I was standing only 100 yards away from the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge during Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, Ontario 363 days ago.
I will spend Canada Day 2012 in my hometown of Marietta, among my fellow Mariettans.
No offense to the people of Georgia, since I myself grew up in this state, but going from being in the company of royalty to being no where near royalty is kind of a step down. Let's be honest here. When was the last time you saw a tabloid newspaper plastering an Average Joe and Jane's faces on its cover under the headline "When will they make the heir and the spare?"
We are about to enter a very patriotic week for North America. Canadians celebrate Canada Day (the anniversary of its founding) on Sunday, while Americans celebrate the Fourth of July/Independence Day/Excuse-To-Play-With-Semi-Dangerous-Explosives Day three days later.
We're essentially entering what I am hereby proclaiming as Canamerica Week. It's part Canada and part America.
I want to reflect back on Canada Day 2011 for a moment. I know I've written about it before, but just indulge me here.
One of the things that has stuck in my mind about that celebration on Parliament Hill is the overall sense of everyone coming together and overcoming any political differences that might have separated them on any other day.
There were all of the people laughing and dancing in the streets throughout the afternoon. Some people were waiving huge Canadian flags in the middle of street parties. Then there was just a general sense of euphoria later on "The Hill" while all of these Canadian musicians, ranging from rock groups to "First Nations" groups, performed and fireworks exploded over the Parliament Building.
With this being Canada of course many of the fireworks exploded in bright flashes of red and white light.
Some overly giddy girl who must have been in her early 20's came up to me as I was leaving Parliament Hill after the evening festivities and asked if she could put a "Canada" sticker on me.
You don't see those kinds of big celebrations that bring people together in a sense of unity too often in the United States these days. You get the small town parades, but those are little more than people showing up, cheering for a parade and immediately going home. Atlanta dumped its big Fourth of July parade but it still has the fireworks show at Lenox Square Mall.
That has the appeal of over-accessorized driftwood however.
There is the Peachtree Road Race but my idea of a perfect unifying Fourth of July event does not include hanging out with sweaty, smelly people who are gasping for air after running 26 miles.
My favorite Fourth of July would have to be two years ago when I took a day trip up to Helen. I got to float from shop to shop in the downtown Alpine Village area and take some great photographs. There were horse drawn carriages that were pulled by horses dressed up in cute patriotic outfits. People drifted down the Chattahoochee River in inner tubes.
You could duck into the Hansel & Gretel Candy Kitchen and buy a candy apple or you could run across the street to Granny Funnel Cake and walk out with a tasty pasty.
It's best to get out of the big cities and head for the small towns where you can see Americans just enjoying themselves. People can enjoy themselves in the big city but the enjoyment is eventually broken by car horns honking and people showing a complete abandonment of civility in an effort to be the first person to get out of town. It is the polar opposite of the Canadians as they left their big city celebration.
My advice is to just find your perfect place to display your patriotism. You might even consider making it into a week-long Canamerica party to celebrate Canada Day and the Fourth of July.

I've read that yucca can only be eaten once cooked. What's your take on this? Thanks!
damzfly has it! ive seen them at alot of grocery stores lately they are especially cheap in the asian supermarkets generally half the price there than the others
Yucca root is a long tubular brown root that is quite heavy. The rind is a thick brown with a wax coating. If you google it you can find one, but to me it looks like an over sized yam crossed with a tree root.
awesome!! What does a yucca root look like. I have arthritis symptoms and im only 29...

The idea for Yandex. Street Photographer came to Daniill Maksyokov on a Friday night, while he was surfing the internet [...] "In Yandex.Maps there's an analogue of Google Street View called Panoramas but it only has views of Russian cities and some former-Soviet countries [...]" say Maksyokov. "What's more, faces, labels, registration numbers of vehicles and other personal data are not blurred … As a result you have a complete sense of presence and can see everything from a fresh perspective." — calvertjournal.com
Google's Street View is slowly covering more and more of the world's surface, but it still has holes. Now though, you can help fill them—and all you need is an Android phone or DSLR.
Google has just launched a new Street View feature which allows any user to recreate the usual Street View experience by stringing together photo spheres along paths which they define. — Gizmodo

Healthcare Behavioral Assessment Selects The Best Fit
Prophecy Behavioral Assessments identify clinicians with behavioral characteristics that predict high performance, such as integrity and conscientiousness, while flagging potential flaws such as hostility or substance abuse. Using four dimensions of behaviors "personality, attitudes, cognitive, and engagement" this assessment allows you to select the clinician that is best fit for your organization.
The Prophecy Behavioral Personality Assessment is built upon the well accepted "Big 5″ concept of core personality traits and also includes a "Teamwork" scale as well as a "Good Impression" scale. Each specialty and department within a facility have a unique set of personality attributes that work best. With our job specific benchmarking, Prophecy allows you to determine which personality attributes are best suited for the specialty/job that you are hiring for.
Some available personality categories include:
- Registered Nurse
- ER Nurse
- ICU Nurse
- MedSurg Nurse
- Nurse Assistant
- Medical Technician
- Manager
The Prophecy Behavioral Attitude Assessment measures six areas of potentially counterproductive behaviors by a self-descriptive inventory that taps six substantive areas of concern as well as a Good Impression (validity) scale.
- Conscientious (Dependability)
- Hostility (Aggression)
- Integrity (Honesty)
- Substance Abuse
There is little question among personnel psychologists that cognitive ability "the ability to process and retain information quickly" is a necessary skill that transcends most jobs. For most jobs there is a range of cognitive ability associated with on-the-job success; a higher level of cognitive ability is not necessarily associated with job success. What matters is the fit with the requirements of the job.
The Prophecy Behavioral Engagement Survey assists you in visualizing the applicants engagement with their chosen specialty and their past and/or future employers.

