Best Yeast Infection Products
If you are looking for the MOST COMPREHENSIVE and RECOMMENDED product, I suggest you check out Yeast Infection No More by Linda Allen.
Best Long Term Solution:
A comprehensive, 250-page guide to understanding and discovering the underlying root cause of your yeast infections and using natural and alternative methods to achieve a long-term solution.
It's not for the faint of heart, as Linda Allen expects you to make substantial changes to your diet and lifestyle. However, this is really the best way to achieve a longstanding cure, so if you're up for it, this is the program for you.
The following products are also VERY GOOD and worth taking a look at. I've reviewed dozens of yeast infection products, and these are the best of the best:
Best Preventative Remedy:
In this guide Leigh Hunter not only covers some impressive methods for curing your yeast infection quickly, but also describes how prevention can be your most powerful weapon. She helps you understand why you are getting yeast infections in the first place so you can stop them before they start.
Note: The website has sound, so before you navigate to it make sure to turn down the volume on your computer if you're in a public place and don't want to advertise what you're searching for :-).
Best Natural Treatment:
This program is also a great guide to natural treatments for yeast infections. Many users described being surprised at how well the natural home remedies described in this book worked, especially compared to what they thought were more powerful prescription medications. Sarah Summer does a fantastic overview of all the natural treatments and tells you which are the best and which may be unhelpful or dangerous.
Best Rapid Cure:
The goal of 12 Hour Yeast Fix is all in the name-- quick relief! What impressed me about this guide is that it describes some pretty powerful methods you can implement today to have substantial relief by tomorrow.
Also check out my RECOMMENDED NATURAL SUPPLEMENTS for fighting yeast infections.
Best Candida-fighting supplement:
Yeastrol is a a homeopathic remedy with 12 all natural ingredients known to fight yeast infections-- without the use of harsh drugs or chemicals. It is applied under the tongue up to three times a day, and can be used safely with other medications. It helps to combat a variety of yeast infection symptoms in both women and men, including local itchiness, discomfort and pain, as well as systemic symptoms such as digestive problems, weakness, skin disorders and low energy.
Best Immune-Supporting Multivitamin:
It's not a secret that a proper internal balance of vitamins and minerals is crucial for optimizing immune system strength. This complete multivitamin contains all the essential nutrients you may be missing in your diet. Even if you eat healthfully, a well-balanced multivitamin such as this one is like "insurance" against vitamin deficiencies that can easliy occur and weaken your body's natural ability to fight back against Candida yeast infections. This is a key part to any comprehensive anti-Candida plan.

The Shia faith has always been a defining aspect of Iranian nationhood. In the twentieth century, the pro-Western regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi silenced critics and was eventually toppled by a popular revolution with strong religious dimensions in 1979. Tehran's stance has since been basically anti-Western, but that may now be changing. Maysam Behravesh, a political analyst with Tehran Bureau, assessed the nature of the Shia regime in an interview with Hans DembowskiMore

The rivalry between Saudi Arabia and Iran has been known to reach explosive heights on occasion. Deadly proxy conflicts are currently raging in a number of flash points in the Middle East. By Adnan TabatabaiMore
The islands of stability in the Arab-Islamic world are shrinking. In the face of war and chaos, the West continues to cling to its new-old allies: the "moderate Sunni regimes". The aim of this alliance, which purportedly shares goals and ideals, is that "good Islam" will conquer "bad Islam" with Western support. By Stefan BuchenMore

Saudi blogger Raif Badawi was sentenced to 10 years in prison and 1,000 lashes by a Saudi court. His crime: using the freedom afforded by the Internet to express his opinion on the religious authorities in his country. He is not the only one in Saudi Arabia to fall foul of the authorities. In general, the crackdown on freedom of expression has been in full swing for quite some time. By Kersten KnippMore
Whoever equates Islam with Islamists has allowed themselves to be taken in by the radicals and ignores the fact that there are many liberal Muslims who have adapted their faith to the requirements of the modern world. By Rainer HermannMore
For three decades now, the renowned French sociologist and political scientist Gilles Kepel has been monitoring the development of Muslim societies. He sees a close connection between the developments in the French suburbs and the events in the Arab world. Beat Stauffer spoke to him in ParisMore
In recent years, Saudi Arabia has become increasingly estranged from the US, the world power that has held its protective hand over the kingdom for many years. The royal family has now changed the course of its foreign policy and sees Pakistan as a suitable strategic partner and a counterbalance to the influence of Turkey and Iran in the region.

