continued The ceremony on July 6 to dedicate the North Creek Ski Bowl Lodge to Joe Minder is to include a proclamation from the state Senate in Minder's honor. State Sen. Betty Little may be sending a representative from her office to participate in the occasion.
Johnsburg Supervisor Ron Vanselow said Monday that Joe Minder had made valuable contributions to the community as well as the nation.
"This dedication of the lodge is a fitting tribute to Joe," he said.
North Creek community activist Bob Nessle, who instigated the effort to honor Minder, offered his thoughts Monday, recalling Minder's courage and sacrifice for the U.S. — and how he was an outstanding member of the nation's "Greatest Generation."
"I think it's a good idea to dedicate public buildings and spaces to people who made a difference in their community or a major sacrifice for our nation — and Joe is an outstanding example of both," he said. "It's just perfect to have the ski lodge named for him."
Hazel Minder offered her thoughts Monday.
"I think this dedication is fantastic," she said, noting that members of the Minder family would be attending the ceremony. "It's a wonderful honor."

Suppose we have a list of numbers like [6,5,4,7,3]. How can we tell that the array contains consecutive numbers? One way is ofcourse to sort them or we can find the minimum and maximum. But can we determine based on the sum of the elements ? E.g. in the example above, it is 25. Could anyone help me with this?
The numbers in the array would be consecutive if the difference between the max and the minimum number of the array is equal to n-1 provided numbers are unique ( where n is the size of the array ). And ofcourse minimum and maximum number can be calculated in O(n).
The sum of elements by itself is not enough.
Instead you could check for:
and either:
Approach 1
Sort the list and check the first element and last element.
In general this is O( n log(n) ), but if you have a limited data set you can sort in O( n ) time using counting sort or radix sort.
Approach 2
Pass over the data to get the highest and lowest elements.
As you pass through, add each element into a hash table and see if that element has now been added twice. This is more or less O( n ).
Approach 3
To save storage space (hash table), use an approximate approach.
Pass over the data to get the highest and lowest elements.
As you do, implement an algorithm which will with high (read User defined) probability determine that each element is distinct. Many such algorithms exist, and are in use in Data Mining. Here's a link to a paper describing different approaches.

CHICAGO -- Richard Hamilton made a successful return from a foot injury and the teammate he sent back to the bench, Marco Belinelli, scored 17 points in his return to a reserve role as the Chicago Bulls beat Washington 87-77 on Saturday at the United Center. Belinelli had started the previous 12 games in place of Hamilton, who tore the plantar fascia in his left foot on Dec. 1. Coming off the bench early this season, Belinelli struggled. But on Saturday, he was aggressive throughout his 33 minutes on the floor, hitting 7 of 16 shots. "I think it's his confidence," Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau said. "When you're new to a team, I think he was trying to fit in, trying to learn the system. He's already proven to be a good player in this league, so you knew it was a matter of time. Once he had a better understanding of his teammates and his teammates had a better understanding of him, he's very good." Hamilton looked reasonably sharp, hitting 4 of 9 shots for 9 points in 15 minutes....

People were watching us. Staring, actually. My 17-year-old daughter was uncomfortable, as was her mother, my modest and distinctly non-Greek wife. On the other hand, our 16-year-old son, who shares his father's Zorba-like hamminess, was lapping up the attention.
We were walking down the narrow streets of Lidoriki, a small village in the mountains of central Greece. Foreigners are rare here, Americans rarer still.

My OTTB cribs "lightly" if there is such a thing. He tends to do it more while eating. Out in a paddock he tends not to do it at all, and if there is grass he doesnt even think of cribbing. But after our recent colic scare, my trainer said we need to try a collar since he may have gastric issues. We got the miracle collar and put him on "neigh-lox" and the difference in my horse is stunning after only 10 days. He has finally gained weight easily, he finishes ALL his hay for the first time, and his gurgling stomach is quiet. His manure is better formed and more regular. All good.
However, I feel SO bad that he is wearing this tight collar! He seems to move, eat, etc normally, it just looks mean to me.
Should I just get over it and consider it the lesser of two evils?

