Been keeping an eye on your thread. Good stuff. Cool to see that Currahee Mtn in the Band of Brothers was an actual place.
I've always loved these signs
...and when I'm not doing this
I'll occasionally go out with my father-in-law and do this
Which is similar to what you came across.
Lov'in the thread
For the record, I hate snakes!

GTFO 2013 - Part Deux (Day 3 - Sep 1)
I woke to heavy rain around 6 AM. Checking the weather radar, it looked like it was going to rain for a while, so I set my alarm for 9 and went back to sleep. When I woke up the second time, the rain had stopped, so I went to see if there was anything to eat. While Mo provides dinner, breakfast is usually cooked by the guests. In this case, breakfast was in progress and I had some delicious banana pancakes and ham slices. Checking the sky, there was intermittent patches of blue, but the radar showed incoming rain.
When I'm traveling with the family, this is what we'd call a "museum day." With that, I decided to go to Wheels Through Time in Maggie Valley.
I'll be the first to admit I'm not a Harley fan. If I wanted to be part of a culture based on marketing, I would have joined the Marine Corps. Nevertheless, I knew they had some WWII-era bikes and that's what I really wanted to see. Walking in the front door, you're treated to a hill climber and the belly tanker discovered by the guys at American Pickers.
I paid my $10 (yay, military discount!) and headed inside. Even though I had no idea what I was looking at, I was impressed my the size of the collection and the time (and money) it must have taken to accumulate it. One of the really cool things about this place is many bikes are not restored and can even start.
Of course, bikes that were ADV-worthy caught my eye.
And the 1915 bike from the Dayton. Go, Bucks!
And the pin-up girl.
And what kid raised in the 70's wouldn't be impressed by Evel Knievel's bike.
I really loved the OD Green on the old Harleys.
But that only reminded me why I was here. Bring on the military hardware!
The 1942 Indian 841
The 1942 Harley Davidson XA.
Harley Davidson TA Trike, serial number 1 (of 17).
And my dream bike, the 1942 Harley Davidson WLA.
By now it was about 1:30 PM, so I went up the block to Maggie Valley Restaurant for lunch. I asked the waitress to recommend something. I've never had trout before, so that made my choice easy. It was delicious and not at all "fishy."
By now it was getting to be mid-afternoon. I tried checking the weather radar, but my app wasn't loading the graphics. With a little time to kill, I decided to take the long way back to camp by going a 120 mile route over Clingman's Dome, through Cades Cove, down Parson Branch Road, and down the Dragon to NC-28. Big mistake!
After heading west through Maggie Valley, I jumped on the Blue Ridge Parkway to bypass Cherokee.
On the north side of Cherokee, I stopped for gas and waited out a small rainstorm. I tried to check my weather radar app, but it still wasn't working. I headed north to Clingman's Dome and only got 2 miles before the skies opened up. I was just passing the Oconaluftee Visitor Center, so I rode across the grass on the right median, parked in their lot, and ran for cover. I got there first, but other riders quickly joined me.
After waiting for the rain to stop, I jumped back on the bike and headed up. The ride to Clingman's Dome wasn't too bad and I made pretty good time. By now it was after 5 PM and pretty cloudy, so I didn't bother making the walk up the hill to the observation tower. I only hung out long enough to take a few pictures.
The road heading back down US-441 towards Gatlinburg was really cool, but the traffic was slow. I would have loved to take the 405-degree turn at a decent speed, but the continuous line of cars were only doing about 20 MPH. When I finally turned onto Little River Road, it was after 6 PM. With 60 miles to go, I was starting to get worried.
With most of the traffic heading out, I hauled ass on the 25-mile entrance to the park. However, once I got to Cades Cove, I found out why people say to avoid it. The area is a geologic curiosity, being a 2-mile by 7-mile isolated valley in the middle of the Great Smoky Mountains. And to the horror of those trapped inside it, it has a 11-mile one-way loop running around the perimeter.
Things were going great for the first 2.5 miles, but then I hit traffic. And we didn't move. For 10 minutes. I got pissed and started to pass people on the left. That went well for all of 10 cars until someone started screaming at me. Not wanting to get into a road rage incident, I got off and walked the bike. I even took off my helmet to emphasize the "not riding" part. On flats and uphill, I put it in gear and let the idle speed and 47-tooth rear do its thing. Downhill I cut the engine, put it in neutral, and coasted down standing on one peg. As opposed to my first interaction with the public, all my subsequent comments were of the "Good idea!" and "You lucky bastard" variety.
After a mile of walking, I finally got to reason for the jam. There was a bear in a tree on the side of the road and drivers had stopped their cars on the road to get out and take pictures. As I passed the first car, I said in a very loud voice, "You caused a one-mile backup for a damn bear in a tree?" Nobody bothered to reply or head back to their cars.
A little further down the road, I stopped long enough for one picture.
And a few minutes later, I was heading down a dirt road to Parson Branch Road.
Everyone raves about Parson Branch Road. It's 8 miles long! It's one-way! It's got 18 water crossings! Let me tell you, the road sucked and was not worth the price of admission. All the water crossings are paved and four were dry. Of the ones that had water, I didn't even get my feet wet.
I guess to someone on a big-bike, this is high adventure. But I have enough time in the saddle to know there's a lot better out there. The only thing I could say was a positive was the one-way traffic, so I could be reasonably sure I could haul ass without running head-on into someone else.
Reaching the Dragon, I turned south and headed for camp. By now it was after 8 PM and the road was deserted. No cars in sight and better yet, no cops. I rode as fast as my talent would allow and crossed into North Carolina just as my GPS switched to dim mode, indicating it was past sunset.
From the Deal's Gap Motorcycle Resort, I had a 22-mile ride in dark, wet, and foggy conditions. I took it slow and only had to pull over for one car that obviously knew the road better than I did. I pulled into Kickstand Lodge around 9 PM, just as dinner was finishing up. I jumped off my bike and loaded up my plate. Several guests gave me shit for the timing, jealously mocking for riding all day and then arriving when dinner was on the table.
The GPS indicated 184 miles for the day and clearly showed the climb and descent of the tallest peak in the park.
Tomorrow I head home and take the road less traveled.

