|Dragons post double win over Wray Eagles
|Written by Brenda Johnson Brandt
Big wins were posted by the HHS softball team in a varsity doubleheader against Wray Thursday, Oct. 1.
With a 12-run sixth inning, the Lady Dragons won the first ball game 22-11, then turned around to shut out the visiting Eagles 14-0 in five innings.
It was exciting for the Dragons to get these two much-needed wins against Wray as they near the end of their regular season.
Holyoke 22, Wray 11
Coach Ashley Clayton noted the first game against Wray was the story of three different games in just six innings.
Holyoke started off strong, scoring six runs in the first two innings. But during a rough third inning, Wray scored 10 runs, earning just three hits, with Holyoke making four errors.
The Dragons trailed 8-10 after three innings, both teams scored one in the fourth and HHS added another run in the fifth for an 11-10 Wray edge.
"The Dragons continue to rise to the occasion when facing adversity," praised coach Clayton, as they scored 12 runs in the bottom of the sixth.
The huge inning put the girls ahead 22-11 to end the game one inning short, due to the 10-run rule.
"Much credit is due to Macey Pierce for coming in and taking control of the game on the mound for the Dragons," said coach Clayton. She added the Dragon offense deserves a pat on the back for outhitting the Eagles 15-6.
Jordan Zeiler pitched two and two-thirds innings to open the game, giving up four walks, four hits, nine runs and earning one strike-out.
Pierce pitched three and one-third innings, giving up three walks, two hits, two runs and earning four strike-outs.
Makenzie Ault led the offensive stats, hitting three for six with five RBIs, a double and a home run.
Brittany Durbin was three for five with a double and two RBIs; Laura Gerk, two for four with three RBIs and a walk; Pierce, two for four with a triple, two RBIs and a walk; Jordan Zeiler, two for five with a double and two RBIs; Ashley Gragg, two for five.
Marci Vasa, one for three with a double, an RBI and two walks; Molly Fricke, one for three with two RBIs and two walks; and Karci Lockwood, one for four with four RBIs and a walk.
Holyoke 14, Wray 0
Pierce continued to do a fine job on the mound, pitching a five-inning shut-out as the Dragons claimed a 14-0 win in Game Two with Wray last week.
Pierce gave up just three hits and one walk and earned herself seven strike-outs.
Holyoke proved to be just as tough to beat in the second game of the varsity doubleheader, noted coach Clayton.
While Pierce continued to be solid on the mound for the Dragons, she had much help from the Dragon defense, who committed just two errors, according to coach Clayton.
"The Holyoke offense continued to get timely hits and showed a lot of discipline at the plate against the struggling Wray pitchers," said Clayton.
She pointed out it was a great opportunity to get J.V. girls into the game. "Anytime they can get some game experience is a plus," added the coach.
"These kids followed suit and carried a lot of discipline up to the plate," said Clayton.
Ault was two for three with a double, a home run and five RBIs to once again lead the offense. Fricke also had a good game, hitting two for two with a double and a triple, as well as three RBIs.
Additionally, Durbin was two for two; Pierce, one for one with three walks, a triple and two RBIs; Vasa, one for two with two walks; and Lockwood, one for three with one RBI.
Also getting on base by walks were Laura Gerk, Zeiler, Ashley Vance, Brooke Parker, Becca Brandt and Catrina Krueger.
Upcoming action
Holyoke hosted Yuma Tuesday, Oct. 6, with results to appear in next week's Enterprise.
This weekend, the Dragons travel Saturday, Oct. 10 for a 10:30 a.m. game at Platte Valley and a 2 p.m. game at Weld Central. Games at home against Strasburg Monday, Oct. 12 and at Burlington Tuesday, Oct. 13 round out the regular season.

I hate to admit it, but it's feels like autumn is approaching. The days are getting shorter, the temperature is dropping, and my annuals are looking rather weary.
Autumn is actually one of my favourite seasons, and since we didn't have much of a summer, I'm welcoming fall with open arms. Last night I decided it was time to give my front door planter a makeover, especially since it was looking pretty sad. The bacopa had become stringy, the shasta daisies were spent, and the potato vine was flopping around. After a few minutes the container was transformed to a cheerful fall planter filled with mums, icicle pansies and ornamental kale.

Jennifer Lopez
Jennifer Lopez "First Love" Performance Heats Up American Idol Finale (VIDEO)
Caleb Johnson may have been crowned the victor of American Idol Season 13 last night (May 21) — but Jennifer Lopez left the judges' table and took the stage, showing us all what true starpower looks like.
As the opening bars of her new song "First Love" played, we saw the 44-year-old only in silhouette, dancing in a sheer dress, which she then tore away as the spotlights came up — revealing a sequin-and-mesh blue body suit.
After performing a few minutes of the song, with plenty of hair-whipping, Jennifer exclaimed "I wanna dance!" — before flinging the mic away, shimmying down the Idol stage, and jumping up on the judges' table as a bevy of male backup dancers congregated around her.
And after the bongo-filled dance break ended, one of her backup boys handed her the mic right in time for one last utterance of "I'm still — I'm still — I'm still Jenny from the block."
"First Love" is the second single J.Lo released from her upcoming eighth studio album, A.K.A. — which is due for release on June 13.
Did you like the performance? Are you excited for the album release? Let us know your thoughts below.
American Idol Season 14 airs in 2015.

WHEELING - Wheeling Central girls' soccer coach David Cross says the team goal is to be 1-0 each after each match.
''Hopefully we have four more games of being 1-0,'' he said.
The Maroon Knights (17-2) are having one of the best seasons in school history and the march to a state championship began in convincing fashion Thursday afternoon with an 8-0 victory against Oak Glen in a West Virginia Class AA/A Region One, Section One semifinal at Wheeling Park's Field 4.

