Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration��Singles $0.00
At this point, you've probably heard the hype surrounding Osmo Nutrition, and perhaps you've even rolled your eyes at the prospect of yet another sports hydration mix. However, if you've done the latter, you're about to learn why the Osmo Nutrition Active Hydration Singles are a revolution to sports hydration.
To fully comprehend the power of Osmo Active Hydration, we need to dispel the haze surrounding the current hydration ideology. Essentially, you'll find that most sports hydration mixes feature a high carbohydrate level, with the prevailing intention of having you drink your calories during exercise. However, as Osmo's peer-reviewed and empirically-proven testing shows, this is not only incorrect and ineffective, but it's actually minimizing your power output and effectively dehydrating you. This assertion cuts right to the core of Osmo's founding hypothesis and namesake -- the importance of osmolality and the types of sugars used in a beverage.
So, what is osmolality? Basically, it's the amount of solutes within a solution, and for the purposes of hydration, we view the blood plasma and the drink itself as solutions. Blood's osmolality sits around 280 to 295 mOsm, while Active Hydration is around 265-270 mOsm. Now, let's get into why this important. Osmo works by looking at how actual physiology works. Around 95% of water absorption occurs at the small intestines. And what facilitates this absorption into the body is a combination of sodium, glucose, and sucrose -- all in small amounts. combining specific sugars and sodiums with water in order to accelerate fluid absorption. But, whereas most industry mixes maintain too high a ratio of sugars to sodium, effectively slowing down absorption, Osmo's proprietary ratio actually accelerates fluid absorption with the three components maintaining a 3.2% solution. Through extensive research, Osmo discovered that fluids that have an osmolality greater than 290 mOsm, and are comprised of fructose, maltodextrin, and sucrose, create a solution that actually inhibits water absorption and hydration potential. As a result of this optimal range, Active Hydration removes the common, unwanted side effects found in typical hydration mixes. That's right, we're talking about the sloshing, bloating, and other gastrointestinal distresses that arise from not being able to properly absorb fluid.
Now, if you feel like your current hydration mix is effective, we're going to drop some knowledge on you. The body works on a system of checks and balances, with one of the most vital being the fluctuation of body temperature. This shift in temperature is the result of the heat output from working muscles, and to keep you from boiling from the inside out, the body regulates your core temperature by moving blood plasma to the skin. From there, heat is offloaded through the process of vasodilation (the dilation of blood vessels that decreases blood pressure) and evaporative cooling -- better known as sweating. Now, while this preventative system is highly effective, it's completely dependent on your ability to continually replenish the body with the water needed for plasma volume and perspiration. This should be putting the aforementioned in perspective. When your mix's osmolality is blocking water absorption, your body starts to shut down on itself and overheat. And not surprisingly, many blame this feeling of 'bonking' on a lack of caloric intake instead of properly placing the blame on dehydration. This where the founding Osmo ethos reigns true -- you're not bonking, you're dehydrated.
Interestingly enough, many don't recognize the effects of dehydration, and this is due to a problematic side effect called cardiac drift. This is where the heart rate remains high, but power output drops off dramatically. So, if you're only in-tune with your HRM readings, you'll feel a natural level of exertion while your power is actually decreasing. By optimizing fluid intake and hydration, the Active Hydration formula increases thermo-regulation of your core temperature, reduces cramping, and actually increases your power output. We understand that this sounds too good to be true, so we'll provide an explanation on how this occurs.
We mentioned earlier the importance of Active's sugar-to-sodium ratio and how it works with the body's natural physiology in order to maximize water absorption. However, what we didn't say is how difficult this was to achieve. Osmo was forced to be highly selective in its ingredients, and accordingly, its sugar value is the result of a proprietary ratio of glucose to sucrose. Additionally, Active makes use of sodium citrate over plain ol' salt. Sodium citrate does two things. First, the sodium works with water in order to enhance water absorption. Secondly, the citrate works in aerobic metabolism to keep the krebs cycling bolstered while its total sodium level also balances Active's electrolyte profile -- a vital component commonly depleted through sweating. Through this balance, Active staves off cramping and promotes cellular respiration, or aerobic metabolism. So, with extra circulating citrate, there's more essential substance available for enzyme activity, and thus, there's a greater cofactor available to keep aerobic metabolism high and effective. This means that your cells are uninhibited in their ability to convert nutrients into biochemical energy, and eventually, release them into waste.
As a result, the body functions in harmony and your core temperature is regulated. This is of the highest importance in regards to race results. You see, once your body temperature rises above 102 degrees Fahrenheit, the body's systems start to become compromised. Accordingly, once you get your first inkling of thirst, you're already experiencing a 2% total body water loss, which in more applicable terms, translates directly to around an 11% decrease in top end power. However, with all of the aforementioned benefits of Active's sugar ratios, sodium profile, and dialed-in osmolality, testing has actually proven that you can expect an increased power output of anywhere from 2 to 20%. In fact, a recent test showed an average differential of around 38 watts when compared to high-carb sports mix. Think about that, Active provides nearly twice the watt conservation than the most aerodynamic wheels on earth.
Not only does Active Hydration bolster your output, but it's also comprised of high-quality, natural, and organic ingredients. So, not only are you assured that what you're drinking is healthy, but more importantly, you won't experience the flavor fatigue that's all-too-common with the majority of hydration mixes. This means that every sip from the bottle will feel new, tasteful, and refreshing.

Timely Projects
Are you looking for a quick and easy project that you can complete in a weekend?
Do you need to make a gift for someone but have no clue what to make?
Here is your chance to make a one-of-a-kind project or gift that requires only a few tools and can be enjoyable for woodworkers of all skill levels.
What could this project be?
Clock making of course!
Clocks make great gifts and can be as simple or as complicated as you want them to be. With today's broad selection of movements, hands, faces, and wood species, clock making allows your creativity to shine and show people what you can do.
I started making clocks when I was a child. I would go to the local woodworking supply store with my father or grandfather and inevitably end up in the clock parts section. I was always fascinated by the mechanics of clocks. I can remember getting a simple quartz movement and going home to search through the scrap wood pile to find a leftover piece of unique looking wood. Sometimes I would get lucky and find a nice burled piece.
With just a little cutting, sanding and finishing, I had the perfect backdrop to insert my quartz movement into. Then I would quickly assemble my clock and show it off to the family. I still see many of my simple clock creations to this day when I visit with my family.
So, moral of the story is: Be creative and the next time you need a unique gift or you are looking for a simple and unique project to occupy your time, build a clock. They can be great fun!

