SAN LUIS OBISPO, Calif. (MarketWatch) — Yes, X-Prize billionaires are failing their mission: "Making the Impossible Possible." Now they need at least $10 trillion to save the world, and a far grander vision, the new "10X-Prizes."
And their leader, Dr. Peter Diamandis, the co-author of "Abundance: The Future is Better Than You Think," the CEO driving today's X-Prize Foundation ("Making the Impossible Possible") and also the Chairman of Singularity University ("Solving Humanities Grand Challenges With Accelerating Technologies"), must step up his game.
Today's X-Prize winners resemble slow-moving dinosaurs when you think of the accelerating challenges facing the real world of the coming generation. At best, the top four X-Prizes are feel-good ego trips for billionaires: Branson's space tourism airplane? Another low-emissions electric car? New lunar lander? Another oil spill clean-up system?
They get big press. But they're marginal. Not big enough to save the world from itself and the catastrophes dead ahead.
Forget the X-Prizes, what our world needs is a newer, bigger, faster 10X-Prize to tackle the real challenges. And we must start immediately, time's short. Clive Hamilton, a professor of economics and public ethics at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics in Canberra, Australia, details the challenge in his "Requiem for a Species: Why We Resist the Truth about Climate Change." He says we're our own worse enemy:
"Even with the most optimistic set of assumptions — the ending of deforestation, a halving of emissions associated with food production, global emissions peaking in 2020 and then falling by 3% a year for a few decades — we have no chance of preventing emissions rising well above a number of critical tipping points that will spark uncontrollable climate change." Game over?
Yes, 'the future is better than you think' ... if you're in denial
Hamilton warns: "The Earth's climate would enter a chaotic era lasting thousands of years before natural processes eventually establish some sort of equilibrium. Whether human beings would still be a force on the planet, or even survive, is a moot point. One thing seems certain: there will be far fewer of us."
No wonder most humans are in denial, including existing X-Prize sponsors and Singularity grads, because in denial or not global population keeps marching relentlessly from today's 7 billion to the UN's predicted 10 billion by 2050.
Get it? Today's X-Prize is not big enough to "save the world." But a new 10X-Prize might use a totally integrated model to accelerate the tasks. For several years we've been working with a model for innovation and investing based on the 12-part formula in Jared Diamond's "Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed," 12 macroeconomic sectors that throughout history have explained why civilizations survive or self-destruct.
Diamond warns that as global population and lifestyle demands increase, "more people require more food, space, water, energy, and other resources." And that triggers more wars, famine, pandemics, no-growth economics and political miscalculations.
The pressure builds as all nations begin consuming resources at same rate as America, 32 times more resources, dumping 32 times more waste. We'd need six Earths to survive.
So let's look to the future and see how Diamond's 12 macrotrends model might help us build a sustainable planet for 10 billion people, by setting in motion the new 10X-Prizes before 2020.
Goal No. 1: 10X-Prize for Abundant Global Water Systems
Essential to life: drinking, industry, agriculture, transportation. Water is more valuable than fuel for many. Fortune says "Water is the new gold in the 21st century," generated over a half trillion dollars revenue in 2010, will soon "trade like oil futures." Already, one billion "lack access to clean drinking water" across the planet. We need massive water innovations: in purification, desalination, bottled water. New strategies like Matt Damon's Water.org and Richard Branson's Carbon War Room, increased tenfold.
Goal No. 2: 10X-Prize for Abundant World Food Production
"If you want to become rich, become a farmer," says Jim Rogers, in "Hot Commodities." Yet a billion farmers live on two dollars a day. Most are subsistence farmers. Half are underfed. Jeremy Grantham manages $100 billion, warns the planet can't feed 10 billion. Incentivize Rogers, Grantham, Cargill, Monsanto and others in a bold plan to innovate solutions for $10 trillion in private investments. This challenge is bigger more essential than Kennedy's moon shot and the Marshall Plan,.

Read: We Are Still Ways Away From The Season Being Cancelled
In the NY Post, Mark Everson writes that the doom and gloom of the NHL not having a season is a little unfounded considering when the 1994-95 season was saved (January) and the 2004-05 season was cancelled (February).
Sidney Crosby said in an interview, via Deadspin, that he thinks a 60 game season would be fair "There are teams that struggle and that gives you a chance to go through a tough point in the season and still have time to kinda gather yourself. So that's a length that I'm sure everyone could live with, but I'm sure that we'd all be much happier playing much more than that."
Elliotte Friedman writes that the season isn't in danger but that if games aren't being played by December 1, and that some people in the league fear that the hardline owners will retake control of the process and ask for more from the players.
In the NY Times, Jeff Klein writes that the 1994-95 lockout was settled after 11 days of bargaining, the last three of which didn't include Gary Bettman or Bob Goodenow.
Klein writes that the 04-05 lockout was settled after the two sides met for 30 days in May and June and then 10 straight days in July followed by an all-night session at the league office before the two sides agreed.

