Point to point: Group hopes to promote orienteering to everyone
PAYNES CREEK RECREATION AREA -- "OK, do you see anything that stands out from the map to what you can see out here?" Dr. Tom Thomas asked the 10 people who tromped through the golden-grassed and oak-studded hills of this swath of U.S. Bureau of Land Management Land near Red Bluff.
Everyone stopped to look at their maps. Compasses came out. Eyes were shielded by palms as the group tried to convert flat topographic map features to the three-dimensional world around them.
And one by one, the fixed features leapt from the paper, like a three-dimensional computer rendering that gets covered in color and shadows.
"Hey, that's the power lines," said Tracy Evans as she traced the dotted line on the map with an index finger.
"Right, the key is staying found," said Thomas, a veteran of 84 adventure races, including last year's Primal Quest race through the Utah desert. "When you can read features on a map and line them up to what you can see out here, that's when you've made a big leap."
The exercise was a lesson in orienteering.
The running and hiking sport -- other names include foot orienteering or just foot-O -- challenges people to traverse cross-country through various terrain with a map and compass to visit, in sequence, control points indicated on the map. The event is timed, and the object is to get to each control point -- usually a marker on the course that has a punch to punch a card racers must carry -- in the shortest amount of time.
"Our goal is to get a club together to promote adventure racing and orienteering in the north state," said Thomas. "It is a tremendous sport, and anyone can do it."
To that end, Thomas and Evans have started the Shasta Orienteering and Adventure Racing club. The mission is two-fold: Act as a conduit for beginner adventure racers to acquire the skills they need to compete (adventure racing includes map-and-compass navigation, mountain biking, running/hiking and kayaking) and to teach orienteering skills to the public and host orienteering races.
Celene Edmonds, Jennifer Henry and Edmonds' uncle, Mike Edmonds, huddled with their maps and took a bearing. The trio will compete in their first adventure race during Saturday's Tahoe Big Blue Sprint Adventure Race.
"We're just looking to get more familiar with the map and compass," Celene Edmonds said. "Any little bit will help."
"I think we should take this trail," Henry said. "(The control point) has to be right over there."
Another bearing and the trio found the pink sheet of paper that marked a control point -- the second of six marked on the topo map -- tied to a tree near where Paynes Creek flowed into the Sacramento River.
"OK, next one," Celene Edmonds said.
"Over that ridge," Henry said.
"Yep," Jim Edmonds said. "Let's go."
Previously a military exercise, competitive orienteering began in Norway in 1897, according to the International Orienteering Federation. Today, 67 countries -- each with its own governing body -- belong to the IOF.
"It allows an average guy like me to be competitive," said Thomas, who has had 10 knee operations. "It's not about being the fastest, or being the most fit -- it's all about making all the right decisions on the course.
"That's why orienteering and navigation appeals to me, you really have to think."
For more information on SOAR, call Evans at 223-0400 or 945-4227 or Thomas at 524-3807. People can also get on the SOAR e-mail list at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Orienteering is the sport of navigation with map and compass. The object is to navigate from point to point by choosing the best routes in the shortest amount of time. Here's a glossary of terms:
• Control point: A marker on the course where participants need to get to. The marker usually has a punch so people can clip their control cards.
• Bearing: The direction of travel as indicated by the compass.
• Catch feature/backstop: an obvious feature on the map and ground located beyond a control that will indicate the target feature has been over-shot.
• Contour: A line on a topographic map that connects points of equal elevation.
• Orienting: Matching the orientation of the map to the features on the ground. The map can be oriented either by comparing the map directly with the terrain or by using a compass to orient to north.
• Thumbing: A technique for holding the map, using your thumb to indicate your present location.

Cardinal can't close out title game
Stanford led 20-12 at halftime but couldn't overcome 26.5 percent shooting or UConn
Originally Published: April 6, 2010By Mechelle Voepel | Special to ESPN.com
SAN ANTONIO -- How bad was her ankle? It was bad. Jayne Appel's eyes watered a few times as she talked about the pain she felt individually, and that Stanford felt collectively.
But overall, this wasn't a teary Stanford locker room. The mood was less sad and more ticked off. Stunned. Irritated. Disbelieving.
"We had the No. 1 team in the country -- this amazing team, everybody's talking about them -- we had them down at halftime. They had 12 points," Stanford junior ...

POSTED: 1:56 p.m. HST, Mar 28, 2013
LAST UPDATED: 1:56 p.m. HST, Mar 28, 2013
Hawaii's seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was unchanged at 5.2 percent in February from January, the state Department of Labor and Industrial Relations reported today.
Although unemployment rate was flat the underlying labor force data suggest there was a slight deterioration in the labor market in February.
The number of unemployed who were looking for work rose to 33,750 in February, an increase of 50 from January. The number of employed, meanwhile, fell by 1,000 to 617,250. The result was a net decline in the overall labor force, which is a combination the two categories of workers.
Hawaii's 5.2 percent February unemployment rate compared to a 7.7 percent rate nationally.
The statewide and national data are adjusted for seasonal variations, such as the hiring of temporary workers for the holiday shopping season.
County data are not seasonally adjusted. The unemployment rate fell to 4.5 percent from 4.8 percent for Honolulu County, to 7.2 percent from 7.5 percent for Hawaii County, to 6.4 percent from 6.5 percent for Kauai County, and to 5.6 percent from 5.7 percent for Maui County.
The labor force data are derived largely from a telephone survey of households. A separate survey of businesses showed that the number of nonfarm payroll jobs fell to 608,700 in February, down a net 2,500 from January. However, the number of payroll jobs in February was up 9,100 from the same month a year earlier.