Comments about Sterling by Music Man RAY35 5-String Electric Bass Guitar:
They are built very well and the sound is true to a US made Stingrays or Sterlings. I like the feel of the neck and the 6 bolt construction is very sturdy. The EQ is effective and sounds good; true sizzle on the treble. I got the natural Ray 35 with the 3 way switch is a nice touch for a few extra tones. The only con is I find it a bit heavy.

Zimbra Desktop claims to have seen my skin's name, and applied it, but it keeps rendering the old skin (the skin I copied to create my own). Is there some cache I need to update to make Zimbra Desktop realize there's new content in the skin folder?

Ned Yost media session: April 20
Heading into Wednesday's 7:10 contest against the Cleveland Indians, Royals manager Ned Yost was still raving about the outfield play of Alex Gordon. In Tuesday's 5-4 victory over the Tribe, Gordon made an outstanding diving catch in the 9th inning and also threw out a runner at the plate to end the 7th frame.
Yost said he was impressed with Gordon's transition from third base to left field last season and likened the conversion to that of All-Star Ryan Braun, who went through the same process while Yost was manager of the Milwaukee Brewers.
"You knew that [Gordon] had enough speed and athleticism to roam left field," Yost said. "It was just a matter of getting repetitions in the outfield and getting used to catching fly balls at all the angles."
The skipper explained that Gordon has developed a great habit by chasing after fly balls at game speed during the first two rounds of batting practice each day.
Another defensive standout for the Royals this season has been shortstop Alcides Escobar, who was acquired in an offseason trade. Escobar has shown exceptional range and arm strength while consistently taking hits away from opponents with highlight-reel plays.
"He has so much athleticism that he continues to make great plays look routine," Yost said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (WUSA) - The taxicab companies behind the cabs that didn't pick up a black passenger during a WUSA9 test say the DC Taxi Commission, not them, is responsible for enforcing regulations to carry all passengers.
Click here to see the full 9 Wants to Know investigation into DC cabs.
Click here for five tips to get cabs to take you home.
WUSA9 cameras recorded cabs from Travelers, Riteway, Premium, Dial, Federal, and Lincoln either refusing service directly or driving by our black staffer without stopping.
Only Riteway and Premium cabs returned calls for comment, so Friday, we knocked on doors at the cab headquarters of Dial, Federal, Lincoln, and Travelers.
Cabby managers said most drivers own their own cabs or have rental agreements to operate independently with little control from the cab companies.
Although they acknowledged they could pull the cab's agreement to use the company brand, they said the driver would just repaint his taxi and start work under a different company name.
Repeatedly, the companies pointed their fingers at the DC Taxi Commission as the only way to enforce cab regulations to pick up passengers, regardless of their race or destination.
"We tell all the drivers, you can't discriminate," said Riteway Cab owner Shaw Qureshi, who was one of two cab company managers to respond to our original request. "They know, but they take chances."
The DC Taxi Commission released a statement urging mistreated customers to call a 24-hour service number to handle complaints. You can reach the hotline by calling 855-484-4966 and selecting option one.

Kreeger Pottery: Contemporary Porcelain for Living
Store Profile
- Location: Austin, TX and online
- Specialty: Handmade, modern porcelain designs for home and kitchen.
- Price range: ($$) Mid-Range
- Website: kreegerpottery.com
Store History
- Founded by: Keith Kreeger
- Headquarters: Austin, Texas
The summer after interning on Capitol Hill, I was a young American Studies major at Skidmore College and had decided to take an extra class during the summer in order to enjoy the bounty of Saratoga Springs. I swiftly traded my suits & blazers from the previous summer for jeans & t-shirts that would be covered in clay from then on. Spending every available hour making pots in the studio I occasionally missed an American Studies deadline or two but I did still graduate with a BA in American Studies. I also picked up a minor in ceramics and a passion for clay that has never ceased After 12 years of owning a contemporary craft gallery on Cape Cod, I now live in Austin, TX with my wife and 3 children. I'm honored to be one of the five hosts of the nationally recognized Art of the Pot Studio Tour. In my home, mornings begin with a cabinet full of memories. Each mug I have to choose from has it's own story. I'm reminded of a mentor, a friend, Massachusetts, or an artist I dream of one day meeting. I love watching our guests open that same cabinet as each cup is carefully studied. It's not long before a friend finds the one that speaks to them. I make pottery because I think the objects we use on a daily basis are as important as what they hold. I think that a meal with friends that you've spent hours preparing calls for dinnerware crafted with the same care. I think flowers picked fresh from your garden look better in a vase you've picked as well. I think you deserve to know the maker of the objects you use every day.
We came across Keith Kreeger's studio and showroom while on Austin's annual East Austin Studio Tour, and while we saw plenty of amazing art pieces and beautiful designs, there was something that really spoke to us about Keith's work. If you've been looking for some lovely and meaningful pieces to add to your collection or give as gifts, we recommend a peek at Kreeger Pottery.
There are a couple of lines in Keith's "about me" section on his website that we liked a lot: "I think that a meal with friends that you've spent hours preparing calls for dinnerware crafted with the same care. I think flowers picked fresh from your garden look better in a vase you've picked as well. I think you deserve to know the maker of the objects you use every day."
He makes a good point. We love how clean and simple his pieces are, but with definite modern shapes and a fresh look. Color palettes are neutral and soft, and we love those plates and platters with the deep, gray-blue color. Designs and patterns are minimal, but the ones he does use are powerful. And he's just finished working on some prototypes of a lighting line which we are pretty in love with.
After having a gallery in Cape Cod for twelve years, he moved with his family to Austin, where he's set up a nice studio with a showroom that's available to look at by appointment. He also participates in plenty of local fairs and festivals like E.A.S.T., The Armadillo Christmas Bazaar, Art of the Pot and more. Browse and purchase his designs from his online store (and enjoy free shipping now until December 15th!).

