Alex Megos Establishes Australia's First 5.14d
The 20-year-old German crusher Alex Megos has established Australia's first 5.14d sport climb by sending Retired Extremely Dangerous in the Blue Mountains. The route--which was bolted in 1999 by the Australian onsight specialist Garth Miller--is a technical swath of sandstone at Diamond Falls and had been dubbed The Red Project. Nick Fletcher reports on his website that the route was an open project, but the local climber Lee Cossey had been making an attempt to climb the line recently. However, Cossey apparently encouraged Megos to try the route and even offered him beta, according to another report by Australian photographer Simon Carter. Megos needed roughly 20 attempts to send the line according to Carter, who was documenting the effort.
"On his first day of attempts Alex worked out all the moves and had several redpoint attempts," writes Carter on his website. "The next day he had about eight redpoint attempts and it looked as though he would do it easily — but the route has a definite crux about 3/4′s of the way up, and although Alex could do the moves easily on the dog they required a degree of precision that proved hard to link from the ground."
On his third day of attempts, Megos continued to fall, taking a fairly large whipper from the route's thin crux. Frustrated after his sixth big fall, Megos lowered to the ground and immediately tied back in and started climbing, Carter reports. "Somehow this tactic worked because this time he got through the crux — and it was a mighty fight to the end!" writes Carter.
Megos tentatively graded the route 9a/35 (5.14d). Considering the numerous attempts he needed to send the line (Megos became the first climber in the world to onsight the 5.14d grade in March of this year--click here for story), it seems likely that Retired Extremely Dangerous is now Australia's hardest sport climb.

Last Sunday I attended Henry's annual (6th) "Bike, Beer & BBQ Party" and naturally all who attended arrived by bike. Contrary to international perceptions these bikes don't all look the same. Hardly, far from it.
The bicycle parking in front of the Workcycles shop on Lijnbaansgracht showed a nice cross-section of Amsterdam's individuality on two (or more) wheels, ranging from aging, often beat up but relentless classics, spray painted/decorated Oma's, to home-made bakfietsen with internal sound systems. You could name it, or just make it up, it was there. Lovely to watch and appreciate as decor/backdrop for a splendid get-together of customers, friends, friends of friends and family.
I had just finished my first beer of the day when I was directed outside and asked to get on a bike. Sure, but what could be so special? I quickly found out.
Soon more bike party related information…

|Become educated about drug addiction
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Every minute of every day, around the clock, five people try an illicit drug for the first time. That adds up to nearly three million people per year. Tragically, more than half of these initiates are under 18.
People using drugs go through several stages on their way to full-blown addiction:
Stage 1: They're curious about drug use; they may ask questions or ask to join those using drugs. They willingly listen to stories about the effects of drugs. They watch others obtaining drugs or using them.
Stage 2: They experiment with drugs and discover the effects. This is usually social, recreational use carried out as part of a group, usually on weekends. The peer pressure of the group use is enough reason for many people to continue to use drugs.
Stage 3: Now the drug user has discovered the "benefits" of using drugs. Perhaps they alleviate boredom or anxiety. Problems and stresses may seem to disappear. Girls or women may use stimulants for weight loss and males may use steroids for appearance enhancement. When the positive effects outweigh the risks or any negative effects, these individuals may become regular users. They acquire a supply of drugs and drug paraphernalia. They have regular contacts they can rely on for more supplies.
They may use drugs more frequently, no longer restricting their use to weekends. Their behavior and activities begin to change. School, work or family affairs may seem less important. They may change their friends to associate with others who use drugs. Legal complications may appear.
Stage 4: They now become preoccupied with drug use. Behavior changes become more pronounced and obvious. The user may be found to lie frequently and may begin stealing or dealing drugs to support drug use. As drug tolerance increases, the user may start using stronger drugs to get the same effect. More neglect of school, work or family affairs will show up. The user will become secretive, hard to reach and is likely to neglect former interests completely. Legal and financial complications often worsen.
Stage 5: At this point, the user is dependent on their drug of choice. He or she can't face daily life without drugs and uses them just to function or feel "normal." They deny the problem and present a completely false face to their family and environment.
Physical problems worsen. Financial and legal complications are often severe. They may sever ties with family and former friends. They are now addicted.
There are only three possible outcomes to addiction: early death, prison or sobriety.
Being an educated parent or family member is one of the best things one can do to prevent this progression toward addiction. When one suspects a family member is abusing drugs or alcohol, the right thing to do is to look for yourself, rather than believe everything you are told. The wrong thing to do is to hope that it's not that bad and will all go away on its own.
And when drug use has marched forward into addiction, what is needed is a drug rehabilitation program that addresses and eliminates the true causes of addiction.

Sixty eight percent of respondents to the Schroders survey, released in May, said they were investing more into equities this year. Despite slower growth, and countries like Brazil seeing their GDP forecasts revised downward from 3.5% to just 2.5% recently, investors are more bullish this year than last. Here are the assets that active investors, those with at least $10,000 to invest over a 12 month period, believe will post the greatest gains in 2013.