Wheeling Central goes for a sectional championship Saturday when it plays Weir, a 2-0 winner against Madonna, at 2 p.m. at Jimmy Carey Stadium in Weirton.
The Maroon Knights sure looked like a team with more on its mind as it took control early on.
Bailey Clark took a pass from Ashton Cross in the third minute and lifted it over the head of Oak Glen (10-9-1) goalkeeper Casey Highfield for a 1-0 lead.
Clark found Beth Stayduhar 42 seconds later with a one-timer that put Wheeling Central up 2-0 and started the rout.
''The girls did a real good job and the whole game there were only a few things I was unhappy with and they didn't talk to each other a few times,'' Coach Cross said. ''Everything else, they played the way we hoped they would.
''They are really excited about the postseason and they are looking to do some good things this year. I like the 8-0 wins more than 1-0 wins.''
Oak Glen, which lost 4-1 to Wheeling Central in the regular season, was able to get a few shots on goal, specifically from standout Megan Collins, a 100-goal scorer in her four-year career. But each time Maroon Knights netminder Regan Blaha was there to make the save.
Blaha finished with six stops.
''Wheeling Central is tough and we knew that coming down here because they beat us fairly easily before,'' Oak Glen coach Sam Paletta said. ''We had been playing better and we were hoping we could pull something out, but they are a good solid team.
''We gave up two early quick but there was no quit in there. It was cold out here and wet out here and they were playing as hard at the end as they were at the start. I love these girls.''
Ashton Cross scored on a header off a corner kick from Stayduhar in the 25th minute and Aspen Matlock added a goal right before halftime to go into the break up 4-0.
Matlock completed the hat trick with two goals in the second half, while Stayduhar added her second of the game and Maria Miller concluded the scoring.
Wheeling Central defeated Weir, 3-2, earlier in the season.
''Weir is physical and I think it will be a really good game,'' Coach Cross said. ''Hopefully we can be 1-0 one more time.''

|Cougars unable to upset Holyoke' winning streak
|Written by April Peregoy
Holding onto their #1 spot in the 2A state rankings, the Holyoke Dragon basketball team beat out league rivals Sedgwick County, 43-29, on Friday, Jan. 23 to remain undefeated after 11 games.
Friday's game was a highly anticipated event. The Cougars are the reigning 2008 state champs, and held the third spot in the 2A state ranks as of Friday. Adding to the tension, Holyoke barely squeezed out a win in overtime when the two teams met before Christmas break. However, that game was not a league or district one, and Friday's counted as both.
To show their support of the home team, members of the Holyoke crowd at Friday night's game were decked out in green and gold.
"It was good to see everybody in green," said coach John Baumgartner. "It was great to have the home court advantage this time, and to get so much support. It was a fun game, and the boys really appreciated it."
Right off the tip, the Dragons were on fire defensively. "It was a total team effort," said Baumgartner. "I can't give all the credit to one person; they all worked together to shut them down."
They also did well getting the Cougars into early foul trouble. Sedgwick County's strongest points-earner, Justin Tjaden, was forced to stay out of much of the action in the first half, due to three fouls he picked up in just the first quarter.
Still, the first eight minutes of play were close—probably the closest of the game. At the end, the score was tied at eight.
The Dragons began their push for control of the scoreboard in the second, with Austin Tharp leading the way. He scored nine of the team's 13 points for the quarter. The Cougars were held to only six, giving them a seven-point deficit at the halftime buzzer.
It looked like Sedgwick County was going to catch up when the teams returned for the third quarter. Tjaden came back on the court in a big way by hitting a three, followed quickly by two free throws.
Unfortunately for the Cougars, their momentum didn't last long. Ryan Baumgartner took the wind out of their sails with a three-pointer for Holyoke. Kyle Carper then added six more points on top of that to make the score 34-23 at the end of the third.
The majority of Holyoke's final baskets in the fourth quarter were made from the free throw line. Out of the seven earned by HHS, four were made by Tharp and two by Baumgartner.
Though Tjaden continued to make baskets for the Cougars, his teammates couldn't help him out, giving him all six of Sedgwick County's points in the fourth.
Tharp and Carper continued to lead the team in scoring, earning 18 and 12 respectively. The team as a whole had a shooting average of 37 percent, which was actually lower than Sedgwick County's 39 percent.
"We need to continue to work on our offense," said Baumgartner. "We had some good looks at the basket and we didn't turn the ball over very much, but there's still room for improvement there."
He added the game was actually much closer than the final score indicates. The distance, he said, is due to HHS hitting most of their free throws in the final quarter. From the line, the Dragons shot at 71 percent.
Surprisingly, the Cougars outrebounded the Dragons as well, 26-22. Carper came out on top in that category with seven rebounds.
When it came to turnovers and steals, however, HHS clearly had the upper hand. Holyoke had only six turnovers compared to Sedgwick County's 17. On top of that, the Cougars only nabbed one steal, while the Dragons snatched 10. Of those, Tharp was credited with five.

Upcoming action
According to Baumgartner, the Dragons aren't wasting any time celebrating Friday night's victory, as the team has to look forward to traveling to Akron on Friday, Jan. 30. The Rams are a notoriously tough team, but the coach seemed upbeat about the game.
"They (the Holyoke players) have been laying it all on the line the last few games. I think they're tough enough mentally, and physically they're in great shape as well."
Friday night action in Akron will begin at 4 p.m.
HHS will then host Chase County, Neb. on Saturday with games expected to start at 3 p.m.

