The life of the Untouchables or Dalits (the oppressed) as they preferred to be called, is to live in grinding poverty and violence, especially in the rural areas of India.
Dr. Ambedkar won a scholarship from Columbia University in New York and the London School of Economics, at a time when few Dalits could read or write. When he returned to India, he was shocked to realize that he was still considered Untouchable, and devoted the rest of his life to advocate for Dalits.
"The Dalits may live in the world's largest democracy, but their lives are shaped by a system of sanctified apartheid." Carla Power
Discrimination based on caste has been illegal since 1947, but little has changed for the Dalits, especially in the rural areas.
Against all odds, some Dalits have been able to rise to prominence. Among them are K.R. Narayanan, president from 1997 to 2002. A Dalit woman, Mayawati, is the current chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, India's largest state. She heads her own political party, the BSP.
Meira Kumar, a Dalit woman, was elected unanimously as the first woman Speaker in the lower house of Parliament, where she will preside over 543 elected members. She is a lawyer and diplomat and was elected to the parliament a total of five times while having served as a cabinet minister at the Ministry of Social Justice and Empowerment from 2004-2009.
As India takes her place amongst the world's superpowers, there are many indications that this centuries-old oppression will start to change as education becomes more available, and as globalization changes the economic landscape of India.

Though your baby is beginning to develop in so many positive ways, certain sleep problems may start to crop up near the first birthday. These are often due to your baby's increased awareness of "separateness" from you. Stranger anxiety and separation anxiety are two normal stages of development that can occur during this time, and they can interfere with much-needed nighttime sleep for you and your baby.
This may mean tears and tantrums when you try to leave your child in the crib at night — and more sleep interruption when your baby wakes up and looks around for some sign that you're near. This is also the age when night terrors can appear. These can be more "terrifying" for the parent than the baby if you're not sure what is happening.
It can be difficult to respond to your 8- to 12-month-old's nighttime needs with the right balance of concern and consistency, but remember: This is the time to set the stage for future restful nights for the whole family. The important thing now is to try to keep the sleep experience a positive one for your baby and to be consistent with your response to wakefulness at night.
While the average amount of sleep per day at this age is 13 to 14 hours, the range of normal is still quite wide at this stage.
Your baby is probably still taking two naps a day — one in the morning and another sometime after lunch. The average length of a nap now is about 1 hour. Some babies will nap 20 minutes, others a few hours. Naps help prevent your baby from becoming too cranky to sleep well at night, so it is important that they be long enough.
This is the age when your baby may start resisting taking naps because he or she doesn't want to be away from you, but naps will help your little one (and you) enjoy the waking hours more. The key is to be as consistent as possible with nap times and your approach to putting your child in the crib.
By this age, most babies are rolling over and picking a comfortable position for sleep. Your baby will move around a lot during the course of a night's rest!
Night terrors can begin at this age, so don't be surprised if your baby starts screaming and crying in the middle of the night and nothing you do seems to help. Night terrors are different from nightmares. Night terrors occur during the deep part of sleep and although they may seem worrisome to you, your baby is actually still asleep — even if your baby's eyes are open — and has no idea that he or she is crying. Make sure that your baby is safe and he or she will eventually quiet down. Nightmares usually start around 3 to 4 years of age and children wake up from them feeling scared.
When your baby wakes up in the night and cries for you, remember not to reward this behavior or it may continue for a long time. Reassure your baby quietly that you're there, but then send the message that he or she needs to go back to sleep. The best bet may be a soothing pat on the back, a repositioning of the blanket, and a quick exit. If you are firm and consistent about requiring your baby to put herself or himself back to sleep, this stage should pass pretty quickly.
Of course, during these middle-of-the-night "visits" with your baby you'll want to rule out illness or a very soiled diaper. If you do need to change your baby, remember not to turn on too many lights and to keep interaction to a minimum.
Always keep safety in mind. Make sure your crib meets current safety standards. Don't put anything in the crib that can interfere with your baby's breathing — stuffed animals, blankets, or soft pillows can fall on a baby's face and block breathing. Although bumper pads are widely used, their safety has been questioned. One study from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission found a number of accidental deaths appeared to be related to the use of bumper pads in cribs and bassinets. The Canadian Pediatric Society has recommended against the use of bumper pads since 2004. If you do use bumpers, it's best to use the kind that secure at the top and bottom. Also, avoid items with ties or ribbons that can wrap around a baby's neck, and objects with any kind of sharp edge or corner.
If you use bumpers, remove them once your baby is pulling up using the sides of the crib. Bumpers can give your baby a dangerous "leg up" for climbing out of the crib and falling. Babies can also get tangled in hanging mobiles, so remove them as well. Don't forget to look around for the things that your baby can touch from a standing position in the crib. Wall hangings, pictures, draperies, and window blind cords are potentially harmful if left within your baby's reach.
Your child is attached to you and doesn't like to be away from you, but try to handle nighttime "detachment" the same way you manage separation anxiety during the day (for example, when you leave your child with a babysitter). Follow your usual bedtime routine with an extra hug and kiss, let your baby know that you will see him or her soon, and make a quick exit.
If your baby has a favorite toy or blanket that you feel is safe to have in the crib, it can be left for comfort. This is when "transitional" objects become important to babies. They help your baby transition from being with you most of the time to having some time away from you and becoming more independent.
Try leaving your baby's door open so he or she can hear your activity in the next room. This may help your little one feel less alone. If your child keeps on crying and calling for you, a few words of reassurance from the bedroom door ("Mommy's right here but it's time for you to go to sleep now") and another quick exit may do the trick. Try to lengthen the time between these personal appearances until — at long last — your baby is asleep.
Teething pain is a common reason for sleep problems at this age, and your doctor may be able to suggest some ways to relieve your baby's discomfort.
Call the doctor if your baby can't be consoled or seems to be irritable day after day because of interrupted sleep. Perhaps there is an illness involving no other symptoms besides sleeplessness, or maybe your doctor can help you find ways to enhance your nighttime routine with your child.

