Super Alpine Jacket (Men's) Closeout 2012 (out-of-stock)
Out of Stock Product Number: 37185
The men's Super Alpine Jacket by Patagonia is a classic reborn: the bomber big-mountain jacket is engineered with waterproof/breathable 3-layer nylon GORE-TEX Pro Shell for alpine climbing or ski mountaineering in the worst possible conditions.
Like a modern suit of armor for adventuresome ascents and descents, the Super Alpine Jacket provides bomber big-mountain protection from the worst possible weather with the best available waterproof/breathable fabrics. The extremely light but durable GORE-TEX Pro Shell technology has a DWR (durable water repellent) finish, a tough nylon outer with key-area reinforcements, and a micro-grid interior that helps optimize breathability. A flat-pleated front stays close to your body to let you see your feet, and allows the pockets to expand without adding bulky seams. Trim, watertight zippers for the pockets and pit-zips are laminated in place to reduce weight and bulk. The underarm gusset keeps the jacket in place when you lift your arms, and the Gasket Dry Cuffs seal out the elements at the wrists. Other details include a helmet-compatible, 2-way adjustable hood with a laminated visor, a small internal zippered chest pocket and sleek Touch Point System embedded cord locks in the hood and hem for quick adjustment without opening the jacket.

Comments about Patagonia Super Alpine Jacket (Men's):
Talk about a good first impression. Right after I got this jacket I was in the thick of it that was Super Storm/ Hurricane Sandy. In both the rain and the snow that it dumped on us it certainly proved its worth. Hands down my favorite thing about this jacket is the wrist gaskets...what a great addition. The fit is spot on as it is cut athletic but easy to layer underneath as the temps drop. At this point I have been through multiple Gore-tex Shells and this is my favorite so far. Its burly and is taking all the abuse I can give it. As a disclaimer I test products for the Gore company.

CANTON The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.
That was the message to SUNY Canton graduates from keynote speaker Dr. David J. Dupree during the colleges 106th commencement ceremony Saturday morning.
Dr. Dupree, Ogdensburg native and director of robotic surgery at Riverview Medical Center in Red Bank, N.J., joined the more than 1,000 graduates gathered in the schools Convocation, Athletic and Recreation Center. Introduced as the first to perform single-incision surgery at Riverview, he has appeared on ABC News and on the CBS-TV show The Doctors in 2012 after his life-saving removal of a 51-pound tumor from a patient.
A specialist in minimally invasive abdominal surgery, Dr. Dupree told graduates that his journey to success started with his failure, flunking out of SUNY Canton in 1991 with a 1.66 grade point average. On Saturday he received the associate degree in applied science that he started working toward 23 years ago.
And I am so proud, he said. But I am here to tell you that the concept of life and success is actually very simple. You have to close the gap between who you are right now and who you want to be, living your dream in the future.
That gap is divided and you are going to have to navigate it with many countless but necessary disappointments and many distractions, he said.
Im there now, but it took me forever to get there. Im the man I always wanted to be. Dont do what I did. Prepare yourselves. Stay prepared and do it the right way first. I never failed. I never failed. I just found a thousand wrong ways.
Acting SUNY Canton President Joseph C. Hoffman, who will be returning to SUNY Maritime as a distinguished learning professor when Zvi Szafran begins his Canton presidency in early July, told the students they have grown and matured in ways they may not yet comprehend fully.
You have learned to think on a different level, Mr. Hoffman said. You have learned the value of self-discipline and strong work ethic. Today you are experiencing a dream come true that is the result of your hard work and determination.
This was Mr. Hoffmans first and last commencement and he thanked the students, faculty and staff for making it the most rewarding experience of my life.
Among the graduates receiving special recognition were Chancellors Award for Student Excellence recipients Lydia C. Dale, a graphic and multimedia design major from Norwood, Meghan P. Gibson, a sports management major from Canton and Tiffany V. Moore, a veterinary science technology major from Brooklyn. Ms. Moore also received the Outstanding Graduate Award at the associate level.
Ms. Gibson, 21, and her longtime friend and classmate, Kyle R. Clark, 21, also of Canton, both said their graduation is bittersweet. The pair graduated from Canton High School together and are going their separate ways as a part of the first class to graduate from SUNY Cantons new sports management program.
When I went to high school I took all the pre-veterinarian classes, but I just cant bring myself to put an animal down, Ms. Gibson said. When I started working with SUNY Canton Sports Information Director Matt Metcalf, I really got into talking sports photos and writing about sports. You just get to do something different every day.
Ms. Gibson plans on heading to SUNY Cobleskill to work with its sports information program for the summer while she looks to get into a masters degree program to continue her education in sports administration.
Mr. Clark said he isnt quite ready to leave Canton and will continue to work at the Partridge Run Golf and Country Club. He said his love of golf is what brought him into the program; next year he plans on going to Florida where he hopes to continue working in the golfing industry as a tournament director or teacher.
He and Ms. Gibson said they wouldnt be where they were today if it werent for SUNY Canton.
We finally have to grow up and go into the real world after 16 years of school, Mr. Clark said. We are leaving a lot of people behind, but we are starting a new chapter in our lives and we couldnt have done it without this program.

