Four months on from the conclusion of Sochi 2014, many of the long-term legacies that the Winter Games created are being highlighted in PyeongChang, Republic of Korea, as the IOC Debriefing of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games gets underway in the next Winter Games host city.
"The Olympic legacy is one of the main reasons we chose to host the Games," says Dmitry Chernyshenko, President of the Sochi 2014 Organising Committee. "In the course of several years, we have seen enormous changes in the region which would have taken decades without the Olympic Games."
In addition to the modern sports venues that were built in Sochi – many of which will remain open for sporting and community events – upgrades were also made to transport, engineering and telecommunication infrastructures across the city and the wider host region.
In total, more than 367km of roads and bridges, 200km of railway and 690km of utilities were built ahead of the Games, while 40 new hotels were also constructed and 15 were re-modelled, with a total capacity of 26,000 rooms.
These developments have helped transform Sochi into a year-round tourism destination, with an increased number of overseas visitors already noticeable today, contributing to the economic growth in the region.
The Sochi 2014 Winter Games also helped deliver a range of environmental benefits. These included the development of a "green construction" industry in Russia, involving the use of ecological building materials and renewable energy sources,; the reduction, reuse and recycling of waste; the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions; and an efficient use of water and energy.
On a wider scale, the Games also benefited Russian society as a whole, through efforts to promote education, physical activity, public health and inclusion throughout the country.
These and many other legacies will be highlighted during the IOC Debriefing of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games, as future Olympic host cities look to create their own successful Games legacies.

Python is a general-purpose high-level programming language whose design philosophy emphasizes code readability. Python aims to combine "remarkable power with very clear syntax", and its standard library is large and comprehensive. Its use of indentation for block delimiters is unusual among popular programming languages.
Program/Script Needed:
Download Remove-ePub-drm-use-python-script.rar . This rar files Include: Python 2.6.2, Pycrypto for Window XP, ineptkey.pyw and inepteput.pyw .
If You are not Windows XP, you need to download Bython 2.6 here: www.python.org/download/, and download Pycrpto here: www.voidspace.org.uk/python/modules.shtml

The adeptkey.der include all the epub drm keys file created.
2. Run ineptepub.pyw to remove epub drm.
A dialog windows with three parameters will pop up :

Furious after book download to PC from Angus&Robertson here in Australia would not let me transfer to my Blackberry, I combed the web, not being a competent hacker or python programmer.
Your amazingly helpful instructions and downloads helped like a dream, and I was then able to convert to PDFs using Calibri.
I am very grateful to those selfless hackers like yourself who give of their time and expertise for the benefit of us knuckleheads.
Thank you.
Worked perfectly on a Windows 7 installation. It was so fast that I didn't believe it had done anything.
DMR is evil! When I pay good money for an eBook, I want the flexibility to view and archive the material as I see fit. Now I can use the ePub books (that I legally have a right to view) with my favourite eBook reader and on all my mobile devices.
Thank You!!
using Win 7
the first script worked and created the ".der" file
however the second script is not doing anything , no GI+UI is showing up
i am using Python 2.7 and crypto for the 2.7 as well,
Win7 32 Bit
any idea ?
Everything works ok until final step an error message "error: problem decrypting session key"
Can you help
These scripts work a treat on my XP. Thanks a lot for the hard work!!
How about renaming the .txt file to ineptkey.pyw? If you get a decryption key error you have to create the adeptkey.der file with the newest ineptkey again.
Btw. the aineptepub script of course doesn't work the the acsm files. These files are only download files for ADE. You have to at least open the foo.acsm file one time with ADE to download the real encrypted pdf.
Thanks for any help. Mary
Fabulous, I had purchased a epub book from Borders to read on my iPad, but the Borders app kept crashing. I already had been using Calibre to convert all my .lit files to epub for iPad. This worked perfectly - I have Windows 7.
This works great in Windows 7. However, in spite of the claim that it works in Linux, I am unable to run it in Ubuntu with Python and PyCrypto installed.
I would appreciate a clear step-by-step for Linux as, I'm sure, the Mac OSX guys would too.
I get the adeptkey.der all right but nothing happens when I double click ineptepub.pyw.
I hope you can offer a suggestion. Thanks in advance.
Incredible fast.
Thanks, now I can tranfser my books to my beloved kindle :)
- You rock
- Let me know where to send your beer of choice :)
It worked ok with the drm protected epub I've bought and downloaded from bol.com. This epub I could read with Adobe Digital Editions, but not on my Foxit eSlick e-reader (it does not support epubs-with-drm).
Thanks for this "how to"!
Because I read here no reactions on the "Error: problem decrytping session key" message, I will make a guess.
The Remove-ePub-drm-use-python-script.rar file includeds 2 epubs-with-drm. When I try to remove drm from these example files, I get the same error message.
My guess is that first-step ineptkey.pyw gets the key from Adobe Digital Editions (and not from the epubs). And that therefore second-step
ineptepub.pyw only is able to remove drm from your own ADE epubs and is not able te remove drm from the included sample epbus.
I have also followed the instructions to the letter, on both an old XP machine and a Mac.
Everything seems to work, I get the adeptkey file, and then run ineptepub, chose the key, chose the folder that contains my adobe digital editions ebooks, chose an output folder, click decrypt and then nothing. Absolutely nothing happens.
Can anyone help?
if you can create the adeptkey.der file, you can also remove drm from epub files.
But he ineptepub.pyw just remove drm from ADE protected epub, when the folder contains a epub not protected, the script will stop.
The ePub Drm Removal can skip the none-drm epub to remove all drm protected epub, you can download it to have a try!
I can't seem to create the adeptkey.der file. When I attempt to run ineptkey.pyw nothing seems to happen and my Digital Editions folder files are unchanged (still have DRM).
Just tried the scripts. When I run ineptkey.pyw, I get a dialog that includes: ADEPT Key, Error: Failed to decrypr user key (sic). This is on an XP system, ADE 126.96.36.1991. I hope you have a suggestion. Thanks
I installed it and it worked perfect on my own netbook with my own ebooks. The I got a few ebooks from a friend and I can't decrypt those, keep getting the message that a lot of people get: " Error: problem decrytping session key "
I also gave the unzipped package to another friend to install it but he has the same problem: " Error: problem decrytping session key "
Any suggestions?
Now I can finally read my LEGALLY bought epub books in my Kindle! Fantastic! (Windows 7 user)
Everything appears to work except for the error I get:
Error in: [book name] not an ADEPT EPUB
Thanks for the instructions - much to my surprise I managed to do this!
Next challenge is to get these books (originally purchased for Kobo eReader)converted to Kindle format :)
I installed on OS X but when I run aineptepub.pyw, and click on "Decrypt Whole Directory, if fails with the error:
No such file or directory: '/Users/bob/Documents/Digital Editions\\The_Kidnapping.epub'.
Instead of the "\\", it should be a single forward slash. How can I correct this?
This does not work with filenames with special characters under linux. My guess is that it fails to implement UTF8 support in some way.
Error in ??????ü.epub[Errno 2] No such file or directory '/home/user/temp/drmremove\\xc3\xa6\xc3\xb8\xc3\xa4\xc3\xab\xc3\xb6\xc3\xbc.eub'
Any contact info for the author? :P