I woke about around 8 AM and make a quick run into Robbinsville for cash. Heading back to camp, the Great Smoky Mountains were doing their thing.
After a quick breakfast of scrambled eggs and potatoes, I settled my tab and packed up to leave.
I wasn't in a rush to get back to Ft Gordon, but I didn't want to linger, either. I had to get back in time to eat dinner and do some laundry, so I was shooting for a 6 PM arrival time. With the WR250R being a dual sport, I didn't want to miss out on some of the better paved roads in the area, so I headed south on NC-28. This route is also known as Hellbender 28 or Moonshiner 28, depending on whose marketing you subscribe to. No matter what you call it, the route offers great twisties with higher speeds than the Dragon.
From Franklin, it was a straight shot down US-23 to Dillard, Georgia, and from there I headed east. I went south on Hale Ridge Road, going back the way I came, but half-way through, I decided to do some exploring. The Chattooga River District motor vehicle use map, says my route took me from Forest Road 7, to FR 86, to FR 86C. The last one was best of all. It was rocky, muddy, overgrown, and twisty.
It even had a log crossing.
At one intersection, I found an unmarked road and an abandoned road branching off from the main route. I followed the unmarked road for a short bit, but turned around when I found it was leading me away from my destination. I went back to the intersection and parked the bike to check out the abandoned road, which the GPS said was Totter Pole Road. Two large piles of dirt would keep out any 4-wheel vehicle, but there was a definite path for foot or 2-wheeled traffic. Once I was past the mounds, I could tell by the steep sides that this was once a well-used road. It reminded me of wagon roads that I would find along the ridgelines while backpacking the National Forests in Ohio.
The road was fairly overgrown with a few down trees. The larger ones could be bypassed or rode over. Not all of them successfully.
Towards the end, the road curved right on the GPS, but it really continued straight down. Just as I was about to break out onto Warwoman Road, I was stopped by a HUGE tree across the path.
I parked the bike and scouted for a bypass, but it was no use. There were two small creeks on either side of the road and their banks were too steep. Not wanting to backtrack, I laid the bike on its side and dragged it under by the front tire.
After five minutes of pulling and ten minutes of rest, I was back in business.
Like my previous trip, I'm glad the toughest part came at the end to serve as a finale and high point of the trip. Jumping back on NC-28, I headed south until I passed a sign for Low Water Bridge Road. I turned around I went to check it out and found a small camping area with what was probably a ford, which is now used as a put-in for light watercraft.
Coming down out of the mountains, the landscape was dotted with small meadows.
Before long, I was back in Toccoa. From here it was pretty much a straight shot back to Fort Gordon, but I had one more side trip to do. About 9 miles north of Elberton, Georgia, the self-proclaimed "Granite Capital of the World," is the Georgia Guidestones.
Nobody knows for sure who put them here or why. Their origin and purpose have been debated by everyone from New Age hippies, to conspiracy theorists, to bible thumpers. These huge granite slabs are known for their 10 guides written in eight languages. In English, the ten guides are:
1.Maintain humanity under 500,000,000 in perpetual balance with nature.
2.Guide reproduction wisely improving fitness and diversity.
3.Unite humanity with a living new language.
4.Rule passion faith tradition and all things with tempered reason.
5.Protect people and nations with fair laws and just courts.
6.Let all nations rule internally resolving external disputes in a world court.
7.Avoid petty laws and useless officials.
8.Balance personal rights with social duties.
9.Prize truth beauty love seeking harmony with the infinite.
10.Be not a cancer on the earth Leave room for nature Leave room for nature.
In addition to the Guidestones themselves, there's an explanatory tablet and what can be described as a historical marker.
It was 4:30 PM by now, so it was time to haul ass. I found the new gearing not to be much of a problem on the highway. I got back to Ft. Gordon around 6:15 PM with just under 811 miles for the weekend.
Great way to wrap up the summer. I still have one more 4-day weekend for Columbus Day. The weather will be cooler then, so maybe I should head south. For now, it's...

