Hats Off!

Objects are fussy. They're susceptible to humidity, light levels, vibrations, and any number of other dangers, both large (floods) and small (mice). And whether it's a tiny tea cup or a four-ton bronze statue, each object also has its own idiosyncrasies. Wood, for example, doesn't get along with water, and paper can't stand light. A museum is carefully designed, in part, to control all these factors and to give objects the secure and stable home they deserve. But what happens when an object needs to travel outside the museum's walls?
The permanent collections of the Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco number over 100,000 objects, and only a percentage are on view. However, many of these treasured artworks can be viewed in exhibitions at other institutions throughout the world at any given time. When art objects are loaned in this way, they often travel for long periods of time, which is why it's so important for our conservators to carefully prepare objects for their extended journeys. Such was the case when the Cleveland Museum of Art requested to borrow an ancient turban from the Nasca culture of Peru, featured in the exhibition Wari: Lords of the Ancient Andes that opened last week.

"Using these gift tags for favor bags. Also matched them to the invitations! Love Tiny Prints and how they have such a variety to choose from for anything needing personalization and coordinating products for any occasion. Very satisfied with these tags. Color is great. Quick turnaround time and delivered in perfect condition. Will definitely be ordering again. Thank you!"
"This choice was perfect for me and my baby shower party favors. My order was deliveedr a day earlier than the suggested time, and the stickers were the perfect size and easy to remove from the backing and apply to the gift. I will definitely order other products! Thanks."
"The colors were an exact match with the colors for the theme. I used them for tags on baby shower favor bags. Not much customization could be done, but it was great the way it already was!"
"These labels were so unique and beautiful . They looked great on the goody bags that my daughter gave to her friends from preschool."
"I am really pleased with all products from Tiny Prints. These little tags are to be used on candy table bags and I am also making cupcake toppers wth them. I am using scrap paper and lollypop sticks to do the toppers. The size is perfect to get really creative for use etc. I am excited to carry the invite theme into the shower. Overall just impressed with entire order/experience. Customer service was wonderful, the sample products I tested were also great."

DVS1 reaching global heights with his techno production
DVS1 (right) emerging from the shadows
Denis Jeong Plaster for City Pages
You've heard that old maxim in the entertainment business that if you don't make it before age 30, it's time to cut your hair, join some job-seeker sites, and demote your creative dream to "hobby" status. Zak Khutoretsky heard it over and over again in his own mind. He told his friends he should just accept his local acclaim as the Minneapoils dance scene's foremost warrior and afterhours techno legend and realize it's "too late" for him to branch out now that he's deep into his 30s and fresh off the sting of failed nightclub, Foundation.
And then it all started happening.
The pace picked up about a year ago or so, and recent months has seen this Twin Cities loyalist touring Europe and putting records out on esteemed techno labels -- labels Zak followed in his early years and now finds himself a signed artist. A greatarticle
on popular dance site Resident Advisor just came out late last week and noted Zak as its "Breakthrough Artist." It's a triumphant story for the rest of us, too. Turns out you don't have to be a fresh-out-of-college 21-year-old to gain widespread recognition -- in fact, in many cases, a seasoned vet is preferred.
Gimme Noise: How did you meet techno producer Ben Klock, the Klockwork label owner who gave you your latest 'big break'?
DVS1: Ben Klock actually weaves back almost a year and half now; it was a year ago last March that I met him. He was here playing for Black up at First Avenue and basically I agreed to do a rare live set at a rave the same night Ben was booked up at Black. At the time I didn't even know Ben yet -- he wasn't even booked [in Minneapolis] when I agreed to do my set. So basically, I asked the promoters of the party that I was playing at to put me on later at night so I could hear Ben at First Ave. because I was really into his music. Aaron Bliss and Jesse Jacob basically dragged Ben out. Even though Ben said, 'I think I want to go back to the hotel' after his performance they were like, 'Naw man, you really got to come to this place and check out our boy Zak.' And he walked in just when I started at this rave party at Profile Music Club and witnessed the whole thing. Aaron and Jesse kept telling me afterwards how he wouldn't shut up about what he heard, and how he was super into what I did and was shocked to see that in MPLS.
So what happened next?
We contacted each other and he asked me if I put out tracks. I said no, and he asked me if I wanted to and I said we could give it a try. He took my live set and listened to it again and basically just said, "I like this part, this part and that part," and I made four tracks out of those increments.
So Ben picked out small loops and you had to develop tracks from them?
Yeah, that was how I produced my first record for him. JamesPatrick and Mike G. picked 2 from the live set and I developed that into two tracks for their label, Timefog.
How do you create your live sets?
I take two two copies of Reason, two laptops, two controllers, and I run it through a DJ mixer and I play them like I do records, but on the fly. Before, I never had songs, just parts and loops. (Ed. note: See a clip from Zak's live set below:)
You said in your recent Resident Advisor interview that Minneapolis makes great music because there's 'no pressure.' Explain that.
People are just more free to do what they want here without as much scrutiny. In the artist and DJ circuit, Minneapolis has always has a good reputation. Over the last 5 to 7 years, DJs coming through here never expect to hear anything amazing, and they get these good sound systems great crowds, and they tell other DJs they should stop here. Back when we had the club [Foundation], I remember that John Aquaviva said that our club was comparable to anything in Europe. Even Claude Young has said that Minneapolis is the future.
Looking back on Foundation and its quick legend within the dance scene, do you have any regrets about it?
No, because all those things lead to where I am. I got in my head that I wanted to open a club, because I felt that was the next natural progression in music that would allow me to play in my city for the long haul, and bring artists that I love. In the end, it was just another extension of a distraction for me and it really took away from my personal enjoyment. But if I wouldn't have gone into that debt, I would have never sold my soundsystem, and had I never sold my soundsystem -- the one thing I have held onto for over 10 years -- I don't know if I would have gotten the energy to be able to focus on my music.
So how did that Resident Advisor interview come about anyway?
The author, Todd Burns, is an American living in Berlin now. He said that he had been paying attention to Minneapolis for a while now because he hears the rumors. He had been taking notice of the Bunker guys in NY, and he had noticed that a lot of the guys getting booked at Bunker were also getting booked here. RA did a review of my Timefog release, then a review of my Transmat release.
How does it feel to be signed on one of your heroes' labels (Derrick May's Transmat)?
It's humbling, it's weird, and it's really surreal. I don't really have words to describe it, I would have never imagined in my wildest dreams to have a release on Transmat. I have Transmat albums on my shelf from start to finish, and I would never imagine my album being on that. It has been around since the early 90s but went under after Derrick lost money on the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. He laid low for a long time and now he's back, and I get to be part of the revival, which just began six months ago. Derrick and I have been friends because I used to book him, and when I was in Detroit doing sound and working for the Detroit auto show for a month, we'd hang out a couple times a week. We were just in his studio talking and listening to music and I put a couple rough edits of my tracks on and he said, 'Oh man, what is this?' and it just went from there.
What's coming up next for you, then?
I just got picked up an agent overseas - a really dope agency. I'm also working on new live set that will debut in three cities -- one in Berlin, one in Minneapolis and one more that we haven't decided on yet.

