on a day pack. After using it just once -- I know this money was well spent. No regrets. PS everyone of my hiking friends "ooohed" and "ahhhed" over my pack. One wants one herself! FIVE STAR PRODUCT/FIVE STAR COMPANY!
Uncomfortable fit
I was super excited about this bag, since I'm going to be travelling to Asia this summer I wanted something small and portable to carry my few essentials every day. But no matter how I tried, this bag rested on my neck muscles, not my shoulders. The shoulder straps are attached to the bag way too close together, and all the weight of the bag rested at the base of my neck. After a 2 day practice run with it, I had to return it. I adjusted every strap, I even had 2 other women try to make it work on them, and none of us could get it to fit comfortably. It is incredibly functional, and worked great for carrying the things I needed on my 2 day practice run, so if it fits you this bag is great. It just didn't work for me.
You want to have the hip belt fitted so that most of the carry weight(seriously, like 90% of it) goes on the hip belt, the shoulder straps of a properly fitting backpack mostly serve as stabilisers so the pack stays close to your back.
Janet Kaplar
love love this pack!
I can put my touring skis in the side & strap the tops together & snowshoe up areas that are tight to tour up. I did have to add an elastic to keep my shovel on the back bottom piece, but that works great now. I love the mesh back to keep my back from sweating. lots of room, I am very happy with this pack
Hello Janet! Loved to hear that you use this pack in the backcountry, as that is my pursuit. Perhaps next time you're out and have the inclination, do you mind posting a picture of the added elastic for the shovel and ski set-up on the pack? No worries if you don't get to it :) Thanks for the great review and have fun out there!

Spot on!

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
When I saw this pack online, I was disappointed to find that NO sporting goods stores in my area had one in stock, so that I could give it a rigorous fondling in person. But, since your site has always been a breeze to work with, and you could get it to me in two days (for FREE!), I decided to give it a whirl, since I had a little mountain adventure planned without the appropriate pack.
When I opened the box, I was THRILLED with the overall look and design of the pack, but after having taken it on it's maiden voyage snowshoeing, you would have to tear it from my cold, dead hands to get it away from me.
It's a great size, EXTREMELY comfortable to wear, and wonderfully adjustable.(And did I mention that it's gorgeous?) Living in the Pacific Northwest, I know the time will come when I will need the extra slick integrated rain cover, and although I hope never to need it, the chest clasp that doubles as a safety whistle is a smart touch. The shoulder straps are molded perfectly for the female physique and nicely padded for comfort. I am 5'8", my torso length is 20.5", so I got it in Large. Loving it!

Sirrus Series
Not perfect, but very comfortable
- Gender: Female
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm keeping this pack simply because it fits so well. I'm not a fan of the compartment layout - I liked the Black Diamond Pulse better, but it didn't fit at all. I wish the Sirrus had that outer stash pocket on the back, and bigger water bottle pockets on the side. Stuff in the top small pocket gets caught up when you try to put a hydration reservoir into the sleeve. I bought this pack for longer day hikes, and now I use it even on short ones because it rides so well. The mesh back panel keeps me from getting too sweaty, and the weight balances nicely. Ultimately, comfort is what matters, and this pack is very comfortable. I am 5' tall, 113 lbs, and I got the small.
Four months later and the organizational layout finally irritated me enough to return the pack (thanks to backcountry.com's generous return policy!). The buckles to get into the main compartment were hard to operate with mittened or cold hands, and I prefer more organizational options.
I found (here) the Mtn Hardwear Wandra (another mesh-backed women's pack with a raincover) that has better access to the main compartment, more external pockets, and that lovely stash pocket on the back. It also has a system for carrying trekking poles across that back that is an improvement on the under-arm thing the Sirrus has going. I look forward to using this pack on my upcoming trip to NZ!

Does anyone own this bag in aquamarine? I like the color of it on this site, but the same bag on amazon and rei have a completely different (but similar to each other) tone... it's like a blue/grey and not so bright like the one seen here. What color is actually right?
Kate Williamson
The aquamarine color is closer to what is on Amazon. Amazon has it a touch dark, but it is no where near as fluorescent blue at it is here on bc.com... Sorry.

