Annie Marie Ryan was born August 10, 1984, the youngest of our six children. For twelve and a half wonderful years we were blessed with her presence. She was a feisty child, full of life and love, with a smile that could light up a room! We lost Annie to a brain tumor in January of 1997. As a family, we came to the realization that the only way we could really heal was to try to help other children.
On June 5, 2016, we will proudly partner with Catholic Charities again to host the 17th Annual Annie Ryan Run benefiting Catholic Charities of the Archdiocese of Chicago's Children's Programs. We do it in memory of a little girl who left us too soon but whose spirit and smile will always be with us.

He also tackles the complex question of how an existing culture can be changedone of the toughest challenges of leadership.

The food-poisoning scare centered on frozen "gyoza" meat and vegetable dumplings from China spread nationwide Thursday as the number of reported victims rose to at least 451 in 35 prefectures.
It has not been confirmed, however, if the claims of illness, including dizziness and nausea, filed with public health centers or other institutions nationwide by more than 400 people who said they have eaten the products, are linked to the pesticide earlier detected in one of the products.
The health ministry hastily compiled a nationwide database on food poisoning cases allegedly related to the dumplings after it was reported Wednesday that 10 people in two prefectures who ate them had been sickened by pesticide found inside.
Food companies are withdrawing products supplied by the Chinese company, Tianyang Food, based in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, that reportedly made the suspect dumplings.
Skylark Co., a major family-style restaurant chain, said it will stop using processed food from China — mainly frozen fried seafood — at the group's roughly 3,300 outlets. Some major department stores said they are also considering pulling made-in-China vegetables, fruit and frozen foods from their shelves.
The Chinese government meanwhile said preliminary tests carried out on samples of frozen dumplings made by Tianyang Food have shown no traces of pesticide.
Chinese authorities also said they have ordered the company to halt production and exports, and to recall all of its products, both domestically and overseas.
Gyoza, called "jiaozi" in Chinese, are dumplings made of thinly rolled pieces of dough wrapped around fillings of ground meat and vegetables. Preliminary reports from health centers said dozens of victims had complained of falling ill after eating Chinese-made gyoza.
The products in question were made by Tianyang Food and imported by Tokyo-based JT Foods Co., a subsidiary of Japan Tobacco. JT Foods has announced it will pull all products made by Tianyang Food from store shelves.
In the Diet, Health, Labor and Welfare Minister Yoichi Masuzoe told consumers not to eat any of the products being pulled from store shelves.
"Please check your refrigerator and never eat the food products," Masuzoe said. "This is a life-threatening matter. The government must exert the utmost effort to prevent further damage."
Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda also stressed the need to review the channels of communications between related institutions in such cases. It took about one month before the first confirmed poisoning case in Chiba was reported to the health ministry.
Food-poisoning reports connected with the dumplings have been flooding into local health centers across the country after the initial cases were reported Wednesday. Later that day, seven other people, in Akita, Saitama, Kanagawa and Kumamoto prefectures, also reported falling ill after consuming the gyoza.
Fresh reports involving hundreds of more people came in Thursday from across Japan, including the prefectures of Hokkaido, Aomori, Fukushima, Tokyo, Saitama, Kanagawa, Shizuoka, Ishikawa, Aichi, Kochi, Osaka, Hyogo, Fukuoka, Nagasaki and Okinawa.
Prefectural offices nationwide are busy checking the reports to see if they were caused by the gyoza or other products made by the Chinese producer.
Masuzoe also said the ministry is ready to revise the law to plug loopholes in current food industry regulations.
Senior officials from the Cabinet Office, the health ministry, the agriculture ministry and the National Police Agency are teaming up on the matter and have agreed to work together to prevent the damage from spreading and to find the cause.
The health ministry also released the same day the names of 19 Japanese firms that had imported products other than dumplings from Tianyang Food and urged them through local governments to stop selling them.
Many of the products were not final products for consumption, but processed beef, pork and other ingredients used by restaurants.
Among the 19 firms, eight are based in Tokyo, another eight in Osaka, one in Hyogo, one in Aichi and one in Shizuoka, the ministry said.
On Thursday, three more food companies announced they will pull products made by Tianyang Food — Maruha Corp., Nippon Meat Packers Inc. and Nihon Shokken Co.
Maruha, Nippon Meat Packers and Nihon Shokken, which are not among the 19, said their products use materials made by the Chinese producer.
Major frozen food company Katokichi Co. also said Wednesday it will withdraw 18 products manufactured by Tianyang Food.
It was also revealed Thursday that several kindergartens and elementary and junior high schools in Akita and Tochigi prefectures have served food products subject to recall by JT Foods.
None of the schools has reported any health problems related to the lunches, Tochigi and Akita officials said.
In Beijing, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday that quality inspectors have carried out tests on two batches of frozen dumplings made by Tianyang Food, but found no trace of any harmful chemicals.
The samples tested were from gyoza produced on Oct. 1 and 20 last year, which were when the products consumed in Japan were made, according to the General Administration of Quality Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine.

San Diego, CA (AP) - In an unprecedented lawsuit, People for the
Ethical Treatment of Animals is accusing the SeaWorld marine parks
of keeping five of its star-performer killer whales in conditions
that violate the 13th Amendment ban on slavery.
PETA says the suit, to be filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court
in San Diego, is the first federal court case seeking
constitutional rights for members of an animal species.
The chances of the suit succeeding are slim, according to legal
experts not involved in the case. But the case is likely to enliven
a debate over expansion of animal rights that's already bubbling at
law schools across the country.
Sea World vigorously defended the care that it provides to the
orcas and depicted the lawsuit as baseless and offensive.

Here are some great tales to inspire you - why not tell us how we have helped you
Regular British Library user Anthony Horowitz is the bestselling author of children's novels including the Alex Rider books. He is also a television screenwriter, the creator of ITV's popular Midsomer Murders and Foyle's War, the detective series set during the Second World War.
"It is probably Foyle's War that brings me to the British Library more often than anything. For example, I was working on an episode about the British Free Corps, a group of British prisoners of war who were recruited by Hitler. I really needed to get under the skin of the characters.
At the British Library I located a key book – the memoir of a spy planted in the unit. A footnote about the use of coded messages led to another rare volume about MI9, the wartime intelligence service. If you see the episode you will see the code is fully described. So that is why I love coming here. It really is a one-stop shop.
I also find material for my children's books at the Library. Sources have included the sixth century text upon which the Power of Five series is based. The British Library is the most wonderful resource. I love the atmosphere, the outside courtyards – I even love the food. And of course all the books in the world at my fingertips."

Thread: What if I named my baby girl....

What if I named my baby girl....
Gemini Kismet
what do you guys think? I have been obsessing over baby names for the last few days. Since finding out that my twins are boy/girl I can't stop thinking about what to name this little girl!! I was sooo sure there were two boys in there. I am excited and sort of IN LOVE with the name Gemini. But I feel like it might be too "out there." Her brother will be named Elwood, my boyfriend is completely attached to the name, even though it took me forever to like.
Elwood & