Mexican president talks economy in Tijuana
TIJUANA, Mexico Embarking on a quest for greater national prosperity, Mexico's president traveled with a top economic adviser on Wednesday to Baja California to meet with Tijuana-area business and political leaders at a hotel blocks away from the U.S. border.
During his campaign and since taking office Dec. 1, Enrique Peña Nieto has sought to shift political discourse toward Mexico's economic and educational future and away from his predecessor's relentless fight against drug trafficking and organized crime.
At an invitation-only gathering of more than 400 business leaders and politicians, Peña Nieto emphasized his commitment to detailed, constituency-based government, listening to a laundry list of requests related to electricity rates, irrigation ditches, a Tecate-Tijuana railroad leg and incentives for development on the border before taking the podium.
"The commitment of my government, and my personal commitment, is to be close to the development and growth that Baja California needs," said Peña Nieto. Success "doesn't just depend upon structural reform but on the efficiencies that governments have for providing answers to specific needs of productive sectors."
He tasked Economy Secretary Ildefonso Guajardo Villarreal to meet in private with local industrial and chamber of commerce leaders and hear out their concerns.
Peña Nieto's election marked the return of the centrist Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, to the presidency after a 12-year hiatus. Across Mexico, few have forgotten how the party clung to power for 70 years until 2000 through widespread patronage and corruption.
Peña Nieto has distanced himself from that authoritarian past, even as he rebuilds the party's far reaching political machinery.
Political analysts viewed the presidential visit to Tijuana — just 12 days into the term — as an early effort to fortify the PRI's political base in Baja California ahead of gubernatorial elections next summer.
Baja California's governors have been affiliated with the center-right National Action Party, or PAN, since a groundbreaking 1989 state election, which marked the first recognized victory by an opposition governor in modern Mexico.
But the PRI still has a large base of support in the state of 3.7 million residents. Its candidates swept all five mayoral races here during mid-term elections in 2010, and Peña Nieto placed first among Baja California voters in the July vote in a three-way race, without winning a majority.
"The PRI, as a political institution, is in the most competitive position that we've had in the last 24 years," René Mendívil Acosta, state director for the party, told reporters on Wednesday.
In public comments, State Gov. José Guadalupe Osuna Millán urged the president to make good on infrastructure projects for Baja California already detailed in next year's budget.
Politics were only the backdrop to a conversation centered on the economy of Mexico's northernmost state.
As labor rates creep up at factories in China, Mexico and its border industries have been pressing their advantages, catering to just-in-time delivery schedules in the U.S.
The country as a whole has achieved steady economic expansion since 2009 and is expected finish 2012 with 3.9 percent growth in gross domestic product, despite a slowdown in the third quarter, according to the World Bank.
David Shirk, a Mexico expert and associate professor at the University of San Diego, said Peña Nieto's trip provided new visibility on the West Coast for his economic cause.
"The message from Peña Nieto is not only that his party is back in power but Mexico is back, that it's a major player as far as tourists and investors and others to look to in the next couple of years," Shirk said.
Speaking to business leaders for nearly 20 minutes, the president signaled his support for adding perks to a border economic zone initiated under the previous administration of President Felipe Calderón to provide customs duty exemptions and other incentives for investment.

River Restoration at Berkeley
Overview of River Restoration Studies at UCB
The University of California faculty and students have been actively involved in environmental planning and restoration for nearly four decades. In 1973, at UC Berkeley, Luna Leopold started Hydrology for Planners, a foundation course for environmental planning students pursing restoration studies, and the course has been offered annually since. Over the years, restoration-related courses have been taught by faculty at various UC Campuses, including, Alex Horne, Kara Nelson, Vince Resh, Adina Merelender, Don Erman, Mary Power, Jeff Mount, Matt Kondolf, Katie Suding, Peter Moyle and their students have pursued river- restoration-related research in programs such as Civil Engineering, Landscape Architecture and Environmental Planning, Environmental Sciences, Earth and Planetary Science, Energy and Resource Group, Geography and Integrated Biology.
At Berkeley, the course Restoration of Rivers and Streams (LA 227), offered since 1992, emphasizes restoration principles, research and post project appraisal. The course has built up a set of post-project appraisal studies, many available online (Kondolf, et. al. 2011). In the Ecological Factors in Urban Design (LA 201) studio course, students conducted invertories and analysis, and developed plans/designs for river corridors (Kondolf, et. al. in press).

From the kitchen of Kelly Minter and her Bible Study
The Living Room Series: RUTH, loss, love and legacy
Serves 6-8
Perhaps one of my all-time favorite dishes. It takes a little effort, but your group will love you for taking the time to tackle this one. (And it's even better the next day.)
6 Chicken breasts (boiled 20 min, keep 2 cups broth)
2 cups canned chicken broth
8 burrito size tortillas
8 Tblsp. picante sauce (Terri used a 16 oz. jar of chunky salsa)
1/2 cup tightly packed cilantro
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp. cumin (Terri used 2 tsp.)
1 Tblsp. flour (Terri used 2 Tblsp.)
1/2 stick of butter
4 oz. grated jack cheese
4 oz. grated cheddar cheese
optional, 1 can black beans, rinsed and drained
In blender, combine cumin, cilantro, sour cream, 1 cup canned chicken broth, 1 cup reserved chicken broth. In skillet or saucepan, heat butter slowly and add flour until smooth. Slowly add 2 other cups of chicken broth until smooth and creamy (I usually add more flour to make it thicker). Add in sauce in blender. This is the "gravy".
To make enchiladas: Take each tortilla and fill with 1/3 cup shredded chicken and 1-2 Tbsp of picante sauce. You can also add black beans to this which I love.
Roll Tortillas and place in 9×13 pan with seam side down.
Fill 9×13 pan with gravy and completely cover the enchiladas. Sprinkle cheeses on top.
Bake uncovered for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.
Terri's notes:
~ I mixed the shredded chicken, black beans, and a 16 oz. jar of salsa together and divided the mixture evenly to fill the burritos-very hearty and delicious!