works fine without this error, so I guess it has something to do with how the script you links to gets the file list. Unfortunately, I don't speak Python.
I am running Python 2.7.1 on linux. (Seeing as python 2.6.X is no longer maintained by my (or any recent?) distro.
There is a bug in aineptepub.pyw that affects Mac OS X (and possibly other *nix). The script checks if it is a Windows or *nix system but always return a windows system.
The quick and dirty fix for Mac-users is to comment out line 319-324 and insert the following two lines:
The section should look like this when you are done.
# if re.match('//',inpath):
# inpath=inpath+'//'
# outpath=outpath+'//'
# else:
# inpath=inpath+'\\'
# outpath=outpath+'\\'
Firstly, the instructions fail to mention that the decrypted ebooks may only be read on certain readers. I found ebook, free open sourced reader, worked best on android--but think is on many devices.
Secondly, some books work and other do not. Trying epubee, the fail too, however, this program puts out a log. I believe it said something didn't match a following part. One book was 2 megs, and the garbage decrypted book was only one quarter of 2 megs.
I wonder if an alternative py would work on these failed books.

Ken: Not to mention running out of fuel on the last lap at Monza too! All these idiots talking about "if Fabrizio did this" and "if Tardozzi made them do that" seem to be missing the point that Nori missed out after Spies crashed at Assen and had technical problems at Kyalami.
If Spies' Dad was leaning to the left when he shot his wad or his Mum had her ankles round her neck, Ben would be a girl... Look in the history books in ten years time, 'Spies, Ben' will still be listed as 2009 WSBK Champ.

I was using this and it worked great but when I ran out, I tried another brand that was also supposedly formulated to stay in the blood for 12 hours. Within a day, I was in pain again. I can trust this one to work, so it's the one I will buy.
Good quality!

Rant about 'My So-called secret Identity'So, last week a new web-comic was launched. Creator/writer Will Brooker seemingly -at some point- walked into a comic store, and after seeing all the comic covers with boobs and women with their clothes falling off (his words) he understood instantly why girls would never set foot in a comic store (again his words). So he decided to do something about it. He started writing a comic targeted especially at young women, starring "Cat", our 'strong female lead'. Sounds really noble right.Rant about 'My So-called secret Identity' by ElsaKroese More Like This

Beyoncé rocks her diva hairstyle with tons of volume and layered curls.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Mist damp hair with texturizing spray and then blow-dry haphazardly while shaking out your hair with your fingers. Create a center part and backcomb slightly at the very top of your head.
Step 2: Spritz the lower part of a one-inch section with styling spray and wrap around a largecurlingironHold in place for a few seconds to set the curl, release and repeat all over. Curl face-framing sections away from face and alternate curl direction on the sides and in back.
Step 3: Run fingers through hair to break up the curls and coax fullness.

