PARACHUTE - Cody Pfau stood on the gym floor at the Warrior Classic wrestling tournament in December, her face showing her annoyance.
The public address announcer reeled off an impressive resume for the Grand Valley High School senior: A silver medal she won at the Pan Am Games wrestling tournament in Maracaibo, Venezuela, and her national title in Fargo, N.D.
As those accomplishments were announced to everyone watching the tournament finals, Pfau turned to her coach, Rick Gallegos, and defiantly said: "So? I was wrestling girls!"
"She tells me that as all of these things are being said about her," Gallegos recalled. "She figured that none of those guys cared about that. There were some people in the stands saying 'Wow!' But to her, she knows that she's competing in a boys sport now."
Piling up the wins
Pfau has more than held her own on the wrestling mat since she began her high school wrestling career as a freshman at Class 2A Meeker. She's qualified for the state wrestling championships at the Pepsi Center in Denver twice, the second time coming last year at 3A Grand Valley.
On Jan. 18, she won the 106-pound weight class championship at the Jim McCall Invitational in Leadville, needing just a combined 2:03 to pin her first four opponents before winning the tournament championship by major decision, 14-1.
It was the third weight-class tournament title Pfau has won this year. The first came at the Delta Panther Invitational in December, when Pfau finished 4-0 in her weight class. The second came at the Eagle Valley Invitational on Jan. 12, when the first of three
opponents she was slated to face refused to wrestle her and forfeited.
"I've never had that happen before, where a guy refused to wrestle me," she said, sheepishly. "I'd rather not say who he was. I don't want to embarrass him or his school."
Pfau did plenty of that in Leadville the weekend of Jan. 18. She won her first four matches by pin in 13, 28, 34 and 48 seconds and, with her 4-1 record at this past weekend's Rumble in the Rockies dual tournament at Rifle High School, her record moved to 20-3. That put her fourth in the state on Jan. 18 in Tim Yount's "On the Mat" rankings for Class 3A wrestlers, behind Diondre Garcia of Monte Vista, Tel Kelly of Alamosa and Channing Lewis of Eaton.
Not that she cares about that kind of thing.
"That's just paper," Pfau said. "You have to wrestle the same kids no matter what. I'll just wrestle the same. People will psych themselves out if they [pay attention to rankings]. They're going to wrestle defensively and say, 'Oh, this guy is going to be super good, so I have to protect myself.' If you don't wrestle hard and aggressive, you're going to get beat no matter what."
Used to wrestling the guys
Pfau has been wrestling since she was an 8-year-old, throwing herself into the mix of boy wrestlers since she didn't have a choice at the time. She stuck with it and, after her skills and presence on the mat improved over time, tournaments followed.
So did success, and a lot of it. This past summer, Pfau took gold in her 33-wrestler weight class at the ASICS Footwear Vaughn Junior and Cadet National Championships in Fargo, N.D. That followed up a big performance on an international stage, where she took silver at the girls Pan Am Championships just a few days earlier in Maracaibo, Venezuela. She was part of a national team that took second place.
Needless to say, much of Pfau's success against girls on the mat has come from wrestling against guys since she started the sport. Her teammates at Grand Valley embrace her, and giving up 20 pounds to her wrestling partner in practice, 126-pounder Miguel Valles, prepares her even more for matches in her own weight class.
Pfau's skill set on the mat comes as a surprise to those who have never faced her. What exactly is it like to face Pfau for the first time?
"Not very fun," said freshman first-year wrestler Nathan Dresser, a teammate of Pfau's. "We were up in our stances, and she grabbed my wrist and jerked me in one direction, did a single-leg [move] on me and pinned me in about 20 seconds. It blew my mind."
It's also in the genes
Part of Pfau's success might also be attributed to her pedigree. Her mom, Megan, played Division II college basketball and golf at Slippery Rock University of Pennsylvania. Her dad, Doug, was an all-state high school football player in Ennis, Mont.
Her brother, Zane, is a four-sport athlete at Brush High School (golf, baseball, basketball and wrestling), and her youngest brother, Wyatt, plays football and baseball and wrestles in Brush, where this past summer he won a weight-class title at a national wrestling tournament in Utah.
Doug Pfau took a teaching job in Brush this past fall and brought Zane and Wyatt with him. Cody and Meg stayed behind in Parachute, however, since Cody was on pace to be Grand Valley's valedictorian.
She's reached that pinnacle with a 4.2 grade point average, which rose thanks to the 4.5 GPA she turned in this past fall semester. She's also Grand Valley's student body president.
Yet with all that going for her, Cody Pfau will be the last person to brag.
"She doesn't want to talk to anyone about her accomplishments," Megan Pfau said, "because she doesn't think they're very big accomplishments."
On to college
The 17-year-old has made wrestling aggressive a staple for herself, and it's paid off. She recently signed to wrestle for Oklahoma City University in Oklahoma City, Okla., an NAIA school that has won the past four Women's College Wrestling Association national championships and can boast of 10 individual national champions since 2008. Going into the national championship tournament on Jan. 26, OCU boasted an 18-3 dual-meet record. Pfau earned a hefty scholarship to the school, where she wants to study medical biology.
"Kudos to her and everything she's accomplished in the women's division," Gallegos said. "Right now, we're so hard on her because we're basically preparing her for her future. We don't hold anything back."
Talk in recent years has centered on Pfau's potential to wrestle in the Olympic Games, possibly as soon as Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2016. Pfau feels she'd have a better shot at the 2020 Olympics, when she's more experienced at age 25. The site for those Olympics is undetermined, but finalists include Istanbul, Tokyo and Madrid.
In the meantime, there's plenty of goals Pfau would like to focus on in the next month, such as winning the regional tournament her school will host on Feb. 15-16. Until that happens, she's not allowed to talk about the state tournament because, as Pfau puts it, "I haven't gotten there yet."
"Humility is taught in our room," Gallegos said. "If we see one person getting up on themselves, they'll hear about it. Cody personifies humility and she's preparing for her future. If she chooses for that to be in wrestling, she'll be great."