View Cruises that visit this port
Savor the distinctive cuisine and signature beverages of Catalonia by taking a hands-on cooking class, sampling the area's wines and cavas, and visiting a farm that has been operating since the 16th-century.
Day 1:
After flying into the Barcelona airport, you will transfer to your hotel. During check-in, you will be given tickets for the "Hop On Hop Off" tour bus. The tickets are valid only for one day to use on whichever day you wish.
As guests will be arriving at different times, the remainder of this day is at your leisure, and dinner is on your own.
NOTE: the closest Hop on Hop Off station to your hotel is approximately a 15 minute walk.
Day 2:
After meeting the group in the hotel reception area, you will enjoy a short but panoramic drive to another part of Barcelona. Here, you will walk along the famed, shop-lined Las Ramblas Boulevard and through the vibrant La Boqueria food market. As you meander about the stalls and shops, you will see a seemingly endless array of fresh fish, meats, cheeses, and fruits and vegetables.
Continuing on with your guide, you will then meet a local expert on gastronomy at the Santa Caterina Market, the largest such market in Barcelona where he/she will purchase all the necessary ingredients to prepare a traditional Spanish meal. Expect the ingredients to be fresh, flavorful and representative of Spanish cuisine.
Then, it's off to a nearby venue, where you will participate in a hands-on cooking workshop and prepare an authentic Spanish meal that includes paella. Once the dishes are ready, you will enjoy them for lunch before returning to the hotel. The remainder of the day is at your leisure to do whatever you please.
Day 3:
Today, you will have the opportunity to assist (optional) in the preparation of a human tower called a "castell," which is usually built by local citizens for annual festivities. The towers are often six to ten people high with the participants standing on each other's shoulders.
You may form part of the bottom level, as being in the higher levels takes more practice and skills. In fact, the tower-building methods are usually so involved that they are handed down from generation to generation. Castells are so emblematic of the Catalan culture that UNESCO has recognized them on its Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity list.
Please note: if Day 3 falls on a Sunday, you will assist in building the human tower in the morning (the venue may be crowded), and lunch will be included before returning to Barcelona. If Day 3 falls on a weekday, you will assist at a training session of a human tower display in a local association in the evening, and dinner will be included.
Day 4:
The day's activities begin by driving to Montserrat, where you will visit a 12th-century monastery built into the mountain. Besides learning all sorts of interesting facts about the monastery, you will see the statue of La Moreneta, the Black Madonna, which has supposedly performed numerous miracles. Consequently, pilgrims have been coming for centuries to see the wooden Black Madonna.
While at the monastery, you may also meander about the grounds and visit the Royal Basilica and Museum of Montserrat, whose collection holds works by Picasso, Dalí and Monet.
Later, you will enjoy a 3 course traditional Catalan lunch of locally grown products at a 10th-century farm - Oller del Mas, which formerly belonged to the Oller family, many knights, nobles and also craftsmen. Afterwards, you will have the chance to tour the farm, the castle, the vineyard and wine cellar where you will discover the many stages of wine production, from the first pressing of the grapes to fermentation in the cellars. Afterwards, you will sample some of the products including local cheese and then drive to Barcelona to embark on the ship.
Land Program Step by Step: The order of sites visited may vary to avoid congestion. The times are approximate, given here only for general reference and are subject to change. Markets in Spain are closed on Sundays, so if Day 2 falls on a Sunday then the days will be reversed to accommodate all aspects of the tour.

Anyone used the Exped DownMat? Air mattress with goose down.
Anyone used the Exped DownMat? Air mattress with goose down.
The downmat from exped is a great piece if you are looking to stay the warmest at cold temps. The only thing that I am not a fan of is the weight of it. You are at 44 ounces for that pad, pretty heavy but with a R value of 8 you are not gonna do any better. If you still wanted a insulated pad but at a fraction of the weight the NeoAir from thermarest is the way to go. The regular length weights only 14 oz. and has a R value of 2.5. Both great pads just depends if you want more warmth. hope this helps
I've had GREAT luck out of a the NeoAir from Cascasde designs. The pad is amazing. Under 15 oz for the long size. Not very wide, but very comfortable and lightweight.
I have the Exped Synmat 7. It is well insulated and comfy. It is a bit heavy but packs small. Also, a bit noisy when moving around. The price was right at the time.

Enhanced for Bible Study using the Resource Guide
Available for: iPad, iPhone, Android, Mac, Windows Desktop and Windows Store.
Peter and Jude, the apostles who wrote these letters, speak against the deceptive messages that other so-called Christians—false prophets—were spreading. They encourage believers to hold fast to the Gospel they were originally given instead of listening to the ungodly, who "by stealth" enter the church and distort God's grace. These messages, rooted in an underlying belief in the absolute truth of God, take a strong stance against the individualistic, relativistic atmosphere of today's world. Douglas J. Moo (Ph.D., University of St. Andrew's, Scotland) focuses on applying the messages of Peter and Jude to modern day life without forgetting what it meant to its first readers in this volume of the NIV Application Commentary.
Many Bible commentaries offer us an exciting tour through the ancient world of Biblical times. They give us cultural backdrop and add new, wonderful layers of meaning to familiar stories and passages. But when the time comes to return to normal, everyday life, we are left disconnected from the memories of our trip—without the knowledge of practical, real-life application. This is where the NIV Application Commentary series picks up the task. It merges the original, ancient context with right now, showing us both how ancient readers would have read the Bible and how we can connect to this living word of God from a modern context. Most importantly, however, it helps us begin the life-changing process of true application, showing how God's word can continue to have a powerful voice in our lives today.
The NIV Application Commentary uses a highly accessible, three-tiered method of bringing readers to a fuller understanding of each Biblical book. Original Meaning will explore a book's meaning in light of its historical and cultural context. Bridging Contexts, as its name implies, will help the reader link the text's original meaning to its Contemporary Significance—the final tier that helps you apply the Bible to everyday life.
"This series promises to become an indispensable tool for every pastor and teacher who seeks to make the Bible's timeless message speak to this generation."
-Billy Graham
"It takes more than interpretation of God's Word to change lives, it takes application.
Application is the bottom line in preaching and teaching. Without it, we've missed the point of the Bible. The NIV Application Commentary is an outstanding resource for pastors and anyone else who is serious about developing 'doers of the Word.'"
-Rick Warren, Pastor of Saddleback Valley Community Church