The food and beverage industry is finding creative ways to use Microsoft Tag and connect with their customers in an interactive and low-cost way. These 2D barcodes can be seen on cereal boxes, food labels, restaurant menus, recipes, and more.
"The food and beverage industry is always looking for new and interesting ways to engage customers, and Microsoft Tag is a perfect fit," says Dave Sribnik, senior manager, Trends and Technology, for MarkeTeam, a sales promotion agency serving the hospitality industry.
"We recommend Tag to many of our clients as a way to interact with customers without driving up the costs of their product packaging and printed marketing materials." (Read MarkeTeam's complete thoughts on Tag here.)
Here are two other companies who've had great success using Tag in food and beverage service:
Eurest Dining Services
Eurest Dining Services (a division of Compass Group USA) ran a promotion where they placed Tags on disposable cups in corporate cafés at Microsoft. Employees scanned them with their smartphones to win meal discounts. The response was overwhelming: Cafés saw a 45% redemption rate (four times the norm), and winners spent 15% more on their checks than non-players. Results were so successful, Eurest expanded the campaign, leveraging Tag's Device ID functionality to distribute larger prizes based on the number of times customers scanned the Tags. Read more.
Harrah's Entertainment
In Fall 2010, all of Harrah's U.S. locations ran a football promotion that included Microsoft Tag. In Harrah's venues, guests could scan Tags printed on table toppers that linked to Crown Royal's website, where they could look up cocktail recipes featuring Crown Royal.
Kraft Foods, General Mills, Eurofood Italy, and Bonterra Vineyards are just a few of the brands using Tag, and they continue to expand their campaigns based on Tag's great return on investment.

Knicks Chalk
By Ryan Wallace
I was watching some of the Celtics pre season game against Armani Jeans over the weekend and Rajon Rondo was showing an emphasis on shooting his jumper when defenders went "under" their pick and roll. Rondo seemed to relish this and made a mockery of what Armani was trying to do defensively. Got me thinking where the Knicks will stack up with their Point Guard by numbers approach versus, arguably, the Top Two point guards in the league in Deron Williams and Rajon Rondo. Clearly the Knicks have stacked their spending in the front-court. Thus they have a huge advantage versus the other teams in the Atlantic, down low, in my opinion. One of the Knicks goals of winning the Atlantic will come down to how they will be able to counter Williams and Rondo in their games.
Pick and Roll defense by point guards comes down to scouting reports. For every game,given the personnel, you know whether you will be playing someone "under" or "over". Watching the Knicks practice yesterday on MSG the one drill they focused on was pick and roll defense. To me the Knicks season on defense will come down to whether the Knicks point guards will be effective chasing point guards "over" pick and rolls. They have a significant strength in defending the paint this year. Forcing the opponents point guards to drive the lane rather then shoot uncontested jumpers from the outside will be a major factor this season.

Venice, Florida -- Wild hog hunts will be allowed on a piece of county-owned property in Sarasota, despite protests of the plan.
County Commissioners voted 4-1 late Tuesday afternoon to approve two hogs hunts on the Deer Prairie Creek Preserve.
The Southwest Florida Water Management District says the hog population in the area is out of control.
Since October, they've trapped more than 300 wild hogs.
"They tear up vegetation, they disturb the soil, and cause an immense amount of damage," said Stephanie Green, with SWFMD.
The organization estimates there are hundreds, if not thousands, more hogs in the area.
This plan calls for 30 hunters, along with their attack dogs, knives, and guns to take out as many hogs as they can in a3-day period in December and March.
Similar hunts are currently allowed throughout the organization's 16-county district.
"What we want to do is pull out as many hogs in a short amount of time as we can," Green explained.
But becausethe property is co-owned by Sarasota County, commissioners had to sign off on the hunt.
That brought a couple dozen people out to Tuesday's meeting toprotest the plan, a number of them carrying signs to urge commissioners to vote against the idea.
"The methods used are cruel to the pigs, often fatal to the dogs, and dangerous to the humans involved," one said.
"There are more humane ways to call a herd than with guns, dogs, and knives. If it really is necessary," another argued.
SWFMD tells 10 News even if commissioners had voted down the plan, they have no plans to stop the hog hunts in other parts of the state.

Re: Current Soldier Diagnosed with Bipolar
Sir, this particular mood disorder is quite complex and varies from individual greatly. However, it is also can be one of the more debilitating disorders within the DSM.
In my opinion keeping this from the MEB process would be a serious risk to your command. I would argue this is accentuated even more by the fact that he is an officer.
Allow the MEB process to start the long, grinding process and see how it comes out at the other end.
Re: Current Soldier Diagnosed with Bipolar
This is only going to go through an MEB if this condition does not meet the retention standard and it is deemed to be caused or aggravated by his military duty. Otherwise if it didn't meet the retention standard it would go to a non duty related PEB.
The important questions here are...In what context did this LT report this to you?
Was it in attempt to be processed through MEB/PEB? Was it in a passing friendly lunch conversation? Does it appear to interfere with his duties? How much time in service does this person have? Is the person a traditional drilling Soldier?
You must proceed with caution depending on those answers. You cannot just go around arbitraily talking about a persons health diagnosis. It can land you in the hot seat because of HIPPA laws.