After taking the trip north to take on Otero Junior College Lady Rattlers in a two game series on Wednesday, the Frank Phillips College Lady Plainsmen and the Rattlers faced off once again on Thursday in a two-game series here in Borger.
On Wednesday, the two teams would split the series and on Thursday the teams saw the same result as the Lady Plainsmen won game one, 6-5 while Otero came out on top in game two, 6-5.
Lady Plainsmen sophomore pitcher Kiana Levy did a good job on the mound in game one, giving up just five runs on seven hits while striking out six Lady Rattler batters.
Neither team had much going at the plate until the bottom of the third inning when Rachelle Vazquez brought in Nikki Moreno on a RBI double followed by Kristi Michaud hitting a RBI single to bring in Vasquez to make it a 2-0 game.
The Lady Plainsmen expanded their lead in the fourth inning, beginning with a homerun by freshman Arleen Alamanza along with RBI hits by Vazquez and Janelle Smith to extend their lead to 6-0.
In the top of the fifth inning, the Lady Rattlers battled back with four straight hits that led to Otero bringing in five runs to get back into the game with the score 6-5.
The Lady Plainsmen failed to add any additional runs.
However, Levy and the Lady Plainsmen defense did a great job in the final two innings to hang on for the one run win.
The Lady Plainsmen go to 6-13 for the season and will next travel to Altus, Okla. on Tuesday to take on Western Oklahoma College in a two-game series before returning to Borger next Friday to host Midland College in a WJCAC doubleheader starting at 1:00 p.m.

City officials hope to obtain a $5 million grant to pay for overhauling Watertowns wastewater treatment plant to turn its sludge into methane gas.
Last week, Water Superintendent Michael J. Sligar met with New York State Energy Research and Development Authority officials to talk about the progress of the $7 million to $8 million project.
Using a $586,000 NYSERDA grant, the city hopes to complete the pre-design work by years end and begin the final design stage next spring. If all goes well, construction could start later next year.
In December, the city received the $586,000 grant to decommission the sludge incinerator at its pollution control plant and replace it with an expanded anaerobic digester and microturbine that will produce alternative energy on site.
Plans call for retiring the plants sludge incinerator process, producing a Class A bio-solid for land disposal and maximizing methane gas production. It would get rid of 45,000 wet tons of sludge a year and instead produce 65,000 cubic feet of digest and methane gas a day.
It also would save $250,000 annually in electricity and fuel costs by transforming the wastewater treatment plant and reducing 335 carbon metric tons in greenhouse gases a year.
Thats a big deal, Mr. Sligar said.
Mr. Sligar said NYSERDA seems to be on board with the project after last weeks discussion. In August, the city applied for a maximum of a $5 million grant from the state agency that would go toward the project. The city needs to contribute 25 percent of the cost, but Mr. Sligars department continues to look for other funding sources, he said.
The city should hear in December whether the $5 million NYSERDA grant application is successful.
The project has become a campaign issue, with Councilman Jeffrey M. Smith bringing it up in his re-election bid as one of the citys accomplishments while he has been in office.

NEWS: Rangers Officially Buy Out Chris Drury
The Rangers have announced that they have officially bought out Chris Drury.
Glen Sather said :
"Chris is a consummate professional, a tremendous competitor and an even better person," stated Sather. "He gave his heart and soul to the Rangers organization in his time here and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."
The Rangers will save $3.3 million in cap space for this season by buying Drury out. They will have a cap hit of $3.7 million this season and $1.6 million next season from the buyout.
It is now official. Drury is no longer Rangers property and the team will have a new captain starting next season. I loved Drury as a player and thought he brought everything he had to the ice every night. His contract painted him unfairly in the eyes of many and it just became too much to carry a player with a bad knee and a bloated cap hit to play on the fourth line.
Update: 5:11PM:
"It was a great honor and privilege to be a New York Ranger for the past four years, and I will always be grateful for the opportunity to fulfill that childhood dream," Drury said in a statement that was sent to The Post by e-mail. "The Rangers are a first-class organization with great people in the hockey, public relations, team services and community relations departments.
"I would also like to thank Ranger fans. They always inspired me to do the best I could in whatever role I was asked to play. Playing before them in the Garden was a thrill of a lifetime. I wish all the fans and the entire Ranger organization the best of luck in the future."
Original Post: 4:35AM
According to Larry Brooks in the NY Post, the Rangers will buy out the final year of Chris Drury's contract today.
The Rangers will save $3.3 million in cap space for this season by buying Drury out. They will have a cap hit of $3.7 million this season and $1.6 million next season from the buyout.
Brooks says that Drury intends to continue his career and could return to Buffalo.
Drury did not have to go on unconditional waivers before being bought out because he has a no-movement clause.
So the Chris Drury era finally ends today. I wish him the best of luck as he tries to continue his career. If he is healthy, he could be a nice addition to a young team in a bottom six role.

