BOULDER, Colo. (Reuters) – At least three people have died in flash flooding unleashed by torrential rain in Colorado which has forced hundreds to flee to higher ground as rising water made buildings collapse and stranded motorists in their cars, officials said on Thursday.
Heavy downpours drenched Colorado's biggest urban areas, stretching 130 miles along the eastern slopes of the Rockies from Fort Collins near the Wyoming border south through Boulder, Denver and Colorado Springs.
Among the hardest-hit areas was Boulder County, where the National Weather Service issued a flash-flood warning through 10 p.m. local time. Flood watches were also posted for several counties in central and north-central parts of Colorado.
At least 6 inches of rain has fallen on the city of Boulder and up to 8 inches were measured in the foothills west of town, said Kari Bowen, a Weather Service meteorologist in Boulder, northwest of Denver.
Boulder Creek, which runs through the heart of the city and the University of Colorado's Boulder campus, turned into a raging torrent that overran its banks and flooded adjacent parking lots and streets.
Mud and debris littered the area around the city's public library, which was closed, along with the campus and all municipal office buildings. More than 400 students were evacuated from ground-floor campus housing overnight, campus police spokesman Ryan Huff said.
Ron Cobbley, 49, a homeless man who was out camping along the Saint Vrain River west of Boulder near the town of Ward, said he decided to leave the woods and head into town after three days in the rain.
"It was raging with whitewater," he said of the river.
Steady rain began falling Monday but grew more intense late Tuesday and into Wednesday. Roads across the region were flooded out, and standing water throughout Denver snarled morning rush-hour in the state capital.
"These constant rainstorms we typically don't see (in eastern Colorado)," the Weather Service's Bowen said.
A Boulder County Office of Emergency Management spokesman said conditions were "extremely dangerous" and that up to 4 inches of additional rain was expected to fall in the area on Thursday before tapering off.
All 200 residents of Jamestown, just north of Boulder, were forced to flee overnight, while the town of Lyons, further to the north, was cut off as floodwaters washed out U.S. Route 36 linking Lyons to Boulder, county Sheriff Joe Pelle said.
He said Lyons reported that its residents had no fresh running water and that its sewer plant had been knocked out.
"We're trying desperately to get to them," Pelle said.
The Larimer County Sheriff's Office reported in a Twitter posting that a dam had burst, and that "extrication operations" were under way, but no further information was immediately available.
At least two people died in flooding in Boulder County, one whose body was found in a collapsed home by emergency crews searching door to door for victims in and around Jamestown, county officials said
The body of a third victim, a man, was found by police on flood-watch patrols in Colorado Springs, about 100 miles to the south, officials said.
Pelle said it was possible that more flood-related fatalities could emerge as emergency crews reached areas cut off by high water.
"There is water everywhere," said Andrew Barth, the emergency management spokesman in Boulder County. "We've had several structural collapses. There's mud and muck and debris everywhere. Cars are stranded all over the place."
In Broomfield, a small town just northwest of Denver, three people were rescued from an upside-down car that was swept into a washed-out culvert along a roadway with two other vehicles, the Boulder Emergency Management Office said.

Bob started releasing his Bootleg Series in 1991 and he recently announced plans to release the the next edition, The Bootleg Series, Vol. 10 - Another Self Portrait (1969-1971), on August 27th. The four disc project will feature never-before-heard material from Dylan's original acoustic sessions and outtakes from Self Portrait along with select cuts from 1968's Nashville Skyline and 1970's New Morning.
Dylan originally began recording Self Portrait in New York City in April of 1969 but then stopped recording until March 1970. The break didn't make much sense since Dylan was actually recording a lot of covers.
Al Kooper, who played organ on the project, told Rolling Stone, "It was bizarre. He wasn't writing any of the songs, which is an important part of a Bob Dylan album. He had a pile of Sing Out! magazines and he was taking the songs, as in the chords and lyrics, straight out of them. They were his main feed, then they pulled other things like 'Mr. Bojanges' and 'The Boxer.' I was like, 'Yikes!' At one point we recorded 'Come a Little Bit Closer' by Jay and the Americans. Hopefully nobody ever hears that."