I have the Aquamarine and I love it. Great Pack!
Great Pack
I've used a small camelback pack that allowed me to carry the essentials and a liter of water for the past few years. After purchasing an Osprey, lets just say I'll likely never purchase a camelback again.
I purchased this pack to do a couple of long dayhikes where it was necessary to carry more water and snacks on the trail.
The pack fits nicely. I actually have a shorter torso for my height, but the larger size fits better for this pack. It's comfortable, and I love the ergonomic hip belt (nice to be able to adjust as I add/remove layers)
I love how I can carry everything I need for long dayhikes, or I can use the straps to compress the pack size making it less bulky. I also attach plenty of things to the straps that I either want quick access to (like my microspikes, hat, etc.) or at times I need my snowshoes but not the entire trip I can strap them and leave them hanging on the side.
There are plenty of pockets, and on my short day hikes, I don't even use all of them. On longer ones they are great for stashing granola bars, crackers, etc. I often use one of the side mesh pockets to carry an apple, orange or another piece of fruit as it seems to survive longer there. The Nalgene bottles fit in the pockets, although it is hard to place the bottle back in with the pack still on your back.
The one thing I don't like about the pack is the trekking pole attachement. Perhaps my poles don't fold up small enough, but I'm not a fan of having the poles right underneath my armpits. If I'm not using them I'm fine with either strapping them to the back of my pack, or carrying them in my hands.

Roundtable: 6 Composers on Dealing With Delusional Directors and 'Fake Praise Rejection'
Five veteran composers, along with one relative newcomer who recently graduated from music editor to potential Oscar contender, discuss their biggest challenges, whether they look at box-office numbers and how they'd handle getting fired (one word: "drugs").
Is there enough time to experiment?
HENRY JACKMAN: One thing that I feel really lucky to have learned from Hans is the discipline of: Don't panic. In a panic, you could think, "Quick, let's just start writing music!" You're tempted to think it's a linear process, which ties into what Alan was saying happened on The Croods. If you can just stop for a second and find what the thematic material is, the speed in which the rest of it will happen will actually be exponential.
ZIMMER: I had a theme that was beloved by our director but I knew it was the wrong theme …
STEVEN PRICE: This is Batman Begins. He was getting a little nervous. [Editor's note: Price was Zimmer's music editor at the time.]
ZIMMER: Yeah, twitchy … but it was because I was hunting down this other idea that I knew I couldn't articulate. So poor Steve -- part of his job was to occasionally remind me [of deadlines].
STORY: '12 Years a Slave' Composer Reveals the Challenges of Re-Creating Authentic Slave Songs
PRICE: My main memory of that film is that I had a director, [Christopher Nolan], who liked to start working at 8 in the morning, and then … Hans. (Laughter.) So I mainly remember the sleep deprivation, and this kind of middleman position because, obviously, we needed the score. I'd have to go and tell Hans that. I could kind of tell that all of these experiments were going on in the middle of the process.
So you had to talk to Hans at 8 in the morning?
ZIMMER: No!
PRICE: No, you can't talk to Hans at 8 in the morning.
JACKMAN: That's not his time.
How did you take all those experiences and apply them to Gravity?
PRICE: Well, I've come through the wringers, basically. I've orchestrated, I've programmed, I've edited. Music editing offers a great learning curve because you're there for the duration. You see the filmmakers in every moment. With Gravity, it was a very experimental process, because I had a director who freely admitted he didn't like film music. And with this canvas, [traditional film music] didn't work, because you're up in space and there is no sound in space. So, anything you would normally do for an action film, I had none of that.
STORY: How Do You Score Outer Space? Silence and 'Overwhelming' Sound, Says 'Gravity' Composer
But you had to find a way to incorporate sound into the score, right?
PRICE: Yeah, basically. They made a very clever decision, early on, that the sound was based on vibrations. So, if someone was wearing a suit and they'd touch the table, they would hear that vibration through the suit. So that's basically low frequency rumbling. Everything else was music. They wanted an immersive sound track.
What do you consider your personal best score?
BECK: It is hard to separate the experience from the final product. You can have really fond memories of working on something and it may have very little to do with how good or bad the final product is. But for me, it's a score I did 12 or 13 years ago called Under the Tuscan Sun, which I don't think did very much box office, but it was a great experience. I have very fond memories of the filmmakers on that film and it's still one of my favorites.
SILVESTRI: Romancing the Stone was a favorite because it was the first. It was a rhythm score. I'm a drummer and a guitar player. There's orchestra in it but it was all driven by rhythm. Shortly after that was a small movie called Fandango where I kind of went through a significant crisis as a writer. I walked into this project being recommended by Bob Zemeckis who, after Romancing the Stone, thought I could do anything. And they played me the temp dub, which was very carefully put together, and it's temped with the Shostakovich Fifth Symphony.
JACKMAN: Oh, easy …
STORY: Composer Henry Jackman on the Challenge of High-Profile Pics
SILVESTRI: So I had this horrible crisis. I mean, it was darkness. My wife basically did an intervention on me with the creative people in my life. And I had a kind of breakthrough as the result of the agony because I did [my first] orchestral score for Fandango. Thank God I had that experience because my next film was Back to the Future, which was only the second time I had ever written a piece of music for an orchestra.
ZIMMER: But hang on, do you guys have the same experience that I have, which is, when you play your cue back for the first time and it's just the most terrifying moment?
NEWMAN: Yeah, just gaze down …
ZIMMER: You hear the difference.
NEWMAN: It all sounds like tin, right? It just sounds awful.
PRICE: You think, "I've got it this time." And then you sit there and you know it's wrong as soon as it starts.
BECK: You stop it and say, "You know what …"
PRICE: "I'm going to go away now."
ZIMMER: I think you, Steven, were even in the room on Da Vinci Code. It stopped after five reels and I thought, "OK, I know. Don't say anything. I'll start over."

