The three main ethnic groups in present-day Bosnia and Herzegovina are Bosniak, Serb, and Croat, and languages are Bosnian, Serbian, and Croatian (formerly "Serbo-Croatian"). Nationalities are Bosniak (Muslim), Bosnian Serb, and Bosnian Croat. Religions include Islam, Serb Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Judaism, some Protestant sects, and some others.
For the first centuries of the Christian era, Bosnia was part of the Roman Empire. After the fall of Rome, Bosnia was contested by Byzantium and Rome's successors in the west. Slavs settled the region in the 7th century, and the kingdoms of Serbia and Croatia split control of Bosnia in the 9th century. The 11th and 12th centuries saw the rule of the region by the kingdom of Hungary. The medieval kingdom of Bosnia gained its independence around 1200 A.D. Bosnia remained independent until 1463, when Ottoman Turks conquered the region.
During Ottoman rule, many Bosnians converted from Christianity to Islam. Bosnia was under Ottoman rule until 1878, when it was given to Austria-Hungary as a colony. While those living in Bosnia came under the rule of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, South Slavs in Serbia and elsewhere were calling for a South Slav state. World War I began when Serb nationalist Gavrilo Princip assassinated the Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo. Following the Great War, Bosnia became part of the South Slav state of Yugoslavia, only to be given to the Nazi-puppet state, the Independent State of Croatia (NDH) in World War II. During this period, many atrocities were committed against Jews, Serbs, and others who resisted the occupation. The Cold War saw the establishment of the Communist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia under Josip Broz Tito, and the reestablishment of Bosnia as a republic with its medieval borders within the federation of Yugoslavia.
Yugoslavia's unraveling was hastened by Slobodan Milosevic's rise to power in 1986. Milosevic's embrace of Serb nationalism led to intrastate ethnic strife. Slovenia and Croatia both declared independence from Yugoslavia in 1991. On March 1, 1992, the Bosnian Government held a referendum on independence. Bosnia's parliament declared the republic's independence on April 5, 1992. However, this move was opposed by Serb representatives, who favored remaining in Yugoslavia. Bosnian Serbs, supported by neighboring Serbia, responded with armed force in an effort to partition the republic along ethnic lines to create a "greater Serbia." Full recognition of Bosnia and Herzegovina's independence by the United States and most European countries occurred on April 7, and Bosnia and Herzegovina was admitted to the United Nations on May 22, 1992.
In March 1994, Muslims and Croats in Bosnia signed an agreement creating the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina. This narrowed the field of warring parties to two. The conflict continued through most of 1995, and many atrocities were committed, including acts of genocide committed by members of the Army of Republika Srpska in and around Srebrenica from July 12-22, 1995, where approximate 8,000 Bosnian Muslim men and boys were killed. The conflict ended with the November 21, 1995 Dayton Peace Agreement, which was formally signed on December 14, 1995 in Paris.
Radovan Karadzic and Ratko Mladic, the political and military leaders of the Bosnian Serb separatist movement, were indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (www.un.org/icty) in The Hague in July 1995 on charges of genocide and crimes against humanity stemming from their role in the Srebrenica massacre. Karadzic and Mladic remain at large.
Bosnia and Herzegovina today consists of two Entities--the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, which is largely Bosniak and Croat, and the Republika Srpska, which is primarily Serb. In July 2000, the Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina rendered a decision whereby Bosniaks, Croats, and Serbs are recognized as constituent people throughout the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In March 2002, this decision was formally recognized and agreed by the major political parties in both Entities.
The most recent national elections took place in October 2006, electing new state presidency members; Entity governments; and state, Entity, and cantonal parliaments. The traditionally nationalist parties (SDS, HDZ, SDA) lost ground to emerging opposition parties (SNSD, SBiH, HDZ-1990), although the opposition parties relied heavily on ethnically based messages to appeal to voters. A six-party coalition has formed a national government. The next national elections are scheduled for October 2010. Bosnia and Herzegovina introduced the direct election of mayors at municipal elections held in October 2004.
The international community retains an extraordinary civilian and military presence in BiH stemming from the Dayton Peace Accords. The Dayton Accords created the position of High Representative, an international official charged with overseeing implementation of the civilian aspects of the agreement. The current High Representative (since July 2007) is Slovakia's Miroslav Lajcak (www.ohr.int).
In December 1995, NATO deployed a 60,000-troop Implementation Force (IFOR) to oversee implementation of the military aspects of the peace agreement. IFOR transitioned into a smaller Stabilization Force (SFOR) in 2006. With the end of the SFOR mission in December 2005, the European Union (EU) assumed primary responsibility for military stabilization operations. Approximately 2,500 EU troops remain deployed in Bosnia (www.euforbih.org). NATO maintains a small headquarters operation with responsibility to assist with defense reform and efforts against persons indicted for war crimes and counterterrorism (www.afsouth.nato.int/NHQSA/index.htm).
General Government Framework Information and Information Regarding the President and the Cabinet. Under the provisions of the Dayton Peace Accords, the Entities have competencies in areas such as finance, taxation, business development, and general legislation. Entities and cantons control their own budgets, spending on infrastructure, health care, and education. Ongoing reforms have led to the creation of a single, multi-ethnic military under state-level command and control to replace the previous Entity-based institutions and a state-level Indirect Taxation Authority (ITA) that is responsible for the implementation of a state-wide value-added tax (VAT), revenues from which fund the governments of the state of Bosnia and Herzegovina as well as the two Entities. Customs, which had been collected by agencies of the two Entities, also is now collected by a new single state customs service.
Presidency. The Presidency in Bosnia and Herzegovina rotates among three members (Bosniak, Serb, Croat), each elected for a 4-year term. The three members of the Presidency are directly elected (the Federation votes for the Bosniak/Croat, and the Republika Srpska for the Serb).
The Presidency is responsible for:
The Chair of the Council of Ministers is nominated by the Presidency and approved by the House of Representatives. He is then responsible for appointing a Foreign Minister, Minister of Defense, Minister of Foreign Trade, and others as appropriate. The Council is responsible for carrying out the policies and decisions in the fields of defense, intelligence, foreign policy; foreign trade policy; customs policy; monetary policy; finances of the institutions and for the international obligations of Bosnia and Herzegovina; immigration, refugee, and asylum policy and regulation; international and inter-Entity criminal law enforcement, including relations with Interpol; establishment and operation of common and international communications facilities; regulation of inter-Entity transportation; air traffic control; facilitation of inter-Entity coordination; and other matters as agreed by the Entities.
Legislature. The Parliamentary Assembly is the lawmaking body in Bosnia and Herzegovina. It consists of two houses: the House of Peoples and the House of Representatives.
The House of Peoples includes 15 delegates, two-thirds of whom come from the Federation (5 Croats and 5 Bosniaks) and one-third from the Republika Srpska (5 Serbs). Nine members of the House of Peoples constitutes a quorum, provided that at least three delegates from each group are present. Federation representatives are selected by the House of Peoples of the Federation, and Republika Srpska representatives are selected by the Republika Srpska National Assembly.
The House of Representatives is comprised of 42 members, two-thirds elected from the Federation and one-third elected from the Republika Srpska. Federation representatives are elected directly by the voters of the Federation, and Republika Srpska representatives are directly elected by Republika Srpska voters.
The Parliamentary Assembly is responsible for enacting legislation as necessary to implement decisions of the Presidency or to carry out the responsibilities of the Assembly under the constitution; deciding upon the sources and amounts of revenues for the operations of the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina and international obligations of Bosnia and Herzegovina; approving a budget for the institutions of Bosnia and Herzegovina; and deciding whether to consent to the ratification of treaties.
Judiciary. The Constitutional Court of Bosnia and Herzegovina is the supreme, final arbiter of legal matters. It is composed of nine members: four are selected by the House of Representatives of the Federation, two by the Assembly of the Republika Srpska, and three by the President of the European Court of Human Rights after consultation with the Presidency. The Constitutional Court's original jurisdiction lies in deciding any constitutional dispute that arises between the Entities or between Bosnia and Herzegovina and an Entity or Entities. The Court also has appellate jurisdiction within the territory of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Both the Federation and the Republika Srpska government have established lower court systems for their territories.