Oral History Interview with James William Harrison, January 27, 2005
Date: January 27, 2005
Creator: Parish, Brainerd & Harrison, James William
Description: Interview with James William "Bill" Harrison, a serviceman in the U. S. Navy during World War II. He explains how he joined the navy in San Diego without going to boot camp. He worked on an oil tanker that shipped out to Pearl Harbor a month after the attack there and transported fuel out of San Diego to various ships at sea. He was then transfered to Admiral Nimitz's public relations department. There he and two others wrote stories about the action in the Pacific theater, particularly about the Battle of Midway. They also contributed to a radio show and worked with the national press corps. He then worked at the Naval Air Station in Seattle before traveling to Hilo, Hawaii to meet with soldiers who had returned from Tarawa. In Texas, he attended officer training school and college at Southwestern University. After the war ended, he studied at the University of Texas and University of Oklahoma for law school. He recalls an incident in which his office released a story about a cat that had kittens on board a cruiser; they reported this good news from the Pacific prior to the Battle of Midway. He also met Admirals Nimitz ...

When the going gets too steep and deep for a Rocky-Mountain sheep, strap on the MSR Evo Ascent Snowshoe and stay on top of winter alpine conditions. The Evo Ascent features an ultra-aggressive traction system that's designed for backcountry adventures over rugged, uneven terrain.
- Integrated, side-mounted Unibody Traction Rails grip ice and provide stability over uneven ground—aggressive tooth cut provides more traction than MSR's other Evo models
- Pivot Crampon shares a rotating hinge with your binding to provide secure traction regardless of your foot position or the angle of terrain
- PosiLock AT bindings employ three foot straps and a heel strap to provide all-weather, glove-friendly stability while also accommodating a wide range of footwear
- The Televator heel lift system reduces calf fatigue, conserves energy, and improves traction when traveling uphill—intuitive design engages in seconds with a simple flick of your pole
- Optional modular Flotation Tail (5-inch connector piece) allows you to custom-tailor your footprint size to match trail conditions—attach it when expecting powder, or leave it off for hardpack (sold separately)

Great for Snowboarding
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love these! Great in slush, hard pack, and powder. The heel lift is awesome for going up steep slopes and they are lightweight for throwing on your pack on the way down. I've beaten them up pretty good and they have held their own. The plastic gets dinged up, but no cracks and the straps are very durable. They are still ready for another season.

hey, im thinking on getting the evo Ascent and just want to make sure my boot will fit in the binding. i have the La Sportiva EVO GTX in size 45 1/2 or 11UK or 12USM if this helps
I don't think you'll have any problem at all...
Hi! Which would be better for backcountry...
Hi! Which would be better for backcountry snowboardtrips: Evo ascent, Lightning ascent og Lightning axis? We get all kinds of snow conditions where I live. I'm 100kg + snowboard and gear, and wear size 12 snowboard boots.
Bindings are the same on the EVO and the Lightning Ascent, so no real issue there. (This binding is superior... so I would not be interested in the Lightning Axis). Keeping just those two in mind...size is about the same. Ability to use tails is also available on both.
So what you're really comparing is the structure of the shoe itself. The EVO is plastic with just a little bit of metal crampon attachments. The Lightning is all metal around the entire frame--much less flexibly and more durable.
Also, I think the Lightning comes in sizes whereas the EVO apparently does not. If you weight all your gear and yourself, the Lightning will give you the chance to get just the right size with/without the extra float tails.
I own the lighting ascent shoes and was holding the evos in my hand this morning (a friends).
So... a long winded way of saying spring for the Lightning Ascents. Be happy and don't look back.

Any issues with snow flipping up from the tails and sliding down your neck/back?
Hi Michael,
Since these snowshoes pivot while being used, that prevents the issue of the "snow flinging" you shouldn't have any issues with that.
I've used these quite a bit and have not had that issue. The bindings are on a pivot hinge system, so the platform doesn't spring back into place like some snowshoes that use a tension or twist system.
As mentioned, there is no spring to these so they will only flip if you break into a run. These aren't really built for running so it should be a non issue. I only did it clowning around.
The down side to the hinge system is you have to be more considerate when trying to back up or turn in certain terrain because the who will hang. This is a bit inconvenient when wearing the float extensions.
Has anyone used these along with Scarpa...
Has anyone used these along with Scarpa mountaineering boots? Specifically the Scarpa Phantom Guides or the Phantom 6000?
Jared Downs, Gearhead
What specifically are you looking for in terms of compatibility with the Phantom Guides or Phantom 6000?
These bindings are identical to the MSR Lightning Ascent's. If you have a specific question about these bindings let me know. I've used these bindings with the following footwear:
Burton Snowboard Boots
Scarpa Inverno Mountaineering Boot
Merrell ???? GTX (Regular 3-Season Hiking Boots)
Let me know!
Jared D.
800.409.4502 ext 4055
I just want to make sure that the boot will fit correctly in the bindings and that there are no issues with snagging on the built in gaiters on the phantom 6000. If it helps, my boot size is a 47.
Jared Downs, Gearhead
That is totally worth asking, more than glad to help provide some ease of mind for you.
The Scarpa Phantom 6000 will work great with these bindings / shoes and you should have zero problems with snagging on the built in gators. I use a variety of footwear / gators / pants with my MSR Lighting Ascents (same bindings) and have zero troubles with snagging on any material or boot.
Jared D.