GM Rear Drum to Disc Brake SwapWritten by John McGann on May 1, 2008 Stock Rear Brakes Giving You Fits? Stock rear brakes giving you fits? We show you how to get big brakes for 10- and 12- bolt axles.
Foot to the floor for 100 feet when you brake for that bus full of nuns? Upgrade when we show you that putting disc brakes on the rear of a GM car is actually very easy. Watch as we swap out the drums on our '86 Caprice and swap in a set of discs from a '94 Caprice police car. The good news is that these tricks will work for any GM C-clip-style 10- or 12-bolt axle on nearly every GM car.
Reality Check
You're probably thinking, "That was too easy," and you're right. Yes, mechanically, the job is simple. You can swap drums for discs in a couple of hours as long as you do your research ahead of time. However, a lot of things can go wrong if you don't.
The axlehousing dimensions are the same on all '77-'96 Chevrolet B-bodies (Chevrolet Caprice and impala) are nearly identical under their sheetmetal, and virtually all parts are interchangeable among those model years. We can swap the whole thing into our '86 Caprice, and in doing so, we'll be upgrading from our puny 7.5-inch 10-bolt to a much stronger 8.5- inch unit with limited slip. The rear discs are just a bonus.
Truthfully, we planned to swap axle assemblies all along. The point of the exercise at the beginning of the article was to demonstrate how quickly you could get mired down in the multitude of variables involved in a rear disc brake swap.
Have you ever wondered why there are so many aftermarket companies offering brake upgrade kits? Or why most car builders or restorers, guys who have no fear of building engines and transmissions, will run aftermarket braking systems on their cars? Well, neither did we until we started researching for this article. We quickly discovered that trying to cobble together a brake system involves a lot of trial-fitting until you get the combination right. Fine if you've got the time and funds.
Place Your Order
When swapping brakes, the after-market really does come to the rescue. The brake companies have done the legwork, and they know what parts work best with each other and what will fit your car. We talked to the guys at Baer Brakes, Stainless Steel Brake Co. (SSBC), and KORE3 to get their advice.
They were all in agreement. You can see substantial gains in braking performance when switching to a four-wheel disc system. But there are a few key things to pay attention to. First, everyone stressed how important it is to design the rear system based on what brakes are on the front wheels.
"It's got to match the front system," says Bill Cummings of SSBC. Baer's Ben O'Connor agrees, "it's better to have too small a caliper on the rear than too big. With bigger calipers, you get too much clamping force, too much pedal travel, and the system is very hard to adjust." Because braking physics shift most of the car's weight to the front wheels, the rear brakes don't need to do as much work as the front brakes do. if you have too much clamping force on the rear brakes, the rear wheels will lock and the car can easily start to rotate. in other words, the rear caliper piston(s) must be smaller than the front or you'll be doing 180s every time you touch the brake pedal.
All three companies we spoke to offer basic rear disc brake kits that work in conjunction with stock or modified front systems. O'Connor says Baer's rear kits are modestly sized so as not to overwhelm a stock front system, but they can be easily upgraded if the owner decides to go big on the front brakes. SSBC and kORe3 have similar systems, and some can fit inside your stock wheels.
The components used are a second concern. SSBC's kits utilize a caliper similar to what GM offered on the Cadillac Seville and Firebird WS6. These calipers feature an integral, mechanical parking brake mechanism. engaging the parking brake pulls a lever on the back of the caliper that pushes on the caliper piston, clamping the pads to the rotor. Baer's kit uses components similar to C4 Corvettes and '92-'97 F-cars. They consist of PBR calipers with an improved manual parking brake design that engages a pair of pins, which push in the inboard pad, clamping the rotor. kORe3's systems offer a setup using C5 and C6 Corvette PBR calipers and a drum-inhat-style parking brake. The parking brake is actually a separate drum brake inside the hub of the rotor. kORe3's Tobin knighton prefers this system, saying the drum-in-hat system is less complicated and easier to maintain. The guys at Baer and SSBC acknowledge that the mechanical caliper parking brake arrangement is more complicated, but the system is less expensive to engineer because the parts have been around since the late '70s. Originally, the factory system experienced failure due to corrosion and lack of maintenance. The calipers would come out of adjustment or seize up, rendering them ineffective. Baer and SSBC have had lots of time to work most of the bugs out of the mechanism though, and they say their caliper designs are superior to the original GM pieces. Both Baer and SSBC offer higher-end kits that come with drumin- hat-style parking brakes, too.
Which system is best for you?
Obviously that depends on your budget and driving style. We can say with confidence that they all make a good product. Below are kORe3's, Baer's, and SSBC's best-selling kits. Note that these are not their least expensive kits. Go to each company's Web site for options and specific pricing information.
Junkyard Systems
As mentioned before, enterprising sorts may wish to build a rear disc system using junkyard parts. The old way of swapping out your drums to discs was to acquire the setup on an '80-'86 Cadillac Seville, a '79-'85 Cadillac eldorado, or a '79-'81 Firebird with the WS6 handling package. These cars were equipped with 111.2-inch rear brake rotors. The Caddy used a 5x5 bolt pattern, while the Firebirds were the conventional 5x43.4. So the hot ticket was to grab the calipers and brackets off a Caddy and the rotors from a Firebird. Those parts are still available. A recent trip to a local pickyour-part turned up at least eight complete sets of Seville brakes. The WS6 rotors are much harder to find in the 'yard.
Newer cars offer better systems, and late-model F-car swaps are becoming popular, especially the brakes from lS1 cars. These systems include PBR calipers on 12-inch rotors with a drum-inhat- style parking brake. The rotors are drilled with the common 5x43.4 bolt pattern, making this a popular swap for older musclecars. Good luck finding them in the junkyards, though. The parts are too desirable, so eBay will be your best bet for finding those setups. Also, these brakes will not fit behind most 15-inch wheels, so plan on bigger wheels if you're contemplating this swap.
Surprisingly, the biggest drawback of a junkyard system is cost. Brake parts operate in a harsh, dirty environment under extreme temperature ranges. Therefore, the parts can be totally clapped out by the time you pull them from the 'yard. While we embrace the practice of hosing off junkyard parts and putting them to use, we cannot advocate cutting corners with your braking system. So by the time you've overhauled the calipers, sliders, mounting brackets, dust boots, and parking brake cables, you may well have spent as much or more than it would have cost to buy an aftermarket kit.
What's A PBR Caliper?
PBR is an Australian company specializing in automotive and light-truck braking systems. The systems utilize a floating caliper supported by a caliper bracket that bolts to the spindle or axle flange. Their simple design and adaptability to accommodate a variety of rotor diameters by using taller caliper brackets make them a popular choice for both the manufacturers and aftermarket alike. PBR brakes were standard equipment of many performance cars including the Corvette, Camaro, Firebird, and Mustang SVT Cobra. In addition to calipers, PBR manufactures rotors, parking brake assemblies, and brake lines and hoses.
Measurements You Need To Know
GM used the same mounting flange for most of its 10- and 12-bolt rear axles with C-clip axle retainers. The flange bolts form a trapezoid shape measuring 31.8 inches across the top and 25.8 inches across the bottom. There are a few variations to watch for: Some station wagons, for example, may have a bigger flange. To be safe, take a measurement of your car and the potential donor's.
In addition, be sure to measure your wheel-stud bolt pattern, the pattern of the donor rotors, and the pilot hole in the center of the rotor because some axles have a bigger pilot than others.
Finally, be aware of possible interference of components. Cars with staggered shocks may need to mount the calipers in different clocking positions to avoid contacting the shocks during suspension travel.