Next to Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina was the poorest republic in the old Yugoslav Federation. For the most part, agriculture has been in private hands, but farms have been small and inefficient, and food has traditionally been a net import for the country. Industry still is greatly overstaffed, reflecting the legacy of the centrally-planned economy. Under Tito, military industries were pushed in the republic; Bosnia hosted a large share of Yugoslavia's defense plants. Three years of interethnic strife destroyed the economy and infrastructure in Bosnia, caused the death of about 200,000 people, and displaced half of the population.
Considerable progress has been made since peace was reestablished. Due to Bosnia and Herzegovina's strict currency board regime, which links the Konvertibilna Marka (BAM) to the Euro, inflation has remained low. However, growth has been uneven, with the Republika Srpska outpacing the Federation for the first time since Dayton. Bosnia and Herzegovina's most immediate task remains economic revitalization. In order to do this fully, the environment must be conducive to a private sector, market-led economy. Privatization has been slow, and unemployment remains high. The introduction of a value-added tax (VAT) in 2006 has increased the government's tax revenues and resulted in a budget surplus.
BiH's top economic priorities are: acceleration of EU integration by concluding a Stabilization and Association Agreement (SAA); strengthening the fiscal system; public administration reform; World Trade Organization (WTO) membership; and securing economic growth by fostering a dynamic, competitive private sector. To date, work on these priorities has been inconsistent. The country has received a substantial amount of foreign assistance but must prepare for declining assistance flows in the future.
The implementation of the Dayton Accords of 1995 has focused the efforts of policymakers in Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as the international community, on regional stabilization in the former Yugoslavia. However, donor resources for Bosnia and Herzegovina have diminished due to competing assistance priorities elsewhere in the region and globally. Bosnia and Herzegovina's relations with its neighbors Croatia, Montenegro and Serbia have been fairly stable since the signing of Dayton in 1995. The U.S. role in the Dayton Accords and their implementation has been key to successes in Bosnia and Herzegovina. Since the Dayton Accords were signed, over $14 billion in foreign aid has moved into Bosnia and Herzegovina, approximately $940 million of it coming from Support for East European Democracy (SEED) funds. As stated above, this support has been key to the growth and revitalization of the economy and infrastructure in the republic. In addition to SEED funding, U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) programs have been crucial to the redevelopment of Bosnia and Herzegovina. USAID has programming in the following areas: economic policy reform and restructuring; private sector development (the Business Development Program); infrastructure rebuilding; democratic reforms in the media, political process and elections, and rule of law/legal code formulation; and training programs for women and diplomats.
Bosnia and Herzegovina is a member of the United Nations (1992); International Monetary Fund (IMF) (1992), World Bank (1995), Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) (1992); and the Council of Europe (2002). It also participates in regional cooperation through the Stability Pact, Central-European Initiative (CEI), Southeast Europe Co-operation Initiative (SECI), Southeast Europe Co-operation Process (SEECP), Adriatic-Ionic Initiative (AII) and others.
The 1992-95 war in Bosnia and Herzegovina was ended with the crucial participation of the United States in brokering the 1995 Dayton Accords. After leading the diplomatic and military effort to secure the Dayton agreement, the United States has continued to lead the effort to ensure its implementation. The United States maintains command of the NATO headquarters in Sarajevo. The United States has donated hundreds of millions of dollars to help with reconstruction, humanitarian assistance, economic development, and military reconstruction in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has played a large role in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina, including programs in economic development and reform, democratic reform (media, elections), infrastructure development, and training programs for Bosnian professionals, among others. Additionally, there are many non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that have likewise played significant roles in the reconstruction.