Rated 5 out of 5 by RKRK12 Perfect for Young Family My husband and I have a passion for contemporary, boutique hotels which has to now be set aside with two young children (3 year old and a 10 month old). So it is always with some trepidation that I book a "family" hotel that caters for the masses. I should not worry as I have now stayed at 3 Starwood Luxury properties and all have exceeded our expectations. The Westin however was a complete surpise and a total joy. Service, childcare, safety at the pool and nothing being too much trouble was evident everyday. The staff in the executive lounge, the lifeguards and the kids club were particularly excellent. Thank you to everyone who made our holiday a perfect one. October 8, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JSN11 Awful The service was terrible. It took three members of the concierge team 10 hours to figure out how to send a fedex. I had to fill out four sets of forms -- three of them the wrong ones. And, having picked this hotel because it's Starwood, I was informed that they don't participate in the Preferred Guest program so I got no credit for the stay and no points. How is this hotel even part of the Starwood chain? My worst Starwood experience ever. October 2, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Engsayegh I dont recommend this hotel I didnt beleav this hotel in spg company: 1) a/c very noise and takes 2 days ti solve it 2) after 11 pm you should call the operator 3 or more times to get answer from him 3) in third night the hotel try fire alarm system and just send paper to room "we are sorry about that" i think it is not fair 4) no flexability in check out just one hour 5) not accept spg card 6) no disccount in spa and other facilites the hotel guest like any guest from outside September 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Rochelle86 Exceptional staff!!!! This was my very first at the hotel and I shall definately return.I found my self in a valley of smiles from the first person I met right from the belldesk, to the exceptional front desk staff and the pool bar staff.The wonderful staff at the Thai restaurant where we spent most of our evenings dining and coudln't get enough of the amazing food.These are the things that made me enjoy my stay at this hotel, but my warmest congratulations to the hotel for their choice of personnel. They know how to really make you feel at home, and if you need anything,you ask away and they go the extra mile . Congratulations from the heart, you were fantastic.I also wanted to express my appreciation for the superior service I received during my stay at the Westin . In particular the pool bar staff esp Gabriel and the front desk staff hesham,and a big thank you to Bola from reservations for helping us sort out the dates,we found all of you very helpful and deserve a great deal of praise for their excellent customer service.

I travel a considerable amount in my job and have to admit this is the first hotel I have come across where before, during and after the visit the hotel is in constant contact to ensure you are happy with their services and if they can help with anything. A refreshing change and definitely something I like. The staff are so attentive and always keen to help. August 24, 2012

Rated 5 out of 5 by Marek Luxurious Marina Oasis Great Luxusrious Westin in the hearth of Dubai Marina offers spectacular view to the skyscrapers why haveing leasure stay on the pool side or swimming in the sea. I stayed just for one night and was upgraded to the big luxury suite what makes my short stay even more comfortable. When asking for late check out, was provided w/o any problems. Front desk staff was friendly and professional. Facilities met the expectations according to pictures I checked beforehead. July 17, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Saeed2012 Beatiful hotel for relaxing on the beach Everything was good in the hotel specially the breakfast was astonishing but the stuff was rude didnt have the 5 star service and the reception charged different rate more than the one i booked it online. June 5, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Zirk Great hotel, but not for SPG Fantastic hotel, great location, beautiful setting, and helpful, friendly staff. The problem is that this property does not participate in the SPG program, and that is not clear when one makes reservations. No points, none of the standard gold benefits, etc. The staff did all the could to make up for this, and were hugely helpful, but it was a pain, and we received no SPG points for this stay. May 17, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Paul17 Fantastic high class family hotel Great surroundings and location, pool and grounds beautiful. Food was of a very high quality. Kids club very good especially male members who were very enthusiastic. This is a perfect hotel if you want a luxury family holiday. One minor issue was the excessive noise coming from the Barasti beach club. We requested a quiet room in advance having two you children but were put in the noisiest room overlooking the beach club. This necessitated being moved twice to get a quieter room which was disappointing. May 1, 2012

