In 2010, we held Colorado's 3rd Congressional District up as one that welcomed moderate political views in endorsing the Democratic incumbent. Voters promptly tossed him out, selecting conservative Republican Scott Tipton instead.
While redistricting has significantly altered many districts in the state this year, we still believe the 3rd — which includes Pueblo, Grand Junction and southern Colorado — is best represented by someone whose views hew to the middle of the spectrum. In endorsing Rep. Scott Tipton for a second term, we hope he keeps that in mind.
He faces a serious challenge from Democratic state Rep. Sal Pace of Pueblo. Pace's commitment to the district is unquestioned and, were he to unseat Tipton, we imagine he would do the job well. But his record in the statehouse and a lack of specificity as to how and when he would buck his party make it hard to envision Pace as the type of middle-of-the-road pol the district needs.
Tipton's first term could generously be called a mixed bag.
He voted for Rep. Paul Ryan's extreme budget and was forced to scramble to get his colleagues to reinstitute a ban on expanding the Piñon Canyon training site, which he ultimately did.
He also had to apologize to the House Ethics Committee after The Denver Post reported that his daughter used his name to other members of Congress while trying to land accounts for a company run by Tipton's nephew. It was an embarrassing, though minor, bump in the road.
But Tipton has shown an ability to partner with the other side.
With Democratic Sen. Michael Bennet pushing the issue in the Senate, Tipton passed through the House a bill that would designate Chimney Rock as a national monument (it was trumped by President Barack Obama's use of the Antiquities Act to make the designation).
And he has co-sponsored with Rep. Ed Perlmutter, D-Golden, a measure that would make it easier for small business to access capital.
Tipton supports extension of the production tax credit for wind, has pushed for more federal funding for Native American students at Fort Lewis College in Durango and helped persuade the Air Force to drop plans for low-altitude training flights over much of southern Colorado.
That's not to say he is the moderate who we think this district deserves. He ranked as the 50th-most conservative member of the 435-member House in 2011, according to the National Journal.
He has once again signed a pledge not to increase taxes. And many of his views on public land strike us as out of touch with the voters in the district who favor preservation and mixed-use over extraction.
That said, Tipton's recent performance leads us to believe that he is beginning to understand he is elected to serve a broad constituency in a diverse district and not just the far right.

With nearly 24 hours to gain perspective on his team's 33-19 loss to the Chiefs in Kansas City, Broncos coach Mike Shanahan got defensive about his defense.
The final stats from Sunday, such as the 198 yards rushing by Kansas City's Larry Johnson and the 33 points, don't provide an accurate depiction of how the defense played, Shanahan said.
"When you take a look at a game like that, people will point to the defense, and that is so far from the truth," Shanahan said.
In backing the defense, Shanahan placed much of the blame for the team's first loss of the season on an offense that committed four turnovers and scored only one touchdown in four trips to the red zone. Those were the stats that had Shanahan most concerned Monday.

In fact, Shanahan said, it was the defense's effort through more than three quarters that allowed the Broncos to be in the game at all, because the offense's turnovers and breakdowns on kickoff coverage allowed the Chiefs to start six drives in Denver territory. Four of those possessions resulted in points for Kansas City — two touchdowns and two field goals.
"There is a lot that goes into a football game, and everybody wants to throw it at the defense," Shanahan said. "Any offense that does that gives your defense no chance."
But defensive players spoke Sunday night and Monday about the need to continue to make improvements after giving up more than 30 points for the third consecutive game. The Broncos have surrendered 103 points since giving up only 14 to Oakland in the season opener.
"We've got to go back and draw it up and fix it," linebacker Boss Bailey said.
The loss to Kansas City brought attention to some defensive trouble spots that had existed, but were perhaps overshadowed, through the Broncos' victories in the first three weeks.
The team has failed to develop a consistent pass rush and has recorded six sacks — only three in the past three games — and has allowed its opponents to convert 43 percent of third downs.
"The fact that we didn't pull it out, you know, it brings a lot of attention to things that you know would not have gotten so much ink if we had won," safety Marlon McCree said. "We're playing hard, we're just not, at times, playing smart or aggressive enough."
Shanahan admitted the unit must play better but maintains, as he did a week ago, that the defense's troubles are fixable.
"We talked about missed tackles and gap responsibilities, and we still have to improve on our third downs," Shanahan said. "All the things we did poorly in the game, you try to work on and eliminate those mistakes."
Players said they are committed to making those changes. They reported for Monday conditioning for the first time this season — the team earns an extra off day when it wins — and watched film of Sunday's loss. The team is off today and will start practicing Wednesday for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, a team on a three-game winning streak.
"I don't think there is one guy on the team, coach or anybody, that can be happy with the way things worked out," linebacker Jamie Winborn said. "We're not going to point any fingers or anything like that. I think everyone on this team feels the same way, that 'I have got to do better.' "

What is your *least* favorite candy?
Since everyone always asks which is your favorite, I thought I'd give everyone a chance to vent on the one they hate the most.
53 Answers answer
My worst candy ever has got to be scandinavian Tyrkisk Peber (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrkisk_Peber). It's a liquorice flavoured candy filled with ammonium chloride and ground pepper.
My German friend (or maybe frenemy?) tricked me into trying one.
"It's delicious," he said. I nearly lost my lunch it was so disgusting. And the unpleasantness remained long after the candy had been expelled from my maw.
With such glowing recommendations online as "The burn on your tongue will linger for a while, but it's not that unpleasant. Not recommended for children!" and "It's hard to say what the flavour is like... Salty battery acid?", it's truly a small wonder there's still a thriving market for this stuff.
It has to be Black Licorice and add in hte fact that it tastes like Ouzo and that makes it even worse.
Malted Milk Balls, Black Licorice, anything Fruit Punch flavored..yuk!

One dead in Saturday morning fire in Elkhart
ELKHART — An elderly man died in a fire at 1308 Magnolia Ave. Saturday morning, according to the Elkhart Fire Department.
Firefighters were called to the house shortly after 8 a.m. and arrived to find heavy smoke coming from the rear corner of the home.
Firefighters entered the home and made their way to the master bedroom which was on fire. The flames were brought under control at 8:41 a.m., according to an EFD press release.
Cuauhtemoc Santilla, whose family lives next door, said that Dan Gagax's mother-in-law, who was visiting from the Philippines, came and knocked on his door Saturday morning after she escaped from the house and told him Gagax was still in the house.
Santilla then went over to the house to attempt to save Gagax but said the smoke was too thick to see through. After he emerged from the house, the mother-in-law informed him she had not called 911 so he made the call.
He then went back to the house with a flashlight and fire extinguisher before firefighters arrived but still could not get Gagax out of the home. Firefighters arrived soon after.
Gagax's wife, Connie, was at work Saturday morning and was picked up and brought to the scene.
One firefighter also sustained a minor injury while fighting the fire.
The cause of the fire remains unknown.