BATON ROUGE - Like many states, Louisiana has a tax structure that is unfair to low- and middle-income families, a study examining tax structures released today says.
But the tax revision plan pushed by Gov. Bobby Jindal, dropping income taxes in exchange for higher sales taxes, would make it worse, says Matthew Gardner, head of the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy and lead investigator on the report.
"It's crystal clear that to shift away from income taxes to sales taxes would make an already unfair tax system even more unfair," Gardner said. "From the respect of tax fairness, it's ...

|Changes in coagulative and fibrinolytic activities in patients with intracranial hemorrhage.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 16671428 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|OBJECTIVE: To investigate whether any changes occur in the coagulative/fibrinolytic cascade in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) or hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH). DESIGN AND METHODS: Subjects included 143 patients with intracranial hemorrhage (SAH, n = 50; HICH, n = 82; ROSC-SAH [return of spontaneous circulation after cardiopulmonary arrest due to SAH], n = 11). Coagulative and fibrinolytic factors were measured in blood samples taken on admission. RESULTS: The prothrombin fragment 1+2 level was significantly higher (p < 0.005) in SAH patients than in HICH patients. The fibrinolytic factors (plasmin alpha 2-plasmin inhibitor complex, D-dimer, or fibrinogen degradation products) in SAH and ROSC-SAH were both significantly higher than those in HICH, but the significance of difference was stronger in the case of ROSC-SAH (p < 0.05). DISCUSSION: Both coagulative and fibrinolytic activities were altered after the onset of SAH. These results demonstrate that the coagulative/fibrinolytic cascade might be activated via different mechanisms in different types of stroke. It remains unclear, however, whether a significant alteration of the fibrinolytic cascade in patients with ROSC-SAH might be a nonspecific phenomenon attributable to the reperfusion after collapse.

The Kentucky State football team has put itself in position to do something no other KSU football team has ever done: win the Southern Intercolleigate Athletic Conference.
The Thorobreds can wrap up their first-ever SIAC championship with a win over Fort Valley State University Saturday afternoon at Alumni Stadium. Moreover, a win over FVSU and KSU better positions itself for a spot in the NCAA Division II playoffs.
The players have taken notice, and everyone wants to come out on the high end of the totem pole.
"Just to do it we can be remembered as one of the best teams in school history," quarterback Joe McBride said, "or just one of the other teams at the school."
The Thorobreds were ranked seventh in the most recent NCAA Division II South Region football poll. A ranking of fourth or better at the end of the season will qualify K-State for the playoffs.
For KSU to be successful, the defense will have to stop the run. Fort Valley State features two bruising running backs - Duron Croson, a preseason all-American, and Derrick Wimbush, a highly touted junior college transfer. Both stand 6-3 and 220 pounds and are the key to the Wildcats' offensive aresenal, KSU coach Donald Smith said.
Wimbush was named the SIAC's offensive player of the week after Fort Valley's 46-6 win over Stillman last week.
"For them to be successful they'll have to run it, and they'll plan on running it over you," Smith said. "Our game plan is to stop their run and make them throw it."

(Prueba de hemoglobina glucosilada (hemoglobina A1c))
Hemoglobin is the substance inside red blood cells that carries oxygen to the cells of the body. Glucose (a type of sugar) molecules in the blood normally become stuck to hemoglobin molecules - this means the hemoglobin has become glycosylated (also referred to as hemoglobin A1c, or HbA1c). As a person's blood sugar becomes higher, more of the person's hemoglobin becomes glycosylated. The glucose remains attached to the hemoglobin for the life of the red blood cell, or about 2 to 3 months.
A blood test can measure the amount of glycosylated hemoglobin in the blood. The glycosylated hemoglobin test shows what a person's average blood glucose level was for the 2 to 3 months before the test. This can help determine how well a person's diabetes is being controlled over time.