ISU Second at Big 12 Champs., Santerre Bars Champ
AMES, Iowa – The Iowa State gymnastics team (5-11 overall, 2-2 Big 12) took second at the Big 12 Championships with a season-high score of 196.650 and crowned senior Camille Santerre-Gervais as the Big 12 champion on uneven bars with a score of 9.95. Santerre-Gervais also was named the Big 12 Event Specialist of the Year following the meet. The Cyclones' score assured them of a spot in the NCAA Regionals on Apr. 5.
Three other Cyclones joined Santerre-Gervais on the All-Big Championship Team. Junior Caitlin Brown took second place in the all-around with a career-high 39.350. Milan Ivory and Henrietta Green also earned Big 12 Championship Team honors on floor with scores of 9.9.
Floor Exercise
Seniors Ivory and Green came up huge for Iowa State in the fifth and sixth spots on floor exercise. The duo both put up scores of 9.900 to lead the way for the Cyclones and put them in a tie for third-place in the event. Brown, a junior, followed closely with a score of 9.850. Kristen DeCosta and Hailey Johnson both scored 9.800 in what was truly a team effort in Iowa State's third rotation. They put up a score of 49.250 on floor.
Entering the final rotation, Iowa State needed a score of 48.550 to punch their ticket to NCAA Regionals. The Cyclones shattered their previous season high on vault (48.800) with a team score of 49.175 to punch their ticket to regionals. Ivory led the way with 9.875, tying the best score of her career. Green and Brown followed with scores of 9.85, a new career-high for Green. Alex Marasco also set a career-high with a score of 9.825.
Balance Beam
Camile Santerre-Gervais picked a great time to hit the highest score of her career on beam. The senior shattered her previous career-high (9.825) with a 9.875 in the anchor position for Iowa State. She was not the only Cyclone to shine in the second rotation of the meet, though. Brown (9.85), Ivory (9.825) and Marasco (9.8) were also keys the Iowa State's 49.125 team score on the apparatus.
Uneven Parallel Bars
The Cyclones came up big in the first rotation, led by Santerre-Gervais, a senior, in the anchor position. Santerre-Gervais tied a career-high with a 9.95, the third time this season she has hit that score. Her 9.95 is also tied for the school record for highest score on uneven bars, a mark only four other Iowa State gymnasts have hit. Green (9.85) and Brown (9.8) followed with a Iowa State's second and third-best scores. The Cyclones put up a team score of 49.100 on bars.
Up Next
The Cyclones will await to see their destination for NCAA Regionals on Saturday, April 5.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

[Intro: DJ Khaled]
DJ Khaled!
The streets is fed up (who else nigga?)
We fed up (We The Best)
The Runners, Usher, talk to 'em
[Hook: Usher]
It was all a dream, yeah homie I'm on my job
And you can't take that away from me
Yeah I got my team, and I got all of my niggas behind me
And they give me the love I need
Yeah I got my foot in the door, still hustling for more
Checking the game, yeah I'm back in the life
Yeah I'm fed up (hey) I'm fed up (hey) I'm fed up
I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired
[Verse 1: Young Jeezy]
I am absolutely, positively on my grizzy
Even though I'm sick and I'm tired, I gets busy
Started a 62, but it ended up a frisbee
And me, I like to stand at the stove until I'm dizzy
Ball so hard it's like I brought the game with me
Left my glove so white you thought I brought Jermaine with me
'Bout to paint a perfect picture like I brought the frame with me
I give it all up before I let the fame get me
I got niggas tryin' to sue me, bitches tryin' to do me
Way these niggas actin', you'da thought they never knew me
But these niggas know me and half them niggas owe me
I'm fed up, it's why I'm actin' like the old me
[Verse 2: Rick Ross]
I'm sick and tired of you suckers so now I'm fed up
Somebody catch the chain, I'm 'bout to tear his head off
Shawty bendin' over knowin' I'm 'bout to tear it up
Before you let your top back, get your bread up
Made history, but now we claimin' victory
Get ya out da white house; go back to your efficiencies
Suckers feel me and I know you haters hear me
Like the IRS, you wonder what I'm makin, yearly!
With them brown bags circulate, so I perpetrate
We shinin' than the bottom cause we're down to twerkulate
Lookin' at the parking lot; better get your mind right
I hope you fed up being broke because the times right
[Verse 3: Drake]
Ugh, me and Wayne was gettin' high on 'em
He leaned over and told me just don't retire on 'em
And when they give ya they shoulders, never cry on 'em
And when they love you to death, just never die on 'em
And the question still remains
Have I counted all the money that I've managed to obtain?
Niggas dedicatin' overtime to damagin' my name
And somehow I'm still the hottest motherfucker in the game
[Verse 4: Lil Wayne]
(I'm happy to be back man) I'm tired of these haters
That's why I go hard like A.C. Slater
Weezy Baby here, y'all pre-natal
I just get the beat and murk it out like Fredo
Uhh I'm sick of bein' criticized
That's why I'm higher than the Star Trek Enterprise
I do it big don't, get mad cause you minimized
I keep a red flag in case I get penalized
Uh, it's Young Money like you didn't know
Stop playin', I hit Drizzy with the give-and-go
It was all a dream, now we the dream team
Who trying to see us? You seein' things
Hustle like I still pay rent man
Got a chest full of heart, no tin man
Uh, Kha-Kha-Khaled I'm fed up
Flow wake the dead up, Weezy, yeah
[Verse 5: Usher]
Yeah, hop out, I been in this, been breakin records since '94
So I ain't gotta brag about records that I've broke
Records that I hold and records that I've sold
And I'm fed up with these niggas relieving my lingo (yeah)
Don't bite the hand of your provider
Cause man if I ain't influenced you, you a liar
I'm on fire, you just a biter
You need to wake up and realize it was all a dream