The National Science Foundation�s Directorate for Computer and Information Science and
Engineering Advisory Committee (CISE AC) held their spring meeting at the National Science Foundation
in Arlington, Virginia on April 22, 2005.
Dr. Peter Freeman, Assistant Director for CISE, and Dr. Alfred Spector, Chair, called
the meeting to order at 8:15 a.m. and welcomed new CISE AC member Dwight Gourneau. Dr.
Spector said CISE needs the advisory committee advice in this time of budget constraints
to help make sure the research balance is correct and the priority items funded.
The CISE AC approved the October 22, 2004 meeting minutes.
Dr. Freeman thanked the CISE AC members for their important contribution to NSF and
CISE. The challenges ahead are great and the CISE field is essential both nationally and
internationally to nearly everything that goes on in modern societies. Research and
education is at the center. Dr. Freeman introduced the new Division Director for Computer
and Network Systems (CSN), Dr. Wei Zhao.
Dr. Freeman briefly reviewed his April 21, 2005 memo with updates on CISE staff, the
organization, the budget, and programmatic focus. Larry Landweber�s term as Senior Advisor
to CISE will end and Dr. Freeman is looking for a replacement. The NSF budget request for
FY2006 is an increase of 2.4% over FY2005. CISE�s request is 1.1% over FY2005. CISE AC
meeting programmatic discussions will focus on the Theory of Computer Science, the Science of
Design, declining funding rates, and the actions CISE has taken to improve them.
Dr. Freeman noted that one of the two Science and Technology Centers funded was the
TRUST project in the area of cybersecurity. Fred Schneider is a senior partner on the
project. The CISE AC requested data, if available, on how much funding from the Office of
Integrated Activities (OIA) is for CISE-related areas. Another CISE-related STC funded was
in polar research.
CISE is currently conducting a review of the CISE program areas. CISE distributed a
survey to about 250 individuals (identified by the Program Officers) with a brief set of
questions. The goal is to provide an evaluation of the scientific vitality of each of the
current CISE program/research areas. The purpose is to provide a ten-year perspective
(five back, five forward) on the scientific and educational state of computing research.
A third phase of the study plans to include industry and broader review of the areas. CISE
hopes to identify areas that they are currently not supporting but should be. Suggestions
for additional individuals to contact were welcome. Dr. Freeman hopes to have an update at
the next meeting. The CISE AC noted that bioinformatics and new applications of computer
science ideas were not on the list of program areas. The CISE AC also suggested adding a
few junior people to the list.
Dr. Freeman noted that Cyberinfrastructure (CI) has usually been a specific topic of
discussion, but he wanted the CISE AC to focus this meeting more on the research mission of
CISE. The CI issue is in a state of planning at NSF and Dr. Bement issued a process for NSF
to develop a plan for what they will do in CI. At the October 2004 National Science Board
(NSB) meeting, NSF was requested to provide a plan for CI activities. Planning is underway.
In addition to an NSF working group, the NSF Assistant Directors (ADs) are now also
officially a council on CI, chaired by Dr. Bement. Dr. Freeman said the group will
incorporate input from multiple community workshops and parts of the plan may be released as
early as late May for the NSB meeting.
Dr. Jan Cuny, Computer and Network Systems (CNS) Program Director, provided an update
on the Broadening Participation in Computing (BPC) program. She also introduced Dr. Tom
Windham, the Sr. Advisor for the Science and Engineering Workforce in the NSF Office of the
Director. Other CISE program officers that are working with BPC are Harriet Taylor and
Caroline Wardle.
Dr. Cuny said in the first year, the BPC program is targeting traditionally
underrepresented groups (women, persons with disabilities, African Americans, Native
Americans, and Hispanics). She shared data with the CISE AC on projected job growth in the
Information Technology fields, number of degrees for computer science majors, and numbers
enrolled for high school advanced placement computer science. Trends show a decline in the
number of students enrolled in computer science with a projected increase in IT jobs of 1.2M
by 2012. The CISE AC talked about what might be the underlying causes for this shift and
pointed out that the increase in IT jobs also includes low paying support positions. The
data does not reflect skill levels. However, there will still be an increased demand for
PhDs and for jobs that bridge Computer Science with other areas.
Dr. Cuny said the BPC goal is "to have all of our diverse population fully
participating in computer science education and research". She noted there are variances
within the groups and in the pipeline from K-12 through faculty positions. Efforts are
occurring at various points within this "space" in an effort to look at broader regions
rather than individual points. A workshop held in the fall of 2004 provided input for how
to structure the program and identified common issues among the different groups in the
CISE fields.
The BPC program has three categories: Alliances, Demonstration Projects, and
Supplements. Alliances can leverage efforts, build on the success of others, have a larger
impact, eliminate duplication, and can target other funding and sustainability. The first
round of BPC proposals are due in June 2005 with the first grants to start in the Fall of
2005. The response to BPC has been terrific. $14M in funding is available for the first
year. Dr. Cuny said they hope alliances formed (even if they are not funded) will build
in future years and result in a nation-wide community with alliances on a larger scale.
Dr. Cuny asked the CISE AC for suggestions and input on the program. A fall 2005
workshop is planned with NSF and industry to look at ways programs can support each other.
There are also preliminary plans for a community-wide workshop in the winter of 2006 for
different communities of researchers to get together to build on what others are going.
Dr. Freeman thanked Dr. Cuny for her presentation. Dr. Grosz noted that the fall
workshop was excellent and thanked Dr. Cuny and others for their role in organizing the
Maria Klawe summarized the ITR COV report held March 8-10, 2005. She briefly reviewed
the COV process and noted it is an important part of the performance assessment process of
NSF outcomes and goals. The ITR program that ended in FY2004 was a 5-year NSF priority
area. The programmatic scope was a focus on interdisciplinary IT research and education
and innovative, high-risk, high pay-off research and education. Changing foci as the program
evolved from FY00 through FY04 were noted. The COV focused on awards and declines made during
FY01-FY03. Dr. Klawe displayed the structure and demographics of the 35-person COV committee
as well as data on ITR awards.
ITR was very successful. Projects funded seemed to be in line with what the program
desired to achieve and the COV anticipates NSF will see a long-lasting benefit. NSF staff
did an incredible job managing the program. Dr. Klawe highlighted the ITR COV
concerns/recommendations on the ITR Process and Management:
The COV concerns/recommendations on ITR outputs and outcomes were:
The COV found that while the ITR program had mechanisms in place to ensure meaningful
and effective collaboration across disciplines, the larger proposals needed stronger
management plans.
The COV recommended that in the future, large initiatives like ITR should have
appropriate, assigned NSF staffing levels. NSF staff should capture lessons learned and
transfer them to Program Directors who run large, complex, interdisciplinary Priority Areas.
An integrated ITR web site should be established to help disseminate information and lessons
learned. The ITR program has played a key role in launching interdisciplinary projects within
NSF. The COV felt strongly that interdisciplinary research was important but it should be in
balance with core sciences research.
Dr. Klawe recognized co-chairs Dr. Suzi Iacono and Dr. Steve Meacham who helped to
organize this process.
CISE Management Response
Dr. Freeman summarized the management response to the ITR COV report, which was also
included in the meeting materials. The COV was in general very positive and the ITR program
has helped shaped CISE and core research in a number of areas. NSF understands that the
quality of the merit review was probably substandard compared to other NSF efforts and in
part, the limited oversight and insufficient reviews can be attributed to a lack of staff
and the very large volumes of proposals received. Other programs within NSF have had similar
concerns about addressing Criterion 2 (broadening impact) and NSF is working to address this
concern. There is agreement that large awards need more post-award management. Some awards
are still ongoing. Six of the eight NSF Assistant Directors participated with the COV. The
review brought out the need for sustaining outcomes and finding ways to harvest all of the
great software, middle-ware, applications, and programs that resulted from the ITR program.
Resources are limited within NSF and this issue has not been resolved yet.
Dr. Crawford noted things that NSF is doing now to improve in the areas mentioned.
There was demonstrated improvement in the quality of merit reviews from FY01 to FY03 as NSF
in general focused more on addressing Criterion 2. The quality of reviewers also saw more
substantive feedback on declined proposals. As proposal volume has increased, NSF continues
to struggle with this. CISE has been focusing on post-award management and is working to
provide Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for Program Officers to use. They have also
been looking at ways to provide feedback to PIs and identifying management requirements for
larger proposals.
Dr. Suzi Iacono said the ITR program was transformative for NSF and it is a different
institution now than before ITR. Learning to work across directorates and finding ways to
co-fund awards has been critical for NSF in moving toward the future. It has also been
transformative for science and research communities in facing big research and education
challenges in new ways.
The CISE AC strongly encouraged NSF/CISE to explore ways to harvest the data, results,
and lessons learned from ITR. Dr. Freeman noted this is an important topic of discussion and
worth coming back to with the CISE AC. Dr. Freeman thanked the CISE AC for their comments
and encouraged them to read the reports and provide any additional comments to Suzi Iacono.
Dr. Spector asked for input on topics to discuss with Dr. Bement. The CISE AC wanted
to express excitement about the success of the ITR program, the importance of
Cyberinfrastructure, and note concern about the declining interest in science education on
the part of students. It is important for the CISE AC to offer their support and ask for
ways they can help Dr. Bement promote the NSF and to get support from Congress and other
Dr. Freeman presented certificates to outgoing CISE AC members Steve Gribble, Deidre
Evans, Dave Farber, Joseph O�Rourke, Sarita Adve, and Dick Lipton. Dr. Freeman also presented
a gavel to Dr. Spector in recognition of his term as the CISE AC chair. Dr. Freeman then
welcomed Dr. Arden Bement, Jr., NSF Director, and CISE AC members introduced themselves.
Dr. Bement provided a brief update on the NSF budget and outlook. NSF anticipates a
positive impact with the realignment of the House and Senate Appropriations Committee. It
does however pose a challenge, as there are now new players that have not had much
interaction with NSF in the past and NSF is in the process of educating them on the
Foundation. This will be another tight budget year, as expected, and there will be
competition for any discretionary funding. Dr. Bement hopes that NSF can at least
preserve the President�s request and perhaps do a little better.