Screencast: Network Access Protection with 802.1x (Part 1)
About This Video
One of the most important features of Windows Server 2008 is Network Access Protection. In it's simplest terms NAP is a platform Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista for implementing client health requirements on your network. We all know that clients become unhealthy for many reasons. NAP enforces client health requirements that you defines to make sure that your PC's in your environment stay healthy. I've done presentations and demo's on this many times so I thought it was about time to to turn the demo's I've done into a screencast. So I needed to break this down into 2 parts. In part 1 of this screencast I'm going to to take you through some of the things you need to do to configure NAP for 802.1x authentication; including the switch confirguration; domain setup and NAP setup in Windows Server 2008.
In part 2 I'll show you NAP in action and what it looks like from the client perspective plus some of the events that occur at the server end and on the client.

Researchers: Formula Can Predict Childhood Obesity
CBS Minnesota (con't)
Affordable Care Act Updates: CBSMinnesota.com/ACA
Health News & Information: CBSMinnesota.com/Health
MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Researchers say a simple formula can predict a newborn's chances of becoming obese in childhood.
Researchers point to several factors known right when a child is born. Besides birth weight, the factors include the body mass index of the child's parents, the number of people in the household, the mother's professional status and whether she smoked during pregnancy.
The calculation has an 80 percent chance of being right. Once a child gains weight it's harder to lose it, so prevention is key.
"Maybe this calculator will get some families who might otherwise not take a healthy lifestyle seriously to take it more seriously," said Dr. Jonathan Fanaroff of UH Rainbow Babies and Children's Hospital in Ohio.
More than a third of children and teens are overweight or obese in the U.S.