Thanks! I think that you helped me make up my mind. Looks like I'll be picking up these snowshoes soon.
Very durable, great mtn hiking option
Love these. Light and easy to adjust with mittens on. Used them to climb Mt. Elbert over varied terrain, including some careful walking over short rocky sections where the snow had been scoured off by wind. Easy to strap to a pack and durable as heck. MSR Evos are my go-to snowshoe and have been for years.
Wonderful Snowshoes
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Used these snowshoes today on Mt. Rainier doing the Panorama Point trail. With the snow being very crunchy and icy, these shoes spiked right through giving lots of traction. Really liked the Televator heel lift system, worked very well on steep terrain. Look forward to using these again in the future.
Meant for Serious Mountaineering Ops
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I first used these snowshoes as a student at US Army Mountain Warfare School. I have since purchased my own and hiked many miles in them. These snowshoes are the standard mountaineering snowshoe in use today. More rugged than the lightnings or pretty much anything else out there. The built in crampons provide traction like nobody's business. You will be surprised how far you can go and what you can climb without swapping over to conventional crampons. Paired up with the televator heel, you can climb every peak in the Adirondacks in winter with these on. Only time I absolutely had to take them off was for the Colden Trap Dike, pre-2011 hurricane slide. Flotation isn't great when you are loaded up with your mountaineering pack in fresh lake effect snow, but that is what the tails are for. Some might complain about weight, but I say they just need stronger legs and hip flexors because these are damn near indestructible snowshoes. They are compatible with any kind of boot you own. The straps are really thick, hard rubber that hold well. I think you can buy spare parts but I've never needed any.

do the straps really hold well? Can I wear any hiking boot? or should I plan to have a rubber type boot like a Sorel
Yes... they hold really well. I don't have the Evos but I have the Lightning Ascents and it looks like they have exactly the same bindings . You can see some detail photos of the bindings I posted over here: http://www.backcountry.com/msr-lightning-ascent?rr=t
Bottom line is these bindings are just about the best available out there. The straps are stretchy, so you can get them snug around any type of boot--no rubber required.
Also, since there are three top straps, that means you can get a really secure fit AND you're not SOL should one of the straps break (which, btw, they won't).
No moving parts on the binding. No quick clips to break, etc. Just these rubber straps and some metal hooks. Foolproof.

MSR Evo Ascent Snowshoe
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I love my ascents. they are light and provide awesome stability on my hikes though the pow. built right and don't slow you down like some other shoes i've owned.
I'm happy with them
- Gender: Male
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I use it on a very soft snow (I sink 1m down in the soft snow) the snowshoes held up for miles.
I'm happy with them
The one star that I take out is for it look not bomb proof
Owned them for years..
Great snowshoes that are tough as nails. I have owned mine for years and they just keep going and going with zero issues. The tail extensions help with flotation when and where you need it. The heel lift is great for going up hills .

I noticed the Evo Ascent don't have a corresponding Women's snowshoe. Is the Evo Ascent good for both genders, then?
Yes, they only come in the one size and unisex.
The bindings make for easy adjustment, even down to a small foot/boot.
Crafty carry
I was playing with ideas for keeping snowshoes together and attached to a pack, besides the obvious protruding tool-carry under the pack lid or A-frame, and came up with a prusik loop girth-hitched to a carabiner. I like this better than little velcro strips to fumble with gloved fingers plus you have an extra prusik and 'biner!
The attached image is a "front and back" side-by-side
I love this idea! I will be trying it out the next time I go out with my MSR Denalis.
Excellent product
I love these! They are light, have really good grip with the built in crampons and they are comfortable on my feet. I use them in Colorado for fairly steep hiking. The heel riser is an excellent touch. I shopped around a lot for snowshoes before I got these. I have no regrets.
Good Grip, but broke on first use (3.5 stars)
I like the Evo Ascents for winter mountaineering 14ers in Colorado because the crampons are excellent, the snowshoes are lightweight, and the heel-risers are a blessing for sore calves. The plastic is even pretty durable all around and can take a beating on snow covered talus. I rented these a few times before and then bought a pair, and the pair I bought broke the first time I used it. The small hinge connected the toe piece to the plastic broke off on one side, leaving me somewhat screwed on 7 miles of snowy ridgeline and steep descents to get back to the trailhead. Fortunately the other side held up even with the additional stress. The pin connecting the toe piece to the plastic does seem to be the weak point, and I would recommend purchasing a repair kit and bringing extra pins with you if you plan on tackling some rougher terrain. The pin broke for me when one side of the snowshoe clipped a snow-covered rock at a bad angle. Other than the small weak spot, these snowshoes are pretty good, especially considering the price and I felt very secure on steep angled windslap etc. Learned my lesson and will be bringing spare parts from now on.
A dayhike in the Evos
Great snowshoes, very stable, solid bindings, light, though a bit noisy
While, at best, I'd call myself a moderately experienced snowshoer, I do have some good things to say about these shoes.
The bindings are solid, and very stable, not once did I feel like I was going to slip out of them, nor did I ever. They are relatively easy to adjust, even with gloves or cold hands. I think the most impressive thing about them is their traction while transversing a slope. Even on Sierra cement I felt very stable, and traction never gave way.
The ascenders are nice feature, particularly on predictably long uphill stretches. Setting them is a bit awkward, but that's unavoidable... as you have to kneel down to reach them. The large plastic tab for gripping them is marginally useful, its more frosting than anything. I usually just found myself slipping a finger underneath the bar and pulling it into position.
The only real downside to the shoes is how noisy they are compared to shoes that are made mostly of metal. The difference is significant, particularly on crust and ice. They make a hollow rattling sound when walking under such conditions. Its not a big deal, but on a beautiful day... when trying to enjoy the solitude, the noise can be a distraction. However, that's really picking nits. The Evo Ascents are bombproof. A couple folks on a recent trip had shoes breaking with rivets popping out or breaking altogether. These, like most anything made by MSR, are built to last... and, a great bonus, made in the US.