Local Licks: Wine Tales from Our Own Backyard
Those of us who live in the Bay Area lead a charmed life. Good weather, plenty to do, great food—and for the oenophile—great wine. We live within shouting distance to one of the best wine regions in the world: Napa Valley. While I love a good Howell Mountain Cab as much as the next person, there is a region that I prefer to Napa that's even closer. To me, some of the best wines are made with grapes grown in the Santa Cruz Mountains. I'm not just talking about Ridge's Montebello either. There are plenty of lesser known wineries making awesome wines that are often more affordable than their Napa counterparts. Here are a few favorites that I recently tasted.
Located in the heart of Santa Cruz, Storrs Winery has been producing top quality wines for years. The owners (Stephen and Pamela Storrs) are both UC Davis trained. The 2012 Storrs Santa Cruz Mountains Chardonnay ($19.99) is a fantastic offering. I'm not a huge fan of the really oaky/buttery Chardonnays that you see from Napa and Sonoma, so this wine was a very pleasant surprise. It had a fresh nose with hints of minerals, pineapple, and a lovely smokiness that glued everything together. The minerality carried through on the palate along with fresh cut citrus, which was punctuated with some nice acidity. This wine had a crisp and clean finish that lasted a long time. It's a perfect wine for backyard grilling on a warm evening. Try this with your favorite grilled fish.
Sometimes there are people who you just root for to succeed. Waxwing Wine Cellars owner/winemaker Scott Sisemore is just such a person. In 2006 he left his commercial winemaking job to stay at home with his newborn son. But the wine bug was just too deeply imbedded, and he started his own winery that he uses to focus on lovingly crafted, ultra small lot wines. The 2012 Waxwing Lester Family Vineyard Pinot Noir ($35.99) is a perfect example of what a great winemaker can do with great grapes. The nose had an amazing contrast of dried black fruit, clove spice, juniper, and gaminess that intrigued my brain as well as my senses. This wine had a bright acidity and a long finish. The clove spice carried through onto the palate and was complimented with notes of black licorice and dried blueberry. This Pinot would be amazing with a nice pork loin infused with spices.
I have to admit that I'm a sucker for Syrah. I'm always looking for the next new and exciting offering. So I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the 2010 Martin Ranch Therese Vineyards Lester Family Vineyard Syrah ($26.99 - available in-store only). The winemakers are husband/wife team Dan and Therese Martin. In 1993 they decided to fulfill their dream of making wine and realized that their 17 acre property was the ideal microclimate to do so. After developing the site for years they've grown into a moderate-sized winery. In my opinion this Syrah is their best of a remarkably strong field. It's a throwback to the wonderful Syrahs of the Northern Rhone Valley. The nose was a highlight reel of pepper, savory spice, minerality and meatiness. Notes of rich black fruit, pepper, and fresh cherries compliment silky tannin. There was a nice touch of acid that carried through a finish that lasted for hours. Did someone say rack of lamb?
Let's be honest, the movie "Sideways" has had way too much influence on our perception of Merlot. It didn't help that the film came out at a time when the quality of California Merlot was not up to normal standards. Things are slowly changing and this next wine is a prime example of that. The 2009 Rexford Santa Cruz Mountains Merlot ($23.99) is exactly what Merlot is supposed to taste like. Joe and Sam Miller are the father/son winemaking team who have crafted amazing wines for quite some time. This Merlot had a dusty nose that was highlighted by notes of mocha, leather, and forest floor. The tannins are beginning to soften and are complimented by a touch of acidity. This wine is fresh with hints of tobacco and a nice finish. If you're looking to try Merlot again I highly recommend this one.
Finally, what blog post on the Santa Cruz Mountains would be complete without a mention of the undisputed king: Ridge? I make it no secret of my appreciation and respect for what the winemaking team is doing up there on Montebello Road. When I got to try the Spring releases last March I was practically giddy. And once again the best winery in California exceeded expectations. The 2011 Ridge Montebello Vineyard Estate Cabernet Sauvignon ($44.99) is a knock-out of a wine. You would think that with a vintage as challenging as 2011 that the quality of the wines would slip a little. Well, you would be wrong then. This wine is a blend of 82% Cab, 14% Merlot, 3% Petit Verdot, and 1% Cabernet Franc. The nose was delicate with notes of black plum and leather. But the flavors on the palate were anything but shy. Notes of cassis and forest floor were the stars of this wine. The finish was smooth and dry and lingered for days. I can't wait to dig in to a nice steak with a glass of this Cab.
Those of us who live on the Peninsula need not spend hours fighting traffic to taste fantastic wines. The wineries of the Santa Cruz Mountains offer some of the best wines made in California. Why shell out hundreds of dollars for a weekend getaway when you can drive along the mountain roads and taste wine that's often better at far lower prices. I invite you to come into Beltramo's, and we'll be happy to show you these wines and others right from our own backyard. Happy Times and Happy Drinking! Cheers!

Boulder City
this wiki
The NCR sure did a number of this place."— Great Khan
Boulder City is a town in the Mojave Wasteland. It is "Home of the Eagles".
The town was functional until recently. During the First Battle of Hoover Dam in 2277, in a last ditch attempt to defeat the Legion, New California Republic (NCR) Rangers booby trapped the town and led Legion troops into the trap. Although this won the battle, the city was almost entirely demolished as a result. After the battle, a monument to the NCR soldiers who fell during the battle was placed in the remains of the town.
There is little in the town apart from the Boulder City ruins and a saloon, run by Ike. At the western entrance, there is a NCR memorial to the soldiers who died at the Battle for Hoover Dam, being looked at by Private Kowalski.