Reinventing Hillary
Campaign 2008 | From Yale Law activist to faith-talking front-runner, the Democratic candidate meets challenges by mastering the makeover
Michael Medved hadn't seen Hillary Clinton in years when, in 1991, he tuned into C-SPAN to watch presidential hopeful Bill Clinton give a stump speech in Iowa.
Medved, now a conservative radio host and author, had been friends with Hillary Rodham when the two were classmates at Yale Law from 1969 to 1971. Another young law student named Bill Clinton began a year behind them.
Medved knew Bill had married Hillary after graduation, and that the two had been together when Bill became attorney general, then governor, in Arkansas. That's why Medved was surprised as a man on C-SPAN made the introduction: "Please welcome Arkansas Governor Bill Clinton and Mrs. Clinton!"
The Iowa crowd erupted into cheers. Medved stared in astonishment at the woman who appeared on the television screen.
"When I saw her," he says now, "I thought . . . 'Bill dumped Hillary!'"
The Hillary Clinton who walked onstage in Iowa looked nothing like Hillary Rodham, the popular, slightly heavy den mother of Yale Law '72. Gone were the Coke bottle glasses, mousy locks, and frumpy clothes. In their place: contact lenses, smartly styled hair, and a crisp, lawyerly suit. This Hillary had even shed the extra pounds.
"She looked almost stylish," Medved said. "She's the only person I know who looked better in her 40s than she did in her 20s."
Hillary Clinton's 60s are looking even better: The junior senator from New York has ridden comfortably atop the Democratic presidential polls for months. A late October Rasmussen poll showed her doubling up on Barack Obama, 43 percent to 20 percent.
Both her emergence as an apparently Kevlar candidate, and the dramatic outward change Medved observed in 1991, typify a Clinton pattern: reinventing herself to leverage the political moment.
Former House Majority Leader Dick Armey, a Texas Republican, served in Congress while Clinton was first lady and also when she entered the Senate. "I was struck by how either one of the Clintons could go through what I called a 'makeover,' and do it so unblushingly," he said. "Basically, they would say, 'I get it. People don't want this. They reject us over it. Therefore, we're not going to be this-at least not on the surface.'"
But while Clinton associates and biographers WORLD spoke with described Bill Clinton as poll-driven, they view Mrs. Clinton differently. "Hillary is a much more complicated organism," Medved said. "Yes, she wants to be loved and appreciated, but she is also a true idealist."
Her faith provides one example. In the 2004 general elections, the Republican Party steamrolled to victory, picking up seats in the House and Senate, and reelecting President George W. Bush. Analysts declared that 'values voters' had put the GOP over the top. This was not lost on Hillary Clinton. Within days of the election, she was salting her speeches with references to God.
In a Nov. 10, 2004, speech at Tufts University, she called on Democrats to stop ignoring people of faith on social issues. "No one can read the New Testament of our Bible without recognizing that Jesus had a lot more to say about how we treat the poor than most of the issues that were talked about in this election," she said.
Some Clinton critics have suggested she hoisted spiritual sails only after poking a finger into the political winds. But that is only partly true, says Grove City College political science professor Paul Kengor, author of God and Hillary Clinton. "She has actually publicly talked about religion for a long time," Kengor said, noting Clinton's lifelong devotion to Methodism and her emphasis on social justice mandates found in the Bible.
During the 1980s, while first lady of Arkansas, Clinton often gave a talk called "Why I am a Methodist" in which she spoke of John Wesley's "gospel of social justice, demanding . . . that society do right by all its people." In a 1994 interview with Newsweek religion editor Kenneth Woodward, Clinton said she believed in the Trinity, the atoning death of Jesus, and the resurrection.
Kengor said his research for God and Hillary Clinton convinced him that the senator's Christian faith is genuine. At the same time, though, he notes that Clinton has no compunctions about deploying religion in the service of politics-and in a way that her own party would vehemently condemn were a Republican to use the same tactics.
As an example, he points out "the amazing, flat-out, no-apology campaigning" Clinton did in 27 different New York churches during her 2000 run for the Senate. "George Bush couldn't get away with that even once, let alone dozens of times. It was very clearly an example of using your faith for political purposes."
Born on Oct. 26, 1947, Hillary Rodham during the 1950s was a familiar face at the First United Methodist Church. Her father, Hugh, taught his children to be self-reliant and beyond that to rely on God, not government. "We talked with God, walked with God and argued with God," Clinton wrote in her 1996 book, It Takes a Village (Simon & Schuster). "Each night we knelt by our beds to pray."
In 1964, as a high school senior, Hillary campaigned for Barry Goldwater-but she had also come under the tutelage of a youth pastor, Don Jones, who steered his flock away from historic Methodist teaching about salvation and personal morality. Instead, he set out to "awaken" his charges to white privilege, instill in them guilt, and enroll them in the "cultural revolution"-and young Hillary became his star pupil.
She kept in touch with Jones when she went off to Wellesley College, then Yale Law School, where Michael Medved remembers her as a warm, nurturing person, in contrast to the evil ice-queen image that many conservatives love to hate today: "She was probably the most liked and respected student at Yale Law when I was there. You could talk to her. This brittle lady that we see today, I mean, it's almost unimaginable to me."
At Yale, Hillary Rodham's metamorphosis from "Goldwater Girl" became complete. In 1970, she worked as a legal volunteer helping to defend Black Panther leader Bobby Seale against a murder charge. Protests over the "racial injustice" of the charges shut down the Yale campus-this though three of Seale's conspirators, all of whom were also black, had already pled guilty.
In the summer of 1971, she interned with attorney Robert Treuhaft, a social revolutionary and former member of the Communist Party USA. She graduated from law school in 1973 and was soon working on the Watergate investigation of President Richard Nixon. In 1975 she married Bill Clinton and moved with him to Arkansas, where Bill was elected attorney general and then, in 1978, governor. She became an attorney with the prestigious Rose Law Firm and kept her maiden name.
Hillary gave birth to Chelsea Clinton on Feb. 27, 1980, and was soon speaking in support of her husband's reelection bid-but voters made known their dislike for her. Gay White, whose husband Frank, now deceased, challenged Clinton in the 1980 governor's race, remembers that people would shake her hand and ask, "If your husband gets to be governor, are you going to keep his name?" Frank White edged out Bill Clinton that year, 52 percent to 48 percent. The defeat marked another era of reinvention.
"There was a dramatic change in Hillary," White said. "All of a sudden, she became 'Mrs. Bill Clinton.' She seemed to understand what the people in Arkansas were looking for. To her credit, she did what she needed to do to be more acceptable." One thing she did was go back to church, attending First United Methodist where she served on the board and did pro bono legal work.
Was career always first with her? Medved says, "I have the best proof that's not true: She went down to Arkansas to be with Bill. . . . If you're a Yale grad, and you've already done well enough to land a job on the Watergate committee, going to Arkansas to get married is not a good career move. It is an insane career move."
Clinton is ambitious, yes, but she also did the "traditional female thing," Medved said: "Somewhere inside her there is still that Methodist youth-group Goldwater Girl who has done everything possible to advance her husband."
Clinton's next makeover took place on a national stage. As soon as her husband became president she set about socializing the nation's health-care system-and crashed like the Hindenburg. Former House GOP leader Dick Armey says, "She really went to laying low after that. I think she realized that the country did not want a co-president no matter how much she may have wanted it . . . [so] she learned to be very undercover about it-almost invisible."
Out of sight, yes, but not out of touch. Clinton was "the consistent, stable, and reliable guiding organizational hand for the entire Clinton presidency," wrote former U.S. attorney Barbara Olson in The Final Days: The Last, Desperate Abuses of Power by the Clinton White House (Regnery, 2001). Olson wrote that her research "found Hillary involved . . . in virtually every White House scandal-even if just masterminding the defense and counterattacks as in the Lewinsky affair."
Still, China-gate, File-gate, Travel-gate, and Monica-gate didn't keep the former Watergate attorney from being elected to the U.S. Senate from New York after her husband served two terms as president. And now, having emerged as a political force in her own right, Clinton is mid-stride in what is perhaps her most masterful reinvention of all: She is successfully re-branding herself as the moderate choice for president.
She has moderated her talk on abortion (see sidebar below). At a January 2005 fundraiser, she declared that "there is no contradiction between support for faith-based initiatives and upholding our constitutional principles." Although she has repudiated her vote in favor of war in Iraq, she is not generally anti-war.
And yet, when alone with her base, Clinton still toes the progressive line. In January 2006, her Don Jones youth-group indoctrination resurfaced when she declared to a group of black leaders that the U.S. House of Representatives "has been run like a plantation." Speaking to Planned Parenthood in July 2007, Clinton pledged in her "very first days in office" to reverse "these ideological, anti-science, anti-prevention policies that this administration has put in place."
Despite Clinton's latest shape-shifting-or perhaps because of it-Dick Armey fully expects her to win the presidency. "Those running against her need to understand two things," he said: "She's smarter than they are, and she's meaner than they are. Hillary Clinton is a very skillful politician. A failure to understand that is going to be very risky."
Choice language
Hillary Clinton's abortion rhetoric suddenly changed one day in November
By Paul Kengor
To understand Hillary Clinton politically is to understand her on the abortion issue, an area which, for her, is sacred ground. Similarly, to understand Clinton politically in 2008 is to understand her on abortion. She realizes that in order to win in 2008, she will need some of those pro-life "values voters" who provided decisive religious rejections of pro-choice Democratic nominees Al Gore in 2000 and John Kerry in 2004. Clinton is now engaged in a remarkable shift in her abortion rhetoric-but not abortion policy. To illustrate this striking turnabout, consider a very telling 12-month period from January 2004 to January 2005.
It began with Clinton giving the keynote address at a Jan. 22, 2004, NARAL event celebrating Roe v. Wade. "While the choice debate has changed little since Roe v. Wade was decided 31 years ago, the tactics employed by our opponents have changed," began Clinton. "They have realized it cannot be done quickly and in the light of day. . . . As we gather today, forces are aligned to change this country and strip away the rights we enjoy and have come to expect. Slowly, methodically, quietly . . . as the American public sleeps."
She zeroed in on stances by "anti-choice forces" that "seem reasonable." Among them, "It's a crime to harm a pregnant woman, so it should be a crime to harm the fetus, as well. Right?" She warned: "Many of these policies sound perfectly reasonable to the untrained ear. But they are not reasonable when you realize the true intention-which is not to protect fetuses from crime. . . . These policies are meant to chip away at all reproductive rights."
This also applied, said Clinton, to the use of federal tax dollars to pay for abortions: "On the surface, this argument also sounds reasonable," she averred. "But by imposing this ban, Congress has denied access to a legal procedure for women who depend on the government for their health care-poor women, women in the military stationed overseas, Native American women, women in prison, federal employees, Peace Corps volunteers."
She went on to claim that pro-lifers were seeking to end "all rights of privacy," and magically read rights that do not exist into the U.S. Constitution.
This same Clinton was on display at the April 2004 "March for Women's Lives" in Washington, where women hoisted placards condemning the president's mother and the late pope's mother for not aborting their sons: "If Only Barbara Bush Had Choice," read one sign; "The Pope's Mother Had No Choice," regretted another. Read one placard: "Pro-Life is to Christianity as Al-Qaeda is to Islam."
But then came the November elections, when George W. Bush won reelection with a big boost from pro-life Christians-a wake-up call for Clinton. Only days later, in a Nov. 10 speech at Tufts University, she said her party had erred in ceding evangelicals to President Bush. Suddenly, a very different Hillary emerged, as evidenced in her next major abortion speech: the annual conference of the Family Planning Advocates of New York State.
Gathering in Albany, the faithful expected another take-no-prisoners talk framing "anti-choicers" as intransigent fanatics. But not this time: The zealots of last January were the values voters who had defeated John Kerry.
"[W]e should be able to find common ground . . . with people on the other side of this debate," offered Clinton. "I believe we can all recognize that abortion in many ways represents a sad, even tragic choice to many, many women." In a startling about-face, she now seemed to respect pro-lifers: "I for one respect those who believe with all their hearts and conscience that there are no circumstances under which any abortion should ever be available."
She would soon hire Burns Strider, a top Democratic Party political strategist who specialized in advising liberal Democrats how to appeal to pro-life evangelicals.
Clinton has learned: Do not demonize pro-lifers, tell them you respect them-you need their votes. And yet, she refuses to budge an inch on a single matter of pro-life legislation.