Two Salinas men were found guilty Wednesday of a 2010 gang shooting that left a 16-year-old boy dead, the Monterey County District Attorney's Office said.
A jury determined Ricardo Martinez, 21, and Santiago Ortiz, 22, guilty of murder and shooting into an occupied vehicle for the benefit of a criminal street gang following a three-week trial before retired Appellate Court Justice Wendy Duffy, the District Attorney's Office said.
The two are scheduled for sentencing on Dec. 5, they said, facing a minimum of 50 years to life in prison.
On July 28, 2010, the District Attorney's Office said, Martinez and Ortiz, along with two others, drove to the intersection of Capitol and West Market street with the intention to commit a retaliatory gang shooting. They said Ortiz sneaked up to a parked car and opened fire - striking Frank Sanchez Jr., who was seated inside. The District Attorney's Office said Sanchez Jr. died from a gunshot wound to the head. They said Ortiz got into a car, driven by Martinez, and the men fled the scene.
The two were later arrested through an investigation led by the Salinas Police Department, the District Attorney's Office said. Several witnesses testified at the trial about their involvement in the murder, they said.

Many a hunter cut their teeth on small game as they pursued cottontail and fell immediately in love with the "song" of the beagle. A circling cottontail on a frosty morning became a delight to both young and old.
I recall those dinners my grandmother prepared, how good a meal of rabbit, mashed potatoes and corn could be as I eyed what we called desert - a huge bowl of rice pudding.
We took squirrels as well, a secondary choice while hunting cottontail, but later a primary choice of my father who could spend countless hours propped against a large oak tree. It seems that both were in great abundance back then, and limiting out was not all that difficult.
We did, however, put endless miles on the soles of those leather hunting boots, something as a youngster I looked forward to with great enthusiasm.
Squirrels, my father and I agreed, were one of the toughest animals to skin. I learned over and over again that they need to be taken care of in the woods before they get cold. If you don't, it makes the task that much more difficult.
But prepared properly, squirrels are one of the tastiest game animals out there.
Later, we began to hunt pheasant and my grandfather, a "dyed-in-wool" cottontail hunter and beagle trainer, seemed to favor pheasant beyond all others. He became enamored with the colorful bird and the dogs soon learned they were part of the quarry.
Hunting with my father and grandfather are days I will always cherish, and it is tough going afield without them in the back of my mind. However, we all must move forward, and I can tell you that this year Karen and I have put in more time trying to bag a squirrel than any other game we have pursued.
We have spent what seems like endless hours sitting in wait. There have been evenings that simply offered no shots and others that delivered us misses.
I would bet my bottom dollar that we'll be back out there during the extended season, when the chill will be replaced with brutal cold.
The soft earth will now be frozen solid; the leaves that have drifted to the forest's floor will crunch underfoot. Most trees will be barren, hopefully increasing our ability to see the gray squirrel we seek.
Karen has already decided on a recipe for them and has been pursuing her own as well as those of others. Maybe that adds to the challenge. Maybe that increases our desire to be "out there."
How can we fail at collecting what has been called the most abundant game animal in Pennsylvania?
Back in deer season as we hunted the elusive whitetail, we saw gray squirrels, and we also heard the cackle of a cockbird. It reminded both of us that the season for pheasant will return as well, and after taking a few back in October on a rather mild day, we are hopeful to gather more.
I'm reminded of the father and son I saw enjoying a beautiful day as they gathered three cockbirds during a day's hunt. I guess it reminded me somewhat of yesteryear, different of course in many ways but the same in many others.
The importance of fathers and mothers taking their children with them to a place filled with the harsh realities of life should be considered important. The excellent table fare nature provides from a renewable resource is an added bonus.
Grouse hunting returns as well, and taking a brace of grouse can be one of the most difficult challenges one can face. A mountain filled with green briars will produce ragged canvas hunting pants and jackets, and you can expect to take a hike while pursuing these true native birds.
A good dog is a near-must, and some experience with a smoothbore will up your chances. "There is a lot of room around them" is an often-spoken phrase that holds more truth than I care to think about.
Yes, they're back, and expanded hunting opportunities are available to everyone.
In other news, in an apparent attempt to add money to its funds, the Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission is offering a three-year fishing license valid through 2015 and a five-year license valid through 2017. Customers who buy multi-year licenses save money by not having to pay transaction and processing fees each year, according to the PFBC.
For example, a customer who buys a five-year license will save $6.80. Anglers can also purchase multi-year trout/salmon, Lake Erie and combo permits and experience similar savings. Visit the PFBC website for more information about pricing and answers to frequently asked questions.
"Beginning Dec. 1, we will start selling three-year and five-year fishing licenses for the first time in our history," said PFBC Executive Director John Arway. "Customers want options when they buy products, and fishing is no different."
The whole idea just might work and it may even increase the number of anglers in the Keystone State. Although I'm not certain, nor is anyone, that giveaways and prizes will attract first-time license buyers, it can't hurt.
"In addition, we're offering a number of rewards exclusively for customers who buy a multi-year license, including a free online subscription to our flagship publication, Pennsylvania Angler and Boater magazine, along with various offers from popular retailers," added Arway. "Other incentives being offered are also pretty attractive. They include various pieces of fishing equipment and several discount coupons which can be used at sporting goods stores."
It may just be that Christmas gift you've been looking for, as many retailers have already started the countdown to Christmas Day before the Thanksgiving Turkey becomes cold.