No doubts about it, the 2014 Canadian Grand Prix was a thriller. A first time winner in Daniel Ricciardo, Mercedes' run of wins brought to an abrupt end by power issues and a big accident on the last lap that led to fisticuffs on Twitter. Add in perhaps the most dramatic final five laps of a grand prix in years, and you have a race that looks likely to go down as a classic. Prepare to be wooed by Dan Paddock, in Richland F1's Alternative Review.
Dan's very much the man
Daniel Ricciardo, where to start? In just a year he has gone from rightfully worrying about his future at Toro Rosso after a series of thumpings from Jean-Eric Vergne, to being a winner in F1.
Certainly, there was an element of luck apparent in his first win, without the MGU-K issues it is unlikely that anyone aside from either Nico Rosberg or Lewis Hamilton would have won. But the fact is that on the very first occasion that Mercedes have looked vulnerable this year, it was Ricciardo, not Vettel, who was there to pick up the pieces.
Take nothing away from Sebastian, he was excellent all weekend long, his qualifying lap to haul the under-powered Red Bull onto third on the grid was particularly exceptional, but at that one single moment when a victory was up for grabs, he found himself unceremoniously stuck behind the Sergio Perez's Force India. Ricciardo though, he was up the road forcing his way past the ailing Mercedes of Rosberg for the race lead and eventual win, his first in Formula One.
The Australian's win was hugely popular, not just amongst fans, but also journalists and his own contemporaries, with tributes flooding out in the early hours of Monday morning. It is without doubt the most popular win that I have experienced in my short time covering the sport, which in hindsight might not be saying much considering that the first ten races I covered were won by just two different men, one a fan of peak caps and dogs, and the other with a tendency to upset people when he waves his finger about.
Daniel's Canada win might not magically fix Red Bull's still-apparent power issues, but considering the state the team was in when they arrived in Australia for the season opener, they must be pleased with how far they have come on since then, especially to win at the most unlikeliest of circuits.
Ta-rah Adrian Newey
Yep, Adrian Newey is just about done with F1. On Sunday morning Red Bull confirmed that the man who masterminded their rise from paddock class clowns to four-time champions is ready for a new challenge and will be reducing his F1 role after 2015.
The 2015 Red Bull will be the last car that the aero wizard will pen for the Formula One team, even if he is set to remain in an advisory role with the organisation, whilst also working on other motorsport projects for the fizzy drinks firm.
Newey's vocal opposition to the current rule set started late last year, and it has been clear since then that he was not pleased with the restrictions evident in the new regulations. It seems that a man who has won just about everything conceivable in Formula One has simply had enough.
What he will delve into from here is still an unknown, with rumours of a sportscar project, a road car and a link-up with Ben Ainslie for a shot at the America's Cup all touted.
Regardless, Newey will be a hard man to replace as the head of the Red Bull's aero department. With Peter Prodromou pinched by McLaren it will be interesting to see who Red Bull look to appoint, be they from within the current design devision, or from another team, which could lead to further legal wranglings.
Hogies' and MGU-K's
Not often this season has there been a need to feel sorry for Mercedes, well unless you're a Hamilton fan. Poised to make history with a sixth consecutive 1-2 finish seemingly on the cards, the teams efforts came crumbling down in the space of just a couple of laps, as both cars suddenly slowed with MGU-K issues. A round of pitstops later and Lewis Hamilton was out of a race for the second time this year. Queue a Twitter meltdown.
While the prospect of Abu Dhabi's double points bonanza means the likelihood is that the drivers' title battle is unlikely to be settled until the final lap of the last grand prix, the failure for Hamilton, coupled with Rosberg's second place now leaves the Brit 22 points adrift of the his team-mate in the drivers' championship.
After the disappointment of being beaten outright in Monaco by Nico, Lewis will be bitterly disappointed to have haemorrhaged more points to his rival at a track that he was widely tipped to dominate at. Hamilton will have his fingers crossed that some of his own bad luck ends up on the other side of the garage, otherwise it'll be a slow struggle to eat back into Rosberg's points advantage.
Canadian Grand Prix problems aside, expect Mercedes to once again be strong in Austria. If the reliability of the W05 holds, you have to assume that the race winner will be one of the Mercedes men, such is the clear dominance of the Bracklet-based squad.
Handbags at Marussia
After a fairytale ending to Marussia's Monaco Grand Prix, as Jules Bianchi collected not just his, but also his team's first points in Formula One, the conclusion to the team's Canadian race weekend was an absolute nightmare, as both Max Chilton and Jules Bianchi came together on the opening lap, with both cars were eliminated on the spot.
With just 11 cars still running at the finish, Sunday's race would have been a prime opportunity for the Banbury-based outfit to follow up their Monaco points with another strong performance. Instead, their were blushes all round as the team was forced into an early packing up job while the two drivers took to blaming each other for the accident.
Aside from the needless clash during the race, the team once again demonstrated good pace across the weekend, with clear evidence during qualifying on Saturday that the team is making steady progress on the stagnant Sauber – who were awful again – while dropping Caterham – both of whose drivers failed to finish.
Marussia will be keen to forget Canada, but with Sauber and Caterham both failing to score the team holds onto that elusive ninth place in the constructors' championship. They may have missed a perfect opportunity to add to their points tally last weekend, but things are certainly looking up for the boys and girls at Marussia.
Perez vs Massa
It's the final lap of the Canadian Grand Prix, and Felipe Massa and Sergio Perez have just clashed at the entry to turn one, putting both drivers into the barriers and out of the race on the spot.
At first glance it appears that Massa simply runs straight into the back of the Force India before skating across the track at high speed, narrowly avoiding Sebastian Vettel's Red Bull at the apex of turn one before slamming heavily into the barriers.
Both drivers are extracted from their cars as a safety car is deployed, securing Ricciardo's win a lap early.
Following a brief check-up at the on-track medical centre, the pair are whisked to a local hospital for precautionary checks. Given the all clear, Massa and Perez are discharged and head off on their merry way, that is until the Mexican, tried in absence, is slapped with a five-place grid penalty by the race stewards for causing the accident.
The issue was seemingly put to rest until Monday morning, when comments surfaced from Felipe Massa and Rob Smedley accusing Perez of dangerous driving and his team of negligence in keeping him out on track knowing fully well that he had a problem with his brakes.
In quite the staunch manner, Force India responded to the accusations via their own Twitter feed, posting a number of pictures supposedly supporting Perez's claim that it was in actual fact Massa, not the Mexican that caused the accident. The team concluded it's defence with a final message, which reads: "We're not used to [airing] our grievances publicly. But when others do and accuse us of playing with others' safety, we are compelled to reply."
It is not everyday that you see a team publicly disagree with the findings of the FIA race stewards, and with Force India evidently feeling slighted, it is not beyond the realms of possibility that the team will look to have Perez's five-place grid penalty for the Austrian Grand Prix overturned. Good luck with that one boys.
Kimi Raikkonen to be sacked, silly season has officially commenced
One rumour doing the rounds over the weekend – and I'm really stressing the word rumour about as far as I can go here – was that Ferrari were ready to drop the luckless Kimi Raikkonen after he was once again heavily beaten by his team-mate Fernando Alonso.
With the Finn on a colossal retainer, and locked-into a contract until at least the end of the year, do not expect to see Kimi going anywhere anytime soon, despite what countless sites and three letter news agencies tell you.
But while Raikkonen continues to traipse home in 10th place, do not expect the stories to go away. Rumours aside for a moment, the Finn's season really has been dire so far. As was the case last year, expect a summer of speculation over his future unless the results pick up. Believe it or not the 2007 champion is still yet to finish higher than seventh since his return to Ferrari. Here's to a long summer of Hulkeneberg to Ferrari headlines. I can barely contain my excitement…
Welcome back Austria
Austria, we hardly remember you. With a minor facelift and a splash of dark blue paint the A1 Ring of old has been reformed into the Red Bull Ring.
As Red Bull Racing's home away from home, the pressure will be on for the team – bankrolled by the dollars of the Austrian Dietrich Materschitz – to produce a result in front of the expectant crowds, while for Mercedes there will be a huge incentive to upset the Red Bull party.
It'll be F1's first visit back to Austria in 10 years, and the paddock will have a new member in two weeks time, as our man Jack Leslie makes his own F1 debut.
As always, stick with Richland F1 as we bring you all the news and updates from the Austrian Grand Prix