The Cenozoic Era (65 million years to the present) is the most recent of the three major subdivisions of animal history.
The other two are the Paleozoic and Mesozoic. The Cenozoic spans only about 65 million years, from the end of the Cretaceous and the extinction of non-avian dinosaurs to the present. The Cenozoic is sometimes called the Age of Mammals, because the largest land animals have been mammals during that time. This is a misnomer for several reasons. First, the history of mammals began long before the Cenozoic began. Second, the diversity of life during the Cenozoic is far wider than mammals. The Cenozoic could have been called the "Age of Flowering Plants" or the "Age of Insects" or the "Age of Teleost Fish" or the "Age of Birds" just as accurately.
The Cenozoic is divided into two main sub-divisions: the Tertiary and the Quaternary. Most of the Cenozoic is the Tertiary, from 65 million years ago to 1.8 million years ago. The Quaternary includes only the last 1.8 million years.
The concepts of Tertiary and Quaternary have an interesting history. In the 1760's and 1770's a geologist named Giovanni Arduino was studying the rocks and minerals in Tuscany. He classified mountains according to the type of rocks that he found in them. Unfossiliferous schists, granites, and basalts (all volcanic rocks) that formed the cores of large mountains he called Primitive. Fossil rich rocks of limestone and clay that were found on the flanks of mountains over the Primitive rocks were called Secondary. Finally, there were another group of fossiliferous rocks of limestones and sandstones lying over the Secondary rocks and forming the foothills of the mountains that Anduino called Tertiary. At first, then, Tertiary referred to a certain type of rock found in the area of Tuscany. Later, however, geologists used the fossils found in the Tertiary rocks there to recognize rocks of the same age elsewhere. Rocks with the same species of fossils were the same age.
Extensive Tertiary age rocks were recognized in the Paris Basin, which is the area around Paris, France. In the 1820's and 1830's Charles Lyell, a noted English geologist who had a great influence on Charles Darwin, subdivided the Tertiary rocks of the Paris Basin on their fossils. Lyell came up with an ingenious idea. He noticed that the rocks at the top of the section had a very high percentage of fossils of living mollusc species. Those at the bottom of the section had very few living forms. He deduced that this difference was because of the extinction of older forms and the evolution of living forms during the time that the rocks were being deposited. He divided the Tertiary rocks into three sub-ages: the Pliocene, the Miocene, and the Eocene. 90% of the fossil molluscs in Pliocene rocks were living today. In the Miocene rocks, only 18% of the molluscs were of living species, and in Eocene rocks, only 9.5%.
These subdivisions of the Tertiary have been correlated around the world using the fossil species in them. Rocks with the same species as Lyell's Eocene, are considered to be the same age as those in the Paris Basin. The same goes for the other subdivisions. Some time later it was noted that in areas other than the Paris Basin, there were rocks that seemed to be from time periods that were not represented in Lyell's sequence. This was because during those periods there had been no deposition in what would later be the Paris Basin. These two periods, later designated Oligocene and Paleocene, were inserted into the Tertiary in their proper places.

The best that I am aware...you can give your baby whatever name you would like. The only need for the birth father to be present is to sign his name as the father on the birth certificate. (Not sure if this is your situation but if you were to later need to pursue child support from said father and he did not sign the birth certificate, you would have to go thru a perternatly testing process to prove dna as opposed to if they signed the birth certificate that is the same as them admitting/ stating being the father to the child ** hope this help and isn't to much unneeded info.posted 01/13/2012 by Sj's mommy to be
I agree and disagree with the second comment. Yes you can give them whatever last name you want. My boyfriend and I had a baby and I gave my son his last name. In the hospital the card will have your last name but when they give you the papers to sign for his birth certificate you can have them put his last name on it then. I feel if you are sure he is the father that the baby should have his last name. It is a heritage thing if nothing else. He will one day want to know about his ancestry and family and things like that.posted 01/13/2012 by Jaggiggles
baby can have anyone's last name, even a made up one but if you aren't married, why bother giving baby his last name? you might regret it.posted 01/13/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Yes he can, you just have to put that down as his last name of the birth certificate.posted 01/16/2012 by a BabyCenter Member
Your baby can have whatever last name you write on the paperwork at the hospital.posted 01/13/2012 by mommy102803

First Watch: The Raveonettes, 'The Enemy'
Just a year after releasing the full-length album Raven in the Grave, Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo — the Danish musicians behind The Raveonettes — are back with yet another shimmering noise-pop record. Observator is out today, and includes the gorgeous cut "The Enemy."
The song's ringing guitars, vaporous harmonies and simple beats recall the gentler moments of The Jesus and Mary Chain, with the reflective, sweet melodies of classic Velvet Underground.
For the video accompanying "The Enemy," Wagner and Foo told us via email that they turned to Australian director Imogen Prado because of her gift for digital psychedelia.
"It's poetic and slightly unsettling at the same time. We wanted the images for 'The Enemy' to create a bit of a juxtaposition to the sweet, poppy quality of the song. Something more abstract. It's very exciting to work with young, up-and-coming artists like Imogen. We believe in her as an artist and look forward to following her career."
Director Imogen Prado:
"My style of editing, using an array of my own stock footage of anything from plastic glitter spiders to trains and roses, worked well visually with the song. I love playing with different mediums of footage — especially Super 8, because of the wonderful grain and the fantastic colors. It was easy to synthesize my visual aesthetic of swirling colors with footage I took of Sharin and Sune."
The Raveonettes recorded Observator at the legendary Sunset Sound Studios in Los Angeles, in the space where The Doors' classic albums were recorded.