Joe, for future reference, there is a great campground in Tellico Plains:
Run by Jack and Lori Hunt...who are just awesomely fabulous hosts. This is where I go every April for the SabMag get together. (SabMag = Sabres and Magnas). They'll treat you right...especially if you tell them a Maggot sent you.

This is my last free weekend at Ft. Gordon. I had hoped to head back to the mountains, but it looked like the weather wasn't going to cooperate. So instead, I stayed local and checked out the gravel across the border in South Carolina. I did my best to make a route based on an old screen shot I saw in the local ADV thread. My GPS tracks can be found here.
The weather was perfect for riding.
I found a few creek crossings, too.
I stopped to check out "Rock House," built in the early 1800s and said to be haunted.
I ran over this guy. He must be part honey badger, because he didn't care.
I arrived in Abbeville, South Carolina about 4:30 PM, thirty minutes before Rough House was about to re-open for dinner.
I took the time to wander around the town square.
The Courthouse.
The Opera House / Municipal Building.
The Belmont Hotel.
The interior of Rough House.
Their specialty is hot dogs, so I had three with chili and onions, with a side of conversation. In talking with the server, I learned that Abbeville used to be a stop-over point for train travel and the hotel and opera house were the lifeblood of the town. Like many other small towns, there's not much here and a few shuttered business stand testament to the difficulty in staying afloat.
There's a lot to explore in this old town, but I had to be heading back. Taking off about 5:15 PM, I didn't bother rushing because I knew I'd never make it back before dark.
Doing the last few miles of gravel in the dark was a new experience and added a bit of challenge to the ride. It's definitely something I'd like to do again.
I had just under 200 miles for the day. It was a great way to close this chapter and prepare for the journey home.

Thanks for the assist. I was wondering what it was. It's the first snake I've seen in 9000 miles of riding and, by far, the biggest I've seen in the wild.

Former senior Justice Department official, now Georgetown law professor Neal Katyal explains in an interview with Time magazine that the late night visit by Andrew Card and Alberto Gonzales to the hospital bed of John Ashcroft–described so vividly by Deputy Attorney General Comey in his testimony on Tuesday–was most likely a serious breach of legislation and regulations governing the use of highly classified national security information.
"Executive branch rules require sensitive classified information to be discussed in specialized facilities that are designed to guard against the possibility that officials are being targeted for surveillance outside of the workplace," says Georgetown Law Professor Neal Katyal, who was National Security Advisor to the Deputy Attorney General under Bill Clinton. "The hospital room of a cabinet official is exactly the type of target ripe for surveillance by a foreign power," Katyal says. This particular information could have been highly sensitive. Says one government official familiar with the Terrorist Surveillance Program: "Since it's that program, it may involve cryptographic information," some of the most highly protected information in the intelligence community.
The case for a violation by Gonzales and Card thus seems strong. And it wouldn't be the first serious breach by the Bush White House. Note that Lewis "Scooter" Libby, a senior adviser to the president, was prosecuted and convicted for making false statements in connection with the investigation of his disclosure of the identity of covert CIA agent Valerie Plame. Testimony in the Libby trial made clear that this disclosure had been plotted by Vice President Dick Cheney and involved Bush's chief political adviser, Karl Rove. Another investigation has cited the White House for rampant breaches in the handling of highly classified information. All of these cases collectively show a consistent pattern of misuse of highly classified national security information for partisan political purposes–usually to damage a person viewed as a critic. And note: Karl Rove did not even have his security clearance revoked.

MMO sandbox games are as exciting as watching paint dry.

The biggest sandbox to date is EVE with ~350k....and it still doesnt top EQ1 sub numbers from 04 era which stood at 450k.
You guys belong to the virtual reality/sims clubs of America....which wasnt popular among us longtime video-gamers back then. Well before MMOs went mainstream, bringing in a mulititude of newer gamers which joined in the WOW phase.
I am with ya guys when you wanna bring back more open world stuff. The second it starts getting into the alternate reality/virtual economic simulaters you guys lose support. Instead of accepting the lack of appeal to others, and supporting the games that do cater to your style.....you guys hang out here whining daily.
As I have said before....that is a nerd's nerd style of gaming. It just doesnt belong in a AAA title if Devs are looking to attract the masses. It boils down to ROLE play vs ROLL play. As sub numbers have shown thru the yrs, the far majority are interested in ROLL play. Which was true even before WoW launched.
Asking Devs to make AAA sandbox titles is like trying to get fine dining on a McDonalds dollar menu budget.

Plus, "they" have as much right to go to game sites and state what THEY want as you.