text: Home World Can Freedom of Press Happen in Ethiopia? Charlayne Hunter-Gault went there with media advocates to urge the release of jailed journalists. By: Charlayne Hunter-Gault Posted: June 18 2012 12:52 AM 0 Jailed journalist Eskinder Nega (Courtesy of FreeEskinderNega.com) (Special to The Root) -- After a reunion a few weeks ago in New York with Serkalem Fasil, an Ethiopian journalist and former publisher whose husband Eskinder Nega, also a journalist, is in prison on terrorism charges, I vowed to go to Ethiopia and plead with the government for his release, along with that of several other journalists imprisoned with him. Despite the Ethiopian government's claim that Nega and the other seven journalists are "spies for foreign forces," a wide array of human rights organizations and freedom of the press advocacy groups believe otherwise. The journalists are there primarily because of their critical reporting, say rights groups, as Nega was when I visited him seven years ago along with Serkalem (who gave birth to their child in prison). And the government has gotten even tougher since then. As many as 150 people reportedly have been arrested since the government passed a sweeping anti-terrorism law in 2009. I have just spent the weekend in Addis Ababa with two colleagues -- Rob Mahoney, deputy director of the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), on whose board I serve, and Dele Olojede, a board member on the African Media Initiative (AMI), which I co-chair. We had gotten word that the government would meet with us, provided we got beyond where such meetings have been in the past: criticism of the government's record on press freedom and intense condemnation by journalists, human rights advocates and some Western governments. And while we had every intention of being critical of journalists' incarceration and calling for their release, we believed we could go beyond that with the participation of both CPJ, which fights for press freedom all over the world, and AMI, which helps media owners and journalists to be the best they can be, with workshops and other kinds of professional assistance. A few hours after arriving in the country, we were welcomed at the Ministry of Information and spent the next two hours with the minister, Simon Bereket, who is said to be a power within the government. And while the meeting was cordial, the minister held fast to the government position that journalists had not been prosecuted for what they had written, but for what he termed as an effort to protect the country from terrorists. (There have been some terrorist attacks inside the country, arising primarily from tensions with neighboring Eritrea, with which Ethiopia fought a border war in 1998 that resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands. Also, several al-Qaida suspects were arrested and charged in May with plotting against the government.) We asked for but failed to get permission to meet with the prisoners to hear their side of the story. But before we met the minister, we had spent some time with Fasil. She said that during an earlier visit to the prison to take her husband food -- prison food is sparse -- Nega asked her to tell us that under no circumstances was he connected to or supportive of any terrorist organization, inside or outside the country. One of his alleged crimes was to speculate in his blog about whether an Arab Spring-type movement would take place in Ethiopia. In April, the Ethiopian government, which owns the printing house used by many private newspapers, made printers liable for any content that could be deemed illegal under the terrorism laws. The journalists insist this action puts still another obstacle in the way of freedom of speech. We raised this with the minister, who denied any form of censorship at the printing press. In keeping with our word that we would get beyond condemnation, AMI proposed the government join the journalists with whom we had met and commit to participating in an AMI-sponsored seminar and workshop that would, in the words of Dele Olojede, "bring together all stakeholders, with the aim of strengthening independent media in Ethiopia." It is a process AMI has carried out in a number of African countries, including some of Ethiopia's neighbors. The minister told us the government would be willing to participate. He also told us: "If there are problems in implementation of any law, the government is ready to sit down and review." In closing our meeting with the minister, I emphasized that in no democracy that I know of is there ever a lovefest between the media and the government. But in order to have a democracy that lives up to its principles, it is important that they co-exist in good times and in bad. For the good of this young democracy, we each encouraged the minister to let our people -- his people -- go. The final disposition of the imprisoned journalist Eskinder Nega is due on June 21.

ESPN right to pull LeBron James story off website
ESPN was right to pull the LeBron James story off its website detailing a wild night of partying in Las Vegas Wednesday.
But not because the story had no value. People have a strong interest in reading about the personal lives and activities of professional athletes, for their good or bad deeds. Despite what some may think, newspaper and broadcast agencies know exactly what types of stories people are reading and/or watching because of measuring methods such as ratings and website hits.
ESPN was right to pull the story because it would have created yet another double standard of coverage for LeBron James.
Why should he, again, be singled out for routine behavior and choices in the fast-paced social lives of athletes? Nothing illegal (that we know of so far) happened at this party. And let's be real, this isn't the first or last wild party an athlete, CEO, politician or average guy with connections or cash to blow will engage in.In fairness, the article was not a negative smear campaign against LeBron. It was just more endless air and space about the "King" with no rings.
Although, I'm sure his ring status will be changing soon.

This is very nice !! I love the feel of the buildings.
I've only very recently become interested in mapping, and I am (slowly) teaching myself how use GIMP. This is my second attempt at mapping, or for that matter drawing anything in GIMP. I was hoping for some feedback, or criticism.
My first attempt used the excellent tutorial for realistic mapping, you can see the results in the thread below:
I decided that for my second attempt, I would try something different. To that end, I made a city map. I wanted this to be stylized rather than realistic - it is definitely not meant to be to scale. Rather, the buildings are supposed to represent the type of district. For instance, small huts on stilts are the poorest housing.
Most of the map is constructed using the path tool, and various calligraphy brushes. Obviously, I am very new to this, so there are some parts that are a bit sloppy...but tell me what you think, or if you have any comments.
This is very nice !! I love the feel of the buildings.

Everything I post is free for use and redistribution under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 licence, except where noted otherwise in the thread.
I like the style of this one; it's very clean and the building representations look great.
Very cool!! Have some rep.
Just one thing if I may? I love the "handdrawn" look, but I think the copy\paste buildings pull the look down a bit.... It would go from 98% to 100 in my book if you make each and every building unique........
PS: Defenitely gonna try this out myself...
-Sigurd Sigurd Brutus Motor-
- This is Dice Country -
- My DeviantART -
Thanks for your comments. I wanted to have the aesthetic be such that it could conceivably be 'handmade' and I did hold back on things like extra texture on the water, which would not make sense if it were drawn. I tried drawing the writing, but it didn't look right. Originally I wanted just one colour, but it was impossible to differentiate the roads.
I am a bit puzzled as to how I will draw things like trees\ vegetation in this style.
Definitely, the copy+paste of some of the buildings does take away from it, but it was a proof of concept as much as anything else.
It's very good indeed, and a solid proof of concept. I think you've done a great job nailing the brush stroke calligraphic style with the path tool.
I think colouring the river by hand with one of the brushes would work well - at the moment it does look a bit like a bucket fill. Also, the drop shadow/outer glow on the text jars a little with the hand drawn look.
Lovely work - and a very good approach to the problem of city mapping. Have some rep!
It's probably the use of the Calligraphy pen but it would work excellently for an Asian city map. I have never even used that tool. I love your buildings too.
When its over and you look in the mirror, did you do the best that you were capable of? If so, the score does not matter. But if you find that you did your best you were capable of, you will find it to your liking. -John Wooden
* Rivengard * My Finished Maps * My Challenge Maps * My deviantArt
I really like this style. Try adding some feathery "ink bleed" to the linework edges to make it look even more authentic as the inked lines seem to float off the page in some places.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried to add some 'ink bleed' and play around a bit with the river as well. I think the ink bleed idea worked. Although I am not happy with the river, I do think it is a little better.
Sorry to bump an old thread, I thought it would be ok since it is very related.
I had a bit of a hiatus from map making, due to a lapse in gaming. ( I make these for a GURPS game that I GM.)
However, I picked up a wacom tablet for a good price, so I thought I would have another go at city mapping.
This one is also a bit of an experiment. I still don't have the hang of perspective; on a similar note, the darker sections of the city are supposed to represent the buildings being inside the cliff face, in a cave system. Does this work?
Criticism welcome, cheers.