Update: 10:45AM:
Cap Geek says that the Rangers have $25 million in cap space. That number doesn't count Wade Redden's salary.
Update: 1:02PM:
According to Steve Zipay, the team won't officially announce the news on Drury for a few hours.
New York, June 29, 2011 – New York Rangers President and General Manager Glen Sather announced today that the club has bought out the contract of forward Chris Drury.
"Chris is a consummate professional, a tremendous competitor and an even better person," stated Sather. "He gave his heart and soul to the Rangers organization in his time here and we wish him the best in his future endeavors."
In four seasons as a Ranger, Drury registered 62 goals and 89 assists for 151 points, along with 116 penalty minutes in 264 games. He made his debut with the team on October 4, 2007, tallying the game-winning goal and adding two assists vs. Florida in the season opener. That season, he led the Blueshirts in power play goals (12) and game-winning goals (seven), tied for the team lead in goals (25), and ranked third in assists (33) and points (58). Drury led the team in power play goals (10) for a second consecutive season in 2008-09, en route to capturing his first of two Players' Player Awards (2008-09, 2009-10).
Drury, 34, is a Stanley Cup Champion and the only player in hockey history to win both the Hobey Baker Memorial Award as the top collegiate hockey player and the Calder Memorial Trophy as the NHL's rookie of the year. The three-time Olympian, and two-time Olympic silver medalist with Team USA, was the winning pitcher for Trumbull, Connecticut in the 1989 Little League World Series vs. Taiwan. He has served as Rangers' captain for the last three seasons, having been named the 25th captain in franchise history on October 3, 2008.
In 2009-10, Drury led all NHL forwards in blocked shots (97) and was nominated for the Bill Masterton Memorial Trophy by the NY chapter of the Professional Hockey Writers' Association (PHWA), awarded annually to "the NHL player who best exemplifies the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey." That season, he recorded his 250th career NHL goal and 600th career NHL point with an empty net goal on February 14 vs. Tampa Bay, and skated in his 800th career NHL game on October 19 vs. San Jose. Last season, Drury missed a total of 57 games due to injury.
Prior to joining the Rangers, Drury skated for three seasons with the Buffalo Sabres, serving as team co-captain from 2005-06 to 2006-07. He reached the 30-goal and 60-point plateaus twice as a Sabre, including a career-high, 37 goals and 69 points in 2006-07. He also led Buffalo and tied for fourth in the NHL with career-highs in power play goals (17) and game-winning goals (nine) that season. Drury reached the 30-goal mark for the first time in his career in 2005-06, leading the Sabres in goals (30) and power play goals (16), and finishing second on the team in points (67). In the 2006 playoffs, Drury established career-highs in playoff scoring with 18 points and five power play goals in 18 games. He tied for third in the NHL in goals (nine) and power play goals, and sixth in points while leading Buffalo to the Eastern Conference Finals.
The 5-10, 191-pounder has skated in 892 career NHL games with the Rangers, Colorado Avalanche, Calgary Flames, and Buffalo Sabres, registering 255 goals and 360 assists for 615 points, along with 468 penalty minutes.

EVANS MILLS Primary school students here are among the most proficient in the state at turning hola and konnichiwa into hello.
According to a report by New York Childrens Action Network, Evans Mills Primary School, part of the Indian River Central School District, is tied for fifth place in New York for English-language learners performance, and the school is the only one in the north country to make the top 10.
Nearly 90 percent of the student body is military-related, Principal Pamela L. Knight said. As of Monday, 28 students speaking Japanese, Thai, German, Spanish, Indonesian, Arabic, Tagalog, Korean and Georgian required special English for Speakers of Other Languages classes.
Theyre all very eager to learn, said Rianna L. Morrow, who is a teacher assistant to ESOL head teacher Christina Edick, who is on maternity leave.
With some of our kindergartners, we just finished up a unit on nursery rhymes, Mrs. Morrow said.
She said that while learning the rhymes, students learn American culture and sentence structure and even math, by counting the legs on the spider that frightened Little Miss Muffet.
According to the Childrens Action Network website, the elementary school rankings are based on English and math proficiency in the third grade. The organization also ranks middle schools. What makes ESOL successful at Evans Mills, Mrs. Morrow and Mrs. Knight said, is teacher training and collaboration.
Mrs. Knight said she would talk to Alexander Sanchez-Contreras, 6, before he was picked up at the main office every day. The first-grader enrolled last year not knowing a word of English.
I would talk to him about trains, she said. I had a train down there that I would put letters on.
Alexander would have to put the letters in order for Mrs. Knight. She said he did not realize he was learning, because he was having fun.
On Monday, he was playing an iPad game with 7-year-old Rammah M. Badri, whose native language is Arabic.
Weve been using the iPad getting ready for a new pilot program, said first-grade teacher Carrie A. Smith. Its really amazing down at this level how fast they pick it up. ESOL students have an amazing desire to learn.
Mrs. Smith said she gets the bulk of the ESOL students every year. Students are pulled out of her class once or twice a day to go to the specialized ESOL class. She gives extra attention to those who are less proficient in English.
One of Mrs. Smiths students, Kate C. Saito, 7, started school this year knowing only Japanese. This week, Kate was chatting happily in English with native Spanish-speaking Aryanis J. DeLeon, 7, and putting on a puppet show for her classmates.
She came in very math-strong, coming from Japan, Mrs. Smith said.
When it came to reading and writing, Kate needed one-on-one sessions while the rest of the class worked on other assignments.
Collaboration between the teachers is huge, Mrs. Smith said.
Mrs. Morrow said that although many students test out of the ESOL program, she still checks on them to see how they are doing.
Mrs. Knight said Mrs. Edicks data-driven instruction and the amount of time the school has to work with the students are primary factors for the programs success.
We dont just teach them and off they go, Mrs. Knight said. Their parents have bought a house here and they stay for three years. Theyre a part of us.