Dr. Bement shared the general priorities and vision for NSF. It is imperative to the
Nation that frontier research is a focus for NSF. In the face of new and emerging national
needs, many agencies have focused more on the short-term. If there is a focus on safe
science over risky science, it will leave a void/vacuum. Broadening participation is
another major focus at NSF. The numbers have not changed dramatically in the past three
decades. NSF initiatives in broadening participation such as LSAMP, AGEP, and CREST have
put about 200,000 more women, minorities, and underserved populations in the pipeline.
The research community may be on the threshold of making significant improvements in the
number of students in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) PhD programs.
NSF would like to see more women and minorities at the full professoriate rank. In some
cases, there are highly talented minority candidates, given an opportunity to use special
facilities and engage in partnerships with some of the top research universities, which can
play a significant role. Dr. Bement applauded CISE for bridging these types of relationships
between institutions.
There are several projects in the queue for NSF�s Major Research Equipment and
Facilities Construction (MREFC) program to include observational facilities (observatories,
sensor networks). These types of projects need cyberinfrastructure integrated at the
beginning as part of the science model and integrated in the capital investment with
outlets at major computational facilities. This is needed to convert data into scientific
information and knowledge. Dr. Bement said CISE and the CISE AC would play an increasing
role in the future for guidance and direction in how NSF views major facilities in the
Drs. Spector and Freeman thanked Dr. Bement for joining the CISE AC.
Dr. William Chang, Head of the NSF Beijing Office, joined Drs. Freeman, Crawford and
Zhao on a trip to China. Dr. Freeman reported on the trip to the CISE AC. The Beijing
office will open in November 2005 and is the 3rd NSF international office. The mission of
the trip was to understand the progress and status of China�s Information Technology
research and development. The scope of the trip included government agencies, universities,
institutes and centers, and industrial companies. Dr. Freeman noted his status equaled that
of a "Vice Minister". He displayed a list of the government agencies visited. China also
has a military mechanism that funds military research. In China, the Academy of Science is
more than honorific; they operate laboratories (more than 100 with over 60K employees). The
six universities visited provided were of different size and diversity. There are some
remnants of centralized control of the communist regime with a parallel structure in the
government at each university. The group visited Four Research Centers and Institutes:
The Institute of Computing Technology; Institute of Microsystems and Information Technology;
China Network Information Center; and Shanghai Super Computing Center. Dr. Freeman provided
details on the facilities. Firms the group visited included Lenovo, Microsoft Research Asia,
and Suzhou Industrial Park.
Dr. Freeman said the group made five presentations and attended 18 banquets. They met
with 9 officers at the vice minister level, 7 university presidents or council chairmen, 5
university vice presidents, and 12 center/institute directors or deans. Observations of the
group are that China�s development over the past several years has resulted in tremendous
growth, heavy investment, good infrastructure, and emerging strategic views. In terms of
the status of research and development in IT, it is a top national priority with more applied
research. China is stronger than the US in hardware development. They appear to have a
standards-based strategy, strong indigenous intellectual capability, and a modest desire for
fundamental research. The observations of management and social issues is that there is a
historical tendency to emulate and decision-making is traditionally top-down. These may
become limiting factors for sustained growth
Dr. Scaglia said Hewlett Packard has observed that the universities in China drive
standards, which is different from the US. Universities are probably still under control
of the Chinese government. Dr. Freeman said his understanding is that many of the top
government leaders come from a technical university-based background. Universities and
Science Academies seem to have a strong influence. Dr. Zhao said that the "safe" studies
were in science during the revolution and they are now seeing these people in leadership
roles. Dr. Freeman noted that China has more people in K-12 than the US has in total
citizens. Just 1% of those students going into S&E fields would be a significant
In summarizing the observations, Dr. Freeman said China has made significant progress
in the last 15 years with high potential to continue growth. There are significant
management and social hurdles to overcome to achieve consistent world-class status.
Recommendations for the CISE AC were to:
Dr. Freeman added that all of the leaders at the top levels expressed nothing but
great desire for further cooperation at the level he mentioned.
Dr. Freeman asked for CISE AC input on the two-day fall meeting October 20-21, 2005 at
the Computer Museum in Mountain View, California. The meeting will include a guided tour of
the museum and have representatives from large ITR and STC projects on the west coast. He
hopes the meeting will provide an opportunity to look in more detail at some of the activities
that CISE is supporting. Information will be distributed ahead of time with an informal
dinner planned the evening before and a more formal dinner on October 20th.
Michael Foster, Division Director, Computing and Communication Foundations (CCF),
provided an update on a core CISE area and the impact of NSF/CISE budgets and the continuing
CISE reorganizations on Theoretical Computer Science. There is evidence of community
dissatisfaction and advice from the CISE AC is requested. CS Theory can help answer hard
foundational questions, provide linkages between disparate fields and serve as an incubator
for other areas. The Theory of Computing program (TOC) supports a lot of science along the
risk spectrum (from NSF�s point of view). In additional there is theoretical work in CS
supported by other NSF programs and the ITR program. TOC has funded many CAREER grants. The
current TOC portfolio includes core theory in computational complexity; fundamental
algorithms combinatorial, approximation, parallel, online, graph algorithms) and
application-specific theory that includes molecular biology, networks, and linguistics.
NSF has funded most of the researchers published in CS theory.
Each cluster within the CISE CCF division has a program with teams of Program
Officers and staff working closely with the community. CCF has three clusters: 1)
Theoretical Foundations. 2) Foundations of Computing Processes and Artifacts, and 3)
Emerging Models and Technologies for Computation. Additional data was provided on the
number of awards made each year in the cluster areas and through CAREER. By having
Program Directors working in clusters, CISE can get the benefit of several program officers
working together and looking at a broad set of proposals. The TOC program strategy is to
maintain strong performers in complexity, and to narrow system-theory gaps in algorithms,
and applied theory.
Questions posed to the CISE AC:
CISE is currently looking for a program director in Computer Theory. Dr. Freeman
added a general comment that other programs can co-fund projects in the core.
CISE AC Discussion:
Dr. Freeman summarized that CISE understands the need for data and they will take a
renewed look at what they are doing in the core. The core of computer science cannot be only
one area. Dr. Spector said the discussion on CS Theory and frontier research is likely to be
Dr. Crawford presented data on the number of proposals and reviews per year from FY200
to FY2004. There is an increasing reliance on panel reviews. In looking at the quality of
the reviews in recent years, there are less substantive comments received. There also has not
been an increase in NSF staff to support the increase in the number of proposals received by
NSF. Dr. Crawford proposed several options for improving merit review quality to include:
increase the use of mail reviews; reduce the number of proposals assigned per panelist; and
educate the computing community (to participate in the merit review process, provide
substantive feedback on reviews, and provide objective ratings).
Observations for supporting high-risk, high pay-off projects indicate that there is a
culture of destructive criticism; the panel review process can create conservative
group-think; independent mail review has no baseline for comparison; and panel/mail
combination create workload demands. Options to increase the number of high-risk, high
pay-off projects include no rankings for panel review; no budget restrictions (however it
would have a consequence in the proposal success rates); conduct larger award competitions
within Divisions, CISE-wide; and increase the number of Small Grants for Exploratory
Research (SGERs).
The CISE AC discussed the options proposed. They cautioned NSF/CISE that there is
not a "one size fits all" solution. Identifying incentives in the research community are
important. Dr. Freeman said that NSF has done quite a bit of analysis on incentives. The
behavior in the research community is causing some of the problems and NSF has looked at
ways to manage the behavior. The culture at research universities needs to be addressed.
One member noted the complexity of the issues. Is there enough funding and adjustments
are made in who gets funded or is there a need to identify how much is needed and what isn�t
being done? Dr. Freeman noted this is an example of the kinds of science policy discussions
that go on in NSF endlessly.
Dr. Grosz mentioned there is literature that reviews conducted under time pressure
result in lower success rates for minorities and women. Consideration should be given to
this when talking about broadening participation. Also in some areas of research, if there
are across-the-board budget cuts, there is a gender imbalance.
The CISE AC members were provided data on the CISE investments in early faculty award
program CAREER grants. The CISE AC recommended that data be categorized to identify
research fields within CISE as well to better identify trends. Data seemed to indicate
that faculty are receiving CAREER awards much closer to tenure than early in their careers.
The CISE AC requested additional data on the average number of panels that reviewers
participate in and discipline-specific data on CAREER awards, if possible.
Dr. Spector said the CRA held a computing summit meeting February 28, 2005 attended
by influential people in CISE fields. The summit convened out of a concern for funding in
the field, a concern for US competitiveness, and the concern that people are not entering
the field and PhD programs. The attendees talked about root causes and identified a few
categories of actions:
A result of the summit was the funding of two task forces to address the image/public
relations and policy. CRA, the Computer Society, and ACM have to get involved with this and
communicate the issues through the press and editorials. The complete summary is on the CRA
website at http://www.cra.org/Activities/summit/home.html.
Dr. Debra Estrin attended the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland,
January 29-30, 2005. The forum brings together young world leaders. Dr. Estrin said her
impression was that Information Technology does not play the same role that it used to play
globally and was disappointed that the �big shots� in IT that were at the summit meeting
appeared to have a marginal role and technology was not integrated into discussions. She
said it was a learning experience. Topics presented included telecommunications, robotics,
and biotechnology.