Overload resolution
In order to compile a function call, the compiler must first perform name lookup, which, for functions, may involve argument-dependent lookup, and for function templates may be followed by template argument deduction. If these steps produce more than one candidate function, then overload resolution is performed to select the function that will actually be called.
In general, the candidate function whose parameters match the arguments most closely is the one that is called.
Before overload resolution begins, the functions selected by name lookup and template argument deduction are combined to form the set of candidate functions (the exact criteria depend on the context in which overload resolution takes place, see below).
If any candidate function is a member function (static or non-static), but not a constructor, it is treated as if it has an extra parameter (implicit object parameter) which represents the object for which they are called and appears before the first of the actual parameters.
Similarly, the object on which a member function is being called, is prepended to the argument list as the implied object argument
For member functions of class
X, the type of the implicit object parameter is affected by cv-qualifications and ref-qualifications of the member function as described in member_functions
The user-defined conversion functions are considered to be members of the implied object argument for the purpose of determining the type of the implicit object parameter.
The member functions introduced by a using-declaration into a derived class are considered to be members of the derived class for the purpose of defining the type of the implicit object parameter.
For the static member functions, the implicit object parameter is considered to match any object: its type is not examined and no conversion sequence is attempted for it.
For the rest of overload resolution, the implied object argument is indistinguishable from other arguments, but the following special rules apply to the implicit object parameter:
|This section is incomplete
Reason: small illustrative examples
Candidate functions
Call to a named function
|This section is incomplete
Call to a class object
|This section is incomplete
Call to an overloaded operator
|This section is incomplete
Initialization by constructor
|This section is incomplete
Copy-initialization by conversion
|This section is incomplete
Non-class initialization by conversion
|This section is incomplete
Reference initialization by conversion
|This section is incomplete
|This section is incomplete
Viable functions
Given the set of candidate functions, constructed as described above, the next step of overload resolution is examining arguments and parameters to reduce the set to the set of viable functions
To be included in the set of viable functions, the candidate function must satisfy the following:
M arguments, the candidate function that has exactly
M parameters is viable
M parameters, but has an ellipsis parameter (is a variadic function), it is viable.
M parameters and the
M+1'st parameter and all parameters that follow must have default arguments, it is viable. For the rest of overload resolution, the parameter list is truncated at M.
Best viable function
For each pair of viable function
F1 and
F2, the implicit conversion sequences from the
i-th parameter to
i-th argument are ranked to determine which one is better (except the first argument, the implicit object argument for static member functions has no effect on the ranking)
F1 is determined to be a better function than
F2 if implicit conversions for all arguments of F1 are not worse than the implicit conversions for all arguments of F2, and
These pair-wise comparisons are applied to all viable functions. If exactly one viable function is better than all others, overload resolution succeeds and this function is called. Otherwise, compilation fails.
void Fcn(const int*, short); // overload #1 void Fcn(int*, int); // overload #2 int i; short s = 0; void f() { Fcn(&i, 1L); // 1st argument: &i -> int* is better than &i -> const int* // 2nd argument: 1L -> short and 1L -> int are equivalent // calls Fcn(int*, int) Fcn(&i,'c'); // 1st argument: &i -> int* is better than &i -> const int* // 2nd argument: 'c' -> int is better than 'c' -> short // calls Fcn(int*, int) Fcn(&i, s); // 1st argument: &i -> int* is better than &i -> const int* // 2nd argument: s -> short is better than s -> int // no winner, compilation error }
Ranking of implicit conversion sequences
The argument-parameter implicit conversion sequences considered by overload resolution correspond to implicit conversions used in copy initialization (for non-reference parameters), except that when considering conversion to the implicit object parameter or to the left-hand side of assignment operator, conversions that create temporary objects are not considered.
Each type of standard conversion sequence is assigned one of three ranks:
The rank of the standard conversion sequence is the worst of the ranks of the standard conversions it holds (there may be up to three conversions)
Binding of a reference parameter directly to the argument expression is either Identity or a derived-to-base Conversion:
struct Base {}; struct Derived : Base {} d; int f(Base&); // overload #1 int f(Derived&); // overload #2 int i = f(d); // d -> Derived& has rank Exact Match // d -> Base& has rank Conversion // calls f(Derived&)
Since ranking of conversion sequences operates with types and value categories only, a bit field can bind to a reference argument for the purpose of ranking, but if that function gets selected, it will be ill-formed.
S1 is better than a standard conversion sequence
S2 if
S1 is a subsequence of
S2, excluding lvalue transformations. The identity conversion sequence is considered a subsequence of any other conversion
S1 is better thank the rank of
S1 is a subset of the cv-qualification of the result of
int f(const int*); int f(int*); int i; int j = f(&i); // &i -> int* is better than &i -> const int*, calls f(int*)
S1 and
S2 are binding to a reference parameter to something other than the implicit object parameter of a ref-qualified member function, and
S1 binds an rvalue reference to an rvalue while
S2 binds an rvalue reference to an rvalue
int i; int f1(); int g(const int&); // overload #1 int g(const int&&); // overload #2 int j = g(i); // lvalue int -> const int& is the only valid conversion int k = g(f1()); // rvalue int -> const int&& better than rvalue int -> const int&
S1 and
S2 are binding to a reference parameter and
S1 binds an lvalue reference to function while
S2 binds an rvalue reference to function.
S1 and
S2 are binding to a reference parameters only different in top-level cv-qualification, and
S1's type is less cv-qualified than
int f(const int &); // overload #1 int f(int &); // overload #2 (both references int g(const int &); // overload #1 int g(int); // overload #2 int i; int j = f(i); // lvalue i -> int& is better than lvalue int -> const int& // calls f(int&) int k = g(i); // lvalue i -> const int& ranks Exact Match // lvalue i -> rvalue int ranks Exact Match // ambiguous overload: compilation error
U1 is better than a user-defined conversion sequence
U2 if they call the same constructor/user-defined conversion function and the second standard conversion sequence in
U1 is better than the second standard conversion sequence in
struct A { operator short(); // user-defined conversion function } a; int f(int); // overload #1 int f(float); // overload #2 int i = f(a); // A -> short, followed by short -> int (rank Promotion) // A -> short, followed by short -> float (rank Conversion) // calls f(int)
L1 is better than list-initialization sequence
L2 if
L1 initializes an std::initializer_list parameter, while
L2 does not.
std::vector<std::size_t> v{10, 20}; // calls vector<size_t>(initializer_list<size_t>) // not vector<size_t>(size_t, size_t)
If two conversion sequences are indistinguishable because they have the same rank, the following additional rules apply:
Mid is derived (directly or indirectly) from
Base, and
Derived is derived (directly or indirectly) from
Ambiguous conversion sequences are ranked as user-defined conversion sequences because multiple conversion sequences for an argument can exist only if they involve different user-defined conversions:
class B; class A { A (B&);}; // converting constructor class B { operator A (); }; // user-defined conversion function class C { C (B&); }; // converting constructor void f(A) { } // overload #1 void f(C) { } // overload #2 B b; f(b); // B -> A via ctor or B -> A via function (ambiguous conversion) // b -> C via ctor (user-defined conversion) // the conversions for overload #1 and for overload #2 // are indistinguishable; compilation fails

