For the last two years I had planned to backpack the complete Sierra High Route. I had read the Roper book, visualized his descriptions along the Skurka maps and day-dreamed quite often at my desk about being out there.This year I finally managed to take the two weeks off (from my family) that I figured it would take me to complete the Sierra High Route. But first I went with my family on the John Muir Trail so they would still remember the beauty of the High Sierra and in their thoughts be out there with me and be happy for me instead of being upset that I'm gone. During the trip I carried a DeLorme inReach that was sending tracking points every 10 minutes. That allowed my family to follow me "real-time" on topo map and aerial view. They enjoyed that tremendously. At the same time it allowed me to exchange messages with my wife and for example ask for the local weather report for the current and next day at my specific location – for example this one for the area near Izaac Walton Lake and Cotton Lake. Right before I went with my wife and my daughters on the JMT, I stumbled on BPL across two different posts from Andrew Fahrland in which he made references about going on the SHR at the end of the summer. My wife had met him and his wife during GGG IV at Henry Coe and suggested I contact him when I mentioned his posts to her. She had been all the time a little nervous about me going solo on the SHR and thought it would be a good idea to team up with someone. I contacted him, we emailed and we met for lunch. It turned out his plans were not as firm as mine – I had my permit, my food re-supply was packed – ready to be mailed on my return from the JMT, and my itinerary was all worked out. Andrew and I discussed our individual backpacking styles, our gear choices and base weights, our experience out there in the High Sierra and in the end we decided to go together. It turned out to be one of the best decisions – besides the decision to go on the SHR. Going together provided additional safety, companionship and support that enhanced the trip tremendously.Here are now several photos from our trip. It took us exactly 12 days (from 4 pm the first day to 4 pm the last day) to complete the Sierra High Route from Roads End to Twin Lakes. The following short day-by-day descriptions with photos will hopefully provide a good insight into the experience we had.Day 1 – Roads End to Grouse Lake – Distance: 9.5 miles, Ascent: 5,546 ft, Descent: 194 ftWe barely made it to the ranger station before it closed at 3 pm. Right when we arrived we saw a black bear in the parking lot. After dealing with all the paper work we packed our backpacks and I said good-bye to my wife who brought us out there. Before she left we weighed our packs. With all the food and fuel for the next 8 days plus 1 l of water my ZPacks Exo weighed 26.2 lbs. Andrew's ULA Circuit weighed 28.6 lbs.We knew we have to climb over 5,000 ft to reach Grouse Lake and that we would have to hike in the night to get up there. The alternative would be to stay at Lower Tent Meadow the first night. We kept our options open and just started hiking. It is almost all on trail and easy going. When we reached Lower Tent Meadow around 6 pm we met two other hikers who already set up tents. We refilled our water bottles and decided to keep going. It was nice and cool in the evening – perfect temperature to climb up all this way. We had full moon that night and didn't even need head lamps to keep hiking in the dark. We reached Grouse Lake after 5 hours of hiking and basically went to bed right away. The night was pretty cold – temperatures dropped down to 21 F – and our water bottles were frozen solid the next morning. I'm so glad I brought my WM UltraLite sleeping bag on this trip instead of the WM SummerLite that I used just before on the JMT. Andrew's Katabatic Alsec quilt also handles those temperatures well. Day 2 – Grouse Lake to Marion Lake – Distance: 15.6 miles, Ascent: 5,014 ft, Descent: 4,842 ftWaking up to frozen water bottles was a surprise, but we are still well rested and can finally see Grouse Lake in all its beauty. This is a great start and we are looking forward to the rest of the Sierra High Route. The second day would be a day of many passes. We cross Grouse Pass, Goat Crest Saddle, Gray Pass, White Pass and Red Pass while passing Glacier Lakes, State Lakes and Horseshoe Lakes before finally reaching Marion Lake. I was still recovering from a stomach flu I got the week before and was still finishing the final doses of medication for several days. I felt pretty weak on this day and I'm extremely glad Andrew was with me. He literally pulled me over the last three passes. Especially going up to White Pass seemed to be endless to me on that day. I was relieved when I finally walked down to Marion Lake and pulled out my Tenkara pole to fish trout for dinner.Day 3 – Marion Lake to Lake below Potluck Pass – Distance: 13.4 miles, Ascent: 4,891 ft, Descent: 3,612 ftI feel completely rested the next day. I guess I have to thank my wife that she convinced me to switch out my old ¾ Therm-a-Rest RidgeRest for a full length Therm-a-Rest XLite. I tried it on the JMT and told her I would take it on the SHR if it wouldn't develop a leak or even pop on the JMT. It didn't, so I took it along on the SHR – as did Andrew. This air mattress provided both of us with so much better sleep and made it possible that we would start every day well rested.We had a wonderful morning hiking through Lake Basin. Going up Frozen Lake Pass was fun – it was our first "serious" pass. Going down to the little lakes below made us test our skills on talus. Once down there we saw plenty of wildlife - a huge rabbit, two majestic 8-pointer bucks and a peregrine falcon. We could get within arm's reach of the rabbit and had the feeling we could have it for dinner if we seriously tried – instead I fished again trout for dinner at the Lower Palisade Lake after we crossed Mather Pass and before we went up over Cirque Pass to our final destination where we enjoyed the magic light around sunset. Day 4 – Lake below Potluck Pass to Wanda Lake – Distance: 18.9 miles, Ascent: 4,885 ft, Descent: 4,893 ftThis was another beautiful day. We climbed over Potluck Pass into Palisade Basin and over Knapsack Pass into Dusy Basin. Both basins are stunningly beautiful. During our lunch break in Dusy Basin I caught again some trout for dinner. We could also have caught Ptarmigans which we encountered almost daily during our trek through the Sierra – and they would always stay perfectly still until you were in arm's reach. Seeing my daily trout dinner Andrew slowly started to suspect that carrying a 2.7 oz Tenkara pole might really be worth its weight. Getting the extra fresh protein every night for dinner helps my muscles recover and I need to carry less food that way. Hiking down the Bishop Pass trail we came by a huge "waterslide" and amazing trees. When we reached the JMT, we had a conversation with ranger George who had positioned himself right before the intersection and checked every backpacker coming down Bishop Pass Trail. Now we followed the JMT over Muir Pass to Wanda Lake where we stayed for the night. On the way we had to pass the hiker-eating rock monster. Andrew got snatched but was strong enough to pry its jaws open and escape. So watch out if you ever intend to go on the Sierra High Route – it is dangerous out there … Day 5 – Wanda Lake to Mesa Lake – Distance: 15 miles, Ascent: 3,005 ft, Descent: 3,091 ftAfter hiking down from Wanda Lake to Evolution Lake where I took a bath, we left the JMT again and went cross-country with great views of Evolution Valley. The hike to the lake below Snow-Tongue Pass was very enjoyable. Going down on the other side of Snow-Tongue Pass was a completely different story. First we had to deal with steep loose sandy scree. Then we had to deal with endless talus through the Wahoo Lakes. We went slow and careful and reached soon enough Piute Creek where we met 80 year old Ruben. He was out there for 13 days, hiking with a full backpack. I hope I will be able to that too once I reach that age. We continued to Mesa Lake where we enjoyed our own little beach and a gorgeous sunset. Day 6 – Mesa Lake to Tarn below Gabbot Pass – Distance: 15.4 miles, Ascent: 4,520 ft, Descent: 4,123 ftGoing over Puppet Pass was gorgeous the lakes below like Puppet Lake and Elba Lake are so beautiful. We went down to French Canyon and walked up to Merriam Lake enjoying the scenery. Climbing over Feather Pass provided us with a great view of several Bear Lakes. White Bear Pass was a little tricky on the way down, but provided us with a view of the other beautiful Bear Lakes. Teddy Bear Lake was wonderful. We continued around Lake Italy and past Toe Lake up to the little tarn below Gabbot Pass. As it started to rain lightly we decided to set up camp there and actually use our tents - normally we would just cowboy camp and not set up tents. Day 7 – Tarn below Gabbot Pass to Tully Hole – Distance: 17.3 miles, Ascent: 4,027 ft, Descent: 6,347 ftThe morning provided us with a spectacular sunrise through the clouds that were hanging between the mountains over the pass. It seemed almost like the sky was on fire. We waited a little bit for the clouds to clear before climbing over Gabbot Pass. Lower Mills Creek Lake was a great resting place before climbing down into the Second Recess. This is a wonderful area which I might revisit with my wife on a future trip. From the Second Recess we climbed down to Mono Creek and then all the way up to Laurel Lake. From there we went over Big Horn Pass and had to make a decision how to reach Shout-Of-Relief Pass. Roper says in his book to traverse. Skurka recommends on his map to drop to Rosy Finch Lake and then climb from there to the pass. The talus and cliffs along the traverse didn't look inviting, so Skurka's recommendation with an easy ramp down and an easy ramp up was the safe bet. We decided to try both and see what the difference would be. Andrew went down to the lake and I traversed. It turned out that we both reached Shout-Of-Relief Pass around the same time. The traverse was as described in Ropers book and posed no problem as long as one always climbed up to get around cliffs. It saved all the additional climb, but it was slow going – so the resulting time was the same. The views from Shout-Of-Relief Pass in both directions were great. We passed Cotton Lake and stopped at Izaak Walton Lake for another bath. On the way down to Tully Hole we caught our trout for dinner in Fish Creek. The creek really deserves its name :)Day 8 - Tully Hole to Red's Meadow – Distance: 19.2 miles, Ascent: 3,937 ft, Descent: 5,803 ftWe climbed from Tully Hole to Lake Virginia, Purple Lake and then Duck Lake. From there we went over Duck Pass to Deer Lakes for lunch. Climbing up the Mammoth Crest provided us with great views to both sides. With the Ritter Range on one side and the Crystal Crag on the other. From here on we went over Mammoth Pass all the way down to Red's Meadow. This part brought us through lava fields and the burn area of the 1992 Rainbow Fire to Red's Meadow where we enjoyed a hot shower and a huge meal before picking up our re-supply. Day 9 - Red's Meadow to Waterfall above Ediza Lake – Distance: 13.5 miles, Ascent: 4,786 ft, Descent: 2,914 ftFrom Red's Meadow we visited first Devil's Postpile before climbing for over 3 hours to Superior Lake. There we had freshly caught trout for lunch. We also caught our trout for dinner right away. Andrew is now a Tenkara fan – he enjoys the fresh trout for his meals.Climbing over Nancy Pass to the Minaret Lakes provided us with many beautiful views. We continued via Cecile Lake to Iceberg Lake which didn't have any icebergs this year. Our camp at a little waterfall above Lake Ediza provided for great views of Mt Ritter and Banner Peak on one side and Lake Ediza on the other side. Day 10 - Waterfall above Ediza Lake to Blue Lakes – Distance: 12.4 miles, Ascent: 5,237 ft, Descent: 3,989 ftWe left the waterfall and climbed over Whitebark Pass to see Garnet Lake After climbing over an unnamed pass we reached Thousand Island Lake from where we started the long talus climb over North Glacier Pass to Lake Catherine. It was pretty windy up there and we continued quickly along several waterfalls and between many wildflowers to Twin Island Lakes, where the dreaded fording of the lake turned out to be very easy this year. We followed Roper's instructions carefully when doing this section. His descriptions proved to be invaluable and spot on. We continued to a little bench with nice trees where we had lunch and ended our day at Blue Lakes. Day 11 - Blue Lakes to Tuolumne Meadows – Distance: 23.6 miles, Ascent: 4,491 ft, Descent: 6,414 ftOur goal for this day was to make it to the grill at Tuolumne Meadows before 6 pm – Andrew couldn't wait to get a double cheeseburger – being out there in the wilderness for an extended time will do that to you. So we got up an hour earlier than usual. Normally