On a side note, every person in the IAHSAA should be fired. 2-7 making the playoffs? **** participation ribbons. Let the teams who should be there be there and the teams who should be watching watch. Not to mention the 7-2 team play on the road against a 4-5 team. They really screwed the pooch on class A.

Deny the teams with good records. It should be a cold day in hell before a 2-7 team makes the playoffs.
Or meet middle ground: Have the 2 and 3 in a district play in to face the 1 of another district. ~2/3 of the teams in class A make the playoffs. 3/4 of the teams in 4A make the playoffs. That's WAY too much.

How about a 3-6 team leading a 9-0 team 27-7 in the first half? Too bad the 3-6 team got a chance to play another game.

anything on the US OPEN 2013 where/when
"Have Grill Will Travel"
At this point, the question seems to be "IF" more than "where/when.
Last rumored (by Barry and Shannon) is that it might be moving to the Virginia Beach Convention Center, from the current Holiday Inn.
Thing is, like RichR alluded to, there is talk that it might not happen this year. As of now, there is no BCA ranking points assigned to the tourney. The Behrmans have not announced a date for 2013 yet.
Eric >wishful
Eric, it is not just me alluding to the possibility of not having an Open this year. Mike Panozzo alluded to it a couple of months ago in his BD editorial. Barry may have really shot himself in the foot this time.
I agree, although I must say it cannot be a lot harder than needing a pass to get out of jail to run it, as occurred a couple years back. Crossing fingers.
A medium sized fish [...]
Sorry to be late with this, but what did Barry do to shoot himself? Was it last years location? I don't get BD anymore, and have been off here for awhile.
AKA Duane Zehring
I'm not on Facebook, but here is something that a friend copied:
"Hey Everyone! We hope that you all are doing great. We are in search for the PERFECT venue for the 2013 U.S. Open, as you all deserve the very best. The PERFECT venue will have ONE ballroom! ☺ Please be patient with us and we will keep you posted. We are in negotiation with a few great places and we will have an update by April 5th.
Thank you all!
Barry and Shannon
Proud Promoters"
Now, the disclaimer is that might be erroneous info, so take it as a rumor.
Rumor or not, for us fans of the Open, it gives us hope.
Well, I am sure it will be different for 2013 than 2012.
New Tournament Directors will be needed.
The Pros will go, because it is the only action in Oct. Not all the pros, but I would guess that any tournament scheduled during the same time period, with $8,000 or more added will be more attractive than the US Open 9 Ball tournament.
I would also suspect that the European and Asian players might think twice about entering a tournament that has this "payouts to be determined at the end of the tournament" for the last 4 years...

Park Tool Emergency Tire Boot Set - TB-2C $0.00
Carrying a frame pump and a spare tube or two is smart. But if you're a paranoid android and want to take your preparedness to the next level, then bring one of these -- a tiny package of Park Tool Emergency Tire Boots. Sure, you can cover up a slit in the rubber or in the sidewall with a dollar bill or an empty GU packet, but the Park boot does the job faster, easier, and more securely. Park's boot is made from a waterproof vinyl membrane with fiber weave reinforcement. A pressure sensitive adhesive assures that the boot stays in place in any tire, road or mountain, high or low pressure. A true ride saver.

Give tire cuts the boot!
I carry a pump, a tube and patches. I also carry these Park Tool emergency tire boots just in case I ever run over something big enough that just addressing the tube puncture isn't going to solve it. A tear in a tire my compromise your new tube and will require something to cover the hole long enough to get you home. I carry them for my road bike and my mountain bike. My mtb tires are tubeless, but if I ever get a hole bad enough that the Stan's sealant seal it, I may need to cover the hole to put a tube in. The package includes three boots, each slightly smaller in size than a credit card. Three of the take up virtually no room in my saddle bag and weigh a few grams. At only a few dollars, I can't think of any reason not to carry them.
Women's intuition
I bought this on a whim and figured it was light enough and cheap enough, why not just keep it in my pack? Well.... turns out i needed it a few weeks later. What I really need is a new tire, BUT, it is still going strong (as strong as a tire with no tread can go) since I patched a sidewall hole with this TB-2. The pack includes more than one patch, and I'm not sure if they intend you to cut them to size, but I decided the hole I was fixing was small enough to just use half a patch and it's worked fine. The patch is not overly sticky, so if you can clean the area you are patching first, I would recommend it, however I was in the middle of a 12 mile ride and just tried to mash it in there as well as possible and was careful putting the new tube in. I am ordering new tires this week (treads are done), but the patch has been holding solid for a month now.