*PLEASE NOTE: The last day for drop-in hours is Friday, May 6th. If you have a question, please feel free to schedule an appointment with a Health Professions advisor or call our office (585-276-7315).
Drop-in Hours
Mondays 10am-12pm
Wednesdays 1-4pm
Fridays 10am-12pm
What are drop-in hours?
Students are encouraged to attend drop-in hours to get answers to quick questions regarding general information or direction towards resources (web, print, etc.). If a student is just beginning to think about health professions and needs pointers on how to get started, drop-in hours are a great place to begin.
Questions about specific academic schedules, candidacy for health professions programs or questions regarding personal circumstances cannot be addressed thoroughly during Drop-in hours. For these scenarios, it is recommended to schedule an appointment with an adviser.
What We Do
Many students study as undergraduates at the University of Rochester while preparing for medical, dental, veterinary, nursing, or other health professional graduate schools. Being "pre-med" or "pre-vet" is an interest and not a program or major. It is crucial to prepare for health professions programs in a great variety of ways including, prerequisite coursework, standardized tests, involvement in health-related work experiences, involvement in research activities, community service, and engagement in extra- or co-curricular activities.
If you are interested in a career in health professions, we're here to help.
Whether you're applying to allopathic or osteopathic medical, dental, or other health professions programs, we can help you navigate the process.
We provide information on:
- Academic planning (what courses to take and when)
- Gaining clinical and research experience
- Applying to health professions programs
Applying to medical school is a major commitment. Before or during the process, be sure to ask yourself:
- What are your goals? How best can you reach those goals?
- Do you have a specific timeline you'd like to be on?
- Are you interested in research? If you don't have research experience, where do you start? If you're not interested in research, what are some other options for you?
- Are you the best candidate you can be if you were to apply to medical school today?
We can help you review your answers to these and other related questions. To contact a health professions adviser, email firstname.lastname@example.com.
HC Letter (CURRENT APPLICANTS)
If you have questions about the health committee (HC) letter that are not answered on these web pages, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com, so we can provide you efficient and correct information. HC letters will be uploaded according to the HPQ guidelines, and on-time requests are uploaded by August 15.

The quarterfinal round in FED CUP action took place this weekend with the following results in the World Group Play0ffs:
US 3, Argentina 2
France 0, Italy 5
Czech Republic 4, Spain 1
Russia 5, China 0
The biggest news coming out of this weekend's ties was "Fingergate", an incident that occurred during Flavia Pennetta's match against Amelie Mauresmo. The Italian baller became irate and flipped off Chair Umpire Louise Engzell after she overruled an in-call during the tense second set tie-break; she received a warning for her bhavior.
The overrule gave Amelie a match point but the Frenchie, who was clearly still feeling the effects of the moment, double-faulted and proceeded to lose the match 2-6, 7-6 (9), 6-4. Suffice it to say the 2-time Grand Slammer was not pleased with Flavia's behavior or Engzell's reaction to the incident:
At that moment, I didn't really see and cotton on. She gave the finger - she should have been removed right away.
There are rules and the rules need to be applied. When Zidane head butted in the World Cup final he was thrown out of the match, the same thing should have been done here.The French team submitted a complaint to the FED CUP committee but ITF Executive Vice President Juan Margets made it known they will choose whether or not to receive it, but the "chances of the score being reversed is pretty unlikely."
I'm not clear on the exact wording of the rules here so I won't speculate, but what seems obvious is Amelie should have closed out this match, regardless of the questionable decision-making by the chair. But it's not surprising - it's just an another unfortunate moment for her during a very unfortunate turn-of-events.

Is it just me or does anyone else find it weird that she described her job as "role model and global ambassador" but not tennis player? I think she's liking fashion too much.ReplyDelete
P.S. She comes off as full of herself, fakely-nice and I'm just bored. Maria it's obvious that you're a bitch, embrace it. It would make you way more interesting.
Hey give her a break (although she has had one for a while), its nice that, like some of her fellow pro tennis players, maria is doing other things..you all have to understand that her career in tennis isnt going to last forever and she needs something to fall back on. I like that fact that she is starting to learn about the business now, rather then 10 years down the road after she retires..I think that outside interests can be a negative, but also a possitive for professional atheletes..kind of like serena..if all you do is think "tennis, tennis, tennis" you are going to end up like justine henin, retired at 25!! I think Maria has come a long way since her ice queen days from when she first came out on the tour...ReplyDelete
Lisa: HA! I'd put JJ in that "ugly fashions" category too. Hands down.ReplyDelete
anon: Tell us how you really feel! Love it. No I have to say she pulls off this stuff better than some other lady ballers. But Shrieka's always seemed cold and aloof to me so none of that is particularly surprising.
Jonus: Yeah it's def important to have a post-tennis life and she's actually balanced these off-court activities relatively well. I have no worries she'll be fine in her retirement.
- SideSpinFebruary 9, 2009 at 2:48 PM
100% focus on tennis only didn't go well for the Belgians(think Justine), despite the fact that they were talented.ReplyDelete
I'm all for what Shrieka does off court.It makes her come back hungrier and makes 4 a long lasting career. The Williams sisters are pushing 30 and they're still around winning slams.And we all know how they do it. I'd like to see Shrieka do the same.
Tho i gotta say she'd always come off as an ice-queen to me.i donno maybe thts just me.
Anon 1:13: "She comes off as full of herself, fakely-nice and I'm just bored. Maria it's obvious that you're a bitch, embrace it. It would make you way more interesting."ReplyDelete
I gotta say, exactly my thoughts. I'm kinda torn though, as I really want to believe Masha is that sweet girl next door she pretends she is. But I don't honestly buy it.
She looks stunning as ever though!
I really dont think Maria tries to play the girl next door thing at all (maybe I just dont see it)to me she behaves just like a normal 21 year old. I think Ana plays up the GND thing much more. I very much doubt we will see Maria giving the camera death staresand bitching about all of her rivals any time soon. She does look gorgeous in the ET video though.ReplyDelete
BTW here are the new Sports illustrated pictures featuring Tati, Maria K and Daniela.