There is a large stream of numbers coming in such as 5 6 7 2 3 1 2 3 .. What kind of data structure is suitable for this problem given the constraints that elements must be inserted in descending order and duplicates should be eliminated.
I am not looking for any code just ideas? I was thinking of a Self-Balancing BST where we could add the condition that all nodes < current node on left and all nodes > current node on right, this takes care of the duplicates .. but i don't think they are necessarily inserted in descending order. Any ideas what might be a better choice .. ofcourse it needs to be efficient time and space wise.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Seharane was celebrated by Kurdish Jews as a multi-day nature festival starting the day after Passover. Communities would leave their villages and camp out for several days, celebrating with eating and drinking, nature walks, singing and dancing. Its observance was interrupted after the relocation of this community to Israel in the 1950s. In recent years it has been revived. But because of the already-widespread celebration of Mimouna in Israel, the celebration of the Seharane was moved to Chol HaMoed Sukkot.

The apparent beheading on camera of a second American hostage by a man with a British accent was again staged, according to forensic analysis. While there is no doubt that Steven Sotloff was murdered, the attack did not occur when the black-clad jihadist is filmed seemingly cutting into the neck of the journalist, the analysis by an international forensic science company concluded.
The image of a Briton appearing to kill two US hostages and threatening to take the life of a third captive, this time a fellow British man, David Haines, was being used by Islamic State as a powerful

Originally written on Fox Sports | Last updated 8/27/13
Los Angeles County prosecutors are declining to bring charges against former Chicago Bulls star Scottie Pippen after a fight with an autograph seeker outside a Malibu sushi restaurant. Prosecutors said Tuesday there is insufficient evidence against Pippen. They also note 49-year-old Camran Shafighi had a blood-alcohol level more than twice the legal limit for driving, and that could have played a part in the altercation. The fight occurred outside Nobu restaurant in June, when Shafighi took pictures of Pippen and sought the Hall of Famer's autograph. Shafighi was taken to a hospital with a head injury. Shafighi has since filed a $4 million lawsuit against Pippen. Pippen won six NBA titles with Michael Jordan and the Bulls. He now serves as special adviser to the Bulls' president and chief operating officer.