It took ten years and 20 screenplays before Robinson's work reached the screen, in the shape of the Oscar-winning "The Killing Fields" (1984), directed by Roland Joffe. Robinson parlayed the success of "Fields" into his first directing assignment, the critically acclaimed, semi-autobiographical "Withnail and I" (1987). A laconic study of two "resting" actors set in the late 1960s, the film demonstrated Robinson's wry sense of humor, keen powers of social observation and ability to coax fine performances from his actors, Paul McGann and Richard E.

Rafael Nadal was spotted at a photo call for the Aussie Open sporting the new silver hardware he won after defeating a teary Roger Federer in the Sunday final.
I'm thinking this win and momentum bodes well for Rafa and his first attempt at the calendar-year GRAND SLAM especially since Regal Rog may be reeling from this loss for a while. But no pressure, really.
My eye would be on Andy Murray, though, to be his biggest obstacle this year. Anyway, congrats again on the big win Rafa!
UPDATE: After the big win, Rafa repeated his plea directed at the tennis officials to reconsider the number of hard-court tourneys on the large-scale calendar to help prevent injury and lengthen careers on both Tours:
This calendar I am playing with this surface—hard court surface—is tougher than grass or clay for the body, and all the time we are playing more on this surface.He also deemed winning the Davis Cup this year his main goal now. I guess he'll be standing in Roger Federer's way here too!
In my humble opinion, we have to change that a bit more. I can say that because I won a grand slam on hard (courts).
Before if I say that, a lot of people think `He wants to change because he's a clay player.' But believe me, I don't think anything about if I am a clay court player or not.
When I say this, I think about the best for the players and for the future. It's not possible to have a lot of injuries on tour like this. So we have to try to change something.
...To play with this aggression and with this rhythm all the time from the 1st of January to 31st of December is impossible.

Gunman Killed During Routine DUI Stop
A routine DUI traffic stop in northern California ended in a bloody melee, as a man trying to escape a DUI arrest was gunned down by police after he reached for his own weapon, according to a recent article in the San Francisco Chronicle.
Sources indicate that the 42-year-old driver, whose identity has not yet been released, was stopped last week on suspicion of drunk driving at around 10:00 p.m. in Santa Clara, California.
When the responding officer saw that the man was being uncooperative, he called for backup from a nearby fellow officer. According to a police report, before additional officers arrived, the suspect was seen reaching for a revolver in his car.
In a statement released by Santa Clara police captain Phil Cooke, the officer on the scene "fired in self-defense based on the suspect's actions." The shots fired by the officer ultimately proved fatal for the suspected drunk driver.
Again, according to Cooke, "unfortunately, the suspect was pronounced dead at the scene, but we're grateful there were no other injuries."
Police shootings of suspects, whatever the situation or crime, always foster a great deal of public scrutiny, and this incident will likely follow suit. Santa Clara police officials and other authorities have already launched a full-scale investigation of the matter.
While the investigation is proceeding, the officer who fired the fatal shots will be placed on administrative duties and temporarily taken off the streets. Sources indicate that the officer has been a member of the Santa Clara police force for two years.
This incident, while harrowing, raises a few interesting issues about DUI arrests. First, since police officers never know the mindset of the person they are pulling over, they often approach even routine traffic stops with a heightened level of awareness.
As a result, drivers should refrain from making sudden movements, or taking any steps that might make it appear like they are reaching for a weapon.
In addition, drivers are cautioned to pull over in a relatively non-busy and well-lit location, both for the protection of themselves and the officers.
Moreover, when an officer approaches your vehicle after you have been pulled over, keeping your hands on your steering wheel shows the officer that you are not dangerous and allows them to approach your car with a greater degree of comfort.
Finally, and this seems like an obvious statement but it must be emphasized, drivers who are pulled over, especially on suspicion of drunk driving, should remain polite and relatively cordial during their discussion with police.
Any aggressive words, even if they are not supported by violent actions, could be interpreted by police as a sign of hostility, which could lead to further criminal charges, or, in the worst case, unwanted violent action.