i have a few good prices *serious buyers only* hmu email@example.com
May 3, 2013 BY John Kim / 8
Nike Basketball officially dubbed this exciting colorway as "Re-entry", noting the return flight path that space shuttles make when returning to Earth. Perhaps it signifies LeBron returning from the Galaxy back to Miami with a intergalactic gem, because this colorway of "Pure Platinum" might be the best colorway of the LeBron X based on the voluminous response from our readers. With the LeBron demand still not met, there's no doubt that these will go fast, so take one last look at the Nike LeBron X "Pure Platinum" below and cop tomorrow at Nike Basketball retailers from Sneaker Politics or on eBay.
Nike LeBron X
Pure Platinum/Black-Sport Turquoise
Filed under: Just Released LeBron
i have a few good prices *serious buyers only* hmu email@example.com
These LB's are way too serious. I love them. www.mintunderground.com has a size 8.5 for only $239 shipped if anybody needs a pair.
I'm so happy and lucky. I went to Foot Locker like around Mid-day and expected these to be sold out (I'm in NYC, so even more reason why they would sell out). I asked for a pair in size 11 and to my luck, they had them!!! Too many people were going for the grapes. To be honest, all the hype and those fake sneakerheads trying to get a pair ruined my liking for the Grape 5s, just like they did with the breds.
Yea I think in person these are fucking around you can think otherwise
People where buying 2 pairs of grapes, and a pair of the pure's. These are going to sell out in Miami today for sure. The CW on the pure's in person are off the chain if your a Lebron X fan this pair is a most get.
these didnt sell out today? i geuss the grapes over did these still a decent shoe im just not a lebron fan.
Had a pair on jimmyjazz checking out press the next button Error hit refresh cart empty sold fml
Yea really..but I'm fine with these

Game of Throne's actor Clive Mantle, who plays Lord Greatjon Umber in the series, recently was attacked and part of his ear bitten off – by a human! You may recall that Mantle's character on the HBO drama lost two fingers to a Direwolf in season 2. This time, it was not an animal that got a mouthful of Mantle – or should I say an earful.
Mantle was staying at a Travelodge in Newcastle, England over the weekend when he was attacked early in the morning on Sunday. Mantle had approached a group of men over a noise complaint, asking them to keep the noise down outside of his hotel, when he was attacked.
A spokesman from Mantle's agency says that the 55 year old actor underwent surgery to have his ear reattached, but is still very upset about the incident. "He is very shaken and shocked by what has happened. You don't expect this kind of thing to happen in a hotel," said the spokesman. "The part of the ear that was bitten off was found and sewn back on. Mr. Mantle said the police, ambulance and hospital staff were amazing."
One man has been charged with rounding with intent and is expected in court next month. A second man has been released on bail while a third was released without charge.

By Dr. Maya Bailey
RISMEDIA, Oct. 5, 2007-What does it mean to "sharpen your saw?" According to Dr. Steven Covey, "sharpening your saw" means increasing your personal production capacity by daily self-care and self-maintenance. Why is this important? In my 30 years of working with clients to help them maximize their success, it is so clear that those who neglect this will never reach their goals.
For example, one of my clients, Sandra, (all names have been changed) struggled with a sugar addictions for years. Her business was always in chaos, as she had roller-coaster moods that would never allow her to focus on her business. Another client, Jane, never wanted to look at how her addiction to alcohol affected her business. Once she made the decision to limit her alcohol intake, she regained energy and strength and her business took off.
The Four Levels of "Sharpening Your Saw":
1. The physical level - How good are you at getting enough rest, sleep and exercise? Is your diet healthy or do find yourself relying on fast foods? What about your water intake? Are you drinking 2-3 quarts a day? Very important: are you allowing yourself to breathe deeply? So many of my clients were in the habit of shallow breathing and depriving themselves of the needed oxygen for energy. How well do you take care of your physical body? The answer to this will determine not only the health of your body but also the health your business and your ability to wisely market yourself.
2. The mental level - What kind of thoughts do you entertain? Are you focused on what you don't want or what you do want? Your thoughts create your reality, so what thoughts are you thinking right now? Whenever you catch yourself in negative self talk, use the STOP Technique. Just say STOP, take a deep breath and change that thought to a more positive one.
3. The emotional level - Are you doing things that make you happy? Are you around people and activities that bring you joy? So many times in our focus to achieve success, we deprive ourselves of a balanced life. Guess what? You attract the energy that you radiate. So if you want to attract happy appreciative clients, become happy and appreciative. Before you know it the business you had been struggling to have is now drawn to you like a magnet. Everyone wants to do business with people who are positive and uplifting.
4. The spiritual level - What are you doing each day and each week to nourish yourself spiritually? Whether you are religious or not, I have never met anyone who didn't sense that there is a Diving Intelligence that created this universe. And this Divine Intelligence is abundant, just look at the trees and the flowers. The more you are aligned with this essence the more your have a solid spiritual foundation. Maybe your spiritual nourishment is church; maybe it's the trees or the ocean. Find that place where you are in a state of awe and wonder and visit there often.

Auburn police chief set to retire at end of month
By: Bridget Jones, Journal Staff Writer
Harris says she is looking forward to change
Auburn can expect to see some changes in its police department, including the retirement of its chief. Chief Valerie Harris is set to retire June 29, and Captain John Ruffcorn is expected to be sworn in as police chief June 30, Ruffcorn said Tuesday morning. Harris currently makes $177,342 in salary and benefits. Her retirement compensation is yet to be calculated. Ruffcorn currently earns $129,301 in salary and benefits. There is no word yet on what his new compensation package will be or whether his position as captain will be filled. Harris, who has been chief for about five-and-a-half years, said Tuesday afternoon she is looking forward to the change. "It's 30 years," Harris said. "It's time to spend time with family and enjoy life when I'm not being a police officer 24 hours a day. I'm moving on to a new chapter, but I will still be supportive and involved in the Auburn community. I'm excited. It's going to be interesting. 30 years of law enforcement service, being a cop you are continuously on and in that mode of paying attention and the responsibility for others. It's going to be nice to focus on family, and ride bikes and enjoy vacations." Ruffcorn declined to comment about how he feels about taking over the position. "This really should be (Harris') time, and that's kind of the way I feel about it," Ruffcorn said. "She is the one that should be celebrated here before she leaves." Ruffcorn said Harris' retirement is both a sad and happy event. "Obviously she's a huge asset to the community, and she's done a wonderful job since she's been here," he said. "I think she's going to be missed. But I'm excited for her to be able to start a new endeavor as she moves forward in her life. This is an exciting time obviously for the police department. This is an exciting time for her. It's bitter sweet. You are happy that that person's moving on, but like I said she will be missed." Ruffcorn declined to comment on whether or not his position as captain will be filled once he becomes chief. "We need to sit down and talk about that," he said. "I'm talking with (city officials) about several different proposals to save some money here. I have some ideas, and obviously with the economic situation we want to try to save as much money as possible. I want to finalize with them before I speak out of turn." City Manager Bob Richardson said Tuesday the city is still working on Ruffcorn's chief salary, which would have to be approved by the City Council, as well as any potential captain position. "Both Mr. Ruffcorn's salary and the ultimate structure of the police department are currently under review and will be decided upon by the City Council by the end of June," Richardson said. Andy Heath, administrative services director for the city of Auburn, said Harris' pension information is not currently available, because it has to be calculated by CalPERS. Heath said Harris' current yearly salary is $133,949. The city also pays $43,393 for her health benefits. Ruffcorn's current salary is $101, 460 a year, and the city pays $27,841 for his health benefits. Mayor Bill Kirby said Harris has made a huge difference in the quality of the police department. "I think we have been very fortunate to have Valerie come in during a very difficult time in the police force, and she's made a lot of significant changes that have dramatically improved the quality of our police force. We are very fortunate that she brought in John Ruffcorn, who will be helping step into her shoes. Valerie has done an absolutely phenomenal job, and we are very sad to see her go but wish her the best. She has a lot to offer in other areas." Reach Bridget Jones at firstname.lastname@example.com