Pull the rear cover, drain the fluid, and remove the C-clips and axles. Unbolt the drum brake backing plates. You don't even need to remove the brake shoes and hardware. All you need to do is unbolt the hydraulic line going into the wheel cylinder....The '94 axles measure 1.30 inches and have 30 splines instead of the 27-spline 1.125-inch axles from the '86....There's no way this rotor will fit. The rotors from the '94 Caprice are drilled for a 5x5-inch bolt circle. The axles in the '86 fit GM's more common 5x4 3/4-inch bolt circle.PN 10277 is currently kORe3's best seller. it adapts Corvette C5/C6 (either 12- or 13x1.02 inch rotors) to GM 10- and 12-bolt axles. Depending on the options you choose, you can put these on your car for just a hair over $1,000. The serious guys can opt for the C6 206 kit with 13.4-inch rotors and four-piston fixed calipers.
This is Baer's best seller: the Track Rear kit. it comes with a single-piston PBR caliper on a 13-inch rotor. if you're on a really tight budget, look into Baer's iron-Sport kit. With 11.625-inch rotors, you can have four-wheel discs for less than $1,000.SSBC's best-selling kit is the Force 10 single-piston rear kit. it's a single-piston caliper and 11.25-inch rotor combination. Pricing for these kits comes in at around $900.The dust boots shielding the parking brake mechanism also disintegrate over the years, and junkyard parking brake cables are likely unusable, falling victim to corrosion or neglect. Also, they are easily damaged during removal.Most calipers used on rear disc brake systems are aluminum, but they often have steel pistons. Be sure to check for corrosion and rust that will damage the seals and cause leaks.The brackets themselves are prone to wear in this area (arrow) where the pads contact the bracket. Because the bracket holds the pads in place within the caliper, if the pad abutment area is gouged or worn out, the brackets need to be replaced. Newer designs from lS1 F-cars and Corvettes use steel shims in this area. Be sure to replace the shims when overhauling the system.The calipers are held over the rotors by the caliper bracket. it bolts to slider pins that allow it to "float" or move laterally as it clamps the rotor....

The original Yankee Stadium, known as "The House That Ruth Built," opened in 1923 and served as the Yankees' home until 2008. The new Yankee Stadium opened in 2009, and the team capped the venue's inaugural season with its 27th World Series title. This monolith, which retains some of the more beloved features from the old hallowed iteration, is a must-see for any baseball fan. Visitors can take a guided tour, which includes stops at the clubhouse/batting cage area (only during the off-season or when the team is on the road), the dugout and Monument Park, as well as the New York Yankees Museum, which offers a fascinating look at the history of the storied franchise. Of course, professional sports in New York City go much deeper than just the Yankees.

First of all, I want to say great job making a competitive Activesync client. I'm not a Zimbra server customer, so I can't speak to that, but I've been using Zimbra since the day the Fling was published and it's working great. Jury is still out for me, but it's been weeks now and I haven't gone back to Touchdown which is saying a lot. I think my long term client decision will be based on how often the Zimbra client is updated with fixes and features, to be honest. That said, here is my wishlist:
- Add ability to set email priority when sending
- Add sync schedule options, e.g. push vs poll, poll intervals
- Fix tasks - I only see tasks created on the phone, not in my Outlook account
- Add support for Notes syncing (Touchdown has this)
- Make it easier to change modes. I feel the top-left button is not very accessible
- Add default zoom level setting for those of us with poor vision!
- Fix "Loading..." message. It persists indefinitely on first run following reboot. Must kill and restart to clear.
- Add sync contacts to phone feature (Touchdown has this, works great. It doesn't actually sync to google account, but rather adds a new "contacts store" to the phone if that makes sense.
- Add email rule/filter options, e.g. "Ring loud bells when high pri email arrives"

Barnesville and Steubenville Catholic each entered last weekend with what looked like tune-up games to get ready for their matchup this Saturday night at Harding Stadium.
But a funny thing happened on the way to Oct, 6 for the Shamrocks - an unexpected and shocking loss to previously winless Caldwell.
First-year coach Matt Johnson and his team took a 4-1 record into that game, led by a point at the half and never scored again in falling 25-6 to the Redskins.
Coach Steve Daley's squad did handle their business, pounding Conotton Valley by a 54-7 count, Catholic Central's third consecutive victory.
And even though it is still only Week 7, both teams could be in a fight for their respective playoff lives sitting at 4-2. Barnesville is ninth in Division V, Region 17 after having its four-game winning streak snapped while the Crusaders are seventh in Division VI, Region 21.
"There are a lot of good teams in our region and we can't afford a lot of mistakes if we are planning on making the playoffs," Johnson said. "Last week we just didn't seem to get the same breaks or make the plays that we had been making earlier in the season.
"Caldwell really didn't do anything fancy, they just powered the ball right at us and we just didn't get to the ball carrier or tackle very well."
During its current winning stretch, Steubenville Catholic has outscored its opponents by a 131-20 margin. With its high-powered passing game clicking, the Crusaders racked up 350 total yards a week ago, but allow 330 to the Rockets. The difference was the four turnovers that the defense helped create.
"Offensively we want to take advantage of every opportunity and value each possession," Daley said. "Not only taking care of the ball and picking up yardage, but getting the ball into the end zone.
"Our theme defensively is, "every player, every play. We want to play team defense and that is something that we have been able to do well our last few games."
Junior quarterback Brenton Colabella is the triggerman and is not afraid to sling the ball around with good accuracy. He has hit on 96 of 157 throws for 1,583 yards, 20 touchdowns and just three interceptions so far.
And Colabella has a fine array of receivers to hook up with. Senior Zach Herrington is the main target with 27 grabs for 488 stripes and eight scores, but there are also Kyle Lauckert (18-366-4), Ryan Fletcher (19-299-3) and Michael Caraoellotti (15-161-3), just to name a few.
When Catholic isn't throwing the ball the like to hand it off to senior Doug Maslowski who has provided 406 yards and five touchdowns on the ground.
The Crusaders defense will be facing a Barnesville team that was limited to 155 yards of offense a week ago against Caldwell.
The defense, meanwhile, allowed 294 yards, all on the ground.
"They have some very nice skill players at quarterback and receiver and some very elusive kids," Johnson added.
"And defensively they give you a lot of different looks and get to the ball very well."
Senior Kyle Yaquinta has thrown for nearly 700 yards on the season with six touchdowns and a pick. Since being moved to running back, senior Colton Pritchard has accounted for 336 yards and four trips to the end zone.
"It is a typical Barnesville team, very strong up front and athletes that make plays," Daley said.
"You have to be focused on defense and know what is going on at all times."
Barnesville defeated Catholic Central by a 27-7 count last year, the Shamrocks final win of the season before dropping their last three.