I can't find it now but I read an article where a journalist who interviews tennis players a lot for some TV show said Maria was her least favorite person to interview. She said Maria was cold and arrogant. Before one interview, while they were setting up the camera, the journalist said Hi to Maria and she just stared at her then when the camera start rolling she was all giggly and smiling.ReplyDelete
You can tell by her demeanor on court that her personality isn't appealing. I'm surprised she has so many endorsements because she's kind of off putting. You can sense it with the crowd too, they rarely cheer for her.
Lisa: The irony here is that type of cold, aloof personality really plays well in the kind of marketing she does. Luckily she's not selling kidswear, cooking, or trying to get puppies adopted.ReplyDelete
The tall, blonde, aloof, unattainable type persona sells sex, fashion, luxury brands very well - and these are the big money makers in this world. So, she's quite the catch in terms of their marketing.
It'll be interesting to see how this Cole Haan partnership works because it's a more mass market brand. It could be mutually beneficial: the brand could help soften her image while at the same time she could help give Cole Haan more of a cache.
We'll see.
"The tall, blonde, aloof, unattainable type persona sells sex, fashion, luxury brands very well - and these are the big money makers in this world. "ReplyDelete
I'm the total opposite so what does the world make of me? It's so unfair!

Ice Holdz Review
Climbing early-season ice is always a humbling experience. Despite dry tooling up blocks on my home woodie, I find the first ice climb of the year wakes my hibernating tool-swinging arms. This year will be different because I've been trainingon a set of Off-Belay's new Ice Holdz, bolt-mountable faux-ice features that climb surprisingly like the real thing.
Most indoor ice features are made of dense foam or are actual ice in a refrigerated gym. Ice Holdz, however, are manufactured from a rubbery compound with a plastic shell. Think chocolate-covered nougat and you get the idea. I was astounded to find that even a 1/4-inch stick held me on overhanging terrain. The feel of the ice is realistic, and your tools clean easily.
Ice Holdz come in many shapes and sizes, from small, square Splatz to monster 22-inch-long textured sheets you can peck your way up. My favorite hold was a hanging dagger that I mounted to my gym's roof. Held by two bolts, you can actually figure-4 on this plastic gob!
Ice Holdz wear out, but not very quickly. Each hold can rotate when one side gets mangled, and when the entire thing is shot you can pop out the backing and simply replace the shell. Off-Belay recycles all products, so even though their business is indoor climbing, they respect the cold winters we need to keep the real ice forming outside.

- Artificial ice holds made from a rubbery compound covered with a plastic shell.
- Realistic performance for ice tools.
- Bolts onto any standard woodie.
- 4 icicle shapes.
- 4 large features.
- Inside rubber is replaceable.

Senegal: Koranic students kept in "slave-like" conditions - Human Rights Watch

|Integrated Regional Information Networks (IRIN), Senegal: Koranic students kept in "slave-like" conditions - Human Rights Watch, 15 April 2010, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/4bceb7bac.html [accessed 31 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
DAKAR, 15 April 2010 (IRIN) - Hundreds of religious leaders running Koranic schools in Senegal are keeping their students in "slave-like" conditions, forcing them into exploitative labour through begging on the streets and depriving them of food or medicines, says US-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) in a new report.
The governments of Senegal and Guinea-Bissau, Islamic leaders and parents are failing to stop the practice and protect children from such exploitation and abuse, it says.
"As the forced begging is done with a view towards exploitation, it is a practice akin to slavery," says HRW. "For at least 50,000 children in Senegal, economic exploitation is masquerading as religious education, as children are forced to beg for long hours to benefit the teacher, and are subjected to severe physical abuse for failing to meet his quota," Matthew Wells, report author, told IRIN.
These children, who live with a 'marabout' (religious leader) and attend his school or 'daara' are known as 'talibés' in Senegal. Over half of them are under age 10 and some as young as four. They spend over seven hours each day pacing the streets to reach their quota - on average 87 US cents - and the "overwhelming majority" HRW spoke to, are regularly beaten if they do not bring back the full amount.
Some 99 percent of the 'talibés' HRW spoke to must beg for their own food and medicines.
"When I could not bring the quota, the 'marabout' beat me - even if I lacked five CFA [francs], he beat me. It was always the 'marabout' himself," a 13-year-old former 'talibé' told HRW. "He took out the electric cable and -I stood there and - he hit me over and over, generally on the back but at times he missed and hit my head."
Punishment also includes chaining and stress positions, which could constitute torture, the report said.
Each year hundreds flee the 'daara' to return home, live on the streets, or find one of a dozen rehabilitation houses run by NGOs.
Most of the children come from poor families in rural Senegal or Guinea-Bissau, who are convinced that their children face a better future under a 'marabout''s care. A minority hail from Guinea, Gambia and Mali.
According to HRW, 'marabouts' keep most of the money raised by 'talibés' and can reap significant profits: a 'marabout' in the Dakar suburb of Guédiawaye with 150 'talibés' in his 'daara' earns US$116,000 per year.
Begging is vital to the existence of a 'daara','marabouts' told HRW, to cover food, rent and other related costs.
Ousamane Diamanka, a 'marabout' in Grand Yoff, a Dakar suburb, with 20 'talibés' in his charge, told IRIN: "Some 'marabouts' exploit children and keep the money for themselves, but the majority do not - we take good care of the children, take them to hospital when they are sick, and allow them to visit their families regularly."
Improving living conditions by regulating 'daaras' and setting minimum standards for them is one way forward, says HRW. The government is currently modernizing and improving conditions in 100 of these schools. This is an improvement, Wells told IRIN, "but since the number of talibés forced to beg continues to rise, the government's action is clearly insufficient."
There is currently no official monitoring and reporting system in place for abuses in 'daaras', and only one NGO - SamuSocial - systematically reports all abuses it comes across to the authorities.
Too often, said HRW, the generosity of aid agencies, which provide medicines and materials to 'marabouts', just further inflates their profits.
Another way forward is to enforce existing laws.
Forcing children to beg for economic gain is illegal under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and the African Charter on the Rights and Welfare of the child; while trafficking children goes against anti-trafficking legislation; and Senegal's penal code criminalizes physical abuse of children.
But the authorities still do not prosecute 'marabouts' who force 'talibés' to beg, says HRW. The organization is also critical of NGOs that pushed the government to pass the 2005 anti-trafficking law, but have not denounced the government's failure to implement it, says Wells.
Martin Dawes, spokesperson for the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF), told IRIN: "As an agency we advocate on a regular basis with governments, and are working to improve child protection systems. Abuse of children is against the law. We welcome this report and renew our call to the relevant authorities to protect children and respect their rights."
Failure to enforce the law emboldens child traffickers and 'marabouts', said HRW, and caused the number of 'daaras' to double between 2002 and 2009, according an official in the Ministry of Family.
Politicians are often too intimidated by the significant social, political and economic power of 'marabouts', to crack down on them.
"If you touch any of the 'marabouts', you touch the brotherhoods, and that is very difficult here. You lose votes; maybe you lose office; and you face trouble," said an official in the Family Ministry.
However, a number of religious leaders and prominent Islamic scholars in Senegal would be allied with the government in stopping enforced begging, said Wells. "The government could more proactively reach out to these leaders to ensure regulation and accountability are not interpreted as a threat to Koranic education, but merely to those who corrupt it."