Janice Carenbauer sees dozens of patients walk into Wheeling Health Right with the same problem - without a car or without money for gas, a large number of sick patients are waiting at bus stops or walking to the clinic without hats, gloves or sometimes even coats to keep them warm from winter's biting chill.
That is why the board of deacons of Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church collected more than 200 hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for all ages and sizes to hand out to any person or family who walks in and looks cold.
Carenbauer, Health Right's front office manager, cited a patient who lives eight block away from the center whose only mode of transportation is a bicycle he rides even in cold weather.

Photo by Sarah Harmon
Karen DiOrio, from left, Lynne Exley and Janice Carenbauer sort more than 200 hats, mittens and scarves donated by Vance Memorial Presbyterian Church to be given out to the patients of Wheeling Health Right who are suffering from the cold weather.
"These are patients who get up every morning, get their kids to school and work full-time jobs or part-time jobs, whatever they can find," Carenbauer said. "They are not offered insurance, or it is so expensive they can't afford it. There's a working poor, and they have children. If they have extra money, they buy shampoo. They don't have money for luxuries such as a scarf."
Keeping people warm while they are traveling to the clinic is especially important since most of the patients have serious health problems such as diabetes, heart conditions or mental health issues and need to see a doctor to get their medicine. Making sure they get to their appointments, Carenbauer said, is the first step to ensuring their health.
Carenbauer said there are days when Health Right sees 60-80 patients, including plenty of walk-ins during flu season. The patients' need for warm clothing is so great, she predicted the donated items will be gone within two weeks.
Lynne Exley, a member of Vance church, said it is the church's second year donating to Health Right and the response from last year was so enthusiastic, members decided to do the project again for this year.
"It's a simple gesture of trying to help our neighbors," Exley said. "We wanted something that would have an immediate impact on our community. That's why the church rallied for patients to have a safe and warm New Year's."

Full SubmissionProposal WEC UA 31.10.11-1 for zero draft of the outcome document of Earth Summit Rio+20 Division for Sustainable Development UNCSD Secretariat UN-DESA, DC2-2212, 2 UN Plaza, New York, NY 10017, USA Dear Colleagues! NGO International Institute-Association of Regional Ecological Problems (IIAREP) proposes to include into the zero draft of the outcome document of the Earth Summit "Rio+20" the following provision: Transform UNEP into a fully-fledged UN Agency named World Environmental Organization (WEO) and simultaneously initiate the process of elaborating the World Environmental Constitution (WEC) as the only way of reaching the required Efficiency of the WEO and as a legal framework for the transition to ?green? economy. The proposal concerns the strengthening of integration of the three pillars of sustainable development (environment, economy and social aspect) at international level. Arguments for the proposal in brief The discussion on establishing the World Environmental Organization (WEO) and the beginning of the process of creation of the World Environmental Constitution (WEC) in their indissoluble unity would add an enhanced integrity and deeper understanding of the three pillars of sustainable development at Rio+20 Summit and will make the work of the Summit more constructive. In prospect, Rio+20 decisions on WEO and WEC would provide for: institutionalization of proposals and ideas for dealing with problems of climate change, prevention of other global environmental threats and problems of transition to "green" economy in the wake of relevant initiatives and declarations made by world politicians during the 20 years after the "Rio-92"; creation of a permanent effective mechanism for a global dialogue of all interested parties, for reducing the conflict of interests between the South and the North and for the elaboration of a universal legal framework to achieve the goals of sustainable development, relying, among other things, upon a huge array of over 500 treaties and conventions concerning the environment, which are currently valid but ineffective. Yours sincerely Yuriy Tunytsya Executive Director, Dr., Professor

Wyoming's state health officer is encouraging state residents who have diabetes or who at risk of the disease to recognize how important lifestyle changes such as healthy eating and active living can be for good health.
According to the Wyoming Department of Health (WDH), diabetes affects nearly 26 million Americans with an estimated 79 million additional people at risk for developing the disease. In 2012, 9.1 percent of Wyoming adults reported having been told they have diabetes, which translates to roughly 40,000 people.
"For people living with diabetes or who are at risk for developing Type 2 diabetes, small, but important steps can have a huge impact on both short- and long-term health, said Dr. Wendy Braund, state health officer and Public Health Division senior administrator with WDH. "Losing just 5-7 percent of your weight can significantly lower your risk of developing diabetes and can help those with the disease avoid serious complications. For a person who weighs 200 pounds, that's just 10-14 pounds."
Braund said uncontrolled diabetes can result in medical difficulties such as blindness (retinopathy), kidney disease and nerve damage (neuropathy). Diabetes is also an important risk factor for heart disease and stroke, as well as a leading cause of amputations due to the damage the disease sometimes causes in the feet and legs.
"A family history of diabetes does lead to a greater risk for developing Type 2 diabetes," Braund said. "A primary risk factor for diabetes is being overweight or obese. Other risk factors include age, race, high blood pressure and high cholesterol."
Braund said simple steps can help prevent diabetes and its complications:
· Be aware of personal risk factors
· Be physically active – aim for at least 30 minutes per day
· Eat more fruits and vegetables
· Eat more complex carbohydrates such as whole grain bread and pasta; and less refined grains like white/enriched bread and pasta
· Work with your doctor on preventive measures
· Manage blood pressure and cholesterol
· Quit or don't start using tobacco (quitwyo.org or 1-800-QUIT-NOW)
Symptoms of diabetes are often subtle but include:
· Urinating often
· Feeling very thirsty
· Feeling hungry, even though you are eating
· Extreme fatigue (tiredness)
· Blurry vision
· Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
· Weight loss, even though you are eating more (type 1)
· Tingling, pain, or numbness in hands/feet (type 2)
Braund said residents who experience any of these symptoms should talk with a medical professional to learn more.