Kyle Daniell is pretty proud of the atmosphere that surrounds Rifle Creek Golf Course. After all, that's one of the main things that helped move him into his current gig.
"People keep coming here because of the community and the kind of people we have," said the second-year pro and general manager at the golf course. "You just don't run into any of the snooty stuff here."
To be sure, there's no sense of entitlement with the club members and shareholders of the course. Unlike country club atmospheres spurred by club memberships nearing the five-figure mark, Rifle Creek charges a little as $1 per hole depending on the time of day.
That, along with a unique scenery and a back nine course that's one of the most challenging in the state, has brought in new players and helped retain others who have been playing there for decades.
"This definitely keeps my ambition to stay active," said Dwayne Scott, 89, who said he started playing the course when it first opened in the 1950s.
He's not the only one. Daniell said membership and clientele has seen a steady climb in the past year, including an 80-person contingent in junior golf and an increase in golfers who buy annual passes.
There's even a 16-person group that makes a trip from Arkansas to Rifle to play the course each year since 1980. They haven't missed a year.
"Courses like ours can and should survive," Daniell said. "We have a great membership that has built into a great community. With the big country clubs and those high prices, they have certain expectations on how they want to be treated. But everyone here still feels appreciated."
The overall survival of the course seemed to be a primary focus for Daniell when, as a new college graduate out of Boise State, he spent time in the summers at Rifle Creek when he wasn't playing professionally. He jumped at the opportunity to take over as the course's golf pro when it became available, knowing it was a more steady job as opposed to playing tournaments professionally.
But with signs of the recession still hitting Rifle Creek's bottom line hard, Daniell became creative. The course introduced "Dollar Days," where, on Mondays and Wednesdays after 3 p.m., golfers can play any available hole for $1.
It introduced more golfers to the course and, Daniell said, even resulted in some of the new golfers purchasing annual passes.
"This place caters to the average golfer, the weekend warrior," Daniell said.
It also caters to young golfers, who come to the course in bunches.
"I've learned a lot," said 14-year-old Wyatt Carter, who said he's been a part of the junior golf program at Rifle Creek for at least four years. "I've learned a lot about my stance and my grip, but I've also learned to never let myself get down or I won't play as good."
Also playing on a regular basis is 60-year-old Kirk Beattie, a retired wildlife management professor at the University of Wisconsin, who plays as many as 45 holes a day. He calls his vice for golf a "bad disease," but cherishes the relationships he's built with the other regulars at Rifle Creek.
"You get to learn from all of the other golfers out here," Beattie said. "This is my home course."

The sentence for 21-year-old Thomas Rausch Junior was handed down Friday in Woodbury County District Court. He was convicted in March of attempted murder and willful injury in a January 2011
attack on Kasandra Smith, now 22.
Authorities have said Rausch walked up behind Smith at the home they had shared in Sioux City and cut her throat, then stabbed her six times. Smith was pregnant at the time. Her unborn baby was not harmed.
Rausch is seeking a new trial.

Legislators Still At Stalemate
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - As they return to the Statehouse for an overtime legislative session, Iowa lawmakers find they're facing many of the same issues that confronted them when they convened
nearly four months ago.
And faced with disagreements over education reform, property taxes and how to boost the state's economy, legislative leaders maintain they're not in a rush to reach a compromise that might
violate their beliefs.
Republican House Speaker Kraig Paulsen and Democratic Senate Majority Leader Mike Gronstal say negotiators are narrowing their differences, but it's a slow process and neither would predict when
lawmakers will adjourn.
The session was scheduled to end nearly two weeks ago.

It was in post war Britain that the Raleigh Sports really came of age as it was a lighter and "sportier" alternative to the heavier English roadsters and remained in production well into the 1980's.
It was the "All Steel bicycle" and for most of it's production life was fitted with a Sturmey Archer AW hub although through 1957 and 1958 it was fitted with the poorly designed and ill fated SW hub.
The 1950's were the peak of Raleigh production and quality and they were a household name in most of the English speaking world and on this side of the pond they were referred to as English racers.
But they were never racing bikes.
This was a well made and sturdy utility bicycle that was designed to last 100 years and they did not see many changes during their production life... latter models have alloy stems and brakes and the Superbe was always completely fitted out with generator lights and a locking fork which brought it's weight up to 42 pounds without a full chain case.
I know this because I owned a 1978 model and only sold that when I could no longer ride in an upright position due to a back injury.
My Superbe roadster... my friend now enjoys this bicycle and it has been his daily driver for several years and still looks even better than it did when he received it as it now sports a new honey brown B66 saddle and matching Brooks saddle bags.
I also owned a beautiful 1948 Rudge roadster which was Raleigh made but because of my back issues decided to sell it to a young lady who is longer of leg than I and enjoys this bike immensely.
So for the first time in many years I found myself without an English 3 speed and that could never do as my daughters and I love riding our English three speeds together.
I have a beautiful 1955 Raleigh Lenton fixed gear road bike, but it is not a 3 speed...
So I set about building up an English 3 speed that I could ride...