Rarely do I see those coming from my side of the table (not all of whom I agree with on every little feature) launch a nuclear verbal attack on another for liking a certain style of gameplay. I can count, for certain, 3-4 individuals in this thread who have and if they had addressed me in the real world, face to face, in this manner they'd be on their way to a hospital (or worse) and I'd be on my way to county or federal.
I still just don't see why it's so terrible to have AAA versions that appeal to both sides. Currently AAA means around 300K to 500K subscriptions. A goal which both types can achieve.

Things invariably change, and gaming will too. Where it goes only time will reveal, but where's the harm for us in wanting something different than what is presently available?
Well I don't nuke WoW players. I give them a hard time sometimes, but in a challenging way to bring out deeper discussions. They can have their game, I'm not in hopes of it failing. The only true gripe I have with a deal of many WoW players is that they have an army of people that go to game development forums and demand WoW type features, get their wish and then stick with WoW leaving those actual game communities in shambles. It's all they will ever really play imo, until Blizzard releases something else at least. Maybe I explained it more directly that time?

Well put. There is plenty of room in the MMORPG genre for quality. A 'common denominator' can be anything so long as it draws a crowd. No need to set the common denom where the crowd is presently convened. More selection means better gameplay in the end, and isn't that a rallying cry everyone can subscribe to?

But make a fun game and you will get enough subs to run the game and a little extra too (unless you do a Vanguard and release in such horrible shape that few people ever touch it after it but that is another story).
I think there is room for a few different kinds of MMOs and there is the possibility to mix newer and older styles and adding very different things to the mix.
There are many different ways to handle the mechanics of a MMO instead of the old systems that EQ and UO used. I loved to see a version of Runequest or a game that uses the rules from GWs old Warhammer fantasy RPG. Palladiums mix of levels and skills would also make a somewhat different experience.
You could also make a MMO without XP with only gear and achivements (to gain access and stuff), the possibilities are limitless but most people only see the regular system or in some cases that plus UOs system.

Or do they have to specifiy it to you with each feature they mention? Sure, I think I could be on board with ditching instances and going back to camping mobs? I also think that each mob should be evaluated as to whether it is a high traffic quest mob or a rare item quest mob, and that the game should look at how many people are in the area with that quest and adjust up or down the spawn times.
I doubt that anyone really wants to wait 30 minutes on a a boat, for example. That said, I see nothing wrong with a 5 or 10 minutes wait. If anything it'll give those with ADD who cower at that little bit of time a chance to go to the bathroom, get a drink/smoke or go check on their kids/check facebook/make pub plans (for those who complain that they don't want downtime because they "have a life").
That's the problem (as I see it and I'm certainly not suggesting you you see it). Those older systems haven't seen subsequent iterations. They instead were dumped sum total for something totally else and the people that loved them but knew they could do with a little tweaking here or there were left hanging in the wind. And those aren't the only features that get brought up. As I said before, those are just the ones some folks keep focusing on because of the possible shock value they can get out of them in a counter argument. Especially when they don't even acknowledge that time variable of those, which seems to be causing all the fuss, can be pared down a little to not be as extreme as before but not be so insignificant.
And ultimately, I haven't seen one single person who likes the old school style demanding that all future games be made in that manner such that everyone has to play those type games. They're just looking for one modern made game to capture those things made by a company who has the money to even be in this business in the first place.

Games like DAoC weren't losing numbers and then changed to survive.
They changed, and then started losing numbers in large chunks.
Theres 3 solid reasons that DAoC is almost dead right now, and its nothing to do with it being outdated and "not fun". So until you play those games, please stop spreading your lies around.
1. /level 20 for all accounts with a level 50, killed the incoming noob population because there was no vets to group with/show people the ropes.
2. Trials of Atlantis expansion made the game all about grinding for PvE loot in order to compete in PvP. Changed the entire philosophy of the game and people didn't like that. They left by the hundred thousands.
3. EA bought Mythic and put them to work on Warhammer, so no further expansions/work was being done on DAoC.
And now you know, so stop posting your slander.

And having no instances does not mean there will be camping. Only if your game is a simple one trick pony like WoW, where the only point is to get gear, would there be spawn camping.

There was freedoms I miss, such as being able to give items to NPCs and they would equip it, cast beneficial spells on NPCs, attack any NPC you wanted, drop things on the ground. I like the realisms removed, weight of stuff mattered, you had to keep food and drink. I miss the codependency and differences of each class, you needed druids or wizards to travel quickly around the world, melee needed casters to bind, classes had very unique buffs and abilities that formed a well oiled group. Now days, to make sure everything is equal classes are blan and all feel the same. They really have very little to offer each other than what they already have.