|Gender norms contribute to expectations and behavior for both men and women, and can either reinforce or detract from HIV prevention, care, and treatment efforts. In many of the countries where PEPFAR works, women and girls are disproportionately impacted by the epidemic. In sub-Saharan Africa, nearly 60% of those living with HIV are women3. In some countries, HIV prevalence among girls between the ages of 15 and 19 is three to four times higher than HIV prevalence among boys of the same age.4
Structural and cultural conditions at the country level contribute to these disparities. By working to change these conditions, both PEPFAR and the larger GHI will assist countries in improving overall health outcomes for women and girls. For example, PEPFAR's prevention programs work to reduce cultural acceptance of crossgenerational sex with older, more sexually experienced, and potentially high-risk male partners. Research supported by the USG is helping to spur development of microbicides, a woman-controlled prevention method. In programs with women, law enforcement and community leaders, PEPFAR strengthens awareness of reporting, treatment services, and systems that address sexual and gender-based violence. Finally, PEPFAR's work with peer education programs assist women in making decisions about their own health and relationships, and assist communities in supporting this role for women.
Gender inequities limit women's power over family and sexual relationships. They contribute to economic, legal, and educational inequities that place women and girls in situations where they cannot protect themselves from HIV. Unequal land tenure laws may mean that widows cannot gain ownership of land following the death of their husbands, leading them to poverty and homelessness. Women who lack access to other economic opportunities may engage in transactional sex for motivations ranging from survival to obtaining status-enhancing material goods. Women and girls who are denied the opportunity to attend school miss important opportunities to learn about HIV and the ways it is transmitted.
The negative impacts of culturally-driven gender norms may be most apparent for women, but have a significant impact on men as well. For example, prevention efforts cannot work if men face pressure to engage in behavior that is risky for themselves and their partners. Cultural expectations around gender norms further stigmatize men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender individuals, making it harder for these populations to access health services. PEPFAR's behavior change communication efforts must work to reduce risky behavior, such as procuring commercial sex or abusing alcohol, and create broader support for men who engage in positive behavior. In addition, men are essential partners in efforts to engage in national and community-level changes that address the impact of gender norms. Male leaders are often the ones with the power and platform to convince others to change behavior, policies, and cultural norms.
Addressing gender in the health sector involves activities beyond providing health services to women. The benefits of helping women access care, legal rights, and economic opportunity are clear for both men and women. Through its gender efforts, PEPFAR is facilitating participation of women and men in work that helps their families and communities. PEPFAR's gender work will be linked to efforts to strengthen health systems and engage greater involvement of women as leaders, health care workers and decision makers.
PEPFAR is committed to ensuring gender equity in its prevention, care, and treatment services. This concept of gender equity is one that PEPFAR strives to integrate within all of its programming, taking into account the ways in which gender norms and barriers contribute to epidemics at the country context. In addition to integrating gender throughout its prevention, care, and treatment activities, PEPFAR's gender strategy focuses on five crosscutting areas:
Through its existing gender strategy PEPFAR has demonstrated, and will continue, its commitment to gender equity at the highest levels of leadership. What must now occur is a robust, country-specific gender response in its programs.
Despite the range of successes in recent years, gender disparities in HIV prevalence persist in most PEPFAR countries. Country-level programming and investments do not always meet the needs that exist at the community level. In addition, PEPFAR's programs to address cross-cutting gender issues have not always successfully translated priorities into practice. Assessing gender equity in HIV/ AIDS programs and services requires careful analysis of gender disparities and programming to address those disparities. To date, data have been lacking to help PEPFAR and other programs assess the quality and true scope of gender programming.
Over the next phase of PEPFAR, and in conjunction with the GHI, the program is expanding, assessing, and improving its programming to target gender inequity and the needs of women and girls. Its work includes the following:
Increasing partner government commitment to supporting gender equity through bilateral and multilateral mechanisms
Ensuring gender-equitable access to prevention, care, and treatment programming under PEPFAR, as well as PEPFAR's linkages to broader development programming
PEPFAR programs also address the detrimental impacts of negative gender norms upon men and boys. During its next phase, PEPFAR is working with countries to change cultural expectations that associate masculinity with behaviors, such as multiple concurrent partnerships, that put individuals at increased risk for HIV.
Helping countries and programs translate gender principles into operational programs
Expanding monitoring and evaluation, and increasing impact measurement
Scaling up national programs to address gender-based violence

The door is open for more charges, but the owner of Springs Transmissions and Automotive was formally charged with 31 counts Monday morning in his first appearance.
Ehnes was arrested at the end of September on numerous allegations of shady practices and criminal activity, including car theft, motor vehicle repair violations and fraud. Police say there may be as many as 50 victims. The business has had even more run-ins with the law since he bonded out.
Ehnes has maintained his innocence, telling 11 News during the police investigation that the allegations against him were completely untrue. He said Monday that he isn't ripping people off, but did acknowledge getting into more trouble since bonding out.

eBay watch: 1970s space age Schneider SSS Stereo portable record player for under £100
It is a design we have featured before, as well as being one of the stars of the must-have L'Utopie Du Tout Plastique book. But for once, there's a Schneider SSS Stereo portable record player on a 'buy it now' of under £100 - although there are perhaps one or two reasons for that.
The description on the item is minimal - there are a few pictures, with condition described as both 'good' and 'working'. But it's perhaps worth looking closely at those images. It certainly doesn't look mint, although it does look complete.
It's your call and of course, your money. If you want to take a chance, £99 is the buy it now price.

I don't think we should include optimize in the demo; many people start from the demo and may think you must optimize to do searching, and that's clearly not the case.
I think we should also use a buffered reader in FileDocument?
And... I'm tempted to remove IndexHTML (and the html parser) entirely. It's ancient, and we now have Tika to extract text from many doc formats.