Dirk Pitt returns, in the extraordinary new novel from the number-one New York Times-best-selling author.
In A.D. 327, a Roman galley barely escapes a pirate attack with its extraordinary cargo. In 1916, a British warship mysteriously explodes in the middle of the North Sea. In the present day, a cluster of important mosques in Turkey and Egypt are wracked by explosions. Does anything tie them together? NUMA director Dirk Pitt is about to find out, as Roman artifacts discovered in Turkey and Israel unnervingly connect to the rise of a fundamentalist movement determined to restore the glory of the Ottoman Empire, and to the existence of a mysterious "manifest", lost long ago, which if discovered again...just may change the history of the world as we know it.
Take another thrill ride with Dirk Pitt.
©2010 Clive Cussler (P)2010 Penguin
"Great Story"
This was a good story with excitement, just enough romance and colorful characters and settings. As a bonus, I learned some history while being entertained. As always, Scott Brick does a wonderful narration.
Tell us about yourself! I am a retired senior who enjoys reading, literally and audibly. I play games on the computer (BFG) and Playstation
"I've read Clive Cussler for quite a few years"
and have always enjoyed his Dirk Pitt novels. He puts so much information about historical happenings, people, events, global and ocean knowledge. He is the James Bond of the ocean. Great characters, bigger than life, but you got to love them. Never get tired of his stories. Scott Brick completes the picture.
"A Classic Dirk Pitt Novel"
Story line was a bit more complex than usual, but a great read. The "Senior" Dirk Pitt is back as the lead character with his kids (Summer & Dirk Jr.) woven in nicely.
"Something new from Cussler"
I have been reading Clive Cussler novels for 30 years, and all of them have some unique charm. That being said, many started to sound a lot a like. Fans of Dirk Pitt will love Crescent Dawn. It shows Pitt a few new insights into Dirk and Al.
I was very pleasantly surprised by this novel. I will always read Cussler novels, and some are better than others, but this one has a special place near the top of the list for me.
"Crescent Dawn is great!"
Loved this book, one of my favorite Dirk Pitt adventures! I have read them all.
Travel is essential, snowboarding a need. I love speed: cars, motorcycles, boards. Food is more than a requirement; on the best days it's a supreme indulgence.
"Typical Dirk Pitt novel"
By the wrap up, yes. It took me a little while to get through it, though. While it was ultimately fun, it was as formulaic as most of the others. However, there were three story lines/characters, something different this time.
sports announcer, cyclist, enjoys to travel and the outdoors.
"Another winner by Cussler"
A good book that seemed to have 3 seperate stories going until the end when Cussler meshes them all together. A wonderful book and well worth the listen
"Standard Cussler"
Years ago I was a devoted reader of the Cussler Dirk Pitt books and that continued until I read Sahara in which our hero, Dirk, walked through the Sahara desert for (as I remember) 5 days with one canteen of water until he found help. I understand that, when I read a book like that, I need to suspend belief in a normal world, but 5 days through the Sahara with almost no water was too much for me and I stopped reading any more Cussler books. That is, until the Audible $4.95 sale. Given that I cannot resist such a sale, I again tried this Cussler book.
My first comment is that the book seemed considerably better than the earlier books. The plot was more nuanced, the characters more real and the story more involved. There were multiple subplots and everything tied together at the end. The introduction of Dirk's son and daughter helped both give the story more depth and provide for a more believable series of events.
The plot in this book revolves around the search for some important archeological artifacts with the different factions each trying to get their hands on first the describing documents and then the actual artificats themselves. As with most books of this type some events stretch credulity to (and beyond) reasonable limits, but it all ties together well in the end. One could wish that real world events turned out as reasonably as they do in this book.
In the end it is harmless enough and there are enough actual surprises to make this book a decent read. It is nothing spectacular as a thriller, but it is better than many. My main complaint, as before, is that Dirk is just too good and just too lucky to be believable. If I had been able to I would have given this book 3.5 stars but, since I can't and since 3 seems a little too low, I have given it 4 starts. Scott Brick, as usual, does a commendable job although I, for one, wish he had better material.
I am an avid eclectic reader.
"Crescent Dawn"
Scott Brick is perfect as narrator of the Cussler books. This one had three stories going but connected them together with great ease. Enjoyed the history and local color of the middle east. When reading a Cussler book I always keep an ear open of the appearance of Clive Cussler in the book and it this story he did show up. Sort of like watching the Alfred Hitchcock movies looking for a glimpse of Hitchcock in the crowd. The is a fast pace story with lots of action as one expects from a Cussler book.
"Thanks Mr. Cussler"
Been a fan of Dirk for a while, this one may not be the best but worth a credit. Thanks for getting an unabridged Cussler book.

If a fighter's eyes are open after he suffers a knockout, is that a bad sign? Is it the femoral artery that makes leg/thigh kicks so debilitating? Was an open-mouth Shane Carwin more susceptible to a knockout? And why in the hell couldn't Carwin blow his nose between rounds?
From a medical perspective, this past weekend's UFC 131 event offered a little bit of everything.
So in our latest installment of "Ask the Fight Doc," MMAjunkie.com medical columnist Dr. Johnny Benjamin clears up some of the misconceptions.
Joe Rogan makes a lot of medical statements during a UFC broadcast. Does he know what he's talking about? – Anonymous
I thought that I may have been the only one that noticed. Clearly, I am not.
Rogan will go into the UFC Hall of Fame for his masterful fight commentary. His knowledge of technique, fighters' tendencies and MMA history is nothing short of brilliant.
In my opinion, he and Mauro Ranallo (I don't care what the haters say; I appreciate intelligence and eloquence in all forms – and especially when applied to MMA) are among the very best TV commentators in MMA.
Rogan's commentary regarding medical – and, some would say, more than an occasional social issue – may leave a bit to be desired.
Therefore, let us do a little medical fact checking, shall we?
Dr. Rogan stated after the highlight-reel knockout of Yves Edwards at the formidable hands of Sam Stout that keeping one's eyes open while "asleep" after a KO was a bad sign. Incorrect.
A "bad sign" was when Edwards' body became rigid/stiff and his legs began to shake uncontrollably (convulse). The observation of his eyes being open is visually compelling for the television audience, though it's immaterial from a medical viewpoint. An athlete experiencing a seizure after suffering a concussion is a medical matter that requires prompt and proper attention and appropriate follow-up.
Is there anyone out there who still believes that concussions are not a big deal in sports?
Thankfully, as UFC president Dana White mentioned in a recent interview, MMA regulatory organizations (athletic commissions) routinely mandate at least a six-month suspension and proper neurological evaluation before contact will be permitted after a fighter suffers a knockout.
(Hello? Is anyone listening in the NFL or NHL?)
Let us continue.
The comment was made that repeated inside-leg/thigh kicks (Donald Cerrone's leg/thigh attack of Vagner Rocha serves as a perfect illustration) cause a great deal of pain/damage because of impact to the femoral artery.
Oooh so close. But nevertheless, incorrect.
The correct answer is femoral nerve. Actually the femoral nerve – not artery – lies more directly in the path of such a blow and carries the pain and motor signals to a large portion of the leg/thigh. Too bad there's no such thing as partial credit in medicine.
Please, let's continue our grand rounds.
During the main event, Shane Carwin was forced to breathe through his gaping mouth due to the blood and trauma to his nose. Rogan then commented that breathing with his mouth open during a fight is potentially dangerous because it would make Carwin more susceptible to getting hit (or have difficulty avoiding a strike).
Not exactly.
Breathing with an open mouth makes it more likely that one may suffer a broken jaw when struck. It also exposes a fighter's chin and relaxes the neck muscles and thus renders one more susceptible to a knockout.
Combat Sports Medicine 101: Open mouth + exposed chin (not tucked) + relaxed neck muscles = recipe for disaster.
The best medical commentary (cageside physicians not included) given all night was when legendary Philadelphia corner man Mr. Leon Tabbs properly advised a battered Carwin not to blow his nose in an attempt to clear the blood and improve his breathing.
Dr. Tabbs (he received his honorary medical degree through job experience and tens of thousands of rounds in the trenches) intuitively knows that after the soft tissue around the eye becomes seriously injured due to repetitive blunt trauma, the vessels begin to leak. If the patient then strains/bears down (valsalva) to increase pressure to forcefully clear his nose, rapid blood loss that creates massive swelling will ensue – likely closing shut one if not both eyes.
Three things were vital in allowing Carwin to persevere to an honorable, if not lopsided, conclusion:
- His undeniable heart
- Great officiating by referee Herb Dean
- Superb corner work and advice by the legend, Mr. Leon Tabbs
I bow in respect.
Meanwhile, will someone, anyone do something about this terrible judging?!
Anyway, what an amazing night of athletic competition at UFC 131. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I have installed zimbra on our home server, it was a bit of a hassle, because we don't have a local dns server running.
Our situation is as follows, we have a router, with all the necessary ports forwarded, and a server running behind that.
The installation gave quite some errors involving the DNS, but in the end, I managed to get the installer to complete successfully with the help of bind9.
I think its solved it as following, when the installer requests the ip in the mx records of our provider, bind9 says its local, since thats the same ip as our machine, it succeeds.
So we have the webclient running now, the only problem is that we cannot send or receive mail from/to the outside. From one local user to another works fine.
Do you have any idea in what direction to look to tackle this problem?
I have installed zimbra 6.08 on an ubuntu 10.04 installation (64 bit)
Thanks in advance for your help.