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Most independent community pharmacies offer patients traditional compounding services and, while it accounts for a small portion of their business, the health-enhancing effect for patients can be dramatic, according a new survey released today by the National Community Pharmacists Association (NCPA).
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20100106/DC33253LOGO)
"This survey offers fresh evidence that traditional compounding services are a saving grace for patients when mass-produced drugs aren't available or are not appropriate for the patient," said NCPA CEO B. Douglas Hoey, RPh, MBA. "Traditional compounding may just be one of many health services offered by independent community pharmacists, but it is vital to better health for many Americans. Pharmacists will continue to work constructively with Congress and other policymakers to not only help prevent another crisis like the meningitis outbreak, but to also preserve patients' access to customized and safe compounded medications. "
Pharmacists and other experts consider the cornerstone of traditional pharmacy compounding to be the preparing of customized medications on a patient-by-patient basis in response to the request of a doctor or other prescriber. The practice is most commonly employed when manufactured drugs are not appropriate for a particular patient (such as children or those with allergies) or when mass-produced medicines are not available.
In November 2012, over 400 independent community pharmacists responded to an NCPA survey about traditional pharmacy compounding. According to the survey:

"The history of every country begins in the heart of a man or a woman," writes Willa Cather in O Pioneers!
The country is America; the woman is Alexandra Bergson, a fiercely independent young Swedish immigrant girl who inherits her father's farm in Nebraska. A model of emotional strength, courage, and resolve, Alexandra fights long and hard to transform her father's patch of raw, wind-blasted prairie into a highly profitable business.
A gripping saga of love, murder, greed, failure, and triumph, O Pioneers! vividly portrays the hardships of prairie life. Above all, it champions the belief that hard work is the surest road to personal fulfillment. Described upon publication in the New York Times as "American in the best sense of the word," O Pioneers! celebrates the men and women who struggled to build a nation that is both compelling and contradictory.

Spare, but there.
The American heartland today was kick started by the people described in this book.
An important segment of history comes alive under Willa Cather's pen.
"Don't like the narrator, I'm switching to print"
I'm really not enjoying this audiobook at all. I think it's the narrator, because I know this is a classic. I'm switching to the printed version to finish the book.
I haven't been able to get into any character. The narrator is really not good at different voices and accents. The book is just dragging on.
Katherine Kellgren or a better narrator.

Best Uses
Be nice if they would develop one that had clear-rubber on the keys so back lit keys could be seen in the dark, however for what it was worth it is a decent buy. Could probably find one cheaper on Ebay but bought it with my order.

"Our invitations arrived recently (sooner than expected) and look absolutely beautiful! The design requests we submitted were perfect and really helped to make our invitations unique."
"I am so happy with these invitations! They are simple, yet beautiful and classy. I wanted to put all the information (reception and all) on one card, and I needed to make a second set in another language. The designer followed my instructions perfectly and made great suggestions to fit the text on the page. They turned out even better than expected. The paper quality (I used the shimmer paper) was excellent. I would recommend the shimmer paper. I can't say enough about the service as well. The proofs were done so quickly, the people on the phone were amazing and friendly and the package was delivered days ahead of time. The only hiccup I had was that they were unable to tell me what the customs/duties would be so I had to just keep my fingers crossed. In the end, it wasn't so expensive (about $60 for Canada). I would recommend Wedding Paper Divas to any bride-to-be!"
"I really enjoyed these invitations. They are beautiful, especially when printed out (we used the default card stock and they were gorgeous). I think the invitations are elegant and lovely; perfect for a fall wedding. I really liked that I could put both set of parents on the invitation without it looking too busy or awkward. I loved the edits that the website's wedding designer/reviewer did to make sure everything was perfect. Even better, the cards arrived ahead of schedule. Flawless customer service and a beautiful invitation."
"The invitation came out great. On the backside of the invite, I chose the red/maroon color with hotel accommodations listed. In the picture the red/maroon did not look like it matched the blossoms on the front too well. When I received it, the colors matched perfectly!! i have had so many comments about how simple, but beautiful the invite is!"
"This is a simple elegant card but the bride and groom didn't like the organge color of the coral, so with the designer's help it was changed to a smoke gray - both the invitation as well as response and details card. Feel free to be creative - you can have your own perfect card! Only dissappointment was they don't provide "inside" envelopes - only outside. Too late to add them now. Should be provided at no extra cost."

Jacoby Ellsbury nearly hit a homerun, Brett Gardner actually did, and the Yankees snapped a four-game losing streak with a 2-1 win over the Oakland Athletics on rainy-turned-sunny afternoon at Yankee Stadium in the Bronx.
Masahiro Tanaka failed to strike out five batters for the first time in his career, but he did pick up a quality start for the 12th time in 12 starts this season, earning his 9th Major League win with six innings of one-run ball.
The Athletics took a 1-0 lead two batters into the ballgame when John Jaso took Tanaka deep with a solo homerun to right field. It was Jaso's 6th homerun of the season, and the first homerun given up by Tanaka in nearly a month.
Tanaka settled in after the homerun and only gave up four more hits over the next five innings, with a walk and four strikeouts to his credit.
Ellsbury nearly put the Yankees on the board with a two-run homerun in the bottom of the 1st inning. Following a Derek Jeter single, Ellsbury lined a ball off of the top of the right field wall. It was originally ruled a homerun, but thanks to the power of instant replay, was changed to a double, and the Yankees would go scoreless in the frame.
The Yankees got the run back in the 2nd thanks to some production from the bottom of the lineup. Brian McCann, the No. 7 hitter, slapped a double the other way into left field, then Alfonso Soriano singled to center field to score McCann, tying the game at 1-1.
An inning later, Gardner led off the 3rd with a solo homerun deep into the right field seats. His 4th dinger of the season put the Yankees up 2-1 -- the lead they would keep until the over end thanks to solid pitching from Tanaka and the bullpen.
Dellin Betances tossed a scoreless 7th inning, collecting another strikeout. Adam Warren gave up singles to the first two hitters he faced in the 8th, but battled back to strikeout two of the next three hitters, including Yoenis Cespedes, to get out of the inning unharmed. Then David Robertson took over in the 9th and locked down his 13th save of the season.
The Yankees will now hit the road and head to Kansas City to open a three-game series with the Royals, starting tomorrow night at Kauffman Stadium. Chase Whitley and Jeremy Guthrie will square off in that matchup at 8:10 pm ET.

Research & Development Activity
The Center focuses on real world impacts with an emphasis on the development of actionable strategies and policies through active collaboration with key private sector stakeholders and a holistic approach to risk management and resilience. The Center's research activity focuses on achieving objectives in uncertain environments with insights from a diversity of disciplines including the areas of enterprise risk management, strategic planning, change management, finance /venture capital, project management and innovation.
InterCEP's research activities are international in scope, regularly engaging with international corporations and governmental entities across the globe. Special emphasis is placed on the "what" and "why" of enterprise risk management and resilience. Evolving best practices and standards provide insights into "what" can be done. Bottom-line and other impacts of risk management and resilience provide the insights into "why" organizations should invest resources in these practices.
The Center's work acknowledges that risk management not only mitigates the "downside" impacts of crisis but also enables a more agile, informed and coordinated organization to achieve "upside" benefits and opportunities inherent in uncertainty.
Core elements of the Center's research and outreach activity include:
- Effective Practice - The "What to do": Identifying and promoting industry best practices and consensus-based guidance on risk management and resilience. The Center focuses on collaborating with key stakeholders to identify effective practices and lessons learned in the implementation of risk management spanning enterprise risk management, security, crisis and emergency management, business continuity and related disciplines. Supporting the development of standards and guidance is included in these efforts.
- Economic Rationale - The "Why to do it": Identifying impacts of effective risk management and resilience and forwarding new business incentives. Absent a compelling "why" to manage risks, the "what" to do will not get done as such activity will not receive the necessary investments of time and resources. Identifying and clarifying the economic and other impacts of effective risk management is critical, as is facilitating the development of new market-based incentives. The Center is undertakes to identify, expand and communicate the "business case" for risk management and resilience.
- Promoting Collaboration on Shared Risks Across Both the Private Sector and Public Sectors. The Center advances an integrated approach to resilience and risk management activities among private sector organizations and between private sector and public sector organizations.
Related work includes metrics/assessment/benchmarking, risk-related information flows, and public-private partnerships.
The Center has undertaken a variety of impact-oriented initiatives to advance resilience; these include:
- Identification & Communication of the Business Case for Risk Management & Resilience: The Center continues to identify both corporate and wider community/societal impacts of resilience/risk management and present these in a manner conducive to inform investment in resilience.
- Standards Development & Consensus-Based Policy Development: InterCEP's Director serves on the national board of directors of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) and works for wider application of the consensus-based approach for policy development on both a public policy as well as industry policy basis. He also serves as a steering committee member of the ANSI Homeland Security Standards Committee, a coordinating body for public/private coordination in this critical area. The director also serves on the U.S. Technical Advisory Group to the ISO International Technical Committee on Societal Security, participating in the development of the first ISO standard on incident management and operational continuity. He also has serviced as a principal member of the NFPA 1600 Technical Committee, the Standard on Disaster/Emergency Management and Business Continuity. The Center also developed, with the input and collaboration of over 60 organizations, a draft standard on "Mobilizing Private Sector Resources to Disaster." The draft standard was developed based on lessons learned in part from Hurricane Katrina. It has been incorporated into a FEMA initiative to establish an integrated standard and process for resource management.
- Recommendation and Promotion of the Private Sector Preparedness Certification Program (PS-Prep): The Center in conjunction with leading corporations initially proposed this program to the U.S. Congress and coordinated corporate input on the development of the legislation. InterCEP hosted five working groups with several hundred corporate participants as well as key public sector stakeholders. The working groups advised on the design and implementation of the program. InterCEP's Director serves on the advisory committee for the PS-Prep accrediting body and has testified to Congress twice on this program (2008 and 2009).
- Development & Promotion of New Economic Incentives for Resilience: The Center has collaborated with key stakeholders to create greater incentives for resilience in the following areas: insurance, rating agency consideration, legal liability mitigation, supply chain management and more rationale/integrated business reporting of resilience and preparedness.