It's the night before Christmas 2010, the big day is upon us. Santa Claus has a busy schedule ahead of him.
So we're meant to be sat in the middle of our neighbourhood trading festive jokes, cooking chestnuts on the oak fire or something, like in those films. Instead i'm sitting here reading the GTA forums like it's an addiction after nearly 6 or so years of browsing the boards. Faces come. Faces go. Faces lerk in the background at groin level.
I'm sitting drinking beer, eating multiple snacks and typing away. My son is anticipating bed time so the night goes quicker enabling him to get those digits around all his pressies. My misses is watching soppy films on TV expecting me to be sat with her wiping her deluded tears of joy away.
To those of you that are still around these parts, have a great Christmas tomorrow, and remember, it's about spending time with your family not playing your PS3/Xbox/PC on your tod, or visiting the forums waiting for replies to your solitary thread.
Ti's the season to be jolly, so go get fucking drunk!

Police Force Sober Teenager to Take Breathalyzer Test
Breathalyzers are typically used at traffic stops when police suspect that someone has been driving under the influence of alcohol. Rarely, though, are breathalyzers used on young people who are not driving.
A 13-year-old boy, however recently discovered that police have several applications for breathalyzers, which are simple devices used to detect a person's blood alcohol content.
According to a recent article in the Detroit Free Press, the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a lawsuit against police in Livonia, Michigan after the police allegedly forced a teenager to take an alcohol breath test while on a school field trip.
At the time of the incident, the boy and his classmates were on a field trip celebrating their eighth grade graduation at Livonia's Rotary Park.
The ACLU lawsuit alleges that the boy and his friends had walked into nearby woods for a brief walk when an assistant principal, who had followed them into the woods, found them and accused them of drinking alcohol.
The assistant principal based his allegation on a liquor bottle that was found near the boys, though they claimed it did not belong to them and that they had not been drinking.
When the police arrived, they forced the students to take a Breathalyzer test. To the embarrassment of school officials and the officers, each boy blew a 0.0, proving that they had not had alcohol.
The boy's lawsuit focuses on the officers' breach of his Fourth Amendment right to not be subjected to an unlawful search. The Fourth Amendment is designed to protect innocent people from obtrusive searches by the police.
According to the ACLU, federal and state courts have ruled police officers must have a search warrant to administer a breathalyzer test to someone who is not driving.
The lawsuit also claims that, not only did the police officers not have a warrant to lawfully administer the blood alcohol test, they also did not have any probable cause of wrongdoing that might have given them a reason to pursue a search warrant in the first place.
As the lawsuit stated, "[w]hen there is no evidence that a child has done anything wrong, he should never be subjected to this degrading and embarrassing procedure in front of his teachers and peers."
As mentioned above, these types of situations are relatively uncommon. Breathalyzer tests are usually given to adult drivers when they are suspected of driving under the influence.
Even under these circumstances, however, breathalyzer tests are not infallible. In addition to the tests' potential for making mistakes, police must also follow a strict set of guidelines when they give BAC tests.
If these police fail to follow proper procedures, or the results of the BAC test are unreliable, a DUI lawyer may help a person arrested for a DUI fight the charges.