ATLANTA -- Shoppers are expected to spend more than $600 billion this holiday shopping season, and many will use cash. The question, is the money in your wallet real?
Atlanta resident Ebony Stell never questioned her money, until her name ended up on a police report.
Stell says she got $265 in cash after making a return to an Office Depot.
"We just take the change expecting it to be real," said Stell.
Stell has no idea how much of what she received was counterfeit, but she does know she went shopping at Walmart before the machine in the self check out line at Home Depot put a stop to her spending spree.
"The lady came out and she said it's not going through because it's fake money and I thought for sure, I'm about to go to jail," said Stell.
The secret service says the $20 bill is the most commonly counterfeited and it's a crime simply to be in possession of it.
Stell wasn't arrested, but she did call police to file a report and hand over the money. She took several photos before handing the bills to police. You have to admit, they're pretty good.
"Who ever did it was a professional because it was crisp, it was, felt just like this one, there was no difference," described Stell.
She says it wasn't until she held the bills up to the light that the difference became obvious. the counterfeit money didn't have a watermark or security thread. And the ink on the number 20 in the lower right hand corner, didn't change from gold to green when tilted.
Office Depot denies giving Stell counterfeit cash. A manager told 11Alive they checked the register and all of the remaining money in it, checked out.
Many stores will check $50 and $100 bills to make sure they're real, and the Secret Service says you should take the time to check your change, too.
Every denomination has its own tricks for detecting a counterfeit bill. The Secret Service has published a helpful guide to know what to look for.

Spring and summer vacations are approaching, and this year there are more vacation scams out there, according to the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection.
The 11Alive Help Desk wants you to know how to avoid getting scammed this season.
RESOURCE GUIDE | Protecting against vacation scams
More and more people are receiving postcards in the mail from travel companies falsely advertising free round-trip airline tickets. In return, consumers are asked to attend a sales presentation about travel club memberships. They are then assured major travel discounts once they become a member. In actuality, these discounts are made up or sometimes even offer the same rates that known travel websites offer.
If you received a vacation offer and it appears to be fraudulent, contact the Postal Inspection Service.
"We continue to hear from Georgians who are questioning the legitimacy of advertised vacation deals," says John Sours, the Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Protection.
Before you decide to use a travel company, Sours also recommends for consumers to, "Investigate and compare offers before spending their hard earned money. Among other things, thoroughly review the terms of the agreement, verify any alleged price discount, learn the refund terms and cancellation policies."
Be sure to check the travel company's reputation or if any complaints exist at the Better Business Bureau. In addition, verify if the company is registered with the American Society of Travel Agents

San Francisco, CA (Sports Network) - Cincinnati Reds starting pitcher Johnny
Cueto suffered an injury in the first inning of the opener of their National
League Division Series against the San Francisco Giants.
Cueto struck out Angel Pagan to begin the bottom of the first inning, but
was removed from the game with apparent back pain after delivering a pair of
strikes to Marco Scutaro. Cueto made just eight pitches.
He may have been injured during the Pagan at-bat. Pagan called timeout right
as Cueto was about to deliver a pitch. Cueto followed through, but held onto
the ball.
With the count 0-2, Cueto was replaced by Sam LeCure. who retired Scutaro on a
ground ball to second base. Another grounder to second by Pablo Sandoval ended
the 1-2-3 first inning.