London, England (Sports Network) - World No. 1 star Novak Djokovic booked a
spot in Sunday's semifinals at the season-ending ATP World Tour Finals.
The 2008 champion went 3-0 in his round-robin matches in London after handling
fifth-seeded Czech Tomas Berdych 6-2, 7-6 (8-6) at The O2 Arena. The former
Wimbledon runner-up Berdych fell to 1-2 for the week.
Djokovic prevailed in 1 hour, 37 minutes with the help of seven aces and was
broken only once by the powerful Berdych on Day 5.
Friday's other round-robin match will pit third-seeded Andy Murray (1-1)
against seventh seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga, who was last year's Tour Finals
runner-up to the great Roger Federer.
Round-robin play will wrap up on Saturday when the second-seeded former No. 1
and reigning Wimbledon champion Federer (2-0) takes on sixth seed Juan Martin
del Potro (1-1) and fourth-seeded David Ferrer (1-1) battles eighth seed Janko
Tipsarevic (0-2). Ferrer was last week's titlist at the Paris Masters. Del
Potro was the Tour Finals runner-up in London in 2009 and upset Federer in a
final last month in Basel, which is Federer's hometown.
The 31-year-old 17-time Grand Slam champion Federer is a record six-time Tour
Finals champ, including wins in the last two finals in the prestigious eight-
player event.
This week's four-player Group A features the Australian Open champion
Djokovic, the U.S. Open and Olympic titlist Murray, Berdych and Tsonga
(0-2), while Group B boasts Federer, Ferrer, del Potro and Tipsarevic. The
top-two players from each group will play in the semifinals on Sunday,
and the winners will square off in the lucrative finale Monday in London.
The 2012 World Tour Finals champion can earn as much as $1.76 million.

Global Port Tracker report cites a hesitant recovery in Europe
February 26, 2013
Signs of a meaningful economic recovery in Europe appear to be slim at the moment, based on the most recent edition of the Global Port Tracker report from Hackett Associates and the Bremen Institute of Shipping Economics and Logistics.
Ports surveyed in this report include the six major container reports in North Europe: le Havre, Antwerp, Zeebrugge, Rotterdam, Bremen/Bremerhaven, and Hamburg.
As previously reported, myriad difficult economic circumstances in the Eurozone, including unemployment, consumer confidence, and especially tight fiscal policies have served as drivers in the continent's economy continuing to head for a contraction, which will further hinder trade activity there.
"There should be no doubt that the North European expectations of any significant growth in the volumes of North European trade are nothing but an illusion," said Ben Hackett, president of Hackett Associates, in the report.
This matches up with previous forecasts by Hackett, suggesting that it is unlikely a true economic recovery will occur there before 2014, as LM has reported.
According to the report, 2013 imports in North Europe, including the United Kingdom, are expected to be up 1.8 percent after a 0.8 percent decline in 2012. Exports are expected to be up 7.9 percent compared to 9.5 percent in 2012, which the report noted will be largely driven by export activity out of Germany.
And for the six ports covered in the Global Port Tracker report, imports are expected to fall 2.5 percent in 2013 to 15.5 million TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) and exports are expected to increase by 1.1 percent to 17.6 million TEU. Total European imports and exports are expected to decrease 3.2 percent and rise 9.3 percent to 20.2 million TEU and 18.7 million TEU, respectively.
In highlighting how sluggish the European economy is the report said it expects a 0.1 percent decrease in total moves over the next six month compared to the same period a year ago, with total incoming loaded containers projected to decrease by 0.85 percent during the same period. And outgoing loaded containers are expected to increase 0.4 percent over the next six months compared to a 6.4 percent increase during the same period in 2012.
Looking at the capacity environment in the ocean cargo market at the moment, Hackett told LM that available capacity is increasing due to the number of new ships coming online.
"Overall, capacity is rising," he said. "Our belief is that there will be consolidation among carriers this year. Raising rates, though, will be tough with volumes still low and new capacity coming."

Global warming is "unequivocal" and it is "extremely likely" that humans are the primary contributors to this warming, according to a report released Friday morning in Stockholm by the U.N.-created Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the world's top climate research group.
"Human influence has been detected in warming of the atmosphere and the ocean, in changes in the global water cycle, in reductions in snow and ice, in global mean sea level rise, and in changes in some climate extremes," the report says.
The report says that it is now more certain than ever that "human influence has been the dominant cause of the observed warming" since the 1950s.
The report says that "each of the last three decades has been successively warmer at the Earth's surface than any preceding decade since 1850" and that in "the Northern Hemisphere, 1983-2012, was likely the warmest 30-year period of the last 1400 years."
As for the supposed "pause" in global warming since 1998, the report says that this may be due to changing climate models and that a fuller understanding of this pattern requires further study.
"Due to natural variability, trends based on short records are very sensitive to the beginning and end dates and do not in general reflect long-term climate trends," the report says.
The report says that it is "extremely likely" that more than half of the observed global warming from 1950 is caused by an increase in greenhouse gases emissions.
What was released this morning is a short "summary for policymakers" of the full 1,000-page report, which will be released Monday, Sept. 30.
The report is "the world's most rigorous and important scientific report in history," says meteorologist Jeff Masters of the Weather Underground, a private meteorology firm.
The IPCC "has put together an amazingly authoritative and comprehensive report on a subject crucial to the future of civilization, a report that will guide policymakers worldwide as they struggle to cope with the growing chaos generated by the great climate disruption that is already upon us," he says.
"There's now no denying that climate change is real and it's impacts are occurring faster and are worse than we could have predicted even six years ago," stated Durwood Zaelke, president of the Institute for Governance and Sustainable Development, a non-profit group in Washington, D.C.
The report is based on research by hundreds of the world's top climate scientists. This one covers the physical science of climate change, and will be followed over the next 14 months by three more reports on climate change impacts, mitigation, along with a synthesis of the previous reports.
The IPCC releases reports every few years that synthesize the latest in peer-reviewed research. This is its fifth assessment and the first since 2007.
Following the report's release, U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon said Friday: "The heat is on. Now we must act."

FYI, OSX is BSD which is a variant of Linux.
Other way around. BSD is a variant of AT&T Unix and Linux came later as a way to get a PD form that was very similar.
Over the years they have gone slightly different ways but I am willing to bet that C source code for Linux programs would compile under OS X without too much trouble if it ran in a terminal window. There might be issues with libraries, but that might only be an issue for programs specifically needing Linux capabilities not present in BSD.
As an example, I had source from the old Unix ToolChest (System III) that I was able to compile with no problem under OS X. However, much of that has been replaced by GNU programs which I guess is the Unix variant of Linux.