Escaped Inmate Captured
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) - A 22-year-old inmate who escaped from a Sioux City work release facility has been arrested.
The Sioux City Journal reports that U.S. marshals arrested Nikolas Saul on Friday night and has since been taken to the Woodbury County Jail.
The Iowa Corrections Department says Saul, of Sioux City, escaped from the facility on Oct. 6. He'd been transferred there on Sept. 18.

Iowa Veterans Home Fined, Again
MARSHALLTOWN, Iowa (AP) - The state-run Iowa Veterans Home in Marshalltown has been fined again for not meeting care standards.
The Des Moines Register reports that a fine of $250 a day stems from the death of a resident last month and was the third time in four months that the home had been fined.
Federal officials also extended restrictions on new admissions until the home demonstrates that problems have been corrected.
The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals says workers at the home didn't set an alarm that would have alerted them that a frail, 91-year-old woman was trying to get out of bed. She fell and suffered leg fractures that were blamed for her death.
The home's top administrator, David Worley, says the home is working to improve resident care.
Missing Teenage Girls And Teen Boys May Be Headed To Florida
SHELLSBURG, Iowa (AP) - Eastern Iowa authorities say two missing 15-year-old girls apparently have gone on a planned trip with two boys from the western Iowa town of Atlantic.
Benton County Sheriff Randy Forsyth says the teenagers aren't believed to be in any danger.
Forsyth says a call from one boy's cellphone went to a Pennsylvania number, but investigators aren't sure whether that's the teens' destination.
Missing are 16-year-old Corey Sunderman, 13-year-old Austin Boggs, both of Atlantic, and 15-year-old Skie Floyd and Jazlyn Visek, from the Shellsburg area.
Crystal Sunderman, the mother of Corey Sunderman, says Skie Floyd and her son had been dating and that the trip was planned.
She told Atlantic radio station KJAN that the four may be on their way to Florida for a skateboarding event.

- Additional Document:
General Contenta) What are the expectations for the outcome of Rio+20, and what are the concrete proposals in this regard, including views on a possible structure of the Outcome document? The expectations are that, in contrast to the original Rio declaration, water should actually appear in any outcomes of Rio+20, and instead of sporadically referring to major water-related problems, Rio+20 and future declarations could more deliberately focus on what progress has (or has not) been made on water related issues vis a vis previous declarations.
Our contribution is an examination of how issues are framed in UN resolutions and we offer suggestions drawn from our analysis of some of the most effective strategies for highlighting and strengthening key concepts. These strategies go well beyond the water domain and are broadly applicable to other issues.
Our proposals - relating to both key terms and to the written language - could be useful in helping delineate terms such as "the green economy" which have enormous potential but need definition and clarity.
The study will facilitate the efforts of Ministers and Policy Makers to both build on and avoid unnecessary overlap with work done at previous meetings. The findings of the report should assist drafters of future UN Declarations to ensure their outputs are effective, robust and reflect mindful and cumulative deepening of work undertaken at previous high-level meetings.
For more on the study see: http://www.inweh.unu.edu/River/DeepWords.htm
b) What are the comments, if any, on existing proposals: e.g., a green economy roadmap, framework for action, sustainable development goals, a revitalized global partnership for sustainable development, or others? N/A
c) What are the views on implementation and on how to close the implementation gap, which relevant actors are envisaged as being involved (Governments, specific Major Groups, UN system, IFIs, etc.); N/A

Specific Elementsa) Objective of the Conference: To secure renewed political commitment for sustainable development, assessing the progress to date and remaining gaps in the implementation of the outcomes of the major summits on sustainable development and addressing new and emerging challenges. Contributions could include possible sectoral priorities (e.g., (e.g., energy, food security and sustainable agriculture, technology transfer, water, oceans, sustainable urbanization, sustainable consumption and production, natural disaster preparedness and climate change adaptation, biodiversity, etc.) and sectoral initiatives that contribute to integrate the three pillars of sustainable development could be launched and endorsed at Rio+20. N/A
b) Green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication: views regarding how green economy can be a means to achieve sustainable development in its three dimensions, and poverty eradication; what is its potential added value; experience to date, including what has worked and how to build upon success, what are the challenges and opportunities and how to address the challenges and seize opportunities, and possible elements of an agreement in outcome document on a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication N/A
c) Institutional framework for sustainable development: Priorities and proposals for strengthening individual pillars of sustainable development, as well as those for strengthening integration of the three pillars, at multiple levels; local, national, regional and international. N/A
d) Any proposals for refinement of the two themes. Recall that Resolution 64/236 describes the focus of the Conference: "The focus of the Conference will include the following themes to be discussed and refined during the preparatory process: a green economy in the context of sustainable development and poverty eradication and the institutional framework for sustainable development".