A great foreign film to watch, the story of an introvert misdiagnosed with a heart condition attempts to make the people she loves live a happier life. This movie has romance, comedic relief and is a great film full of human emotion and love.

"A bit of Orient. . . ." Top 5 Page for this destination Le Puy-en-Velay by kokoryko
Le Puy-en-Velay Travel Guide: 61 reviews and 265 photos
Le Puy is a major destination, resting place or departure location for pilgrims on their way to Santiago da Compostella. Some 400.000 tourists visit this city of southern Auvergne each year, of which 30.000-40.000 come on their feet or leave the city on their feet; they are pilgrims, (and may be few "normal" hikers or trekkers) walking on the "Via Podiensis", the route to Santiago da Compostella beginning from Le Puy.
Not only is it the departure of a pilgrimage, it is also a pilgrim's destination: thousands of pilgrims visit Le Puy for the "Vierge Noire" (The Black Virgin"), who is adored here since the High Middle Age; other local saints take advantage of this celebrity to also have lots of visitors. . . .
Not a surprise you find the atmosphere here a little bit (little bit is an euphemism. . . . ) catholic: there are cloisters, lots of churches, the streets are full of religious signs, and even most of the schools here are "écoles libres", "free schools", meaning in fact they are not bound to the laic French school system, since separation of State and church in France, and even integrist militants. . . . . If you want to meet deep Catholic France, it is here, in the Haute Loire Département (and in the Vendée Départment, Western France), the place to go! Lots of religious signs and activity, but not real pressure, be reassured. . . . Religion wars are over since 3 centuries, but it was an area where religion wars were terrible! There are a few protestants (Calvinist) communities in few villages, mainly in the North of Haute Loire (Chambon- sur-Lignon. . . ).
Walking in this city nowadays is very pleasant, on the sloping (and slippery!) small cobblestone paved streets, looking at the churches, mansions, houses, people going to their business. . . . In summer are a few festivals which draw thousands if people from the area and from abroad: the best known is "la fête du Roi de l'Oiseau", a street festival, with music, animations, fireworks, and opportunities to discover local food, some local folklore, local people dancing and singing. . . . A nice week indeed! In winter, it is very quiet, but cross country ski opportunities are not far, and plenty of wonderful hikes can be undertaken from here; many castles, museums in the city or not far (see my Auvergne pages) are worth visits.
I do not tell here about all religious celebrations. . … . .
And Notre Dame de France is always watching you. . . .
Here is the Fontaine des tables, one of the famous fountains in Le Puy, but there are lots of little things to discover in this city. Le Puy is a city where you do not get lost, it is quite small, but I like myself to feel like lost in the little streets, discovering a new building, a fountain a chapel, a perspective. . . . If you happen to travel in Auvergne, this place is not to miss, and even you may want to stay there for a few days. . .
- Pros:Beautiful capital of South Auvergne
- Cons:A bit too. . . . Catholic ?

Informative with decent photographs; thanks for sharing. Cheers, Ian
I wanna go here! I wanna go here! Do you guess why? ;-) No hiking tips (?) but I enjoyed something more about the Romanesque Art in Auvergne. But I did not like the Pink Lady, she is very freaky.
I guess you are right. There is a lot of Catholic influence in the area, and your pictures depict that. Nice job of describing the sites.
So the end of the world will be in 2016? Or did it already happen in the year 992 and we were just too busy to notice? Beautiful buildings and artwork, in any case! I think I would also make the side trip to Chavaniac. Glad you like my new jumping photo!
The history, buildings, statues are all stunning and wonderful. Thanks for the history lesson about Jules Valles. In Baltimore they have a statue in honor of La Fayette. Thanks for your lovely page!
Le Puy-en-Velay is just the sort of place I would love to experience! What an amazing view over the city in your opening tips, with the city so 'at one' with its peaks. And, I have to agree with you regarding the 'Cloister of the cathedral' friezes!!
I've really enjoyed returning to visit Le Puy through this fascinating, detailed and well-photographed page. Still mystified though, why the giant Madonna is painted pink! :))
I doubt that I will be testing St Michel with an 82m jump... except with a 'chute!