An article that appeared on yesterday's Education page demonstrates both the difficulties that schools face, and the problems for a school of ensuring parental backing for sanctions. At first glance, the story is one of draconian punishment (if a detention is nowadays perceived as such) for minor infractions.
The school, however, could not have made its intentions clearer. "The school texted parents during the Easter break saying that children would receive a detention if they failed to bring a planner diary, a pen, a pencil, a sharpener, a rubber, a ruler and a calculator." This is hardly an unreasonable request. This is a secondary school, so we are not talking of primary children here, and the school had asked that children should arrive with the minimum of equipment necessary for class. The children's pencil cases were then checked on the first day of term, and those who had… Read more

Jonathan Broxton introduced at Kauffman Stadium
Newly acquired reliever Jonathan Broxton met with the Kansas City media today. The former Dodgers closer is coming off of a September surgery for bone spurs in his right elbow. He said that 10 to 12 teams contacted him this offseason, with the Royals being the first to make an offer. While he could have closed for a few other clubs, Broxton believes that Kansas City gave him the best opportunity to win. Whether he pitches early or late in the game, he is ready to help the Royals.
The easy-going righty also likes the idea that the Royals are a young, competitive club and a family organization. Broxton plans to lead by example, mentioning that he doesn't like seeing pitchers celebrate on the mound or batters showing up the opposition after a home run. Broxton mentored a young Dodgers bullpen last season after his injury, staying for every out of every game.
Broxton feels fine as he recovers and plans to begin throwing in 15 to 16 days. General Manager Dayton Moore noted that Broxton could begin throwing this week, though the Royals wanted him to wait. Moore is not worried about Broxton's health, noting that many teams were interested and all had looked at his medical file.
A few additional notes:
• Moore mentioned the importance of getting one of KC's top pitching prospects into the rotation at some point in 2012, though it may not happen right away.
• Moore isn't concerned about Joakim Soria's struggles in 2011, saying that every closer has ups and downs during a career. As long as the righty is healthy, Moore believes that he is the go-to guy.
Shortly after the press conference, Broxton was officially added to the 40-man roster. In a corresponding move, infielder Jeff Bianchi was designated for assignment. Bianchi, a second-round pick in 2005, played at Double-A Northwest Arkansas in 2011.

Very cool! Congrats
Thanks to my oldest son Ben the story of our wolf hunt is in the current issue of Fur Fish and Game. I could be biased but I feel Ben did an outstanding job and I'm very proud of him for getting his first article published and making a couple bucks at it.
I have been holding out on posting the pics of the kill until the story came out but here they are.
She had killed this buck and was just finishing her meal when I spotted her and was able to kill her with a snap shot with the old 30-30.
Sorry if your all tired of hearing about my wolf I just wanted to give Ben a little recognition for getting his article published and would love to hear what you think if you happen to have a copy and read the article.
Good luck wolf hunting this fall! I am going back with high hopes of killing a black one this trip.
Very cool! Congrats
Very nice Joe. It is a good story, pictures and the mount turned out well too. It is not a story I'll get tired of. Congratulations Joe and Ben!
Definitely very cool!!
Wow. That is a big animal. Congrats.
That's pretty dam big for a female ! like the european's you made from them. Nice !
"The old 30-30" -- awesome.
(just threw my hat in the ring for the Wisconsin wolf hunt -- first year ever -- with about 7,000 others I hear).
Awesome man!!!
Ive browsed the magazine and love the feel of it! Great kill congrats.
That is so awesome. Congrats on the wolf kill.

We're running a multi-server environment; version 7.2 Release 2669.
The problem is even though we have zimbraPublicServiceHostname set as well as a virtual host, frequently users from the outside world are redirected to a backend mailbox server upon login. The mailbox server is not directly accessible from the Internet, and traffic is supposed to be handled through the proxy server. We currently have two proxy servers (mta), one mailbox server, ldap server, and two archive servers. The problem began recently after adding a new archive server. All servers are CentOS5 except the new one which is CentOS6. All servers run the same version of zimbra. Browers affected are IE, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, so it doesn't appear to necessarily be a browser problem.
I haven't found anything obvious in any of the log files on any server, but it appears that occasionally, the zimbraPublicServiceHostname is not being used when transmitting data back to clients. These are users trying to log in via the web interface.
Would anyone have any insight as to where and how to begin troubleshooting this?

Just had a slice of pizza for lunch. Which begs the question, what makes great pizza? Is it the crust? The sauce? The cheese? The toppings?

The key is the sauce.
The greatest pizza ever is at Harbor Lights / Scortinos in South Amboy, NJ.
It is beyond explation. I could never put it into words.
Let me know if you want to go, my treat. Haha!
Finally….a serious baseball question! ;-)
I think it's the crust…I make my own at home and make more of a pie/deep dish pizza a la Chicago style.
Ironically, I've never really understand the reason why people rave about New York style pizza. Doesn't do much for me.
John T
I say it's all of the above.
I think it's the crust. And I've got to say that New York does have the best pizza. I think it's because there is so much of it here that no matter what type you like, they have it. So everyone votes for New York's. My favorite is a really good thin-crust pizza and there used to be this restaurant in midtown on 2nd Ave that made a thin-crust that was out of this world. Makes me hungry just thinking about it.
Benny Ayala
The crust, whether doughy or crispy, needs to be light—it can't be laden and heavy like a loaf of bread. This is usually based on the guy working the dough and whether he knows what he's doing.
The sauce, whether spicy or sweet, shouldn't be overpowering. It's an accent piece, rather than the main course.
The cheese should be of good quality (sorry, Buckeyes, but provolone doesn't belong on pizza) and there should be enough of it.
Finally, it should all hold together like an orchestra, with each element holding up its own end and allowing for no slacking in between. In other words, a good crust can't overcome the use of provolone.
The answer is an emphatic YES
its the sauce really…right amount of cheese….cheese is usually overemphasized but the right amount makes a pizza good…and of course a soft but not mushy crust is ideal….but the sauce really makes or breaks a pizza…usually the taste is overpowered by too much cheese or a crappy crust…but if everything is right…and the sauce is good, then buddy, you got yourself a great slice…
just like a baseball team…it begs to imply that everything must be right for the team to be the best!
It's the crust, with the ingredients being secondary. I live in DC, where good pizza is non-existent (I don't wanna hear other wise, I've look far and wide) and although some semi-reputable places use great ingredients and what I assume is great sauce, the crust is more often than not too thick, too crunchy, or just not very tasty.
It is definitely the sauce….good sauce conquers all!
Sam G. - Portland, OR
It's a combo of sauce and crust… the sauce doesn't conquer all when the crust droops and it drips on your nice clean polo :)
I bet the crust in Oregon does "droop". NY doesn't have that problem.
Joan in Cheshire
Pizza? One of the first and still finest pizza places in America is Pepe's on Wooster Square in New Haven. Even here in Central CT. there are more pizza places and/or Italian restaurants than I can count and they are all good.
Its a combination of sauce and crust. I HIGHLY recommend Singa's Famous Pizza, whose original location is in Elmhurst Queens, right off Broadway. They have a few other locations including Valley Stream, (on Rockaway Blvd, just north of Sunrise Highway, as well as in the Lower East Side (2nd ave. and 11th st)... Fantastic personal pan pizza's, and loads of fresh toppings…Singa's or bust!