The Wind-Up Bird Chronicleby Haruki Murakami
Staff Pick
Known for his beautiful, haunting, lyrical, and — at times — funny surrealistic stylings, Haruki Murakami is one of the most beloved Japanese authors in the Western world. Although infused with the pop culture of the West, his writing remains at its core firmly rooted in Japan. And as modern as his style is, his work draws upon the country's past while delving deep into the Japanese psyche. The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is pure Murakami — a vast, enchanting mystery filled with dreamlike surrealism. Considered by many to be his best work, the novel tackles themes as varied as the nature of consciousness, romantic disappointment, and the lingering wounds of World War II. Readers will eagerly want to unravel this intricate, multi-layered tale.
Synopses & Reviews
From Powells.com:
Haruki Murakami is generally considered the greatest Japanese writer of his generation, but at times he seems more in tune with the culture of the West than of his native country. Throughout his work, the food, music, movies, and literature references will generally be familiar to western readers. When one of his characters makes dinner, it is just as likely spaghetti as sushi; when they read a novel it is probably Hemingway or Salinger; when one of his characters puts on an album it is British or American pop (he even named a novel after a Beatles song). This preoccupation with the cultural trappings of the West makes Murakami highly accessible to westerner readers, and accounts, in part, for his tremendous popularity here.
But he is even more successful in Japan (his elegiac Norwegian Wood sold an astounding four million copies). Perhaps Murakami is so popular with the Japanese in part because his characters seek their cultural anchors abroad. A central theme in Murakami's work is the feeling among many Japanese that they have lost the clear sense of self, the firm identity, they had before the war. And nowhere in his impressive body of work has he explored this experience more deeply, or expressed it more powerfully, than in his most ambitious work to date, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle.
The story begins with the disappearance of Toru Okada's wife's cat, which is immediately followed by the disappearance of the wife, herself. Mild-mannered Toru sets out to find out where they went and why. He discovers much more than he bargained for: a precocious teenager, a pair of psychic sisters, a haunted veteran of Japan's war in Manchuria, a perfectly corrupt politician, and a strangely appealing well in a neighbor's yard. In his quest, Toru only succeeds in raising more perplexing questions, but his discoveries do shed startling light on the roots of the Japanese malaise. Surreal, insightful, quirky, and surprisingly affecting, The Wind-up Bird Chronicle has further proved Murakami's status as a world-class writer. C. P. Farley, Powells.com
From Powells.com:
Publisher Comments:
Japan's most highly regarded novelist now vaults into the first ranks of international fiction writers with this heroically imaginative novel, which is at once a detective story, an account of a disintegrating marriage, and an excavation of the buried secrets of World War II.
In a Tokyo suburb a young man named Toru Okada searches for his wife's missing cat. Soon he finds himself looking for his wife as well in a netherworld that lies beneath the placid surface of Tokyo. As these searches intersect, Okada encounters a bizarre group of allies and antagonists: a psychic prostitute; a malevolent yet mediagenic politician; a cheerfully morbid sixteen-year-old-girl; and an aging war veteran who has been permanently changed by the hideous things he witnessed during Japan's forgotten campaign in Manchuria.
Gripping, prophetic, suffused with comedy and menace, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a tour de force equal in scope to the masterpieces of Mishima and Pynchon.
"Not merely a big book from the broadly respected Murakami, but a major work bringing signature themes of alienation, dislocation, and nameless fears through the saga of a gentle man forced to trade the familiar for the utterly unknown....On a canvas stretched from Manchuria to Malta, and with sound effects from strange birdcalls to sleigh bells in cyberspace, this is a fully mature, engrossing tale of individual and national destinies entwined. It will be hard to surpass." Kirkus Reviews
"A stunning work of art...that bears no comparisons." New York Observer
"Magnificent....[Murakami] has taken a pre-millennial swing for the fences a la David Foster Wallace and Don DeLillo." Newsweek
"Just what kind of book is it? That's the befuddling part. Plot summary is nearly useless....This overwhelming tidal wave of story washes over Toru Okada, who absorbs each new revelation implacably, hoping but usually failing to make sense of it. Murakami is utterly at ease with multiple subjects, genres, and styles surrealism, deadpan comedy, military history, detective fiction, love story. His canvas is as broad as twentieth-century Japan, his brush strokes imbued with the lines and colors of American pop culture. Oddly, it all holds together on the stoic shoulders of Toru Okada and his single-minded determination to reclaim the woman he loves no matter how absurd the world around her becomes. In the scary but never boring vastness of this novel, it's nice to find one buoy on the horizon we recognize." Booklist
"The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is a wildly ambitious book that not only recapitulates the themes, motifs, and preoccupations of [Murakami's] earlier work, but also aspires to invest that material with weighty mythic and historical significance. But...he is only intermittently successful. Wind-Up Bird has some powerful scenes of antic comedy and some shattering scenes of historical power, but such moments do not add up to a satisfying, fully fashioned novel. In trying to depict a fragmented, chaotic, and ultimately unknowable world, Murakami has written a fragmentary and chaotic book....Wind-Up Bird often seems so messy that its refusal of closure feels less like an artistic choice than simple laziness, a reluctance on the part of the author to run his manuscript through the typewriter (or computer) one last time." Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times
"[A] big, ambitious book clearly intended to establish Murakami as a major figure in world literature....The new book almost self-consciously deals with a wide spectrum of heavy subjects....[It] marks a significant advance in Murakami's art....Murakami has written a bold and generous book, and one that would have lost a great deal by being tidied up." Jamie James, The New York Times Book Review
"Dreamlike and compelling....Murakami is a genius." Chicago Tribune
"This very long journey is much less magical than simply strained. There are detours into the history of Japan's occupation of Manchuria and accounts of Japanese prisoners' lives in Siberian coal mines. Though interesting in parts, taken as a whole, this latest from Murakami labors diligently toward some larger message but fails in the attempt." Library Journal
"Murakami's most ambitious work to date....Ingeniously, Murakami links history to a detective story that uses a mannered realism and metaphysical speculation to catapult the narrator into the surreal place where mysteries are solved and evil is confronted." Publishers Weekly
"Murakami is that unusual creature, a metaphysical novelist with a warm, down-to-earth voice and a knack for creating credible characters and spinning a lively yarn....From the beginning, The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle has the easy authority of the work of a natural-born storyteller, and each eccentric character and odd development only adds to the anticipation that Murakami will tie it all up in a satisfying resolution....The first 600 pages of The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle offer much unadulterated reading pleasure, and it's only as the remaining pages grow ominously sparse that the proverbial sinking feeling sets in....Murakami can't, in the end, gather all his novel's intriguing subplots and mysterious minor characters together convincingly, and he summarily drops whole handfuls of loose ends. Like the mark in a brilliant con game, I closed The Wind-up Bird Chronicle feeling somewhat bereft, but still so dazzled by Murakami's skill that I couldn't quite regret having come along for the ride." Laura Miller, Salon.com
"Murakami lets the narrative lines, so carefully laid, snap; you're suspended midair, your tender attentions scattered to the winds.... Murakami's story ran away with him. Too little too late, his impulse to tidy resolution testifies more to his discomfort with an expanded canvas than to his plug-and-socket skills." Lakshmi Gopalkrishnan, Slate
"Whether his target is Japan or the world, Mr. Murakami's work sums up a bad century and envisions an uncertain future....The novel is a deliberately confusing, illogical image of a confusing, illogical world. It is not easy reading, but it is never less than absorbing." Phoebe-Lou Adams, The Atlantic Monthly