[ Locations | Map themes & related | Cartographers ]
An excellent map of Alabama by S. Augustus Mitchell. For much of the middle part of the nineteenth century, the Mitchell firm dominated American cartography in output and influence. S. Augustus Mitchell Jr.'s maps of the 1860s are probably the best known issues of this firm, but his father's earlier efforts are excellent maps derived from H.S. Tanner's atlas of the 1830s. This map of Alabama is a good example of this work. Topographical and political information, including towns, rivers, etc. is clearly shown, and the counties are shaded with contrasting pastel shades. This series of maps is known in particular for its excellent detail on the transportation nexus in the states, and here roads, with distances along them, canals and the few early railroads in Alabama are clearly presented. At left is a table of distances along the steam boat routes in the state. Alabama is shown shortly after the last Indian lands were ceded and just before the capital was moved from Tuscaloosa to Montgomery. A fine early map of the state. $275
"A New Map of Alabama with its Roads & Distances from place to place, along the Stage & Steam Boat Routes." Philadelphia: Charles Desilver, 1856. 14 1/2 x 11 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition. With decorative border.
Charles Desilver, one of the many publishers working in Philadelphia during the mid-nineteenth century, issued an atlas of maps based on the famous Tanner-Mitchell-Cowperthwait series. Desilver used much the same information as originally drawn in the 1840s, but updated the maps with new counties, roads, towns, and especially the transportation network of roads and railroads, always the focus of the maps from this series. This map is typical of the rather unusual and scarce Desilver atlas. The growth of roads and railroads in the state is impressive and indicative of the huge growth in the region during the middle part of the century. An attractive and fascinating Alabama document from just before the Civil War. $175
"Johnson's Georgia and Alabama." New York: Johnson & Browning, 1860. 17 x 24. Lithograph. Full original hand-color. Very good condition. With vignettes of Tuscaloosa Observatory and Rice-Mill on Savannah River.
An attractive map of Alabama and Georgia from A. J. Johnson's atlas issued just at the start of the Civil War. Johnson, who published out of New York City, was one of the leading cartographic publishers in the latter half of the century, producing popular atlases, geographies and so on. This finely detailed map is an good example of Johnson's work. Townships, towns, roads, rail lines, rivers and lakes are shown throughout. Of particular note is the extensive road and rail network in the states that would be come so important in the forthcoming conflict. The clear presentation of cartographic information and the warm hand coloring make this an attractive as well as interesting historical document. $175
"Johnson's Georgia and Alabama." New York: Johnson & Ward, 1862. 17 x 24. Lithograph. Full original hand-color. Very good condition. With vignettes of Tuscaloosa Observatory and Rice-Mill on Savannah River.
Another example of Johnson's fine map. $175
"Johnson's Georgia and Alabama." New York: Johnson & Ward, 1864. 15 1/2 x 22. Lithograph. Full original hand-color. Very good condition.
A slightly reduced map of Georgia and Alabama from the Johnson atlas of four years later. This map lacks the two vignettes of the earlier edition, but the information is just as comprehensive. $150
"County Map of Georgia, and Alabama." Philadelphia: S. Augustus Mitchell, Jr. 1866. 10 3/4 x 13 1/4. Lithograph. Original hand coloring. Decorative border. A few light spots at lower left. Else, very good condition.
For most of the middle part of the nineteenth century, the firm founded by S. Augustus Mitchell, Sr. dominated American cartography in output and influence. This fine map is from one of his son's atlases, and it shows Alabama and Georgia in the mid-1860s, shortly after the Civil War. Towns, rivers, roads and other topographical information are clearly shown, and the counties are shaded with contrasting pastel colors. A fine decorative border surrounds the map, and the whole effect makes for an attractive and historically interesting mid-nineteenth century map. $145
"Colton's Alabama." New York: G. W. and C. B. Colton & Co., 1866. 15 3/4 x 12 3/4. Lithograph. Full original hand-coloring. Very good condition.
In the mid-nineteenth century, the center of map publishing in America moved from Philadelphia to New York. The J.H. Colton publishing firm played a large role in this shift. This map of Alabama, with its fine detail, is a strong example of their successful work. The map presents the counties in contrasting pastel shades, and includes depictions of towns, rivers, marshes, and some topography. Of particular interest are the indications of the burgeoning transportation network in the state, with roads and railroads clearly shown. An attractive map as well as a worthwhile historical document. $165
"Gray's Atlas Map of Alabama." Philadelphia: O.W. Gray, 1875. 14 7/8 x 11 7/8. Lithograph. Original hand color. Very good condition.
This map illustrates the rapid economic growth in Alabama in the ten years following the Civil War with an extensive railroad network connecting the state's most important inland cities to ports on the Gulf Coast. It was published by the Philadelphia firm of O.W. Gray which began its publishing around mid-century and published regional and U.S. atlases up to the 1880s, first as O.W. Gray and then O.W. Gray & Son. This map is typical of their work, presenting the latest information available with clear and precise detail. $155
"Alabama." Philadelphia: W.M. Bradley & Bro., ca. 1884. 22 3/8 x 16 1/2. Lithograph. Original hand color. Full margins, with old crack in bottom margin. Very good condition.
A neatly detailed map from the Philadelphia publishing firm of William M. Bradley & Bros. While Philadelphia was no longer the main center of cartographic publishing in North America by the late nineteenth century, many fine maps were still produced there, as is evidenced by this map. Topography, political information, towns, and physical features are all presented precisely and clearly. The railroad transportation network is particularly well delineated. $150
Two maps of Alabama by the Geo. F. Cram company from Chicago. 12 x 9. Colored cerographs. Very good condition.
Two colorful, detailed maps of the state of Alabama from the latter part of the nineteenth century. The George Cram Company was an engraving and publishing firm from Chicago. In the mid-nineteenth century, the center of cartographic publishing was New York City, but in the 1880's this began to shift towards Chicago with the advent of the Rand, McNally and Cram firms. These firms were noted for their efficient output of precise maps filled with useful and up-to-date details on roads, towns, railroads, and so forth. Earlier map with decorative border as shown.
From a delightful series of maps issued in 1889 by the Arbuckle Bros. Coffee Company. This firm was founded by John and Charles Arbuckle of Pittsburgh, PA. They developed a machine to weigh, fill, seal and label coffee in paper packages, which allowed them to become the largest importer and seller of coffee in the world. Their most famous promotional program involved issuing several series of small, colorful trading cards, one of which was included in every package of Arbuckle's Coffee. These series included cards with sports, food, historic scenes, and—one of the most popular—maps. The latter cards included not only a map, but also a small illustration or two "which portrays the peculiarities of the industry, scenery, etc." of the region depicted. These cards are a delight, containing informative maps as well as wonderful scenes of the area mapped. $65