And forward we do go!
FINALLY, we go in to the Vaults and down bosses!! With our partners in Divine Brilliance whose help was essential, got past the hurdle known as the Stone Guard, and even went on and after a few tries got Feng the Accursed down as well! Excelllent raid people! On to next week!
Time to go forward!
It's now been a good bit of time, we do have level 90 folks, time to see what the new raiding is all about!
Posted on the In-Game Calendar:
Tuesday invite yourself 10 man raid,
Wednesday a 25 LFR invite yourself.
Just a reminder, the invite yourself is there so we can get a good idea who is interested in raiding going forward.
Please go sign up if you are interested!
Time to pick up where we left off!
Ok, the patch has rolled and people should be checking out their new specs & talents.
Time to resume raiding!
There is a new batch of signups posted on the in-game calendar.
NOTE – Signup, not invite, this time it's up to you to invite yourselves by signing up – all are welcome! If we go over, the raider ranks will get priority, but don't let that deter you, we're looking to see who's interested!
..And there's MORE!
(Insert picture from your own imagination, since none of us thought to take one)
And with repeated success on Deathwing, time to look at DS Heroics. After working out all the added strategy, Aegis Hestia with members from Divine Brilliance down Morchok and his evil twin Kohcrom for some sweet 410 loots! Chef Boyarde gets a new [Hand of Morchok] and Analeva got a [Robe of Glowing Stone]!
More Heroic modes to come!
Deathwing goes down!
With only one night to make it happen, Aegis Hestia has succeeded! After the absolute first attempt getting extremely close, and even if it was pushing end of raid time, we made the famous last attempt live up to its reputation and made it a full on clear of the entire Dragon Soul encounter!
And on a small personal note, this may be the first time in the entire history of the guild that I've personally been in the raid the first time we've gotten the end boss down. Good job everyone!
And then there was one!
It's a 2 for 1 sale! In being hopeful to finally get past Blackhorn, Aegis Hestia exceeded all expectations in raiding this week! With a much better plan on fight tactics in place, and with friends from <Divine Brilliance> filling in for absent guildies, the Warmaster Blackhorn encounter went far smoother than it ever had before, dare I say, even a bit easy.
And then we proceeded on to the Spine of Deathwing where removal of armor was simply a matter of getting the execution down and that encounter was also put behind us.
Aegis Completes "Seige of Wyrmrest 10M"
Aegis Hestia rushes to defend Wyrmrest against DeathWing and his masters the "Old-Gods". After a few minor struggles and creative uses of duct tape (since we all know how reliable Horistins' heals are…), AH was able to down the first four bosses of Dragon Soul.
6 of 7… Can you FEEL it?
Confident from our previous nights success, Aegis Hestia set our sights on Alysrazor and Majordomo Staghelm for our second night of raiding. After a rather hectic start with Alysrazor's trash, Aegis got serious (ie muted Horistin on vent) and went about downing Alysrazor and Majordomo. Both were guild first!!!
Anleva obtained Wristwraps of Arrogant Doom.
Purdie obtained Sandals of Leaping Coals.
Nhil obtained Shoulderguards of the Molten Giant.
Bandaj obtained Eye of Blazing Power.
Kaimenate obtained Moltenfeather Leggings.

So, I had a problem with migration from one server to another.
This is how I solved this problem:
1. backup /opt/zimbra/backup & /opt/zimbra/storage
2. install zimbra 4.0.5 and configure it properly
2.1. if you had multiple domains, create those domains on new server before doing enything else
3. copy backup & storage folders of old server to new one into same location

Catholic hopes for a new pope
As the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego prepares to welcome a new bishop this year, the global Catholic church is also gearing up for a leadership change.
Pope Benedict XVI announced his resignation last week — the first pontiff in more than 600 years to leave the office before his death. Now, Vatican watchers and the faithful are waiting for the conclave of cardinals to choose a replacement.
Catholics in San Diego County said they're both hopeful and in deep prayer about the impending leadership successions at the highest level of the church and right here at home.
Kitty Pyle, who leads a Bible study group at St. Mary's Church in Escondido, seeks a man who will follow in Pope Benedict's footsteps. She described the outgoing pontiff as being committed to traditional Catholic values.
"I don't want to see other changes," Pyle said. "He's very holy, he's very friendly, he reaches out to people and we stand in awe of him. He represents Christ and he lives it."
Pyle also sees a similar set of strengths in the county's next bishop.
Bishop Robert Henry Brom is expected to step down this year and Coadjutor Bishop Cirilo Flores will step into the role.
That transfer of authority will have a more significant day-to-day impact on the local church and its parishioners than the papal switch, said Msgr. Dan Dillabough, vice president for mission and ministry at the University of San Diego.
"The bigger change comes from our own new local bishop and what is the makeup of this local church and what are the challenges to really minister to the almost 1 million people who are Catholics in San Diego and Imperial counties," Dillabough said.
Flores has said his focus will be new evangelization, new vocations and renewed support for Catholic education and the disadvantaged.
The diocese, which has 99 parishes in San Diego and Imperial counties, estimates a flock of nearly 1 million Catholics. It currently has 986,499 members in 2013, up by 0.5 percent from the previous year, according to parish membership reports. The total includes active and quasi-active members.
In terms of race and ethnicity, the diocesan congregation is 42 percent white, 39 percent Latino, 15 percent Asian, 2 percent black, 1 percent American Indian and 1 percent other.
Nationwide, Catholics account for almost 20 percent of churchgoers and make up the single largest Christian denomination in the United States.
Many counties in California have a higher proportion of Catholics, especially in the central and southern areas of the state, according to a 2011 Glenmary Research Center report titled "Catholics in the Religious Census."
Whatever their demographic differences, lay Catholics, nuns, priests and high-level church officials have generally said in recent days that the next Holy Father needs to be internationally aware and communicate well in the modern world.
"My personal hope would be someone who has the experience of the universal church and of the world that's turned into somewhat of a global village," Brom, the local bishop, said when Pope Benedict announced his resignation Monday.
Brom also hopes the papal selection committee will be "sensitive to the movement of the spirit in responding to the contemporary needs of the church and the world." Religious scholars have said the most pressing concerns include growth of the church in Africa and Asia, which brings distinct needs, and how to articulate the relevance of Catholicism in an increasingly secular society.
Dillabough at USD expects the cardinals to assess both the opportunities and challenges the church faces in spreading the faith — and how it relates to other religions — in selecting the next pope.

If that's the ONLY research you do - sure, horrible approach. But as part of an approach with other research, it's fine. The people using the product are the ones who'll be able to tell you about all the warts. And they're often folks that have tried out other frameworks that do equivalent things and can tell you why they picked the one they did.

@wm003: Actually, i've taken a look at SAP's HTML5 UI toolkit, and it's indeed not as bad as you would think. It's very un-SAP-like.
It is purely client-side, and integrates with the server via OData (similar to the Sencha Touch SAP example from a while ago). It's basically a coherent set of dataset-backed widgets on top of jQuery where the datasets have easy bindings with an OData service (but you can integrate them with anything server-side). When I looked at it there wasn't an MVC architecture, so you're on your own as far as structuring your code goes, but other than that it was not bad at all. The whole thing is styled with LESS, and the default L&F doesn't look half bad (better than ExtJS's blue theme at least).
You should really check it out. For example: http://allthatjs.com/2012/02/23/gett...d-with-sapui5/

With SASS it's really pretty easy to theme an app. It does take some patience but after a day you can get quite far. I have an app that use gray and green with no rounded corners. Not complete because I haven't gotten back to it and it's not a high priority of mine.Mitchell Simoens @LikelyMitch

Also, I would not be that proud that it takes at least 1 day to get something started, when e.g. with the jQueryUI Theme roller: http://jqueryui.com/themeroller/ a total newbie (even a non-programmer) can get fantastic results after 10 minutes.