Greetings all.
My name is David, i´m 39, from Spain, and soon to be married, but still taking my (scarce) free time for RPGing with my (old) friends; i bought CC3 not too long ago, and fascinated for the chance of drawing my own maps, i also bought more and more stuff. I´ve been mapping now from some time, learning a bit, reading here and there ... i finally decided to try and i made some CC3 designs, you can see them in my post on the Finished maps, with the Erdan title.
Erdan is my fantasy RPG world, have been for the last ... humm ... dunno, ten years at least, if not more. Been RPGing - although with several long gaps between - since late 80s, fantasy mainly, and being DM also for close to 20 years now. I always create my own world and rules (well, lately i use something similar to Conan D20 rules, but with my own magic system, my own classes, different feats, many add ons in combat like rogues´ tricks, and also my own skill system ... so hardly can call a D20 game ... humm ok, i use mainly D20+ modifiers vs a difficulty so it´s a D20 game ) and always wanted to make my own maps. I even tested the CC2 but it was too primitive for my taste.
I´ve been checking PS mapping; i really like the raster maps but to be honest while i´m not an artist, i have a taste for the critique, and i didn´t like many of the finished maps i watched. Maybe i will use it for cities, dunno. CC3 it´s a bit cartoonish sometimes but you can get a very good look for maps, so i´m using it. I want to learn to use PS for mapping aswell but i guess it´s too hard for me to master. Who knows, i bought a nice camera and i´m slowly learning the ropes of the PS, maybe one day ... i have to check here about the tutorials of PS mapping, already added one threat to my favourites.
About Erdan, the world where i play and where i have to make lots of maps yet, i wrote in PF forums some vague description, but can be helpful. Here it is:
"Ahh that would be an interesting (and long) story. Actually, this is the second Erdan map; Erdan had a very different shape before Karre and his demon hordes would destroy it; it wasn´t even the first time Erdan´s shape was changed: the first two Gods who came to it, fleeing from a very big, dimensional war, fought for its conquest and such fight almost destroyed it, until they parlay and decided to conquer it with other means than direct power. Erdan was then an airless world, just unhabited by some strange saurius race known by the historians as the Wrexx, an empty world, which was waiting for the Creator to be ended as a true world, but Destruction, Creator´s son, killed his father before he could end Erdan´s.
Those two Gods decided to parlay, and take one thousand years of peace; in such time, they would make pawns and those pawns would decide who would rule Erdan. But their plans didn´t work as expected; one, member of the Chaos, just decided to create monsters, and test them fighting each other to know which one was the most powerful ones; the God got so much pleasure on doing it, that with the centuries he forgot its primal intention, and just unleashed all his power on creating more and more monsters. He actually became mad, and it´s said by the sages that he´s still alive, in some deep valley of Vaulnar, the Tainted continent.
The other God had no luck either; he was a Law being, and he made born seven son and daughters, who became lesser Gods, for controlling his empire, and also created dwarfs, humans and elves for habitating it. But he was a tyrant as a ruler, and his own sons, who loved the people he did create, finally ended assasinating him. No one of his sons actually knew about the treaty.
The humans, elves and dwarfs, free from his tyranic father, grow and spread all around Erdan, but the magical barrier that exisred between both Gods lands was eroded once one of the Gods died, and small contingents of the other God creatures creations entered Erdan aswell. They are commonly called monsters ( being orcs, goblings, ogres and such the most common ones; these were the ones that actually fled from Vaulnar and the horrible fights the Mad God forced to ).
But, a thousand years later, the Pact expired and the maggical barrier fell. And then, the dragons, the ultimate race the Mad God created, who had oblivioned all the other creatures, spread into Erdan, into what was called the Oceans of Fire. All the Erdan´s empires, one after other, were conquistated by the dragon armies. Then, a desesperated handful of human archmages, found what they thought an ally for fighting the dragons. They were fooled, as such allies wasn´t other than Karre, the Demon Prince, son of Destruction. He ended up quickly with those humans, and his horde also beat the dragon armies, and started destroying Erdan.
It was some kind of luck that the Ilithians came. The Air People, some elemental race created by the Creator itself at the beginning, was powerful, and banished the demons off a desolated Erdan. They actually found some few survivors, protected by the last God alive off those seven ones ( all others died fighting the demons). Then, the Ilithians gave powers to such people to reconstruct Erdan.
Now, it´s 980 years after Erdan´s Reconstruction. The Ilithians are time gone, and the human, elves and dwarfs, along some few of the Mad God creatures, rule the world, without knowing that there is a small Rift where the demons are slowly and sneakly entering back to Erdan again ..."
Thanks for all the good tips in here, and see you soon.

A seaside Resort with rooms divided between bungalows (Menzels) and the Hotels Aziza and Calypso.
The 327 bungalows are buildings with one upper floor built in the typical Djerba style, grouped around patios. They all have a terrace.
The Hotel Aziza is a 120-room, 2-storey building (no lift) in the centre of the Resort, right on the sea front and close to all activities.
The "brand new" Hotel Calypso reopens after its total refurbishment, with its 179 rooms in 2-storey buildings (no lift), in a tranquil spot away from the centre of the Resort.
Why not opt for one of the brand new comfortable and elegant Deluxe Rooms on the 1st or 2nd floor of the Hotel Calypso, with sea view.
Some of the rooms are interconnecting.
In the part of the Resort with the most luxuriant vegetation, blending in most harmoniously with the natural setting, on the ground or first floor of the bungalows, these rooms have a simple, authentic décor.

With its football players back on the court after the state championship game, the Havelock High boys basketball team picked up its first victory of the season with a 59-58 defeat of White Oak in a Coastal 3A Conference game Tuesday night at Havelock High.
Jordan Cuthbertson, a defensive back on the football team, hit one of two free throws with 3.7 seconds left, and White Oak missed a last-second shot, giving the Rams the margin of victory.
Kyran Bowman, a wide receiver on the football team, had 20 points, six assists and six rebounds to lead the Rams. Micheal Bowman totaled 15 points, while Keion Joyner contributed 12 points and eight rebounds. Cuthbertson added eight points.
The Rams trailed by 10 points at one point in the contest but rallied in the second half to get the victory.
Havelock had been 0-5 on the season, as the entire starting lineup was in the middle of playing for the football team�s bid for a state championship. The game was the first in the conference for the Rams.
Meanwhile, the Havelock girls improved to 3-3 on the season with a 71-36 victory over the Vikings.
Jalisa Wilson scored 20 points for the Rams, while Natalie Johnson had 12, Apriel Barrette and Shernecia Martin 11 each and Dominique Martinez 10.