440 Big-Block Build - Low Deck, Low Buck, High Power (Part Two)Written by on May 12, 2011 Necessary upgrades so our '71 B-Body can with- stand 451 cubic inches of Indy-headed big-block
We'd all love to install a high-horsepower engine in our Mopar, and many of us do modify our engines with aftermarket parts in the quest for more power. In fact, there's never been a better time to be a Mopar lover, as the market is flush with the reproduction parts needed to make your car even better than it was when the first owner picked it up from the dealership. One area of our hobby that technology has really helped advance is our car's engines. Nearly all the parts, including engine blocks and aftermarket cylinder heads, are available for most Mopar applications, allowing us to build engines of larger displacement, and far more power than our cars came with from the factory. But because our older Mopars were only designed to handle a maximum of 425 horsepower, there are some upgrades that must be performed to the car before installing that big engine.
A few issues ago, we built a low deck, 451 stroker for our '71 Road Runner, attempting to make as much power as possible on pump gas, while sticking to a "reasonable" budget. While we did spend money where it counts on this build, specifically the 440-1 aluminum heads from Indy Cylinder Head and roller cam and lifters from Comp Cams, we also conserved money by purchasing our cylinder heads in kit form, using a factory block and crankshaft, and choosing reasonably-priced forged pistons and rods from 440 Source. We also had the machine work done locally at Auto Performance Engines, and we assembled this engine ourselves instead of paying someone else to do it.
Clearly this is not the least expensive engine we could build, as a stock 318 would have satisfied that requirement, but our purpose was to show you how to make big power on pump gas with a normally aspirated big-block. We certainly could have added to our expenses by building a larger displacement engine with expensive billet internals and block, using race specific rocker arms, a belt drive for the cam, and expensive dry sump or external pickup oil system. We stayed away from these parts as the benefits they provide exceed what is necessary to make plenty of power for the average street car. In fact, this engine will require that our Road Runner be modified not only so the fuel, ignition, and cooling systems can adequately support the more powerful engine, but in the interest of safety as well.
This 451-inch big-block is far more powerful than the 383 our car came with, and will have more torque and horsepower than our 40-year-old car was designed to handle. For this reason, we felt it necessary to perform some modifications to our B-Body both before and while we were installing the new engine. In earlier issues of Mopar Muscle, we rebuilt our car's suspension with components from Performance Suspension Technology (PST) and installed front disc brakes from the same company. While we were at it, we also installed a larger diameter front sway bar and a rear sway bar from PST as well. Our 8-3/4-inch differential was also modified with a new 3.55 Sure Grip centersection from Randy's Ring and Pinion. This month, we'll show you what else we deemed necessary not just to make our car able to safely hold the new engine's power, but also to ensure the engine performs up to its potential.
Starting with the basics, fuel and ignition, we modified our Road Runner's fuel system with new 3/8-inch aluminum fuel line, and a Holley fuel pump and regulator. Sticking with our budget theme, we made the fuel line ourselves with a roll of tubing we got from a local race shop, and used a fuel pump and regulator we had in our spare race parts selection. To provide the extra ignition energy needed to power a high-performance big-block and to provide rev-limiting protection, we chose MSD's Digital 6 Plus ignition box. This ignition, along with an MSD Pro-Billet distributor, coil, and ignition wires, not only supplies the required additional spark energy, it also allows us to easily set two different levels of engine rev-limiting and gives us the option of retarding the ignition timing in case we ever chose to add nitrous oxide to our engine (not that it needs it).
To keep our high-performance engine cool, we knew it would be necessary to upgrade our radiator and cooling system as well. First, we replaced our car's original radiator with an aluminum replacement from Wizard Cooling. Wizard offers bolt-in replacement radiators for most Mopar body and engine combinations, and their radiators are a down-flow design just like the originals. Additionally, Wizard offers radiator and fan combinations, and we chose their kit that included two electric fans and custom fabricated aluminum fan shroud. To pump the coolant, a Mopar aluminum water pump housing was utilized along with a Milodon aluminum high-volume water pump and 160-degree thermostat.
With the engine taken care of, we moved on to the car itself, knowing that our factory style clutch and stock axles simply wouldn't be up to the task of handling our engine's additional torque. A clutch disc failure is no laughing matter, and a broken axle can at best leave you stranded, or at worst wreck your Mopar. With a quick call to Centerforce, we had a new DFX clutch, pressure plate, and SFI approved flywheel on the way, along with an input shaft bearing in lieu of a stock style bushing. Randy's Ring and Pinion provided our forged Yukon axles, and we cut them to length ourselves before installing new sealed axle bearings. We also considered sub-frame connectors necessary for a car with this kind of power, so we ordered a pair of bolt-in connectors from Competition Engineering.
While we could have gone over the top with this build in terms of the equipment needed to make this combination work, we decided instead to stick with the basics and only install the minimum equipment to ensure our engine would run properly and wouldn't destroy other parts of our Road Runner. We plan to mostly drive this car on the street but plan to take it to the strip as well to see how it performs. Our hope is that it will be quick enough we'll need to install other equipment like a driveshaft loop, safety harnesses, and possibly even a rollbar to make it legal at NHRA tracks. If we achieve our goal, we'll cover the additional safety installations in future issues. Be sure to go to our website, www.moparmusclemagazine.com, where we'll post video of our dragstrip testing.