Listeners continue to flood WNIR with calls, following the passing of long-time radio host Howie Chizek.
For 38 years, Howie brought something truly special to those who turned into his highly rated talk show.
And now, his brother is opening up only to Channel 3 News about who Howie was and how many people he touched.
Former Cavs announcer Howie Chizek will be best remembered as a boisterous radio personality, but his family says, it's what he did off the air that will be his true legacy.
Chizek spent years donating time and money to the community. He was a Little League umpire and coached a youth football team.
For decades he took more than a dozen under-privileged children and chaperones to Disney World. It was on this year's trip that he died.
His brother Larry Chizek said "Anywhere from 15 to 16 people. It was something that he paid for out of his own pocket. One thing that a lot of people didn't know about Howie is that he was a very benevolent person."
Howie Chizek will be laid to rest on Thursday.

Controversy brews around Seminole County teacher's 2004 child abuse arrest
Teacher reprimanded for hiding 2004 child abuse charges
A Seminole County elementary school teacher arrested on child abuse accusations went before a state board on Thursday after she allegedly violated the State Education Practices Commission's orders.
Amy Avery, 62, a teacher at Bear Lake Elementary, had worked out a settlement with the board to keep her job after being arrested in 2004 on child abuse charges and not reporting it, violating the district policy.
Court records report Avery allowed one child to beat another child, while being "present during the entire beating and did nothing to stop it."
Avery had later pleaded to a lesser charge and was sentenced to one year of probation for the criminal charge. instead of suspending her license, the commission agreed to a settlement, including fines and an ethics class, which she didn't complete before the deadline.
"So I'm here to beg your forgiveness for this," Avery told the board on Thursday.
Avery's teaching certificate could have been suspended but instead, she was ordered to pay $100 and was given a letter of reprimand.

My husband and I both bought one of these. We are in school right now for massage therapy and plan on doing a lot of chair massage once we graduate. The omni roller was a great tool to have during a chair massage to enhance the client's massage and also conserving my energy and hands. Love it!
I work at a computer and I crochet so my back is terrible. I am too underpaid to afford a massage, so I invested in one of these bad boys. While isn't nearly as helpful as a real massage, it does ease the tension and increase circulation. I am very happy to have it around!

Do wish it came in large as a first time wig owner/wearer, I am not sure if it should feel so tight. Using the gel head band to secure it has helped. The front seems a little long and comes down too far on my forehead, but needs to fit this way, otherwise, it feels like it will slip off. Do wish Paula Young sent a brochure with all her wigs to show a new wig wearer how to even put the thing on, like where to put the ear tabs. It is hard to figure this out if you have never worn a wig and at my age (or any age), I need all the help I can get to wear a new product like this properly. I think this company would sell more wigs if they did send a "How to" booklet/brochure, and a new catalog with each order as I have had others ask if I had an extra catalog as they were interested in buying a wig, too. Tho the catalog may not change for several months, I need a new one as mine has gotten very worn and wrinkled-the catalog, not the wig! (: I got it in the F37/305. My hair has gotten very thin on top due to a medication I was given to prevent migraines. What I have is white/grayish. This wig has a slight brownish color mixed in with gray, so looks very natural.

I liked the style of the wig and the fit, but I had to return the wig. The color ordered was represented as "Flax" which is a pale beige blonde. What I received was a brassy gold with reddish highlights. I would recommend this wig to a friend but add a caution as to the color.

About Me Beauty Conscious
This was my first wig and I am very pleased with the ease of wearing it. This wig is very natural looking. I receive many compliments. My friend who wears a wig daily had no idea that I was wearing this wig.

I wear a wig daily. My work requires close contact with clients and I am always self-conscious of the hair line on my previous wigs. This wig, with the lace front hairline is awesome! I normally wear light bangs to hide the wig hairline, but with this Allison wig, I can wear the hair styled up or with bangs. Up close, it looks just like a natural hairline.I found that I had to use A LOT of styling gel to hold a style similar to the one shown on the Allison description photo. I wish the Allison wig had a little more wave to the hair. And I wish I could get a little more "perma-tease" in the crown. Without the styling gel, the hair style was a bit flat.I am so impressed with the lace-front. I hope Paula Young brings out more styles with this hairline.