The West Virginia Division of Highways plans to do $100 million worth of work on Interstate 70 through Ohio County, and state and local leaders met this week in Charleston to discuss how best to facilitate the project, Wheeling Councilman David Miller said Wednesday.
Miller, who represents the 4th Ward on council, hosted a community meeting at Woodsdale Elementary School. He told those present Wheeling's leaders were in Charleston on Sunday and Monday with the West Virginia Municipal League visiting the Legislature.
Miller noted that Mayor Andy McKenzie, City Manager Robert Herron and the six members of Wheeling City Council got to have a "one on eight" meeting with Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin and his staff, as well as with Senate President Jeff Kessler, D-Marshall, and state Sen. Robert "Rocky" Fitzsimmons," D-Ohio.
The group discussed how $100 million is being made available to improve I-70 in Ohio County, and how the money could best be spent, he continued. Miller said work is needed from "state line to state line" - Pennsylvania to Ohio though Ohio County - to improve bridge supports and decking.
"We are in a very active discussion on how to do that," he said. "The good news ... we're going to be able to have some discussions with them as to what is best for the city as they do those repairs.
"There's going to be a kind of rip-the-bandage-off quick repair that is very painful, but is a shorter amount of time to do all the work on I-70," he added. "Then there's a work-at-night (plan) that takes forever. They've given us the cooperation to do that."
Miller added that Tomblin and the state senators "are in full support of issues with respect to home rule."
Wheeling is part of the four-year pilot "home rule" program that gives selected municipalities more freedom from state government in governing their communities. In Wheeling, the program was mostly used to streamline fees and to remove dilapidated buildings, he said.
Miller said Wheeling's leaders asked the governor and the lawmakers to extend the program for another five years.

I thought i'd post a little something about this new resi 5 content, seeing as i spent loads of time playing this fantastic game, i think it deserves a thread.
The Gold edition which is out March 9th i believe contains two new story contents along with new costumes or whatever. These contents are also available via DLC. And the first wave of them is out now. The Lost in Nightmares story content is a sort of back track to the events during/after resident evil 1, and contains ZOMBIES not black people with a bacterial problem, along with a costume pack.
Lost in Nightmares Trailer:
Gamespot Preview:
I've not bought the first dlc yet, but i will be buying it later today. They say it is 1-2 hours long, but I've heard some have complete it in under 30 minutes...
So what is your thoughts on this dlc? It looks pretty epic to me. I loved the first REsi Evil, so this will seem pretty nice revisiting old memories
Anyway, watch the trailer and preview if you haven't already, and leave your comments.

Might be worth picking up on DLC. I still have the original game and could give two shits about costumes.
I'll watch the videos when I get some free time, but this might be worth the download. Keep me posted with your opinions.

Ok. I co-op'd it with my GF on easy. We did it in 1 hour.
If you have played the first Resident Evil then you are more than aware of the Mansion layout. It is basically the front part of the mansion mixed with some new areas not seen before. The graphics are lovely, the gameplay is fun, but it's just a little too short. I would have loved to have explored more of the parts of the mansion that i remember back in the day. The enemies are pretty easy (taking in mind I've only played it on easy so far) and there isn't really many of them. But the action you do get is fun and scary at the same time.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the way it feels and looks. Nice puzzle and strategy style gameplay. I'm slightly dissatisfied with the length of it. But for £3.99 i suppose it was a pretty good add-on. I don't think i have fully explored the content yet though, because there was things that didn't tie up at the end which i thought might have done something. Like crank slots on the walls and what-not. So i may have to replay it a couple of times to get the most out of it.
Anyway, if you have the spare cash, then go ahead and buy it. But if you'd rather save some money for a full game which is due to release, than i would do that instead. But if you're a Resi fan, you will end up buying this sooner or later.

Cyclones Strong At Day One Of USA Championships
DES MOINES, Iowa - The Iowa State distance events highlighted a day of impressive performances at the U.S.A. Track and Field Championships. The Cyclones recorded three top-10 finishes in seven events, Thursday.
The senior women's10,000-meter run, Iowa State's main event of the evening session, featured Cyclones Lisa Uhl, Meaghan Nelson and Dani Stack. Uhl was the first finisher out of the group, but Nelson was the one who impressed, as the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, native placed 11th in the field of 21 runners with a time of 33:39.62. Iowa State assistant track coach Sara Vergote and former head coach Corey Ihmels were very pleased with Nelson and Stack's performances.
"[Meaghan] raced very well today," Vergote said. "She ran with her nose down, and put together a very smart, strong race."
"Meaghan and Dani had a very good day," Ihmels said. "They didn't race as well as they wanted to at the NCAA's, but they worked hard to be ready for today's race, ran strong and proved themselves today."
Uhl placed ninth overall and battled early to keep pace with the leaders, but the former Cyclone fell back to finish with an overall time of 33:35.80. Stack finished 13th in a strong race.
"Lisa didn't run as well as she's capable of, but track is a constant battle," Ihmels said. " I have no doubt that she will get to where she needs to be."
Freshman Kevin Poster competed in the junior men's triple jump, finishing seventh with a best jump of 47-9.25.
Incoming freshmen Anna Holdiman and Courtney Hutchinson were impressive in their respective events. Holdiman, a product of Waverly-Shellrock, placed second in the junior 3,000-meter run with a time of 9:48.23, while Hutchinson finished 13th in the junior shot put with a throw of 44-10.25.