In a turnabout from its previous musical that offered the relatively sober Carousel, Olney Theatre Center, in the midst of its 77th season, is currently mounting the gregarious, laugh-a-minute production of The Producers. It is clear from the get-go why this musical captured a record-breaking 12 Tony Awards in 2001 and spawned numerous other productions worldwide as well a successful film in 2005. The hilarity, high-jinx and gags keep the audience laughing throughout with never a dull moment to be had.
Mel Books and Thomas Meehan adapted the musical from the 1968 movie with the same name. The music and lyrics were composed and written by Mr. Brooks who turned 89 the day following the opening night performance at Olney. His comedic genius along with Mr. Meehan's assistance on the book is stamped on every line, every lyric, and every movement.

Prior to surgery, patients who had high anteversion scored significantly worse in terms of athletic activities on the HOS, but there was no difference in either questionnaire scores in terms of daily living activities. After surgery, patients who had high anteversion scored significantly worse on the MHHS questionnaire with regard to athletic and daily living activities, but the HOS scores were similar between the two groups. Twice as many patients who had high anteversion had to undergo revision surgery.
The researchers say the psoas tendon may be an important stabilizer in the hips of patients with high anteversion, and the tendon's release in these patients may result in a delayed return to activities after surgery and inferior outcomes.
"The results of this study indicate that there are certain groups of patients that respond very favorably to surgical treatment of the psoas tendon, but there are other groups of patients that due to mechanical reasons, surgeons should exercise extreme caution in proceeding with any tendon release around the hip," Dr. Kelly said. He said these patients should be considered for alternative treatment strategies.