Bulk close for 3.1
crap - forgot to commit branch_3x part 3 port...
This patch:
- fixes demo2.html to remove description of the streaming search removed from the SearchFiles demo app by Robert's patch
- removes the obsolete "<root directory>" text from the usage message in the IndexFiles demo app, as well as the same info in demo.html
- Stops the SearchFiles demo app in interactive mode from asking for which page to navigate to when there are zero results - instead asks for another query.
Committing shortly.
Fix for modules/benchmark/build.xml committed to trunk rev. 1072393. (branch_3x doesn't have this problem since it has no modules and the benchmark contrib works the same as the other contribs for the generate-maven-artifacts target.)
The nightly hudson trunk maven build failed last night because the benchmark jar wasn't being produced by the dist-maven target, which is called from the generate-maven-artifacts target. From https://hudson.apache.org/hudson/job/Lucene-Solr-Maven-trunk/31/consoleText :
dist-maven: [artifact:deploy] Deploying to file:///usr/home/hudson/hudson-slave/workspace/Lucene-Solr-Maven-trunk/checkout/modules/dist/maven [artifact:deploy] An error has occurred while processing the Maven artifact tasks. [artifact:deploy] Diagnosis: [artifact:deploy] [artifact:deploy] Error deploying artifact 'org.apache.lucene:lucene-benchmark:jar': Error deploying artifact: File /usr/home/hudson/hudson-slave/workspace/Lucene-Solr-Maven-trunk/checkout/modules/benchmark/build/lucene-benchmark-4.0-SNAPSHOT.jar does not exist BUILD FAILED
This can be fixed by putting back the dist-maven specialization that I took out of modules/benchmark/build.xml:
<target name="dist-maven" depends="jar-core,javadocs,contrib-build.dist-maven"/>
Committing shortly.
Initial patch commited: trunk rev. 1072250, branch_3x rev. 1072386.
Leaving this issue open to deal with Robert's patch.
Here's a patch that removes the custom collector and the "-paging false/streaming" option, simplifying the demo a lot more.
+1. I think the site docs will also need some revision.
Here's a patch that removes the custom collector and the "-paging false/streaming" option, simplifying the demo a lot more.
Thanks Steven!
This patch adds the following (and includes all of Mike's patch):
- IntelliJ IDEA configuration adjustments
- Maven POM adjustments
- Source and regenerated site docs
- contrib/demo/build.xml builds the Lucene core jar in the init target if it doesn't exist or if its .java source files are newer than the jar.
- contrib/demo/build.xml default target is now jar-core
- At Mike's suggestion on #lucene IRC, added javadoc comment to IndexFiles pointing out that 1 input doc per file is slow, and that good throughput can be gained by putting multiple docs in a single input file.
- Other minor cleanups
Committing shortly.
Woops! Thanks Steven.
Mike, a small typo:
To apply the patch you first have to do this:
svn mv lucene/contrib/benchmark/src/java/org/apache/lucene/demo/html modules/benchmark/src/java/org/apache/lucene/benchmark/byTask/feeds/demohtml
That should be svn mv lucene/contrib/demo/src/... modules/benchmark/src/...
Thanks Steven.
Right, I removed both because I think we don't need maven details in the build.xml (since the Maven POMs are now separately configured).. well, and because we don't make a WAR anymore.
Can someone lookover my changes to the build xml files? (Especially the Maven part, where I completely guessed!).
I skimmed the patch and can see that you removed the specializations of the dist-maven task in both modules/benchmark/ and lucene/contrib/demo/. For benchmark, the specialization was trivial and didn't change any behavior, so I assume that's why you dropped it. In the demo case, the specialization was introduced to be able to deploy the .war file, but since the .war file is no longer produced, the dist-maven specialization is no longer required. Later today I'll have time to apply the patch and do sanity checking on the maven outputs.
One thing left to do (I can handle this separately): change the Maven POMs for the benchmark and demo modules.
New patch.
I inverted IndexFiles -create to IndexFiles -update (ie default is now create, like before).
Added reference to web-site docs in the jdocs, and added comment on the optional "increase RAM buffer size" that you should also -Xmx your JVM.
I think it's ready to commit, but separately we have to fix the web site.
OK new patch, fixing a number of things:
- I close the Reader (thanks Mark).
- I cutover to NumericField (and stopped using DateTools) for the
"modified" field.
- I added a -create option to IndexFiles, so you can see how to
CREATE vs CREATE_OR_APPEND
- I left commented-out optional things – calling optimize,
increasing IW's RAM buffer.
- Don't use Version.LUCENE_CURRENT.
- I sucked in test files from Lucene in Action 2E's tests (open
source licenses).
- I use addDocument or updateDocument depending on -create.
- I made the "demo html parser" private to modules/benchmark, which
had a dependency on it. Can someone lookover my changes to the
build xml files? (Especially the Maven part, where I completely
- IndexHTML is gone, and the webapp (src/jsp/*) is gone too.
To apply the patch you first have to do this:
svn mv lucene/contrib/benchmark/src/java/org/apache/lucene/demo/html modules/benchmark/src/java/org/apache/lucene/benchmark/byTask/feeds/demohtml svn mv lucene/contrib/demo/src/test/org/apache/lucene/demo/html modules/benchmark/src/test/org/apache/lucene/benchmark/byTask/feeds/demohtml
I don't think we should include optimize in the demo;
I wonder if it wouldn't be better to leave it, but commented out - with a short explanation.
Optimizing is not necessary, but it clearly has benefits to query perf! If you are not updating often, I think it can make perfect sense.
So I'm fine with just dropping, but not sure if commenting it out and putting something like:
// for an index that is not updated often, we might optimize now
or variation...
I think we should also use a buffered reader in FileDocument?
And close the reader...
Yeah, we remove the optimize. Too many people tell me exactly that they should optimize because they see it in almost every demo code. Optimizing is with recent Lucene versions not needed anymore. It's hard to explain to people, so example code and books should never tell to optimize. In books about lucene there should also be an explanation when optimizing is needed or usefully, put prevent people from always doing this.