Maintenance issues associated with servo valves in the landing gear brakes of a Batavia Air Airbus A320 aircraft caused the aircraft to veer sharply during a recent landing at the Indonesian city of Balikpapan.
The aircraft, registered PK-YVE, arrived from Bali at midday, veering sharply as it landed on Runway 25. The pilot's attempts to return the aircraft to the runway centre failed, says a report from Indonesia's National Safety Transportation Committee (NTSC).
When the aircraft finally came to a halt it was just 25 metres from the end of the runway, and sitting to the right of the centre line at a sharp angle. Its main landing gear had burrowed 30-40cm into the asphalt.
Initial investigations revealed that PK-YVE had steering and braking system issues since November 2011. The report made specific mention of two out-dated servo valves in the aircraft's landing gear brakes.
Without elaborating, the investigation team also said there was "a poor understanding about [maintenance] procedures, and a lack of effectiveness by the key personnel."
Prior to the incident in Balikpapan, the aircraft was also involved in a similar incident at Jayapura airport on 7 February.
Following this incident, Airbus recommended that Batavia Air conduct unspecified inspections on the aircraft before putting it back into service.
The recommendations were never fully implemented by Batavia Air because the aircraft's diagnostic system did not indicate faults in some of the areas where Airbus suggested that inspections be conducted.
The NTSC adds that engineering personnel may not have understood the pilots' report on the braking and steering system fault.
"Based on the work and statement evidence given, [it is] clear that Batavia Air did not fully comply with the recommendations Airbus had made," it says. "Rectification works made by the airline could not solve the problem until the second incident at Balikpapan airport happened."

Cool image man. There's a lot of great rendering in there. If I have to crit, I'd say perhaps try out different types of softer edges on this guy's hair. Also his hands look like two different sizes (I'm having the same problem also). Keep it up, man. Show some more.

The Patriot International plan offers travel medical coverage for U.S. citizens that are traveling outside of their home country (no travel within the U.S.). Your primary health insurance may not fully cover you while traveling abroad, and this plan can help to fill the coverage gaps.
As all travelers' needs differ, this plan offers different coverage and limit options to choose from:
Other coverages include Emergency Medical Evacuation and Accidental Death & Dismemberment. If you have primary health plan, and are under age 65, this plan covers sudden recurrence of a pre-existing condition up to the maximum medical limit selected. If you are under age 65 and do not have primary health coverage, then this plan covers up to $20,000. For those that are 65 and older, this plan covers up to $2,500 for a sudden recurrence of a pre-existing condition. A condition is considered pre-existing if it existed in the three year period prior to the plan effective date.
This plan also includes 24/7 emergency assistance services that you can call in the event there is an emergency during your trip. These assistance services can help in the event of a medical emergency, evacuation, or if precertification is needed.

Recipe by BRATTYBLUEEYES
"I came up with this recipe when my husband decided to grow our own kohlrabi and I had never had it before. This makes a different but tasty slaw that will go well with most everything."
Hmm. None of these ingredients are on sale today.

3/4 cup
2 tablespoons
apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon
lemon juice
1 tablespoon
prepared mustard
1 teaspoon
white sugar
kohlrabi bulbs, peeled and grated
apples - peeled, cored, and diced
salt and ground black pepper to taste
I really enjoyed this slaw; it was a nice refreshing complement to our meal now that it is so warm outside. The only change I made was to use lime juice instead of lemon juice, because that's what we had on hand. This will definitely be a go-to salad instead of the heaviness of macaroni and potato salads.
Great recipe for kohlrabi...no bitter taste...I used a little less mayonaise because I didn't want it to be too heavy. It was delicious.

This was really, really good! We got some kohlrabi in our CSA and we were looking for a way to use it and this is definitely a great way to use it up! The only changes I made was to use Veganaise (we're vegan) and we omitted the lemon juice b/c we happened to be out of it, but even if we had it I don't think it needs it! The sauce is the perfect flavoring for the kohlrabi and apples! Thanks for this recipe! Yum!!
This is a great new twist on cabbage slaw. I didn't change a thing and it was the first thing to disappear from the table!
The entire family love it even my 2 boys. I followed the recipe except since my kohlrabi were small I only used 2 apples and I added alittle carrot for color.
Added some shredded carrot just for color, but otherwise was an excellent flavor combo!
Yummy! I will rarely change a recipe the first time it's made and this one doesn't need any changes. I like that it adds a healthy twist with the kohlrabi.
Surprisingly good. I made it because I got a bunch of kohlrabi and didn't know what to do with it. The homemade slaw dressing is yummy. Kohlrabi works a lot like jicama in this slaw. I will make it again when I get more kohlrabi.