Worcestershire County Cricket League
Posted: May 01, 2014|
Saturday 26th April 2014
THE new season that brings the advent of win/lose cricket for our league has started – but with a bit of a whimper, with 26 out of 48 matches failing to start.
Of those that did, ten were settled on scoring rates. With three team scores over 250 and even an opening day centurion, it proves the value of covers and keen ground staff!
In DIVISION ONE 1st XIs, there were wins for Pershore, Colwall and Nomads in the three games played to a conclusion. Pershore had a comfortable victory at home to Droitwich with the returning Liam Ridings scoring 52 and Tom Pilling taking 4-17. Colwall and Nomads defeated Worcester and Harvington respectively in matches severely affected by rain but were able to achieve adjusted targets required under new rules.
Next week, Bromyard will be hoping to make a start to their league campaign as they entertain Nomads, and Pershore visit neighbours Evesham. Colwall will be hoping to maintain their start as they host Belbroughton.
DIVISION TWO 1st XIs saw a big win for Cookley at Worcester Dominies and a convincing triumph for newly merged Oldswinford and Stourbridge Social at home to Feckenham, plus a faster scoring rate win for Enville at Rushwick.
DIVISION THREE 1st XIs had play in just two matches with Alvechurch and Alveley abandoned midway through and Stourport recording a faster scoring rate win over Avoncroft thanks to an undefeated 58 from Bevan Neill and 5 wickets by Matt Delo.
DIVISION FOUR 1st XIs – now a 12 team division, half the games were played with wins for Bartestree over Himley, with Luke Sparrow the all-round star scoring 65 and taking 4 wickets. Claverley bowled out Kidderminster 3rds for just 34 and romped home early. lastly Bromsgrove 3rds defeated Oldswinford & Stourbridge Social's 3rds on scoring rate.
SECOND XIs
DIVISION ONE is led by Hagley, Rushwick and Worcester Nomads who all recorded wins. Hagley beat their local rivals Pedmore by just 2 wickets and the other two had faster run rate victories. Nomads scored 251-3 at Cookley with Paul Gardner notching 95 and Rushwick's Matt Davies made 63 as his side restricted Droitwich to claim the faster scoring rate win as revealed by the Roberson/Tansell system.
In DIVISION TWO, only one game started, with Enville defeated Pershore on scoring rate.
DIVISION THREE – Avoncroft beat Wormelow with a century from new signing Andy Nichol and 5 wickets from Simon Wilkes. Bredon easily accounted for Claverley and in the other match played, Bartestree overcame Himley.
DIVISION FOUR 2nds have just one result in so far, in which Old Vigornians beat Kidderminster 4ths thanks to a better run rate.