I would've asked for another room but was afraid of which room the clerk would assign next. Smelly, dingy, stinky stained carpet. So smelly didn't was to walk around without shoe. Internet service did not work. Old cube box tv with lil to no volume. Mold in pool... I'd suggest skipping a stay at this location and the front desk clerk was not helpful... AVOID AVOID AVOID!!!!
Great price. Close to where we wanted to go. $8/9 uber ride to jenkinson's. Room was decent. Didn't smell like smoke or anything. Comfortable bed. Big TV.
Very small room but manageable. Tight parking.
Nice porch to sit out on.
Poor to zero breakfast. Rowdy wedding crowd partied til 3 AM outside our window. On busy street.
The staff was very friendly & helpful.
I didn't care for the bedspread on the main bed in our room. Very dated looking. Also, we had to ask for the bed linens, pillow, and blanket for the futon my son slept on. No means of communication between room & front desk. Sometimes nobody at desk.
Old world charm, the restaurant & wrap-around porch, the short walk to the beach
the room was extremely small & very 'basic'
Very beautiful rooms, small but efficient and comfortable. Nice pool. Staff was very friendly. Beach passes were included. Short walk from the beach. Enjoyed every second of our stay.
The employees are very nice, the place is impeccably clean, and the beach passes are a definite plus!
Could hear the neighbors once in a while when we were in the bathroom, so we knew they could hear us. However, this was not too bad and didn't happen so often.
Clean, comfortable, professional and friendly staff, reasonable price
No, everything was fine.
Beautiful location and helpful staff.
Poor breakfast.
Location & staff.
Carpets were wet and room very musty.
The beds were smaller than expected or advertised
The hotel was perfect for our needs. Located only few blocks from the boardwalk we were able to walk there. Both PM and AM front desk associates were polite and friendly. The bed was soft and comfortable.
Would have liked to see a vending machine for water and soda.
Was close to the beach and had a nice small pool
There was a large bug in our bathroom
Clean, good location
Everyone was so friendly and helpful. The hotel was close to the beach, the breakfast was gracious, and the rooms were huge. I would definitely go there again.
The parking was rough. It's one spot per room, but we couldn't park near our room and had to park behind the hotel. At least we had a spot!

text: Sporty Tee Outfit (2011-2013) Oct 24, 2011 18:42:43 GMT -5 Quote Select PostDeselect PostLink to PostMemberGive GiftBack to Top Post by gizmosprout on Oct 24, 2011 18:42:43 GMT -5 I love this outfit. The detailing is awesome. It's easy to put on and remove, and the fabrics seem durable. You get a shirt, pants, shoes, and a "book" that is more of a paperdoll playset. The knees are made to look reinforced. The shoes are a dark teal color. The shirt is the highlight. The green part is very bright, almost lime. The trim and stitching on the front detail is navy blue. The "book" is a paperdoll type playset with a dog house and 2 dogs. It was a bit of a letdown for me because I was hoping for a story about puppies featuring 2 boy twins. It's cute, but I am skeptical that it would hold up to much play by a young child.I LOVE this outfit on the bigger dolls. I don't think I can get Kelsey (#24) to part with it. Obviously, the pants become capris, but you could pair the shirt with something else. The shoes fit the BTs and the 18 inch dolls well. It definitely gets an A in my book.

|Graduate Assistant, Offense
Wiegand arrived at Cal in 2011 after spending two seasons at Utah, where he worked as a graduate assistant with the offensive line in 2010 after one campaign as an administrative assistant for the offense in 2009. The Utes posted 10-3 records both seasons, winning the Poinsettia Bowl in 2009 and participating in the Las Vegas Bowl in 2010.
Wiegand split the 2008 season between the Los Angeles Avengers of the Arena Football League as a coaching intern and operations assistant, and Occidental College, where he coached the tight ends/h-backs and offensive line.
In 2007, he coached the offensive line and was the video coordinator for Claremont-Mudd-Scripps - a football program that serves three California colleges.
He also had two separate one-year coaching stints at Arcadia High School, working with both the offensive and defensive lines at the varsity level in 2002 and again in 2005, and also serving as the head coach of the freshman team in 2005.
Wiegand played collegiately on the offensive line at La Verne, earning first-team All-Southern California Intercollegiate Athletic Conference honors in 2006.
He graduated with a bachelor's degree in movement and sport science from La Verne in 2007 and completed a master's in organizational leadership from Azusa Pacific in 2009.
He and his wife, Brandy, were married in 2009.