we would start to hike around 7:30 am and stop around 6:30 pm. The climb over Blue Lake Pass in the morning was fun and the views of the lake on the other side were fantastic. Once we joined the Iceberg Pass Trail hiking was easy and fast. From up there above the Merced River we had great views of Half Dome. The hiking went through pleasant areas along the Lewis Creek Trail up over Vogelsang Pass to Vogelsang Lake At Tuolumne Pass we met a ranger who checked our permits. We asked him for the opening times for store and grill. He told us that the store is still open until 6 pm, but the grill closes at this time of year at 5 pm. It was already 3 pm and we had 8 miles to get to the store – so the ranger told us that we had a fair chance to reach the store in time, but no chance to make it to the grill for cheeseburgers. We set out to prove him otherwise and managed to reach the grill at 4:55 pm. That way I learned that Andrew knows three hiking speeds – normal, power walking and I-need-my-double-cheeseburger. When he ordered the double cheeseburger the person at the cash register informed him that they only accept orders for double burgers until 4:45 pm. You should have seen Andrew's face … The interesting thing was that they would accept an order for two cheeseburgers, but not for one double cheeseburger – go figure. Day 12 - Tuolumne Meadows to Shepherd Lake – Distance: 17.5 miles, Ascent: 5,592 ft, Descent: 3,830 ftAfter our power hike the day before, we took it easy the next day. Going through Tuolumne Meadows up to Gaylor Lakes by the Great Sierra Mine over Mine Shaft Pass by Spuller Lake and Maul Lake to Green Treble Lake. Approaching Cascade Lake with Steelhead Lake below it, we could see Sky Pilot Col to the right of Shepherd Range and Secret Lake Pass to the left. We both had read trip reports that described Sky Pilot Col as the most dangerous pass of the whole Sierra High Route. Someone went as far as calling Roper's description irresponsible. The pass had loose scree on the visible side that Roper described as "offensive" and lots of unstable talus on the other side that Roper said would require "constant attention" at every step. We had discussed our preferences for the last two days and our decision was to travel for half a day separate. Andrew would go over Secret Lake Pass to Upper McCabe Lake. I would go over Sky Pilot Col to Shepherd Lake. The next day we would meet between 9 and 10 am at Soldier Lake. The climb over Sky Pilot Col was exactly as Roper described it. Nothing was technically difficult, but constant attention was required during the whole segment. Spending the night alone at Shepherd Lake I had time to reflect on how going with Andrew changed the whole trip. I planned it originally as a solo trip and would have gone alone. Sure, I would have managed just fine, but going with him made it so much more enjoyable.Day 13 - Shepherd Lake to Twin Lakes – Distance: 13.2 miles, Ascent: 3,199 ft, Descent: 6,258 ftThe next morning we both went across beautiful Virginia Canyon to meet at Soldier Lake at the agreed upon time. Both of us had similar thoughts at night and during the morning. When Andrew arrived 15 minutes after me at Soldier Lake I told him how much I missed his re-assuring snoring during the night. We both laughed and were happy to see each other. We now climbed over Stanton Pass down to Spiller Creek from where we climbed over our final pass, Horse Creek Pass. From there on it was all downhill to the trailhead where a friendly hiker took a photo of both of us together. He even gave us a ride to Bridgeport, where we took a motel room to take showers have a big dinner and sleep before my wife picked us up in the middle of night to bring us home to the Bay Area.Summary - Sierra High Route – Distance: 204.5 miles, Ascent: 58,976 ft, Descent: 56,948 ftHow do you summarize such a trip? It was a wonderful experience. The High Sierra is so incredibly beautiful and going across it for over 200 miles from Kings Canyon all the way to Twin Lakes showed us so many great areas that we now have many, many places we would like to revisit with our wives on future trips when we have only a couple of days to spend in the Sierra. I'm extremely glad that I reached out to Andrew shortly before the trip and I'm thankful that he took the risk of going with someone who is 20 years older than him and doesn't work out at all. It turned out that we complemented each other quite nicely in our skills. Going together was definitely more fun, although I'm sure the Sierra High Route would have been a great experience on a solo trip as well. We backpacked the complete Sierra High Route in exactly 12 days while climbing the equivalent of two Mt. Everest – from sea level to the top – often over talus and scree. I'm sure I will tell my grand children about it more than once when I'm older. Hopefully I will not just talk about it, but be out there with them – like the 80 year old man we met at Piute Creek.

Wow! Great job Andrew and Manfred. So gorgeous out there. Glad the GGG worked out for you two.Manfred you have had a most excellent summer. Well done!
Excellent stuff and even better pictures and TR. You guys are awesome!
Awesome.Thank you for sharing this.-Nick
You guys are FAST!Thanks for sharing the beautiful photos and trip report. Inspiring.
Sounds like a amazing trip, I enjoyed reading. Thanks for the report.
What a excellent trip and memorable experience. Great job Andrew and Manfred. The well written trip report and pictures were a joy. Thank you for sharing.
Such an inspiring trip and report! When I first heard about this route I thought maybe someday I'd do it. Then I learned more and more about how tough it is. Which makes me think I wouldn't be up to it, but I love hearing about others who have a great time enjoying it's wonders!
Fantastic account - gawd it looks great.I've had the maps and guides for this for a couple of years.....looking for the opportunity to actually use them...this helps motivate :-)
It was great seeing you on the trail near the Palisade Lakes - you on the SHR, me on the JMT. Love your pictures!
Thank you Manfred for your detailed trip report and photos! You and Andrew kept an amazing pace. I am reading this from a hotel in Bishop, I'm leaving tomorrow to hike the first section of the SHR with a friend I met on BPL. Your TR has provided an awesome preview.
Fantastic trip and report. Gotta do that one day.
Great write-up, great photos, great accomplishment, Manfred. Thanks for sharing it with us.