Stanford, CA (Sports Network) - Ian Clark scored 15 points as the Belmont
Bruins knocked off the Stanford Cardinal 70-62 at Maples Pavilion.
Kerron Johnson added 14 points, Blake Jenkins put in 11 and Trevor Noack
tacked on 10 for Belmont (3-0) which remains unbeaten.

chipped in 10 on just 1-of-11 shooting. Josh Huestis pulled down a game-high
14 rebounds.
Belmont led 33-25 at halftime after holding Stanford to just 9-of-29 shooting
including misses on all eight 3-point attempts. Belmont meanwhile hit on 14-

outscored the Cardinal 18-9 over the final six minutes while hitting 6-of-8
free throws in the final minute to earn the win.
Stanford lost despite owning a 48-39 edge on the boards. Belmont outscored
Stanford 18-6 from beyond the arc. Stanford missed its first 12 shots from
3-point range and finished 2-of-19 from distance overall.

Let me begin by saying:
I do **not** have an iPhone, iCal, or i-anything. Nor do I own an Apple Computer Conpany product, so please keep in mind all the i-whatever related posts are of no use to me.
My issue:
I am using Evolution (version 2.28.3) and have no clue *how* to set up remote CardDAV access. So to ask the questions that are NOT in the documentation...
1) Does the Open Source edition of Zimbra support standard CardDAV for contacts? Once again, I an not talking about any apple-specific features here - just plain ol CardDAV.
2) If the OSS version DOES support the ability to use a generic CardDAV client to access contacts - whats the URL? My actual URL is "https://mail.uppercumberlandit.com". I read somewhere the URL syntax is *supposed* to be http://mail.uppercumberlandit.com/dav/username/Contacts (in the case of contacts).
3) If 1 and 2 are a "go", whats the username - "user" or "email@example.com"? Furthermore, is the "c" in contacts on that url lowercase or uppercase? I have seen posts mention BOTH.
If all the info I have so far is correct, why does Evolution gimme an 'unable to perform search' error?
While we are at it, whats the official URL to access the CalDAV interface?
I read this particular post:
...but this user evidently already had the correct info to use.
p.s.. am I supposed to use the same url/port as the webmail interface? Or does Zimbra use a dedicated port (besides 443 or 80) for CardDAV and CalDAV.
Once again: I am NOT talking about any proprietary iCal/Outlook/etc syncing here - just plain 'ol CardDAV and Evolution.

(The Cardinal Nation Show) -- After their controversial 6-3 win over Atlanta in the first wild-card playoff game, the Cardinals will begin play in the Division Series at home Sunday against the Washington Nationals, against whom they took two of three at Busch Stadium in the final 10 days of the season.
Though manager Mike Matheny made no official announcement after Friday's game, right-hander Adam Wainwright said he had been told earlier that he would be starting Sunday's game.
Wainwright has had two disparate outings against the Nationals this season, He beat them 12-2 on Sept. 28, allowing one run in six innings to gain his 14th victory.
But, on Aug. 31, Wainwright had his worst game, giving up nine hits and six earned runs in 2 2/3 innings against Washington.
Left-hander Jaime Garcia, who has won his last three decisions, likely will draw Monday afternoon's start. Veteran right-hander Chris Carpenter, who has made a startling comeback from nerve surgery in July, probably will get the Game 3 start in Washington on Wednesday. Carpenter has pitched well, for the most part, in his first three starts although the Cardinals didn't win any of them.
Right-hander Kyle Lohse, who started and won the wild-card playoff game on Friday, would be in line for Game 4 and Wainwright for the fifth game. The final three would be played in Washington.
This means that right-hander Lance Lynn, moved to the bullpen for the wild-card game even though he won 18 games during the season, is expected to be in the bullpen again for the Division Series.