Traditional biochemical and lysate-based assays (e.g., western blot, immunoprecipitation, ELISA) have been integral in the analysis of individual signaling events, however they are limited in their ability to monitor the phosphorylation and subcellular localization of multiple proteins on a per cell basis. PathScan® Signaling Nodes Multiplex IF Kit offers a novel method to simultaneously monitor signaling through key pathway nodes using manual immunofluorescence microscopy, or automated imaging and laser scanning high content platforms. These kits contains a cocktail of three high quality primary antibodies targeted against phospho-Akt (Ser473), phospho-p44/42 (Thr202/Tyr204), and phospho-S6 (Ser235/236) and a detection cocktail utilizing the Alexa Fluor® series of fluorescent dyes. Antibody formulation and dye pairings have been pre-optimized and each kit contains enough reagents for 100 assays (based on a working volume of 100 μL/test).
Phospho-Akt (Ser473) antibody detects endogenous levels of Akt only when phosphorylated at Ser473. Phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204) antibody detects endogenous levels of p44 and p42 MAP kinase (Erk1 and Erk2) when dually phosphorylated at Thr202 and Tyr204 of Erk1 (Thr185 and Tyr187 of Erk2), and singly phosphorylated at Thr202. This antibody does not cross-react with the corresponding phosphorylated residues of either JNK/SAPK or p38 MAP kinases. Phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (Ser235/236) antibody detects endogenous levels of ribosomal protein S6 only when phosphorylated at Ser235 and Ser236.
Monoclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic phosphopeptides corresponding to residues surrounding Ser473 of human Akt, Thr202/Tyr204 of human p44 MAP kinase, and Ser235/Ser236 of human ribosomal protein S6.
Akt, also referred to as PKB or Rac, plays a critical role in controlling the balance between survival and apoptosis (1-3). This protein kinase is a downstream effector of phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K), and is activated by phospholipid binding and activation loop phosphorylation at Thr308 by PDK1 (4), as well as by phosphorylation within the carboxy terminus at Ser473 by the mTOR-rictor complex (TORC2) (5). This pathway is down-regulated following dephosphorylation of phosphatidyl-inositol 3,4,5 triphosphate by PTEN, as well as by deactivation of PI3K with targeted small molecule inhibitors such as wortmannin and LY294002 (2,3,6,7).
p70 S6 kinase, a mitogen activated Ser/Thr protein kinase downstream of PI3K and the mTOR-raptor complex (mTORC1), phosphorylates the S6 protein of the 40S ribosomal subunit leading to an increase in translation of mRNA transcripts that contain an oligopyrimidine tract in their 5' untranslated region (8). These particular mRNA transcripts (5'TOP) encode proteins involved in cell cycle progression, as well as ribosomal proteins and elongation factors necessary for translation (8,9). Important S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation sites include several residues (Ser235, Ser236, Ser240 and Ser244) located within a small, carboxy-terminal region of the S6 protein (10,11).
Both p44 and p42 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases (Erk1 and Erk2, respectively) play a critical role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation (12-15). MAP kinases are activated by a wide variety of extracellular signals including growth and neurotrophic factors, cytokines, hormones, and neurotransmitters. Activation of MAP kinases occur through phosphorylation of Thr202/Tyr204 on human Erk1 and Thr185/Tyr187 on human Erk2 at the sequence T*EY* by a pair of upstream MAP kinase kinases (MEK1/2) (16,17). Erk proteins are negatively regulated by a family of dual specificity (Thr/Tyr) MAPK phosphatases, known as DUSPs or MKPs (18), along with MEK inhibitors such as U0126 and PD98059. Erk dependent phosphorylation of TSC2 at Ser663 leads to the functional inactivation of the TSC1/TSC2 inhibitory complex, and subsequent downstream activation of S6 ribosomal protein through the mTORC1/p70 S6K signaling cascade (19).

PCC in the News
News: PCC Spotlights Alumni as Part of African American History Month
Pasadena City College has long been known for its commitment to social justice and equality. In celebrating Black History Month 2013, we take a look back at some of PCC's most celebrated African-American alumni. This is but the first installment of the February series.
You've probably heard that Jackie Robinson attended PCC. As the first African American to play professional baseball, Robinson was an integral part of moving civil rights forward. He graduated in 1939, and signed with the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947, when he was declared Rookie of the Year. By 1949 he was named Most Valuable Player. He was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1962.

The City of Rockford Legal Department announced today that they have settled the matter of City of Rockford vs. San Jose Cultural Center located at 3780 East State Street.
The complaint addressed a November 4, 2012 incident which began as a confrontation inside of San Jose Cultural Center and spilled out of the business. Subsequently multiple gun shots were fired in the parking lot of the business as well as other locations as vehicles fled the scene. At least two businesses and one residence were struck by bullets.
As a result of the November 4th events, the City immediately suspended the Cultural Center's liquor license for seven (7) days. In the course of the investigation by the Liquor Commission it was determined that the terms and conditions of approval of the liquor license issued to San Jose were violated, and the significant level of violence which subsequently erupted on and about the licensed premises was a direct result of the violation.
In addition to the immediate relinquishment of the liquor license issued to San Jose Cultural Center, the parties also agreed to the following terms:
The owners of the San Jose Cultural Club have worked cooperatively with the City of Rockford to settle this matter. The Liquor Commission hearing scheduled for November 21, 2012 at 11:30 a.m. has been cancelled.
ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- San Jose nightclub has officially given up its liquor license and the city of Rockford has agreed not to sue the owners for the deadly violence that broke out at the club earlier this month.
The city of Rockford just released a statement saying San Jose will have to pay a fine of about $630 and the city won't take further action against San Jose for what happened at the club. You may remember gunfire broke out in the parking lot and two men died in the aftermath. No alcohol can be sold on the property until a new liquor license is issued to a new owner.