My toes are very happy
Awesome shoes! These are great for walking around town or around the house. They are super light and comfy. I wear a size 9 and bought a size 9. They are a bit loose (washing them might help with that). I wear them after climbing and after wearing tight climbing shoes, these feel like heaven.

Rated 2.5 out of 5Â by 6 reviewers.
Rated 1 out of 5Â by kim_zees Disappointed I was very disappointed that the shirt did not fit as pictured at all. Not that it should fit like a model, but I am 5'3" and have a short torso. Models have longer torsos and the shirts are longer on them! It seems like it shows a little of the bottom of their midriffs, but in reality it fits like at my belly button or just above. It fit fine everywhere else though and the back was great. Also, it was like a piece of fabric. Like, I could ball it up and fit it in the palm of my hand. Not worth $68 for a piece of fabric. 5.5.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by discosyl Large also short Ok usually FP tee's I'm a small but the large is also short but overall fit is really really good surprising for the fact that it is a lrg. After reading the reviews I sized up by 2 and it's still short but fits really well. The mauve is more on the "brownish" side not as "silky " looking as the pictures but beautiful on against my skin. This top is great for layering especially if you have a summer dress that you love and want to wear during colder seasons as I don't like showing my stomach I found it quite functional so I'm keeping it Ps. Big thumbs up to DHL courier service so quick reliable 3 days to get to australia "brilliant" 4.25.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by sestimpson Best crop top I own! The fabric is really nice. I have not encountered the issues other reviewers have mentioned. This top looks really nice with a racerback type bra. 9.9.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by pipc Too short I received this top and was disappointed to find it was really short, similar to another reviewer it was also at my belly button and I'm 5'11 but not that huge! It's not wearable at all for me. I got the S but even going for the M/L I can't imagine would be long enough. I really liked the style from the website so it's a shame. Love Free People stuff but disappointed with this one. 3.22.2014
Rated 1 out of 5Â by Scienctef Way too short/not as dramatic of a V back I am 5'8", 135 lbs and thought the small would be perfect and cover my stomach just enough to show a little mid drift. However it came just above my belly button! I don't understand how it is possible the model is 5'11" and wearing a size small...not sure ordering a bigger size would help. I am interested to see if anyone else has an issue as well. Maybe I got a defective item...? 2.25.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by LizRuix Smaller than I thought, but I still like it! I purchased both the mauve and black colors in XS, and the colors are just as pictured. My height barely reaches 5 feet which makes for a really short torso. That being said I bought the XS thinking it wouldn't be too short, but this tee rises almost halfway up my back. Size small probably would have been perfect, but I'm still happy with my purchase. 2.20.2014

A Baker's cyst, also known as a popliteal cyst, is a pocket of
joint fluid that forms a lump behind the knee. Often a Baker's cyst is
painless, but occasionally this pocket of fluid can tear open and drain into
the tissues of the lower leg, causing pain and swelling.
Symptoms include:
When swelling and pain increase, the best approach is to avoid
activities such as squatting or kneeling. Wrapping the knee may help
reduce swelling. Occasionally, fluid may be drained from the knee, and the
person may be given a steroid injection. In cases of restricted mobility or
persistent pain, surgery to remove the cyst may be recommended.