It was one of those calls where the Customer just wants to vent to someone perceived to be in authority. They are upset at your Company for something or other, and have already taken the sales team to task. Now, it's your turn. Some might say that the weight of the Customer on your bottom line should determine the amount of obsequiousness you serve. I would argue that in the scheme of things, it really does not matter the size of the Customer, falling on one's sword can repair damage quicker than a protracted rant session that ultimately devolves into he said, she said.
Defensiveness is a natural reaction when one is being blamed unfairly. Years of therapy have helped me to deal with this issue in my personal life. Going on the defensive just allows the Customer to continue to belittle and fuels their fire for complaint. I take the opposite tack and, when appropriate, almost immediately apologize for the error, and take responsibility for the alleged misdeed upon myself. This strategy helps to deflect perceptions of failing from the local team (who will inevitably be dealing with this person on a much more intimate level and for a longer period of time). Taking the heat also can ingratiate you with your clients who work in the trenches, as it signals to them that you are willing to take one for the team, as it were.
I am usually well prepared for these confrontational calls, as the team will have briefed me ahead of time that so and so is a real piece of work. My first move when encountering such people is to try and find a connection of some sort. This tactic can unfortunately further irritate the complainant, but it is worth a shot in the beginning. As the discussion progresses, the connection may be put to use in order to form an empathic bond with the Customer. This accomplishes two things; it signals that you understand the issue, and not only do you "get it" but you empathize with their position. Now, this person may well have an unhinged case of the "Napoleonics" but more often than not, in real life, they are feeling pressure from superiors just as you experience.
Some may say that such tactics are disingenuous, but we're not talking about personal conversations here — this is business. Widget A arrived at the dock in disrepair and the procurement officer is in a snit because he was to have delivered the Widget to Utah last week. Business is at a standstill in that office and he is getting the heat from six directions. It is not a reflection of your personal self-worth that any of this occurred, it is a simple business SNAFU. One that you have been asked to rectify. And fixing such issues is yet another area where you can prove the worth of your department to the business side.
For some reason or other, when Customers get a "lawyer" on the phone, things become more amplified in terms of importance. No longer are they dealing with the local team, they are speaking to someone in Corporate. Someone with the perceived power to "do something." And I have to admit, being able to pull this off with Customers is a bit of an art. It is not always pleasant, and it may feel demeaning on some level. But again, it's just business. Maintaining relationships with customers and clients is paramount to the success of your department. Proving that you are not simply a cost center, but a resource to be utilized and relied upon in times of crisis, no matter how pedantic or mundane, can cement the perception of value in the minds of those who truly matter — folks in charge of your budget.

Partner Robert J. Baror heads the firm's health care law practice, in addition to working with Ms. Thatcher on employment litigation matters. Mr. Baror has represented physicians, hospitals, and integrated health care providers with matters such as the Stark Law, the Anti-Kickback Statute, the False Claims Act, franchise medicine, physician group practice bonus structures, physician practice acquisitions, physician recruitment deals, hospital-physician joint-ventures, and physician employment agreements, as well as other health care law related matters.
Thatcher Law Firm is not just a provider of legal services. We are a strategic partner committed to helping you reach your goals, whether that is avoiding litigation through client counseling or mediation, resolving cases in a businesslike manner when that is the appropriate approach or trying the cases that need to be tried.

Because we are a regional firm, focusing on representing clients in Maryland, the District of Columbia and New York, we keep our overhead lower than national firms and staff our cases leanly, achieving cost savings for our clients without sacrificing quality. And, we consider ourselves a leader in alternative fee arrangements, allowing sophisticated consumers of legal services to achieve significant financial benefits.

we were picked-up on time. Very nice and friendly driver and informative.
The sedan was lovely plenty of pace and clean and comfortable.
Excellent trip and company.
Overall it was an okay ride from Toronto International Airport to a hotel in Niagara Falls.
Our ride arrived late because of the traffic (the driver said). The car smelt tobacco/cigarette very badly for us, non-smokers.
The driver was lovely BUT tour booked for 12 noon. emails told me to ring contractor the morning of the booking. I did to be told Viatour had cancelled the booking.The contractor told me they could get a car to hotel by 2pm, car arrived at 2.30. The driver then got lost in Toronto.We planned to be in Niagara Falls at 1,30. we arrived at 5.30! My husband booked the same driver for the next morning!! I would not have! I thought they would have offered us a discount because of the fiasco the day before.NO

but how would you feel if your SO was masterbating to your best friend's picture.
not just any friend. your best friend of almost ten years!
like wtf!! who does that! :/
i would dump his ass. hard core. ew. i ouldnt be able to get over that
( . Y . ) Gold Boobies!!! weaned on 06/27/2013
Proud mommy to J (8/09) and N (4/12).
Yeah definitely something off about that. A dirty picture is one thing, but one of your BEST friend? Let alone anyone you know is beyond messed up.
There is obviously something more serious than the need to get off going on here...there are many ways he could have gotten porn or dirty pictures to look at. The fact that is was of a close friend is what is the off part. Even if it is one sided he definitely has feelings or sexual thoughts for this girl!
I don't know if I could ever get over that. Masturbation is one thing...but with a picture of someone he knows...that is beyond over the line! You are not overreacting in the slightest OP.
Yeah, I just told DH about this and he said the same as the other hubby's ...that's weird. BC it's to a regular pic and well...to your bff too.

Silviculture is the science of managing forests based on the long-term objectives of the landowner.
These objectives include wildlife habitat, recreation, aesthetics and water. Homeowners should consider the uses and benefits of the forest before making plans to manage the forest by cutting down trees. There are many options to consider when you own a forest, have a wood lot or just have trees in the yard.
Trained professionals and peer forest landowners can help sustain your forest. Just as you would use a financial adviser to achieve retirement goals, you can use a professional forester's guidance.
In addition to private forest consultants, DCNR's Bureau of Forestry has service foresters who work at the county level to encourage sustainable forest management. Each service forester works in one, two, or three counties. To find a local service forester, visit http://bit.ly/11zugSV.
Across Pennsylvania, woodland owners' associations provide educational opportunities for members. Although each group is independent and missions and membership policies differ, most use meetings, field demonstrations, tours, seminars and newsletters to provide information about forests and forest management to their members.
Cumberland Woodland Owners Association is an organization of private forest land owners and others in south central Pennsylvania interested in forestry issues.
A conference May 10 and 11 in Altoona will focus on forest land use, conservation and best management practices for wood lots of all sizes. The Center for Private Forests at Penn State and its partners are hosting the annual event.
The conference costs $75, with some meals and breaks included.
The Saturday morning speaker will be Curt Meine, Aldo Leopold biographer. Other presentations by respected forest professionals will be given.
Optional events (at additional cost) include Friday morning field tours and a Friday evening banquet with Doug Tallamy, professor and chair of entomology and wildlife ecology, University of Delaware, and author of "Bringing Nature Home."
For conference information, contact Allyson Muth at (814) 865-3208 or email@example.com.

As many of you may or may not know from reading any of my other columns, I am a runner. For as far back as I can remember, this is something that has defined me, and I have been fortunate to be able to continue this endeavor throughout my parenting years.
In my running career, I have competed in high school, college, and most recently, at a local elite level in half marathons and marathons. It has been quite an adventure, and one that I would not have been able to do without the support of my family.
However, due to the nature of the races I run, and the fact that they are all so early in the morning, it is a rarity ...