Feisty former mayor, New York icon dies
Former New York City Mayor Ed Koch died early Friday morning from congestive heart failure. He was 88.
After serving the U.S. House of Representatives from 1969-1977, Koch served three terms as New York City's mayor, from 1978 to 1989. Friends, colleagues and even opponents recalled him as a feisty leader never afraid to speak his mind, who loved New York City.
Under his tough fiscal policies and sharp budget cuts, the city climbed out of a financial crisis in the 1980s. According to the Wall Street Journal, Koch launched a city-funded public housing initiative to restore homes destroyed by arson. He stood up against a transit strike, walking with locals to encourage them when they had to commute to work by foot. He also reformed the city's method of selecting judges, replacing a patronage appointment system with a system of merit selection.
"Earlier today, New York City lost an irrepressible icon, our most charismatic cheerleader and champion, Edward I. Koch," Mayor Michael Bloomberg said in a statement. "Through his tough, determined leadership and responsible fiscal stewardship, Ed helped lift the city out of its darkest days and set it on course for an incredible comeback."
Koch's mark on the city has been set in steel: In 2011, the Queensboro Bridge, which connects Manhattan to Queens, was renamed in his honor.
The larger-than-life Koch won a national reputation for his feisty style. He was known as always having a friendly quip, but for being equally fast with cutting remarks for his political enemies. "You punch me, I punch back," he once observed.
Born in the Bronx on Dec. 12, 1924 to Polish immigrants, Koch worked his way through school, checking hats, working behind a delicatessen counter and selling shoes. He attended City College and served as a combat infantryman in Europe during World War II, earning his sergeant stripes.
He received a law degree from New York University in 1948 and began practicing law in Manhattan's Greenwich Village neighborhood. His political career began as a member of the Village Independent Democrats, a group of liberal reformers. He was elected to the City Council and then to Congress, serving from 1969-77 as representative for the "Silk Stocking" district, then known for its millionaire Park Avenue constituency.
Koch was the first Democrat to represent the district in 31 years. He described himself as a "liberal with sanity" and crossed party lines several times during his career, most notably in support for George W. Bush's re-election in 2004. "I supported his willingness to stand up to Islamic terrorism," he explained in a letter.
In the 1977 race for mayor, Koch defeated incumbent Abraham D. Beame and Mario Cuomo in the Democratic primary to win his first term in City Hall. In 1981, like his hero Fiorello LaGuardia, he ran on the Republican and Conservative party lines. In both 1981 and 1985, he won re-election, securing an unprecedented three-quarters of the votes cast.
But Koch's third term was beset by corruption scandals, even though they weren't directly linked to him. Queens Borough President Donald Manes resigned over kickback and patronage allegations and later committed suicide. Bronx Democratic leader Stanley Friedman and three others were also tarred, and his commissioner of affairs was forced to step down due to a personal scandal involving her boyfriend.
The administration was also beset by racial unrest. In Howard Beach, a white gang murdered a young black man in 1986. Three years later, a group of whites in Brooklyn's tough Bensonhurst neighborhood shot a black teen to death. Six weeks after the second slaying, Koch lost the Democratic primary to David Dinkins, the city's first black mayor. But Koch didn't blame his loss on simmering racial tensions. "I was defeated because of longevity," Koch said. "People get tired of you."
At age 83, Koch paid $20,000 for a burial plot at Trinity Church Cemetery, at the time the only graveyard in Manhattan that still had space. He had his tombstone inscribed and installed. The marker features the last words of slain Wall Street Journal reporter Daniel Pearl: "My father is Jewish, my mother is Jewish, I am Jewish."
His tombstone also includes the Shema -- "Hear Oh Israel the Lord our God, the Lord is One" -- and the epitaph he wrote after his stroke in 1987: "He was fiercely proud of his Jewish faith. He fiercely defended the City of New York, and he fiercely loved its people. Above all, he loved his country, the United States of America, in whose armed forces he served in World War II."

South Caravan visits Springdale
The South Caravan wrapped up with three stops on Monday. The first was in Springdale, Ark., home of the Double-A Northwest Arkansas Naturals. Royals owner David Glass met with pitchers Bruce Chen, Danny Duffy and Will Smith before a luncheon, which was hosted by the Naturals and the Springdale Rotary. The program included Glass greeting the crowd of over 200. A Q&A session for the pitchers followed, with Chen providing several laughs. Fans were happy to see former Naturals Duffy and Smith, who helped the club to the 2010 Texas League title. We also noticed a Bruce Chen Northwest Arkansas jersey – a very rare item as the lefty made just one rehab start with the club!

GLEN DALE - After a hard-fought, 2-1 victory against Morgantown in the first game of the John Marshall Invitational, Monarchs coach Ed West was caught off guard by how quickly his team responded in the championship game Saturday evening.
It took just one inning for JM to build a double-digit lead as the Monarchs went on to win their own invitational, 12-1, in three innings against Cameron.
''I was a little bit surprised with the finish of that game,'' West admitted. ''I thought we were better than Cameron, obviously, but I didn't expect a three-inning game. They helped us out with a couple fielding errors and we were hitting the ball hard, next thing you know, we got 12 runs.''
Article Photos
John Marshall first baseman Amy Rotriga stretches to make a catch and record an out on Cameron's Bailey Wood during action of their game Saturday in Glen Dale.
With one on and one out for the Monarchs (4-0), reigning state Gatorade Player of the Year Kylie Howard stepped up to the plate and blasted a line drive deep into center field for a triple as Abbi Namath crossed home to give JM a 1-0 lead.
After Howard scored on a Sissy George double, Amy Rotriga brought in George and Morgan Watson on a line drive into right field and it was 4-0 Monarchs.
Jackie Gellner blasted another hit into left field, which cleared the way for scores from Rotriga and Lexi Benline to stretch the margin to 7-0.
By the time the inning was over, the Monarchs nearly went through their entire batting order twice on the way to totaling 10 hits.
''They were hitting the ball real well, putting the bat on the ball,'' West said. ''That's a good thing. In the first game, we only scored two runs, but we had zero strikeouts. Every girl in the lineup hit the ball. When you do that, you put the pressure on the defense by making them field the ball and you have a chance.''
That pressure was the Dragon's undoing as the young team was unaware of how to counter the Monarchs attack.
''When you play the defending state champions, these things are going to happen,'' Cameron coach Mark Witzberger said. ''(My team wasn't) really sure how to handle the situation. They're really inexperienced. They'll learn from it.''
An Ashley Berardi groundout in the top of the second allowed Marissa Meintel to score, but that was the lone offensive production for the Dragons as the game was called after three.
Alyssa Blake picked up the victory for John Marshall, while Cameron's Linda Hall took the loss.
''They have everybody back, but one,'' Witzberger pointed out. ''And they have a couple other girls that are in there that are really good. We graduated five starters. I knew we were going to be in a rebuilding year. I didn't expect us to go out there and play the way that we did. We're capable of playing better. But we're real young. We're inexperienced and it's growing pains.''
For the returning W.Va. Class AAA state champions, West is happy with where the team is early in the season.
''I think we're playing well,'' he said. ''We had two quality wins last week (against Lincoln Memorial and Wayne County). Then (Saturday) was a quality win against Morgantown, a good team, and then Cameron, they didn't play their best game, but that happens sometimes. We just have to stay focused and continue to execute and we'll be fine.''

Hello, first a laugh at the MS Paint sketch (drumroll) - I used to do maps in MS Paint too, you know.
I am assuming this map is for fantasy purposes. Is this all the data that needs to go into the map? If so, and if you need a hand-drawn style b/w map, of which I've done quite a few and am willing to say I am passable at, I can have one done for you by Wednesday (possibly earlier, but not willing to bet on it with Easter and family holidays here).
If more labels need to go into the map, Thursday or Friday are doable.