#Syria Misses Chemical Weapons Deadline #Peace
#AceWorldNews says with the start of the #Geneva2Convention just around the corner on January 22, this is not what we want to hear………………………………………………………..
EuroNews reports as and according to Damascus had agreed to hand over some of its most deadly toxins from the Syrian port of Latakia on December 31, but failed to show.
Officials from the 'Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons' had expected the deadline to be missed.
"We understand that a number of factors have added up which have made the Syrian authorities unable to meet this December 31 deadline – the poor weather in certain parts of Syria is one of these factors and, of course, the volatility of the security situation," explained OPCWspokesman Christian Chartier.
The December date was supposed to have been the first milestone of a deal brokered by the US and Russia to rid Syria of its chemical weapons arsenal by June 2014.
In a separate development, an anti-President Bashar al-Assad monitoring group based in Britain estimates that at least 130,000 people have been killed in the conflict since it began in March 2011.

#AceNewsGroup Wishes All Our Readers A Happy New Year And A Prosperous 2014#Peace
#AceNewsGroup wishes all its readers a " Happy New Year and a Prosperous 2014″ and may your life be filled with goodness and mercy.
Reflections on a New Year that has not yet arrived, and one that began for me by "Caring" and ended with "Sharing" as l spoke to more people about their lives.
As l grew into a person with greater compassion and humility, than l ever believed possible, by understanding forgiveness, that comes from experiences, never from judgement.
That allowing myself to release feelings, sometimes good and sometimes bad, allows want to turn to need, and need to turn to forgiveness.
So let 2014 be a year of "Peace and Love and let us all "Care and Share" and let "Charity" be from the "Heart" not our Pocket.

#AceNewsGroup says as the New Year swiftly approaches we try to remember such events that have changed our world, one such as reported by "Reporters Without Borders" is the number of Journalists who have died or been imprisoned in 2013. So to all those just reporting the #Truth l salute your work. Editor
This was just received about an hour ago and says thank you from them as well.
Dear donors, friends, correspondents and staff members,
It is not easy to end such a difficult year. According to our tally, 75 journalists were killed in 2013 just for doing their job and 177 were in prison as the year drew to a close. The situation of freedom of information is still alarming.
Many of you work all out, day and night, for our organization. Some of you are operating in the field and are constantly taking risks to defend freedom of information.
I would like to express my thanks to you all! We are infinitely indebted to you for your courage, commitment and generosity. We are proud to work for Reporters Without Borders for many reasons, but most of all because you are working with us.
To all the others, I would like to say that, while we constantly have more to do, our resources have been compromised by the crisis, which has hit us hard. We are desperately short of funds and I must therefore appeal to you again for your financial support.
I know that that the crisis helps no one and that not everybody is in a position to give, but it would make a big difference for freedom of information if those who are able were to give within the limits of their possibilities.
I would finally like to say that, for our fight on behalf of those who need freely reported news and information into order to live in freedom, each gift, each dollar counts.
I thank all of you, I wish you a festive New Year's Eve, and I hope your goals are realized in 2014.
With best regards,
Christophe Deloire

"International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women Ends 10 December on "Human Rights Day" #Peace
#AceWorldNews says Afghan authorities registered an increased number of reported acts of violence against women and girls in the past year, but prosecutions and convictions under a landmark law remained low with most cases settled by mediation, according to an annual United Nations report released today.
While registration of reported incidents such as forced marriage, domestic violence and rape increased by 28 per cent in 16 provinces since the previous year, the use of the law on the Elimination of Violence against Women (EVAW) as a basis for indictment increased by only two per cent, according to <"http://unama.unmissions.org/Portals/UNAMA/Documents/UNAMA%20REPORT%20on%20EVAW%20LAW_8%20December%202013.pdf">'A Way to Go' co-authored by the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
"Police, prosecutors and courts, in our view, need increased resources and technical and political support and direction from the highest levels of Government to deal adequately with the increase in reporting and registration of cases of violence against women documented in this report," Georgette Gagnon, director of the human rights unit at UNAMA and OHCHR representative, told journalists in the Afghan capital of Kabul at the report launch.
Women are "coming forward in demanding justice", Ms. Gagnon said flanked by the heads of two key civil society group – Hasina Safi from the Afghan Women's Network, and the Afghan Women's Skills Development Centre's Mary Akrami. "The Government needs to step up and provide that justice."
Presenting the report findings, Ms. Gagnon said that of an estimated total of 1,669 reported incidents registered throughout the country only 109 cases or seven per cent went through a judicial process using the EVAW law.
"What we found is that, instead, the police and prosecutors were mediating more cases of violence against women," said the UN official, speaking on behalf of Ján Kubiš, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General (SRSG) for Afghanistan.
Mediation whether through formal or informal dispute resolution bodies often fails to protect women from further violence by not applying criminal sanctions and legal protections for women, according to the report.
It compares and updates findings from UNAMA's December 2012 report on EVAW law implementation and is based on consultations with 203 judicial, police and Government officials, and monitoring of almost 500 cases of violence against women throughout Afghanistan. The report analyses statistical data on the law's application obtained from police, prosecutors and other judicial officials in 18 of Afghanistan's 34 provinces over the one-year period October 2012 to September 2013.
Enacted in 2009, the EVAW law criminalizes acts of violence against women and harmful practices including child marriage, forced marriage, forced self-immolation, 'baad' (giving away a woman or girl to settle a dispute) and 18 other acts of violence against women including rape and beating. It also specifies punishment for perpetrators.
"The landmark law on the Elimination of Violence against Women was a huge achievement for all Afghans," the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, Navi Pillay, said in a <"http://unama.unmissions.org/Default.aspx?tabid=12316&ctl=Details&mid=15873&ItemID=37528&language=en-US"> news release from UNAMA. "But implementation has been slow and uneven, with police still reluctant to enforce the legal prohibition against violence and harmful practices, and prosecutors and courts slow to enforce the legal protections in the law."
"Afghan authorities need to do much more to build on the gains made so far in protecting women and girls from violence," Ms. Pillay urged.
Among its recommendations, the report calls on the Government to put in place a concrete plan, within six months, for the next two-year period for improving implementation of the EVAW law, including measures recommended to Afghanistan by the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) in August 2013.
Another recommendation is that major donors establish a joint monitoring framework with specific indicators to measure progress in EVAW law implementation.
The release of the report coincides with the global campaign of 16 Days of Activism against Gender Violence.
The campaign begins annually on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, marked on 25 November, and ends on 10 December Human Rights Day.