Maple Bundt Cake
A good friend of mine celebrated his 30th birthday this weekend, so I decided to bake him a cake. I wanted it to be simple and sweet and special--something that would make the transition into a new decade a little easier. I remember turning 30 myself and thinking that I would feel incredibly old and panicky about the whole thing. Instead, it turned out to be a real turning point for me, in the best ways possible. I grew up a lot, got rid of some bad habits, picked up yoga, started running in earnest, started a company with my best friend, got into a serious relationship, left a serious relationship, decided to finally start working towards my MA, and learned a heck of a lot about myself in the meantime. I'm happier now than ever before, and I hear it only gets better from here. That's the funny thing about aging--people dread it but it gives just as much as it takes. The more time you spend on this earth, the more wisdom, clarity, consciousness, and serenity you get. Getting older is a beautiful thing.
Now back to this cake. It's a maple bundt cake that is just about perfect for any sort of fall gathering you may be planning (in fact, the word "bundt" is a variation on the German word bund which means gathering). Maple syrup is mixed into the batter, and also infused into the whipped cream before being drizzled generously over the finished product, so that every bite is loaded with the taste of Vermont in the fall. The only thing that would've made this cake even better would've been a scattering of autumn-hued sugar leaves (like these) across the top. Next time. xo
Maple Bundt Cake
From Martha's American Food, by Martha Stewart
3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, plus more for the pan
2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup, plus more for drizzling (I used grade B)
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup cold heavy cream
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Butter a 10-inch Bundt pan. Dust with flour and tap out excess. Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
Cream butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, 3 to 4 minutes. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in 1/2 cup maple syrup and the vanilla. Add flour mixture in three additions, alternating with the sour cream and beginning and ending with flour; beat until just combined after each addition.
Scrape batter into prepared pan. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted into middle of cake comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Let cool in pan on a wire rack 15 minutes before turning out onto rack to cool completely.
Just before serving, whisk cream until soft peaks form (I used an electric handheld mixer for this). Add 2 tablespoons maple syrup and whisk until soft peaks return. Spoon whipped cream over cake and drizzle with more maple syrup. Serve immediately.

HONG KONG (AP) - A disaster movie about a jet that mysteriously crashes into the ocean has been put on hold because of its similarities to the missing Malaysian plane.
Arclight Films, the production company behind "Deep Water," said Wednesday that preproduction has been halted for the time being.
Managing Director Gary Hamilton said, "we're delaying it out of respect for what's going on."
An international search effort is scouring a remote stretch of the southern Indian Ocean for a Malaysia Airlines jet that disappeared March 8. Hamilton said it was a "pretty tragic event."
According to the company's website, the film is about a flight from Sydney to Beijing that goes down in the ocean, leaving the surviving passengers and crew to fight off sharks and other dangers.

Get to know our #NakedAndAfraid survivalists Chris & Corinne a little more >> http://t.co/pLDuNL0zS5 pic.twitter.com/BQ6p5FseMI
— Naked and Afraid (@NakedAndAfraid) August 4, 2014
Thanks to reality television, we've gotten to know real housewives, Amish kids spreading their wings, and a certain family of fame-whores who just won't go away. Amidst the good, the bad, and the ugly of the reality TV phenomenon comes a rare gem in the Discovery Channel series "Naked and Afraid."
The show whisks away two survival experts to remote areas across the globe where they must survive for 21 days with no food, no water, and no clothes. From the first time we accidently caught an episode of this survival experiment to rabidly viewing the new, "uncensored" episodes from seasons past, this show had us at hello. If you haven't yet jumped on the "Naked and Afraid" bandwagon, we are counting down our five favorite things about the show that you're missing out on.
5. Literally Almost Dying
It's hard to believe this ridiculous phrase isn't part of a "Naked and Afraid" playbook that's passed out to all the survivalists before embarking on their masochistic adventures. This is definitely the easiest way to tell who's really terrified by what they've gotten themselves into.
And, perhaps not surprisingly, it's folks with barely a scratch who seem to blurt out this confusing statement most often. It's literally impossible to count how many times a contestant has breathlessly uttered those words, but maybe this phrase will be the first entry in the "Naked and Afraid" drinking game.
4. Spooning Adventures
Staying warm is an obvious concern, and with limited resources it makes sense that contestants would make the most of their body heat. And spooning for heat abounds, from over-eager nature boys like Puma Cabra, who couldn't wait to curl up in partner Julie Wright's spoon, to uptight Tom Touw who refused to cuddle for warmth in Cambodia with former marine Carrie Booze.
Despite all her efforts Tom won't give Carrie the satisfaction of spooning for warmth, out of respect for his wife. Because Carrie is a "Maxim" Hometown Hottie getting rebuffed while she's, well, in the buff seems like a first for the shivering marketing director.
3. Strange Sacrifices
Survival often forces us to consider doing things we never thought we could do. From vegetarian Jaclyn McCaffrey breaking down and eating some meat for much-needed protein to Lindsey Leitelt subjecting herself to a haircut by hatchet in order to make cordage for a bow drill, the ladies of "Naked and Afraid" seem willing to do what it takes to survive, even if that means having a bad hair day.
But Lindsey's sacrifice didn't end at her follicles. Later the home-schooling mom found herself invading a Hamerkop's nest and cooking up all five baby birds for nourishment after almost three weeks with no protein.
2. Awkward Introductions
One of the best parts of every episode is the first time the new pair of adventurers meet face-to-face (and cheek to cheek, so to speak). It's always nerve-wracking to meet someone new, especially someone in whose hands you're putting your survival, but doing it in all your naked glory makes it even worse.
Every survivalist seems to approach the naked introduction differently. Some consider themselves "naked people," while others get to work fashioning clothes even before they start building a shelter. It's pretty telling when guys like commercial fisherman Chris Fischer emphasize how much they hope their partner is attractive over their ability to start a fire or hunt – maybe he should have gone on "Dating Naked" instead.
1. Jungle Fever
While it's true that most contestants do not have near-death experiences on the show, some have contracted dangerous jungle fevers. The most noted is Manu Toigo, a 45-year-old survivalist who contracted Dengue Fever from a mosquito bite in Panama.
Manu didn't really notice symptoms until returning home to Los Angeles after her episode wrapped. The fever causes massive hemorrhaging and there is no cure. However, Manu has remained a survivor and even though she continues to have a tough recovery, she doesn't regret going on "Naked and Afraid."
Do you think you could survive three weeks naked and afraid?