Healing the gaping wound that Sandy left
(Page 3 of 3)
There are times to stand by your political principles, to refuse to compromise. This is not one of them. Too many people –– hard-working, tax-paying, freedom-loving Americans –– have been hurt. There is a gaping wound down the center of the tristate area that must be healed for our nation to be whole again. Congress can begin that long, arduous process by approving the president's aid package.
If only, I thought, our congressional leaders could experience the sense of fear that one Long Beach homeowner felt last Friday. Then, perhaps, partisan bickering might fall by the wayside, and their decision-making might be guided not by political self-interest, but rather by the humanity that lies hidden inside them.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KSDK) - A University of Missouri researcher says it may take two years before Midwest crops and soil to recover from the drought.
Randall Miles, associate professor of soil science at the MU School of Natural Resources says dry soil can be found as deep as five feet. This is where the roots of crops receive moisture and nutrients.
Some roots had to go down as much as eight feet to find water last year, according to Miles. He is testing depths of soils moisture around the state and found areas that received extra rain from Hurricane Isaac were wet in the first few inches but dry below that level.
"In order for the soil moisture to return to a normal state this year, the rain and snow would almost have to come continuously," Miles said. "The weather would almost have to be like the precipitation found in London, coming down light and slowly to minimize runoff."
Miles believes farmers may not be able to grow bumper crops for another two to three years.

The new day tank fits entirely into an existing access hole in the bottom of the cockpit. Nuts were welded to the underside of the steel cockpit bottom to bolt the tank to, and here the paint is being ground off in preparation for welding the nuts in.

The "day tank" is a fuel tank that supplies the engine for a while (not really a day in this case), and is refueled from other tanks in the boat. The day tank simplifies switching between fuel tanks, and can be used to help separate out water and dirt in the fuel (being heavier, they sink to the bottom and can be removed if there is a drain at the bottom of the tank).
The old day tank was a cylindrical plastic affair, with fittings Sikaflexed (Sikaflex is a brand of glues and sealants) into it. It had been leaking, and the Sikaflex used to repair it was getting into the fuel and starting to clog the fuel filters.
I wanted a bigger day tank (the old one was only good for about three hours of motoring) that didn't leak and would help separate out the water and dirt from the fuel. This is the new day tank, made of stainless steel, much bigger, minus the fittings, which were installed after the tank was installed. The new tank is built to fit into an existing cutout in the cockpit floor.

There are a number of jobs going on at once on Issuma, and the pilothouse is now a mass of disarray.
The new GPS is a Furuno. The manual indicates there are data averaging settings that will will allow it to display believable courses and speeds like the old one did (unlike Garmins which never seem to do so correctly).
Sun Jan 25 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The pulleys that are used by the winch to raise and lower the keel were badly corroded. The wire kept slipping off one of them, and two others were seized up and would not turn. All were replaced with new stainless steel pulleys with more grease nipples to make maintaining them easier.
Mon Jan 19 0:00:00 EST 2009, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The boatwork continues to progress on Issuma. The other night we went to see a really good band from northern Argentina, La Bomba del Tiempo. The band played outside on a hot summer night, and the crowd loved the band. The girl in the picture is one of several people who were being passed around through the crowd.
Sun Jan 18 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
The old antifouling (paint that is put on the bottom of a boat to discourage barnacles from attaching themselves to the hull) was sanded off, the underlying paint inspected, and epoxy paint then put on. The purpose of the epoxy paint is to electrically insulate the steel hull (which is actually coated with zinc in this case) from the copper that is in the antifouling paint.
The first attempt at putting the epoxy on didn't go well, as it was not mixed well enough (it comes in two components, that must be mixed together correctly) before painting. Epoxy that is mixed incompletely or incorrectly results in paint that will never "dry" (cure). The following day, the incorrectly mixed paint was laboriously removed so the painting could be started again.
The first coat of epoxy is on. The zebra look is from running out of white and substituting black (the next coat will be entirely black).
Sat Jan 10 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
Metal boats have pieces of zinc alloy (anodes) attached to them to protect different metals from electrochemically reacting (corroding) to each other when in water. The zinc anodes wear away (the zinc slowly migrates to other metals, such as the bronze propeller) and eventually need to be replaced. All the zinc anodes are being replaced on Issuma while she is hauled out.
In the picture, the new zinc anode is being welded to the hull. Unfortunately the welding of some of the zincs was done too quickly and the heat that built up burned off the paint inside the boat, which we now need to scrape off and repaint (steel boats rust if they are not painted, and rust inside, where you don't see it, must be avoided). But the hull will be well-protected now, and shouldn't need the zincs replaced again for several years.
Fri Jan 9 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
To sand the hull and put new bottom paint on, the blocks that keep the boat upright need to be moved. Here, Senor Martinez, the yard foreman is hammering in a wedge after moving the block.
Thu Jan 8 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
A new main rudder was built of stainless steel. It has been painted with primer (epoxy paint), and will later be painted over (with antifouling paint) and be the same color as the rest of the bottom of the hull. In the picture, the new rudder is about to be raised into place.
Wed Jan 7 0:00:00 EST 2009, San Fernando, Buenos Aires, Argentina
After removal, we were able to have a good look at the main rudder. It was built of plywood, covered by aluminum, attached to a stainless steel shaft, with an aluminum bearing fitted over it. The plywood is visible at the top of the rudder blade.