We want to help to reverse a global trend in agriculture that threatens not only coffee quality, but also sustainable food production, groundwater integrity, and our planet's biodiversity. Our new Save Our Soil campaign aims to raise awareness about the widespread degradation of soil health brought about by conventional, chemical-based agriculture and shed light on the critical importance of organic agriculture as the way forward.
Friday, April 20, Counter Culture Coffee training centers in Asheville, Atlanta, Chicago, Durham, New York, and Washington, DC, will host Save Our Soil launch events, which will include a cupping (tasting) of three different organic coffees followed by a presentation about the campaign.
Over the course of the next year, Counter Culture, our customers, and other partnering organizations will hold Save Our Soil events – from organic food and coffee pairings to home composting workshops and organic farmer round table discussions – focused on education, as well as opportunities for organic advocacy.
Save Our Soil is about solutions, and it carries the positive message that we can solve our soil crisis through organic agriculture, which builds rather than destroys soil health. We simply care too much about great coffee, and the communities that depend on it, to sit by while its future is threatened. We hope to inspire people to join us as fellow organic advocates!

(Sports Network) - It certainly wasn't pretty, but the events of this past
week for head coach Jurgen Klinsmann and the U.S. men's national team could
go a long way toward shaping the future.
The week began with anonymous quotes about dissension in the side, yet followed
with the Americans earning a vital point at Mexico on Tuesday with a 0-0 draw
to put themselves in a good position to qualify for the 2014 World Cup.
In between there were snowstorms, protests and plenty of frayed nerves, but it
all added up to give us a better understanding of what this team is about.
When Klinsmann was hired to replace Bob Bradley in July 2011, it was thought to
be a breath of fresh air for the national team as the German was expected to
implement a more exciting style of play in sharp contrast to the conservative
approach of Bradley.
Yet after the United States began its final round of World Cup qualifying with
a disappointing 2-1 defeat at Honduras in February, it seemed that the sharks
were beginning to circle.
A story in Sporting News last week quoted anonymous players as saying that a
large part of the team dislikes Klinsmann, and it appeared that things were
coming apart at exactly the wrong time.
To make matters worse, Klinsmann was facing the most crucial stretch of his
national team reign without three of the most reliable players in recent
years: goalkeeper Tim Howard, captain Carlos Bocanegra and leading scorer
Landon Donovan.
Howard was out with a back injury, leaving Brad Guzan to take his place, while
Donovan remains away on a self-imposed sabbatical.
Bocanegra was fully available, but Klinsmann decided not to include him in the
side with the 33-year-old struggling to find playing time on his club team,
Racing Santander, in Spain.
The U.S. squad also was without a host of other players because of injury or
illness, including Edgar Castillo, Timmy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo, Fabian
Johnson, Jonathan Spector, Jose Torres and Danny Williams.
This left Klinsmann with a roster short experience and long on question marks.
But over the course of five arduous days, the coach learned a lot about his
The 1-0 win over Costa Rica in blizzard conditions was simply about survival
as the United States used an early goal from captain Clint Dempsey to claim
three must-have points.
It was far from an attractive match, but an inexperienced back line held up
with veteran DaMarcus Beasley putting in a great shift as an out-of-position
left back.
At one point in the second half of Friday's game, the match referee stopped the
contest and threatened to call it off, which would have forced a replay and
wiped out the 1-0 lead for the home side.
But the game was allowed to continue and the United States held on, while Costa
Rica lodged an unsuccessful protest with FIFA after the match citing unplayable
With an all-time record of 0-13-1 in Mexico in World Cup qualifiers, the
Americans were always going to be up against it at the Estadio Azteca on
More questions were raised when central defender Clarence Goodson was unable
to play because of a hamstring injury suffered in Friday's win, forcing Matt
Besler to make just his second national team appearance in the most hostile
environment possible.
What followed was a tremendous team effort as the U.S. squad offered little in
attack but was able to ride a bit of luck to hold off a frustrated Mexico
Belser and Omar Gonzalez turned in heroic efforts in the middle of the
defense, and in doing so, could give Klinsmann some much-needed stability in
an area where there has been none recently.
This is easily the most competitive group in the history of CONCACAF
qualifying, but with the United States having survived two of its toughest road
matches already and sitting just one point from the top of the group, the
future suddenly looks much brighter.
The U.S. squad will play its next three qualifiers in June, allowing some key
players to return from injury to give Klinsmann more options.
Two of those three games will come at home, where the Americans will be
favored to earn six points, while the other is at Jamaica, which sits on the
bottom of the group.
Over the past week, there were a number of reasons for the U.S. team to fall
apart. Infighting, injuries, inexperience and a hostile environment were all
reasons that could have conspired to put the Americans in a huge qualifying
It may not have been the most aesthetically pleasing 180 minutes of soccer in
U.S. history over the past week, but it was among the most resilient.
Surviving a week like this will only serve to strengthen the resolve of the
U.S. team, which as long as it qualifies for the World Cup, can look back on a
week in March as the turning point in a tumultuous campaign.