Samsung announces Ultra Edition II phones
updated 02:30 pm EST, Mon February 12, 2007
Samsung Ultra Edition II
Spearheading Samsung's announcements are four phones in the new Ultra Edition II lineup -- click through for a variety of images. The professional end is represented by the U600, which has a metallic finish, a 3.2-megapixel camera, and music playback supporting MP3, WMA, and AAC/AAC+. Bluetooth 2.0 and USB 2.0 connections are present, as is a business card reader, and 60MB of memory with an added microSD slot. The U700 meanwhile is variant for wealthy consumers, adding HSDPA broadband, WMA-DRM audio, and playback of MPEG-4, Real and H.263 video formats. Sacrifices come in the form of a three-megapixel camera and 20MB of internal memory.
The U300 is similar to the U700 but drops a few noteworthy features, such as HSDPA, Real playback, and the microSD slot. This is compensated for somewhat with 70MB of memory, and unlike its more expensive brethren, built-in flash for the camera. The U100 is being positioned as "the world's slimmest handset," taking most of the features of the U300 and placing it in a candybar only 0.2 inches thick. Lost in the translation are flash, WMA-DRM and screen size, which shrinks from 2.2 inches to 1.93. All of the Ultra Edition II phones are expected to launch in Europe in the first quarter of this year.

Admittedly, the Emmy Awards carry a certain amount of predictability year after year, at least where the winners are concerned (I get it, I should probably join the rest of the world in watching Modern Family and Breaking Bad because I'm obviously missing out on something). But there's one thing that always keeps us on our toes: the celebs sure know how to mix it up when it comes to their red carpet hair and makeup looks. This year, television's biggest stars like Kerry Washington, Taylor Schilling and Claire Danes set the beauty bar high with smoky eyes, glorious braids and dreamy updos aplenty.

POSTED: 9:58 p.m. HST, Dec 29, 2011
The Hawaii women's basketball team couldn't keep pace with Florida Gulf Coast in a 72-52 loss tonight at the Stan Sheriff Center.
The Rainbow Wahine (5-9) fell behind early and caught the Eagles (9-2) at 27-27 late in the first half. But FGCU closed the half on a 10-0 run and pulled away from there to win for the ninth time in its last 10 games.
FGCU hit seven of its nine 3-pointers in the second half while UH made just one of nine attempts from long range in the game. The Eagles also made 13 of 14 free throws and committed just two turnovers.
UH committed 13 of its 17 turnovers in the second half, leading to 15 points for FGCU, and went 11-for-21 from the line.
FGCU guard Nicoya Jackson led all scorers with 19 points. Sarah Hansen added 15 and Eglah Griffin scored all 12 of her points in the second half.
Sophomore Vicky Tagalicod led UH with 14 points on 6-for-10 shooting. Forward Kamilah Jackson finished with 10 points and 12 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season.
UH closes the Pepsi Rainbow Wahine Invitational on Friday against North Carolina State at 4:30 p.m.