I think Benny got it right, pizza is a combination food. Take out any of the three essential ingredients and it's nothing special. I'm in DC now, and I've been a lot of places – perfect NY pizza can be found in NY, some of NJ, some of CT, maybe RI. Around here, people judge pizza by the toppings. That's like going to see a ballgame because you like the mascot/band/cheerleaders. I think what puts real NY pizza on top is perfect crust that noone else can replicate. That said, the most common mistakes are cheap cheese, too much sauce (or really bad sauce) and over/under cooking.
Sam G. - Portland, OR
There are a couple of places here in town that are as close to "NY Style" that I've ever tasted. One guy is from Brooklyn and the other guys is from the Bronx. They know how to do it.
sam g- being in Vancouver Wa, would love to know your NY places….
as for my opinions…here is a mini-guide i wrote a few years back, for folks wanting NY pizza outside of the metro area..
1) Hawaiian Pizza is NOT pizza….If you beleive in a God, you better beleive he is angry at the concept of Pineapple and CANADIAN BACON…not only on a pizza..but on one TOGETHER…and since when is Canadian Bacon Hawaiian anyway? Avoid any pizza place that serves a Hawaiian style pizza, or at least let them know you are disgusted that they serve it.
2)If they don't sell by the slice, they ain't worth buying from. Ya gotta sample the goods before you buy the pie!
3)If the box can be reused for any purpose, it's not a real pizza. A real pizza leaves the box greasy and spent and smelling of the pizza that was just consumed.
4)If somehow the so-called pizza maker beleives that cheddar and mozzarella mixed makes a "cheese pizza"...uhh yeah…cheddar is for mac and cheese, not pizza….get it away from me!
5)If you see a pizza place advertising NY style pizza…..do not get excited, do not get flustered, odds are 10 to 1, its utter crap like no NY Pizza you've ever tried. (See rule #2)
6)If when ordering slice from so-called NY style pizza, they offer you "para-mee-see-in" cheese to put on it…just run….don't even get your money back….just get out.
7)Just because the Chicago Cubs arent in our divison anymore doesn't mean we can suddenly embrace their pizza.
8)Avoid national chains…..period. Dominos is disgusting, Papa's is poopoo, and Pizza Hut should be called Pizza Butt. Sbarro's are an exception ONLY if every pizza place in your town fails 1-7 above…then eat it and weep, knowing a weak NY pizza is better than anything else the pizza world can offer.
9)Gimmick Pizzas are just another way of saying "our pizza sucks, but we are in denial"....chicken alfredo pizza? WHAT THE HECK!
10) The more toppings they pile on means the more the crust is weak, the sauce is bland, and the cheese is from dog's milk…in other words, pizza is about the crust, cheese and sauce…if you lack confidence in any of those, you tend to "over top".....so save yourself from overcompensating pizza..
Sam G. - Portland, OR
there's a place on Barbur Blvd in Portland called NY NY Pizza. The guy is from Brooklyn and has excellent pizza. I can't remmeber the name of the place owned by the guy in the Bronx it's down in Salem, I catch some from there everytime I'm down there.
cool..will definitely check those out.on my side of the river check out NYC Pizzeria (formely Aldo's)..off 205 by mill plain.they have a pretty decent pizza, but their little known secret is a really good sicilian….
Benny Ayala
JB—You forgot #11: If they sell chicken wings at the "pizzeria," run for your life!!!
ooh Benny…good one….i think i wrote that before the current wing obsession at chain places, but its a very valid point!
JB – I had a great chicken pesto pizza for $20 at a place in NY, 3rd avenue between 78th and 79th, Don Filipo's for those who live near. Also, the national chains are pretty good for the price when they have special deals. They're just too doughy and fill you too fast. They're less greasy too, but now thinking about it, its more like flavored bread. I've eaten it enough that I've grown to like Domino's and Pizza Hut. I just had a pepperoni dippin strips pizza which was pretty excellent.
To JD's original question, I don't think it's quite possible to choose just one, but when the sauce is good, it really stands out.
Dan Gurney
The beer that goes with it. Beer, as Jean Shepherd's old man used to say, is proof there is a God. All this goodness doesn't just happen. Pizza? All is good but I vote for the cheese.
Mota must be released
Dave in Spain
While I usually prefer a tomato based sauce, a place in NJ I used to go to made a great pesto pizza with sun-dried tomatos and artichoke hearts…
In spain you can´t normally find places that sell by the slice—except the salad bars in the big cities, which don´t count as pizza anyway. I finally found a really good pizza place in Barcelona…Pizza Paco.
With the potential for owing apologies to NJ (since I've never had pizza there), I'll tell you that it is impossible to get good pizza west of the Hudson. What passes for pizza here in Michigan would have you guys asking why we're eating the box instead of the pizza. And those Chicago pizza-pot-pies are a joke. (The Chicago hot-dog-under-a-salad are a joke, too.)
But there's no single thing that makes for good pizza; it's all in the combination of the right things. For me, the key ingredients are the sauce, the oven and (since it's my favorite) the sausage. But there are many other ingredients that make it right; I wish I knew them all! But cooking is not my forte.
Whenever I'm back in CT, getting good pizza is a MUST. And I really miss it while I'm out here.
You need the crust, sauce and cheese. That is the foundation. As with anything well done if the foundation is not good nothing is.
JK – If you would tell me where the mid town 2nd ave pizza place is I would be forever grateful. I have yet to find a decent pizza midtown east side. They range from out of town pizza to fair.
Benny Ayala
When I die, please sprinkle my ashes at Ray Bari Pizza on 56th and 3rd. Thanks in advance.
Dave in Spain
As long as you´re not sprinkled ON the pizza…
I worked in a pizzeria when I was in college. We had to make the dough ourselves. They had one of those giant mixing bowls. I don't remember the exact recipe but it was very simple. A few scoops of flour, some salt, some sugar, some oil and I think yeast. Then you let the giant mixer mix it for maybe 25 minutes. Then you formed it into appropriate size balls for pizzas and put it onto oil coated racks and then into the fridge. I think the dough and the sauce are the keys. It's not hard to find a decent mozzarella cheese supplier but its easy to mess up the dough or the sauce. But its really in the recipe for both. The sauce cant be too sweet. It shouldn't be sweet at all really. I don't remember every playing around with the dough recipe so I can't say the effect of different proportions in the ingredients but our dough was good.
dave: The restaurant is no longer in business. When it closed, I was pretty sad. I haven't found a thin-crust pizza I like as much. However, Totonno's is pretty good, although expensive. Theirs is a thin-crust. There are a few in Manhattan. One on 2nd Ave in the 20s and one on 2nd Ave. in the low 80s.