Water stations are set up around the course. Oh, how we take that water for granted.
A tent is set up, and the sound system is turned on Kensington Church does nothing small.
Good morning, Bill Clark says in a microphone to about 100 runners before a training run at Stony Creek Metropark in Shelby Township. Everyone come on in a little bit. Its another beautiful day.
The runners circle around him. Kicking their legs. Stretching. Trying to warm up before this early-morning run on a recent Saturday.
Most are wearing blue uniforms with Hope Water Project on the front and Team Kensington down the sleeve. More than 1,400 runners from Kensington Church are training for next months 36th Detroit Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon.
Some of the members of Team Kensington are experienced, elite runners. But most are everyday people some of whom couldnt run a block when they started and they now are training to run 26.2 miles on Oct. 20.
But this story is bigger than a bunch of rookies running a marathon.
Because the goal is so huge and important.
This is a story about people from metro Detroit who are using a marathon to try to save lives in Africa.
By running the marathon, Team Kensington hopes to raise $1 million to dig deep-water wells for the Pokot people in Kenya.
Clark continues talking, giving the runners advice. Behind him there is a sign: We run/walk with purpose! We run/walk to end suffering! We are Team Kensington! Remember why you are here!
A commitment
Kensington, a Christian mega church with four campuses in metro Detroit, has raised enough money to dig 56 deep-water wells in Africa since 2004, focusing on the Pokot people.
They are a forgotten group, says Clark, organizer of Team Kensington. Not many organizations are helping them. We are trying to support this one specific group because nobody else is.
A year ago, about 300 runners from Kensington ran the Chicago Marathon and raised more than $300,000 for new wells.
This year, Clarks goal was to recruit 1,000 runners. But they blew that number away.
Clark and his team kicked off the program by going to every service at Kensington, at the campuses in Troy, Lake Orion, Birmingham and Clinton Township.
More than 1,000 people signed up to run the full marathon. That prompted race organizers to increase the size of the field, and the event still sold out two months before the registration deadline. In fact, one out of every six marathon runners on the streets of Detroit and Windsor will be from Kensington.
Another 400 members of Team Kensington are running the half marathon and a handful will run the 5K and five-person relay.
We were blown away to have such a huge response, says Clark, 45, who lives in Rochester Hills and has run 14 marathons. We would probably be a bigger team if the marathon didnt sell out.
Other area churches are running for charity, many to build wells in Africa, but Team Kensington is by far the largest group.
The vast majority of Team Kensington runners have never run more than a 5-kilometer race. Clark created the training schedule and put together several seminars. How to buy shoes. What to eat. How to sleep properly. How to prevent injuries.
These are very, very new runners, people who didnt know you are supposed to buy a specific type of shoe, who didnt know how to eat or drink while running, Clark says.
And when participants need motivation, they just think about the Pokot people.
Clark says that it costs about $22,000 to drill a well, and one well can provide enough water for 500 people to survive.
So many kids are dying every day, he says. They have two choices: Dont drink any water or drink dirty water to survive. But it slowly kills them. Its pretty sad. Its a forgotten group, in a very tough area.
Nonrunners find energy
Back at Stony Creek Metropark.
Liz Harfield takes the microphone from Clark.
Team Kensington is so large it actually has two sites for weekly training runs: one at the Clinton River Trail in Oakland County and this one at Stony Creek in Macomb County.
I am not an athlete, says Harfield, 39, of Troy. I am not a runner. I never played competitive sports in my life.
She calls herself a runner wannabe. I think the real reason Im running is because they said I could do this, she says and everybody laughs.
She runs because it has become spiritual, she says, a way to spend time with God. But she also enjoys the camaraderie that she feels in the group runs, spending time with new friends.
Im getting to know an amazing community of runner people, like you, she says. Im doing this because I want to be part of a movement that will make a lasting difference in this Pokot tribe that doesnt have much hope right now.
Clark takes the microphone and says a quick prayer.
The runners leave the parking lot in small groups, heading out on a trail around the park.
One of the last to leave the parking lot is Anna Styrzynska, who is holding onto a leash. Her dog, Zorra, a 4-year old miniature pinscher, is yelping and crying and tugging on the leash, excited about going on the run.
It breaks my heart, Styrzynska says, that I can run with my dog and she can drink water out of a sprinkler system that is cleaner than some human beings have the ability to drink in other countries.
Doing what they can
Amy Antenucci stands at a water station, wearing a team uniform and waving pompons.
Nice job, she says. Keep it up. Go team.
She broke her leg last year running the Chicago Marathon, and she is still recovering. Instead of training, she comes to the group runs to cheer.
Running in Chicago was such an amazing experience for me, she says. I want to encourage them to have the same experience. When you run for something bigger than yourself, its like a spiritual experience. Physical. Mental. Spiritual.
Another group of runners comes up to the water station.
Whooo, Antenucci says. Go team.
Thom Kuchulan, 55, of Harrison Township grabs a cup of water.
He started training in April.
At the beginning, I was dying, Kuchulan says. My body was hurting. I get aches and pains in my rear end and my legs.
He had doubts that it was possible to turn somebody into a marathon runner in less than a year.
Honestly, at the beginning, I didnt know how I would get here today, says Kuchulan, a real estate broker in St. Clair Shores. Its tremendous what its done for me personally.
He lost 14 pounds, and he feels young and energetic. He is convinced that he can finish a full marathon now.
But hes afraid to miss a day of training.
If you stop, I think it might affect me from crossing that finish line, he says. I dont want to do this and not get there.
Understanding athletes
Now, maybe, you are not a runner.
Maybe, you cant understand why anyone in the world would want to run 26.2 miles. Maybe, you cant fathom why about 27,000 runners, walkers, wheelers and handcyclists have registered for the races that comprise the Free Press/Talmer Bank Marathon.
Which will make you a fan of Jessica Follebout.
I hate to run, says Follebout, 22, of New Baltimore.
Sometimes, its a challenge for her to get out of bed.
Sometimes, I think, OK, Ill put on my workout clothes, even if I dont feel like running, she says.
And then, she finds herself sitting there, with her workout clothing on, and she thinks about those kids who dont have drinking water.
And the guilt makes her go out to run.
Then, Ill think, OK, now Ill go, she says.
She wouldnt do it without the group.
She couldnt do it.
There is no way I would run 10 miles by myself, Follebout says. It really motivates you to go and do well. I hate it. But Im proving that I can.
Watching the pledges
Team Kensington has $415,000 in pledges.
I still think we will hit the million, Clark says. I actually think we are going to go over it.
Clark says that typically, most sponsorship money is secured in the last month or so when the runners finally realize its real and they can do it.
The same thing happened when they ran last year in Chicago.
Team Kensington decided to run in Detroit this year because its closer and cheaper. No hotels.
And, besides, they are trying to help Detroit.
We really want to make it local, Clark says. Part of our initiative is what we can do downtown. We havent finalized it yet, but we are going to take a stretch of the marathon and take our team down there and maybe clean it up. Do something. We want to have some impact on the city of Detroit.
So this is a story about runners.
And its a story about saving people in Africa.
And its a story about how the world can seem so small when you get involved.
Yes, we are changing lives in Kenya, Clark says. We want to get water to people who dont have access to it. And bring awareness to it.
But, man, there are lives being changed here in Michigan; that really makes this thing cool.