So, I just moved from the relatively flat and uninspiring lands of southern New Jersey (read: FLAT) to the awesome terrain of around Atlanta, GA (read: OMGHILLS). I've been running for like 8 years, mostly in flat areas, and figured that I could take the hills. Dude, I was wrong.
On a whim, I went out to a local trail/mountain (Kennesaw Mountain...win) last weekend and went for a run. Holy stink, I'm absolutely hooked. I've been back only once more, due to time constraints, but trail running is SO MUCH BETTER than urban running. I'm hooked and am already looking into half and full marys (and possibly even a 50k next year). I've got tons of questions about it, but here are a few to start:
1) I run in Brooks Green Silence (now discontinued, so I had to snap a couple extra pair up) on the road, but PureConnect 2s on the trails...they are minimal running shoes and I love the Brooks toe boxes. Any particular reason I should switch to a trail shoe if the road shoe is working? Any shoe that would feel like the PC2s (i.e., minimal, wide enough, good flexibility, light, etc.)?
2) Pacing seems to be an issue; I'm dead on the uphills and I fly on the downhills. I've gotten the hang of getting my arms out wide for balance and chop-stepping, but any tips for up and downs?
3) Hydration/food...I'm only doing a half-mary to star, but my normal gel/block and drinking schedule is all kerfuffled (since roads are nothing like trails in terms of time). Any pointers to go by?
4) Why is trail running so awesome?
Psalm 37:4
Yeah it is!!!
1. shoes. no need to get trail shoes if your road shoes work. As mentioned, there are some features of some trail shoes that can be helpful - rock protection in particular.
2. go by breathing / intensity rather than pace. Pace can vary by 2:1 up and down hills where you might be doing fairly even effort.
3. do everything by time, not distance. We have a trail that goes up 3000ft in 2.2 mi. Best runners might do that in 45 min.
4. Trail running is awesome cuz it's fun and challenging. enjoy!
1. Depending on the trails and conditions you may learn soon enough that street shoes don't work. So, if they work in all available conditions, by all means keep using them (the trails I run are too rugged for street shoes and when its wet...not a chance).
2. I'm not sure I 100% agree with the "even effort" strategy. It may be my x-country biking background. In my mind trail running is not about constant effort. Its about push and recover, push and recover. Sort of like nature's intervals. If the trail has moderate grades that's very different (ie less than 2% in either direction) but steep ups I push (unless its an epic climb, then I still push more than a flat but not as much as a short hill) and I recover on the flat or down hill. If you want to keep your perceived effort constant that's ok too.
3. Anything over an 1-1.5 hr I'll try to bring some form of hydration. I wear a belt because I hate the handheld but many people like the pack or vest (with packs I tend to get shoulder fatigue and I've never tried the vest). I never eat...my longest trail run has been 2hr 40 min. I only had water and didn't have an issue with it. My HM I didn't stop at the feed zones and only had some electrolytes in 2 of my 4 belt bottles. If you start training for a marathon or 50k you'll want some sort of food/electrolytes. I hate gels (sticks in my mouth so I can't breath) but don't mind blocks and I can pop one at a time. I've heard of people carrying peanut butter sandwiches and other reasonably unmessy tidbits.
4. Being out with nature and having to 'think' about your run brings a whole new element that road running does not. With road running I'm often multitasking. Thinking about work, home, weekend plans, heart rate etc. With much of the trails I hit, my mind and body is so engaged in each step, each line I choose that it becomes a full package deal. That runner's high people talk about...I get it only on the trails and not just at the end, often throughout my run.
ETA: Writing this makes me sad. I'm sidelined due to injury from my run last Friday (on a flat, flat trail). I miss it already.
I wonder if trail runners at elite levels are able to run by pace if they want?
My Strava
RA Training Log Summary
Biking can be very different than running in that the wheels will roll downhill with no effort on your part - hence you recover. Runners can keep pushing on the downs. A *lot* depends on the duration of the race and the steepness of the hills. Short races, say under 1 hr, you can push on the uphills or get ahead of someone before the single track or whatever, and it's no biggy that you blew a ton of energy doing that. On longer races, a person generally has to manage their energy a bit better. There are strategies that can be used - like power hike up the first hour (close to LT effort), then blast down as fast as you can safely go on assorted rocks then smoother terrain at much lower effort (gravity is doing most of work). (I think the bikes do that reverse from the runners since the one side is 3000ft up in 4 miles) On shorter races, you might be able to keep constant effort up and down while pace varies by 50% or more.
Bottom line though is that I don't think most people worry about even pace on trails, like they do on roads.
I think the difference is how broken the terrain is and whether you're trying to maintain pace every 100 yd or every few miles averaging to something.
I believe Scott Jurek has done tempo-like uphill runs at 12 min/mi for about 45min (3000ft up, iirc), but I bet he comes down a lot faster, probably at a lower effort. I guess a question might be can he go up slowly enough that he can maintain that effort on the down.
There are a lot more variables in trail running and ultra running. "We are all an experiment of one". What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for another. The downhills need just as much practice and training as the uphills. For the shorter hills that you can run, I think you just need to learn how to "shift gears" by shortening your stride and speeding up your turnover. The same goes for running downhill. Of course, I'm no expert.
Thanks for the tips, everyone. I'm headed to REI in a little bit to gaze in wonder and awe at all of the new trail running gear I "might" have to get...
Oh darn. More running gear.
2. Take it easy. You're going to be slower on the trail. That's just the way it is.
3. Water or sports drink, whichever you prefer. I like waist belts and handhelds. Depending on how long/far I'm running, I'll carry from 12 to 40 oz of fluid.
4. It just is.
Spennnd! Gear whoring time!
Runners can keep pushing on the downs. A *lot* depends on the duration of the race and the steepness of the hills.
Yes, I agree with this which is why I said "if the trail has moderate grades its very different".
The other thing to keep in mind is its my point of view and pertains to my neck of the woods. I wouldn't recommend anyone in my area to maintain constant effort on the up hills. If I maintained constant effort I would literally be walking 40% of my run (anything over 5% grade) to keep my HR around even.
Simply, most of the trails around where I live, downhill=recovery so why not then push on the up hills. I just couldn't move my legs fast enough even if I tried. Not to mention safety while running over roots, rocks, drops, tight corners, branches etc.
Its a different perspective, one that not everyone has whether its due to physical ability, terrain or workout preference. Also, in all the literature I can find that recommends keeping a constant effort on hill climbs they are all geared towards runners that are new to trails. I'm not saying that experienced runners don't do it, simply that I can't find trail tips for elite/experienced runners (maybe because its assumed they already know the answer...whatever that answer is ).
LTTT, but if you're in Atlanta, why not check out Jeff Galloway's store?
AK trail speaks the truth. Terrain with trail running will dictate pace of even the best trail runners. As for hill climbing technique, I do use my mountain bike past to help me. I live in an area with large brutal climbs but even the toughest climbs have moments that are flatter. On very long climbs I use these sections to relax a bit before it steepens again. Just like with mountain biking I would shift into an easier gear when the trail flattens then gear up for the steeper more technical sections of the climb. Once you feel more comfortable climbing and on shorter runs under 90 min. for me, I will push the pace on the flatter sections to keep my intensity up for the whole climb. On longer runs I do not think about my pace in 8 min. mile but distance as in can I cover 5 miles an hour.
Good luck and of course you need new trail shoes, socks, hydration system, visor oh and some tights too(I do have a gear problem but the first step is to embrace it)
Easy, Light, Smooth, and Fast
I'm not sure what you're saying here. A person can certainly walk uphill near LT and run the downhill at nearly the same effort in a race close to an hour (1-hr race effort). Would I do that in training - not likely. While that's not completely even, there were landslides, rocks, roots, mud, etc and other traffic to deal with - not to mention not being trained because snow had covered most of the rocks and roots until a few days before.
Now, on a longer race, say 4 hrs with 3000ft up in the first 4mi, I'd hike near subLT uphill (1.5+ hr) and go as fast as I can downhill, which wasn't anywhere near LT, but it was another 2.5 hr of running. I definitely wasn't recovering.
When you get into ultras, and have climbs that last a couple hours and race durations in 10+ hr, you need to be really careful how you burn fuel early in a race. Learn the way the various intensities use which types of energy systems and fuels as well as how expensive running uphill is relative to walking or even running on the flats. You just won't have the energy to make it through the day if you push too hard on the uphills. In longer races, I think of it as going with the flow of gravity, rather than "recovery". Yes, with a bike, it doesn't take much to keep it rolling downhill.
In short races (< 1hr), it's fun to watch people run up hills, gasp for air, and then run past them on the downhill. I used to pass people a lot when I started because we had some steep rolling hills that I used to just run. Others were afraid of the steepness or they recovered on the downs, like they do during hill repeats. As I reached the point where I was stronger and could run the uphills with confidence and made running the whole race the goal, I then had people hiking by me on the last hills. (part of that was them knowing the course and knowing where the hills were whereas I was running blind and pushing so I had nothing left at the end, esp. since I didn't know where the end was.)
What types of slopes are you talking about here. Where I am, the downhills are where the stronger runners may overtake the ones that are only strong on the uphills. I can assure you that when Mt. Marathon is run on July 4, the experienced people are not "recovering" on the downhill. I have no idea how their efforts / HR compare on up and down, but it's a hard hike up and a scary downhill.
I think you'll find the elites have enough experience they aren't looking for guidelines in books or online. They run strategically and tactically. They know what portions of the trail can be pushed and what portions it's not worth the energy expense or risk of getting hurt on a nasty fall. If you look at recommendations for longer races, I think you'll find some different thoughts. It may not be perfectly even effort, but it's a long ways from constant pace, which is the concept that most people bring from roads.
AK - each to his own. Personally I don't like walking on climbs so I push and increase my heartrate so I can continue to run. I know a lot of runners who prefer to walk on those same climbs. As I said, I (operative word here) don't 100% agree with the constant perceived effort...didn't say if it was right or wrong just my opinion on it.
That being said, please don't mistake my "push" to mean I maintain a constant speed on all grades (up or down). Absolutely I slow on the ups and am faster on the downs. But my HR changes too. When I'm running flat is around 155-160, uphill (160-170) or downhill (around 150).
So while my pace definitely changes, so too does my effort.
That being said, I'm curious as to why so many people hate hills if they run them just as easy as they do flats??
When people refer to constant effort, they're usually referring to that run, not across all workouts. Most of my runs include hills of some sort. Some are easy days, some are harder, some are hill workouts where the ups are pushed and recover on the downs, others might be downhill workouts (recover on the ups, sorta, push the downs).
But for beginners, I think learning to judge their effort so they could flatline a HR trace (>0, not steep hills) is a potentially useful training mechanism - as could hitting any particular HR. Depending upon their terrain and duration of race, that may not be the way to race.
MTA: I think some people get frustrated with hills since they're trying to keep the same pace going up and down.
This is me, actually. Still in the road race mentality, possibly, as I'm not used to having to watch where I'm going while going uphill (roots, rocks, etc.). It's usually a straight plod up and then a takeoff on the way down.