Exposure Diablo Mk5 Light $0.00
1100 lumens of light, a hair over 100g, and it's self-contained. Heavy bragging rights there, for Exposure's Diablo Mk5 Light and reasons for competitive 24hr racers and KOM terrorists alike to consider this torch.
If you've ever snagged a power cord and had a singletrack tunnel go dark or would never consider spoiling a beautiful frame by running cables all over it, then you know the appeal of cable-free lights. The Diablo Mk5's 3100mAh Lithium-ion battery is enclosed within aerospace grade, exquisitely CNC'd aluminum body. That extensive machining, however, isn't just to look cool. It's actually designed to help heat transfer -- to physically cool the light. Packing three Cree XPG white LED's, the Diablo Mk4 can generate some heat. One way it's managed is through the weather-tight body, the other way it's managed is with Exposure's patented Intelligent Thermal Management (ITM).
If the internal temperature gets too high, ITM kicks in and automatically drops the power level down to the next lowest setting. It will remain at the lower setting until the temperature inside the housing returns within normal operating range. This, and the weatherproof housing, ensures the light's battery and LED bulbs are safe from moisture, muck, and heat for a long life span.
A defining feature found here on the Diablo Mk5 is Exposure's Smart Port Technology Plus. Essentially, it's a cylindrical plug on the back of the lamp unit that allows you to insert the smart charger. But, it also enables you to plug in accessories like a red LED taillight and back-up batteries, or to even charge other USB-powered devices. It will automatically recognize each accessory and configure the system to take a charge or power accessory lights. Best of all, a remote switch is available for quick light control.
A new feature found on the Diablo Mk5 is Exposure's Optimum Mode Selector. OMS offers eight pre-programmed settings to provide the optimal lighting for ride conditions. After all, the requirements needed for a high-paced trail ride are quite different than 24hr race, or a week of commuting -- and OMS lets you tune the light for any of those conditions.
For example; in the first OMS setting, the Diablo Mk5 will push 1100 Lumens for 1hr in high, medium gets you 3hrs at 540 Lumens, and low nets 280 Lumens at 6 hours -- great for standard trail riding or commuting. Now, let's say you're going on a moonlit epic, something along the lines of six hours pedaling in the dark. You're not going to need full power to light the road or trail because you're not alerting cars or traveling at race-pace.
For that situation you can select the third OMS mode where the Race Mk5 will kick out a sufficient 540 Lumens for 3hrs in high, 210 Lumens for 10hrs in medium, and 100 Lumens for 24hrs. That'd be plenty of light to safely cut through the darkness and make it back to camp.
The OMS modes are selected using the power button located on the back of the unit. The new info display resides under a clear silicone covering with 3 color mode LED's that double as the OMS display indicator and a fuel gauge. The Diablo Mk5 mounts to your handlebar via a small, but sturdy mount.
The Exposure Diablo Mk5 has a two year warranty against defects in materials and workmanship.

Love this light!
- Familiarity: I've used it once or twice and have initial impressions
Having recently gotten this light, I've used it only once thus far. That said, I'm excited to get out and use it again. Yesterday I rode with it at dusk. I had it set on the blink setting and was amazed at how it illuminated the reflective material on telephone poles that were 4-5 poles ahead of me. This light is a nice size and weight. I've already done a test run with it on my helmet and while I notice it, it's not too heavy.
how many time for charging? does this...
how many time for charging? does this include an USB port charger?
Haven't tested the charging time yet but, wanted to let you know that it does include a USB port charger as well as the wall charger attachment.
Does this include the 2 mounts shown in...
Does this include the 2 mounts shown in the picture: the helmet mount and the QR handlebar mount?
Yes it includes both helmet and handlebar mounts.
Great light!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I'm a big fan of the Diablo. I've primarily used it as a helmet mounted light for mountain night rides paired with a larger lumen bar mounted light. The helmet mount is easy to set up and adjust the beam direction while wearing the helmet. It's very light weight, and is nice not having a cable going to a battery in my pack. Exposure offer a "piggy back" battery that can extend the use time.
The lights function is very easy to use, a double tap on the rear button turns the light on, one push cycles through the different brightness levels, and then holding the button turns the light off. The lowest light setting provides more than enough light for me when climbing or riding flat sections of trail, and I bump up to the brightest for descents. My night ride are typically 1-2 hours, and I have yet to have the battery run out on a ride. It's also very handy to use as a normal flashlight around the house.

Hello, I am Anna Holcombe, a "4-Her" from Canon, Ga. I am 15 years old. 4-H Site exit disclaimer is one of the largest youth development programs in the world and it is committed to educating youth on all aspects of bullying. One day at my county 4-H, I was assigned to make a tri-fold on bullying. After a few hours of research, I found myself in awe of all the things I was unaware of before beginning my study. Automatically, I felt the need to stand up for these children and teens.
Last year, the opportunity was presented to me to teach a group of Georgia Cyber Academy children a bullying prevention game. It worked so well that I taught it again to a group of "4-Hers" at a Statewide event last fall. Over the past two years, I have taught many classes about bullying to 4-H groups of all ages.Continue ReadingPosted in Profiles/Voices from the Field

Although bullying can occur among individuals of any weight, overweight and underweight children tend to be at higher risk for bullying. Targets of verbal bullying based on weight, sometimes referred to as "weight teasing," can experience a number of negative consequences, including a change in body perception.
Weight teasing by both family and peers has been associated with high levels of anxiety and low self-esteem among adolescents. Having low self-esteem because of peer criticism can change an individual's body image. Body image is the positive or negative feelings you have about the way you look.Continue ReadingPosted in Risk Factors

GU Chomps Energy Chews 16-Pack $0.00
GU Chomps. It's the GU that you chew. While we got along fine before chewy energy supplements, we're glad that we now have a choice. Chomps are easy to store in your back pocket once opened. It's not necessary to eat them all at once. The old mantra "a little bit at a time over a long time" seems to be the method. In fact, GU recommends eating 4 every 45. That's four Chomps every 45 minutes. A serving is 90 calories. There are two servings per bag, so a bag of GU Chomps tucked into a jersey pocket should get you through a 35 mile ride assuming you weren't hungry when you started out.
Chomps are the only energy chew that contains amino acids, which help you maintain focus and aid in recovery both during and after the workout. Like GU gel, Chomps incorporate both simple and complex carbs for instant and prolonged fuel delivery. That's the key to maintaining a steady blood glucose state and to avoid the dreaded bonk. You'll also get 100% of your daily needs of vitamins C & E, two antioxidants that help fight free radicals in order to keep your cells healthy when you put your body under the stress of high workloads. GU Chomps are formulated with 55mg of sodium and 40mg of potassium to maintain the water balance in your cells. One nice effect we've noticed with Chomps is that they are pretty chewy and force us to drink plenty of water to get them washed down quickly and get back on the hammer. The Strawberry and Cranberry Apple flavors each have 20mg of caffeine per serving to help give you a little late-race kick.
GU Chomps are available in four flavors -- Blueberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Apple Cherry, Orange, Peach Tea, Strawberry, and Watermelon. Each 60 gram package contains two servings (eight pieces). Comes in a box of 16 packages.
- 16 pack
- Two servings per pack
- Sodium, potassium, vitamins, and amino acids