October 7, 2015
It's not often that I use this forum as a soapbox (No, really. Stop laughing...) and I'm going to do it for once right now.
It occurs to me that I live in a county where we pay a surcharge to the County Engineer's office to fund road repairs. However, there are some who feel that the money is not going to that purpose. They complain that their bridge, their road, their median, their signage... is not getting attention.
I have a hard time denying complaints that their local bridge should have been fixed long ago. Especially when I've been paying a premium for license plates for more than the last 25 years.
But my point is not what my county is charging me on top of the state. It's the charge the state of Ohio is passing onto me.
Now, I agree that a personalized license plate might cost a little more to produce... to stamp the metal, mail the plate, and create the computer record to track my vehicle. But that's where the additional expense should end.
Why is it that you have to pay the additional premium AGAIN when you get new license plate TABS?
Certainly, there is no additional expense in producing the tabs. They can be mailed cheaper than the actual plates, and there's no new computer record to be set up.
So, why do those who have a specialty plate get charged more for already having one?
I would think we all could be saved a ton of money if the state wouldn't charge us full rate for an adhesive sticker mailed to us two months in advance of the expiration of the old one.
Now, before you remind me that the state is dependent upon that extra income, and has budgeted for it... let me suggest that the state should not be budgeting based upon such unfair fees.
There, I'm done now.
Let me go out and apply my license tab before it freezes.

Our History
Organize to Evangelize
During the ministry of Pastor Harold L. Cleveland at Glenville Seventh-day Adventist Church, the need to provide a church home for the growing membership of those who lived on the southeast part of Cleveland became apparent. Pastor Cleveland became President of Allegheny West Conference and with God's guidance his dream became a reality. In May, 1974 Southeast was organized. Sister Ann Robinson said it best when she coined the phrase, "Organize to Evangelize."
The church rented St. Paul United Methodist Church as their first place of worship. On our first Sabbath at St. Paul there were 119 applications for membership, and by June, 1974, Southeast had a total of 166 charter members. The membership grew so fast that we soon outgrew St. Paul. Aldersgate United Methodist Church assisted Southeast by providing our next temporary church home.
The decision to build the first black Adventist Church in Cleveland was voted by a majority of members in June, 1975. The corner of Tarkington and Lee Road was the selected site. A ground breaking was held on January 9, 1977.
Pastor Donald L. Burden, with God's inspiration and support from the members of Southeast, brought the dream of mortgage burning to fruition on May 20, 1995.
Since our inception in 1974, Southeast has been blessed by a group of God inspired men;
Pastor King Solomon Smallwood
Pastor Gerald D. Penick
Pastor David Trusty
Pastor Gilbert Anderson
Pastor Edgar T. Mimms
Pastor James Doggette Jr.
Pastor Donald L. Burden
Pastor Alfred Booker, Sr.
Pastor Bryant Taylor
Pastor Jerome M. Hurst (current pastor)
Interim Pastors
Pastor Henry Wright
Pastor John Smith
Pastor Stephen T. Lewis