Federal agencies are reviewing plans for energy transmission lines, assessing their impact on wild lands.
Like guiding wind and solar projects to low-conflict areas, finding the right places for transmission lines is a common sense approach. Federal agencies are on track to make recommendations for improving the "West-wide Energy Corridors" by the summer of 2014.
A final plan for the SunZia transmission project raises serious concerns about impacts to Arizona's sensitive San Pedro Valley.
The memorandum specifically calls on federal agencies to collaborate on identifying suitable places on public lands that avoid sensitive na

Hey gang! I usually don't gum up the XPs with every little thing I write for Sports on Earth, but I thought you would get a kick out of my effort to rank the quarterbacks in terms of the amount of sportstalk blather they generate.

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genta Incorporated (Nasdaq: GNTA) announced today that the Company has received notice from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that FDA has extended its review period of Genta's request for correction of certain information that was filed pursuant to the Information Quality Act for an additional 60 days. The requested correction relates to FDA's assessment of progression-free survival (PFS) in the Phase 3 trial of Genasense(R) (oblimersen sodium injection) that was presented to the Oncology Drug Advisory Committee (ODAC) that considered Genta's New Drug Application for Genasense in patients with advanced melanoma.
"Melanoma is a key indication in our current Phase 3 development program", said Dr. Loretta M. Itri, M.D., Genta's President for Pharmaceutical Development and Chief Medical Officer. "A methodological error may have impacted ODAC deliberations, which voted unanimously that an improvement in PFS of some magnitude represents clinical benefit that could support regular approval in advanced melanoma."

Oddometer: 150
Day #18 - Arches National Park
Got another early start to the day as we are thoroughly over this heat wave and 100 degree heat. Hitting stuff up is way better when it's only 90 degrees at 7 a.m.
Load up and make the short ride over to Arches National Park.
Beautiful park with all sorts of odd rock formations, arches and balanced rocks.
Mostly pics for you for today....
Driving in:
Balancing Rock:
Skinny Tall Rock Formations. I think this was Cathedral something or another. At this point we've seen so many tall cliffs/canyons that we are starting to get lazy on recording or remembering names of places....
Don't know what this one was called either so my wife called it Cock Rock:
We did a 4 mile round trip hike to see Landscape Arch and that was worth it. Pretty crazy formation made from wind/water erosion.
Double Arch: There was a few arches like this but the temp was over 100 again so we didn't even bother to get off the bike. Most everyone else was making the 2 mile roundtrip hike to stand in the arch or take closer pics. Kind of over it at this point....
Some arch/cave formation thing-a-ma-bob....
At this point I'm seeing beutiful rock formations but I'm just thinking Beer and Cold Pool.
Had enough at this point and we jam back to Red Cliffs Lodge.
We spend Day #18 at red cliffs too just soaking up the AC, Pool time and a few bottles of wine from the winery on the lodges property. Had one of the best Cab's I've ever tasted there. Good stuff
On Day 18 I stop to fill gas I notice that my rear tire is SHOT.
It had about 75% of the tread left when we departed and I figured that would have been good enough for the whole trip, especially since we're not even 1/4th of the way yet, but I guess not.
Apparently the combination of scorching hot asphalt, a heavy throttle hand and the extra weight vaporized the vast majority of my tire tread.
I have an extra set of E3's at home so I call my brother and he helps me out big time by overnighting those tires to the HD shop in Vernal. There wasn't any other HD shops around so my next destination (Mirror Lake) gets cancelled and now we'll be going on a tour of Vernal instead...
Day # 19 Vernal to....
Got up the next day and busted 190 miles to Vernal. A fun ride through parts of colorado and then back into Utah. Crossing mountain passes and fun/fast twisty roads. We took the 128 out of Moab to the 70 to the 139.
The 139 had some fun twisty mountain passes with some good views through Northwestern Colorado. It was pretty much a fun ride for most of the way until we crossed back into Utah and then it was straight and hot again all the way to Vernal City.
Here was the highlight of Vernal....
That was it... Super fun... Or something...
Got the tires swapped in an hour and then back on the road. I was seriously OVER this friggen heat and I knew we had nothing but higher elevation mountain riding for the next 4-5 days.
I was sooo looking forward to riding in 70-80 degree heat instead of 90-105+.
Swung out of Vernal and took the 191 North.
highway that went through the Flaming Gorge National Rec Area and Dam. Didn't get pics from there but it was a beautiful, mountainous highway with nice views. ELEVATION TOO so the temps cooled off a lot.
We're trying to make it as far as we can to our next destination but after we hit the 300 mile mark (of slow twisty roads) we needed a break and stopped at the "World Famous Saddelite Saloon" in Rock Springs Wyoming. Nice bartender lady we chatted with for an hour or so.
We were there pretty early so it wasn't exactly "hopping" in there but it was a fun bar and a little later some locals came in and another rider so we BS'ed with all of them for a bit.
Mama by this point was getting a little homesick so she had to play California Love by Tupac, Californication by the chili peppers and Going back to Cali by Biggy Smalls. Only thing she missed was Hotel California.
You can see her in the pic above laying down some homesick beats at the jukebox.
Decided that we should try to get further. Mama was down to stay in Rock Springs but I kind of wanted to get a few more miles down so off we went.
Final destination for the night? Fabulous Pinedale Wyoming! Woot woot!! 191 Highway took us all the way there.
I was kind of bummed because I really wanted to see Mirror Lake and the waterfalls there but oh well. So is life on the road and you have to adjust as you go.
I give mama credit though. 400 miles today of mostly windy/twisty roads. We were in the saddle from 6 a.m. until sometime after 8 PM. 13 hours in the saddle (hour to change tires).
If we had chosen to ride interstates instead of all these twisty highways we could have knocked out 800+ miles today with 13 hours of saddle time but who likes to ride interstates?
Route for the Day. Yellow is what we did. Red is what we were supposed to do. If anyone does this trip in the future the red route is probably more scenic with more things to check out and it's mostly mountain riding with cooler temps.
Slowly but surely we're working our way back to the original route! Today was Utah to Colorado back to Utah to Wyoming. Fun roads for 70% of the day!
Day #20 coming soon....
2013 San Diego to Sturgis SD and Back!
2014 Uganda to South Africa and Back!