SACKETS HARBOR As walkers descend on the village on New Years Day to take part in the national First Day Hikes program, they will have an opportunity to travel on completed portions of its new War of 1812 Bicentennial Trail.
David W. Altieri, the villages heritage area director, said the idea of being a part of the program arose after Constance B. Barone, Sackets Harbor Battlefield State Historic Site manager, was called by a representative from the state Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation. He said the idea took little planning and manpower to pull off.
There was no reason for us not to do it, he said. Mr. Altieri said the walk could help boost interest among walkers going into the new year.
About two of the trails approximately 3.6 miles have been completed, with the rest to be finished when weather allows crews to work on the trail. In addition to finishing the trail paths, crews still have to install adjacent sidewalks and bollards.
Theres still work to be done, but the part thats been constructed has gone really well, Mr. Altieri said.
He said he had received several compliments about the trail from people who already had walked completed sections.
The bicentennial trail was constructed with $495,000 in federal stimulus funding. However, the village ended up shouldering an additional $67,000 in costs for the project, which was linked to more expensive construction materials required with the grant, along with administrative costs of $212,000 from contractor Lu Engineers, Pittsford. Organizers, including Mr. Altieri, received criticism when the costs were discussed by the village Board of Trustees in August.
Those interested in walking the bicentennial trail can meet at 11 a.m. at the villages visitors center, 301 W. Main St.
Also on Tuesday, people will be able to walk trails at the Robert G. Wehle State Park, Henderson, starting at 10 a.m. Trails at Wellesley Island State Park and its Minna Anthony Common Nature Center will open at 2 p.m.

Lipscomb (30-16)

Tuesday, April 24, 2012
Attack. Attack. Attack.
Coach Kristin Ryman sounded more like a football coach than a softball coach Tuesday night, but that was one of the points she wanted her Lady Bisons to remember after falling 4-0 and 3-0 to the UAB Blazers at Draper Diamond.
"We have to get back to an attack mode," Ryman said. "We have to execute the little things.
"We like who is where in the lineup. We have a good lineup but we are not stringing a lot of hits together. That makes it tough to score against good teams."
It marked the first time that the Lady Bisons had been shut down in both ends of a doubleheader at home since April 16, 2003 when MTSU was the foe. The last time they were shut out in a doubleheader was April 7, 2006 at North Florida.
The Lady Bisons are 30-16. UAB is 32-17.
"They have a good team and I think we have a very good team," Ryman said. "I think these games down to doing the little things. They had an approach about them that I think was different than we did.
"UAB executed the little things. They got every bunt down. They moved runners. They made plays when they needed to. They pitched well. They advanced runners with ground balls when they needed to."
Right-hander Whitney Kiihnl threw seven innings in game one and took a shutout into the seventh. She gave up a single to center to Mandy Lowman to start off the inning. She then walked Kristen McGrath. Lauren Webster was out on a sacrifice bunt, but Kiihnl walked pinch-hitter Megan McGrath to load the bases. Issa Brown came in to pinch hit and blasted a grand slam over the fence in right center.
Kiihnl, 21-10, scattered five hits while walking three and striking out four. Amber Torres won for UAB on a four-hitter. Kelsey Cartwright led the Lady Bisons with two hits.
In game two UAB struck for two runs in the first inning and they wouldn't need any more. Left-hander Ashley Anderson went the distance for the Lady Bisons, shutting down the Blazers until they added one more run in the seventh.
Anderson, 9-6, allowed 10 hits. Kayla Orr and Kate Armstrong each had a double. She struck out three and walked three. Only one of the runs she gave up was earned.
"Ashley gave up a lot of bloop kind of hits and balls that just kind of found their way between the infield and outfield," Ryman said. "Later in the game UAB started hitting a little bit harder.
"But Ashley kept us in the game. We struggled to get anything going offensively. We have to have an offensive mindset. We can't get on our heels and take four innings to figure things out."
UAB's Leigh Streetman threw a three-hitter. Caroline Mason, Haley Elliott and Rena' Cothron each had a single for the Lady Bisons.
The Lady Bisons are on the road Wednesday night in Bowling Green to play a doubleheader with Western Kentucky. The first game starts at 5.
"This team needs to know that we are good," Ryman said. "We need to come out with just as much swagger as the other team and really go out and get the win instead of getting into a defensive mode.
"We have to go and get wins. We are going to play a good team Wednesday. People aren't going to hand them to us. We have to learn from these games and get the most out of them."