The healthcare bill received the final endorsement from the House of Representatives last week, and President Obama set out to promote the proposal among the American people, but many conservatives continue to vow to push for its repeal.
Among them is David Larsen, Republican candidate for the 7th Congressional District in New Jersey this November, who said that the Democrats' celebration is premature as he will oppose the individual mandate if sent to Washington, based on his belief that it is intrusive and will lead to inefficiencies.
"Washington just handed another whopping tax to business and the average American better get used to waiting in lines [to get medical care]," he said.
Attorney General Henry McMaster of South Carolina, who joined a lawsuit against the federal government, echoed Larsen's concerns, saying that the individual mandate is "unconstitutional and a violation of state sovereignty and individual liberty," according to CNN.
Meanwhile, President Obama was in Iowa City on March 26 to promote the bill, which he called "a historic step" that would give 32 million more Americans access to affordable healthcare.
He also challenged his Republican opponents to repeal the law, saying "go for it," The Washington Post reported.
"If they want to have that fight, we can have it," he added, quoted by the news provider.

Dmitry Medevedev
The possible prolongation of the Russia-Armenia Gyumri base contract until 2044 during the visit is in the centre of American media and analysts' attention.
The majority of the American experts said the particular contract is dangerous for the region as it may bring armament misbalance. The experts say the region has too many problems and reasons for conflicts already and they don't need another one.
A former US Ambassador to the Soviet Union (1987-1991), Special assistant to the US president on national security affairs, Senior Director for European and Soviet Affairs on the National Security Council Staff from 1983 until 1986 Jack Matlock said that both Russia and its neighbors like Armenia and others "make too much over military bases".
He believes bilateral co-operation is something which is more important, it shouldn't damage to regional security: "Security in the area should be based on regional cooperation. There should be serious discussion of Medvedev's idea of a new, all-European security arrangement".
He proposes another way of co-operation: "In particular, the countries of the Black and Caspian Sea areas should think in terms of collective security not expansion of existing alliances. Why not try to do more through the OSCE?"
Pavel Podvig, a researcher at the Center for International Security and Cooperation at Stanford University, expert on military co-operation and security, says such a step from Russia's side was predictable.
"As a general observation, I think it is understandable that Russia would like to have something tangible in countries like Armenia - it creates a certain reality on the ground. I don't think these are threatening developments. At least they shouldn't be considered as such" – he added.

AZ Education Technology Resource - home. The Dos and Don'ts of Tech Integration PD. Of all the initiatives a school can begin, integrating technology may require the most professional development.
This is partly because of the equipment, hardware, and software involved and partly because of the shift that a teacher must make in his or her teaching style, technique, and planning process in order to effectively use technology in the classroom. Here are some basic "dos" and "don'ts" for anyone doing tech integration professional development. This approach requires those who provide professional development for teachers to listen to their needs, and to know the school and staff they are either visiting or presenting to.
This includes situations when staff present to their colleagues. The Tech Commandments: Ideas to Revitalize Education « Visibility Matters. According to author Adam Bellow, The Tech Commandments are a reaction to what he has seen and experienced in schools over his several years as a technology training specialist.
We got connected with Adam through Twitter, and he graciously gave us permission to share a condensed version of these commandments with our readers. Training is Essential Providing training to staff is almost more important than the technology itself. If a school spends its entire technology budget to buy "stuff," but nothing on teaching and supporting the use of the "stuff," it is a huge waste. Training and support should be a top priority. Money Isn't What Makes Educational Technology Work Buying an expensive camera doesn't make you a good photographer. Restricting Access is Too Extreme Students need to be kept safe from offensive areas of the web. Teaching technology abroad. Small-changes-big-returns - Images & Video. Fractals—Math, Science, Art, and Sketchpad.
Share Josephine mentions in her recent post how exciting it was to see what someone was doing in mathematics and that it involved Sketchpad.
I also was inspired by someone who stopped by our booth at NCTM Albuquerque after having seen a presentation on fractals from the Fractal Foundation. My Math Sites. Most Essential Tools for Presenters and Conference Organizers. Conferences have come a long way in the last few years.
As a presenter or as an organizer, here are some useful tools and tips to help you get the most out of your sessions. Conferences have come a long way in the last few years. People just don't attend a presentation, take down notes, ask a few questions and leave but they expect something more. As a conference presenter, here're some useful tools (and tips) that may help you get the most out of your session. Once the details of your session has been finalized, set up a Google Moderator page to get an idea of what people expect to gain from your presentation. It will help if you can create a public Facebook event for your session. If you are speaking at a big conference, the organizers may have already set up live streaming for your session but if that's not the case, go live yourself with the help of services like UStream or LiveStream. Google Tools and Bloom's Revised Taxonomy.
Facts.Leslie Owen Wilson provides a good overview of Anderson and Krathwol revised Bloom's Taxonomy which was updated in 2000.
Andrew Churches developed a model, called Bloom's Digital Taxonomy, to highlight the use of tools and technologies at each level to facilitate learning.Alex Ambrose (2009) created a site dedicated to his idea of Googlios, the use of Google tools to support the creation of student ePortfolios to enhance their personal learning environment. After looking through the wealth of information offered by Andrew and Alex, and having already developed my own version of Bloom's Digital Taxonomy with my favorite Web 2.0 tools for students to use at each cognitive level, I decided to combine the two-- a Bloom's Digital Taxonomy using ONLY the suite of tools offered by Google.