This was an extraordinary trip; as Manfred put it, the trip of a lifetime. I too had the idea of doing the High Route in my head for about 2 years when Manfred sent me a message after seeing my Sawtooth TR. I had read Roper's book, pored over the maps for hours, and organized all my gear, but I hadn't really committed to doing the whole thing until Manfred suggested we go together. It turned out to be a very auspicious partnership, as we got along quite well and complemented each other's strengths and weaknesses very nicely. It certainly was a more enjoyable trip than if I had gone solo, which was my (and Manfred's) original plan. I like solo trips and all, but 2 weeks alone on a challenging route - that would have been a demanding mental pilgrimage. The High Route was different from other hikes that I've done in the past in that it was as difficult mentally as physically. The strain of routefinding all day and the need to maintain alertness over rough terrain meant that we were both a bit brain-fried at the end of some days, and it was very helpful to be able to share the burden with a teammate. Any time one of us had a lapse in concentration, we were swiftly punished. By the end of the trip, both of us had taken minor spills that could have been much worse. We paid the price for these incidents with broken hiking poles, torn clothing and backpacks, and lightly sprained ankles and various cuts and scrapes. We both managed to roll talus blocks onto our feet, fortunately with no consequences. Great partners make for great trips.But by day 5 or 6, it became clear that we were going to finish it - we were ahead of schedule each day, and the route stopped seeming like such a challenge and instead I could focus on the beautiful wilderness that we were travelling through. We got to experience some truly wild places - the Glacier Divide, Bench Canyon, the North Fork of the San Joaquin, Bear Lakes Basin, and many more. There is no shortage of places that I want to re-visit and explore more thoroughly. Here are a few more photos:The Black DivideMountaion lion tracks in the beach near our campsiteTypical High Route sceneryEarly morning reflection in a tarn below Gabbot PassManfred's handiwork meant we were never short on food (P.S. I already ordered a Tenkara rod!)We passed many candidates for the "perfect High Sierra Lake", but as Roper said, many are tied for first place.The Minarets were especially interesting, providing a different kind of routefinding challenge and visually stunning scenery.A tribute to teamwork.Last light over southern Yosemite.And I think this photo says it all:Andrew
Thanks for the trip report, sounds like you had an awesome hike. Your "2 week" pace is encouragement that I could complete this as a thru hike as well (hard to get more than a couple weeks off at a time).Question, what trouble if any did you encounter between Tully Hole and Nancy Pass from last November's blowdown? I see from the Forest Service website that the trail segments are clear, but wondering about the off trail segments?
We didn't have trouble with blowdowns anywhere on the route... the route is above treeline in the Tully Hole/Mammoth Crest area, so by the time you get into the aftermath of the storm, you are already on cleared trails.
Manfred and Andrew- thanks for the photos and trip reports, that was an awesome read.
Wonderful trip report you two. Whilst it may be the trip of a lifetime, I have a feeling many trips of a lifetime are in your future. Thanks for sharing and the great photos. Inspiring!
I received several questions about our daily milage and especially our daily ascent and descent. Since there is so much interest in that I took our elevation profile and annotated it with locations. Together with the trip report above it is hopefully helpful in your thoughts about hiking on the Sierra High Route.
Edited by Orienteering on 09/20/2012 15:40:49 MDT.
Nice! My SHR hike was definitely the most demanding days of hiking I have ever done, and my favorite too. Great trip, great report! Thanks!

DETROIT — When the Detroit Tigers hired Jim Leyland as their manager in the fall of 2005, it was widely accepted throughout baseball that they had lured one of the sport's best minds back from retirement. When the Tigers reached the 2006 World Series to face the St. Louis Cardinals, vats of ink were spilled on the two managers, Leyland and Tony La Russa, tomes written about their attributes, their accomplishments, their acumen.
In the dugout across from Leyland on Saturday night at Comerica Park, managing his team in Game 3 of the World Series, will be someone whose name rarely comes up in such discussions. Bruce Bochy has been a major league manager for 18 consecutive years, the longest current streak in baseball. He has won six division titles, including four of the five in San Diego Padres' history. He has won three National League pennants, and if the San Francisco Giants — who lead Detroit two games to none — close out the Tigers, he will join Terry Francona, newly hired with Cleveland, as the only active managers with two World Series titles.

Just a quick update tonight. Still roughing everything out & ive been hacking & changing bits here & there. The chest gave me a good run for my money & hes currently on his 3rd variation! As you can see he still needs his hands, backpack & weapon blocking in. Once these are roughed out i can go in & start refining the shapes, make it neat & then start considering the details. Gonna have to leave him for at least a week as ive got a job from tomorrow. Its going to be hard concentrating on that instead of thinking about Space Marines

text: You don't go to a place like King Burrito sober. It's possible, mind you, but such phenomena as coin-operated dispensers of religious-themed temporary tattoos, inexplicably hard-laminated copies of the Arbor Lodge neighborhood newsletter, and burritos the size and heft of a small log (only $3.95!) are best experienced with a drunk's heightened sense of appreciation. Otherwise, King Burrito stands as just another solid yet geographically anonymous installment of its genre—The Cheap Yet Reliably Good Mexican Takeout Place That Time Forgot, that of the water-stained drop ceiling and hard plastic trays and white people who roll their R's when ordering a bottle of Jarritos. Since you're at King Burrito, odds are you're looking for value, not foodie cred, so try the chimichanga—for only $5.75, you'll receive a paper boat literally overflowing with meat, fried tortilla, lettuce, tomatoes, avocado and sour cream. It probably won't be Oregon Tilth-certified, or local, or organic, or even in season, but, provided you're still drunk, it will be, like, the best thing you've ever eaten in your life, man.

NNU Students Donate While "Trick-Or-Canning"
Northwest Nazarene University students will hold a "trick-or-can" food drive to benefit local area food banks on Friday, October 30. To collect the food, students will go house-to-house throughout the University District and local neighborhoods requesting a donation of canned food items rather than asking for a treat.
Since the students' second goal is to raise awareness about environmental challenges facing the valley and the world, while collecting food for the local food banks they will give out an energy-efficient light bulb to every home they visit, regardless of having received a canned food donation.
To support this cause and your local community, please assist the NNU students as they "trick-or-can" between 6 and 8 p.m., Friday, October 30th. For more information, contact Robert Uehlin, student body community relations coordinator, email@example.com.

Milwaukee, WI -- The Beloit College Baseball team had their final tune-up before they head into Midwest Conference play this weekend, sweeping Wisconsin Lutheran College 3-0 and 5-0 on Wednesday.
Both games turned into pitcher's duels before the Buccaneers scored late for the wins.

Company overview"Open Standards and Open Minds"
Many years of experience
Aduna, founded in 1997, is an experienced software developer and implementation partner. The company, strongly inspired by the Semantic Web vision of Tim Berners-Lee, has many years of experience. We supported the growth and adoption of the field by initiating and driving the Sesame project, one of the popular RDF triple stores.more...