Students agreed it would be a good idea to show appreciation for the sacrifice soliders' familiies are making.
USU Eastern Cosmetology students spent Saturday, March 23, treating the spouses of the 624th FRG National Guard Unit to a special spa day. Their husbands were deployed on June 13, 2012, and scheduled to return the end of April.
According to Jessica Keller, instructor, students gave manicures, pedicures and paraffin wax treatments to all the women plus certificates to return for a hair cut during the college's regular work week. They also provided snacks and drinks to make the group's experience special.
Keller said it was inspiring to talk to the women whose husbands have been gone for almost 10 months. Babies were born, newborns reached their first birthdays while the older children had the hardest time missing their dads fighting in Afghanistan. They understand what is happening in their dads' world.
"This [spa day] was a little event to provide service to the women. They have given up so much for the cost of freedom," Keller said.
The idea to "pamper" the wives came from Jennifer Tatton whose husband has been in the military 18 years. "We are a military family and we need to talk to others who are the same situation. It has been the hardest part of my life to be without my husband.
"I found that I have grown a lot throughout the past 10 months, it has been a good experience and found strength where I did not think I could."
The Price unit has 35 soldiers deployed and the married wives have joined the group for their monthly activities. If the soldier is single, his mother is invited to attend so they feel a part of our family, she added.
Tatton says they have sponsored an activity every month including going to Lagoon with their families, a craft night and even a yoga night.
She felt the best one thus far was the spa day because the wives felt relaxed, pampered and excited to be treated so nice. "I wish we had 12-spa days each year, because we could have all used them."
She came up with the spa-day idea and talked to cosmetology instructor Debbie Prichard to ask if her ladies could get a discount on the school's services. Prichard offered to have her students come in on a Saturday afternoon and provide the services free of charge. "Everyone appreciates what these wonderful men are doing for this country and the women they left behind," she said.

The race was all the more challenging thanks to white-out conditions. Fortunately, each team was equipped with a Suunto Ambit, allowing them to rely on accurate altimeter and GPS readings for navigation.
Day 1 saw the teams cover 26km from the Ödensee to the Krippenstein lodge. Among the competitors was Suunto Ambassador Kilian Jornet, who paired up with paraglider pilot Paul Guschlbauer and mountain biker Richard Zinthauer.
Guschlbauer's knowledge of the area from his experience competing in the Red Bull X-Alps, which passes the Dachstein, gave the team a much-needed edge in the zero visibility.
"We were navigating via GPS through an area of mixed climb and descent – but we couldn't even see if the next snow drift went up or down!" he said. "Kilian carefully proceeded ahead, and every five meters I would have him go left or right."
When organizers called an early end to the race at 11 AM on the second day, it was a bitter-sweet success for Jornet and team, who were awarded a second-place finish behind a Canadian/USA team.
"It was an awesome day with some nice mixed climbs and steep downhill," Jornet said afterwards.

Thousands of Kurds from all over Europe are gathered in Paris today for what is expected to be an angry protest over the killing of three female activists shot dead at least three times in the head, giving further credence to the theory of an execution-style hit. Kurdish activists have accused Turkey or rogue nationalist elements in the country's military of being behind the killings.