#AceWorldNews says "We Need a Concerted Action to Eradicate Modern Day Forms of Slavery"
According to the "Top United Nations officials marking the International Day for the Abolition of Slavery " yesterday with a call for concerted action to eradicate the contemporary forms of this heinous practice.
"It is vital that we give special consideration to ending modern-day slavery and servitude which affects the poorest, most socially excluded groups – including migrants, women, discriminated ethnic groups, minorities and indigenous people's," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp">said in his message for the Day, observed annually on 2 December.
The International Day marks the date in 1949 of the adoption by the General Assembly of the UN Convention for the Suppression of the Traffic in Persons and of the Exploitation of the Prostitution of Others. The focus of the day is on eradicating contemporary forms of slavery, such as trafficking in persons, sexual exploitation, the worst forms of child labour, forced marriage and the forced recruitment of children for use in armed conflict.
Today, 21 million women, men and children are trapped in slavery all over the world, according to the UN International Labour Organization (ILO), which has teamed up with prominent artists, athletes and advocates in its campaign to "End Slavery Now."
Mr. Ban noted that there has been important progress in the last year, including stronger legislation and greater coordination by a number of countries to combat slavery. Also, more and more businesses are working to ensure their activities do not cause or contribute to contemporary forms of slavery in the workplace and their supply chains.
"I strongly support these initiatives and urge all Member States to ratify the Supplementary Convention on the Abolition of Slavery, develop robust and effective domestic legislation and boost enforcement on the ground. The partnership of the private sector in implementing these efforts is critical," said the Secretary-General.
He also urged continued support for the UN Voluntary Trust Fund on Contemporary Forms of Slavery, which has helped restore human rights and dignity to tens of thousands of children, women and men for over 20 years, he said.
General Assembly President John Ashe said in his message that the Day serves as a reminder to all people that, much like its historical antecedent, modern slavery is an egregious violation of a person's basic human rights. "The majority of those who suffer are the most vulnerable and marginalized in society," he <"http://www.un.org/en/ga/president/68/news/international_day_for_the_abolition_of_slavery2013.shtml">stated.
"Each year, hundreds of thousands of men, women and children are kidnapped and sold into bondage across international borders. Trafficking in persons is an issue of great global concern and affects almost all countries," Mr. Ashe noted.
"This inhumane activity continues to flourish owing to vast economic disparities between nations, increasing flows of labour and commodities across international borders and transnational organized criminal networks."
He called on Member States to eradicate slavery in all its forms; to boost initiatives that promote social inclusion; and to end all forms of discrimination. "We must promote and protect the rights of those most vulnerable within our societies, and help to restore the dignity of victims of slavery."

International Day: Marks the Date in 1947 Resolution Partitioning Then-Mandated Palestine into Two States -One Jewish and One Arab
#AcePeaceNews says United Nations officials today voiced their solidarity with the people of Palestine in their aspirations for independence and sovereignty, and stressed the importance of ongoing peace talks aimed at a two-State solution which must be given a chance to bear fruit.
"We cannot afford to lose the current moment of opportunity," Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon <"http://www.un.org/sg/statements/index.asp?nid=7308">said in a message read on his behalf to the observance of the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
"I ask all in the international community to work together to translate the solidarity expressed on this occasion into positive action for peace and justice," he added.
The special meeting held at UN Headquarters comes ahead of the International Day, observed annually on 29 November. The Day marks the date in 1947 when the General Assembly adopted a resolution partitioning then-mandated Palestine into two States, one Jewish and one Arab.
"The goal remains clear – an end to the occupation that started in 1967 and the creation of a sovereign, independent, and viable State of Palestine based on the 1967 borders, living side by side in peace with a secure State of Israel," Mr. Ban stated.
"Jerusalem is to emerge from negotiations as the capital of two States, with arrangements for the holy sites acceptable to all. An agreed solution must be found for millions of Palestinian refugees around the region."
Israelis and Palestinians resumed direct negotiations in August, thanks to the efforts of United States Secretary of State John Kerry, following a three-year hiatus owing to Israel's refusal to extend its freeze on settlement activity in the occupied Palestinian territory.
After decades of talks and "far too many" adverse developments on the ground, Mr. Ban urged Palestinian and Israeli leaders to take the decisions that will usher in a political solution to this serious and long-standing conflict.
The Chair of the General Assembly's Committee on the Exercise of the Inalienable Rights of the Palestinian People, Abdou Salam Diallo, called on the international community to seize "what seems to be one of the last opportunities" to promote a negotiated solution.
"Time is running out. The negotiating process is endangered by certain policies and particularly by the ongoing establishment of Jewish settlements," he told the meeting.
Later today, Mr. Diallo will introduce several draft resolutions related to the question of Palestine to the General Assembly, which will be asked to, among other things, declare 2014 as the "International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People."
General Assembly President John Ashe welcomed the Committee's initiative to have 2014 proclaimed as the International Year of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, and called for using it to redouble efforts to create the necessary environment for successful peace talks.
"Ongoing peace negotiations must be given a chance for peace to take root and flourish, but peace cannot be meaningful and durable without taking fully into account the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, which are key to the solution of the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East."
"I call on the Governments and people of both Israel and Palestine to avoid actions that would undermine the fragile hope created by this renewed round of negotiations, and to cease and desist from any actions that are in contravention to international law and would pose a major impediment to peace in the Middle East and, more importantly, render the two-State solution impossible," <"http://www.un.org/en/ga/president/68/pdf/statements/11252013International_Day_of_Solidarity_with_the_Palestinian_People.pdf">said Mr. Ashe.
Speaking on behalf of the UN agency responsible for assisting five million Palestinian refugees, Filippo Grandi said that solidarity – which transcends political and financial support – is crucial because it makes Palestinians feel that they are not alone.
Mr. Grandi, the outgoing Commissioner General of the UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA), said his organization is "sadly familiar" with this loneliness, given how closely it works with refugees whose plight has remained unresolved for over six decades.
As part of the observance of the International Day, the Palestinian Rights Committee will hold a concert later today featuring two Palestinian singers – Mohammed Assaf, UNRWA Regional Youth Ambassador and Winner of Arab Idol 2013, and Nai Barghouti.
The Committee is also screening the documentary film "State 194," which focuses on former Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad's 2009 plan to demonstrate that his people were deserving of statehood, inspiring them to change their destiny and seek UN membership.