Taste is decent, packaging could improve
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I think these taste just fine. The size per piece isn't bad. They give a decent boost and didn't make me sick at all. Definitely drink water while eating. That being said, I'd take the clif shot blocks over these every time because I like how easy they are to get out of the package. The chomps aren't bad though still if you cut a hole just bigger than the pieces in the packaging BEFORE your ride.
Solid Product-Black Cherry
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I was excited to try GU's energy chews bc I am a big fan of their gels and have been using them for years.
I recognize the difficulty in reviewing an "energy" product. Obviously, everyone's tastes differ. In addition, you add the many additional factors (i.e.: how an individual feels day-to-day on the bike, what works, what doesn't etc) and it makes for a heavy emphasis on subjectivity. Here is my take: I have tried the Black Cherry variety and can report that they are tasty and keep me pedaling for another approx 1.5 hours (they package advertises that a pack is good for 1.5-2hrs of sustained effort)...beyond that, I cannot tell you much more...the Chomps did not make me fitter or faster...not that I know of.
I can tell you that I prefer the Honey Stinger Chews for two reasons: better taste and the Stinger do not stick to your teeth at all. The Black Cherry Chomps have a slight mediciney taste to them (only slight) and slightly stick to your teeth. On the other hand, these Chomps do not stick to your teeth anywhere near as bad as Clif Bloks!! Man, my dentist couldn't extract residual Bloks from my teeth!!
Ironically, I do not like Honey Stinger's Gels at all. Go figure.
Solid product, check it out for yourself!
A nice break from gels
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
Personally, I like having these Gu Chomps around for hiking and biking longer distances. I have Gu gel packs too, and as easy as they are to get down, I like having something to chew on that tastes kind of like a gummy bear or gumdrop. Yes, they will probably stick to your teeth, but sometimes it's a nice distraction, and I like feeling as though I'm actually eating something rather than sucking down a slimy version of taffy through a plastic package. But, maybe that's just me.
My favorite flavors are the blueberry/pomegranate and the orange, though none seem to be horribly offensive that I've tried.
On the bike, I keep these (sealed) in my saddlebag and haven't had any issues with quality, even if they sit in a hot or cold environment for several days. If it's too cold, it does change the consistency to a hardened version.
If used as directed, it seems to keep energy levels up and sustain me through several hours of riding, so I continue to buy them.
These are now my favorite!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I will never go back to gels! I love all the flavors. They really keep the energy level up.
Peach Tea!
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I buy these in the Peach Tea flavor. Gu chomps are harder to chew than similar products out there (Clif Shot Bloks, Honeystingers), and I dislike that about them, but the peach tea flavor is pretty amazing. Orange is a decent flavor, too, not too sweet. They get especially hard to chew in the cold.
Great taste!
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
I really like these a lot! My only issue is that they are a bit pricey if you eat them regularly on your rides. But I'm not going to knock them down a star for that--all of these specialized nutrition things are expensive.
Orange is my fav!
Blueberry Pomegranate
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
The best flavor to get is blueberry pomegranate! Perfect while on the trail or to have on the go. Always in my pack.
So tasty. So tasty
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
These have been great I will never go back to gels. Great calories of sustained energy. I tried the Watermelon it had a nice bitter element to go along with the sweetness.
These are very good on the go and they provide a solid amount of energy when you are tired and dont have much time
A good alternative to Gels. Chomps taste really good. Not too sweet and candy-like. Can be a little tough to chew when really cold but they don't seem to freeze. I wish the package had a little better opening to rip open. I like the Cliff Blok package but prefer GU taste.
Life savers!
I went on a mission trip to a place with no clean drinking water. On the last day of our trip, i ended up with no water bottles and got severely dehydrated. I was passing out and really not doing well. Another woman on the trip came to my aid and slipped me a few of the orange Gu Chomps and they really saved me! The quick burst of electrolytes gave me enough energy to make it to some water and get out of the heat. Those Gu Chomps are incredible!
Like Gummy Bears, but with nutritional value
Energy chews like these have pretty much replaced bars for me. They taste good and are easy to snack on as you go. One downside is that they can leave you feeling full temporarily - a feeling you don't get with energy gels.
Chewier than chewbacka!!
Love these chomp chews
I love these chomps, they taste good and give me more energy when I need it. I use them mainly for long mountain bike rides. Orange and Peach Tea are my favorites
These will provide energy for about as long as they stick in your teeth.... i.e. for hours. Pretty hard to eat, but efective none the less. I prefer the gels though.
Though, they do taste better than the gels, in my opinion.
Good energy but packaging could use some work
The Chomps themselves work well from a sports nutrition perspective, but unfortunately the packaging doesn't make these easy to eat.
The sachet isn't as easy to use as the Clif ShotBloks (which let you squeeze out a Blok). Your fingers tend to get sticky trying to pick out a GU Chomp. Not great on the MTB (where full finger gloves and sticky Chomps don't mix), but you could live with them on the road if you're prepared for sticky fingers!
Quick and Easy Energy
I bought these for my husband when he ran the Las Vegas Ragnar and he loved them. They are easy to chew while running and provide great energy. He loved the watermelon flavor.
Great for hikes, not for runs
Bought a variety Gu box and finally tried the chomps. Overall, great for hikes.
- replenishes electrolytes and provides sugar during hikes
- each bag contains several pieces, so it's convenient if you want to share
- too sweet and sticky on your fingers and mouth. be prepared to swish water in your mouth to remove from your teeth and a bit for your fingers too.
- bit of a hassle for distance running because they're sticky (getting out of the bag, get between teeth, and remain on fingers) - i prefer gu gels for runs instead
Chomps do what they're suppose to do and provide energy, but may be an inconvenience because of the chew.
works well
I'm not super athletic, so I can't speak for this thing in marathons. But I did take them hiking w/ me. They work like a charm. I can be dead tired and not able to take another step, pop one or two, chew, add water, and off I go again. My personal favorite is the blueberry pomegranate. Also I've found that if I open a pack and come back to it tomorrow (or even a few days after), it's still good, just the outside dries slightly, making it less chewy.
Great for on the go fueling
These can be a tad too chewy and stick in your teeth pretty good, but none of the alternatives are great so these get used in my house quite a bit. I even found shoving a bunch in my cheek for long hikes works great to slowly warm and chew them. I've only tried the blueberry-pomegranate, which was pretty good, but I can't speak for the rest of the flavors.