What travelers to Oxford are saying
Oxford Rundown
Oxford is the UK's oldest university city, even older than its arch rival Cambridge, and in the words of Miss Jean Brodie, home to the crème de la crème. The city is rampant with 'Dreaming Spires', medieval churches and golden sandstone college buildings, but as well as being a bastion of the establishment and all things traditional, Oxford is a hub of light industry and technology. The student population is big but doesn't totally dominate the city, which is always busy with office workers and tourists.
The University of Oxford was founded in the 12th Century and boasts 40 colleges and buildings, including the famous Bodleian Library, which is just a tad smaller than the British Library, and world class museums including the Ashmmolean, the UK's oldest public museum. You almost feel as if you know the place when you arrive, Oxford's magnificent Gothic facades having been a feature in many films – Christ Church, in particular has featured in Brideshead Revisited and the Harry Potter films. Christ's' college chapel is Oxford Cathedral, the smallest cathedral in the UK.
Oxford's Top 10
10. The Oxford Playhouse is where high brow productions are staged.
5. Oxford Castle Unlocked Visit a medieval motte and bailey, and listen to grisly tales from an 11th Century crypt.
9. The New Theatre is rife with ageing rock stars and blockbuster theatrical productions.
4. Balliol College Founded in 1263 and thought to be the oldest in Oxford.
8. OK they may seem a bit naff but the City Sightseeing Hop-on Hop-Off buses are a great way to take in all the sights in Oxford.
3. The Old Library Where JRR Tolkien spent hours writing Lord of the Rings. TS Eliot also hung out in this 13th Century building.
7. Have a Drink to Chief Inspector Morse at the tiny White Horse public house. It was the TV detective's favourite haunt.
2. Magdalen College Pronounced 'Maud-lin' to those in the know. Now you know too.
6. Carry on up the Isis on a cruise along the Oxford part of the Thames, passing college boathouses and riverside pubs on the way.
1. The University Museum of Natural History – includes a dodo skeleton, and shrunken heads from the Caribbean! Unmissable.
Oxford Events
Eights Week features four days of racing on the Isis (as the Thames is known in Oxford). Head down to cheer on the rowers during June.
Oxford Castle Flower & Gardening Festival is free and full to the brim with workshops, demos, and floral surprises in June.
Summer Music in the Ampitheatre is a concert of classical music and chance for a picnic in the ornamental gardens at Waterperry, Oxford, in late June.
July sees the famous London to Oxford Bike Ride, a 60 mile race which takes place at the beginning of July.
Oxford Bike Week brings cycling enthusiasts galore to the city for Bikers' breakfasts, Bike Doctor sessions and lots more, at the end of June, with various meeting places.
The Oxford Moonlight Stroll starts at St Edward's School before heading into Oxford's centre, taking in all the landmark attractions on the way. Takes place in July for charity.
The Cowley Road Carnival is a summer highlight in Oxford, and one of the biggest community events in the SE of England. There will be music, stalls, processions and family activities at South Park during July.
The Out to Graze Festival is a weekend of music featuring reggae, funk, D'n'B, House, Hip Hop – basically there's something for everyone, at this Oxford July event.
Truck Festival takes place in late July at Hill Farm just outside Oxford. This is one of the best independent small festivals in the UK (now in its 134th year!). Think Woodstock meets village fete.
Oxford Castle Food & Wine Festival Celebrate what keeps us alive (well the food bit anyway) in September.
When To Go
Oxford has a mild, maritime climate throughout the year, with no real highs and lows.
Temperatures in summer range from around 10-22 °C, but there is the occasional long hot summer. In winter expect to see temperatures of 1°C with temps during a really cold spell dropping below zero.
Oxford experiences the same amount of rainfall in general, as the rest of the UK with showers a possibility any day of the year. Pack plenty of waterproofs just in case.
Getting There
London Heathrow and Gatwick are linked to Oxford by The Airline Coach Company, a service which runs 24/7. The fares are very reasonable, at just £19 for a return ticket from Heathrow.
Trains run from London Paddington every half hour at a cost of £20 one way, and journey time of an hour. Cheaper tickets can be obtained if you book well in advance.
Oxford is close to the M40 and M25 (or highway to hell if you prefer), but if you're driving be aware that parking in Oxford is a nightmare and very expensive.
General Information
The home of the venerable University of Oxford, one of the most important academic institutions in the world, is a terrific town, with many wonderful points of interest to discover. The town of 150,000 people in South East England is less than 100 km from London but feels resolutely distinct from the vast metropolis that is the capital city. Most points of interest in Oxford center of course, on the historic university. With roots that extend back to the 10th century, the campus is peerless when it comes to vital museums, collections and pristine period architecture. Worthwhile landmarks in association with the university include the Radcliffe Camera, Ashmolean Museum, Pitt Rivers Museum and Museum of the History of Science. The heart of Oxford is the wonderful, if not diminutive, City Centre. A perfect location for pedestrians, a trip to the top of Carfax Tower for superb views of the city is a must.
Oxford has a maritime temperate climate, with mild conditions throughout the year.
- Winter (December to February) 1-7°C

According to European Commission documents released Tuesday by WikiLeaks, two high-ranking U.S. politicians are responsible, at least in part, for a financial blockade that the organization claims has cut off 95 percent of its revenue. Those politicians are Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-Conn.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), both of whom pressured MasterCard, and possibly Visa, into refusing to process payments to WikiLeaks, the documents reveal. MasterCard and Visa together control 97 percent of European Union (EU) card transactions.
There is no question that WikiLeaks is a thorn in the side of the U.S. government, revealing, in gory detail, how its world-girdling empire really operates. Nevertheless, the United States has never charged WikiLeaks or any of its staffers with a crime, and neither has any other country. Thus, there can be no justification for U.S. or foreign officials to engage in an extralegal campaign against the group; but that is exactly what they are doing.
"WikiLeaks," writes the Guardian's Glenn Greenwald, "has been crippled by a staggering array of extra-judicial punishment imposed either directly by the U.S. and allied governments or with their clear acquiescence."
Shortly after the group's 2010 release of U.S. diplomatic cables, it was hit with massive cyber attacks. Lieberman, then the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, publicly and privately — and successfully — leaned on Amazon.com to terminate its hosting services to WikiLeaks. The cyber attacks continued, and the group was forced off all U.S. web hosting services. The U.S. government responded to these clearly criminal acts with indifference.
"Meanwhile," Greenwald adds, "Chairman Lieberman's public pressure, by design, also led to the destruction of WikiLeaks' ability to collect funds from supporters. Master Card and Visa both announced they would refuse to process payments to the group, as did America's largest financial institution, Bank of America. Paypal not only did the same but froze all funds already in WikiLeaks' accounts."