Vali Twin Cinema
204 N. Bent Street,

The Vali Twin Cinema was built in 1919 as a vaudeville theater called the Lyric Theater. It quickly changed to silent films and eventually to "talkies". This theater received its first major remodeling in 1948 with seating increased to 600. The Vali Cinema was purchased in 1979 by Alan Mercer. In the mid 90's, The Vali Cinema was remodeled again. This time a second screen was added and seating was reduced to around 400. Today, the Vali Twin Cinema is open and shows first run movies.

Throughout the year, we are always looking for collaboration opportunities that offer our Alumni designers the chance to showcase their latest collection in more intimate environments than a traditional catwalk show.
While London Fashion Week is well attended by press and buyers, smaller-scale press days offer key editors, reporters and bloggers the chance to see the collections up close, getting a tangible feel for the design aesthetic and craftsmanship.
Most recently, Fashion Fringe collaborated with London's stunning luxurious Corinthia Hotel in hosting a special event during February's London Fashion Week. We took over two of the Corinthia's beautiful Penthouses (the Writers and Musicians) to present three of our Finalists from the past three years – Elliot Atkinson (2009), Alice Palmer (2010) and Nabil Nayal (2011).
Similarly, in September last year, as part of our Vogue Fashion's Night Out activity, we partnered with Covent Garden London to hold a small showcase event exclusively for our key bloggers, who were all given a sneak peak at the forthcoming Finalists' collections for the 2011 Fashion Fringe catwalk show.
Our winning designers and Finalists also work with their PR teams on hosting their own private views and press days each season, where key media guests have the opportunity to review the pieces up close – having initially seen them on the catwalk, often at London Fashion Week.
We assist all our Alumni designers in promoting the details to the Fashion Fringe community and wider fashion industry.

Can cocoa help with memory?Comment on this story
London - A daily dose of chocolate could help keep dementia and Alzheimer's at bay, a study suggests.
Researchers found that consuming cocoa every day helped improve mild cognitive impairment – a condition involving memory loss which can progress to dementia or Alzheimer's – in elderly patients.
For the study, 90 people aged 70 or older diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment were split into three groups of 30 and given either a high, medium or low dose of a cocoa drink daily.
The drink contained flavanols – chemicals associated with a decreased dementia risk which are found in a variety of foods, including cocoa products such as dark chocolate.
The participants' diet was restricted to eliminate other sources of flavanols, such as tea or red wine.
Their cognitive function was examined using tests of factors including working memory and processing speed.
Researchers found those who drank the high and medium doses daily had significantly better cognitive scores by the end of the eight-week study in a number of categories, including working memory.
Those given the higher doses of the flavanol drink improved far more than those given the lowest dose, the study, published in the journal Hypertension, found.
Insulin resistance and blood pressure also decreased in those drinking high and medium doses of the flavanol drink.
Doctor Giovambattista Desideri of the University of L'Aquila in Italy, lead author of the study, said: "This study provides encouraging evidence that consuming cocoa flavanols, as a part of a calorie-controlled and nutritionally-balanced diet, could improve cognitive function.
"Larger studies are needed to validate the findings, figure out how long the positive effects will last and determine the levels of cocoa flavanols required for benefit."
Dr Laura Phipps, of Alzheimer's Research UK, said: "Cocoa-based treatments for brain function would likely have patients queuing out the door, but this small study of flavanols is not yet conclusive." - Daily Mail