With the kickoff of the 2014 high school football season quickly approaching, our reporters will be out at local practices checking in with contenders, dark horses and rebuilding teams alike as they gear up for the fall. Here is the latest installment of Camp Countdown:
Riverdale Baptist quarterback Amir Hall dropped back around the 35-yard line, checked right, then hit one of his running backs with a high-arching spiral toward the left sideline. The toss led Hall's target into just enough space, and the offense was set up for some red zone work.
Hall half danced, half skipped back to the sideline for the next play call. He seemed to have forgotten he had already been practicing for hours that afternoon — after a morning session no less — and that August two-a-days are not supposed to be quite so much fun.
But after an undefeated season in the disciplined, grounded offense of a beloved coach who stepped down this off-season, the Crusaders have a new formula they hope will yield similar results. With a new coach, new players, and a more pass-prevalent offense led by Hall, Riverdale is flying with energy and excitement despite the weight of growing expectations.
The Crusaders announced themselves last year with an undefeated season and Capital Area Football Conference championship, the culmination of eight years of building by then-coach Bob Shields. Shields built his offense around powerful running back Justin Baynes, who delivered nearly 1,400 yards rushing and 15 touchdowns. Hall longed to throw more, but understood the need to play within the Crusaders' wing-T system.
"There were times when I got frustrated, but Justin had to get the ball," Hall said. "It was my time to take a back seat."
But this year, with speedy returners and equally as elusive newcomers all over the field, new coach Caesar Nettles switched Riverdale into a pro-style spread offense.
"We don't have big running backs to play the slots like we did," senior lineman Isaac Jackson said. "We have more fast, elusive slot receivers and a better quarterback than most people might think. We can throw the ball, and people don't know that."
According to statistics reported to The Post, the Crusaders ran on 253 plays last season — or 77 percent of the time — and threw on just 77, a number likely to increase in Nettles's new offense. Part of the reason for the switch is team speed, like that in 6-2 senior Jaison Young, 6-1 Zech McPherson, and short, fast transfer Jalen Hill, a track star who moved to the area from North Carolina.
Several transfers — like Hill and linebacker Joshua Lee from Good Counsel — have joined the Crusaders this season, something that both bolsters the roster and reveals the elevated status that comes with an undefeated season, even in one of the area's lesser-known private school conferences.
"[Getting transfers] is the one thing that Coach [Caesar] has been able to do that Coach Shields wasn't," Jackson said. "Coach Shields tried to do it, but we hadn't won a lot of games in the past so he couldn't do it like he wanted to. Coach [Caesar] had the opportunity to talk to kids and say 'we just went undefeated.'"
Those transfers add weapons to a core of returners already loaded with emerging elite recruits. Junior cornerback Sir Patrick Scott earned an offer from Michigan State in this offseason, and the 6-1 speedster likely has more on the way, according to Nettles. Army offered Jackson Thursday night, joining a list of suitors that already included Hampton and others. Young has an offer from Howard, and Nettles expects those three and others to grow their lists after this season.
The growing list of high-profile recruits reveals the effect that undefeated season had on the Crusaders' national recruiting profile. Nettles hopes to raise the school's football footprint in the D.C.-area scene, too.
In addition to his CAFC schedule that includes Perry Street Prep and new-look Avalon, among others, Nettles scheduled MIAA teams like Archbishop Spalding and St. Mary's-Annapolis, as well as the IAC's Georgetown Prep. He said he hoped to schedule a WCAC team or two, which didn't work out scheduling-wise, but nevertheless thinks the revamped schedule will help his team continue to elbow its way into the minds of top prep-bound recruits and the area's elite.
"It's just to get a higher level of competition," Nettles said. "The goal is to play the best areas in the area and get to the point where we can consistently play with them. And to that, we have to start scheduling them."

Feds erred about Coast Guard texting before crash
Wednesday, October 20, 2010
Federal investigators say they were wrong when they claimed a Coast Guard crewman sent text messages just before his boat hit another vessel in San Diego Bay and killed an 8-year-old boy.
The National Transportation Safety Board reported in August that the crewman sent and received as many as six messages in the quarter-hour before the Dec. 20 crash.
But the San Diego Union-Tribune says the NTSB issued a correction last month. The agency says it mistook Central or Eastern time for Pacific time and the messages were actually sent hours earlier.
The NTSB never blamed cell phone usage for the crash.
Four crew members have been charged with military offenses. Some of the accused have blamed mechanical defects, poor training and lax leadership.

Chapter TwoPrint this Page
She was here. He'd hoped she would come to him, that the connection between them was as powerful as he had remembered. But it had been twenty-five years. She could have forgotten all about him, or blocked those painful memories from her mind.
But here she was, standing before him with her face bathed in the glow of the setting sun. Twenty-five years ago she had been a cute girl with a sprinkle of freckles across her upturned nose. Now she was a woman of such beauty that she took his breath away.
Her skin was golden and smooth. Her hair was also golden now, a darker blond than it had been years ago, the color richer and deeper. Instead of falling halfway down her back as it once had, it just skimmed her delicate shoulders as the wind sifted through it.
Her eyes were closed, her lashes lying thick and dark against her cheeks. He needed to see into her eyesinto her soul. But she kept them shut, her face lifted to the sun.
He couldn't stop himself from reaching out to her. It had been so long since he had touched her. He skimmed his fingertips along the edge of her jaw.
She gasped, but instead of pulling back she leaned closer, and her breath feathered across his lips. "I must be dreaming," she murmured. "This must be a dream "
His memories of her had always seemed like a dream. But maybe that had been because the memories really weren't his. But she was. It didn't matter how many years had passed since he'd seen her; his soulhis heartwould always know her.
But would she know him once she opened her eyes? Would she realize that he was the boy she had once loved?
He slid his thumb up over her chin and then across her bottom lip. On a shaky sigh, she parted her lips. But she didn't open her eyes. She just murmured a name. "Jordan "
It wasn't his name anymore. Not in this life
On the outside, he wasn't the man she had loved. She wouldn't recognize his face. But maybe she would recognize his touch.
His kiss.
He leaned down and closed the distance between his mouth and hers. His hands still cupping her face, he tipped her chin up. Then he brushed his lips gently across hers in a whisper-soft kiss.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott told Parliament in Canberra on Thursday that a Royal Australian Airforce Orion has been diverted to the area
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- Australian rescue officials say a search in the southern Indian Ocean for possible objects from the missing Malaysia Airlines plane has ended for the day but will resume in the morning.
A statement from the Australian Maritime Safety Authority says four planes searched an area about 2,500 kilometers southwest of Perth on Thursday.
The four planes were checking to see if two large objects spotted in satellite imagery bobbing in the ocean were debris from Fight 370 that disappeared March 8 with 239 people on board.
The statement says the search covered an area of 8,800 square miles on Thursday.
One of the objects they were searching for was almost 80 feet in length and the other was 15 feet.
Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott announces that two objects have been spotted that could possibly relate to the missing Malaysia Airlines plane. Sarah Toms reports.