MANHATTAN, Kan. – Three female Kansas State track and field student-athletes earned ESPN the Magazine Academic All-America honors on Thursday morning, in an announcement by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA).
Earning first team honors were Laci Heller and Kaylene Wagner, while teammate Morgan Bonds garnered second team honors. K-State and Nebraska led all University Division schools with three selections apiece. This is the highest number of Academic All-America recipients for one gender in the school's track and field history.
To be eligible, a student-athlete must be a varsity starter or key reserve, maintain a cumulative grade point average (GPA) of 3.20 on a scale of 4.00, have reached sophomore athletic and academic standings at his/her current institution and be nominated by his/her sports information director. Since the program's inception in 1952, CoSIDA has bestowed Academic All-America honors on more than 14,000 student-athletes in Divisions I, II, III and NAIA covering all NCAA championship sports.
Heller is a two-time Academic All-America selection, as she earned a second team honor at the conclusion of the 2005-06 season. Heller, a feed science and management major, was one of four student-athletes among the first team to hold a 4.0 GPA.
The native of Meriden, Kan., competed in her third straight NCAA outdoor championship in the hammer throw and finished second in the Big 12 Outdoor Championships in the event.
Wagner carries a 3.87 GPA as a graduate student in kinesiology. The product of Goleta, Calif., earned All-America honors in the high jump during the indoor and outdoor campaigns.
Bonds earned her first career national academic honor with a 3.97 GPA in biology. The native of Hutchinson, Kan., won her second career Big 12 Indoor 600-yard run title this season and advanced to the NCAA Outdoor Championships for the second time in her career in the 800-meter run.

Use me to your discretion
Attempt to harm me and I will deprive pleasure from the pain.
Openly you curse my very existence and you rebuke my very name, but so long as I remain your tool will I have a purpose.
When my spirits ascend you torment me, criticizing how I am not good enough for you. Absent-mindely, I confuse your insults as an act of acknowledgement, proudly holding my head up high for being loved.
As you lay dying you blame me for your impending death. I cry not of your statement, but the fact that you're leaving me here in this life so alone, so harsh.
A life that is not meant for your tool.

Hello everyone,
I would like to transfer files from client to server with out using sun ftp package.As of now, the file content is being read and sent to the server but the file is being copied on to "sentfile.txt". So whatever file i send from the client, its been written on the sentfile.txt.(Thats how I've written in the following code but have no clue how to get the actual file which I've sent from the client.Any help would be appreciable.
I think, I've to read the file at the client using a file i/p stream and then write bytes to socket o/p stream.At the server, I've to read the bytes using the socket i/p stream and then write those bytes to file o/p stream.
Thanking you in advance
Client Code:
import java.net.*; import java.io.*; public class tcpClient { public static void main(String[] args) { int port = 1234; String server = "IP-address";//ip-address of the server Socket socket = null; int ERROR = 1; //connect to server try { socket = new Socket(server, port); System.out.println("Connected with server "+socket.getInetAddress()+":"+socket.getPort()); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { System.out.println(e); System.exit(ERROR); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); System.exit(ERROR); } try { byte[] buf = new byte[1024]; OutputStream os = socket.getOutputStream(); BufferedOutputStream out = new BufferedOutputStream(os,1024); String file = uploadfile; // I'm using a file chooser program to select a file. FileInputStream in = new FileInputStream(file); int i; int bytecount=1024; while ((i = in.read(buf,0,1024)) != -1) { bytecount=bytecount+1024; out.write(buf,0,1024); out.flush(); } in.close(); out.close(); System.out.println("Bytes Sent :"+bytecount); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); } try { socket.close(); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); } } }
Server Program
import java.net.*; import java.io.*; public class tcpServer { public static void main(String args[]) { int port; ServerSocket server_socket; try { port = Integer.parseInt(args[0]); } catch (Exception e) { System.out.println("port = 1234 (default)"); port = 1234; } try { server_socket = new ServerSocket(port); System.out.println("Server waiting for client on port " + server_socket.getLocalPort()); // server infinite loop while(true) { Socket socket = server_socket.accept(); System.out.println("New connection accepted "+socket.getInetAddress()+":"+socket.getPort()); try { byte[] b = new byte[1024]; int len=0; int bytcount=1024; String FileName="sentfile.txt"; //writing to a file named sentfile.txt FileOutputStream inFile = new FileOutputStream(FileName); InputStream is = socket.getInputStream(); BufferedInputStream in2 = new BufferedInputStream(is,1024); while( (len = in2.read(b,0,1024)) != -1 ) { bytcount=bytcount+1024; inFile.write(b,0,1024); } in2.close(); inFile.close(); System.out.println("Bytes Writen : "+bytcount); } catch(IOException e) { System.out.println("Unable to open file" + e); return; } try { socket.close(); System.out.println("Connection closed by client"); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); } } } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e); } } }