Hello Artie, here is the web link: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-54/028340/XS-Scuba-Mask-Strap.html. That is the same strap that comes with the mask. As for ordering you can either place your order on-line or you can call us at 1.800.347.2822 and we can help you place your order.
going to bora bora...never really snorkeled before. how to you clear your mask if you dont have the purge option. and how does the purge option work?
Hello CJ, if you get a good fitting mask you should not need to clear your mask. But if you do get water in your mask? With a purge mask all you have to do is look down and exhale threw your nose and that will clear the water out of your mask. With a non-purge mask you will need to bring your head out of the water and lift the bottom skirt of the mask to drain the water. If you have any other questions or would like to place an order please feel free to give us a call at 1.800.347.2822.
Bill, answer the question: "What snorkel does it come with?" I could order a burger, fries, and a drink but the options suggest the mask comes with a snorkel. What snorkel comes with the mask? Dont tell me I can order an upgrade. What snorkel comes with the mask?
No snorkel comes WITH the mask. The choice of upgrade can change from time to time and as this is an ongoing information data base, and inventory information today may not be valid when a person reads this post in the future. That being said ANY snorkel with go with ANY mask. There is no such thing as matching snorkel and mask. To find out what snorkel we are currently offering with the masks, simply click on the upgrade link and it will be displayed for you or will take you to the snorkel page where you can choose which snorkel will go with your mask.

Czech communist whisky matures to excellence
PRADLO DISTILLERY, Czech Republic The Scottish peat was put on trucks and trains. The destination was Communist-era Czechoslovakia. The recipient: apparatchiks desperate for a decent whisky.
The journey beyond the Iron Curtain during the Cold War turned out to be the easy part. When the batch arrived, the Czech distillers had only a faint idea how to make whisky - and it took years to get things right.
"It was one thing to read about it in books, but reality is something different," recalled Vaclav Sitner, a member of the team tasked with creating a premium whisky.
Now, almost 40 years on, the last batches of "Hammer Head" are winning rave reviews. And, in a historical twist, they are owned by a U.S. hedge fund that bought the beverage company that Sitner worked for.
Sitner, whose name still appears on the label, recalls the "alchemy" and "joy" as they concocted the whisky. It sold well despite its relatively high price in a communist economy.
In Czechoslovakia, living standards were higher than in most other communist nations, but only a limited variety of Western products were available at special stores for those privileged enough to have access to foreign currency. In common stores, there was a significant shortage of Western goods, from bananas to electronics.
"There were no means to import foreign whisky," Sitner said. Communist states' currencies were not convertible and the struggling command economies failed to produce enough decent goods to sell in exchange for hard currency.
The original plan was to source all the ingredients and equipment locally - but met no luck.
"The problem was with the peat, because it didn't work," said Sitner. "The peat we had was from South Bohemia and in combination with oak shavings it created all sorts of problems."
"It was the most expensive peat in Europe. The (Scottish) peat didn't actually cost that much but the transport cost a fortune. We placed it on trucks and a train carriage. One carriage was enough for us for 5-6 years."
Sitner and his colleagues had to rely completely on their own skills since they had no chance to travel to Scotland to visit distilleries. They needed a good barley supplier and knowledge of how to grind it, a source of suitable water and new oak barrels where the product could mature for at least three years.
A small distillery in Pradlo, in the west of the country, coincidentally had a hammer mill of the kind used in Scottish distilleries. Dating from the 1920s, it was the only one in the entire country. Work started in 1976; three years of tests were needed before trial production could start - and mass production started eight years later.
Communist apparatchiks liked it so much that the bottles became a favored present.
"The comrades liked to drink whisky, despite the fact that people (in those days) were obligated to drink vodka," Sitner said. "But comrades still liked the whisky."
The 1989 Velvet Revolution toppled the regime and the Czech whisky also vanished from sight as the market was flooded by whiskies from all over the world. Then whisky ceased to be made for good. What left had time to mature in the original oak barrels for years to improve gradually into its current level of excellence.
The liquor company that the distillery belonged to, Stock Plzen-Bozkov, was privatized. The new owners felt the drink had no future. They sold some 250 barrels for a ridiculously low price - "barbarism," recalled Sitner.
In 2007, U.S. hedge fund Oaktree Capital Management acquired the company.
When officials from London-based Stock Spirits Group that controls the company for the fund were presented the local whisky, their first response was "impossible it was made here," Sitner remembered. After it passed a test in a tasting with some other single malt whiskies that followed, the company decided to put it on the market.

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Road Stems in stock than that.View Similar Products
3T ARX Alloy Stem $0.00
The 3T ARX Pro stem is identical in almost every way to the ARX Team stem. In fact there are only 2 differences of note: (1) The ARX Pro uses a steel bolt package instead of the Team's titanium bolts. This results in a net weight difference of 30g, with the ARX Pro weighing in at 150g. (2) The Pro has a White stripe down the side. The Team gets a Red stripe.
Structurally speaking, the ARX Pro and Team are the same stem. They're both forged for strength, and they both pass the same battery of DIN and CEN certification tests. With the Pro you end up a few extra grams due to its steel bolts, but you save a pocketful of dollars. It's available in 10mm increments between 90mm-130mm. The stack at the steerer clamp is 40mm tall. It comes in a 31.8mm clamp size only.
- Aluminum alloy for stiffness and strength
- Four-bolt faceplate distributes force across a larger section of the handlebar, making it ideal for composite bars
- Stainless steel bolts won't rust, so you're safe in all conditions