I am looking for "THE" jacket for backpack hunts. These suckers are expensive and I want to buy a good one and only do it once. I am looking for a jacket that is good in all situations, is durable, and warm. That way I only have to worry about packing in one jacket for the trip.
I have a quality base layer, but struggled with my coat last year. This year I am upgrading. I have narrowed it to three, but wanted some opinions on what everyone is using.

Monday News, July 23
Motorcycle Accident On Highway 3
(Le Mars) -- A motocycle accident occurred on Saturday evening at the 2400 block of Highway 3, approximately nine miles west of Le Mars. The accident happened at about 8:25 p.m. 55 year old Russell Proctor of Mosinee, Wisconsin was the driver of a 1984 Harley Davidson motorcycle. He had been riding in a group of six motorcycles traveling west on Highway 3. Proctor left the roadway and went onto the north shoulder at which time he lost control and entered the north ditch. Proctor was thrown from the motorcycle coming to rest in the north ditch. Proctor was first transported to Floyd Valley Hospital and then airlifted to Mercy Medical Center by Mercy Aircare with life threatening injuries. He was not wearing a helmet. Responding to the scene were the Plymouth County Sheriff's Department, Akron Police, Iowa State Patrol, Le Mars Fire and Rescue, Le Mars Ambulance, and the Le Mars Police Department.
Hinton Fire Department Called to a Barn Fire
(Hinton) -- The Hinton Fire Department responded to an assistance call from the Lawton Fire Department to help fight a major barn fire. That fire was located at 1614 120th Street near Sioux City. Hinton was called at about 9:40 a.m. and was on the scene until 3:20 p.m. Other fire departments included Lawton, Sergeant Bluff, Moville, Bronson, and a unit from the Sioux City airport also responded. No word as of yet as to what may have been the cause of that fire, or the extent of damage.
Northey To Visit Northwest Iowa
(Des Moines) -- Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey has announced that he will be visiting Ida, Cherokee, Sioux and Plymouth Counties on Monday, July 23rd as part of his efforts to visit each of Iowa's 99 counties again in 2012. Northey will visit the Ida County Fair in Ida Grove at 10:30 a.m., then he will tour Little Sioux Corn Processing in Marcus at 12:30 p.m. Northey is scheduled to tour Van Beek Natural Science in Orange City at 2:00 p.m. and then he will visit the Remsen Processing in Remsen at 3:30 p.m.
Fair Board Showcases New Livestock Facility
(Le Mars) -- Wednesday is the start of the Plymouth County Fair, but on Friday evening, the fair board welcomed the public as they held an open house showcasing the new livestock housing facility. Fair board President Tony Schroeder welcomed the crowd and said the decision was made by the fair board to construct a new livestock housing facility since the original barns were no longer safe structures. Schroeder says pedestrian safety was a major consideration for locating the new barn north of the show arena. The fair board president explained to the gathering the new facility will be used to house all the beef, dairy, sheep, and goat exhibits. The new barn measures 150 feet by 100 feet. It is an E-P-S building that was constructed by Sitzmann Construction of Le Mars.
Today Is Cleanup Day At Fairgrounds
(Le Mars) -- Today at the fair grounds is fairground clean up day that begins at 9:00 a.m. 4-H and FFA reduced price passes will be sold between 9:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. and again from 2:00 to 6:00 p.m. Those passes can be obtained at the fair office. Livestock Stall assignments will be posted at 1:00 p.m. today. This evening at 7:00 p.m. is the 4-H and FFA Horse Show (timed events) at the Horse Arena.
Heat Wave To Continue
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) - The National Weather Service says heat relief will not be soon in coming for Iowa and Nebraska.
A weather service warning about excessive heat remains in effect until Wednesday afternoon or night in west-central and southwest Iowa and in southeast Nebraska.
The warnings are issued when the service experts believe dangerously high temperatures will occur in which "heat and humidity will combine to create a dangerous situation in which heat illnesses are likely."
The century mark was breached in both states on Sunday. The air temperature hit 104 in Des Moines and 105 in Omaha, for examples. Humidity made it seem hotter.
Director For National Missing and Exploited Children Remains Optimistic About Missing Cousins
(Des Moines) -- A director at the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children says there is some reason to be optimistic about the search for two missing Iowa girls.
Robert Lowery says there have been cases where missing children were found long after they disappeared, so there's no reason to give up on the search for 10-year-old Lyric Cook-Morrissey and 8-year-old Elizabeth Collins.
Lowery pointed out the famous cases of Elizabeth Smart and Jaycee Dugard as reasons to remain hopeful. Both were found alive months or years after their abductions.
Lowery also says the public shouldn't assume that Iowa officials are focused only on the lake where the girls' bicycles were found. He says investigators are following multiple leads.
Investigators spent much of last week searching Meyers Lake and the surrounding area, which is about 120 miles northeast of Des Moines.
Michigan Wins Solar Car Race -- Iowa State Placed Second
ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - The University of Michigan has made it four wins in a row at the 2012 American Solar Challenge vehicle competition.
The university says its car the Quantum is the winner in the eight-day solar vehicle competition. The 1,650-mile event started July 14 in Rochester, New York, and ended Saturday in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The university says its car crossed the finish line about 2:30 p.m. Central Daylight Time, with Iowa State University and Principia College coming in second and third. There were 18 teams in all.
Michigan has won the event seven times since it began in 1990. The racers faced some bad weather conditions, including rain on the second and last days.