1 If you're a regular reader of Mopar Muscle magazine, you'll remember a couple of issues ago when we pulled the stock 383 from our car and installed a 451 big-block in the never-ending desire for more power. To make sure our potent engine doesn't tear up our car, we'll make modifications to the fuel, ignition, and cooling systems as well as the chassis.2a Our new engine is equipped with a 1050 QFX series carburetor from Quick Fuel Technology, and will definitely need more fuel volume than a stock fuel system can deliver...2b ...To supply the required amount of fuel, we installed a new ½-inch pickup in the tank, fabricated a new 3⁄8-inch aluminum fuel line, and installed a Holley "blue" fuel pump and regulator that we had on the shelf.3a Since the Indy heads on our engine have raised exhaust ports, they require special headers. Fortunately, Tube Technologies Inc. offers a nice set of headers specifically for our application...3b The tti headers are a true race design, offering stepped primary tubes and 3½- inch collectors, and fit nicely around our clutch linkage and oversize torsion bars.4 The tti headers we chose also require a special mini-starter with a clock-able snout. We found just what we needed at Powermaster Performance. This starter not only fits our application, but provides a dramatic increase in starting torque over a factory starter.5 It takes more spark energy to make more power, and we wanted to protect our engine with an electronic rev-limiter. MSD's Digital 6 Plus ignition box, with an MSD Blaster series coil and Pro-Billet distributor will give us plenty of spark energy, and offers two stages of rev-limiting as well as a spark retard feature.6a We live in Florida and plan to drive our Road Runner on the street, even during the summer. Needless to say, there's no way the factory two-row radiator would keep our stroked big-block cool.
7a The 833 four-speed is a tough unit, but while ours was out we chose to inspect and reseal it with new gaskets and seals from Passon Performance...7b'll reinstall our four-speed with a new clutch, pressure plate, and flywheel from Centerforce.8 Centerforce clutch assemblies are known for their ability to hold a large amount of torque while having a reasonable pedal effort. We chose their DFX clutch and pressure plate, along with an SFI approved flywheel and a new throw-out bearing.9 Instead of a pilot bushing for the transmission input shaft, we chose a pilot bearing for a more precise fit. This bearing (ours is from National) is also useful for crankshafts that aren't machined for a pilot bushing as the bearing fits in the larger diameter machined provision in the crankshaft—where the torque converter hub would ride in an automatic equipped car.10 With our transmission serviced by the crew at Inline Performance Specialists and our new clutch installed, in it went. Though arguably not as tough as an 18-spline 833, our 23-spline unit should be durable enough to handle our new big-block so long as we drive it reasonably and don't push the limits by installing slicks.11 We had already upgraded our 8 ¾ differential with a new Sure Grip centersection from Randy's Ring and Pinion but knew the stock axles wouldn't withstand the torque of our new engine. Fortunately, Randy's Ring and Pinion also offers forged Yukon axles for our application. We ordered their cut-to-fit axles and pressed on sealed "green" bearings before installing them in our car.12 Mopar B-Bodies are structurally pretty sound, but by construction they aren't as rigid as a car with a full frame. We ordered a set of bolt-in subframe connectors from Competition Engineering to give our Road Runner some extra strength. While we didn't have time to install them by the time of this writing, we will definitely have them in place before we do any track testing.13 We're a lot closer to driving and testing our car at the dragstrip with its new engine, but we're not quite there yet. In a future issue of Mopar Muscle we'll finish up the loose ends and then install a full exhaust system from tti and choose some wheels and tires for our Road Runner.

I'm new to Zimbra - using it for 2 Months now.
At first, everything worked fine.
After aproximately one week, the Zimbra Desktop started to stall with a PRISM-error "PRISM not working ..."
This happend about once a day.
would not bother me to much, if this would be all. about 2-3 days later, this error started to show more often.
I'm using Win7 Ultimate with the latest Updates installed.
I tried the following:
- reinstall Zimbra Desktop
- complete reinstall of Win7
Right now, the error occurs about 4 times a day. Sometimes it shows directly after the start of the desktop - sometimes it works fine for hours.
I could not find a "trigger" for this error. Every time the timeframe is about the same. Directly after the fresh installation everything is fine - after a while the error occurs.
The biggest chance to get it is trying to open a mail instead of viewing it in the viewing pane.
Does anyone have an idea what is happening in there?

The mother of missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux offered an emotional plea for her daughter's return on The Today Show Monday.
"If someone has done something to her," Johnna Henson said,
"God will get you."
Today marks two weeks since the 23 year old did not report for duty at Fort Bragg in Fayetteville and was reported missing. Hundreds of people have searched for the missing soldier, with no success. Also missing is her iPhone, which she used to take a picture of herself before going out to the Froggy Bottoms Bar, the last place she was seen.
"She is a very, a very driven woman. She has goals in her life. i don't think someone has realized what they have taken away," Henson said on "Today." "You know I miss you and love you, Kelli, and I want you home, now. "
Previous Story
More than 500 volunteers have turned out to help authorities search for a Fort Bragg soldier who has been missing for almost two weeks.
The Fayetteville Observer reports that a mix of soldiers and civilians turned up at the parking lot of Cape Fear Valley Medical Center's Health Pavilion North to look for 23-year-old Pfc. Kelli Bordeaux. She was last seen as she left a bar about 1:20 a.m. April 14.
Police said the last location report from Bordeaux's cell phone came from a tower behind the pavilion.
The volunteers were split into groups to search a 1.7-mile area shoulder to shoulder.
Bordeaux's brother said the turnout of volunteers was larger than he expected. Matt Henson said the family remains optimistic that his sister will be found alive.

Previous Story
The husband of missing Fort Bragg soldier Kelli Bordeaux spoke to Matt Lauer in an exclusive live interview on The Today Show Thursday.
Mike Bordeaux says he "knew something was fishy" when he got the call that his wife was missing on April 16, because "she always goes to work." Private First Class Bordeaux was reported missing after she did not report for duty at Fort Bragg. Mike Bordeaux says he was visiting his parents in Florida when Kelli disappeared.
In response to Lauer's question about whether there was marital trouble, as had been reported early in the investigation, Bordeaux said, "None at all. We were very happy. We weren't getting a divorce, nothing like that. Nothing is wrong with my marriage."
Nicholas Holbert is the man who says he drove Kelli home the night she was last seen but denies any involvement her disappearance. Mike Bordeaux says he doesn't know Holbert and he doesn't trust him. "To tell you the truth, i don't trust anything he says. I don't believe a word he says," Bordeaux said.
A huge search is planned in Fayetteville Thursday around the Froggy Bottom Bar where Kelli was before disappearing, a place her husband says they never went to together. This latest search will include several volunteers who want to help find the missing soldier. "I'm very happy that everyone--the Fayetteville police, detectives, military, volunteers, even neighbors--I'm so happy that people are trying to find my wife," Bordeaux said.
Matt Henson, Kelli Bordeaux's brother also appeared on Today. He told Lauer, "We're going to find her safe and sound. I don't have any doubt in my mind."
Kelli Bordeaux, 23, hasn't been seen since the early morning hours of April 14, leaving a Fayetteville bar. Thursday, a massive search that includes volunteers who want to help will focus on the area around the Froggy Bottom Bar, where Bordeaux was last seen.
Nicholas Holbert reportedly lives in a tent behind the Froggy Bottom Bar. He's the one who says he drove Bordeaux back to her apartment and is the last person on the record to have seen the missing soldier. Last week, Holbert was arrested for failing to update authorities on his new address; he is a registered sex offender. Holbert is not currently a suspect in Bordeaux's disappearance.