Natural, looks like my own!
By Clover1
from Central Valley, CA
Salon staff couldn't tell it was a wig! Even up close, hairdresser said it looked like "real hair". I did have the front thinned out as it was a little bulky. The hairline is awesome. Color 8/12A is so natural for those looking for a golden brown with a few highlight that are even and minimal.

By Donna
from North Carolina
Due to hair loss, I have been wearing a wig every day for the past 5 years. This is the first lace front I have worn and I absolutely love it. I love how I can wear it off my forehead and it looks so natural; like the hair is growing from my scalp. Please offer more lace fronts in shorter styles as this may be the only type I buy in the future.
Very nice
By Loves To Read

This is a very nice short style and the lace front makes it easy to wear off your face, which is great in the summer. The color, Strawberry Fields, is absolutely beautiful! The hair is very soft and natural looking. A definite winner!

MORRISTOWN – The Morristown Board of Education voted Tuesday to adopt a $9 million budget for 2013-2014.
The budget, a $481,154 increase over last years, represents the largest increase since the 2007-2008 school year.
Morristowns 2013-2014 budget includes the restoration of a social studies and an English position from half time to three-quarter time, an additional fulltime elementary teacher and a $100,000 building project to better secure the school building.
The largest driver of the increase in Morristowns budget is the $315,944 in teacher salaries and benefits.
Were a people business and thats where our money belongs, Superintendent David J. Glover said. [The money] belongs with our teachers; they teach our kids, thats whats most important. But unfortunately thats also our largest cost driver.
Morristowns 2013-2014 budget also figures in a $111,953 tax levy increase. That translates to a total of $3,453,833 in property taxes raised in next years budget.
The budget assumes $4.6 million in state aid, an $88,463 increase over last years amount, although Mr. Glover said he expects the state to deliver more aid to the district.
The states budget is expected to be announced by the end of the week.
But any additional aid money, Mr. Glover said, would be applied to the fund balance.
It would give us more life, Mr. Glover said of any additional state aid revenue.
The school has applied $970,663 in fund balance to close the 2013-2014 budget, a $280,740 increase over last years figure.
Mr. Glover said the school currently has roughly $3.3 million in its reserves.
Board Member Shawn Macaulay said he had hoped to see restorations to the schools technology department included in the budget.
Mr. Glover said the board can restore other positions in the future if it is willing to dip further into their fund balance.
A public hearing will be held on May 14 at 6 p.m. to discuss the budget passed by the Board of Education.
The budget will be put out to vote on May 21.
The budget was passed by a vote of five to one with one member, Vice President Darrell Merkel, absent.
Board President Cyril Aldrich Jr., and members Mark Tayler, Mary Anne Bailey, Jane Kring and Mr. Macaulay voted for the budget.
Mrs. Kring, several minutes after the budget passed, announced she had intended to vote against the budget. The Board agreed it was too late for Mrs. Kring to change her vote, and Mrs. Kring said, even if she had voted against it, the budget still would have passed.
Board Member James Michaels voted against the budget.

Author's Conclusions
Clinical/Scientific Implications
This study documents what pediatric oncologists have thought for years-that survivors of childhood cancers have long-reaching implications in the form of chronic problems. This was even more substantiated by comparing the cancer survivors to matched controls in the form of their siblings. This is even without considering scarring and disfigurement, which is extremely common in these patients. Also consistent with common opinion, patients who received both radiation and chemotherapy had a higher incidence of chronic conditions. Though this may simply mean that patients with more advanced disease have higher complications, the effect of treatment cannot be discounted. What may be most interesting about this study is that chemotherapy had just as high of a risk of developing chronic problems than did radiation. Radiation has long been associated with long term problems, yet it seems that chemotherapy is just as toxic, most likely in the form of neuropathies, asthenias, and leukemias. It appears that radiationis not alone in causing cancer survivors long term problems.