Book scores 26 for win as North Harrison wins 7th grade Harrison County Tourney; 8th grade is 2nd
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 10 February 2010 00:00
The North Harrison Middle School 7th grade girls' basketball team won the Harrison County tourney 42-33 last week at Corydon Junior High School, and 26 points by the Lady Cats' Jill Book helped to seal the deal.
The Lady Cats were behind 6-4, when Book hit a three pointer, was fouled, and hit the free throw attempt to put her team ahead for good at 8-6.
North led by a slim 10-8 margin at the end of the 1st quarter and it was still a slim 17-13 edge for the Cats at the half time break.
In the second half, the 3rd quarter didn't exactly do the Lady Cats any favors, as Corydon outscored them 9-8.
The Lady Cats got 10 points from Book in the final period as they pulled away from Corydon. Book had an old fashioned three point play, and hit on a total of 8 of 9 free throws in the 4th. Book hit on a 9 of 12 free throws in the game (75 percent).

Area vegetable growers to meet in Starlight
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 10 February 2010 00:00
For more than 35 years, vegetable growers from Southern Indiana and Northern Kentucky have been coming to Starlight to learn more about modern production of fresh vegetables. Commercial vegetable producers, like any other farmer, face many production and marketing challenges in bringing the world's highest quality products to the consumer's kitchen table. Weeds, diseases, insects, and weather uncertainties can all add up to impact the complexity of producing a safe, nutritious, and economical food supply. It can certainly be a challenge for a vegetable grower to keep up-to-date regarding the latest varieties and tools available, along with the occasional regulatory change that they need to comply with.
Growers (including home gardeners) wishing to spend a few hours learning about the latest information in the field of vegetable crop production are encouraged to attend the annual Starlight Vegetable Growers Meeting on Tuesday, February 23, 2010. This annual educational program will begin with registration from 5:45 to 6:15 p.m. There will be an opportunity for participants to visit with commercial exhibitors throughout the evening to keep in touch with the latest pest control options, vegetable varieties, tools, and marketing/packaging products.

Borden boys fall to Orleans
Written by Administrator
Wednesday, 03 February 2010 00:00
For the past three years ranked Orleans has played Borden and come up short. This had to be a concern for Orleans coach Tom Bradley. It didn't seem to be a concern for his players.
In the first quarter Borden came at Orleans ignoring their current ranking of 4th in single A ball. Brandon Beam and Dalton Wagoner drove to the middle against Orleans 6'6" Center, Cameron Carroll. In three minutes they had forced two fouls on him and he was on the bench.

Kiteboarding will feature at Sail Melbourne
Ahead of a crucial vote for the Events for the 2016 Olympics the International Kiteboarding Association has released a promotional designed to show the sport at its best.
Hear from sailors what they think about format and equipment, get first hand information from RS:X sailors like Dorian van Rijsselberghe, Zac Plavsic, and Race Officers like St. Francis' Director of Race Operations, Robbie Dean.
It should be noted that the equipment advocated by the International Kiteboarding Association is that of a Formula or Box Rule for the Olympic event. It is claimed in the video that this will allow competitors of different physical sizes to sail equally against each other. The IKA is against the use of one design equipment for the Olympic Event.
The RS:X currently used in the Olympic Windsurfing event, is a One Design piece of equipment to allow supplied equipment to be used at the Olympics, and major events, and provide some measure of control on costs and prevent the development of expensive one-off/custom built equipment. The counter argument from the IKA is that market forces control prices and development.
Typical kiteboard kit under the Formula Rule is a single board, three rigs and three fins - all customised to the sailor, and able to be purchased from multiple sources. Typical one design windsurfer is a single board, rig and fin - purchased from a single supplier or franchisee.
The full rule for the Formula Kite has not been published (and will not be done so until February 2013) but the published basics of the rule can be viewed by http://www.internationalkiteboarding.org/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=7571&=102!clicking_here
This is Kiteracing ! from International Kiteboarding Ass. on Vimeo.
All current Olympic classes are one designs of two types - either single manufacturer one designs such as the Laser, or tightly measured (to very tight tolerances) by multiple manufacturers. The last rule design boat in the Olympics was the 5.5 metre keelboat. The America's Cup AC72 catamaran is a more current example of a box-rule boat. Many keelboat classes are box-rules, such as the Open 60, however the Sailing Olympics has become increasingly orientated to the equality of equipment at a controlled cost. A topical example being the supply of sails and spars for the new 49erFX class from North Sails and Southern Spars specialist one design manufacturing facilities in Sri Lanka. The same plant also supplies rigs for the Olympic 49er class and many others.
It is somewhat surprising that the ISAF could select an equipment which is open design and for which no rule has been published. At the recent trials for new equipment for the Womens Olympic Skiff and Mixed Multihull all boats tested were required to be 'production ready' meaning that the shape, features and weight were frozen at the time of the trials and most had existing class rules already in place and tested in competition. They were all one designs, not open classes. The same arguments advanced to justify the open class in the kites could be used in most Olympic events, on the basis that competitors turned up with say the fastest singlehander they could develop, within a length, beam and draft constraint (ie fitted a box), and the fastest was the winner.
It is claimed that 'competition between manufacturers encourages production of quality equipment for sale at affordable prices'. Again this same claim could easily be applied to other classes for production of an open singlehander.
According to the International Kiteboarding Association 'the 'Formula Kite' appendix effectively addresses the demand to control price and availability of Olympic equipment without going 'One Design' by further tightening the 'box rule' concept. The 'Formula Kite' appendix applies to equipment used for ISAF graded kiteboarding events, any other kiteboarding events are governed by the standard IKA class rules.'
According to Sail-World's research a internationally competitive kiteboard package (one board, three kites) is around NZD 12,000 compared to around NZD15,000 for an RS:X or Laser
The IKA has also announced the first African Championship to be staged in Egypt and claimed to be the first African Championship staged for an Olympic event.