SILVER SPRING, Md. (WUSA) -- The Susan G. Komen Global Race for the Cure raises money for breast cancer and 75% of the grand total stays right in the DC area. One program that has seen the benefit from the race is a navigator program at the Muslim Community Center Medical Clinic in Montgomery County.
The clinic opened its doors in 2003 in Silver Spring, and since then has served the underserved. They take care of adults with little or no insurance or income.
It's not just about dollars and cents. The clinic also helps remove cultural, language and physical barriers that women face obtaining breast care. Every woman over 40, who comes to the clinic, is seen by Dr. Uma Ramahrish for breast and gynecological exams.
Dr. Ramahrish told us, "They have a hesitation to see men doctors. Culturally they don't want to complain and they don't want to say they have a problem."
If they do find out there is something wrong, the clinic has a patient navigator who will follow-up with step-by step support in the woman's native language. This position is funded by a grant from the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.
Patient Navigator Alexis Delos Santos said, "My job is to navigate the patients, tell them what to do next and help them with getting situated and helping them get the right treatment."
Many of the women Alexis sees already know the consequences of a late breast cancer diagnosis.
One patient told us that because of their cultural barriers her friend lost her battle to breast cancer back in their home country. Azaarnoosh Etamadr worked for a cancer organization in Iran. But said early detection was never as important there as it is in the United States.
Another patient, an immigrant from India, said even those who have the resources and means still don't get breast screenings.
At the Muslim Community Clinic, 43 doctors, nurses and other volunteer medical professionals provide care to this most vulnerable population.
It doesn't go with out thanks from their patients. But Dr. Ramahrish can only thank the Komen foundation because having the free services is the only way they can get the women to come in and get the care they need.

There are two texts of Scripture most commonly used to "disprove" the Assumption of Mary.

Description of this session from AIIM:
18 months ago, a Task Force of AIIM member companies worked with Futurist Geoffrey Moore to lay out a new vision for the industry and for enterprise IT (www.aiim.org/futurehistory). At the core of this vision was the interplay between Systems of Record (the legacy systems we all know well, based largely on documents), and the new emerging Systems of Engagement (built upon consumer, cloud, and social technologies, based largely on conversations). For many organizations, questions remain.
- How, exactly, do I get these consumer and cloud systems to connect with my back-end systems?
- How do I implement social and cloud technologies in my organization in such a way that I minimize risk?
- How do I allow my employees to use their own devices to access corporate systems and not lose control?
- How do I connect enterprise SaaS systems like Salesforce.com with my behind the firewall information systems?
AIIM President John Mancini will discuss the practical, next steps organizations have been taking to make this all come together. Attend this webinar and learn ways you can answer these questions for your own organization.
Have a question you'd like to see answered in this webinar? We'll do our best to include it during the live event.
This webinar is pre-approved for one AIIM Certified Information Professional (CIP) Certification Maintenance Program credit

ATLANTA - In a move that surprised parents and students, the administration of North Atlanta High School was ousted Friday afternoon, according to parents who emailed 11Alive News and an article on the school newspaper's website.
A letter signed by Atlanta's interim school superintendent Errol Davis released late Friday announced the decision to replace the school's entire administrative staff with a transitional staff.
The letter said interim principal Mark Mygrant and his entire administrative staff would be replaced until the newly-hired permanent principal, Dr. Howard Taylor begins serving in that post on October 29. Taylor has been a principal in the Gwinnett County School System.
A transitional administrative staff has been put in place, according to Davis' letter, which includes eight transitional "academy leaders" and a transitional assistant principal.
No word was given by Davis or his staff as to the reason for the abrupt change. Late Saturday afternoon, Davis' office said they would meet with North Atlanta High parents, students and members of the community Tuesday at 6 pm to discuss the transition and what he calls the "new direction" for the school.

Locals gathered on Thursday evening for a night of praise and worship.
The Fellowship of Christian Athletes held its annual fields of faith event on at the Meridian Community College soccer complex. The annual event is used to create awareness of ministry outreach and to expose students to the gospel of Jesus Christ, as told by their peers in all schools associated with the local FCA chapter in the Meridian area.
"It is basically focused on students sharing the message of whatever God has done in their lives with one another," Brandon Dewease with FCA says. "Because as adults, if we tell them what God's done, that's great. But as peer counseling, if they tell each other one to one what God has done, that's golden."
FCA is the largest christian sports ministry in the world.

Montrail Zealot Shoe Review
Montrail Zealot, $95
- Steep rock: 2.5 Star
- Face climbing: 4.5 Star
- Long routes: 2 Star
- Upper: Synthetic, lined
- Rubber: 4mm Gryptonite
As you would expect from a company that earned its reputation equipping trail runners, Montrail's Zealot is exceptionally well made. I've been wearing this bargain-priced Velcro shoe consistently since the summer and it hasn't bagged out or lost its shape. One of its standout features is its secure heel cup. "These shoes are totally locked on," raved one happy tester. The solid fit enhances foot power, and with a well-rubberized heel and upper the Zealot hooks and scums like a dream. But don't be suckered into thinking this is a shoe just for the steeps. With a firm midsole, the Zealot edges better than it smears. This is a great shoe for hard, gently overhanging terrain like Smith Rock or the VRG. One gripe: The elastic upper and low-volume fit make this shoe a struggle to enter the first few times you wear it.
+ Powerful face-climbing shoe that can also handle the steeps.
- Difficult entry. Hot in the sun.

Dear Editor:
It seems columnist Will Durst (March 12) is a self-appointed authority on denigrating the conclave of Cardinals, a 2,000-year-old tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, in an appalling attempt to elevate it to comedy. The humor escaped me amidst the blasphemous attacks and innuendos totally devoid of facts! I found it abhorrent!
Wold Durst have dared a comedic diatribe regarding a solemn Muslim rite? I think not!
It's only "open season" on Christians, specifically Catholics.
It's amazing how tolerance is touted as so necessary in the acceptance of liberal agendas, yet the same tolerance is found wanting for Christian and Conservative beliefs to the point of outright hostility and nastiness!
"By their fruits you shall know them." The "fruits" produced in the America I grew up in wrought character, self-discipline, dignity, manners, family life, patriotism, an adherence to Religious convictions and a true tolerance of differences, all born of a God-centered society. We are all painfully aware and woefully enduring the "fruits" produced over the past 50 years, where the seven capital sins have become a way of life and anyone unwilling to conform is considered intolerant.
Call me a cranky old lady, out of touch, or whatever you wish, but as an American and a Roman Catholic, my patriotism and faith have not changed in 71 years! I am so tired of being labeled a "conservative" by liberals to accommodate their need to change what previously existed and made America great, so as to justify their agendas which are so far removed from the core of beliefs of American values and Catholic teaching.
In Isaiah 5:20 it says, "Woe to those who call evil good and good evil ...." I dare say we've arrived! May God have mercy on us!