A record 201 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) participated in the Olympic Games. The overall tally for events on the programme was 301 (one more than at the Sydney Games in 2000).
Popularity in the Games also soared, as 3.9 billion people had access to the television coverage compared to 3.6 billion for Sydney. This global audience enjoyed coverage of never-before seen sports such as women's wrestling, which was included in the programme for the first time.
Swimmer Michael Phelps won six gold medals and set a single-Games record with eight total medals. Leontien Ziljaard-van Moorsel became the first female cyclist to earn four career gold medals, reaching a total of six Olympic medals, while canoeist Birgit Fischer became the first athlete in any sport to win two medals in each of five Olympic Games.
Runner Hicham El Guerrouj won both the 1500m and the 5000m, while on the women's side Kelly Holmes triumphed in both the 800m and the 1500m. In team play, Argentina won the men's football tournament without conceding a goal, and the US softball team outscored their opponents by an aggregate score of 51-1.

Kiribati and Timor Leste entered teams for the first time, although athletes from Timor had competed at the Sydney Olympics as individual Olympic athletes.
Despite continuing warfare back home, the football team from Iraq qualified for the Olympic tournament and made it to the semifinals.
Double trap shooter Ahmed Almaktoum won the first gold medal for the United Arab Emirates.
Weightlifter Pawina Thongsuk became the first woman from Thailand to earn a gold medal when she won the 75kg category.
In the men's 81kg category, Ilias Iliadis won Greece's first-ever gold medal in judo.
Chile and China earned their first medals in tennis as Nicolas Massu and Fernando González (on picture) won the men's doubles championship and Massu also won singles, while Ting Li and Tian Tian Sun took the women's doubles title.
In fencing, women's sabre made its debut with Mariel Zagunis of the United States earning the gold medal. It was the first U.S. victory in fencing. Switzerland also claimed its first fencing gold when Marcel Fischer won the men's individual épée.
Thomas Bimis and Nikolaos Siranidis captured Greece's first medal in diving with an unexpected victory in synchronized springboard.
201 National Olympic Committees marched in the Parade of Nations at the Opening Ceremony. Traditionally Greece leads the parade and the host team goes last. Because Greece was the host, they occupied both positions, as weightlifter Pyrros Dimas opened the parade and the rest of the Greek athletes entered at the end.
Kenyans runners swept the medals in the 3,000m steeplechase with Ezekiel Kemboi taking the gold, Brimin Kipruto the silver and Paul K. Koech the bronze.
The marathon races followed the same route as the 1896 race, beginning in Marathon and ending in Athens' Panathenaic Stadium. Vanderlei de Lima of Brazil (on picture) was in the lead of the men's race with less than 7 kilometres to go when a disturbed man pushed him off the course. De Lima held on to earn the bronze medal and was awarded the Pierre de Coubertin Medal in recognition of his Olympic spirit.
The shot put events were held in Olympia, the site of the ancient Olympic Games.
The archery competitions were staged in the same Panathenaic Stadium that was used for the 1896 Olympics.
Women's wrestling made its debut with competition in four weight categories. Japanese women earned medals in every division, while France and the United States won two medals each. The first gold medal went to Ukraine's Irini Merlini, who dominated her first 4 opponents in the 48kg category and then won the final on a tiebreaker.

The main feature of the medals is the Greek character shown on both sides, since their basic side has been changed for the first time since the Amsterdam Olympic Games in 1928. This is of particular importance, as from now on all Olympic medals will reflect the Greek character of the Games as regards both their origin and their revival. On the medals awarded to Olympic athletes from 1928 until the Sydney Games, goddess Nike was seated, holding an ear of corn in one hand and a wreath in the other. Here, she flies into the stadium bringing victory to the best athlete. The Organising Committee has chosen to show the Panathenic stadium, where the Games were first renewed in 1896. On the obverse, the athlete's discipline is also engraved. The reverse side of the medal is composed of three elements: The eternal flame that was lit in Olympia and travelled through the five continents by way of the 2004 Torch Relay; the opening lines of Pindar's Eighth Olympic Ode composed in 460 BC to honour the victory of Alkimedon of Aegina in wrestling and the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Games emblem. The design of the Medal was created by Elena Votsi.

Hi all, it's been a while (except for you who follow me on Twitter), things have been silent on here while I was working on the new Amsterdamize platform, getting it all ready for 2012, for a new adventure. As things go, that will take a wee bit more time. So bear with me :). I also have to put it on hold because I'm in the middle of packing, as I'll be heading for Melbourne on Sunday and it won't surprise you when I say I'm really looking forward to it. 2011 granted me plenty of exciting endeavors, taking me to New York, Copenhagen, Reykjavik and on a few continental trips.

Dutch Cycling Embassy launch, Brussels
Bike buddies, Brussels
But Australia is the icing on the cake. It will be the first time in my life. It had to happen at some point, as my older brother has been living there for years now. It will be a 30 hour journey with a few layovers. First London, but time won't allow me to go search for Little Britain on wheels.
Not to worry, I sense I will in the foreseeable future. Then Singapore. Again, the window of opportunity is too small to be able to explore.
Touchdown in Melbourne. From the airport I'll be transported directly to the mountains a few hours from the city, where I'll spend a relaxing week with my family & experience New Year's Eve in the wilderness. Right after that the second leg kicks off: returning to Melbourne, meeting up and riding with my bike friends in Melbourne and elsewhere. Also, on Jan 4th at 5:05pm local Melbourne time I'll be on Radio New Zealand, the national public service radio station. I'll be interviewed about Dutch bike culture in general & New Zealands' efforts. From the preparations for it, I can tell you this could be interesting. So if you have time, do tune in (on the website) and let me know what you think.I leave behind a wet, windy & dark Amsterdam, diving right into a pool of summer fun. I know what you're thinking: "There's a helmet law there! Waddaya gonna do?" Maybe this outfit would be a tad too warm & inconvenient to pull off, but I like the idea. I'm sure I can think of something to circumvent the issue...
So, I hope y'all have a wonderful xmas, a NYE blast and I also hope to see you back here in 2012. BikePLANET-wise, it's only just begun.