It's possible to cycle across town on the coldest, wettest day Portland has to offer without even the slightest chill.
I suspect it is, anyway. Call me naive, but with an unlimited budget for gear I suppose cyclists can stay as comfortable as that asshat splashing up potholes in his SUV. Like most Portlanders, I lack the means to try such solutions. So solving the problems along my 13-mile round-trip winter commute has required some ingenuity.
Wise people, and sad to say I am not one of them, buy what they need the first time. I'm plagued by pound-foolishness—always trying to scrape by with a more modest solution and often suffering in the process. All bike commuters seem to have different problems and peeves—some fear blue fingers, others fret a skunk stripe—so it's hard to tell anyone where to spend their dough. But here's what I've learned in four wet months of not driving to work despite having a nice little car I'm still paying off.
Better yet: Any old hat will work until you start flying down hills or the wind swirls down the valley. Then it gets mighty chilly. Which is why it's worth getting a Gore Windstopper stocking hat with big ear flaps (Outdoor Research, $25).
Really, though: A balaclava made of sumptuous Smartwool ($35) would be wonderful on extra-cool days.
Better yet: A pair of 200-weight polar fleece gloves (cheap pairs can be found at Marshalls) are usually thick enough to not soak through until I get where I'm going. They need to be dried out at night, which is a hassle, but it's definitely endurable.
Really, though: I've got my eye on a pair of Pearl Izumi Cyclone bike gloves ($40) with a waterproof softshell, grippy synthetic leather palms and helpful reflective accents.
Better yet: It takes some scouring, but you can score a decent used cycling coat at a thrift store or a secondhand sports store like Next Adventure. My Performance Bike coat (made in Canada, eh) runs about $129 new, but I found it at Goodwill for $7.99. It's too big and muted red instead of eyeball-popping neon green, but it's served me well.
Really, though: When I run into a little cash, I'll be buying an Endura Luminite cycling jacket ($139) made of waterproof material and with an LED fiber-optic strip sewn into the tail.
Better yet: Since the top of your legs are flat during much of your ride, they take the brunt of the falling rain. I finally decided it was worth getting a nice pair of seam-sealed pants with drawstring bottoms (Marmot Precip, $60).
Really, though: Honestly, $60 solved my problems. It'd maybe be nice to have basically the same thing but with articulated knees, higher-end fabric and reflective accents sewn in (Vaude, $130).
Better yet: Cheap yellow nylon cycling shoe covers (Log House Designs, $15) without taped seams aren't bombproof, but they do keep feet largely dry and shed the mud. A pair of cheap Planet Bike fenders ($12) helps you not ask too much of them. If you can't deal with wet feet, a pair of rubber boots from the Urban Farm Store ($20) will keep you dry, though they tend to slip off the pedals.
Really, though: Two Portland companies make cool water-battling footwear products. Shower's Pass Club shoe covers ($40) are higher-end than the cheapies I have, adding zippers and better fabric. The Bogs Hawthorne ($68) are ankle-high rubber shoes that look like sneakers and have a patch of ventilating mesh. It's surprising more companies don't make something like them. Then again, how many people outside Portland are crazy enough to have a need for such fancy rain boots?
Where to Find Cheap Gear
Andy and Bax
324 SE Grand Ave., 234-7538.
Portland's sprawling military surplus store is the best place to go for inexpensive, often ugly rain gear. Head here for rain pants, hoods, ski masks, long underwear and oversized booties. They may not fit quite right, but they'll be really cheap.
Next Adventure's Bargain Basement
426 SE Grand Ave., 233-0706, nextadventure.net.
The subterranean portion of the storied Portland outdoors store is packed floor to ceiling with great deals on closeouts and used gear. Come here for outerwear, bags, racks and helmets.
River City Bicycles Outlet
534 SE Belmont St., 446-2205, rivercitybicycles.com.
River City is known for its jaw-dropping selection of high-end racing and road bikes. But if you don't have $3,000 to drop on your ride, you might find a steal at the recently opened outlet, where River City offers major discounts on lower-end bikes, including some that would never make it to the floor of the flagship store. How's a GT single-speed for $400 sound?
Community Cycling Center
1700 NE Alberta St., 287-8786, communitycyclingcenter.org.
Want a used bike and don't want to deal with Craigslist? The Community Cycling Center refurbishes donated bikes into awesome riding machines, which it sells for a fraction of the new cost. Proceeds go toward teaching bike safety to kids, so you get a karmic benefit as well.
Various locations, meetgoodwill.org.
For all our talk of sustainability and upcycling and green this and that, Portlanders discard an awful lot of still-usable gear. Fortunately for everyone, much of it ends up at Goodwill stores, deeply discounted but still super-functional. A little regular browsing will turn up high-quality rain gear.

ESPN is telling us the Minnesota Vikings released Randy Moss today, less than a month after they gave New England a third-round draft choice for the future Hallof Famer.
Speculation is Randy sealed his fate by telling the world how much he loved the Patriots before and after yesterday's game. Minnesota coach Brad Childress is coming off a tough week, after failing to challenge a disputed TD in last week's loss to Green Bay, and then having to baby-sit Bret Favre all week. So when Moss came off the field after meeting with all of his Patriots friends, Childress must have been seething.
No problem. Childress's head will roll after this season, too. Minnesota will clean house. Moss, then Favre, then Childress.
Moss can now be claimed on waivers by any NFL team, starting from the bottom of the standings. Buffalo gets first crack. They don't want him. Maybe he gets picked up by the Cowboys, who could use a few laughs these days. Maybe Randy doesn't get picked up at all. That would leave the Patriots, who have the last shot at him in the waiver list, with a decision to make. Can Randy Moss go "home" again? Stay tuned.