Special Report: Top 30 Ocean Carriers turn up the volume
October 08, 2010
In the school of hard knocks, the tough will survive. Those who prevail, however, are the ones who hit back harder. That's what shippers should be expecting from the Top 30 ocean carriers this year; and analysts are warning shippers that when it comes to contracting in 2011, the gloves are off.
Shippers saw evidence of this on October 1, when Mediterranean Shipping Co. (MSC) began increasing freight rates on its services between North America and Europe and the Mediterranean. The Geneva-based carrier, the second largest container shipping line, says that the general rate increases are necessary "to preserve the existing comprehensive range of services" and "to advance freight rates towards a sustainable level."
This blow was delivered just after MSC imposed a peak season surcharge on all shipments from the Far East to the U.S. East and West Coasts. However, MSC was hardly alone in making this move. Maersk Line—the largest carrier of U.S. imports— had warned shippers in mid-summer that it was going to impose a similar surcharge to ensure space in the Asia-U.S. trade lanes.

When I first started evaluating Zimbra about a year ago I looked at the pst import utility, but didn't have much luck with it. Most of our users have Outlook 2000, so there are at least a couple of extra steps to get this going, and it just didn't seem to be worth the effort. Our plan leading up to migration had been to use IMAP to copy email items, csv importing for Contacts, and ics importing for Calendar items. Now that we've done several migrations our plan seems to be working for the most part, but we've run into a couple of things that are making me reconsider the pst import utility. So, based on what we have seen so far here are my questions about the utility:
1) How well does it handle large .pst files? Some of our people use Outlook like a filing cabinet, and have say between 500 MB and 2 GB pst files.
2) How does the import utility handle special characters within folders? Keeping on the "filing cabinet" theme, many of our users have sub-folders, within sub-folders, within sub-folders, etc. Some of these sub-folders have special characters in the name, most specifically folders named for dates, using the "/" character.
3) How does resource utilization (local PC, server, and network) compare between the copying we are doing now, and the import utility? We are in a WAN environment and finding the copying of email items over the network to be kind of slow.

Beyond That Gives a Voice to Recovery
By Kathleen Vogtle, NAMI Communications Coordinator
'The healing power of music' is a phrase often heard in our modern vernacular. However for many, these are not just words, but a lived experience.
Meg Hutchinson is a testament to this. Since her debut album, Meg Hutchinson in 1996, she has produced eight albums, participated in an award-winning documentary For the Love of the Music: The Club 47 Folk Revival, and is currently working on a feature length documentary that, according to her website, "will explore many of the topics nearest and dearest to her heart: music, mental health, wellness, healing, spirituality, and how those elements converge in making the world a better place."
Hutchinson's previous albums have also addressed these topics, particularly that of mental health. Having lived with mental illness, her songs are unique in that they reflect her personal experience, which is clearly heard in her latest album, Beyond That.
Beyond That is comprised of songs that celebrate overcoming adversity, and invites listeners to look beyond the difficulties in their lives to the potential of the future.
Each of the 14 tracks possesses a reflective, peaceful quality. The songs tell of a person who acknowledges the trials and difficulties of the past, but who has learned that these experiences should not haunt them, as those trials have shaped the person they are today. The lyrics of the first track speak poignantly to this theme:
The entire album tells a story, beginning with an introduction and a reminder that these events are all in the past whilst acknowledging that the journey of recovery is a never-ending one.
The middle tracks are reminiscent of difficult times and a challenging start towards recovery.
However, Hutchinson invariably returns to her central theme, that recovery cannot be achieved without first understanding and forgiving yourself and the necessity of support and understanding from others. As such, her final tracks are steeped of appreciation for the world around her and reveal a growing inner peace. In the song "Everything More Beautiful," Hutchinson sings,
Hutchinson's work urges her listeners to never give up hope, even in life's darkest moments. Indeed, the album tells a powerful personal story on what it means to live with mental illness, a story listeners can easily connect with for strength and inspiration. For, as Hutchinson sings,

Bravo reveals: "Jeff and the crew are back for a 5th season and as usual, things are out of hand at the office.

Meet Gage, he is handling Jeff's business affairs, but also has a special relationship with the boss, making him even more invested in the work he's doing. Will Jeff and and Gage be able to maintain a good relationship, in and out of the office or will too much time together drive these two apart?"

I'am looking for a CMIS zimlet.
Somebody know if an ECM zimlet is CMIS compliant ?
StarXpert has developed a CMIS zimlet if you are interested. It is available at a cost of 1000 per year.
You can find out more about the zimlet on:
zimlet cmis
I know this is a old thread, but I was wondering if there is anyone that has made successfully contact with the StarXpert company? If so, is there anyone that could share an e-mail address from which I could expect an answer? I have tried numerous times, and I have tried to have a 3rd party contact them, but no response has been made... Is there any other CMIS zimlet alternatives?
# storole
It's weird you had no response.
I'm from StarXpert, so you can send me a PM with your contact informations, and I will investigate this matter.

COLLEGE PARK, Md. (WUSA) -- As kicker Brad Craddock lined up to attempt what many of the 40,000 fans at Byrd Stadium assumed was the game winner over North Carolina State Saturday, a member of the Terrapins sports department looked toward me and bellowed, "you're about to have a story tonight man."
Little did he know, Craddock was about to extract the life from the joint. One ding off the crossbar and that was that. Wolfpack 20, Terps 18. Randy Edsall dropped to 4-3 on the season and 6-13 overall.
But at College Park, it's a pleasant (insert the word solid if you like) beginning to year two of the Edsall regime. After all, just think back to the last twelve months. More than 20 players, including Quarterback Danny O'Brien opt to bolt, a 2011 two-win disaster, and multiple home games featuring disgruntled fans encouraging Edsall to rent, not buy in the DMV.
True, there are five games remaining. True, (on paper) losses to Florida State and Clemson seem unavoidable. True, no win from here on out is guaranteed with the team down to its third and fourth options at QB (I have eligibility left from my wayward days at Navy by the way!). True, Edsall's recruiting acumen will be tested in the coming months as Tate, Drakeford, Hartsfield, Vellano and Francis all graduate. And finally true, attendance at Byrd needs to get better than the current average of approximately 37,000 this season (last season's seven games were slightly above 42,000).
But, for all the shrapnel Edsall's taken in the last year, doesn't he deserve some praise now for putting a decent product on the field, despite devastating injuries at quarterback? This reporter says yes!