May 1, 2016
07-05-04 – Crowds at Oklahoma lakes were not deterred by the new park fees over the 4th of July weekend. This is the first big holiday weekend in which lake goers at Lake Texoma and Lake Murray were forced to pay a usage fee at state parks.
The fee went into effect at Lake Murray on May 1st and some were concerned that it might affect attendance at the lake. However, park officials say the $3 a day fee did not deter lake goers, saying this year's Fourth of July turnout is the largest in recent years.
Lake managers say there were a few complaints; however most were fine with paying the fee.
The bill to raise state park fees was approved by the Oklahoma Legislature last year. The money will be used for park improvements and maintenance.

No velcro!!! Yay!!! Brilliant bag size
- Gender:Female
- Familiarity:I returned this product before using it
What I loved about this bag is that it's not too wide. It's more of a tallish bag, which is what I wanted so my arms weren't dealing with a massive bag. I LOVE that is does not have velcro to strap it down. Velcro gets to be sometimes hard to open if you have arthritis and it's loud and can snag your clothes. I loved the front 2 pockets - tall and long. No closures - easy to get into for glasses, phone, bus pass. My Mac fit perfect and it had a spot for an iPad. The shoulder strap is brilliant. It's different than most messenger bags - not like a handle it's connected to the bag (hard to describe) so that a large portion of the strap sits on your shoulders (spread the weight out). It's got protection for wet weather and it is a rugged pack. It also has a strap if i you want to clip it closer to your body for less movement. This is an awesome bag. Hope people give it a go!!!

Next meeting of Program Committee
Next meeting: Proposed 15 October, noon ET (announcement)
- 617 761 6200, code TPAC (8722)
For meeting before 19 October
- Requests for pre-selected
Before the Plenary
- June: Invite people to start thinking of breakout sessions (email to TPAC attendees).
- August: Send (reminder)
- 17 September: Update TPAC 2012 pages to reflect program committee plans.
- 18 September: Share plenary plan with meeting attendees with third invitation to propose sessions. Explain briefly pre-select process and any process to upgrade to plenary. Point to updated documentation/FAQ. Invite people (using w3c-ac-forum and wiki) to request sessions they'd like to hear about.
- 19 September to 10 October: Program committee 1-on-1 outreach to potential session leads.
- @@More work to do on how the 1-1 outreach will happen, e.g., staff input
- 19 October: Announce pre-selected breakout sessions and last push for session entries. Also announce that there will be a brief explanation of how the day works 30 minutes before the 30 Oct reception starts.
- 29 October: Make available grid near registration so people see sessions and can start putting their own on Monday and Tuesday
- 30 October: Dress rehearsal (to see that we have all we need). Before the reception show people how it works. (This was great during TPAC 2011 at the bar with the Japanese participants.)
- 31 October: Plenary
- Jeff: More outreach to CGs to propose breakout sessions.
Day of the Plenary (31 October)
- Can earlier meetings continue elsewhere if they want to keep chatting?
- Can people take lunches to their breakout rooms?
After the Plenary
- Comm Team reviews all the session summaries and builds a comprehensive summary to emphasize integration of the sessions into our broader work plan.
Notes on the agenda (especially wrt TPAC 2011)
- Schedule makes explicit travel time between sessions (a comment from TPAC 2011).
- Only two plenary sessions. (TPAC 2011 had three.) Jeff's was appreciated (and is repeated). The other is 30 minutes and will be LTs so people can share info about new work as broadly as possible.
- More discussion time. TPAC 2011 had 3:45. TPAC 2012 has 4:30.
- Scheduled breaks (suggested based on TPAC 2011).
Different slot lengths for different needs; clearer labeling of slot purpose.
- Sharing session reduced from TPAC 2011's 75 minutes to 30 minutes. There are various ways to share (per Jeff):
- Sharing session (determine number and max allocation at beginning of session)
- At Thursday AC meeting as appropriate
- In a new CG
- Electronically (e.g., recording in wiki, then sharing on mailing lists)
- We have rooms for approximately 32 breakouts.
- There are no pre-selected plenaries. We can, however, choose to guarantee up to 25% of the slots for those people who request a guaranteed slot (by some date) and who commit to organizing it.

Ideas for sessions to encourage
- Dave Raggett or Adam (Intel) about Web and Automotive upcoming workshop.
Room logistics
Notes: the plenary is on Forum level, all the TPAC meeting rooms are on the right side on the conference center
Travel times:
- From plenary to breakouts: 2-4 mins walk
- From breakouts to lunch: 2-4 mins walk (next to plenary room)
- The plenary is on Forum level, all the TPAC meeting rooms are on the right side on the conference center
- We can hold the breaks next to the breakout rooms, or in front on the Plenary room.
See also map of the space (PDF).
Good practice for session chairs
Material requirements
- Place to draw the grid in the plenary room.
- But then the grid needs to be central to the breakout rooms so that people don't have to go back and forth to the plenary room in between breakouts.
- Big postits and fat dark markers
- Alex confirms that the name of each breakout room is above the door.
Some ideas for changes from TPAC 2011
Before the meeting / pre-selected sessions
- Some people were concerned that they were investing in preparing for discussion without a guarantee that they would have a room.
- Revisit the balance of pre-selected sessions.
- Allow people to request a session. (We did this in the wiki, but is there a way to better match requests with proposals the day of the meeting?)
Session logistics
- Revisit the length of each breakout session. Be clearer about travel time.
- Perhaps add more time between sessions to allow for travel, hallway discussions
- We didn't use the "reserved slots" in the afternoon. Perhaps we don't need them, or they weren't advertised sufficiently well.
- Accessibility
- Of grid
- Of slides. Encourage HTML; if can't do HTML then other options includes powerpoint (link to accessibility tips). If you use PDF, please use tagged PDF (link to PDF techniques). See WAI resource on accessible resources
- Should there be even more breakout sessions (bleeding over into tues and thurs)?
Session management
- Even if sessions are diverse, it may be useful to set some expectations about how to run a session. E.g., at the start of each session clear statement of goals. This will also allow people to choose quickly whether they want to stay. Other people mentioned that without context, when the entered a discussion they were lost.
- Encourage people to say what sort of session they plan to organize (e.g., panel or presentation component?)
- Templates? facilitators?
- There were differing views on the sharing 2-minutes in the final plenary. For some it was too short. (People were very good about putting information in the wiki!). One suggestion was to have reporting the next day.
- Come up with ideas for turning the discussion into something that can be acted upon. E.g., ask them "what next step is appropriate?"