The .exe extension on a filename indicates an executable file. Executable files may, in some cases, harm your computer. Therefore, please read below to decide for yourself whether the csrss.exe on your computer is a Trojan that you should remove, or whether it is a file belonging to the Windows operating system or to a trusted application.
The process known as Client Server Runtime Process or Csrss Helper File or FTP Serv-U Daemon or SFX Cabinet Self-Extractor or setup or Live Update (version 64 bit) or Transparent Proxy Server or np
belongs to software Microsoft Windows Operating System or update or Serv-U or SFX Cabinet Self-Extractor or Csrss Helper File or Live Update (version 64 bit) or Transparent Proxy Server or Project1
by Microsoft (www.microsoft.com) or Cat Soft (www.cat-soft.com) or SFX Cabinet Self-Extractor or Transparent Proxy Server or TSoft or Symt or Transparent Proxy or Symt64bit.
Description: The original csrss.exe from Microsoft is an important part of Windows, but often causes problems. Csrss.exe is located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder.
Known file sizes on Windows 8/7/XP are 6,144 bytes (88% of all occurrences), 4,096 bytes and 4 more variants.
The csrss.exe file is a Windows core system file. The program is not visible. Csrss.exe is a trustworthy file from Microsoft. Therefore the technical security rating is 4% dangerous, however you should also read the user reviews.
Recommended: Identify csrss.exe related errors
Is csrss.exe a virus? No, it is not. The true csrss.exe file is a safe Microsoft Windows system process, called "Client Server Runtime Process".
However, writers of malware programs, such as viruses, worms, and Trojans deliberately give their processes the same file name to escape detection. Viruses with the same file name are such as TROJ_GEN.USEGJ20 or TROJ_GEN.R47C3H7 (detected by TrendMicro), and Trojan-Proxy.Win32.Agent.kj or Trojan-Downloader.MSIL.Agent.pg (detected by Kaspersky).
To ensure that no rogue csrss.exe is running on your PC, click here to run a Free Malware Scan.
How to recognize suspicious variants?
External information from Paul Collins:
There are different files with the same name:
Important: Some malware disguises itself as csrss.exe, particularly when not located in the C:\Windows\System32 folder. Therefore, you should check the csrss.exe process on your PC to see if it is a threat. We recommend Security Task Manager for verifying your computer's security. This was one of the Top Download Picks of The Washington Post and PC World.
Summary: Average user rating of csrss.exe: based on 489 votes with 9 reviews. 153 users think csrss.exe is essential for Windows or an installed application. 30 users think it's probably harmless. 111 users think it's neither essential nor dangerous. 75 users suspect danger. 120 users think csrss.exe is dangerous and recommend removing it. 44 users don't grade csrss.exe ("not sure about it").
A clean and tidy computer is the key requirement for avoiding problems with csrss. This means running a scan for malware, cleaning your hard drive using cleanmgr and sfc /scannow, uninstalling programs that you no longer need, checking for Autostart programs (using msconfig) and enabling Windows' Automatic Update. Always remember to perform periodic backups, or at least to set restore points.
Should you experience an actual problem, try to recall the last thing you did, or the last thing you installed before the problem appeared for the first time. Use the resmon command to identify the processes that are causing your problem. Even for serious problems, rather than reinstalling Windows, you are better off doing a repair of your installation, or in the case of Windows 8, executing the DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth command. This allows you to repair the operating system without losing data.
To help you analyze the csrss.exe process on your computer, the following programs have proven to be helpful: Security Task Manager displays all running Windows tasks, including embedded hidden processes, such as keyboard and browser monitoring or Autostart entries. A unique security risk rating indicates the likelihood of the process being potential spyware, malware or a Trojan. Malwarebytes Anti-Malware detects and removes sleeping spyware, adware, Trojans, keyloggers, malware and trackers from your hard drive.

"Our knowledge of Lake Tahoe's nearshore fishery is very limited. There have only been a few sporadic assessments and documentaries of the nearshore fishery in the past 60 years, and no studies were conducted in the last 20 years after the establishment of invasive, warmwater fishes," Ka Lai Ngai, a researcher in the University's Department of Natural Resources and Environment said.
This knowledge gap stimulated the process of conducting a contemporary assessment and developing ecologically relevant metrics to assess the nearshore fishery. Chandra proposes one of those metrics be ultraviolet radiation exposure, and a new TRPA threshold be developed for it, the Ultraviolet Attainment Threshold. The UVAT is a target value for water clarity based on surface UV exposure during peak spawning season, and experimentally derived UV exposure levels lethal to larval warmwater fish.
"We've found that decreased ultraviolet radiation is one of the major factors in the changes that make it easier for invasive species to proliferate, including fish, plants and mollusks," Chandra said.
Tahoe watchers are accustomed to hearing about clarity of the water, and it's decline, and UV radiation penetration is affected by clarity. In Lake Tahoe the average annual Secchi transparency dropped from 102 feet in 1968 to 69 feet by 1998. The summer 2010 Secchi reading was 68 feet. During this same time a number of nonnative warmwater fish species became established in portions of the lake suggesting that decrease in water transparency may create a refuge for nonnative species that are less sensitive to the optical properties of water such as ultraviolet radiation.