+ Semantic Web
"The Semantic Web is a web of data. There is a lot of data we all use every day, and its not part of the web. I can see my bank statements on the web, and my photographs, and I can see my appointments in a calendar. But can I see my photos in a calendar to see what I was doing when I took them? Can I see bank statement lines in a calendar? Why not? Because we don't have a web of data. Because data is controlled by applications, and each application keeps it to itself. The Semantic Web is about two things. It is about common formats for interchange of data, where on the original Web we only had interchange of documents. Also it is about language for recording how the data relates to real world objects. That allows a person, or a machine, to start off in one database, and then move through an unending set of databases which are connected not by wires but by being about the same thing." -- W3C Semantic Web Activity homepage
Aduna today: helping your business
Today Aduna powers a growing number of initiatives by creating new technologies for feature-rich interaction and semantic data integration. Aduna's role in these initiatives is the provider of technology. We cooperate with a growing number of companies, organisations and developers in the world. At the moment Aduna's main activity areas are: Digital forensic investigation & e-Discovery, Enterprise Search, Open source projects Sesame and Aperturemore...
Main activity areas
- Digital forensic & e-discovery: In the joint venture Vound Aduna develops, markets and sells Intella, a tool for digital forensics and e-discovery.
- Open source projects Sesame and Aperture: Sesame is one of the popular RDF storage frameworks. For more information see the Sesame website. Together with the German DFKI, Aduna initiated the open source project Aperture, a Java-based extraction framework. More information here.
Extensive network
The heart of the company is formed by IT professionals with a long track record in the business. They have worked together for more than a decade. Aduna is a well networked company:
- W3C: Aduna staff members worked on new W3C data and query standards, for example OWL and SPARQL.
- Academia: Aduna has strong ties with the academic community. Frank van Harmelen is on the scientific board of the company.
- EU research projects: Aduna participated in several EU-funded research projects. The OnToKnowledge project ignited the development of Sesame.

AOL News has a new home! The Huffington Post.Click here to visit the new home of Politics Daily!
Other news nuggets: On ABC, the president declined to say whether he would sign a bill stripping ACORN, the controversial community organizing group, of federal funding.
A loyal South Side Chicagoan, Obama told NBC he is still rooting for the White Sox to get to the World Series, a mathematical but not realistic possibility.
On CNN, Obama said the First Family wants to get the H1N1 vaccination. But if serum is in short supply, "We will stand in line like everybody else. And when folks say it's our turn, that's when we'll get it." Obama flubbed the name of daughter Malia, calling her Maya, the name of his half-sister.
Obama is not making immigration reform a priority, he told Univision: "I'd really like to solve our immigration problem, but I can't solve every problem all at once."
And on CNN, CBS, NBC, and ABC, Obama scolded television bookers for making stars out of people who engage in "rude" behavior rather than civil discourse.
Obama got his most relentless questioning from ABC's George Stephanopoulos over the proposal to require everyone to buy health insurance. Though he did not embrace mandated purchase of health insurance during his primary contest with then rival Hillary Clinton, now he does. The thinking behind a health insurance mandate is this: If people wait until they are sick to buy coverage, the insurance system cannot work. (And the rest of the public is forced to subsidize ER visits for those who refuse to get insured.)
Stephanopoulos tried to get Obama to acknowledge that forcing everyone to buy insurance was a form of a tax increase. To buttress his argument, he read Obama a dictionary entry about taxes.
Still, Obama did not bite.
"That's not true, George. ... The fact that you looked up in Merriam's dictionary, the defination of a tax increase, indicates to me that you're stretching a little bit right now," Obama said.
Obama said "I absolutely reject that notion" that a mandate is tantamount to a tax increase.
On NBC, he said he does not feel compelled to sign any health care bill Congress sends him.
"And I actually think that we've agreed to about 80 percent of that if you look at all the bills that are coming through all these committees. The key is now just to narrow those differences. And if I don't feel like it is a good deal for the American people, then I won't sign a bill."
A public insurance option is on life support now; the Senate Finance Committee bill did not include it. It's been a bit of a guessing game over whether Obama will jettison or insist on a public option during end-game bargaining with the House and Senate.
But there are still many more steps to go in the legislative process, and on "Al Punto" Obama discussed the public option with Jorge Ramos. "I absolutely do not believe that it's dead. I think that it's something that we can still include as part of a comprehensive reform effort."
Obama is getting pressure on the public option from the left and right. "What I've said," he told NBC, "is the public option, I think, should be a part of this but we shouldn't think that, somehow, that's the silver bullet that solves health care."
On CNN, Obama praised the parts of the Senate bill that get coverage for people with pre-existing conditions and get rid of "some fine print that says that they've got to pay huge out-of-pocket expenses or they hit a lifetime cap. All those reforms are in there, and that's really important."
Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell and House GOP leader John Boehner both said today that Obama should start over on health, something that's just not going to happen right now.
Bob Schieffer on "Face the Nation," David Gregory on "Meet the Press" and Stephanopoulos on "This Week" all tried to pin Obama down on whether he will send more troops to Afghanistan.
"What I'm not also gonna do, though, is put the resource question before the strategy question. Until I'm satisfied that we've got the right strategy I'm not gonna be sending some young man or woman over there beyond what we already have," Obama told Gregory.
"We're not gonna put the cart before the horse and just think by sending more troops, we're automatically going to make Americans safe," he said to Schieffer.
Obama told Stephanopoulos, "We're going to test whatever resources we have against our strategy, which is, if by sending young men and women into harm's way, we are defeating al Qaeda -- and that can be shown to a skeptical audience, namely me, somebody who is always asking hard questions about deploying troops -- then we will do what's required to keep the American people safe."
McConnell said on CNN that Republicans would support sending more troops to Afghanistan and urged Obama to make up his mind.
"We think the time for decision is now. As Senator McCain has pointed out, when you delay a decision like this, you, arguably, maybe, unnecessarily endanger the lives of our soldiers. If we need to change strategy, if we need to increase the troop strength there, I think the president will enjoy a lot of support among Senate Republicans."
On the subject of race and Obama, the first African-American president was asked by King on CNN and Schieffer at CBS about the anger on display at town halls across the country and former President Jimmy Carter's comment that racism was the root cause.
"Now I think that what's driving passions right now is that health care has become a proxy for a broader set of issues about how much government should be involved in our economy, particularly coming off a huge economic crisis," Obama said on CBS.