Global Port Tracker report calls for slow growth in 2011
February 22, 2011
A moderate increase in European import and export volumes is expected in 2011, according to the most recent edition of the Global Port Tracker Report published by 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.
For 2011, the report is calling for imports to be up 8.6 percent to hit slightly more than 23 million TEU and exports are expected to grow slightly less than 7 percent to 16.63 million TEU.
In its previous edition, Hackett and Bremen said that 2010 in its entirety is forecasted at 15.23 million incoming TEU and 15.72 outgoing TEU for 12.9 and 11.2 percent gains, respectively, over 2009. Total 2010 volume remains very close to previous projections of 37.38 million TEU, which is 12.5 percent higher than 2009's 33.22 million TEU.
For December, the most recent month for which data is available, the report noted that total container volumes for all surveyed ports were estimated to have decreased by 2.2 percent—or 66,000 TEU (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units)—to 3.00 million TEU from November and were up 4.2 percent compared to December 2009.
The Port Tracker report added that December imports were up about 2.7 percent from November and exports were down about 3.5 percent from November. Imports and exports were up 3.4 percent and 2.1 percent, respectively, from December 2009, with incoming volumes at 1.2 million TEU and outgoing volumes at 1.27 million TEU and the remaining 0.53 million representing empties.
Ben Hackett, president of Hackett Associates, said in an interview that January and February were likely to be down in terms of volume, due in part to the Chinese New Year, before picking up in March, adding that the first quarter should end up being stronger than the third or fourth quarters.
Even with increases expected, Hackett cautioned that austerity packages in place throughout European countries need to be monitored when it comes to assessing future growth, coupled with economic weakness for some southern European Union members and rising inflation.
When asked about capacity, Hackett said that there is more than enough capacity to handle European imports and exports, following a 2010 which saw carriers removing capacity in the third quarter of 2010 and then bringing it back in the fourth quarter, with some carriers again pulling capacity as volumes declined towards the end of 2010, which caused freight rates to drop as carriers tried to hold onto market share.
"There is more than enough capacity at the moment, as nobody has removed much the fourth quarter," said Hackett. "Excess capacity has been driving freight rates down a bit, too. There are no container or capacity shortages at this point."

WHEELING - Wheeling Park High School is in the market for a head wrestling coach after Sean Doyle stepped down Monday after five seasons.
Doyle said his resignation was accepted during the Ohio County Board of Education's regular meeting.
''I came upon another opportunity that was in line with my goals in coaching that I couldn't turn down,'' said Doyle, who declined to go farther into his destination at this time.
Doyle further said that while the timing of the move isn't the best, he's confident the administration at Wheeling Park will ''take the necessary steps to make sure the program is in good hands.''
Practice begins in two weeks and the OVAC's annual wrestling preseason press conference is next Monday at WesBanco Arena.
''It's definitely a top position,'' Doyle said. ''We have a tremendous wrestling family at Park from small fry up through the alumni.''
Whomever inherits the Patriots program will receive one with an embarassment of riches. Eleven of 12 starters return from a squad that finished second at last season's Ron Mauck OVAC Championships and the inaugural OVAC Duals, and fifth at the state meet in Huntington.
''It will be a lot of fun to watch their pursuit of an OVAC championship and a state championship,'' Doyle said ''It will be a bit of a bummer that I won't be coaching them.''
Doyle took over the Park program from Gene Monteleone in 2008.
''That was a fun year,'' Doyle, who competed at Buckeye Local and Cornell, recalled. ''We had a dynamic group of kids and made a strong run at a state championship when we weren't expected to give it a run.''
Doyle led the Patriots to two straight OVAC tournament crowns in 2008 and 2009, the first being an overall championship.
At state, the Patriots finished second twice and in the top-5 four out of his five seasons.
All told, Doyle helped tutor seven state champions and a plethora of athletes who made it to the awards stand at Big Sandy Superstore Arena.
''The kids that have graduated and went to college, like Kyle Bauer at Kent State, that is my goal, to prepare them for that,'' he said.

I just wanted to make sure this was the newer suit that has the integrated silicone seal system, which makes changing the seals a quick 5 minute process.
I would like to know how scuba.com says they have sizes that the manufacturer doesnt list they have. I found on your website this drysuit I like but for some reason this is the only site that actually lists plus sizes.
The size chart you provided was for the womans not the mens, I did find the mens but like I said there isnt anything on there about XXL SHORT. where are you getting the documentation on those sizes because they are not on the charts you referenced as well as none of the charts on waterproofs website
Since the website is displaying the wrong sizes for the waterproof d10 drysuit, what are the actual sizes available to order for the mens section.
I havent seen any info on the "WP integrated quick seal" do you have a link for more info, also this will be my first dry suit. I seen that the new ISS system has the neck seal just like the wrist seals. In your opinion how often do neck seals need to be replaced, and if this suit doesnt have the ISS system who can replace the neck seal when needed? Can a regular person do it, local dive shop, or has to be sent to manufacturer. Thanks for the other quick responses.
Hello Mike, here is the link: http://www.waterproof.eu/products/drysuits/d10%20pro%20iss/. Then look over on the suit it will come up with different places you can click on to find out more about the suit. Also you would send it to an Authorized Dealer for warranty issues on the suit.
Loaded with features this suit brings it all. Si Tech ring systems with exchangable silicone seals at wrists and neck that you can change in a matter of minutes. Kevlar reinforced and angled boot, zip armoured dry zipper, warm cuff system, warm neck, real rubber kneepads, embossed panels, PU-reinforced shoulders and double pockets to mention a few.

Game Boy Advance games, like Mario Kart Short Circuit, aren't quite running at full speed yet—about 60% of normal speed with sound or 90% without—but Game Boy and Game Boy Color games work just fine, and, as they say, emulators can't be choosers.
The VisualBoyAdvance for WebOS project only started two weeks ago, so hopefully updates and improvements will be quick to follow. As shown in the video, the emulator can already switch between portrait and landscape and supports custom skinning.