Marysville Globe, November 30, 2013
November 30, 2013 edition of the Marysville Globe
SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 2013 WWW.MARYSVILLEGLOBE.COM 75¢ GLOBE THE MARYSVILLE BY KIRK BOXLEITNER email@example.com SPORTS: Grace Academy takes second at State. Page 12 Food Bank distributes Thanksgiving baskets MARYSVILLE — The Marysville Community Food Bank helped local families in need get a head-start on their Thanksgiving holidays by distributing their annual Thanksgiving food baskets on Nov. 22, 25 and 26. Marysville Community Food Bank Director Dell Deierling reported on Friday, Nov. 22, that 96 volunteers had helped 238 families fill their Thanksgiving food baskets on the first day of this year's three-day distribution, which is actually slightly down from last year's 243 families served on the Friday kickoff of 2012's threeday Thanksgiving food basket distribution. "The number of families we've served this year is actually down 5.9 percent from the number we'd served at this time last year, but I'm still anxious," Deierling said on Nov. 22. "Nov. 1 was when they began rolling back the food stamp benefits from the stimulus package, which affects about 14 percent of the population, and this past Monday and Tuesday saw nearrecord crowds, so especially with the increased demand that always happens around Thanksgiving, I'm planning to serve at least as many families as we did last year, which was 715." While the Marysville Community Food Bank was thick with volunteers on Nov. 22, Deierling asserted that it's better to have too many than not enough helpers during the holidays. "The last thing we want to do is run short of either food or labor, so if even they're stepping on each other's feet, I'd turn around and thank them for being there," said Deierling, SEE NEED, PAGE 2 BUSINESS: 'Small Business Saturday' returns Nov. 30.

"I want a big pie," he said. "Blueberry." Sofia Howard, 6, and Elijah Azarpay, 6, both like to eat turkey but are most excited about the possibility of different dessert options. Sofia wants to have vanilla ice cream after dinner. "I eat ice cream after Thanksgiving dinner," she said. "I'll eat all of it because I love it." "My favorite is pumpkin pie with whipped cream," added Elijah. Arturo Torres, 6, and Jrake Maier, 5, expect turkey to be part of their holiday meals but do have a couple other items they'd like to fill up their plates with. Arturo is hopeful that macaroni, pota- toes and gravy are part of his Thanksgiving dinner, while Jrake has a few different food requests. "I want noodles and broccoli and a sandwich and candy," he said. Eduardo Pineda-Lopez, 5, would like his dinner to include several of his favorite foods. "I eat turkey, but I want peanut butter and jelly, and rice and beans," he said. "And no carrots." When it comes to what they don't want to eat this Thanksgiving, Emma Brislin, 5, and Christopher Bydalek, 5, agree. They don't want any peas. They also agree they are thankful for family this Thanksgiving. "I'm thankful for my dad, my mom, my cousins and my grandma and grandpa," Christopher said. "I'm thankful for my mom and my dad," added Emma. Students were asked to think about what makes them thankful this Thanksgiving and will write those things down in little books to take home, kindergarten teacher Veronica Underwood said. Other students, including Elijah Azarpay and his classmate Jonah Werdell, 5, also shared some things they are thankful for this Thanksgiving. "I'm thankful for what people made us," Elijah said.