From the context it looks like he was talking about FTP as in File Transfer Protocol. I don't think you are looking for a full-blown FTP client, you just want to upload a file name then a file. Of course, this would require creating your own protocol. Take a look at the Custom Networking part of the

Almost lost amidst the (justifiable) outrage and attention regarding the Iraqi prisoner abuses is news that a team at the University of Washington has knocked down the last scientific objection to the notion that global warming is real, and that human activity is a significant causal factor.
As reported in the May 6, 2004, issue of Nature, researchers from UW investigated why, if surface temperature records show clear signs of warming, satellite measurements of the troposphere -- the atmosphere from the ground to about 11 kilometers up -- did not. Opponents of the human-caused global warming model pointed to this contradiction as a sign that climate change wasn't real or was triggered by natural causes. According to Dr. Qiang Fu's team, cooling in the upper atmosphere -- itself a known result of greenhouse gases -- alters the satellite measurements; when that is accounted for, the troposphere data matches precisely with current models of human-caused warming.
While not good news in the "we're all going to be just fine" category, it does mean that we now have a much better understanding of the mechanisms underlying global warming, as well as confirmation that the current models work. It also means that the inevitable continued objections to doing anything about global warming have likely lost any remaining scientific credibility.
The Nature link above is to a short report; the article (linked from that page) is not freely available. Better details on the story can be found in this article from the London Times, and this release from UW, via Eurekalert.
Wow, are YOU hopeful!
The F.U.D. produced by the fossil fuel industry and ideological think tanks is astonishing in its quantity and breadth.
The lastest, most egregious line of argument from the denial crowd:
Scientists publish results like this because they're trying to scare people into giving them grants for further research.
Just because 90% of scientists think global warming is happening doesn't mean it is because science doesn't run on consensus.
People trying to translate these facts into policy have a long, hard struggle ahead of them.
I think it's going to take a really horrible awful climate disaster to get the ball rolling.
Note that I didn't say that opposition would cease -- in fact, I said the opposite. It's just that the one leg upon which a real scientific objection to global warming theory could stand is now gone, so that continued opposition would have to be political.
And, yeah, today I'm hopeful. Tomorrow I'll go back to my usual sullen self.
Aren't you a little quick to call it the final proof already? Can't we even wait until other scientists have gotten their replies in? See this crumb trail post and the reply to this study by Roy Spencer.
I deny nor confirm climate change - honestly I don't know. This post doesn't have an agenda, but I do think you are judging too fast by immediatly claiming a study is right.
Lots of posts about the subject here btw: http://davidappell.com/ and here: http://www.chriscmooney.com/
"this post" was referring to my post.
Dig the greenhouse warning icon!
Oh, was that from the contest?
Time to make a sticker out of that, for gas pumps and tail pipes.
Indeed, that's the Greenhouse Warning icon from the Viridian contest, the winning design by Jason Cole.
Frank, I'm not sure what to say to people at this point who claim to have no opinion on the reality of global warming-induced climate change. The evidence is pretty damn overwhelming at this point; I don't know what more a reasonable person could ask for as confirmation. What would it take for you to accept the science?
As for the specific article linked to in this post, it's not new data that needs to be analyzed and confirmed, it's a more sophisticated analysis of existing data. The article includes quotes from other climatologists appluading the new approach (as well as a critic of global warming in general, whose response is essentially "it's not real, and if it's real, it doesn't matter, and if it does matter, it's not real (etc.)"
"Frank, I'm not sure what to say to people at this point who claim to have no opinion on the reality of global warming-induced climate change. The evidence is pretty damn overwhelming at this point; I don't know what more a reasonable person could ask for as confirmation. What would it take for you to accept the science?"
That's simple: knowledge of the science, of which I don't have that much, but I'm working on it. I read up on politics and science in my spare time, of which I don't have that much either. I'm still working on it. I just stated this in my post to make clear I was not coming from a fundamentally global warming-skeptic direction, hoping to avoid misinterpretation. I, by the way, am not so skeptical about precautionary measures. What case is there against sustainable solutions? I am not a regular visitor of this site for nothing.
My point was not that global warming does not exist or even that this study is wrong, but that I think to claim with a new study which barely has the ink dry that it resolves the question is counterproductive because it only stimulates debate where the latest studies that conflict with eachother are immediatly claimed to be right. The next time a study like Soon & Baliunas (claimed by many to be junk) comes out the media will have reason to say: "see! it doesn't exist!" because they are stimulated to think new studies automatically are right. This study might very well be right, but perhaps it contains errors and because of all the claims of truth the debate will have lost even more quality.
I'm not against healthy global warming debate - I'm against debate where people judge too soon which becomes counterproductive - for the global warming side too.
"As for the specific article linked to in this post, it's not new data that needs to be analyzed and confirmed, it's a more sophisticated analysis of existing data."
Indeed it's a new interpretation, but it's disputed. Of course about any fact in this debate is disputed but I would wait until the people who dispute it (Spencer & Christy for example) have sent their replies in (if they choose to do that, if they don't, or it's bunk, you might get me over to your side on this study). Then we can have a healthy debate and even possibly improve the current research so that we are absolutely certain of the facts.