It's works
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Not many options for 17 degree rise stems. This is one and it works just fine. Looks good too.
It's a stem
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
But it's a good looking, fairly lightweight and reliable stem. Stainless steel bolts are solid, no problems on install or removal. Side to side it's plenty stiff, comparable to much higher priced options. Love the variety in length and angle it's offered in as well.
Hi, does anyone know what is the spec on the 4 bolts? I have a ARX-Pro stem with an Ergonova Pro Handlebar. Is it 5N.m?
The ARX team is on my bike and that's 5nm per the stem. The team should be the same or worse than the pro since the bolts are TI vs alloy.
Great Stem
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Lightweight, good looking too!
Nice and clean.
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
If you need a good solid stem and you are not a total weight weenie this one is for you. I use this stem on two of my bikes . Never had any issues killer stem and light to boot.
Best price/weight/quality ratio
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Very solid, steel bolts give zero problem, stem looks good and weighs in the neighborhood of 135g depending on size.
So good you will forget it. I guess that is the most compliment a stem could get?
Simple, Lightweight, & Stiff
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Super light and stiff for a good price. Tons of different length/angle options. Simple graphics that go with pretty much anything and look kosher flipped up or down. When paired with a 3T handlebar, the logo face stands out.
If you flip the -17 stem do you get +17...
If you flip the -17 stem do you get +17 of rise?
Yes, relative to the angle of your top tube. That would be quite a bit of rise. If you want a positive rise, most people stick with a stem in the 6-8 degree range.
Great Stem!
After a fitting I knew that I need a slightly shorter stem, so I looked and looked everywhere online to find the best reviewed. Well this one is it!
It is super light, stiff, and all in all, looks good!
Installation was a breeze, now all I need to do is ride to see about the durability.
great stem
great stem, stiff, light, much lighter than the stock stem on my 2005 allez which it replaced. the graphics look nice, and it's a overall a high quality piece. i was tempted to buy the next model up, the TEAM stem, but after reading several instances of sheared titanium bolt heads, and considering it's only a 5 or 10 gram weight savings for an extra $35, this seemed like enough. not to mention that many high-end bikes, including a good portion of cervelo's high end builds, use this same stem.
great product
I have a pinarello prince. In regards to...
I have a pinarello prince. In regards to steerer tube diameter, would this stem fit for my bike?
Yup, fit's all 1 1/8inch steer tubes including the Prince.

Safavieh takes classic beauty outside of the home with the launch of their Courtyard Collection. Made in Belgium with enhanced polypropylene for extra durability, these rugs are suitable for anywhere inside or outside of the house. To achieve more intricate and elaborate details in the designs, Safavieh used a specially-developed sisal weave.
If you're looking for an outside rug, this one is great. NOT for inside.RECOMMENDED: No.
This rug is stiff & scratchy. It hasn't relaxed after a week still. It is also significantly lighter in color that the website image indicates. The center color is a light cream and the edge is a hue lighter than chocolate brown. I thought they had sent me the wrong rug, but the label on the rug matches what I ordered. I have not had this issue with other rugs from this website, so hopefully this is a fluke. Still, I'm disappointed to have wasted my money.RECOMMENDED: No.

Skin bleaching originated from Asia all the way to ancient China and Japan where the proverb says; "one white covers up three ugliness." Then in 1960, skin lightening products were imported from Asia and launched in USA mainly for African-American women then it spread to Africa and Latin America where societies considers far skin as beautiful and as a higher social standing.
In Britain, obsession with fair skin can be traced all the way back to the 16th century and was called Venetian Ceruse, also known as Spirits of Saturn. The ceruse would be used as a skin whitener and the best they could find in that time. The product consisted of a pigment made by a white lead that caused lead poisoning and damage the skin as well as significant hair loss. If used over a long period of time, it would cause death.

Is the tape made in Italy?
Italian leather goodness you can wrap your hands around!
I used this on my 1982 Peugeot Carbolite 103 to keep that Euro/"vintage" feel. I got it in the yellow and it looks stunning and stands out at night. It's Selle San Marco so you know it is good, high-quality Italian leather that is durable and soft to the touch. It is well ventilated with four rows of pin holes and sweat has never been an issue; even after 30+ miles. As long as you clean your bars properly and are patient it is easy to install; maybe 15 minutes per side. I get comments on it all the time one how good it looks. Bottom line, it Selle San Marco...it will last so buy it for that Euro look you crave.

To the editor:
I read with interest the article about CrimeStoppers and the people who reaped their rewards by giving information to authorities.
I am now asking all readers of the Daily News: Isn�t there someone out there who has the information about who murdered that beautiful horse in Sneads Ferry last year?
Someone, somewhere knows who pulled the trigger that night and ended the life of an innocent animal that was loved by many people. Many, many hearts are still broken.
Whoever you are, don�t you realize that the sociopath who did this needs to be brought to justice? He � or she � needs psychiatric help badly. I understand that the North Carolina prison system has plenty of good shrinks that might possibly help this person see the evil error of their act.
Couldn�t you use the hefty reward money with which CrimeStoppers compensates people? Have you no heart? It�s not snitching. You won�t be labeled a snitch. You will have been instrumental in seeking justice for one of God�s creatures, that�s all. You deserve whatever amount CrimeStoppers will pay you; and the horse-killer will get what he � or she � deserves.

The Goodhood & Goodhood Life Store
- Location: London & online
- Specialty: Modern design home goods
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range - ($$$) High-End
- Website: goodhoodstore.com
Store History
- Founded: 2007
The Goodhood Store opened its doors on a backstreet in Hoxton, Shoreditch in September 2007. Started as a self initiated, self funded project to curate some of the finest clothing collections and objects from around the world, it's initial purpose was to support like minded brands from around the world who shared our ideas of independence, exclusivity and quality. Shortly there after came the webstore which has grown to becoming an industry leading website and along with the store carries some of the worlds most prestigious lines. An ongoing collaboration with R. Newbold started in 2008 and reaching into it's 4th year has been an integral part of defining the Goodhood Store aesthetic; each season a capsule collection is produced offering The Goodhoods Stores own take on the effortlessly style now synonymous with the store. In December 2010 the store expanded onto 2 floors so that dedicated space could be offered to both men and women. Early 2011 saw the opening of a new studio space called The Goodhood Workshop housing our own offices as well as an exhibition space in conjunction with Galeries Goldsein (G.A.G), which plays host to new and thought provoking exhibitions as well as one off launches like the U.K launch of the Carhartt Heritage line. The Goodhood Store remains unique in it's brand identity, it's culture, it's level of service and as a space men and women can both find the best of a worldwide curated selection of goods.
The Goodhood Store has been selling clothing and accessories for men and women since '07 but this year saw the launch of their Life Store, stocked with fresh and funky goods to outfit the home. The folks behind The Goodhood Store set out to be the destination for design in London's East End. Luckily for those of us who don't get the UK often (or ... ever) they also have a great web shop.
Name/Title: Jo Sindle/Co-founder
Launch date: The Goodhood Store opened in 2007, and the recent addition, The Goodhood Life Store, selling interior goods, opened in March this year.
Inspiration for opening: We travelled a lot in our old jobs and wanted to find all that we coveted from around the world - Japan, the US and everywhere else, under one roof in London, and specifically in Shoreditch where there were few stores at that time. We wanted it to be the destination store for London's East End.
Merchandise source: Everywhere and anywhere, from travels, books, markets... just wherever we see anything we like and want to share with our customers.
Best selling item: Our own label, Goods by Goodhood.
Your favorite item: The Gelchop Log stool.
Favorite store (other than your own): For Interiors and homeware I totally love Tortoise General Store on Abbot Kinney in Venice, LA. For clothing Beams Boy and Kapital in Tokyo are my absolute favourites. I wish they were all on my doorstep.