Obama told CNN it's really resistance to change: "You know, as I've said in the past, you know, are there people out there who don't like me because of race? I'm sure there are. That's not the overriding issue here. I think there are people who are anti-government. I think that there are -- there's been a longstanding debate in this country that is usually that much more fierce during times of transition or when presidents are trying to bring about big changes."
The Obama media blitz --and the White House continual quest to reach out to different audiences -- continues on Monday, where the president will be a guest on the David Letterman show on CBS.

Ron Wilson sentenced to nearly 20 years in federal prison
GREENVILLE COUNTY - Before he was led out in handcuffs, Ponzi schemer and former Anderson County Council member Ron Wilson said he had cleared his conscience.
Wilson, 65, was sentenced Tuesday in a Greenville federal courtroom and he will spend the next 19 and a half years behind bars for running a decade-long scam that ended with $57.4 million lost from nearly 800 investors.
"I took from my brother and from my daughter," Wilson said before he was sentenced. "I am extremely sorry for what I have done. My conscience is clearer now than it has been in years."
He said the Ponzi scheme started small and snowballed until it was destined to fall apart, and fall apart it did in March.
Wilson convinced retirees, friends, business associates and others to clean out their retirement accounts, cash out their insurance policies and put as much money as possible into his silver investment business where he would monitor "key indicators" for large profits. He never bought silver for most of his clients, telling them that the silver was in a Delaware depository that had never heard of Wilson.
His standing in the community — in both elected and appointed offices — increased his sentence because he had abused his role of public trust.
Wilson's Atlantic Bullion & Coin closed after a criminal complaint letter was made public, his business was searched by the U.S. Secret Service and he was arrested before admitting two counts of mail fraud in July.
His sentencing Tuesday hearing brought about 80 people, many of them investors, including his brother and daughter.
Judge J. Michelle Childs said she had read each of the hundreds of written victim statements, which together painted Wilson as a man who preyed on the elderly and who was "cruel, heartless and without conscience."
Childs said she also factored in Wilson's cooperation with authorities and his quick admission of guilt, along with his public service, and his financial and personal commitment to causes including churches and sustainable farming.
But, the judge said, Wilson's crime was "one of the most significant incidences in our state."
Wilson's sentencing was largely based on the scale of his Ponzi scheme, one of the biggest in state history.
While the charges — two counts of mail fraud — may have not sounded severe, especially since hundreds of fraudulent statements were mailed, the sentencing guidelines were what ultimately mattered in the end, said Bill Watkins, assistant United States attorney.
"This was not a one-time bad decision," Watkins said. "This was a long-term Ponzi scheme, from 2001 to 2012. It was not 'I shouldn't have carried that gun or tried that drug.' "
Taking more than $50 million and affecting more than 250 people added years and years to the sentencing range, while his early admission of guilt, having no prior criminal record and cooperation with authorities took off many months.
The final range was between 188 months and 235 months. Childs chose the maximum.
"I hear the plea of these victims," she said.
Seven victims also testified in person, after getting speaking slots in a lottery from among the hundreds of investors.
Jeffrey Cavender said Wilson had no conscience.
"I know you could not have spent all the money you stole, it's hidden," he said.
Ned Chamblee said it should have been a public execution, before he walked away and muttered at Wilson.
John Brittain said Wilson "stole the lives of 798 people and their families and their hopes, their dreams."
Thomas Lee Turner said he once had $5 million on Ron Wilson's books but now is struggling to pay the taxes he owes on money that is no longer there.
"Basically my 37 years of dedicated employment was trashed," he said.
Like many others, Turner said the effects of the loss were not limited to his pocketbook. His wife had a relapse of multiple sclerosis and he has lost his trust and his family's future.
Turner and his wife had donated 1,000 ounces of silver each to their church and college. The donations will end up biting both institutions in the back because any profit from the scheme will need to be paid back to a receiver, who is working to make restitution to the victims.
Wilson's sentence includes full restitution of $57,401,009.
The seized books had about $95 million listed, but about $10 million of that was for incentives paid to investors for bringing in new money and that $10 million never existed.
Those who profited from Wilson's business will likely have to give the profits back or face lawsuits. Jeff Merriam, Wilson's lawyer, said that out of the investors, 172 people had deposited a total of $17 million and collectively had withdrawn $47 million.
The $57 million figure is how much was actually lost in the investment scheme, according to a spreadsheet presented by the U.S. Secret Service.
Wilson's brother, Tim Wilson, testified that the scam was not the way that their parents raised them.
"I too was a victim of this scam," the younger Wilson said, through tears. "He never intended to steal that money."
The rows of investors laughed and scoffed as Childs admonished them to stay quiet.
"I'm not here to condone his actions. I haven't seen anyone as broken as he is ever since the night he called me and told me what he's done," Tim Wilson said.
He said his brother had accepted complete responsibility.
Former Anderson County Council member Bill McAbee and former South Carolina Board of Education member Diane Sumpter testified that they had worked well with Wilson, who had served on both groups. Wilson's tenure as the national leader, commander-in-chief, of Sons of the Confederacy was not mentioned, nor was his financial support of political causes and politicians throughout the decade that he ran the Ponzi scheme.
Carolina Farm Stewardship Association executive director Roland McReynolds said Wilson's work with sustainable agriculture had included financial and educational efforts, and an impressive Simpsonville farm that Wilson's daughter operated. The farm was significantly funded with money from the Ponzi scheme and the farm was equipped with solar panels, historic wooden wagons and rare animal breeds. Wilson was a patron of the association and had served as a board member.
Other farmers and sustainable-farming supporters spoke or wrote letters to the judge, attesting to Wilson's hard work and effort to build a community of farmers.
Watkins said that while agriculture was an honest way of living, "it is not honest when you're using stolen money to fund it."
Wilson's supporters said he might have run a scam and they offered little defense there, but they emphasized that the man they knew had done good works in the other parts of his life, especially in caring for his family.
Prosecutors said Wilson used the money to play the part of a country gentleman and live a life of luxury.
"But rather than a country gentleman, he was more of a feudal lord, living off what he took from others," said Bill Watkins, the assistant United States attorney.
Watkins said that despite Wilson's cooperation, "there is a large amount of cash that's gone and months later, he's unable to say where it's gone."