(MILITARY TIMES) -- The first woman to command the Marine Corps' legendary recruit training facility in Parris Island, S.C., will be honored next week in Washington, D.C., alongside the likes of Tina Fey, Queen Latifah and Ellen DeGeneres as one of 40 influential women who participated in high school or college athletics.
Brig. Gen. Lori Reynolds, who played basketball at the U.S. Naval Academy during the early 1980s, took command of the Corps' East Coast recruit depot in June 2011. Her military career includes stints as commander of 9th Communication Battalion and later as commander of the I Marine Expeditionary Force Headquarters Group at Camp Pendleton, Calif.
The event, to be held June 21 at the JW Marriott hotel in Washington, marks 40 years since Congress enacted Title IX of the Educational Amendments of 1972. The law requires institutions receiving federal funding to provide equal opportunity to women and men. That includes access to academic and extracurricular activities.
Reynolds and the other honorees are great role models for young girls, said Maria Brennan, president and chief executive officer of Women in Cable Telecommunications, one of three organizers for the event.
"We wanted leaders, ground-breakers, and innovators," Brennan said. "Brig. Gen. Reynolds personifies all of these attributes, and she serves as a trail blazer for today's young women. ... She is creating a path for others to follow."
Reynolds, who graduated from the academy in 1986, was not immediately available for comment, but Brennan said she's certain the Marine Corps institution is proud of the general. She called Reynolds a model for the type of candidate they envisioned when they conceived the event.
The other service member to be honored is Coast Guard Rear Adm. Sandra Stosz, the first female superintendent of a U.S. service academy. She served as co-captain of her high school track team and as a member of the school's sailing team.
Women in Cable Telecommunications partnered on the event with the Women's Sports Foundation and espnW.
Other honorees include journalists, doctors and government employees.
"They are women who were involved in athletics early in their lives and have gone on to make a significant impact on society," Brennan said.

Anyone else spending an unhealthy amount of time staring longingly at your hunt area on Google Earth? I'm pretty sure my area is burned into my retinas.... And my computer monitor.

Nope. I know exactly where I will be come daylight on opening morning. Been hunting the same wilderness area since 1960 and I know where the bucks will be. If I were going to a new area, I'd be doing exactly the same thing you are doing.

I hunt because......
I dont for the area I normally hunt but like to look at new areas on the GSI sites. You can zoom in closer on the state GSI sites. Give them a try.
I have just recently started using google earth and yes it is amazing, it did make me mad how ever I found out there is a 2 track road under a mile on the opposite side of the area I last elk hunted I came in the hard way over two miles in a lot steeper terrain!!!
I need to get the "mountain north" card for my garmin. I don't see enough value in getting just the state cards. I hope i don't regret that choice.
I also can print in 11x17 color at my office to get some supersize of some strategic areas.
I am currently busting my ass to get the siding on my house. Then i can sit in front of the laptop every night and study.
Been using Google Earth for a long time and am still amazed by how much you can learn.
It's my escape for when my wife is watching girly shows on TV.

Note: Head coach Brandon Miller requested and was granted a medical leave of absence on Oct. 2, 2014.
Brandon Miller was named Butler's 22nd men's basketball coach on July 6, 2013, just three days after former head coach Brad Stevens departed to become head coach of the Boston Celtics. The announcement of his appointment completed Miller's decade-long coaching journey that had stops at Xavier, Ohio State, Butler, Illinois and Butler again. He became the fourth consecutive former Butler assistant coach to be promoted to head coach of the Bulldogs.
Miller was thrust into the biggest change in Butler basketball history - the Bulldogs' move to the BIG EAST Conference. He took on that challenge with a young squad that was missing its top three scorers from the previous season and guided the Bulldogs to a 14-17 campaign. The Bulldogs opened the season with a five-game winning streak and then compiled another five-game winning streak just prior to conference play. Butler finished with an unbeaten record (6-0) at home in non-conference play.
A former standout player for the Bulldogs, Miller joined Stevens' staff as an assistant coach for the second time in April of 2013, after five years away from his alma mater. He previously served as an assistant coach at Butler during the 2007-08 season, helping the Bulldogs to a 30-4 record, conference regular season and tournament championships and a berth in the second round of the NCAA Tournament. Butler was ranked in the national top 25 for 20 weeks, reaching as high as No. 8, during that season.
Miller spent the 2012-13 season as a special assistant for
University of Illinois' head coach John Groce, a former Butler
assistant coach. With Miller on staff, the Fighting Illini
recorded a 23-13 record and captured a spot in the NCAA Tournament
Third Round. Included in the successful campaign was a victory over
Butler in the championship game of the 2012 EA Sports Maui
Prior to his single season at Illinois, Miller spent one year in private business and six years on the staff of head coach Thad Matta, a 1990 Butler graduate, at Ohio State. He served three years as an assistant coach, two seasons as director of basketball operations and one year as video coordinator. During his tenure at Ohio State, the Buckeyes won four Big Ten titles, made three NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 appearances and advanced to the 2007 NCAA championship game. He began his career as a video intern on Matta's staff at Xavier in 2003-04.
A native of New Castle, Ind., Miller was a top performer on Butler teams that compiled a three-year 77-20 record, three conference championships and three trips to postseason tournament play. He arrived at Butler in 1999, transferring from Southwest Missouri State where he played under head coach Steve Alford. After sitting out one season, he started 97 straight games and was just one of eight Butler players to record more than 1,000 points in just three seasons. He was the leading scorer on Butler's 2002-03 squad, helping the Bulldogs to a 27-6 record, a league championship and a berth in the NCAA Sweet 16.
Miller finished his career ranked among Butler's all-time leaders in points (1,121), three-point field goals (189) and assists (305). He earned All-Horizon League, Horizon League All-Defensive and Academic All-League recognition, and he was named Butler's Co-Team MVP in 2003. As a senior, Miller was chosen as Butler's Co-Most Outstanding Male Athlete, and he received the Horizon League's Cecil M. Coleman Medal of Honor, the league's highest individual award. He also was named recipient of the 2003 Chip Hilton Award, presented annually to a NCAA Division I senior who demonstrates outstanding leadership, character, integrity, sportsmanship and talent.