Cucumber Dip
From the kitchen of Dianne Simpson
1 cucumber – seeds removed, diced (about 1½ cups)
1 bunch of green onions, thinly sliced
8 oz. package cream cheese
2 Tblsp. Miracle Whip
Garlic powder or garlic salt to taste (Terri used one clove of garlic, finely chopped with a pinch of sea salt)
Mix cream cheese, Miracle Whip; add cucumber, green onions and garlic powder/salt.
This was still too chunky for me so I gently used my immersion blender to smooth it out a bit, but left some texture.
Serve with chips, crackers, vegetables. Also great as a sandwich spread, on a bagel loaded with veggies.
Terri's notes:
~A sprinkle of fresh dill would be perfect for garnish or extra flavor

About Montana
History and background of Montana. The late Helse Dolsey once called Claude Montana the "Leader of Paris fashion," but that could be said of many Paris designers. Another name for him has been "King of Shoulder Pads" which is a more apt title, looking to the size of the shoulders of many of his designs. He has spent a good deal of his career designing men's clothes for women. Read more about Montana

Incredible fragrance! Wonderful leather , very manly ,very classy with outstanding longevity and sillage. Lemony-bergamot with aromatic sage. Lovely pine resin smell. There must be vanilla in it. Amber, patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood in the drydown. Such a wonderful guy's scent. Sillage is pretty large for the first few hours. Longevity is incredible (> 24 hours on my skin). I've read that it's very similar to the more-expensive Aramis Havana, but I haven't tried that one to compare.

Shimano SH-WR31 Women's Shoes $0.00
It's an interesting transformation that takes places with biking: once you clip in, everything changes. The transition can be a bit tougher than it sounds, though. The Shimano Women's SH-WR31 Shoe can make the transformation a little less painful with a nylon soleplate that adds power to your pedal stroke, but isn't super-stiff and uncomfortable. Simple hook-and-loop closure makes fit adjustments a snap, and an upper made with soft synthetic leather and ultra-breathable mesh keeps the SH-WR31 cool and comfortable.

want to use these for spin class - I was told these shoes need clips to be able to snap into the bike. Can I buy these on this site and if so, which clips should I purchase?
Yes.These are compatable with SPD clips. You will want to look for the 2 holes on the bottom of the shoes. 3 holes only in a triangular shape will not work with the standard spinning class pedal. These shoes will work with a look type clip or spd.
Is this look delta compatible?

When it was announced that Japan was creating a live-action version of Hayao Miyazaki's beloved classic, Kiki's Delivery Service, it seemed as if the world could hardly wait.
This news was especially exciting for dedicated Miyazaki fans who were saddened by Miyazaki's news of retirement. Although the film director, animator, manga artist, producer, and screenwriter would no longer create brilliant works, fans took comfort that his legacy could live on through this live-action film.
Unfortunately, this excitement quickly dropped with the release of the film's teaser trailer a few months ago. Although the teaser gathered well over 1 million views, this number does not accurately explain fan reactions to it. The teaser had over 400 likes, but it also gained over 2,300 dislikes. Clearly, the public had no problem expressing their opinion.
Some complained about the special effects while others claimed there was no way it could accurately portray the magic of Miyazaki's work. Some even broke out into arguments about the 1985 novel by Eiko Kadono which inspired Miyazaki's work in the first place.
Whatever your opinion of the trailer was, there was simply no denying that fans seemed unsatisfied.
Recently, the first full length trailer of the live-action film made its way to the internet. This time, the trailer is a minute a five seconds. Although this may seem short for a full length trailer, this is still longer than the 40 second teaser released earlier.
This trailer reveals more of the island which Kiki appears to live on, the bakery she works in, a boy we suspect is Tombo, and more shots of Kiki flying on her broom.
The full length trailer is only a couple of days old, but it has already gained nearly 600,000 views on YouTube. Unfortunately, the dislikes almost double the likes. Once again, some ghibli fans do not appear to be pleased while others argue that it's a "must see."
Watch it below for yourself and tell us what you think.

Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - Delmon Young drove in three runs on three hits,
including an RBI double that ignited a two-run 12th inning that lifted the
Detroit Tigers to a 6-4 win over the New York Yankees in Game 1 of the
American League Championship Series.
Young had a solo homer earlier on and Jhonny Peralta also collected three hits
as the Tigers overcame a ninth-inning implosion from closer Jose Valverde to
take a 1-0 lead in this best-of-seven set to determine the AL's World Series
Valverde served up two-run homers to Ichiro Suzuki and Raul Ibanez in New
York's last at-bat that forged a 4-4 tie, but the Yankees mustered little
against Octavio Dotel and Drew Smyly the rest of the way. Smyly (1-0) notched
the victory with two scoreless innings of one-hit ball.
David Phelps (0-2) was hung with the loss for New York after surrendering two
runs on three hits in the 12th.
Suzuki finished 4-for-6 and Ibanez slugged his third homer of the postseason
as part of a 2-for-5 night. They were the exceptions, however, to a Yankee
lineup that stranded 13 runners and failed to score in three bases-loaded
situations against Tigers starter Doug Fister.
New York suffered another potentially damaging blow in the 12th, when
shortstop Derek Jeter had to be helped off the field after fracturing his left
ankle while making a diving stop.
Game 2 will take place on Sunday, with Hiroki Kuroda getting the call for the
Yankees and Detroit sending out Anibal Sanchez.

I just installed the birthday reminder zimlet on my 8.0 server. It shows up under Zimlets, and when I click it a dialog shows up. As it is labeled "Birthday Reminder: Preferences" I think it should be possible to set the options for reminder creation there. There aren't any options displayed, though, only the note about a new calendar being created, a horizontal line and two buttons labeled "Start Address Book Scan" and "Abbrechen" (cancel in German).
When I click the Start button nothing happens. Cancel closes the dialog, of course.
Does the zimlet not yet work with v8.0?
Thanks, Christian