|HHS finishes with best league record
|Written by Kyle Arnoldy
HHS ended the baseball regular season with a bang, topping Wray 10-7 and 11-0 Saturday, May 4 on the strength of eight home runs by the Dragons.
The pair of wins brings Holyoke's season record to 17-2, earning them the No. 1 seed in the 2A District 7 Baseball Tournament beginning Friday, May 10.
Holyoke 10, Wray 7
There was no shortage of suspense and entertainment in the first game of the doubleheader as there were five lead changes.
Holyoke lit up the scoreboard first as Brett Cumming crossed home on an infield error and Trevor Dalton scored on a Logan Tharp single. Wray responded in the bottom half of the inning, taking the lead on a three-run home run.
The Dragons regained the lead in the fourth inning. After Bradley Cumming reached base on a walk, Brett Cumming cleared the bases with the first of many home runs on the day for Holyoke.
The Dragons had a rough fifth inning defensively. In what should have been a three up, three down inning, Wray managed to score three runs on two hits and two Dragon errors to take a 6-4 lead.
"Every game counts now," Coach John Zilla said of the inning. "We can't keep making mental mistakes."
With Holyoke down two runs in the sixth inning, Brett Cumming once again provided the spark the Dragons needed. After another Wray pitch landed past the outfield fence and Brett had finished trotting the bases on his second home run of the game, the deficit was cut to one and the Dragons had the momentum to make a late-inning run.
Five batters later, Tharp singled to left field, scoring Jaydin Goldenstein and Jesus Hermosillo and taking the lead at 7-6. The Dragons added another three runs in the top half of the seventh inning and held Wray to just one run for the 10-7 victory.
Brett Cumming had an impressive game at the plate, finishing 5-5 with four runs scored and three runs batted in. Tharp was also efficient with a bat, going 3-5 with three RBIs. Goldenstein and Ryan Krogmeier both posted two-hit performances in the game.
Alfredo Santos started on the mound for the Dragons, allowing six runs on seven hits and striking out six. Dalton picked up the save, allowing one run on one hit and striking out three.
Holyoke 11, Wray 0
The second game of Saturday's doubleheader was more of a home run derby for the Dragons than a game. On their way to an 11-0 victory, six Holyoke batters watched hits sail over the outfield fence.
HHS attacked quickly as Dalton, the second batter of the game, connected with a pitch for a two-run home run.
In the third inning, Dragon pitcher Deyten Klein helped his own cause as he unleashed a three-run home run to increase the lead to 5-0.
Four of the first six Holyoke batters hit home runs in the sixth inning to enforce the run rule and end the match at 11-0. Brett Cumming, Jesus Hermosillo and Logan Tharp all hit solo home runs while Goldenstein connected for a two-run shot.
As dominant as the Dragons were on offense, they were equally as impressive defensively. Coach Zilla called the match the best all-around game of the season for the Dragons.
Klein recorded 12 strike outs in six innings of work, while only allowing one hit.
Upcoming action
The Dragons will take on the winner of the Wiggins/Merino pigtail match in the first round of the district tournament Friday, May 10 at 9 a.m. in Akron.
If they should win, they will play again Saturday, May 11 at 10 a.m.
Junior varsity finishes season strong
The Dragon junior varsity squad ended the season on a high note.
After sweeping Wray Tuesday, April 30, they tied with Sedgwick County 16-16.
"The kids looked really well and finally came together as a team so I was pleased," coach John Zilla said.

1971 Challenger - Xtreme VertibleWritten by on March 1, 2008 Contributors: Richard Prince XV's '71 Challenger Redefines Grand Touring
Remember the orange '70 Challenger that we brought you in last July's Mopar Muscle that combined 21st century technology with the E-Body's late-20th century style? The one that left you wondering how its builder could improve on it . . . or top it?
Well, XV Motorsports topped it with a drop-top Dodge based on one of the rarest Mopars ever made-the '71 Challenger convertible, of which fewer than 2,200 were made.
A collector, who already had potent machinery in his garage, such as a Hemi-powered Superbird, a V-code '70 GTX, and an M-code '69 Barracuda, as well as nearly a dozen examples of American muscle and world-class exotica, wanted something like them, but different. "He approached us and told us he wanted to do a convertible," says John Buscema, president of XV Motorsports. "I told him that we had a '71 Challenger. I showed him the body style, and he really liked it, so he had it built."
John says, "The '71's engine is a heavily worked, 600hp, 6.1-liter Hemi." A T-56 six-speed was upgraded with triple-cone synchronizers for higher-rpm shifts, and a dual-disc hydraulic clutch went in place but not without some significant fabrication. "To put that tranny in requires reworking the transmission tunnel to fit a T-56, so we had to fabricate a new transmission tunnel," John says. Out back, there's a 4.33-geared, 8-3/4-inch rearend that works great with the T-56. "The reason we were able to do that and still have it usable is because the final drive ratio on a Viper T-56 is around 0.50:1," he points out, while noting that first through fourth are geared 2.66, 1.78, 1.30, and 1.00. "You have two overdriven gears: fifth and sixth. fifth is 0.74 and sixth is 0.50, which is great. it's all close-ratio,so you can run a lot of gear in the back of the car."
You can also run a lot of tire in the car. There are big Michelin Pilot Sports at each corner (335/30YR18s in back and 275/35YR18s in front), wrapped around a set of 18-inch, Kinesis-forged, three-piece wheels. They fit thanks to a little fender-lip rolling and XV's own Level II suspension system. The XV suspension replaced the OEM torsion bars/rear leafs with hardware fabricated in-house. The '71's chassis features two aluminum A-arms, aluminum high-pressure monotube coilovers, and aluminum spindles on each side in front, with a power rack-and-pinion steering system, custom front antiroll bar, and adjustable bumpsteer kit-all surrounding an aluminum K-member that cradles the powertrain while adding strength and subtracting weight. In back, there's a three-link suspension that features billet aluminum lower links, an adjustable Panhard rod, and aluminum monotube coilovers, with a custom rear antiroll bar for good measure. And for another good measure, there's XV's Level II brake package, with 14-inch rotors and six-piston calipers in front and 13-inch rotors/dual-piston calipers in back.
XV's fabrication shop also made additional structural reinforcements that went into the Challenger's body. "If you're familiar with the chassis stiffening that we do, this car has an additional piece in it that we put on convertibles," John says. "There are four pieces that we put in the car for chassis stiffening. In the convertibles, there's a fifth piece that we use on the framerails in the back." They also made a set of billet/hydraulic aluminum hood hinges for this car, which will likely join XV's product line soon.
The interior got as much attention as the chassis, with a prototype center console containing an Alpine audio system, flanked by two custom-upholstered Recaro bucket seats. A complete custom gauge cluster, including a 200-mph speedometer and 10,000-rpm tach, replaced the stock pieces. blue leather covers the seats, doors, and side panels.
A show-quality blue paint job and a top-quality canvas convertible top were the finishing touches added before the '71 was unveiled to its patron. With more than a little understatement, John describes the customer's reaction to his newly built car: "He thought it was awesome!"
This build didn't take half of forever as some one-off and custom builds can. Ordered in January 2007, the car was completed the following June. What's even better, XV Motorsports can build an E-Body Mopar for you, one loaded with performance items from XV's long list of available features. John explains: "The way it works is, we'll sit down with the customer, get an idea of what they want, then we go back to them with a proposal and specs, laying it out, and refining it from there." That also includes providing paint chips of the colors they can use. If you're looking to DIY a Challenger XV of your own, they can supply the individual parts and subassemblies, too. If you want to see what else they can put on one for you, log on to xvmotorsports.com, and start your planning/dreaming there.
In the meantime, this '71 Challenger's not only graced one devoted enthusiast's garage and the roads near his home, it's also attracted positive attention to XV Motorsports, with a featured place on the company's web site following its completion. "I have another one just like it sold," John says with pride.
Fast Facts
'71 Dodge Challenger Convertible
Built by XV Motorsports
Irvington, NY
Mopar Power
Engine: A 6.1-liter, 372ci Hemi, balanced/blueprinted, hand-assembled, and loaded with parts made by XV Motorsports, which includes all the stuff you didn't get for Christmas: XV's own single-plane intake with billet throttle body, fully ported/polished heads, performance camshaft, equal length headers, 3-inch stainless steel exhausts with H-pipe and stainless Magnaflow mufflers, and a custom-tuned engine management system good for 600 hp.
Transmission: Viper-spec T-56 six-speed (with triple-cone synchros for proper high-rpm shifting), with dual-disc hydraulic clutch and pistol-grip shifter handle.
Rearend: 8-3/4-inch rearend, with 4.33:1 rear gears that work great with the T-56's overdrive fifth and sixth gears.
Sure Grip
Suspension: XV Motorsports' Level II suspension system replaced OEM torsion bar/leaf setup with a short/long arm, double A-arms/high-pressure aluminum monotube coilover front suspension, a three-link with aluminum monotube coilovers, and Panhard rod in back. One more thing: Custom-fabbed antiroll bars. Two more things: Custom aluminum front spindles.
Brakes: If just enough (i.e., stock Mopar brakes) are good, a lot more is even better. The 14-inch rotors and six-piston calipers stop the front, while 13-inch rotors and dual-piston calipers are on duty in back.
Wheels: Now, these are "New York Giants!" wheels are forged three-piece Kinesis rims, 18x9-1/2 inches in front; 18x12s in back.
Tires: Michelin Pilot Sports, 275/35YR18 in front, 335/30YR18 in back.
High Impact
Body: A rare one (one of less than 2,200 '71 Challenger convertibles built) treated to remedial metalwork and paint prep by XV Motorsports. They also added structural reinforcements to keep the roofless steel body from pretzelizing when the go-pedal is mashed to the floor. Body features include a Shaker hood and billet/hydraulic hood hinges.
Paint: Bright blue, sprayed on by XV Motorsports. Remedial bodywork and paint preparation also done by XV Motorsports.
Interior: Recaro bucket seats flank an XV-made console that houses an Alpine sound system, Pistol-Grip shifter, and dual cupholders. XV also did the custom steering wheel. the custom gauge set includes a 200-mph speedometer and 10,000-rpm tach. Seats and side panels upholstered in leather complement the Challenger's body color.