Unfortunately Grooveshark, is no more. They left fans a goodbye message on their site, then they packed up their groovy dorsal fins, and headed for friendlier waters. I'm going to share a little of their closing post here, if that's ok. An epitaph, perhaps;
"Dear Music fans,
Today we are shutting down Grooveshark..."
It goes on to offer what seems to be a humble, and sincere apology for infringing on copyrights. They added a short list of alternative sites for music, and then they beg fans to "respect the artists, songwriters," and everyone involved in the industry, by using only licensed music services. Then it closes with...
"Yours in music,
Your friends at Grooveshark
April 30, 2015..." *sniffles, and dabs at her eyes with a tissue*
What? Too sarcastic? Kidding aside, I actually really loved Grooveshark. I was a member for several years. I'm sad that they had to shut down.
Mammoth task, excellent reference resource. Due to the sheer size of it though there'll always be the odd problem with some services -- most notably in the field of song lyrics, where time and again the issue of copyright crops up.
I can't for the life of me see why I shouldn't be able to pick up on all the words of some of my favourite songs -- all the words, because very often the lyrics get lost. Major so-called "lyric finders" like LyricWikia, mentioned on here, repeatedly stumble in their searches, reporting that "unfortunately, we are not licensed to display the full lyrics for this song at the moment. Hopefully, we will be able to in the future. Until then. . . how about a random page?"
Er, well, thanks but no thanks. I'm looking to singalong to the The Last Resort by The Eagles, and very much doubt I'm going to be arrested as I drive along because my voice is in breach of copyright. LyricWikia's offer of "a random page" ain't exactly what I had in mind. Good thing, then, that azlyrics.com is still around.
www.ClipConverter.cc/ is a better alternative to KeepVid for YouTube, Vimeo, etc. downloading, as of lately. No need for Java or other plugins, works with 1080p, is simpler to use, supports more video services, and has no ads that I could notice, or they must be completely unobtrusive. I say definitely replace KeepVid as the recommendation with this one!
On line notes organisers, note makers etc.
Does anybody know why none of these programs offer a simple import facility for existing data we might have on our Windows machines, such as a comma delimited, tab delimited or other simple file.
In the 21st century we really shouldn't need to re-enter all our existing data at the keyboard to make full use of these online programs. None of the ones listed appear to offer such a capability as far as I can see, including on line database programs I have also found.
Any suggestions?
I use a free resource booking service http://www.supersaas.com/
I suggest a new category "Shared resource (Room) booking"
ONEBUDGET.COM is GONE.
will not come up.
I'm getting a message that knowcase.com will shut down on March 31.

Answers with Zombies
The Ey, otherwise known as Jamie, asks:
Who did come up with the 24 hour day? What sense does that make?
Well. There's this thing called Universal Coordinated Time, which of course was invented by The Universe. Yes, the same Universe that sends me emails and has failed to make me rich even though I have sent it loads of bonus ninjas and grass. I'm thinking that I don't have enough sparkles in my books, so here is a teaser from my current WIP:
"I've been sparkling for you," he said sparklingly, the words sending a sparkly shiver down her (you guessed it) sparkly spine.
And then, his sparkling eyes caught fire. Sparklingly.
Best seller, bay-bee.
And then there's The Whit Bra. She asked all this:
I am going to leave all my comments without using the.
What was first thing you noticed about Slayer that you liked?
Slayer and I met while playing Ultimate Frisbee. My friend spent weeks talking about how she wanted to use his ass as an end table.
Not kidding.
And no, I don't know what that means.
But yes, I'm putting it in a book anyway.
When did you decide he was One?
Ummm... one what? A complete lunatic? The kind of guy who will brainstorm enema of the week programs with me? A man who can talk some serious smack about American Idol and actually render it amusing?
The perfect man to father my children so we can take over the world!?!?!
Ahem. Sorry.
Actually, the reality is pretty boring. I woke up one morning and said, "You know, I'm going to move in with him." And I told him and he said, "Okay."
Maybe if you imagine violins playing in the background, it'll be more interesting. Especially if the violins are being played by zombies.
What made you decide to write for young adults?
Well, this might have something to do with the fact that I have the sense of humor of a 14 year old, but maybe not. Mostly, I write for teens because of something Slayer said to me once. He said that he'd never liked reading before. All the stuff he was forced to read was boring, so he pretty much stopped reading until I started feeding him books that I knew he'd like. This was right after the birth of my twins, and I thought, man, there's no way I want that to happen to my kids.
And here's the thing: it's the kind of thing I love to read. (Gasp!) I was trying to write all of this serious stuff. The kind of books read by people sitting in coffee houses and wearing berets while they smoke clove cigarettes. And you all know that I am NOT a clove-cigarette-and-beret kind of girl.
So it all kind of came together, and I've got the two best jobs in the world. Mother to three zombie-tag-playing children, and YA author.
Wow. That was all serious. Bring on the zombie kickline.
And finally,
I have no answer to this. Frankly, I have written a lot of emails to The Universe asking the very same question. What crap, Universe? What crap?
More answers later.