Item # QRQ0010
Don't worry though, we have a lot more Powermeter Cranksets - Road in stock than that.View Similar Products
Quarq Elsa BB30 Powermeter Crankset $0.00
It could easily be argued that if you're not training with power, you're simply not training. At this point, the success of power-based training and racing is irrefutable. And now that Quarq's thrown the rule book out the window with its new Elsa BB30, the aforementioned becomes more of a fact than an assertion.
For Quarq's 'next wave of powermeters,' we see a complete redesign over the Cinqo, with an emphasis placed on three key issues -- weight, accuracy, and ease of use. And starting with weight, the Elsa features SRAM's Exogram Hollow Carbon crankarms found on the latest iteration of SRAM RED. You'll also find SRAM's RED Powerglide chainrings from one model back. But, as the name implies, the cranks feature a hollow construction. However, what isn't inferred is that the hollow cross-section design extends all the way to the new spider, creating SRAM's stiffest and lightest crank ever. In fact, the complete system tips the scales around 735 grams in a GXP format, leading us to believe that this BB30 iteration weighs even less. For some perspective, the newest RED crankset weighs around 585 grams, and the last Quarq RED Exogram powermeter weighed 830 grams. So, the Elsa is sitting in a rather respectable position.
Elsa's innovation didn't stop at the crankarms. For a rigid crankarm attachment, the Elsa uses a newly designed, CNC-machined aluminum spider. Now, all of the data-collecting electronics, and the system's battery, is housed in the spider. Quarq is calling this OmniCal, but you can call it liberating. OmniCal enables the powermeter system to collect data independent of the chainrings. So, you can swap out rings for without affecting the accuracy of the system. And speaking of accuracy, the Elsa powermeter system operates on the powerful ANT+ wireless system with an expressed accuracy of +/- 1.5% -- an accuracy improvement over the Cinqo Saturn's +/- 2%. Even more impressive is a new feature that we've only been witness to on pedal-based powermeter systems, Power Balance. This means that the Elsa is capable of capturing individual readings for the right and left drive strokes. So, you can measure the your balance of power and adjust your training accordingly.
Choosing the Elsa also provides you with several advantages over other systems. Our favorite has to be its ease of use. Along these lines, Quarq has remedied a common frustration to powermeters, setup. Now, the Elsa's ANT+ ID is clearly visible and there's an LED indicator in order to make the setup a simplified affair. Another game-changing perk is the ability to change the system battery yourself. Unlike SRM Powermeter systems that require you to mail in your crankset for battery swap-outs, the Elsa features a tool-less user replaceable CR2032 cell battery. And don't worry, with a predicted 300 hours of ride time per battery, you won't have to be changing it too often. This means more time in the saddle and no need for backup cranksets.
The Quarq Elsa BB30 Powermeter Crankset is available in the color Black and in both a 50/34 and 53/39 tooth chainring configuration. Also, the crankarms are available in 170, 172.5, and 175mm lengths for both the compact and standard options. Please note that this version of the Elsa is only compatible with BB30 bottom brackets systems, which are not included with the powermeter. Also, Quarq states that the Elsa is officially compatible with SRAM's RED, Force, Rival, and Apex front derailleurs. For CPU pairings, the Elsa is compatible with any ANT+ equipped head unit.

Will this accept Rotor Aero/TT Q rings?
will this crankset work with 2014 Cervelo S5 with Sram force 22 groupset?
Thanks for the question. The BB30 SRAM cranks will work, but because of the BB- Right, you sometimes need additional spacers from Cervelo to make it work. Unfortunately we don?t carry these but you can get these from your local Cervelo dealer easily.
Give me a shout if you want to order and I would be happy to expedite the order.

Does it work with Ultegra or only SRAM? I have a 2013 Argon18 E116, 11 speed. If not, which Quarq model fits with Ultegra?
This is the BB30 model. You will need the GXP model for the Argon frame- Part number - QRQ0009
Is the compatable with a 2009 Cervelo P3C? I'm not positive which BB I have. I think it might predate the BB30.
The 2009 P3C should be a standard English bottom bracket, which means that you would want to purchase the GXP version.
11-speed compatible?
Yes, This one was designed for 11spd but will work for 10 spd as well. Give me a shout if I an help you with an order.

Along with shoes, Giro saw the need for better insoles. They so liked the results of their insole design work that they're selling them as an after-market accessory, the SuperNatural Fit Kit. Their goals were to make their insoles more comfortable for a wide range of foot types, and that they'd offer enough adjustability to perhaps negate the need for investing in custom insoles.
One of the few benefits of the wafer-thin insole that many shoe companies supply with shoes is that it is wafer thin. No bulk in what is an extremely close-fitting shoe is most often a good thing. This keeps the ball of the foot very close to the sole and in turn the pedal spindle, minimizing stack height, and it keeps the heel very low in the heel cup, maximizing the cup's ability to hold the heel down. Giro started with these two benefits and added one of the benefits of custom insoles; arch support. Arch support, is critical for cycling comfort. When the leg pushes down on the foot, the arch can flex, which can lead to shoe movement, which can lead to alignment issues, to the foot moving in the shoe, to developing hot spots.
Another benefit of custom and semi-custom insoles is a "metatarsal button" that provides greater mid-foot comfort. Giro has included a subtle button as they've found wide variation in individual rider's ability to find such a feature comfortable.
The base of the insole is a thin layer of EVA foam. It's thick enough that normal use of the insoles will help to customize, or tune, or crush some of the EVA so that you'll see divots in the foam after a few rides. This will increase the surface area of contact points, which should increase comfort, but the EVA is secondary to the three arch supports that come with each insole.
There is a small, medium, and large arch. They can be easily and quickly swapped in and out. The small maintains the contour of the insole itself. The medium adds 3mm to the arch compared to the small. The large adds another 3mm beyond the medium. These are easy to use. First, in either bare or thinly-socked feet, place the support under your foot. Try different sizes until you find one that seems snug against your foot. You want it close because you don't want your arch acting like a leaf-spring each pedal stroke. Figure out the size. Ride. Adjust if necessary.
The insoles are covered with X-Static fabric. The name is familiar because you've already seen Giro and others use it in helmet pads. It's a silver, the mineral, fiber that is bonded to a polyester fabric to make the fabric anti-microbial, anti-stink.
You'll see that each size of the Giro SuperNatural Fit Kit fits a number of size shoes. These are "trim to fit" insoles and there's a cutting guide underneath each insole, but your best bet is to either compare it to your stock insole or shove it inside your shoe before commencing on any alterations.

Next best thing to custom insoles
No bulk in the toe area, three different arch heights, and the ability to use a different height in each shoe if needed. Have not had a problem with overheating. A no-brainer.
About Time
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: 42.5
Finally, a shoe company that is thinking about one of the most important parts of the shoe…the footbed. These have been great for me since my arches are slightly different - I use the red on my right foot and the orange on my left. I hope other shoe companies will follow Giro's path in paying more attention to the "whole product."
great value
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I've owned a few different Giro shoes and i like the customized fit of their insoles so much that I recommend them for customers. Solid buy.
Great value
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I wear a SIDI wire vent shoe in size 43. The stock insoles do not accommodate my mid-rise arch. I have used the Specialized medium insole and found that to be better. The Giro insoles need less trimming to fit, at least for the SIDI 43 - just follow the line. Good support and I like being able to try the other arch options. They even come with an Extra high option that I have not seen with Specialized. Also provides the ability to have different arch heights if required for each foot. I have not ridden in extremely hot weather yet but so far no ventilation issues. I would purchase again and recommend others to try them, especially if you find your current insole lacking.
Just what I needed
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
For those of us with odd or problematic feet we search for relief from our various ailments. The particular benefits for me is the metatarsal button which relieves a painful spot under the ball of my right foot. And the interchangeable arch supports. I use a medium on the right and a small on the left. Finally being able to "tune" an insole has been great.
Installation of these in my Bont Vapor shoes took 92 seconds of effort.
Not sure if you have been to Podiatrist for your foot pain, but I recently went after have the same problem of pain in the ball of my foot and I was diagnose with a Morton's Neuroma. I am waiting to have surgery until riding season is over. I am going to try these insoles to get me through.
Great alternative to Superfeet
I have typically used black superfeets for insoles and they have worked well. I wanted more arch support than what was in the Superfeet, but I would have to compromise and get an insole that was thicker in the superfeet to have adequate arch support. With these, I can fine tune the arch support and still keep the thin insole.
I also use Giro shoes, so it was a no brainer and fitting these insoles in their own shoes were perfect, not that trimming for other shoes would be an issue.
Changing the arch support is easy and the velcro holds the support in place and doesn't move.
I had foot pains with the stock insoles, but have had no pains during 15-20 mile mountain bike rides. Time will tell on how comfortable they are during longer rides, but initial impressions are great!
Nice inserts
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I had to replace them when I threw my last pair in the dryer (bad idea, by the way). Nice insert to help keep me in the saddle for 100+ mile rides. These are quality inserts - highly recommended (even if they can't be dried).
Worth every penny
I have a pair of Fizik R3 shoes that fit quite well, but I was having foot pain on longer rides. My feet are pretty normal, if a touch wide, but my arches have gotten fairly high after a few years of wearing low-support/minimal shoes. I dropped these insoles in, with the highest-support attachment, since that's what I use in my Giro mountain shoes. I rode about 50 miles in them today, with virtually no foot pain.
The arch-size inserts attach using a double velcro, and I've never had it slip in my mountain shoes, and don't expect it to in these. You can trim them to fit fairly easily by matching your shoes' insole to the Giro version, drawing a line, and getting after it with some scissors.
Thanks for the great write up Brian. I need a good insole for sure.
Hello, I am looking for foodbed for my...
I am looking for foodbed for my boyfriend. His feet got hurt when he walks more often, especially at the heel. Do you think this product can help hm? Can this product fit inside every kind of shoes? He wear size 9, can you teld me what size of the foodbed I should buy
I use these. http://www.powersteps.com/
You have to take out the inner shoe sole that comes with the shoe to get them to fit. Most shoes you can easily remove them. Some are glued. These will help if you have plantae fasciaitis or other arch pain.