Here's the best seat in the house-the leather Recaro bucket between the T-56's pistol-grip shifter and the gauge set with a 200-mph speedometer and 10,000-rpm tach.XV Motorsports prototyped this console for this particular build, and they'll offer it on their future creations. Gotta love those cupholders!Here's one front corner of the '71's chassis. Check out the custom spindle, coilover, upper and lower A-arms, and steering rack-secrets to this car's amazing handling.When you have huge brakes at each corner, you need serious hardware throughout the braking system, as this master cylinder/Hydroboost power brake booster attests.The front antiroll bar is a NASCAR-style, splined shaft with aluminum arms and a custom billet mount.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA)- The transformation of the front of the U.S. Capitol into an inaugural platform is well underway for the public swearing in ceremony of Barak Obama. But, for only the 7th time in history, the president will have already been sworn in the day before, in a private ceremony.
That's because it's the seventh time the Constitutionally-mandated inauguration date of January 20 falls on a Sunday. And, because of tradition, the public ceremony will be held the next day, Monday, January 21st.
Four years ago, America celebrated the inauguration of the country's first black president. Visitors poured into the city from across the country to watch it firsthand.
Once again, 250,000 tickets are being given out for close up lawn space in front of the Capitol. Those tickets are distributed through Congress. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-D.C.) says she'll get only 200 tickets, but has already received 2,600 requests.
She will chose the recipients using a lottery and will try to acquire more tickets from other members of Congress.
In 2009, a record crowd of near 2 million poured onto the National Mall. Beforehand, planners had no idea is that many people would fit on the Mall between the Capitol and the Washington Monument.
This year, fewer are expected, but Holmes Norton thinks the numbers will reach the second highest ever to see a presidential swearing-in.
The Chairman and Vice Chairman of the Joint Congressional Committee on Inaugural Ceremonies, U.S. Senators Charles Schumer (D-NY) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN) hosted members of the media Tuesday during a tour of the Inaugural platform under construction on Capitol Hill. President Barack Obama will be sworn in for his second term during a private ceremony on January 20 and a public ceremony on January 21, 2013. (Photos by Getty Images)

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Brian Moran is leaving as chairman of the Virginia Democratic Party, announcing that he won't seek another term after his party won presidential and senatorial elections last week.
Moran steps down next month when the state party's ruling central committee meets in Williamsburg. The committee will select a new chairman that day.
Moran, who represented Alexandria in the House of Delegates, unsuccessfully sought the Democratic gubernatorial nomination in 2009, and is the brother of U.S. Rep. Jim Moran. He held the chairman's seat for two years.

Anoka County Library's Spinning Yarns: Telling Tales about Textiles
What do baseballs, spacesuits, and mittens have in common? They are all textiles.
Every day we use textiles. We wear them, dry dishes with them, hang them on our walls. Through Spinning Yarns: Telling Tales about Textiles we'll explore how they're made, the materials they're made with, and the stories they tell.
"With the resurgence of knitting and handcrafts over the past decade, textiles are still a vital part of our culture," said Library Board Vice President Cathy Montain. "Learn about yarn from fleece to finished object."
Anoka County Library will host several programs as part of the Spinning Yarns series:

If you are interviewing more than one mother/primary caretaker in the same household, ask the question once of each of the mothers/primary caretakers. Circle the codes for the symptoms mentioned. If the caretaker mentions a few signs and stops, continue by asking "ANY OTHERS?" until the caretaker cannot recall any additional symptoms, but do not prompt with any suggestions. Circle the codes corresponding to all symptoms mentioned. If you are not sure whether a certain sign as reported by the respondent fits in one of the above categories, write it down in full and check with your supervisor later.