Combining the finest elements of modern travel with the romance and elegance of a bygone era, luxury train travel through Africa is, simply put, a journey without equal.
Travel through dramatic landscapes at a smooth and stately pace whilst enjoying exquisite private luxury suites, impeccable service and fine dining. Our most popular luxury train journeys cross South Africa – running between cosmopolitan Cape Town and the city of Pretoria – but we can happily arrange longer trips to tumbling Victoria Falls or up into Namibia's desert landscapes.
Rovos Rail and the Blue Train are the two world-leaders in luxury train travel. Rovos is known for its beautiful wood-panelled dining carriages and old-world charm. Along with shorter trips, Rovos runs an annual 2-week odyssey from Cape Town all the way to Dar es Salaam – without doubt one of the most spectacular train journeys in the world.
The Blue Train is slightly more modern; its easily recognisable carriages - decorated in rich blue and gold – regularly cross South Africa in a 27-hour journey that is a smooth, fast ride.
Luxury train travel lets you experience Africa in a way you never have before, and soon you'll discover that it's the journey that matters as much (if not more) than the destination.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The sales pace of existing homes ticked down in March to the slowest rate since July 2012, showing weakness in the early spring sales season, though underlying trends signal a firming in market fundamentals, economists said Tuesday.
The National Association of Realtors reported that the annual sales pace of existing homes declined 0.2% last month to a seasonally adjusted annual 4.59 million. But March's result beat a consensus among economists polled by MarketWatch, who had expected a sales rate of 4.55 million, compared with a pace of 4.6 million in February.
Indeed, the broader market responded well to the data, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average sporting a gain of about 0.5% in mid-morning trade. The SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF XHB, -1.29% also was stronger. Read Market Snapshot.
For context, there was an average monthly sales pace of more than 6 million existing homes over the five years leading up to a 2005 bubble peak.
Sales rates have trended down since the summer on falling affordability as inventory remained low, and there's been concern about tepid spring-sales results. Some buyers have been put off by rapidly rising prices. According to NAR, the median sales price of used homes hit $198,500 in March, up 7.9% from the year-earlier period. Elsewhere Tuesday, a federal housing regulator reported that home prices in February were up almost 7% from the year-earlier period.
Unusually rough weather in recent months likely also curbed some demand, though regional sales results for March show gains in the Northeast and Midwest, according to NAR. New mortgage rules for borrowers and lenders are likely also curbing some deals, analysts say.
"At least part of the net weakening likely reflects weather effects, although, even without weather effects, sales have clearly slowed since early last year," Jim O'Sullivan, chief U.S. economist at High Frequency Economics, wrote in a research note.
In addition, banks have high hurdles for borrowers to obtain a mortgage, conditions that are particularly tough for would-be first-time buyers and younger families. Some economists worry that as institutional investors scale back their purchases, with foreclosures and ultra-cheap deals thinning out, first-time buyers won't fill the gap.
Over the last several business days, economists at both Fannie Mae FNMA, +5.24% and Freddie Mac FMCC, +4.45% the federally controlled mortgage-finance giants, cut their forecasts for the housing market's performance in 2014. Fannie reduced its outlook for new-home construction, while Freddie lowered its view for home sales.
2014 won't be a wipeout
Despite home-sales weakness in the first quarter of this year, economists don't think 2014 will be a wipeout.
"Although the string of negative readings suggests the recovery has stalled, the underlying details are more supportive," Wells Fargo Securities economists wrote in a research note.
Recent drops in the sales pace of existing homes have been relatively small, signaling that the market may be stabilizing and sales could bounce higher in coming months, Lawrence Yun, NAR's chief economist, told reporters Tuesday. Projects and purchases delayed by bad weather could show up in coming housing reports.
"Negative housing momentum, which was exacerbated by severe weather conditions during the winter months, may be starting to fade...We expect positive underlying fundamentals to begin reasserting themselves, helping to drive a rebound in housing market activity over the coming months," Gennadiy Goldberg, U.S. strategist at TD Securities, wrote in a research note.

Polian Declied Jets Invitation for Interview
Bill Polian apparently turned down a request from the Jets to interview for the GM job before they engaged with Korn/Ferry to take care of the search according to USA Today.
Before the New York Jets hired a search firm to look for a new general manager, the team spoke to former Indianapolis Colts executive Bill Polian, according to a person briefed on the talks between Polian and the organization.
The person, who spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity, said Polian expressed to the team he wasn't interested in taking the job.
Polian, currently an analyst for ESPN, would neither confirm nor deny he spoke to the Jets about the job when contacted Sunday evening.
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comMaybe it's somewhat disconcerting that he wasn't even that interested, but I'm not going to get all broken up about Bill Polian not wanting the job. I think it's fair to say the game might have started to pass him by.
Polian is ill-suited to working in New York and a look at his recent draft record is pretty poor. The Jets are better off without Polian, but I would have to say that he wouldn't jump at the chance is a little concerning … but then again maybe Tanny was still in the picture then … that they would even think he'd be the right guy for the GM job .. that's more what I'm concerned about …

Study on the impact of EU policies and the measures undertaken in their framework on tourism Veröffentlicht am: 12/10/2012, Letzte Aktualisierung: 06/06/2014
- Autor:
- RPA for DG Enterprise and Industry.
This study examines the impact of different EU policies, and their legislative and non-legislative initiatives, on tourism and its competitiveness (Volume 1).
The study also includes a separate guide to EU financial instruments, for stakeholders within the sector to identify and access funding (volume 2).
Better mainstreaming tourism into other EU policies and raising awareness on the impacts that those policies can have on the tourism sector could contribute to releasing the sector's full competitive potential, by ensuring that the interest and needs of the tourism industry are fully taken into account when formulating and implementing these policies.