I'm writing to offer a perspective on the value of Eagle Springs Organic farm as they face another threat from asphalt contamination due to Bedrock Asphalt's second proposed operation. As an advisory circle member of the Roaring Fork Food Policy Council, and as a farmer in Silt for several decades, I speak to the increasing necessity of local farmers to collaborate in order to keep our businesses viable.
We work with ESO on organic grain crops for our laying flocks, among other things. As I write this, our apprentice, David, is heading there now for another bimonthly pickup. We appreciate having an organic farm, large enough to grow and store grains, close by and willing to work with us. With 150 birds, we go through a lot of feed, and this collaboration has been great for us over the past several years.
Farmers of any size do best when not faced with additional issues (air, water quality) from industrial outside sources that are detrimental to their operations. We here at Peach Valley CSA feel strongly that any industrial operation that adds to these environmental concerns or reduces crop quality and viability should not be allowed. For Eagle Springs, as an organic grower, soil contamination would shut them down.
Please make our local farming industry a priority and join us in voicing this concern to the Garfield County commissioners as they weigh this upcoming decision to allow asphalt crushing adjacent to Eagle Springs.

A Fundamental Change in the Economics of IT – Innovation, Agility, Flexibility Massive Scalability through IBM's New Expert Integrated PureSystems
The introduction by IBM of a new category of expert integrated systems sets the stage for a new, simpler era of computing and a fundamental change in the economics of IT. As 10,000 online viewers heard key IBM executives extol our vision of expert integrated systems and announce the introduction of the new PureSystems family – it is indeed a watershed day for IBM and our customers, as well as our Systems and Technology Group – and, for IBM System Networking.
We are delighted that IBM's new PureSystems family, which results from $2 billion in R&D and acquisitions over the past four years, including IBM's acquisition of BLADE Network Technologies and our talented team of BLADErs in October 2010, integrates networking components from IBM System Networking. Without these investments, the integration of IBM systems using IBM "house brand" networking components would simply not have been possible less than just two years ago!
IBM's new PureSystems are factory-built, tuned-to-the task, workload-optimized solutions that integrate server, storage and networking. IBM's watershed approach to expert integrated systems took four years to define, develop and deliver, resulting in a single integrated, purpose-built system that doubles the computing power previously achievable per square foot of data space.
As organizations worldwide are challenged to deliver and harness innovation and business agility, and achieve massive scalability through integration, interoperability and standardization, IBM's vision of expert integrated systems, and our new PureSystems family reflect this new economic reality. For example, by cutting months from costly deployments and time-consuming and manually intensive provisioning practices– new compute, storage and network capacity can be deployed up to 30 to 40 times faster.
Integrated systems require less manual intervention, consume much less precious space and power, and operate and scale far more efficiently. The results are ready-to-go systems that enable IT organizations to focus on, achieve and accelerate the innovation that their businesses and end users are looking for them to deliver.
This dense packing of compute power in PureSystems is exactly why the network will be so important to the future of this system. Before this, large amounts of servers and storage would have to be spread out across the data center; network latency and physical distance would ultimately limit performance. Now that multi-core processors, advanced storage technology, and other features have made it possible to fit this much processing power into a few racks, we can take full advantage of Ethernet running up to 40 Gigabit and Fibre Channel running up to 16 Gigabits per second to realize very high bandwidth and low latency over short distances.
I am particularly pleased that IBM's vision of expert integrated systems is aimed at realizing a fundamental change in the economics of IT. This vision of integration, scalability and standardization at the rack, row, data center and beyond echoes and reinforces customers' needs for open, integrated systems that improve business efficiency, innovation and competitiveness I am truly excited as we set the stage for a new category of expert integrated systems and introduce a new era of value in the economics of IT.

Do you think that expert integrated systems can meet your organization's requirements for innovation, flexibility, agility, and scale? How would viewing all of IT through a single pane of glass enhance IT ability to realize business goals?

Hundreds of telemarketing scams take place every day, that's according to the Better Business Bureau. A local Rockford man fell victim to one of them.
Ironically, 90-year-old Leroy bishop thought part of what he was purchasing was a theft prevention guide. But for several hundred dollars his son says he received basically nothing. The better business bureau says scams like these are not uncommon.
By the time Leroy Bishop's son, Barry, picked up on what happened, it was too late.
From vacation packages to work at home gimmicks, Dennis Horton of the Better Business Bureau says anyone can fall victim to scams.
Horton says the main target of these telemarketers is usually the elderly. But he offers some practical advice for everyone to follow.
Horton says never give your financial history over the phone - that includes checking or savings account numbers. He says chances are if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

Stuttgart, Germany (Sports Network) - Defending champion Maria Sharapova
grinded out a 6-3, 2-6, 7-5 win over third-seeded German Angelique Kerber in
Saturday's semifinals at the $795,000 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix.
The top-seeded Sharapova struggled with her serve at times, committing six
double faults during the two-hour, seven-minute match. However, she was able
to run her winning streak on clay to 15 straight.
Sharapova is looking to become the first player since Lindsay Davenport
(2004-05) to win back-to-back Stuttgart titles.
The 26-year-old Russian will be appearing in her third final this year after
reaching the championship match at both Indian Wells and Miami in March. She
captured her 28th career title at Indian Wells, but fell to 0-5 in Miami
finals with a three-set loss to Serena Williams.
Saturday's other semifinal pits China's Li Na against American qualifier
Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
The 2013 Stuttgart champ will collect $130,000 and a new Porsche 911 Carrera.