Janet Evanovich's latest Stephanie Plum series book, Takedown Twenty, is due to be published in November. While you wait, try Sophie Littlefield's Stella Hardesty series. Stella is a middle-aged woman in Missouri who runs a sewing shop and is a vigilante on the side. She was abused by her now deceased husband and is an advocate for other abused women. She has romantic entanglements with Sheriff "Goat" Jones. Although the comedy is darker than in the Evanovich books, there are plenty of quirky characters and humorous situations in Littlefield's fast-paced series.
Here are the books that are hot-hot-hot this summer at the FDL Public Library.
And the Mountains Echoed by Khaled Hosseini
They're so smart it's scary, and more than half the U.S. population owns one, but just because a smartphone can take pictures, it doesn't mean those pictures are really very good.
Two seasoned photographers will offer tips and advice to remedy that problem with Making the Most of Your Smartphone Camera, at 1 p.m. Saturday, August 3, at the Fond du Lac Public Library downtown. The program is free, no registration required.
Area artists are invited to submit pieces for a themed exhibit, A Dog's Life, at the Fond du Lac Public Library in October.
Have you ever looked at a book cover and wanted to crawl right in and be part of the setting? That was my first thought when I spotted The Apple Orchard by Susan Wiggs. The cover pictures the perfect summer scene of a white, casually laid table with mismatched white chairs set among apple trees loaded with succulent looking apples. I could almost hear the bees buzzing around the beautiful pitchers filled with colorful wild flowers gracing the center of the table.
It's Mr. Penumbra's 24-hour Bookstore by Robin Sloan, a light-hearted novel that features an unusual bookstore where customers come in at all hours to borrow obscure books.
The Solutions Center will show the movie Holes at 6 p.m. Tuesday, July 16, at the Fond du Lac Public Library.
The free movie (rated PG) is adapted from the best-selling novel by Louis Sachar. It tells the story of down-on-his-luck Stanley Yelnats (played by Shia LaBeouf), who's sent to Camp Green Lake, where he's thrown into the adventure of his life.
Rain and sunshine have worked their magic, and gardens across the Fond du Lac area are bursting with good health. Capture your gorgeous greenery with the Fond du Lac Public Library's Picture a Garden display.
The city Transit Dept. has extended the Buses to Books program through the month of August.
Every Thursday, kids ages 6 to 17 can ride to and from the Fond du Lac Public Library for free when show their library cards. Kids ages 6 to 9 must be accompanied by an adult; adults pay full fare.
The BookCellar's annual bag sale will take place Saturday, July 13, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the lower level of the Fond du Lac Public Library. The sale is being held in conjunction with the downtown Sidewalk Sale.

The UFC returns to Omaha, Neb., for the second time in company history for a Feb. 15 event set for a FUEL TV broadcast.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) on Tuesday first reported the card, "UFC on FUEL TV 1: Ellenberger vs. Sanchez," which features a welterweight headliner between Jake Ellenberger (26-5 MMA, 5-1 UFC) and Diego Sanchez (23-4 MMA, 12-4 UFC) in a three-round affair. UFC officials confirmed the matchup late Tuesday evening.
The event marks the company's first live event on FUEL TV. International broadcast plans are expected to be announced shortly.
Omaha's 18,000-seat CenturyLink Center (formerly Qwest Center Omaha) is said to be the leading candidate to host the event, but venue officials declined to comment on the potential booking.
Ellenberger enters the bout on a five-fight win streak that includes back-to-back first-round knockouts of Jake Shields and Sean Pierson. The 26-year-old, who earned "Knockout of the Night" honors for his stoppage of Shields, is actually 9-1 in his past 10 overall fights with the lone loss coming in his UFC debut – a hotly contested split-decision result against current contender-in-waiting Carlos Condit.
Needless to say, a win over Sanchez would do wonders for the fast-rising Ellenberger's position in the ranks.
Meanwhile, "The Dream" Sanchez come into the matchup on the strength of back-to-back "Fight of the Night" wins over Martin Kampmann and Paulo Thiago. The much needed results ended a two-fight skid that included a failed December 2009 bid for the lightweight title and a disappointing decision loss to John Hathaway in Sanchez's return to the welterweight division.
Sanchez is 6-2 in in past eight appearances, and has earned four "Fight of the Night" bonuses in his past six fights.
The UFC has yet to announce any additional contests for the event.
For more on UFC on FUEL TV 1, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of the site.

Using Outlook 2007 SP2 with Zimbra Outlook Connector 5.0.3300.23.
One of my users set-up up Outlook Rules (not Zimbra rules), but they do not run when mail comes into his Inbox (when he has Outlook opened.)
Saw a post about an old bug (40456) where:
"If you want local Outlook rules to run, the registry key: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Zimbra\EnableLocalRules must be set to 1."
However, our version of the Outlook Connector does not have this registry key.
If we run the Rules manually they perform properly.
Are other people having this issue? Is there a workaround or another approach to resolve this?

The AstroView 120ST EQ provides great wide-field high contrast images for the intermediate observer or astrophotographer. It is perfect for viewing or photographing the moon, planets and even deep-sky objects.Our AstroView 120ST is a compact, rich-field refractor designed for observation of nebular clouds, star clusters, and even galaxies.

Compared to our standard 120mm AstroView (f/8.3), that translates to a 66% wider field of view for any given eyepiece. The fast f/5 optical system also makes it an excellent telescope for astrophotography. The 120ST has a well-baffled optical tube to ensure good contrast. The cast-metal, 2" rack-and-pinion focuser accommodates either both 1.25" and 2" diagonals. The AstroView equatorial mount with adjustable aluminum tripod provides a sturdy platform for precision tracking. Add an optional EQ-3M electronic drive for fully automatic tracking.