DI again accused of quote-mining
The following appeared in the San Angelo (Texas) Standard-Times on August 13, 2003, and is posted here with the permission of its author.
William Jewell College Upholds Evolution
William Jewell College, a liberal arts college founded in 1849 associated with the Missouri Baptist Convention, is about to lose the MBC's support due to its position on a variety of issues, including the teaching of creationism.
The MBC's executive board voted 44–4 to recommend that the MBC discontinue its support of the college -- about $850 000 per year, roughly 3% of the college's annual budget. The recommendation is expected to be followed at the MBC's annual meeting in early November.
Another "Design Hypothesis" Bill
On July 17 House Bill 5005 was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives and referred to the Education Committee. HB 5005 endorses "teaching the design hypothesis as an explanation for the origin and diversity of life."
House Bill 4705, introduced in 2001, contained the same provisions and some of the same sponsors as HB 5005. The 2001-2 Education Committee took no action on HB 4705. The full text of HB 5005 follows:
HOUSE BILL No. 5005
Proposed Legislation Requires "Intelligent Design"
On July 2 House Bill 4946 was introduced in the Michigan House of Representatives and referred to the Education Committee. This bill would amend Michigan's school code to require the state board of education to modify its science standards to include the idea of "intelligent design of a Creator" wherever evolution is mentioned.
HB 4946 was introduced by a member of the Education Committee, Rep. Kenneth Bradstreet, and has 24 co-sponsors, 8 of whom also sit on that 19-member committee. The relevant portion of HB 4946 reads as follows:
Minnesota Official Concerned About Santorum Language
According to a July 8, 2003, broadcast on Minneapolis television channel WCCO, Education Commissioner Cheri Peterson Yecke, who is in charge of choosing committee members to draft Minnesota's science education standards, is citing the Santorum "amendment" as grounds for including "a higher power creating life alongside evolution".

Wet Dry filters are recommended for all types of freshwater tanks and for saltwater fish only tanks. Wet Dry filters work by mixing air and water mix as the water from the overflow box trickles over an exposed filter media such as Bio Bale. Biological filtration and gas exchange occur as the water flows in a thin layer over the media surface. The Bio Bale media provides optimum growing conditions for bacteria, which oxidize nitrite and toxic ammonia. The rapid oxidation of ammonia and nitrite helps to maintain a stress free environment for aquatic life.

Recap | BoxscoreLady Bisons edged by USC Upstate 1-0
Sunday, September 26, 2010The Lady Bisons soccer team had numerous opportunities to score but failed to capitalize on them against USC Upstate, as a long distance goal proved to be the difference as the Spartans edged Lipscomb 1-0, Sunday at the County University Soccer Stadium.
With the loss, Lipscomb falls to 4-8 overall and 0-4 in the Atlantic Sun, while the win improves USC Upstate to 3-8 on the season and 1-2 in conference play.
"Today was a very frustrating game," Lady Bisons coach Jon Ireland said. "I thought we completely dominated the game but we failed to score on the multiple chances that we had on the offensive end. Give USC Upstate credit, they did what they had to, to win the game. Their goalkeeper, she made two or three incredible saves."
The first-half ended in a scoreless tie as both teams posted four shots and two corner kicks in the opening period.
With the game still a scoreless draw, the Spartans broke the ice in the 70-minute mark when Jessica Jackrya's shot from the right side from 35-yards out somehow found the top left corner of the net to give the Spartans the lead.
With 20 minutes left in the game, the Lady Bisons turned up the heat in the final 20 minutes but failed to counter the Spartans' goal. Lipscomb outshot USC Upstate 6-2 in the final period, including 5-1 in shots on goal.
The Lady Bisons led nearly every statistically category including shots (10-6), shots-on-goal (8-3) and corner kicks (8-3). Danielle Bethke led the Lady Bisons with three shots, including two on frame.
"It's frustrating when you give up a cheap goal and then fail to score on the other end when we had opportunities too," Ireland said.
Despite the loss, the coaching staff did see some positives on Sunday.
"We dominated the game in a lot of phases today." Our defense and midfield played well, we just need more production out of our offensive attack."
The Lady Bisons will be in action next Saturday night when they play host to Campbell at the Lipscomb Soccer Complex. The game will start at 7 p.m.