New In Theaters – "Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench" (Alternatives)
So, you say you're not at all interested in seeing Tyler Perry's For Colored Girls, or Robert Downey Jr in Due Date, or Naomi Watts in Fair Game, or Paramount's animated feature Megamind?
Well, if you live in New York, why not consider some indie fare – specifically Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench, a film we've covered a bit here on Shadow And Act.
The film finally sealed a distribution deal, after traveling the world, since its debut at the 2009 Tribeca Film Festival, screening here and there, each viewing usually accompanied by glowing reviews from audiences, reviewers and critics.
It was also nominated for a few awards, notably, in the Best Film Not Playing At A Theatre Near You category at last year's Gotham Awards.
Partnering up with Stanley Tucci and an independent distribution outfit called Variance Films, the film opens today, November 5th, here in NYC, at Cinema Village in Greenwich Village. Play-dates in Los Angeles (beginning 12/10/10), and Seattle, WA (beginning 1/7/11), are coming, so consider this your alert if you live in those cities.
I never got around to seeing the film, when it played at Tribeca (and elsewhere in NYC) last year, even though I wanted to; but I'll definitely see it – hopefully this weekend.
Guy And Madeline On A Park Bench was directed by 24-year-old Damien Chazelle. The film can be described as a black-and-white, 16mm verite-style relationship drama with the jazzy romance of an old-Hollywood musical. Yes, it's a musical. It tracks a pair of young lovers in Boston after they separate, search for new romance, and try to find their way back to each other.

Dollie is a fiber "paper doll" of quilted wet and needle felting.
Dollie is cut from the cabled front of a felted sweater I found at the local Goodwill. The outfits are a mix of needle wet felted sweaters and wool yardage. The button is a VERY old dime from my great-grandmother's button box - thought it an appropriate way to hang the purse. :-) As I live in the Haight Ashbury / San Francisco, Dollie has both her downtown outfit, complete with pearls, and weekend wear, including polymer clay iPod. Buttons attach the outfits to Dollie.
The quilted background is cotton/wool batting with Ritz dye -- from a
Quilting Arts article (can't remember the issue), and wet felted
I had fun with this one, and I hope Dollie gives you memories of your days with paper dolls!
Thanks for sharing Dollie. She certainly DID remind me of paper dolls!
Nice use of found objects - very clever! What a fun piece!