You trying to write serious stuff? Teehee. I can just imagine you musing in a cafe somewhere with that berret and...wait, no I can't.

haha I did that serious thing too... and everyone said... dude your character talks like she's fifteen... I was all, "Um, but that's how I talk, k?"

Okay, I was totally the same way trying to be a "serious" author and sucking miserably. And then I started reading MG fantasy books with my son and thinking they were brilliant. It was like a light clicked on. THIS is what I should be writing! THIS is what made me love to read as a child!
Sorry, I should have done that without using "the" or couched it on Slayer's end table. Hmm...

BaGhana out to end trophy droughtComment on this story
Johannesburg – Ghana should be favoured to bag the African Nations Championship (Chan) at a second try on Saturday when they take on Libya, who've defied the odds to be surprise finalists of the continent's second tier tournament.
The Black Stars lost out to DR Congo in the inaugural Chan in 2009, but their semi-final win over rivals Nigeria this year is sure to pump them up ahead of Saturday's final showdown at Cape Town Stadium (8.30pm).
While they have been indisputably one of the best sides on the continent in recent history, and have had an impressive achievement list which includes qualifying for three World Cups in succession and reaching at least as many Africa Cup of Nations semi-finals, Ghana are without a major title since 1982. Saturday, then, presents them with a perfect chance to end years of wait, albeit the Chan may not be nearly as glamorous as the World Cup or Africa Cup of Nations.
As his players broke into song inside the Free State Stadium following the penalty shoot-out win over Nigeria, Ghana coach Maxwell Konadu was full of praise for his men, saying they had been given little chance of getting this far, especially as they had bombed out in the first round in the last edition of Chan in 2011.
"Nobody gave us a chance. Back home, people said we won't make it with this team, but here we are in the final," Konadu said. "I'm proud of my boys, because to beat Nigeria and reach the final takes some strength. The rivalry between the countries is immense."
Ghana were hugely indebted to goalkeeper Stephen Adams, who, in spite of carrying a knock, produced a stupendous save to foil Nigeria right at the death, before he stopped the Super Eagles' second penalty and gave his team a chance of establishing a big lead.
The Black Stars in the end triumphed 4-1, all their kickers converting on the back of impressive support from Bloemfontein Celtic fans.
"They have been great since we got here," Konadu said of Celtic's Siwelele band. "From the very first day they showed us love, and that's very positive. We couldn't have done it without their support."
It's now off to Cape Town for Ghana, who had played all their games in Bloemfontein. What will fill them with hope is that their opponents, Libya, are also unfamiliar with the Mother City, having been initially based in Bloemfontein but travelled to Polokwane for their quarter-final against Gabon.
The Libyans were awful in their 5-4 penalty shoot-out win over Zimbabwe, who really had themselves to blame for losing after squandering numerous chances. Even Javier Clemente, the Libya coach, conceded his men were fortunate finalists: "I am very happy that we have reached that final but l have to congratulate Zimbabwe. They were the better team. We remained believing we could get something out of the match and as often is the case with football we managed to win the penalty shoot-out," Clemente said.
Zimbabwe will take on Nigeria in a third-place play-off at the same venue (5pm), but neither Ian Gorowa nor Stephen Keshi was disheartened after their sides showed grit to reach the last four.
"The only thing disappointing was the way we lost," said Zimbabwe's Gorowa. "We dominated possession and had a few clear cut chances but credit goes to Libya for slowing down the game to their advantage."
Keshi hailed Ghana 'keeper Adams for his heroics, and could not find fault with his own charges. "They had a stunning goalkeeper. He did a wonderful job and there's little we could do about it," said Keshi.
He added some of the players in Nigeria's Chan squad would be rewarded with promotion into the senior team, and could be headed to the World Cup in Brazil.
"These boys have been brilliant. I spent just six weeks with them – I wish that was six months. What they did after we lost the first game to Mali was great. They've shown courage, and I have some names in my pocket of those I will be taking to Brazil. I won't tell you yet, though, who they are."