The Hall of Fame ballot sits on my desk, just to the left of my computer. Of the 36 names on it, three have the boxes next to their names marked with an X: Jack Morris, of course; Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine. A fourth box, the one next to Frank Thomas, may also get an X upon further review.
The boxes next to these 10 names will not get an X: Jeff Bagwell, Craig Biggio, Barry Bonds, Roger Clemens, Eric Gagne, Paul Lo Duca, Mark McGwire, Rafael Palmeiro, Mike Piazza, Sammy Sosa.
These non-exes won't get my vote because they were proved to have cheated, admitted they cheated or are strongly suspected of having cheated. I have not voted for any player in those categories and am not prepared to start doing so now.
Fans of these players and even non-fan observers will ask how I can consider someone a cheat if he has never tested positive. I have two answers:
- Some of them might have used steroids before baseball began testing for performance-enhancing substances and stopped before the tests could catch them.
- If I'm wrong on any particular player, so be it, but I'd rather err on the side of caution. I wouldn't want to learn two or three years after the fact that I had helped elect a cheater. Anyway my one vote won't keep anyone out of the Hall.
This is an admittedly difficult task the baseball writers have, and each writer has to decide his own way of dealing with the issue of steroids. Question us if you'd like, but it won't make you right and us wrong.
Now as far as questioning Hall of Fame voters goes, I am questioning the 16 voters who unanimously elected Tony La Russa and Joe Torre to the Hall. They created a double standard with their vote.
A reader made the point succinctly:
"So why do the players get penalized in Hall of Fame voting, but the managers, who either knew or should have known, become unanimous selections?"
Good question.
According to Bill Madden of the New York Daily News, about whose coverage of that vote you can read more about in the next column, "Almost to a man, the Hall of Fame players have condemned the alleged steroids cheats…." Yet six Hall of Fame players were on the 16-man expansion era committee, and all six voted for La Russa and Torre, electing them with Bobby Cox. "Three class-act managers with impeccable credentials," Madden called them.
Look more closely at those credentials, though, and you'll find that La Russa and Torre managed teams that won championships with significant contributions from steroid cheats.
La Russa and Torre might not have used steroids themselves, but they benefited from players who did. Why should those players be penalized but the managers they helped are rewarded?
Jose Canseco could be called the godfather of baseball steroids or the Johnny Appleseed of steroids in baseball. Make him the poster boy of baseball steroids if you'd like. He was all of those. La Russa knew that Canseco used steroids, which, of course, were banned in baseball and illegal in the country.
After Canseco's book "Juiced" was published in 2005, the report said, La Russa told a television program that after he got a new contract with Oakland, when La Russa was the A's manager, Canseco "would laugh about the time that other guys were spending [in the gym] and how he didn't have to, because he was, he was doing the other 'helper.' He was having help in a different way. You know, the easy way."
La Russa wasn't so forthcoming about Mark McGwire. Canseco wrote in his book that he injected McGwire with steroids, but when McGwire was scheduled to appear before a Congressional committee probing steroids in baseball in 2005, La Russa was his staunchest defender.
He continued to support McGwire after he repeatedly told the committee, "I'm not here to talk about the past." But the manager was probably the only person in baseball who didn't think or acknowledge that McGwire's answer was a de facto admission of guilt.
When McGwire went to work as a St. Louis coach with La Russa and admitted his use, the manager made a comment that was greeted mostly with skepticism.
"I didn't know anything," La Russa said of McGwire's drug use. "Mark and I never confronted it, and he never told me until this morning."
Even if La Russa's statement was truthful, it says little for him that with all of the steroids talk that swirled around McGwire he didn't question his old friend before hiring him. It defies logic.
But the whole issue of steroids and what La Russa knew and when he knew it reduces La Russa's otherwise "class-act" standing and serves as Exhibit A in the argument against his election to the Hall of Fame.
Exhibit B is Torre's status. He managed so many steroids suspects with the New York Yankees his success with them has to be reconsidered.
Guilt by association? Not at all.
I am not suggesting that Torre or La Russa had anything to do with steroids. But to repeat the point made earlier they benefited from their players' use of performance-enhancing drugs, and their success should be tempered by that contribution.
Torre had Alex Rodriguez (two most valuable awards in Torre's last three seasons, Roger Clemens (Cy Young award), Andy Pettitte, Jason Giambi, Chuck Knoblauch, Gary Sheffield, Kevin Brown, Mike Stanton, Jason Grimsley, David Justice, Glenallen Hill, Denny Neagle, Todd Williams, and Canseco.
Not all of these players contributed to championships and some spent little time with Torre, but the Yankees collected Mitchell report names like kids collect baseball cards, or at least used to collect them. From their number came helpful hitters and pitchers, helpful to Torre's victory total in his Yankees' years, which were far more productive than the years Torre spent elsewhere.
Payroll was an even bigger factor in Torre's success, but I'm talking about steroids, not money, and how managers like Torre and La Russa benefitedu from their players' steroid use while the players pay a steep price.
Should Torre and La Russa have known about their steroids' users? I always liked Chuck Tanner when he was managing in the 1970s and '80s, but I was very disappointed when he testified in one of the Pittsburgh cocaine trials in 1985 and told the jury he knew nothing about cocaine being distributed in the clubhouse. He was in his office before games, he testified, and didn't see what players were doing in their part of the clubhouse. Some of them were getting cocaine deliveries from the Pirate Parrot, the team mascot, and Tanner either knew it or should have known it.
A manager is responsible for knowing what goes on in his clubhouse and not bury himself in his office so he doesn't know.
As Sparky Anderson, a legitimate Hall of Fame manager, said, "Ninety percent of the people sitting in the stands can make the same moves I do. My job is managing the clubhouse."