We have to tip our hat to singer/designer Gwen Stefani and the outfit she assembled for an outing in London early last month. The trend-focused look, which consisted of Michael Kors' Ikat Windowpane Duchess Shell ($1195) and matching Skinny Samantha Pants ($1295, 866.709.KORS), Holmes and Yang's Leather Back Cape ($1859), Yohji Yamamoto men's peaked military-style hat from F/W 12, and Christian Louboutin's Pigalle 85 Patent-Leather Pumps ($625), is a shining example of how to style the season's matching prints. Want to know Why It Works? We break it all down with a closer look at each important element below.
Cape: Look for solid-colored outerwear with clean lines. A minimal cape jacket tempers a busy print and adds instant polish to your ensemble.
Similar Essentials: Marni Silk and Wool-Blend Twill Cape ($1330); Max Studio Single Breasted Cape Coat ($398); Mango Snap Button Epaulettes Cape ($150).
Matching Prints: When working with matching graphic prints, it's imperative that you stick to simple silhouettes. Classic, fitted cuts will not detract from the pattern, plus they ensure that the overall look is sophisticated.
Similar Essentials: Marni Sequence Grid Top ($448) and Printed Wool-Blend Pants ($665); Tibi Paloma Shirt ($330) and Paloma Pants ($345); Topshop Shadow Lace Print Corset ($60) and Skinny Trousers ($80).
Peaked Cap: Head-to-toe prints are inherently playful, so add some gravitas to your look with a structured, military-inspired hat. It's authoritative and smart-two qualities that are exemplified throughout the entire outfit.
Similar Essentials: Burberry Smoked Check Military Wool Tide Flat Cap ($375); Eugenia Kim Marina Captain's Cap ($199); Brixton's Wyatt Train Conductor Hat ($34).
Heels: Sleek, pointed-toe pumps complement the ensemble's streamlined silhouettes and introduce a subversively sexy element to the daytime outfit.
Similar Essentials: Jimmy Choo Agnes Pumps ($525); Boutique 9 Justine Patent Leather Pumps ($120); Aldo Romelia Heels ($80).
Beauty: Finish your look with a bright red lip. The striking hue adds just the right amount of color to a mix of black and white.
Similar Essential: L'Oreal Infallible Le Rouge Lipcolor ($10) in Ravishing Red.--Jessica Baker

Oops, I think I forgot something. :
I'm going to have to start a funny article of the day thread if they keep coming up with ideas like this. ;D
This Wired News article definitely wins the award today. :
License PC Users? It's a Thought
Quote from the article:
" But aggravated techies have been tossing around the idea that everyone should learn some basic computer competence skills -- and prove it by getting a license -- before their computer gets connected to the rest of the world's computers."
Jim H
Oops, I think I forgot something. :
Should be a 14 day waiting period on all computer purchases while background checks are done.All $299.00 Saturday night special computers should be banned.No computer shall have more than 6 expansion slots since any more would make it high capacity and possibly an Assualt Computer.All users should take a computer safety course to learn basic skills such as turning on and shuting down and teach users never to point their monitors at anyone who does not intend to look at it.A short test with the game of pong should be given to all users with a passing score to be determined at a later date.Just to darn many computers out there in the hands of criminals and crazies.They are too easy to get and should be regulated. ;D ;D
There should also be a fine for pounding a mouse on a desktop to "make it work better". Although, I wouldn't have a job if there weren't so many slugs out there. ;D
Hey the mouse thing works!!! hahah..well maybe not, but no fine...I would have been head deep in debt if there were, atleast when I was playing counterstrike all the time!
If you give a man a fire he'll be warm, if you light the man on fire he'll be warm for life.

A two-vehicle accident Tuesday morning in the town of Orleans could have had a much different outcome if it weren't for the quick action of four men.
Kory M. Keefer, a city of Watertown employee who lives on Route 180 in Stone Mills, was at home getting ready for work about 7:30 a.m. when he heard a loud crash outside.
Two vehicles had collided and one had rolled over into a ditch across from Mr. Keefer's house near the Stone Mills Agricultural Museum.
The crash was witnessed by three state Department of Transportation employees on their way to a tree-trimming job. They stopped to help out. One of the men, Cole A. Paradise, dialed 911 immediately.
The car that had landed in the ditch started to smoke. Flames were visible around the hood.
The driver, an as-yet-unidentified woman alone in the car, was trapped inside the vehicle and appeared unresponsive.
Thinking fast, Mr. Paradise and his two co-workers went to work. Mr. Paradise grabbed a fire extinguisher from the truck and handed it to his co-worker, who started spraying down the engine compartment. Realizing they had to get the woman out of the car, Mr. Paradise ran back to the truck to look for something heavy enough to shatter auto glass. He looked around for a hammer before settling on a tongue jack mounted on the wood-chipper they were hauling.
"Close your eyes and cover your ears," Mr. Paradise said they told the woman. "We're going to get you out through the rear window."
One of the men smashed the glass with the jack and the DOT employees pulled the woman out, assisted by Mr. Keefer, who had rushed out of his house to help, bringing his home fire extinguisher with him.
A short time later, an ambulance arrived, followed by the state police and Jefferson County sheriff's deputies.
Mr. Paradise is a little hazy on the timeline, for good reason.
"In a situation like that, your adrenaline's pumping" he said. He wasn't keeping track of the play-by-play.
The woman reported no injuries and refused medical treatment at the scene. The other driver was not hurt.
The DOT employees stayed around to help clean up debris and answer questions. Mr. Keefer said he got out of the way to let the police do their jobs. He finished getting ready and went to work.
"The highway guys really saved the day. I'm just glad I could help," Mr. Keefer said.
"We got the fire out and got her out of the car. That was pretty much it," Mr. Paradise said.
State police — the first law enforcement agency on the scene — described the incident simply as a "property damage" accident in their report. No other information was available Thursday afternoon, but police said an investigation continued.
The other two men involved at the scene declined to be interviewed, not wishing to call unnecessary attention to what Mr. Paradise described as an act of common decency.
DOT supervising engineer Matthew P. Bush described the three employees as "pretty modest guys."
Mr. Paradise said he was reluctant to be interviewed as well but got "talked into it."
"We didn't do it to be heroes; we did it because it had to be done," he said. "I hope that somebody else would do it if they were in the same situation."