Watkins said that Merrium, Wilson's attorney, came to prosecutors Tuesday with more information about Wilson's assets, although that additional information was not addressed further in court.
Because of the terms of his plea deal, Wilson will not be able to appeal the sentence unless he alleges that his defense attorney was incompetent or that prosecutors were malicious.
Wilson is in the custoty of U.S. marshals and will be sent to a federal prison, which will be assigned in the coming weeks.
Before he was handcuffed, Wilson said that he agreed with much of what the investors had said.
"I ran the Ponzi scheme by myself and no one else knew about it," he said. "The remorse and sorrow and sleepless nights and everything I experienced over the past months will be with me for the rest of my life."
Watkins said his office has not finished investigating. Wilson's efforts were earlier mentioned in court Tuesday as having been instrumental in leading to the arrest of 60-year-old Wallace Lindsey Howell, on charges of fraud in connection to Wilson's scheme.
Wilson said he had hoped he would be able to pull out of the tailspin.
"About ten years ago I started walking off that path I had been on," he said. "The beast I created got me."

1983 Honda Civic DX 1.5L from North America
Just about zero problems whatsoever with the car. The only time it ever kept me from getting to where I wanted to go was when the thermostat stuck closed and had to be changed at 180000 miles.
Other regular fixes over the life of this car have been (and well worth it)...
Timing belts change every 90000 miles.
Alternator changes about every 200000 miles.
CV joints about every 4 to 5 years from the rubber wearing out and letting road grit into them.
Headlamp Wiper Turn Signal combo switch on the wheel wore, and was changed at about 300000 miles.
Carburetor rebuilt once sometime after 300000 miles also.
EGR emissions valve worked on a couple of times, and a couple of catalytic converters changed as well, though this may not apply as part of the car in some areas.
Once we did a pre-chamber service, which is the most major service without doing a valve job.
General Comments:
This is probably the best car I have ever owned. All of the above are very minor contributions in keeping such a pleasantly reliable and economical car running.
It has gotten a consistent 47 miles per gallon highway and 35 miles per gallon city even to this day, and this is not a hybrid vehicle.
I have done the normal things like getting new batteries and brakes once in a while, but this car is still on the original clutch and transmission as well.
Just cannot say enough good about this car! It has always passed smog tests with relative ease, and this is the first year it is having some difficulty, due probably to some carbon build-up, but the compression is still good! Because of the performance of this car, other friends and family members have bought almost a dozen cars from the same dealership.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

Toth, Cranbrook Academy Student Exhibits Featured at Ross Art Museum
January 13, 2004
DELAWARE, OHIO -- The artwork of Carl Toth, photography artist in residence at Cranbrook Academy of Art, will be featured at Ohio Wesleyan University's Richard M. Ross Art Museum beginning Thursday, Jan. 15. Toth's exhibition, Carl Toth Retrospective, will appear at the Ross Art Museum simultaneously with Cultural Radar, a group exhibition of art by Cranbrook graduate students.
Carl Toth Retrospective includes selections of Toth's early work through his most recent photo based images. Toth's art is influenced by contemporary literature and poetry, and is included in collections at museums and centers including the Museum of Modern Art, The International Museum of Photography at the George Eastman House, The Center for Creative Photography and The Art Institute of Chicago. Toth is the recipient of three fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Cultural Radar combines a variety of art from the graduate students of Cranbrook. The exhibit includes, among others:
Justin Kronewetter, professor of fine arts at OWU and director of the Richard M. Ross Art Museum, says of the exhibition, "The work in these two shows is clear evidence that Carl Toth is both a highly accomplished, creative artist as well as an effective educator whose students are among the most inventive and skilled young artists enrolled in any graduate program in the country."
Both Carl Toth Retrospective and Cultural Radar open Jan. 15 and run through Feb. 15. The exhibitions are free and open to the public. Also open to the public is a slide presentation to be given by Carol Toth Jan. 22 at 7 p.m. in Edgar Hall Room 121. The public is also welcome to attend a reception for Toth and all of the student artists beginning at 8 p.m. in the galleries of the Ross Art Museum.
The Richard M. Ross Art Museum is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday 10 a.m. - 5 p.m., Thursday 10 a.m. - 9 p.m. and Sunday 1 - 5 p.m. The museum is closed Monday and Saturday. Special visits may be arranged by contacting the museum at 740-368-3606 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Story: Substance, Structure, Style, and the Principles of Screenwritingby Robert McKee
The Story Problem
The Decline of Story
Imagine, in one global day, the pages of prose turned, plays performed, films screened, the unending stream of television comedy and drama, twenty-four-hour print and broadcast news, bedtime tales told to children, barroom bragging, back-fence Internet gossip, humankind's insatiable appetite for stories. Story is not only our most prolific art form but rivals all activities--work, play, eating, exercise--for our waking hours. We tell and take in stories as much as we sleep--and even then we dream. Why? Why is so much of our life spent inside stories? Because as critic Kenneth Burke tells us, stories are equipment for living.
Day after day we seek an answer to the ageless question Aristotle posed in Ethics: How should a human being lead his life? But the answer eludes us, hiding behind a blur of racing hours as we struggle to fit our means to our dreams, fuse idea with passion, turn desire into reality. We're swept along on a risk-ridden shuttle through time. If we pull back to grasp pattern and meaning, life, like a Gestalt, does flips: first serious, then comic; static, frantic; meaningful, meaningless. Momentous world events are beyond our control while personal events, despite all effort to keep our hands on the wheel, more often than not control us.
Traditionally humankind has sought the answer to Aristotle's question from the four wisdoms--philosophy, science, religion, art--taking insight from each to bolt together a livable meaning. But today who reads Hegel or Kant without an exam to pass? Science, once the great explicator, garbles life with complexity and perplexity. Who canlisten without cynicism to economists, sociologists, politicians? Religion, for many, has become an empty ritual that masks hypocrisy. As our faith in traditional ideologies diminishes, we turn to the source we still believe in: the art of story.
The world now consumes films, novels, theatre, and television in such quantities and with such ravenous hunger that the story arts have become humanity's prime source of inspiration, as it seeks to order chaos and gain insight into life. Our appetite for story is a reflection of the profound human need to grasp the patterns of living, not merely as an intellectual exercise, but within a very personal, emotional experience. In the words of playwright Jean Anouilh, "Fiction gives life its form."