Tony-nominated John Tartaglia (b. February 16, 1978) originated the roles of Princeton and Rod in Avenue Q, off- and on-Broadway, and in the short-lived Las Vegas production; he recently played Pinocchio and the Magic Mirror in Shrek on Broadway and previously played Lumiere in the Broadway production of Beauty and the Beast. He is to originate the role of The Genie in Aladdin, a new stage production of Disney's movie musical, and direct Because of Winn-Dixie, a new production with a real dog on stage.
He began on Sesame Street at the age of 16. He performed background characters and recorded vocals for "Brothers and Sisters" with Stephanie D'Abruzzo (EKA: Episode 4056). Season 35 was the final season of Sesame Street John participated in as a regular, but he continues to return every year for a minor project.
|It is funny because we'd give the humans and celebrities a hard time when they came on [Sesame Street], when they were talking to the puppet and they'd look at the puppeteer and at the monitor that the puppeteers watch to perform. My first two days of shooting were really weird. I kept looking at Leslie [Carrara-Rudolph], who performs Ginger, and I'm like, "What am I doing? I know better than that!" It is challenging at first, but the puppeteers we have on the show are the best of the best, and they always make me believe that they are real. It doesn't take much to believe for a little while that you are talking to these real creatures. [1]

Speeches, Remarks, and Interviews
Remarks by Ambassador James B. Foley at the Opening of the Counter Corruption Best Practices for Europe Conference - Zagreb
March 8, 2011
Respected members of the Croatian and regional governments, Ladies and Gentlemen, it is an honor to address you today and welcome you to this beautiful city for such an important conference.
During my eighteen months in Zagreb, I have seen remarkable progress in the development of Croatia's institutional capacity to fight corruption. This effort begins with political leadership. Prime Minister Kosor's directive that there are no untouchables in Croatia has had a profound impact. I realize that for the citizens of Croatia the results of recent investigations and prosecutions, and the everyday revelations of corruption in high places, have been dismaying, and understandably so. But I believe that history will look back on this period as a turning point, when impunity stopped and accountability began. The fact that a former prime minister now sits in an Austrian jail awaiting extradition to Croatia for a corruption investigation is indicative of a big problem to be sure. But it is at the same time a powerful warning that ought to send chills down the spine of any politician in Croatia and hopefully the region who may think about committing corruption in the future.
As will be discussed, the Croatian Government in recent years has strengthened the tools available to police, prosecutors, and courts, and especially to USKOK, the State Prosecutor's Office for the Suppression of Corruption and Organized Crime. Yet much hard work remains to be done, in Croatia and I expect in many of your countries as well, to enhance financial and cybercrime investigation capabilities, fully implement a system to manage seized assets, and develop effective interagency coordination. I hope this conference will generate useful ideas and contacts to assist you in these areas.
The United States has spent the last decade helping Croatia build its anticorruption institutions in line with Croatia's own vision and priorities. From the establishment of USKOK in 2001 to prosecute organized crime and corruption cases, to the creation in 2009 of a dedicated national police unit and specialized panels of judges to hear these complex cases, the United States has worked closely with these institutions as they developed and became the success stories they are today. Our efforts, while diminishing in terms of funds, remain strong in terms of support and advice, and when needed, concrete assistance. And we have reached the point where today American law enforcement and judicial institutions are cooperating productively with their Croatian counterparts in a number of sensitive ongoing corruption investigations.
It is sometimes overlooked that Croatia further strengthened its institutional capabilities by passing in 2009 a major revision to its Law on Criminal Procedures. The new law gave prosecutors and police many new tools to fight corruption, which Mr. Cvitan and his USKOK colleagues will describe for you during this conference. Two of the important changes were strengthened asset seizure laws and the ability of the Prosecutor to grant limited immunity to cooperating witnesses. Both of these are already having positive impacts on investigations. As has been the case in the United States, asset seizures and grants of immunity are proving to be formidable instruments that help shift the balance of power away from the corrupt and to the police and prosecutors, especially in cases against top-level suspects. Another change, which took effect in just the past month, is the creation of new State Judicial and Prosecutorial Councils. The corps of judges, prosecutors, and law professors now elect their own representatives to the councils. These independent councils will help minimize political influence in the appointment and oversight of judges and prosecutors and thereby consolidate the rule of law on an enduring basis.
Of course, at the end of the day what is crucial are not only investigative tools, but the willingness of police and prosecutors to use them. It takes a great deal of dedication and indeed professional courage to investigate high-level corruption, especially when a suspect is a powerful politician, a colleague, a friend, or even your boss - and I salute in this regard Chief State prosecutor Mladen Bajic and his outstanding colleagues for their courage and professionalism. It also takes courage on the part of witnesses willing to testify about corruption, but as we have seen recently in Croatia, they will take courage if the same is demonstrated by police and prosecutors. This is indeed the process by which the rule of law can become institutionalized.
I would like to point out that one of the U.S. expert advisors who worked with Croatia on developing many of these tools to fit its needs and its legal system is Jeff Palmer, who is here today and will speak to this conference about interagency efforts to fight corruption. Jeff is now assisting police and prosecutors in Podgorica, and I want to thank USKOK for their willingness to partner with Jeff and our Montenegrin colleagues as they develop their own anticorruption institutions.
I know that corruption investigations are often complex, resource intensive projects. They tend to involve international and internet-based transactions and communications requiring cooperation with numerous foreign authorities. Today, one requires a great deal of financial and computer expertise, and sometimes a little luck, to track economic crimes, money flows, and hidden assets. Countries throughout the region need assistance building financial and cybercrime skillsets within police and prosecutors offices. This conference has panels on best practices for combating corruption and money laundering. I hope that you, the participants, will use these sessions to learn both the resources that are available to assist you and also to build personal ties across borders in order to foster cooperation on transnational cases.
Corruption is a fact of life. It will never be completely eliminated. This is just as true in my country as it is in Croatia. What we need to strive for, however, is a system where corruption is the exception rather than the norm. Where it is not accepted as the easy way to get things done, but instead is viewed as the crime that it is. This change is starting to take hold in Croatia With all of our efforts, it can happen throughout the region.
Thank you.