Bald Cardinals
Newark Valley, NY (WBNG Binghamton) Earlier this season we told you about the Sidney football offensive line, a group that has refused to shave until their season is over. Their first round playoff opponent has another hairy issue. In this week's action sports spotlight we talk with the Newark Valley Cardinals, who are braving the baldness.
Air Sidney
(WBNG Binghamton) " We'd rather pass than run the ball. It's easy for us." That attitude is an unusual one, particularly in section 4 class "C" football.
Raising The Bar
Vestal, NY (WBNG Binghamton) A quick look at the BU women's basketball roster might lead you to believe they'll be good NEXT year. But this group isn't all that patient. They spent today's media day saying THIS is their year. We take a look in this week's action sports spotlight.
Action Sports Spotlight - U-E Girls Soccer
Endicott, NY (WBNG Binghamton) They graduated 15 seniors, including the class "AA" state player of the year. Their coach of 10 years stepped down, and in his place comes a coach in her first year.
Action Sports Spotlight - Pat Milkovich
Apalachin, NY (WBNG Binghamton) The Vestal golf team is 9 and 0 this season. Part of it's success is it's number one player.
Action Sports Spotlight - Forks Option
(WBNG Binghamton) "We just knew he had that in him. We are starting to see that more and more. He's becoming more and more confident and trying different things.
Action Sports Spotlight - Alyssa Menz
Binghamton, NY (WBNG Binghamton) It's been quite a ride for Binghamton high school senior diver Alyssa Menz. She's a champion and holds all sorts of records. But that almost ended last year at the state qualifying meet. In this week's Action Sports spotlight, Action Sports reporter Gabe Osterhout speaks to Menz about an injury that threatened her career.
Action Sports Spotlight - Passing Optional
The first legal forward pass in American football was thrown in 1906. Which means the Chenango Forks offense is over 100 years old. Passing is optional and boring is beautiful for the Blue Devils. But as we find out in this week's action sports spotlight...if it ain't broke, don't fix it as Forks is fighting for another state title.
Action Sports Spotlight - BSens-Syracuse Rivalry
We seem to root for their college basketball team, we like their mall and we enjoy going up there for the State Fair. But when it comes to hockey, Binghamton residents don't particularly care for Syracuse. The B-Sens and Crunch played another memorable game in their bitter rivalry over the weekend. We examine the latest round in this week's Action Sports Spotlight.
Action Sports Spotlight - Big Start For Big Red
Fresh off its season-opening win at Alabama, the Big Red is receiving votes in the latest national top 25 rankings. And senior Ryan Wittman was named the Mid-Major player of the week for his 23-point effort against the Crimson Tide. Justin Horowitz spoke with Big Red coach Steve Donahue and got his thoughts on what could be the best season of Big Red basketball.

WMS Tiling, or why OSGeo is not a standards body
At the FOSS4G conference I was charmed to see a bunch of cross project hacking ... in the form of a meeting about "Tiling".
The result of this meeting is just now been made available:
The origional that I linked to earlier is here: Tile Map Service Specification (thanks to Schyler for the correction).
While this is an exciting concept, the excitement has spread to the media - in this case Directions Magazine: OSGeo Offers Up a Tiling Specification
The article explores the idea of OSGeo as a standards body, and I thought I may offer a clarification in this specific instance.
The tiling "specification" is currently a bunch of hackers bashing away at the problem. Standardization comes later, the document will be submitted to the OGC where I imagine it will be treated as an extension to WMS (much like the SLD specification).
It should be noted that this has been done carefully at a technical level, the requests made conform to the WMS specification. It was very tempting to do something closer to nasa worldwind where tiles are asked for row/col.
I always respect a standard that is backed by an implementation, more so when several implementations are available. The fact that OSGeo plays hosts to open source projects, that by definition need to work together, provide a great environment for collaboration in this manner.
This is the same approach used by the OGC for their interoptability experiments. Please view this tiling experiment in the same manner, the documents are not offical but we may learn enough to inform a standard.
Aside: The OGC does provide a nice venue for "Open standards"; personally I find their direct use of ISO standards is starting to "close" the door. A house with an open door, does no good if the front gate is locked.

Formation of a Levée
First 112 words of the document:
Formation of a Levée
Definition: Levées are natural embankments of silt along the banks of a
river, often several metres higher than the floodplain.
The river is on its floodplain with a very low gradient.
The river is mainly depositing (silt and sand).
When the river floods a lot of silt is deposited on the riverbanks and
much less on the floodplain.
Frequent flooding continues this build-up.
When the river is flowing, normally it deposits in the riverbed.
This raises the river above the floodplain.
But usually, the built-up levées protect the plain from flooding.