Caroline Kennedy, JFK's daughter, said she is interested in taking over as junior senator from New York once Hillary Clinton becomes secretary of state. Good choice? In the political game of cards, I'll see your Clinton and raise you with a Kennedy. Ah-ha, full House! It's up to N.Y. Gov. David Paterson to name Hillary's replacement. It's a good thing disgraced N.Y. Gov. Eliot Spitzer, who resigned because he was fiddling about with call girls, isn't still in office. He'd probably appoint someone named Tabitha Threesome.
The Kennedys have been champions for the downtrodden throughout their lifetime of government service — even though they don't always accomplish as much as the have-nots give them credit for. But members of America's Royal Family certainly try their damndest. Caroline would not be an exception — although it's questionable if she could be more effective in the job as Hillary. But one of the reasons Hillary might be taking the job in the Obama administration is that she's stuck in shallow waters in the sea that is the senate. A small fish in a big pond, as it were. Being junior senator to Chuck "which camera do I look in" Schumer doesn't amount to a hill of beans on Capitol Hill.
Caroline is shy — certainly not as verbose as her Uncle Teddy. If he's the lion in the senate, she would probably be perceived as the lamb. At least at the outset. Dismissing one's potential before it's given its chance is like the proverbial judging a book by its cover.
For those of us who grew up with Caroline Kennedy — well, not actually in the same neighborhood, but you know — she's like America's kid sister. You wanted to personally keep her safe from anymore harm or tragedy a kid her age had to endure.
If she gets the appointment, she'll become the new media darling. The perfect remedy after several months of Sarah Palin. The media will get to use its favorite trendy, condescending, liberal-biased phrases about Caroline — like does she have the gravitas or the bona fides.
Caroline Kennedy is no Hillary Clinton — which is not necessarily a bad thing. But New York is abrasive and boisterous and, frankly, more snobbish than Californy. The kid sister doesn't seem to fit that mold.
Still, the Senate needs a Kennedy. It would be like not having a Bush in the White House. Wait a minute, that ain't right. Maybe like Angelina without Brad. Or Madonna without a baseball team.
The Kennedys are always going to be with us, if not in the flesh than in spirit. Caroline Kennedy has always seemed to be a blithe spirit.
New York can use someone who doesn't have to hog the spotlight.

What are some of the common signs your taking the wrong approach in a mixed functional / imperative / OO environment?
Java with ML syntax
A lot of newbies, especially those who come from C# and Java, end up writing code their OCaml/F# code with Java-like idioms:
Mind you, visitor is one of my favorite patterns, and as much I love writing the dozens of lines of boilerplate code over and over and over, I'd much rather write this instead:
Getting cute with pointless (point-free) code
This one generalizes to functional programming as a whole, not just impure languages, but a while ago I came across this snippet of F#:
$100 says you can't guess which line gives me the 'splody eyes ;)
Alright, more seriously, I can't think of any reason to prefer
However, some point-free code, like
So when should you use pointful vs point-free style? Its depends -- sometimes point-free style can tidy up code, sometimes it requires the same mental gymnastics needed to write a novel without the letter 'e'.
In my experience, point-free code is very brittle and resists refactoring, since flipping or adding more arguments in a function can drastically alter its point-free expansion. See the following Haskell:
When in doubt, default to pointful style.
A big one for mixed functional/imperative code is not keeping the imperative code on the "outside" as much as possible. Functional-oriented idioms such as lazy evaluation, partial application, and closures can start having... strange issues in the presence of mutable state and side effects. Imperative code should be calling into functional-style code, not the other way around.
In Haskell, the type system generally enforces the separation. In most other languages, you're on your own...
Capturing a mutable in a sequence.
You can do the same thing in languages like C# but I consider a sequence (something lazy) as a functional construct. This should print "1 2 " twice but only prints it once.

By Christopher Salinas, Janelle Ramon and Phillip Bowie
Out of all the missions that we've seen in San Antonio, we would have to say that Mission San Juan, located at 9101 Graf Road next to the Stinson Regional Airport, is very secluded. You get a feel for what it was like to live there in the 1700s.
Although the Mission San Juan church is currently under restoration, you can still maneuver in and out of the rooms. What we found interesting is that San Juan has its own self-guided trails.
The closest restaurant to Mission San Juan is the historical Stinson Airfield Patio Café. Unfortunately, the café will be closed until July 2012. (July 2013 update: Bernard's Creole Kitchen is now located at Stinson.)
We did, however, find a relatively close restaurant called Capparelli's Italian Food and Pizza, located at 3857 East Southcross Boulevard off of Pecan Grove, which has something for everyone. The restaurant looks like a little house, and it is very cozy.
The service is different from other restaurants that we've been to in terms of how you order your meals. You order and pay for your food at the counter along with your drinks and then afterward, you seat yourself and your food is brought to you by the servers.
The lasagna, drenched in red pasta sauce and melted mozzarella cheese, is filled with cheese, meat and even a few tiny mushrooms.
The spicy chicken Alfredo was another one of their specials, and it was phenomenal. It had fettuccine noodles with spicy chicken and spicy Alfredo sauce. Your dish also comes with a side salad of your choice.
The classic pepperoni pizza comes with a unique twist: the cheese is on top of the pepperoni. The personal pizza could be bought as a side and shared with friends.
Lunch specials are from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m., and the prices of our dishes were less than $10. Their hours of operation are from 11 a.m. to 8:45 p.m., Mondays through Thursdays. On Fridays and Saturdays, Capparelli's is open from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m. The restaurant is closed on Sundays. Their phone number is (210) 337-8700.