Scientific applications have diverse data and computation needs that scale from desktop to supercomputers. Besides the nature of the application and the domain, the resource needs for the applications also vary over time—as the collaboration and the data collections expand, or when seasonal campaigns are undertaken. Cloud computing offers a scalable, economic, on-demand model well-matched to evolving eScience needs.
Azure Ocean — A Sea of Data in the Cloud
The Ocean Observatories Initiative (OOI) is an NSF funded program to establish the ocean observing infrastructure of the 21st century benefiting research and education. The OOI program promises to deliver a cabled observatory to study environmental processes of the ocean at various scales, from coastal shelf-slope exchange processes to the deep ocean. The OOI's data distribution network lies at the heart of its architecture and will enable a multitude of science and education applications, ranging from data analysis, to processing, and visualization. The magnitude of the data from the cabled observatory, along with the complexity of scientific analysis and diverse user base, demands a cloud computing platform. We illustrate Windows Azure for storage of OOI data collections and generation of data visualizations on demand, which are delivered to a rich client that is running the COVE ocean visualization toolkit. The result is that an ocean science researcher anywhere in the world can access a sea of ocean data on Azure to carry out their research from their local client machine. This project is a collaborative effort between the Cloud Computing Futures group of XCG (Microsoft Research) and the eScience Institute of the University of Washington.

Bioinformatics Computation in the Cloud
(Click to view a larger image)The field of Bioinformatics has experienced a deluge of vast amounts of Genomics data in recent years, necessitating the use of massive computation and data repository resources in order to make use of those data. By combining the power of rich client applications with that of the scalability and flexibility of the cloud, the proliferation of research in this area is better enabled. We have shown that, when combining the Excel 2010, an extremely rich experience is enabled on a desktop or even laptop environment. By then combining this client experience with a seamless connection to deep genomic database search capabilities provided on Azure via the AzureBlast service, the researcher is able to discover new insights and explore areas not otherwise possible when using these technologies in isolation. This project is a collaborative effort among multiple organizations at Microsoft, including major portions of which are available as open source.

ModisAzure — Azure Service for Remote Sensing Geoscience
ModisAzure is a science pipeline for download, initial processing, and reduction of satellite imagery. It is developed by Microsoft Research, UVa, UCB. The service dramatically lowers resource and complexity barriers to use satellite imagery for terrestrial hydrology and geoscience. Common imagery location is determined and uploaded from diverse sources into Azure blob store. Common reprojection and harmonization is performed at scale in Azure to produce science-ready imagery with the same length, time and quality attributes. Optional scientist-provided reduction algorithm (.NET, Java, or MatLab) can also be run in the Cloud. This provides on-demand scalability beyond the local desktop or cluster.
The ModisAzure service is in use now to compute 10 year continental scale water balance for North America. Per year:
- 500 GB (~60K files) upload of 9 different source imagery products from 15 different locations
- 400 GB reprojected harmonized imagery consuming ~3500 cpu hours
- 5 GB reduced science result leveraging reported field data aggregates consuming ~3600 cpu hour
Additional science requests to expand the service to cover Europe and to include additional source imagery products and formats is pending.

Tools to Transform the Potential of Cloud to Reality for Research
Cloud holds promise for science users across the computing spectrum, from desktop users who need on-demand compute power to HPC cluster users who wish to scale out further. The potential for effective research in the Azure Cloud will come to fruition only when there is a better understanding of its capabilities (and limitations) and tools are available to make it accessible to scientists. We present work that addresses these two issues to enable research across desktop client and the Cloud.
AzureScope is an online resource for practitioners and architects to understand the performance characteristics of Azure. This helps them select applications that are best suited to leverage the Azure platform. Besides repeatable micro-benchmarks that measure the performance characteristics of storage services like Blobs, Tables, Queue, XDrive and SQL Azure, it also monitors the healthy status of Azure fabric services. At a higher level, we report benchmarks of common distributed algorithms like Matrix Multiplication, Gigasort and Bio-Sequence Comparison, and identify best practices for running applications on Azure.
The Generic Worker framework makes the Azure platform more accessible to desktop clients. Instead of requiring science users to write code to deploy their existing desktop applications to Azure, we provide simple tools that register .NET, Java, MatLab and commandline applications to "Generic" workers in Azure. Usually, activating the remote cloud applications from desktop clients like workflows requires additional code for parameter passing through queues and file transfer between desktop and cloud storage. Our framework provides tools for transparent, on-demand invocation of registered cloud applications without writing code from commandline, workflows or APIs to bridge the gap between client and the cloud.

methenamine mandelate/sodium acid phosphate - oral, Uroqid-Acid No.2
GENERIC NAME: METHENAMINE MANDELATE/SODIUM ACID PHOSPHATE - ORAL (meth-EN-uh-meen MAN-duh-late/SO-dee-um FOSS-fate)
BRAND NAME(S): Uroqid-Acid No.2
Medication Uses | How To Use | Side Effects | Precautions | Drug Interactions | Overdose | Notes | Missed Dose | Storage
USES: This medication is used to prevent or control returning urinary tract infections caused by certain bacteria. It is not used to treat an active infection. Other antibiotics must be used first to treat and cure the infection. Methenamine is an antibiotic that stops the growth of bacteria in urine. Sodium acid phosphate helps to make the urine acidic. When the urine is acidic, methenamine turns into formaldehyde to kill the bacteria.This antibiotic is effective only against bacterial infections in the urinary tract. It will not work for other types of bacterial infections (such as in the blood) or for viral infections (such as the common cold or flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.

As we enter 2013…there is no neutrality with this King!
Pastor Russ Gaar
There are many fascinating parts to the Christmas story, but one of the most compelling phrases in the story is found in Luke's account. A man named Simeon is a minor character in the Christmas story, but Luke includes him and his words of prophecy concerning the baby Jesus.