text: Home Culture Florida Makes Concessions in Voter-Purge Suit Plaintiffs say that the agreement "represents a historic milestone for voting rights." By: Jenée Desmond-Harris Posted: Sept. 12 2012 1:35 PM 0 Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi (Mark Wilson/Getty Images) In a case filed by civil rights organizations surrounding Florida's efforts to purge its voter rolls of suspected noncitizens, the state agreed on Wednesday to several concessions in a settlement that Advancement Project Co-Director Judith Brown Dianis says "represents a historic milestone for voting rights in Florida," and "will ensure that naturalized citizens, the majority of whom are Latino, black and Asian, have the same opportunities as all Americans to participate in our political process and exercise the most fundamental right in our democracy -- the right to vote." According to Advancement Project's press release on the news, the state of Florida agreed to the following concessions: Restore to the voter rolls any individual from the list of potential non-citizens (the 2600 person list) who was removed from the voter rolls and whom the Supervisors of Elections cannot confirm as non-citizens in the SAVE database. Send a notice to all registered voters who received letters in April (the letters informing them that they may not be eligible to vote) informing them that they are indeed registered to vote, excluding individuals confirmed to be non-citizens. The inclusion of anyone's name on the list of potential non-citizens should not be interpreted as a determination of his or her eligibility to vote No one should have to vote a provisional ballot simply because his or her name appeared on the list of potential non-citizens. In exchange, Plaintiffs will dismiss their discrimination claims (under Section 2 of the voting rights act, and section 8(b)(1) of the NVRA). The 90-day claim -- section 8(c) of the NVRA -- will remain alive for now. "The lawsuit and settlement show that all citizens should have the same right to cast a ballot without confronting unfounded questions about their eligibility to vote," said Advancement Project Co-Director Penda D. Hair. Read more at the Advancement Project. Like The Root on Facebook. Follow us on Twitter. Get what we're watching delivered to your inbox everyday! Sign up for our daily video newsletter below.

The annual Cinco in the Park celebration became a backdrop for the Denver mayoral race Saturday as candidates Michael Hancock and Chris Romer both participated in the fiesta's parade.
Third-place finisher James Mejia also walked the parade route with his family and a couple dozen supporters in a show of gratitude to voters.
Hancock and Romer are courting the endorsement of Mejia, who received 29,170 votes and just fell short of making the runoff by about 1,600 votes.
According to Mejia, he has already met with both candidates. But he said he would meet with each again Saturday afternoon and make a final decision early this week.
"I'm also having my team meet with their teams to talk about which of our policies might be moved forward and if there were to be a role for my team in their campaigns," said Mejia.
"I think our 'Buy Denver' initiative is one policy area that really resonated with people, and I think both of their campaigns would agree with that."
Mejia said his decision will not be motivated by any promises of a lucrative position in the next administration.
"I'm just looking at what is best for the city of Denver," Mejia said.
A Mejia endorsement would be boost to either candidate, each of whom has already netted support from unsuccessful mayoral hopefuls.
As the parade looped through downtown, Romer rode along in a vintage firetruck with supporters. Hancock's "ballot bus" rolled close behind, with a couple dozen supporters walking ahead of it.
"It feels good to be out here shaking hands with people and honoring the heritage and the progress of the Latino community," Hancock said.
Romer added that "anytime you're able to go out and do retail handshakes, it's an awesome day. That's what a mayor's race should be about, and Cinco de Mayo is a very important celebration in our community."

Dec. 13: Happy 375th Birthday, National Guard!
What we know today as the National Guard came into being on Dec. 13, 1636, when the Massachusetts General Court in Salem directed all able-bodied men between 16 and 60 years old to join the militia.
That's according to Bill Boehm, National Guard Bureau, writing on the Department of Defense website.
We've now come to know the National Guard in many ways, from helping on the home front during hurricanes and other natural disasters, to supplementing our fighting forces overseas.
Happy 375th, National Guard.
By the way, Gov. Bob McDonnell presented Virginia National Guard leaders with a certificate of recognition on Tuesday. Since the terrorist attacks of Sept, 11, 2001, more than 14,000 Virginia National Guardsman and Airmen have seen service.

In order to turn over aging inventory and make way for more current stock, some products on our site are listed in a "Dutch Auction". In a Dutch Auction, the selling price of a product is repeatedly lowered every day until product is sold out. As a result of the decreasing purchase price the product deal becomes more enticing to other buyers.
Act quickly to purchase at this "special price" before inventory is depleted and the product is sold out.

A Summary of Closure
When it comes to the end of a relationship, the loss of a loved one, or even a national tragedy, we are often told we need "closure." School children are told to find closure after a shooting. A nation seeks closure after 9/11. Mourners search for closure after a funeral, and family members want it following a homicide. Families of missing persons search for closure, as do Katrina survivors and other victims of natural disasters. People are told to find closure after their pets die. Closure is a new emotional state, one that people supposedly need to find in order to heal after a loss. But do people need closure? Or is it even possible to find closure after bad things happen? Why has talk about closure become so popular?
Closure has become a central part of sales talks in the funeral, grief, relationship advice, and memorialization industries as well as a political argument for issues ranging from the death penalty to roadside memorials. Closure provides an engaging behind-the-scenes look at how and why the concept of closure is used to sell products and politics.
But what is closure? There is no agreed upon answer. Closure has been described as justice, peace, healing, acceptance, forgiveness, moving on, resolution, answered questions, or revenge. And how are you supposed to find this closure? People try to find closure by planting trees, acquiring memorial tattoos, forgiving murderers, watching killers die, talking to offenders, writing letters, burning letters, burning wedding dresses, burying wedding rings, casting spells, taking trips to Hawaii, buying expensive pet urns, committing suicide, talking to dead people, reviewing autopsies, and planning funerals. And this is just a partial list.
Talking about closure limits how we think about grief and fails to capture the experiences of many who grieve over death or other losses. Some people struggle to meet social expectations for closure when privately they resent the idea or, worse, they wonder whether something is wrong with them because they do not have closure.
Nancy Berns explores these issues and their ramifications in her timely book, Closure. Readers can use this book to untangle the web of closure and help understand the emotional and social experiences resulting from grief and loss.