I'm not a big fan of this part so I'll keep it brief. I'm a Southern California native, youngest of 8 siblings. Divorced, no children. I've spent the last couple of years focusing on my work, which I love, but have seriously neglected my personal life. My work responsibilities require that I travel so I'm usually on the road a couple of days a week. Travelling the country as well as Europe allows me to visit some great cities, dine in great restaurants and meet a lot of great people. I know it's tough but someone has to do it. I enjoy staying fit so I spend some time at the gym and staying active in life. I like doing anything outdoors, love golf. I'm extremely happy in life right now and love the positive vibe I'm feeling however I recognize it's always nice sharing things in life and maybe it's time to start looking?

Baseball, Basketball, Billiards / Pool, Bowling, Football, Golf, Skiing, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
I like Cats, Dogs

In Hungry Horace's kitchen there were three tins. Each tin contained three delicious cakes:
One night Horace crept into the kitchen, opened the three tins, and ate three of the cakes.
The surprising thing was, when Horace went back to bed, each tin still contained three cakes.
How did he do it? Were they REALLY magic cakes?

The season from hell continues for Kevin Love, but Thursday night didn't end quite as badly as did the power forward's last trip to Denver, when he suffered a concussion that ended his 2011-12 season.Love left Thursday's 101-97 win with a sprained finger on his right hand with 4:15 remaining in the third quarter. At the time, his team was down, 66-55, and he had logged 12 points and 17 rebounds in 24 minutes of play. Love returned to the bench after several minutes in the locker room and was officially listed as questionable to reenter the game, but he never did.After the game, coach Rick Adelman said Love could have played upon returning from the locker room but that he couldn't have shot the ball. He provided no further update on the forward's status.After Love left the game, his team went on a 15-4 run to take the lead, 71-70. The game remained tight until the final three minutes, when the Timberwolves created separation with two 3-pointers, one from Luke Ridnour and the other fr...

The Skin Food Lettuce and Cucumber Essence Mask Sheet Review
Here's one you can actually avoid, The Skin Food Lettuce and Cucumber Essence Mask Sheet, DO NOT WANT!
Here's one you can actually avoid, The Skin Food Lettuce and Cucumber Essence Mask Sheet, DO NOT WANT!
When I was 12 or so I kept a diary. I remember it was a small pink Hello Kitty Diary with a lock and key. Of course, I wrote everything that was of great import in my life at the time in it. At 12 I imagine it was some serious stuff. When I was 18 or so I recall reading back into it and smiling at the babblings of my 12 year old self. Granted, I had to literally splice open the journal to get inside because lord knows where I put the bloody key and honestly why I wanted to lock away any of those babblings is beyond me.
I've since grown up and in some ways my diary has become Musings of a Muse but I guess the closest I get to an actual diary these days are My Beauty Diary Masks.

These results suggest that the upper intestine is an important site for generation of the nausea and appetite loss associated with chemotherapy drugs.
The findings also help to define the neural systems involved in nausea and malaise, which can significantly impact the nutritional status of patients receiving potent drug treatments for diseases such as cancer or AIDS.
This nerve may be part of a natural detection system that we use to detect toxins in food, and it is possible that we are activating it with these strong medications, comments senior author Charles Horn, PhD, a behavioral neuroscientist at Monell.
Increased understanding of this system will enable development of specific blockers to reduce nausea and improve quality of life during chemotherapy and related therapeutic regimens.
Future studies also will evaluate whether the vagus nerve contributes to other side effects associated with chemotherapy, such as altered taste perception, fatigue, and stress.

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreThis e-book and the accompanying handbook attack many of the most crucial difficulties encountered by both native and non-native English speakers when translating scientific and engineering material from German.
The e-book is like a miniature encyclopaedia dealing with the fundamental conceptual basis of science, engineering and mathematics, with particular regard to terminology. It provides didactically organised dictionaries, thesauri and a wide range of microglossaries highlighting polysemy, homonymy, hyponymy, context, collocation, usage as well as grammatical, lexical and semantic considerations essential to accurate translation. It also supplies a wide variety of reference material and illustrations useful to self-taught professional technical translators, translator trainers at universities, and especially to student translators.
All the main branches of industrial technology are examined, such as mechanical, electrical, electronic, chemical, nuclear engineering, and fundamental terminologies are provided for a broad range of important subfields: automotive engineering, plastics, computer systems, construction technology, aircraft, machine tools.
The handbook provides a useful introduction to the e-book, enabling readers proficient in two languages to acquire the basic skills necessary for technical translation by familiarity with fundamental engineering conceptions themselves.