I have a server with a quasi M3_436_RHEL4/M4_41_RHEL4 build of ZCS on Centos 4.2, I say quasi because the upgrade has failed to complete successfully see this thread and was wondering how I could copy all mail/calendars/contacts from this zombie box - N.B. Zimbra will not start - to a server with M4_41_SuSE10?
Would it just be a matter of copying the contents of store or is there a slightly more elaborate way of doing it.

There is nothing in the release notes that indicate the briefcase will not work when upgrading to 8.0.1. My briefcase has three top level folders which display their contents correctly, but the next levels down report that the items do not exist. This is a show stopper for 7.2.1 upgrade to 8.0.2 for my environment.

School of Education
The School of Education provides academic study and training to students seeking teaching careers in the field of public, private, or Christian education. The teacher education programs at Southern Wesleyan University are fully accredited by the National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE).
Based on its conceptual framework, the School of Education has adopted the theme statement, "Educators who demonstrate scholarship within a Christian ethic of care." Teacher candidates are guided in the acquisition of skills that are necessary to plan and implement instruction of content area subjects at the elementary and secondary school levels. Further, teacher candidates are instructed in specific aspects of assessment and classroom management that facilitate the improvement of student learning and teacher instruction. This is accomplished through interacting with experienced university faculty in the classroom and pre-clinical experiences in actual classrooms with mentor teachers. Finally, the School of Education seeks to instill in teacher candidates dispositions related to a "Christian ethic of care" towards self, learners, colleagues and the community.

News & Updates for School of Education
The opportunities for Education majors are growing!
(Note: This is an excerpt from Best College Degrees for In-Demand Careers, Yahoo Education February 8, 2013.)
A bachelor's in education is a great starting point for people who want to pursue a field with growing opportunities, like education.
The U.S. Department of Labor reports that a greater number of children and adults enrolled in all types of schools, as well as the large number of retirements, will generate employment growth in the educational services industry.
Since an education degree prepares students to teach in a variety of subjects, a typical education program usually includes a range of subjects such as math, science, art, and music. In addition, you'll most likely take classes specific to a teaching career, such as psychology of learning, education philosophy, and teaching methods.
In-Demand Career Options:*
- Kindergarten teachers work with the youngest children and teach letters and numbers, as well as creating an awareness of science, art, and nature. Kindergarten teachers…are projected to see a 15 percent increase in jobs between 2008 and 2018.
- Elementary school teachers generally instruct children in several subjects, including music, art, reading, science, and more. Elementary school teachers are projected to have a 16 percent increase in career opportunities between 2008 and 2018.
*All career, education, and job growth information comes from the U.S. Department of Labor using May 2010 data.

Record-setting dry spell impacts California hydropower
Water content in California snowpack is only 17 percent of normal according to the California Department of Water Resources' May 2 release (pdf). This means there will be a below average water supply this summer, which also impacts hydropower production for Western's Sierra Nevada Region.
The water year, which began in October, started with some positive precipitation for the Central Valley Project. However California's record-setting "dry" conditions in January, February and March have reduced the hydro conditions outlook for 2013.
See the most recent hydro conditions report for April 2013 (pdf).

we want to migrate a customer that uses Outlook 2000 for long years to Zimbra Open Source Edition.
The Zimbra web-interface is great for replacing the Outlook installations on every computer, but there is one big problem: some applications need a local installed mail client that speaks MAPI!
Is there a way or a program that can send all the MAPI requests from these applications to the Zimbra web client?
We don't want to install a local mail app like Outlook or Thunderbird again that talks to Zimbra, we only want to use the web-interface of Zimbra.
A little tool that is running in the background of every Windows 7 client and redirect MAPI requests to Zimbras web-interface or something like that would be great!

Simple, free way to stop unwanted catalogs
Don't Waste Your Money
Do you get unwanted catalogs in the mail?
There's now a free way to stop all catalogs you no longer want, and it doesn't require you to spend a half hour on the phone.
Why so Many Catalogs?
We may be living in the digital age. But Libby Singhofer and Pat Lye wonder why mail order companies still act like it's 1999, flooding them with catalogs.
"They keep showing up," Singhofer said. "Even if I move they keep showing up, they seem to follow me for some reason!"
"I wish I could have some of them stopped," Lye said. "I wish I could be selective about it."
Restoration Hardware Complaints
But there's one catalog in particular that's generating the most outcry, because of the sheer volume of paper that shows up in your mailbox.
Sara Connelly could not believe the virtual boat anchor she recently received from Restoration Hardware.
"I was appalled," she said.
The 2014 mailing is a 13 volume set, with more than 3,000 pages.
And when she placed it on her bathroom scale, she said it clocked in at almost 18 pounds.
Restoration Hardware's annual mailing -- its biggest ever -- is under fire on social media.
The company says it's designed to be a coffee table book, is from sustainable forests, and is more efficient than mailing 12 separate catalogs every year.
But many still call it a waste.
Connelly said, "Why waste that much paper? Why spend the money to ship it? We haven't bought from there in years."
What You Can Do
Unwanted catalogs? You can call each one and ask to be removed.
But an easier way is to go to the Catalog Choice website, at www.catalogchoice.org.
The free industry-supported site, officially known as TrustedID, lets you opt out of whatever catalogs you no longer want, all in one easy step.
It formerly charged a small fee, but in the past year dropped all charges.
By the way, Restoration Hardware stores are accepting catalogs for recycling if you don't want them, and don't mind carrying them to the store.
As always don't waste your money.

Substrate Integrated Waveguide
Application ID: 12127
A waveguide-type structure can be fabricated on a substrate by adding vias between the microstrip line and the ground plane. Such a device will behave as a high-pass filter and is attractive because it is easy to fabricate. A model is set up that shows the S-parameters as a function of frequency. A sharp cutoff is shown at the expected frequency.