Ashlynn Booker set a school record with 7 RBI Sunday, including a Grand Slam.
April 27, 2014
Northridge, Calif. - Senior Ashlynn Booker was 3-for-3 with a single, a two-run homer and a grand slam, driving in a Long Beach State record seven RBI in a 10-0, five inning win over Cal State Northridge. Booker tied a career high with two home runs in one game.
Long Beach State (36-13, 13-2 Big West) took command early in the finale. Shayna Kimbrough and Darian Tautalafua sandwiched walks around a single from Cya Neal, and then Booker hit her first home run of the day, a grand slam that put the 49ers on top 4-0 after one inning.
The offensive outburst continued in the next inning. Hannah De Gaetano started the second with a solo home run, and after Kimbrough reached on a single and Tautalafua added a second walk to put a pair of runners on. Karli Sandoval then added RBI No. 100 and 101 in her career with a single, and then Booker hit her second home run in her second at-bat, a two-run shot to make the score 9-0.
Booker's RBI single, scoring Neal in the top of the fourth inning advanced the score to 10-0, and also gave the senior her seventh RBI, passing seven other 49ers for the LBSU school record.
Amanda Hansen recorded her fourth straight shutout against Cal State Northridge (29-22, 6-9 Big West), pitching a complete game one-hitter to improve to 18-5 on the year.
Sandoval became the fifth player in Long Beach State history to record 100 RBI in her career.
The Beach finishes off their home schedule next weekend, hosting Cal Poly for three games. The series will begin on Saturday, May 3, before concluding on Senior Day, May 4, when Long Beach State will recognize their seven departing seniors.

According to the Star Bulletin an Indiana woman is asking that her husband be declared legally dead after not apparently not returning from a hike in Volcano Lands National Park. Tamara Lynch filed a missing-person report with the Warrick County Police Department in Indiana in June.
By June 12, she was "extremely anxious and upset" about her estranged husband's welfare, so she checked his answering machine using a code she knew from before the separation. On it were messages from the Royal Kona Resort asking when Lynch planned to check out and take care of his bill.
She supplied the information to police, who found out Lynch had flown to Hawaii, rented a car and checked into the hotel. Police found Lynch's car at the Evansville, Ind., airport and learned that he had not used his June 6 return ticket.
Police on the Big Island entered Lynch's hotel room and said he had left with some personal items.
Officials at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park found Lynch's rental car in the park.
Lynch's father, Robert Lynch of Norwalk, Ohio, told the Hawaii Tribune-Herald he refuses to participate in efforts to have his son declared dead.

What are all the differences between the iPhone 4/iPhone 4S and the iPod touch 4th Gen?
Please note that the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch 4th Gen all have been discontinued. However, this Q&A has been updated with current iOS support details and can be quite helpful for anyone buying or selling any of these devices on the used market.
There are a number of significant differences between the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models themselves -- specifically the iPhone 4 (GSM), iPhone 4 (GSM, Revision A), iPhone 4 (CDMA), and iPhone 4S -- as well as more modest differences between the 2010, 2011, and 2012 iPod touch 4th Generation models.
Based on e-mails from EveryiPhone.com readers, just about everyone understands that the iPod touch 4th Gen models are more-or-less a "phone-less" version of the iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. Accordingly, the iPod touch 4th Gen lacks mobile phone and cellular data capabilities, but otherwise has a fair amount in common with the iPhone 4.
However, there are a number other design, capability and technical differences -- not to mention major iOS support differences -- that are important to understand to ensure that one of these devices will meet your needs and expectations.
External Differences
If it wasn't for the speaker "slit" above the display on the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S it would be easy to mistake the iPod touch 4th Gen for either model from the front without paying close attention. All three devices have a 960x640 (326 ppi) display, but the iPod touch 4th Gen display is noticeably darker when next to either of the iPhone models in person.
Additionally, these iPhone and iPod touch models are instantly distinguishable from the side and back.

The iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S models all use the same basic stainless steel design with a black or white glass front and back as well as a "metal band" that includes the antennas and wraps around the sides of each phone.
The iPod touch 4th Gen models also have a black or white glass front (black only for the 2010 line), but instead of flat sides and a flat glass back, they have a chromed metal back with quickly tapering sides. The iPod touch 4th Gen is about 25% thinner than the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S, which already is significant, but the tapered design makes it "feel" much, much thinner.
Camera Differences
The iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch 4th Gen all have dual cameras. All have a front-mounted VGA quality "FaceTime" camera, as well, but the quality of the rear camera is different.
Specifically, the iPod touch 4th Gen has a 720p, 0.7 megapixel camera; the iPhone 4 models have a 720p, 5 megapixel camera; and the iPhone 4S has a 1080p, 8 megapixel camera. All can shoot video as well as stills.
Identification Differences
The easiest way to externally identify the iPhone 4 models and the iPhone 4S is by the Model Number listed in small type on the back of the phone. The iPod touch 4th Gen models also can be collectively identified by Model Number, but it can be hard to read on the chromed back, particularly if the device has been scratched up.
Nevertheless, all iPod touch 4th Gen devices share model number A1367. The GSM iPhone 4 models are A1332, the CDMA iPhone 4 is A1349, the global iPhone 4S is A1387, and the China-only iPhone 4S is A1431.
If the iPhone or iPod touch will boot, it may be even easier to lookup any of these models by Order Number with Everyi.com's Ultimate iLookup feature or the EveryMac app (available for iOS 5 or later and Android). Apple refers to the order number as "Model" in software. To find the "Model" select the "Settings" app and then click General > About > and scroll until the field is visible.
Everyi.com's Ultimate iLookup and the EveryMac app also can identify these devices by EMC Number and their Serial Numbers.
Technical Differences
Internally, the iPhone 4S is considerably more powerful than the iPhone 4 or the iPod touch 4th Gen.
First, the iPod touch 4th Gen has 256 MB of RAM whereas the iPhone 4 and iPhone 4S both have 512 MB of RAM. The iPod touch 4th Gen and iPhone 4 both have a single core Apple A4 processor, but the iPhone 4S, on the other hand, has a significantly faster dual-core Apple A5 processor.
All three devices support 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi, but only the 2.4 GHz frequency of 802.11n. The iPod touch 4th Gen and iPhone 4 both support Bluetooth 2.1+EDR whereas the iPhone 4S supports Bluetooth 4.0. Finally, the iPhone 4 supports GPS, the iPhone 4S supports GPS and GLONASS (the former Soviet counterpart to GPS), and the iPod touch 4th Gen supports neither.
iOS Support Differences
iOS support is a major point of differentiation between the iPhone 4, iPhone 4S and iPod touch 4th Gen.
The iPhone 4 fully supports iOS 5, but only partially supports iOS 6 and iOS 7. The iPhone 4S fully supports iOS 5 and iOS 6, but only partially supports iOS 7, iOS 8, and iOS 9.
The iPod touch 4th Gen only partially supports iOS 6 and does not support iOS 7 or later versions of the iOS at all. Based on e-mail received, some readers were quite upset that iOS 7 did not support the iPod touch 4th Gen models as they were sold as new a mere eleven days before iOS 7 was announced.
It would be easy to assume that Apple made this decision to limit the lifespan of the cheaper iPod touch 4th Gen, but the company also may feel that the operating system simply does not perform acceptably with 256 MB of RAM. It is worth noting that some have found the iPhone 4 to be too slow running iOS 7, and certainly the iPod touch 4th Gen would have been much, much slower if it were to run iOS 7. Likewise, the iPhone 4S is a bit slower running iOS 8 than iOS 7 and even slower running iOS 9.
Of course, a lack of support for iOS 7 does not mean that the iPod touch 4th Gen no longer works, but current app support is basically non-existent for iOS 6 and becoming less and less common for iOS 7, as well.

Fifth-graders will team with local mayors Thursday in Vancouver's observance of Flag Day.
The event will be from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. at the Parade Ground bandstand, across from the Grant House, 1101 Officers Row.
Dressed in 18th-century costumes, fifth-graders from Marshall Elementary School will discuss the meaning of the flag from the perspective of American Revolution-era citizens. Sunset Elementary fifth-graders will challenge Clark County's mayors to a history quiz.
All of the students will judge the third annual Mayors of Clark County Patriotic Tie Competition.
The National Pause for the Pledge will be led by Lt. Col. J.D. Litton, deputy commander of the Army Reserve's 2nd Brigade, 95th Division, based at the Armed Forces Reserve Center in Vancouver.
Litton was part of the team that planned the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq. He was awarded the Bronze Star and Meritorious Service Medal.
The event is formally known as the Flag Day Ceremony Presented by Veolia Water. It is organized by the Fort Vancouver National Trust.