Got a minute?
Got a minute?
First of all, both stress and lack of sleep can make you poor. Don't believe us? How about the fact that 69 percent of those surveyed said that money concerns were the biggest stress factor to them.
Here's the crazy part. Do you think it's more detrimental to sleep a longer amount of time or not at all? We admit this is a loaded question. People who slept less than seven hours and those who did not sleep for more than 48 hours have the same cognitive thinking skills. Maybe this is the case for all-nighters, although we're not placing any bets behind it.
Check out the infographic below for more revelations on stress and late nights.

+1 on the Kevlar Spinskins. I've used 'em and was happy with 'em.
"I tell you, We are here on earth to fart around, and don't let anybody tell you any different." - Kurt Vonnegut jr.
Sorry. Forgot to add that it's a 29'er
I suck at pedaling but man can I coast.
The Slime tire liners work.
I used those, with a combination of those superthick "armored" tubes with the slime tube sealant inside them for a while. Never had any flats, just the tires were a lot heavier...
I ditched the real heavy stuff when I started racing.
2007 Kona Dawg
2009 Trek 3900
So could I possibly buy three of these for two 29" wheels? Use one strip as a cut and patch piece to fill the gap of putting a 26" liner in a 29" wheel?
I suck at pedaling but man can I coast.
For years I've been using previous flatted tubes to line my tires. Slice a tube all the way around the inside like it were a fish being gutted. Snip the stem off. Stick it in the tire. Take another tube that will be inflated and line the inside of the sliced tube with the good tube. Make sure it's partially inflated so it holds the sliced tube in place as you install the good tube. Seat the tire, inflate to desired pressure. I've put up to three of these in my tires at different times. Once in a while, inspect te tire for intrusions that may penetrate but don't puncture. 1 tube=$3. Very cheap protection.
An advantage is that the first liner will usually stick to the inside of the tire after it's been in there awhile. Seldom do I flat, and even less do I patch.
I agree with the above comments. The spin skins are a great investment.
Just a thought.
I'll keep looking for stuff and I'll check around at our LBS to see if they can recommend anything.

I still do it. Cheapest, best way to go.
Use thick tubes.

More than one million North Carolinians are expected to travel this Thanksgiving at least 50 miles from home.
Ninety-percent of those plan to reach their destination by car. And more people on the road means more need for caution.
The Highway Patrol has begun it's "Click It Or Ticket" campaign. They'll also be looking for aggressive, distracted and impaired drivers to help keep the roads safer this holiday.
If you are planning to drive you'll find a little relief at the pump. The statewide average for a gallon of regular is down to $3.35 this week, though that's still much higher than last Thanksgiving when it was $2.80 a gallon.

That's not what my cat's do. They act so obviously guilty there's no hiding it. In fact, they'll often take off running when they hear me coming and I can tell by their behavior that they were doing something they knew they weren't supposed to be doing, even if I wasn't aware of it and did nothing to stop them. But they know they've done wrong so they tuck tail and run.

Styling Tip
Step 1: Mist damp hair with texturizing spray. Using a vent brush, blow-dry just at your scalp while lifting slightly at the root and then blow-dry your length haphazardly while shaking out your hair with your fingers.
Step 2: Once dry, sweep your texturized hair back and twist until the hair buckles upon itself to form a messy bun. Tuck the end in and pin the bun into place.
Step 3: Mist with hairspray to lock in the style.

The Theistic God is Dead--A Casualty of Terrorism
The terrorist tragedy will help us step beyond yesterday's God, beyond pious delusions
This divine life force is found again in a story in the Book of Ezekiel. The Jewish nation has been conquered, and its people have been carried off into a Babylonian exile, ending its life. Ezekiel, in a dream, sees his now-deceased nation as a valley filled with dead dry bones. The question is asked, "Will these bones ever live again?" Then, in the dream, God blows the wind over the mountain and into that valley until it touches the dry bones. At that moment, the toe bone gets connected to the foot bone, the foot bone to the ankle bone, the ankle bone to the leg bone until all those bones stand up and come to life again. The life we possess, our vitality itself, reflects the vital life of God, this narrative says. God is the source of life.
God, as wind, is seen once more in the Book of Acts where the gathered Christian community waits in the upper room. Suddenly, that room is filled with a mighty rushing wind that calls these Christians into an inclusive vision not limited by tribal identity. This new humanity cannot be bounded. The God who is the source of life, this story says, does not stop at human security barriers. That wind, rather, creates a new God image, a life force flowing through the universe, embracing Parthians, Medes, Elamites and dwellers in Mesopotamia. When human beings live fully, this God becomes visible and real.
The Epistle of John says that God is love, and whoever abides in love abides in God. Love comes to consciousness in the human experience. Love makes life possible. Love creates wholeness. When love is shared, life is enhanced, but when hatred replaces love, life is diminished. An even keener insight emerges when we reverse those biblical words. For if we can say that God is love, then surely we can say that love is God. This biblical insight proclaims that love is what God is. We thus make God visible, not by receiving an external revelation from on high, but by the human act of loving wastefully.
Once again, this minority voice is saying that God is not an external, supernatural being, ruling over human history. God is rather the power of love, which flows through each of us, calling us to life, inviting us to step beyond whatever binds our humanity, even if it is the old images of God.
In the rubble of the World Trade Center, we see the results when lives are lived in hatred--but we also see lives willing to sacrifice themselves for the sake of other people, opening to us the wonder and awe that comes when the love of God is seen in human form.