Iverson could be better than Melo right now, but i agree with others in that the summer league will either expose Melo or give him a chance to make the Celtics this year.
He was drafted as a "project", but even projects need to show some improvement after one year. And, this is especially true of guys who were so far behind NBA standards when drafted.
With the Celtics likely to not be as strong as even last year, I think that Melo needs to at least earn a top 12 spot this year or it could be time to move him. That video last summer when the folding chair collapsed under him may have been his NBA highlight film.

I've got a heavy load of people hitting my server trying to get access. I installed fail2ban and I'm trying to figure out where to tell it to look for repeated unauthorized access. I see info about it in my log emails forthe admin user but i have no idea where to point fail2ban to monitor to build a block list. I'm not concerned with ports. I only need to know the location of the log file that shows unauthorized access. I thought itwas the maillog file in /vag/log but that doesn't seem to be right.
Any help is appreciated. If you think deny.hosts works better let me know. My access is only via https.

Israel on Tap to Become Major Natural Gas Producer, but Geopolitical Tangle May Await
March 30, 2013
JERUSALEM (AP) — Recent discoveries of massive offshore natural gas deposits, set to begin flowing in the coming days, are turning into a mixed blessing for Israel....
Troll: First, this is just more Nat Gas abundance baloney. Israel is producing from one field, the Tamar, and developing another, Leviathan. Both are offshore and require drilling in water about a mile deep. However, they are conventional gas deposits in sandstone and carbonate rock and don't require fracking. The kicker is that the entire estimated reserves of the Tamar and Leviathan fields, together, over their entire projected lives, would supply the US gas market for, maybe, two years. That might be generous. Don't forget how small, in size and population, Israel is. This is just more nat gas magical thinking hype. It sounds like an exciting new development, but, in the grand scheme, it's peanuts. Israel, in no way shape or form, will become a "major" gas producer, as the title of this poorly-researched piece indicates it will.

We subsidize the OPEC countries for hundreds of billions of dollars per year.
We developed their resources, they stole those resources and now we have to pay them for the oil that we paid to have developed.

I wonder how long it will be before the Palestinians claim that the gas belongs to them? In typical Muslim fashion, they wait for other, harder working and more intelligent capitalists to find and develop the resources, and take all the risk, then they move in to steal a productive field.
Without American and British companies doing all the hard work, the middle East Muslim kings would still be living in tents and riding camels and dining on figs and grapes.
There is a reason by Alaweed can afford a $500 million airplane and why the Saudi king owns multiple customized 747s. That reason is that white western English speakers found and built the wealth of the fat Muslim rulers.

I hope the Israelis aren't fracking. Because if they are I'm sure WVUGEO will start complaining about the salt water they're dumping in the Mediterranean and icecream will start feeling the earthquakes.

I'd like to say I'll skip next year's recipe contest, but I won't. I can't help myself. This year's competition: bruschetta. Demanding that a bruschetta recipe include tomato...well, frankly it frustrated me because bruschetta is to do with the bread. It doesn't have to include toppings, and if it does, they can be anything. However, I love tomatoes in all the ways, and I love competitions in even more of the ways, so I was in for a fourth year. (I won 1st place for soup & 2nd for sandwich in preceding years, and we're not going to talk about the salad year. loser.)
My immediate inspiration was the everything bagel. A real, honest to goodness bagel from Jersey – topped with whipped cream cheese, fresh tomato and coarse black pepper is one of my most favorite things to eat. It doesn't happen often, but when I can get my hands on a Jersey bagel during peak Tennessee tomato time, I am the happiest of girls because my two homes collide in the most delicious way.
So that's where I started. I knew I wanted to make my own bagels (I have so many strong feelings about bagels that it deserves a separate post...someday) because, ahem, the bread is the thing that makes bruschetta bruschetta (I'm imagining this in a Giada voice. Are you?)
From there, I built an everything bagel, but my way. I sliced the homemade bagels, toasted them, rubbed them with roasted garlic & olive oil, slathered them with whipped cream cheese, and topped them with fresh tomato. It was tough not to enhance the tomatoes in any way since they're the star of the contest, but when it's summer in Tennessee, if a tomato needs something done to it to make it shine, something is wrong.
For the "everything" part, I knew I wanted crunch, and I dreamed up this brittle. The best way I can describe it is this: it's not exactly good, but I can't stop eating it.
So, did I win? NO. However, I received 'honorable mention,' which I think might be a compliment. Maybe. Even better, my most talented mommy won 3rd place for her BLT bruschetta. Way better than me winning. She's hooked on the contest thing now. She's already dreaming up next year's entry, which we're told must be dip. (click it. trust.)

Born: 10/01/1969
Birth Place: Wilkesboro, North Carolina, USA
Born on Oct. 1, 1969 in the folk music mecca of Wilkesboro, NC, Galifianakis was raised in a Greek Orthodox home by his father, Harry, an oil heating vendor, and his mother, Mary. His flair for bizarre comedy developed in high school, where he spontaneously launched into a lisping, effeminate redneck with an exaggerated fear of strangers - his first character creation. Though it was a hit with classmates, Galifianakis failed to consider a comedy career until years later. He attended North Carolina State University, where he majored in communications and film. But with only one course to finish for graduation, Galifianakis suddenly dropped out, citing a "nervous breakdown" as the cause. Wit... Continue Bio >>