Lawyer by day, t-shirt designer by night. Strange but true, it took an attorney with no fashion experience to create the world's perfect t-shirt, the Splendid shirt. In 1992, Moise Emquies was a law school graduate waiting for the results of his California bar exam when his friend invited him to pass the time by designing a t-shirt for her clothing store. He threw himself into the project, finding the best quality fabric that he could and his first design quickly sold out. In the meantime he landed his first job at a law firm but the success of his first foray into fashion left Emquies curious about the possibilities of designing for a living. Emquies began designing more and more t-shirts for his friend's boutique until 2002 when he launched Splendid clothing. Splendid is the culmination of Emquies' tireless search to find the softest fabric and most color absorbing yarns in the world in order to create the ultimate t-shirt.
Splendid tops are clean, simple, and effortless; everything you need in a tee. Great for both casual or lounge wear, these pieces are not only made from the softest materials but they are designed with simple colors and styles that make them easy to style. Throw on a statement necklace for an extra pop of color or pair these tees with a yoga pant and spend your day lounging in style. For an easy go-to day to night outfit, try out one of the Splendid dresses like the Tank Maxi Dress in Black/Heather. These comfortable styles have become popular with celebrities like Jessica Alba, Jennifer Anniston, Sarah Jessica Parker, and Eva Longoria. Look for a Splendid sale today to stock up on all your t-shirt needs!

Whenever we traveled, all five climbed in the car. You had to hold the door until the imaginary kids all got in or the real child would shout frantically. It was cute ... the first few dozen times.

WASHINGTON 2 ISLANDERS 1: Late goal, Ovechkin's highlight OT tally result in fourth loss in a row
9:50 pm: Just as you're about to sit down to write about a possible Islanders shutout, Alexander Ovechkin paints a masterpiece.
In his spectacular overtime goal that gave the Capitals a 2-1 win tonight, it must be pointed out that it was Frans Nielsen that Ovechkin turned inside out twice. This is not a knock on Nielsen, far from it. Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to an extraordinary talent.
Otherwise, this was one of those affairs that prove why you do not bet on NHL games. It's not because the Islanders were leading for more than 59 minutes and pulled out a point against a top team on the road, mind you. Jack Capuano's team has played well since the All-Star break and is having fun with the role of the spoiler. The Capitals were shut out in their last home game as well, and are down a full goal per game from last season.
Nathan Lawson shook off the rust and played superbly. Somewhat improbably, the Capitals missed on two dunk shots in the third period. The home team game operations staff was so surprised by the second one, with around eight minutes left in regulation, that they sounded the goal horn.
The Capitals out-shot the Islanders, 42-29, but the visitors created more scoring chances in the third period. Do not discount Michael Neuvirth's outstanding performance in the Washington net.
The biggest disappointment for the Islanders came on Brooks Laich's game-tying goal with 48 seconds left in regulation and Neuvirth pulled for an extra attacker. Michael Grabner had time and enough space along the boards, ten feet inside the Washington blue line, to clear the puck. Grabner took the long way to make the play, and he and the Islanders paid for it.
Kudos to Lawson. Also to Matt Moulson, who scored his 28th goal of the season. All in all, a decent effort as the Islanders lost their fourth game in a row to remain in 14th place, 14 points out of eighth place in the Eastern Conference. It was a wild route to get there – capped off by Ovechkin's magnificent one-man goal – but the Islanders probably got what they deserved: one point.
The Islanders are now home for five straight games, including four against teams currently out of a playoff position.
Comments on tonight's game are welcomed. More tomorrow.

TUSD Board expected its 3-hour meeting to get crazy
Reporter: Valerie Cavazos
TUCSON (KGUN9-TV) -- "We expected the meeting to get a little crazy and it did."
TUSD board president Dr. Mark Stegeman expected outrage from the public as the board voted on MAS director Sean Arce's contract. He said the board decided in advance to extend the audience call to three hours.
"I personally have a strong view about free speech. I think it's important for people to have a chance to express themselves in a meeting. We agreed to have a long call to the audience to give people a chance to express themselves -- give them a chance to speak. I did not want to regulate that speech too much," he said.
So more verbal latitude was given to the public -- and a few times he said he was about ready to cut off the mic.
"Our goals were to get through the business of the board, which didn't happen April 26th of last year so we didn't want that to repeat," he said.
At one point, Stegeman says the board left the meeting to decide whether to clear the room so they could get down to business. "We had the option to try to move everyone out. We took the option to minimize the chances of anyone getting hurt as long as we get through the business. And we did. Our goal was to make sure no one got hurt."
But one thing stegeman says he didn't expect -- that smoke bomb that was hurled into the crowd. "I didn't expect the smoke bombs specifically, but we expected something to happen right after we adjourned the meeting. That's a bad thing. I think it's illegal. Security is working on that to find that person."