Unformatted text preview: Finding a place that remained undisturbed after so many other tombs were desecrated for
their treasures this tomb was something special. Standing in front of the door of that place
would be the closest thing to standing inside of a time machine that was set to ancient
Egypt. With so much importance in the ancient Egyptian culture resting on death this is
something that would reveal a lot about their culture. Beyond that, this was not a burial
place for a common man. This was the tomb of a king, and the value of his death was far
weightier than anyone elses.
Stepping inside I can imagine seeing jewels, possessions, and art that was preserved
much more than anything else I had ever laid my eyes on. I would hope to see evidence
of the specific rituals that took place at the death of a king, as this would have been an
important event for an entire nation to take part in. Not knowing or understanding the
significance of death in the Egyptian culture would make this place seem unsettling at the
very least. The closest that our western culture comes to building anything of this
importance to represent the death of one person is a gravestone, while here, in Egypt,
monumental structures were built around such an event. More than anything else I would
want to understand who Tutankhamen was as a historical figure. What did he do with his
life? What were the circumstances of his death? I would find nowhere better to answer
those questions than his amazing tomb.

ROUSES POINT - As principal of Rouses Point Elementary, Robb Garrand always looks for ways to bring families and the school closer together.
Recently, Garrand coordinated with Sherry Reinhart, manager of McDonald's Restaurant in Champlain, to do just that.
"I had heard about McDonald's doing partnerships with schools in fundraising, so I got in touch with Sherry, who I knew through coaching and teaching her son," said Garrand.
"When Robb called and said he had heard about McTeacher's Night being done in other stores, I said 'Sure, let's do it,'" said Reinhart, who added she had been looking for the right opportunity to partner with the school.
The two worked together to coordinate a "McTeacher's Night" April 22, in which Rouses Point Elementary staff stepped on the other side of the counter to serve students and their families.
"We've done a little bit of everything working at stations all over," Garrand said as he took a break from cleaning tables that night.
Second grade teacher Wendy Engelbrecht was among staff members getting a crash course on things McDonald's employees do on a daily basis.
"I know how to make salads and how to make a milkshake. I'm learning a whole lot, real fast," Engelbrecht said as she stood behind the counter waiting to grab orders for customers. "The kids are excited to see me here and I'm learning a lot from people who work here. It's been a great night."
"This is very much a relationship-building night, which is very important, because a successful school works well with your families," added Garrand.
Though McTeacher's Night was considered a great way for students and their families to make a connection with teachers, counselors and administrators outside of school, it was also a way to raise money for the school. Ten percent of the proceeds from the two-hour event, which are currently being tabulated, will be presented to the school.

Simulated effect of pneumococcal vaccination in the Netherlands on existing rules constructed in a non-vaccinated cohort predicting sequelae after bacterial meningitis

2 Department of Neonatology, Emma Children's Hospital - Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
3 Department of Pediatrics, Westfriesgasthuis, Hoorn, The Netherlands
4 Department of Medical Microbiology, Netherlands Reference Laboratory for Bacterial Meningitis, Academic Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
5 Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics and the EMGO Institute for Health and Care Research, VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam, The Netherlands
BMC Infectious Diseases 2010, 10:259 doi:10.1186/1471-2334-10-259Published: 3 September 2010
Previously two prediction rules identifying children at risk of hearing loss and academic or behavioral limitations after bacterial meningitis were developed. Streptococcus pneumoniae as causative pathogen was an important risk factor in both. Since 2006 Dutch children receive seven-valent conjugate vaccination against S. pneumoniae. The presumed effect of vaccination was simulated by excluding all children infected by S. pneumoniae with the serotypes included in the vaccine, from both previous collected cohorts (between 1990-1995).
Children infected by one of the vaccine serotypes were excluded from both original cohorts (hearing loss: 70 of 628 children; academic or behavioral limitations: 26 of 182 children). All identified risk factors were included in multivariate logistic regression models. The discriminative ability of both new models was calculated.
The same risk factors as in the original models were significant. The discriminative ability of the original hearing loss model was 0.84 and of the new model 0.87. In the academic or behavioral limitations model it was 0.83 and 0.84 respectively.
It can be assumed that the prediction rules will also be applicable on a vaccinated population. However, vaccination does not provide 100% coverage and evidence is available that serotype replacement will occur. The impact of vaccination on serotype replacement needs to be investigated, and the prediction rules must be validated externally.