No current Talk conversations about this book.
Sam Kingston is one of the popular girls, the kind who walk through school as if they owned the hallways. One night she is given the opportunity to not only examine her life, but those of her friends, family and the peers she would never even consider talking to, that is, until she has time for introspection and empathy.
The comparison to Groundhog Day is obvious, but Lauren Oliver steps beyond. There are similarities. The two character reliving the same day have similar reactions and traits, but while the Bill Murray characters evolves somewhat, Sam Kingston evolves totally.
There are many beautifully written passages and some exceptional insights into human existence. There are human foibles, the belief that a little is enough and then realizing that it can never be enough.
This is a compelling, thought-provoking read.
I enjoyed this book.
If you can look past the very clear use of the "Groundhog Day" movie plot line, there are some entertaining bits of this novel. Watching Sam go from mindless mean girl to someone who recognizes the value of life - hers and others - is the one redeeming point of this story but I can't say I found the ending very satisfying.
Before I Fall
For the first few chapters I thought it was really cliché: classic upper-class, bitchy, popular girls taking over their high-school where their only worries are parties, makeup, boys, clothes, and popularity contests. I trudged through the first few chapters and kept on reading and it started to get interesting; the main character, Sam, grows and develops as the book progresses so it seems like the reader is growing with her. This book is somewhat inception-like because it becomes a tangled mess of time, death, and memories. As Sam's character grows throughout the book, she becomes more real, raw, and relatable. I could not stop reading this book because I wanted to know what happens. On the other hand, I was unhappy with how Lauren Oliver ended the book and wish she had ended it in a different way. I would not say it is a happy ending, however, and I would not say it is an unhappy ending.
I didn't start out liking this book because the main character wasn't likable. She was an ugly human being and sometimes, it's hard to pity people like that. But Oliver did a beautiful job weaving together the choices we make and relationships that we keep and how life can change because of the ebb and flow of things. That's life! Oliver is one of my favorite authors because she takes real life and keeps real life realist. Sam didn't just change over night. No, because that's not how people are. We are stubborn and hardheaded, but eventually, she saw the error of her ways and began to see that she had friends that were one way and she loved them, but didn't want to be like them. This story is also beautiful because it shows us that we shouldn't place social opinion of ourself that highly. Life is too short for that. I don't normally like "realist fiction" but this one was well written and believable. It taught a lesson and that in a book is priceless.
Although somewhat predictable, the plot drives forward and teens will want to see where Sam's choices lead.

Ruth Marcus: A cliffhanger in the White House
WASHINGTON — President Obama hosted a screening of Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln" at the White House the other day. He should do it again — and again and again.
For the subsequent showings, though, the president ought to invite every member of Congress. Have them settle into the plush red seats of the White House theater and mull the possibilities, for landmark greatness or epic failure, available to a second-term president and lame-duck Congress.
"Lincoln" is exquisitely crafted and even more exquisitely timed. Focused on Lincoln's battle to win House passage of the 13th Amendment, it presents useful lessons in the subtle arts of presidential leadership and the practice of politics, at once grimy and sublime.
Dealing with the fast-approaching "fiscal cliff" is not a national crisis on the order of abolishing slavery. The country is limping out of a recession, not embroiled in a bloody civil war.
Still, "Lincoln" offers lessons in the canny exercise of authority — the utility of the presidential office for congressional ego-stroking; the hidden, often grubby, levers of persuasion; the awesome force of a chief executive "clothed with immense power," as Lincoln described the office.
"Lincoln" is a case study in presidential lobbying. To pass the 13th Amendment, the president needs to flip at least 20 Democratic votes in the House — to win over, as Secretary of State William Seward colorfully put it, the "same gang of talentless hicks and hacks who rejected the amendment" months earlier. Sound familiar?
There is an obstinate naivete to the common assertions that more assiduous congressional stroking on Obama's part would have guaranteed better results during his first term. The president confronted a united opposition bent on denying him re-election; if anything, there were times — for example, negotiations over health care reform — when he erred on the side of assuming that too much could be achieved by reasonable people reasoning together.
But anyone who has seen the lines of lawmakers of both parties waiting patiently at White House holiday receptions for their turn at the presidential photo op recognizes the allure of access to the chief executive. Relationships matter. They build trust and mutual understanding. As Lincoln appreciated, a bit of presidential schmoozing never hurts.
And there are alternative routes to a congressman's vote, if not his heart. Lincoln employs, even as he maintains a dignified presidential distance from, a rascally trio of lobbyists dispatched to cajole Democrats to support the amendment.
As Lincoln tells his Cabinet, the election means that there will be "64 Democrats looking for work come March," and any number of postmaster positions and other patronage jobs to dispense. To point this out is not to endorse bribery but to observe that part of effective congressional relations is grasping the practical needs of those whose votes you seek.
"Lincoln" has instructional value for lawmakers as well. I happened to see "Lincoln" at a screening (not in the White House) that included about a dozen members of Congress, and I could hear their murmurings of assent or rueful recognition.
The members chuckled when Seward, noting that Lincoln could not afford to lose any Republican votes, asks, "Since when has our party unanimously supported anything?" They chuckled even louder when Thaddeus Stevens, the radical Republican abolitionist, lectures Lincoln, "I lead — you ought to try it."
Congress is composed of individuals, in both parties, who are better than their institutions allow. They want to do the right thing for their country, even if it means bucking their party or compromising in the service of progress.
Like its Civil War predecessor, the closing days of the 112th Congress can be another moment when politics transcends partisanship and Lincoln's better angels emerge.