Washington Huskies
Head Coach: Lorenzo Romar
Last Season's Results: Conf. 7-12 (8th), Overall 16-16. Post Season: None
Backcourt: Washington will look to Venoy Overton, Quincy Pondexter, and Elston Turner to run the backcourt. Overton took the starting point guard position away from Justin Dentmon last season, and should have good numbers as the full-time starter this year.
Small forward Quincy Pondexter has never lived up to his potential as an incoming freshman. Washington needs him to step up in a big way during his third year as they lack a proven offensive threat outside of Jon Brockman.
Elston Turner isn't the most polished guard offensively, but he can knock down the open jumper or create his own shot. That combination is something that Washington needs. But if Turner can't perform quickly and consistently, Suggs, Thomas, and Dentmon may get the nod instead.
Frontcourt: Jon Brockman has been the MVP player for Washington over the last few years. Heading into the season, he is the only proven center to return. Granted, Brockman is more of a powerfoward, but due to the lack of quality big men for the Huskies, he's been forced to play center.
That may be at an end this year as the Huskies are looking Matthew Bryan-Amaning to step up and Tyreese Breshers to be an instant impact. Bryan-Amaning gets the nod early on because of his experience, but don't be surprised if the thick-bodied Breshers' takes over that spot due to his hustle and shot blocking abilities.
Bench: Justin Dentmon will push Venoy Overton, and should see some significant minutes for the Huskies, and provide the fresh legs and energy boost that Washington needs off the bench.
Artem Wallace will spell Brockman and the other front court players, but unless he improves from last season, he's nothing more than a stop gap for limited minutes.
Scott Suggs, Isaiah Thomas, Tyreese Breshers, Justin Holiday, and Joe Wolfinger round out the bench. Holiday is the only one that you can guarantee won't see a lot of minutes. The others' minutes will vary based upon matchups and recent performance, until later in the season when Romar will have secured a good rotation.
Key Departures: The Huskies lost two seniors, Ryan Appleby and Tim Morris, this off-season. Appleby was their sharp shooter, who took a back seat later in the season as he realized the team needed to push the ball and give teams a more athletic look. Morris was the fifth leading scorer, and was a decent role player for the Huskies last year.
Key Recruits:
PF-Tyreese Breshers - Breshers is built like Charles Barkley - short and thick. He has great hustle, and good athleticism. He's a good shot blocker that plays bigger than his 6'6" frame would indicate. He could become a starter quickly if Matthew Bryan-Amaning doesn't step up his game.
SG- Scott Suggs - Suggs has great ball control and knows how to edge the defense to get inside for a shot. While he's tall for a SG, he's thin and could be pushed around a bit by the stronger guards. He'll need to work on his outside game, but has the mechanics to become a solid 3-point threat.
SG- Isaiah Thomas -Thomas is a meager 5'8" but will provide the long range shooter than the Huskies lost when Ryan Appleby graduated. He will be a surprising guard for the Huskies, despite being undersized. He will get the nod a few times this year because of his shooting capabilities.
SG- Elston Turner- Turner has a more rounded game than any other Washington recruit. He's got better range than Suggs, can create his own shot, and won't be at a mismatch when it comes to facing up defensively against some of the bigger guards that either Suggs or Thomas will be.
*All Players with a link go to a highlight video.
Strengths: Jon Brockman is a stud, and the go-to guy for Washington. They will be a versatile team that can run or play in a half-court set.
Weaknesses: They are a young team, so expect to see a lot of freshmen mistakes. They also have a lot more questions and development needs at each position (Brockman excluded) than they do answers. They are not overly impressive on either side of the ball.
Key Dates:
Nov 24 @ Kansas
Dec 4 @ Oklahoma State
Jan 29 @ Arizona
Feb 14 vs. Oregon
Outlook: As a young team with a good recruiting class, they have a lot of potential and will make strides throughout the year. Romar & Co. can set the foundation this year to put the Huskies back on track to competing for a PAC-10 Title. Don't be surprised if they have an upset or two in them somewhere.
Projected Finish: Ninth in the PAC-10

POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Sep 23, 2010
The man accused of robbing and sexually assaulting a 25-year-old woman in a stairwell last week at Wahiawa Shopping Center is a convicted sex offender who arrived on Oahu just 10 days earlier, said Vickie Kapp, deputy prosecutor.
An Oahu grand jury returned an indictment yesterday charging Tyrone Smith Jr. with first-degree sexual assault, kidnapping and second-degree robbery.
Circuit Judge Richard Perkins reduced Smith's bail yesterday to $250,000 from $500,000.
The woman told police she was walking down the stairwell at the California Avenue center Sept. 15 when a man came up from behind her, demanded money, sexually assaulted her and took her belongings.
Smith took the woman's MP3 player, jewelry, money and credit card, Kapp said.
Two days later, a woman told police that a man with whom she shares a Lakeview Circle apartment in Wahiawa may be the suspect in the sexual assault and robbery.
The woman, and another person who shares the apartment, told police Smith had bragged about the robbery, described how he slammed the woman to the ground and put his knee on the her head, and showed them the items he stole, including the woman's credit card.
Kapp said Smith has a felony assault conviction in California.
When police arrested him Friday, Smith showed them an Arizona driver's license.

Ninety-two of 100 representatives in the Indiana House showed up for Monday's session on Jan. 27, 2014, at the Indiana Statehouse in Indianapolis.
Opponents of the same-sex marriage ban now face an even bigger uphill battle in the Indiana Senate, after the amended version of the constitutional amendment passed the House by a 57-40 vote on Tuesday.
While the number of boisterous spectators outside the chamber had dwindled, the debate between senators got personal and passionate in the chamber known for its civility and polite decorum.
Wider support for the revised amendment was expected, though, following Monday's vote to eliminate the amendment's second sentence that banned civil unions. The move made it more palatable for ...