Hi, I have searched for awhile and don't feel like I've seen the answer for sure, but I'm hoping I'm not asking a stupid question.
We have ZCS 5.0.18 and ZCB 5.0.18 at the moment, and are planning to upgrade the mail servers to ZCS 6.0.3 in January. We have a test server, but I can't really test the Blackberry server ahead of time, so I'm just looking for confirmation/assurance that this transition should go smoothly on the Blackberry end. Has anyone done this? Any roadbumps to report?
As far as I can tell, ZCB 5.0.19 is the latest available, period, and I'm wondering if I should upgrade the ZCB from 5.0.18 to 5.0.19 BEFORE the ZCS upgrade, or at roughly the same time, i.e., just after the ZCS upgrade has proven to work fine?
Any input is appreciated, thank you in advance!

Iraqi Leaders Call On U.S. To Set Timetable
On June 28, 2005, President Bush explained why we can't set a timetable for withdrawal. According to Bush, it would send the wrong message to Iraqis:
Some contend that we should set a deadline for withdrawing U.S. forces. Let me explain why that would be a serious mistake. Setting an artificial timetable would send the wrong message to the Iraqis, who need to know that America will not leave before the job is done.
Now, in an unusual show of unity, the Iraqis sent a message to President Bush:
Leaders of Iraq's sharply divided Shiites, Kurds and Sunnis called Monday for a timetable for the withdrawal of U.S.-led forces in the country and said Iraq's opposition had a "legitimate right" of resistance.
Looks like President Bush needs a new excuse. Much more on this story at AmericaBlog.
UPDATE: From the Washington Post, 5/15/04:
Secretary of State Colin Powell emphatically said yesterday that if the incoming Iraqi interim government ordered the departure of foreign troops after June 30, they would pack up without protest, but emphasized he doubted such a request would be made.
… "If the provisional government asks us to leave, we will leave," Bremer said, referring to an Iraqi administration due to take power June 30. "I don't think that will happen, but obviously we don't stay in countries where we're not welcome."

I would like to try Zimbra, I am the official guinea pig at our company, but the available hosted offerings do not fit the bill, makes it hard to migrate from Exchange.
I found one hosting partner in the list that offers a single account with mobile sync, with a free trial. I signed up for the trial, but it apparently included all of the hosting company's other products except their re-branded Zimbra. Not a good way to start a product evaluation.
1. Hosted Zimbra that does not require MX changes or DNS juggling to simply check out the product. We forwarded individual pop3 mail, on a case by case basis, to our current hosted Exchange server for 4 months before we made the mx changes. We tested and started migration on the host's subdomain, and made the mx changes when we were ready for 100% commitment.
2. Hosted Zimbra that allows a single account, rather than a minimum of 3 to 5.
Zimbra demos look great, hopefully I missed a hosted option that will let us see if we want to get into the game.

Q: We are involved in a dispute on the quality of a decorative slab for which we supplied concrete last fall. The project appears to be fine, but one set of test cylinders failed to meet compressive strength requirements.
The slab is located in a high-profile setting. The owner's testing lab wants to take test cores from the slab to verify compressive strength. The owner has refused, saying that the large holes would ruin the work's artistic look. He is asking for a complete tear-out and replacement, at our cost.
We've been looking for other ideas. One suggestion that may be acceptable to us is to take cores using smaller diameter bits. What minimum diameter core bit is acceptable for projects like this, and what are the scientific implications?
A: ASTM C 42-90, "Standard Specification for Obtaining and Testing Drilled Cores and Sawed Beams of Concrete," provides some guidance. According to the document, core specimen diameters taken to determine compressive strength in loadbearing structures shall be at least 3.7 inches.
For non-load-bearing structural members, the engineer may allow using a smaller diameter core specimen. But there's a risk. Research performed by F. M. Barlett and J.G. Mac-Gregor in the early 1990s indicated that smaller diameter cores appear to be more sensitive to the effect of the length-diameter (l/d) ratio.
That's because it is difficult to determine an accurate compressive strength on a core specimen that is taller than it is wide. Thus, the ASTM document notes that the compressive strength of nominal 2-inch cores is known to be somewhat lower and more variable than those of nominal 4-inch specimens.
Should you wish to use a smaller diameter, the document notes that the preferred minimum core diameter is three times the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate. But it also states that the core specimen diameter should be at least two times the nominal maximum size of the coarse aggregate. Since most residential flatwork mixes now use a ¾-inch top size aggregate, you might suggest to the engineer to use a 2¼-inch-diameter core specimen.
The next step is to determine whether you'll need to adjust the compressive strength test result from the core. If the ratio of the specimen's length to diameter is 1¾ inches or less, you'll have to apply a correction factor.
For example, if the slab was poured to a 4-inch nominal thickness, the l/d ratio using a 2¼-inch core would be 1.77, and thus not subject to a correction. If the slab was 3½ inches thick, the l/d ratio is 1.5. In this instance, the ASTM document calls for a 0.96 correction factor.
Aside from the cosmetic reasons stated in your question, there has been renewed interest in studying the effect of smaller diameter cores. There have been several studies performed recently. Generally, as the diameter of the core specimen decreases, the volume of the specimen decreases significantly for a given l/d.