Arrive in Venice to embark the Corinthian. Settle in to your cabin and familiarize yourself with the ship and her crew.
After being controlled by Illyrian tribes, Greeks, Romans, Byzantines, and Hungarian, Zadar was ruled by Venice from 1409 to 1797. Explore the old city's Roman Forum, St. Donatus Church, Cathedral of Anastasia, and Archaeological Museum.
For hundred of years Dubrovnik was an independent city-state, competing with Venice for Constantinople's trade routes. Visit the Franciscan Monastery, Dominican Monastery, and Baroque Cathedral, with works by Titian and Andrea del Sarto. Also view the courtyard of the Rector's Palace.
Arrive in Saranda and drive to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Butrint. Inhabited since prehistoric times, the city was founded by the Trojans, or so claimed the poet Virgil. A gem of an archaeological site, its ruins span 2,500 years and include the remains of a Greek acropolis, Roman theater, 6th-century baptistry, and 19th-century fortress.
Enjoy the sea breeze from deck and you cruise through the azure Mediterranean waters.
Travel to storied Carthage from port in Tunis. The site includes several Phoenician and Roman ruins. In Tunis, tour the Bardo Museum, renowned for its spectacular collection of Roman mosaics, and enjoy leisure time visiting the medina and it souks. Alternatively take an excursion to Dougga, a well-reserved ancient site.
Discover the ancient site of Hippo Regius. St. Augustine was a bishop here from AD 396 until his death in AD 430. Explore the Roman Forum, the largest and oldest in North Africa, and the Baths, dedicated to Septimius Severus. Also visit the modern-day Basilica of St. Augustine, crowning the hill overlooking the site. Sail along the rugged Algerian coast in the afternoon.
From the port of Skikda, drive inland to Constantine, often call the "City of Bridges" due to the numerous picturesque bridges connecting the mountains among which the city is built. First visit the archaeological site of Tidis. Continue to the city of Constantine, situated atop a plateau at the edge of a deep ravine. It is home to historical sites, some of which we will have the opportunity to visit, including the Paias du Bey, located in Constantine's well-preserved and historic kasbah.
Disembark in Bejaia for an excursion tot he remarkably well-preserved Roman ruins of Djemila. The site includes the Triumphal Arch to Emperor Caracalla, built in AD 216; the Grand Baths; the market; and the Old Forum. Also visit the museum with its collection of superb mosaics and other artifacts.
Arrive in Algiers and visit Tipasa, whose ancient temples and ruins dramatically overlook the Mediterranean. Visit the ruins of the Villa of Frescoes, a Roman mansion; the 2nd-century AD Judicial Basilica; the 4th-century Christian Basilica; the site's museum; and the Tombeau de la Chretienne, burial place of Mauritanian King Juba II and his wife, Cleopatra Selene. Also enjoy a tour of Algiers, Algeria's coastal capital, a mix of French villas, massive monuments, and a hillside kasbah.
As you sail along the coast of North Africa, relax and prepare for the final stops on your journey.
Drive inland to Tlemcen, one of Algeria's finest cities, noted for its cultural and architectural heritage. Visit the 11th-century Great Mosque and the deconstructed Sidi Bel Hassan Mosque, now housing a museum with manuscripts and 12th-century carvings.
Founded by the Phoenicians in the 7th century BC, Tangier was later held by Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, and Visigoths, followed by the Arabs in 709, who used it as the base of their Spanish invasion. Spend the afternoon exploring the medina, a classic Moroccan town of narrow lanes and stepped passages, dominated by its old citadel, or kasbah. Also visit the Dar el Makhzen, the former sultans' palace, now a museum of antiquities and crafts, and the Old American Legation, a former palace given to the U.S. in 1777 to house America's first embassy. (Morocco was the first country to recognize the independent U.S.)
Disembark in Malagra and transfer to the airport to continue your travels.

Just to riterate what's already been said upthread: train, practise, and develop your sprint, at least by doing it, if not in conjunction with specific training regimens both on the bike and in the gym, which help you build strength and power.
Chaad--'95 DeKerf Team SL, '02 Lemond Buenos Aires, '05 Novara Buzz, '73 Schwinn Collegiate, '06 Mountain Cycle Rumble, '09 Dahon Mariner D7, '12 Mercier Nano, '12 Breezer Venturi
Given the type of bike, I think the most practical way to get through an intersection quickly will be:
- start in quite a low gear, something you'd climb hills in
- push off, stand on the pedals for a few strokes to get off the line
- then sit and quickly spin the revs up to pretty high, like 100 rpm or so
- quickly change up one gear, revs up, change up, revs, etc.
Basic idea is using leg speed, high rpm and lower gear, instead of using leg power, low rpm, and higher gear. Like accelerating a manual shift car, you start in a low gear, keep the motor at a high rpm, and flick through the gears. OP will probably be through the intersection by the second gear change.
Reason? This is a city-type bike with upright position, high and swept back bars, platform pedals, step through frame. It isn't designed for the rider to apply big power like on a sprint. You can't get the right body position, pull down hard on the bars, or push and pull hard on the pedals. I also think the OP is a nicely dressed lady in skirts and street shoes, not in tights and cleated bike shoes. Finally, I think the OP should be able to get across the intersection quickly now, without first spending months in the weight room building thighs like steel thunder. So track start technique might be of limited relevance and a fixed gear bike would be a bad choice.
Practicing fast gear changing will be helpful. I can't recall if the bike has IGH or derailleur, but anyway it has indexed shifting so you can bang through the shifts quickly.

Your signature contains too many lines and must be shortened. You may only have up to 2 line(s). Long text may have been implicitly wrapped, causing it to be
He even mentions "vicious sprints" which is basically what you want to do if you are trying to improve your acceleration across an intersection. Maybe not "vicious" but you want to sprint.When you climb a super steep short hill, you actually can pull up on the upward-moving pedal for a few strokes, and doing so helps you turn over the other pedal

It is a simple notebook I picked up from the local dollarstore-slash-bakery that our small town relies on for local crafting supplies. And donuts....baked fresh each Wednesday. The first year I brought the empty book to the Thanksgiving table it was met with a little hesitation.
I've been using the power of Santa Claus for a few weeks now, and things are looking good. For maximum effectiveness, the use of Santa and his omnipresence is good for the window directly following Halloween until December 25. During this time, I enjoy the increased attentiveness, dearth of meltdowns and general calm that precedes Christmas day.