BETHESDA, Md. (WUSA9) -- Millions of people around the world, Catholic and non-Catholic, are watching the mysterious process of picking the next Pope.
At the Woods Academy in Bethesda, school kids are engaged in what they're calling a "Sweet Sistine." It's their own exercise in "Papal bracketology."
Give a group of young American Catholics a minute and some will likely raise questions about the process. "It's kind of sexist that (women) should not be able to be Pope," says student Caitlin Grant. "Because we should have equal rights as men."
The 8th grade religion students donned the Cardinal's red caps, studied some of the Papabile, the potential Popes and then engaged in their own conclave in the chapel.
They failed to pick one of their favorite teachers on the first ballot. "You are starting to think about who is electable and who you like," teacher Chris Maloney told them.
They quickly figured out the fine art of compromise that seems such a challenge for Washington politicians. "I chose as supreme pontiff Linda Cardinal Hardy," 2/3s of the students said on the second ballot.
Never heard of her? She's a favorite female guidance counselor and religion teacher at Woods, an independent Catholic school.
It took the kids just a few minutes, but the Cardinals are likely to take longer -- but not too long. The last papal conclave to last more than five days was in 1831.
"I just love the idea that these guys are thinking critically," said teacher Maloney.
And if it has to be a man, Caitlin Grant favors the African frontrunner, Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana.
For up-to-the-minute updates from Bruce Johnson, follow him on Twitter @brucejohnson9 as well as at wusa9.com. To get papal text alerts on your phone, text the word POPE to 25543.

I've had the SOL Titanium for a couple seasons now. It's been a good stove at all sort of elevations and temps for me. The only thing I don't care for about the stove is the lid comes off pretty easy if your not careful packing it or lashing it down with a rubber band or something similar. I kind of wish the lid design would lash down a bit better for packing. Other than that it's an awesome stove.
I use the smaller one that will pack inside the cup with everything else.
1 small cannister of fuel is good enough for a 8 - 10 day hunt above 11,500 ft. This use is based on morning and evening cooking with 14 ounces of water. Still had some fuel left on a couple occasions.
"This is A Way of Life"
Used my Titanium this year and I averaged one 100g canister per week of use. That was with two uses a day. Great stove. All my time was between 8500-10500 ft.
I picked up a Zip last year and used it quite a bit. Longest trip was eight days, three to four boils a day.
Has anyone else had a problem with the little push button igniter on the jetboils? Mine has never worked and I always use a lighter.
If we did a video comparing models would you guys be interested?
Yes ScottR, and I have to ask......are you guys using these while in the mountain only? Or back at basecamp as well.

WNHAC's Master Plan, 20 Years Later
April 28, 2013
WHEELING — Inside the yellowing three-ring binder that contains the 20-year-old Interpretive Master Plan for the Wheeling Heritage Area is a glimpse at what Wheeling's residents then believed the......
The broadcast and stage presentation of The Wheeling Jamboree (then known as Jamboree USA) was nearly lost forever when in December 2005 (Belkin Entertainment - Clear Channel) "Live Nation" (former owners of Wheeling's Landmark Capitol Theatre) were in corporate transition when the weekly production of the Jamboree live show fell victim to the events surrounding these changes. Immediately the current operators of the Wheeling Jamboree formed the present organization to rescue and preserve the original format and integrity of the weekly Saturday Jamboree show. It has NOT left Wheeling - Wheeling has left it.

Hef:yes the key anchor was JUSA which was turned away.Once that error occured the rest fell apart. Boss:yes there is no inventory of historic structures to reuse now. As an example:the Victorian House Tours depended on patrons of the Jamboree for their traffic.When the Jamboree was turned away,the Tours died out. There is no Downtown tourism now.The occasional festivals are mainly locals. There has not been growth or job creation Downtown for the huge-tens of millions-invested.Just a few have benefitted. The biggest single error was turning away the private plan to revive JUSA in the mid 1990's.The non profits wanted to control the Capitol and Downtown.Now they have nothing but an empty City to control.
WVIH has been,is ,and will be a State financed museum operated by the WVDCH.
The question is:who was responsible for all this squandering?

To pretend that Wheeling is worthy of a tour is as absurd today as it was twenty years ago, actually, more so. Wheeling died the day the music died. Across the airwaves Wheeling became something it wasn't. Listening to Lee Moore, " the coffee drinking night owl" on WWVA or the Saturday night WWVA Jamboree, could put stars in a country family's eyes, however, the reality was less than the dream, and sadly, the people of Wheeling have never come to understand that. There're few who remain who have any recollection of Wheeling at all, and those who see it today cannot imagine that it was ever anything. Rest in peace Wheeling, you have barely outlived the legend you perceived yourself to be.

How can anyone tour "historic" Wheeling when they keep tearing down more each year? Historic empty lots? "look here that used to be a great asset of early Wheeling". I can hear the tour guide now. :-(

The goal of the huge Federal investment for this project was job creation and adaptive reuse of the Downtown buildings.JUSA was to be the anchor for tourism.(1.)The proposal for JUSA was turned away.The Capitol is mostly dark now.It does not bring in the tours as before.(2.) The buildings have mostly been demolished now at huge public expense.(3.)Most of the Downtown busnesses(eg MH&M,Beckers st al) were run out by the City as a part of this project.Few retailers remain (4.)There was no job creation.In fact the project has resulted in job losses. There is no significant Downtown tourism. The project has been a massive squandering of Federal funds with no positive results or benefits to the City in terms of growth or job creation. Let's not pretend this has worked.It has failed in a big way.Folks take a look around at Downtown.Very little remains now.