Some see this craving for story as simple entertainment, an escape from life rather than an exploration of it. But what, after all, is entertainment? To be entertained is to be immersed in the ceremony of story to an intellectually and emotionally satisfying end. To the film audience, entertainment is the ritual of sitting in the dark, concentrating on a screen in order to experience the story's meaning and, with that insight, the arousal of strong, at times even painful emotions, and as the meaning deepens, to be carried to the ultimate satisfaction of those emotions.
Whether it's the triumph of crazed entrepreneurs over Hittite demons in GHOSTBUSTERS or the complex resolution of inner demons in SHINE; the integration of character in THE RED DESERT or its disintegration in THE CONVERSATION, all fine films, novels, and plays, through all shades of the comic and tragic, entertain when they give the audience a fresh model of life empowered with an affective meaning. To retreat behind the notion that the audience simply wants to dump its troubles at the door and escape reality is a cowardly abandonment of the artist's responsibility. Story isn't a flight from reality but a vehicle that carries us on our search for reality, our best effort to make sense out of the anarchy of existence.
Yet, while the ever-expanding reach of the media now gives us the opportunity to send stories beyond borders and languages to hundreds of millions, the overall quality of storytelling is eroding. On occasion we read or see works of excellence, but for the most part we weary of searching newspaper ads, video shops, and TV listings for something of quality, of putting down novels half-read, of slipping out of plays at the intermission, of walking out of films soothing our disappointment with "But it was beautifully photographed . . ." The art of story is in decay, and as Aristotle observed twenty-three hundred years ago, when storytelling goes bad, the result is decadence.
Flawed and false storytelling is forced to substitute spectacle for substance, trickery for truth. Weak stories, desperate to hold audience attention, degenerate into multimillion-dollar razzle-dazzle demo reels. In Hollywood imagery becomes more and more extravagant, in Europe more and more decorative. The behavior of actors becomes more and more histrionic, more and more lewd, more and more violent. Music and sound effects become increasingly tumultuous. The total effect transudes into the grotesque. A culture cannot evolve without honest, powerful storytelling. When society repeatedly experiences glossy, hollowed-out, pseudo-stories, it degenerates. We need true satires and tragedies, dramas and comedies that shine a clean light into the dingy corners of the human psyche and society. If not, as Yeats warned, ". . . the centre can not hold."
Each year, Hollywood produces and/or distributes four hundred to five hundred films, virtually a film per day. A few are excellent, but the majority are mediocre or worse. The temptation is to blame this glut of banality on the Babbitt-like figures who approve productions. But recall a moment from THE PLAYER: Tim Robbins's young Hollywood executive explains that he has many enemies because each year his studio accepts over twenty thousand story submissions but only makes twelve films. This is accurate dialogue. The story departments of the major studios pore through thousands upon thousands of scripts, treatments, novels, and plays searching for a great screen story. Or, more likely, something halfway to good that they could develop to better-than-average.
By the 1990s script development in Hollywood climbed to over $500 million per annum, three quarters of which is paid to writers for options and rewrites on films that will never be made. Despite a half-billion dollars and the exhaustive efforts of development personnel, Hollywood cannot find better material than it produces. The hard-to-believe truth is that what we see on the screen each year is a reasonable reflection of the best writing of the last few years.

NHL season gets shortened again, with games canceled through Dec. 30
Get the 1500 ESPN SportsWire delivered to your inbox daily, and keep up with all the news in Twin Cities Sports
NEW YORK -- A person familiar with the decision says the NHL has canceled all games through Dec. 30.
The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the official announcement isn't expected to be made until later Monday afternoon. There had already been 422 regular-season games lost because of the ongoing lockout, and the latest cuts will claim 104 more. The NHL also has canceled the New Year's Day Winter Classic and the All-Star game.
The cancellation of just 16 more days of the season could perhaps signal there is hope of a deal to begin play in early January. Negotiations between the league and the players' association broke off last week, but NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said on Sunday that the sides are trying to restart talks this week.© The Associated Press

To understand how bad things have gotten for Texas, you only need to know about the blocked extra point against Kansas State.
Blocking an extra point isn't normally a bad thing.
To understand how bad things have gotten for Texas, you only need to know about the blocked extra point against Kansas State.
Blocking an extra point isn't normally a bad thing.
Then again, this isn't a normal season for Texas.
A Longhorn lineman got a hand on the football and batted it back, but it bounced right to Wildcat kicker Josh Cherry. He scooped it up, scurried to the left and beat a pair of pursuers to the pylon.
One point became two.
A good play went bad.
Ditto for this season.
Heading into Saturday's game against Oklahoma State, Texas has lost five of its last six games. It has lost in successive weeks to Iowa State, Baylor and Kansas State. It has fallen to last place in the South Division.
OK, who are you guys in the burnt orange and what have you done with the Longhorns?
Their current record: 4-5.
I had to double-check and make sure that was correct. It just doesn't seem possible that Texas must win its last three games simply to finish above .500.
Didn't Texas play Alabama for the national title earlier this year?
It was actually 10 months ago this past Sunday that the Longhorns played in the BCS national championship game. Everyone suspected there could be a downturn this season — that's what happens when you lose players like Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley — but a slip would mean losing a game or two, not five.
A powerhouse sliding on the heels of great success is nothing new. Two years after Ohio State won the 2002 national title, the Buckeyes went 8-4 in the regular season. A year after playing for a national title and with a slew of returning All-Americans, Oklahoma struggled to a 8-5 record a year ago.
Yet, neither of those teams was ever in the disarray that is evident at Texas.
Heck, Texas coach Mack Brown didn't think a slide like this was even possible for his program.
"I thought we were beyond that," he told reporters in Austin last week. "I thought we had enough depth, enough confidence."
Apparently not.
So, what is wrong with the Longhorns?
It starts with the offense. This is a group void of superstars. It has no edge-of-your-seat running backs, no hold-your-breath wide receivers. It has game-changers, no difference-makers.
How is that possible?
Texas is as fertile a football recruiting ground as you'll find anywhere, and for the University of Texas to be without an offensive superstar is either a failing of talent evaluation or player development. In either case, coaches are to blame.