Whether you indulge in a warm, soaking bath or a take a refreshing shower, bathing is a time for renewal and relaxation as well as cleansing. Pevonia Botanica Bathing Pleasures gives you a wonderful botanical bouquet of selected oils and extracts along with other ingredients to soothe, cleanse and exfoliate your skin while the aromatherapy benefits work to calm your mind and improve your whole outlook.
The Pevonia Botanica Bathing Pleasures oil and scrub provide a relaxing way to scrub away those accumulated oils and the day's residue of airborne pollutants and grime. Open your pores, get rid of layers of dead, dull skin and reclaim your naturally soft skin. While you scrub and restore your body, cleanse your mind of its accumulated worry and stress with Pevonia Botanica Bathing Pleasures. The carefully selected combination of herbal aromas works on your sense of well-being, giving you a fresh outlook (as well as a fresh look and smell). Hazel nut and almond seed oils, pine needle and meadowsweet extracts – what better way to start the day? Or refresh after a long day?
Natural oils and extracts have both cleansing and aromatheraputic values. Why not take advantage of them? Pevonia Botanica Bathing Pleasures provide a combination of pleasing ways to pamper yourself in body and mind during your well-earned bathing time. Add a small amount of Pevonia Nymphea Essential Oil Bath & Shower Gel – Anti-Stress to running water or pour a little onto a cloth or sponge to get an aromatic foaming cleansing experience. It provides a soothing way to hydrate, renew and refresh your skin.
Beginning with sesame seed oil – used in skin care for thousands of years – this "queen of oils" not only helps alleviate dry skin, but is also a natural anti-oxidant with anti-bacterial properties. Horsetail leaf oil also adds its anti-oxidant properties. Hazel nut oil is absorbed quickly into the skin, without leaving an oily residue, and encourages cell regeneration in addition to stimulating circulation. Sweet almond seed oil is an excellent emollient and moisturizer, nourishing the skin and keeping it soft to the touch. The carefully balanced sachet of essences includes the subtle meadowsweet. The pleasant scent of steam-distilled pine needle extract is used by aromatherapy practitioners to relieve stress, energizing and invigorating you while you bathe. Massage Pevonia Silky Skin Body Scrub onto wet skin and gently scrub away dead skin and pollutants. Moisturize and smooth rough areas, while the jojoba oil and aloe leaf gel nourish and soften the skin. It can be used for all skin types, but is particularly beneficial as a weekly or bi-weekly treatment for dry skin.

The Aviator (2004)
The Aviator SynopsisThe most interesting thing about Howard Hughes is that in his final years he went completely mad and locked himself away in self imposed solitude to completely lose his mind. I dont think this movie is going to focus much on that part of his story. Instead, The Aviators got vaguely Muppet-esc actor Leonardo DiCaprio playing the famous philanthropist in a movie whose trailer is full of the glitz, glam, and innovation of his period.
The rest of the cast isnt too shabby either, with the underrated Alec Baldwin, the where the heck did he go to Alan Alda, I am a great actress who makes terrible movies Cate Blanchett, vampires are fun Kate Beckinsale, and Im running out of funny things to say. But rounding things out is Willem DaFoe and most interesting to me, Jude Law as Errol Flynn a man who he ought to do a nice job resembling. This is a movie that doesnt just have star power, it has young stars with serious acting chops.
I wasnt very impressed with Scorceses Gangs of New York, but this looks like it may be the movie weve all been hoping for from him.

Wheeling City Council will ring in the new year by deciding whether to lift a restrictive downtown zoning rule in hopes of filling vacant buildings - and whether to spend $2.4 million for engineering work on a new water treatment plant.
Those two items are among those up for a vote during council's first meeting of 2013 at noon Wednesday in City Manager Robert Herron's conference room on the third floor of the City-County Building, 1500 Chapline St.
Renovation work in council's new chambers on the first floor of the building continues, and is expected to be complete sometime in January.
Article Photos
Photo by Ian Hicks
Any future developers who build on the now-empty property in the 1100 block of Main and Market streets in Wheeling would have increased
flexibility if council votes Wednesday to
eliminate a restrictive downtown
zoning rule.
The proposed zoning change would strike language from City Code that prohibits residential use on the ground floor of most downtown buildings. It would affect the city's D-1 and D-2 districts, which include everything between the Fort Henry Bridge and 16th Street from the east side of Main Street to the west side of Eoff Street, and also the west side of Main Street between the bridge and 11th Street.
A third downtown district, D-3 Riverfront - which includes most land between Main Street and the Ohio River from the Suspension Bridge to 22nd Street - already allows street-level residences.
Council's Development Committee voted to recommend that change after hearing from Heather Slack, an interested St. Clairsville developer who said it is tougher these days to find commercial renters than residential tenants.
Forcing building owners to forego a large chunk of potential rent income while looking for a business to rent to, she said, makes people think twice before investing in downtown property.
Approval of CT Consultants Inc., an Ohio firm with an office in Wheeling, to perform engineering and design work for the planned $36 million to $37 million water treatment plant in Warwood would represent the first major step toward construction, which officials hope will begin this coming summer.
If that timeline remains intact, residents also will see their water bills increase by 53.1 percent this summer.
In lowering the city's rate increase from the 70 percent council passed last year following a protest from some of Wheeling's water resale customers, the Public Service Commission of West Virginia ruled the rate increase could go into effect as soon as construction begins.
Wheeling's water treatment facility is 89 years old and is past its useful life, according to Herron.
Council will also vote on the following items Tuesday:
- Rezoning property at 891 Ivy Ave. in the Woodsdale area from R-1A Single-Family to R-2 Two-Family to allow owner Dennis Bashaw to convert his house into an owner-occupied duplex;
- Spending $36,090 in federal Community Development Block Grant funds with Dump Truck Inc. of Wheeling to demolish buildings at 45 Pike St., 1222 McColloch St., 1222 Baltimore St., 340 Highland Ave. and 53 Jones St.; and
- Spending $9,185 with Edgco Inc. of Lansing for asbestos abatement at each of the above listed structures except 1222 Baltimore St.
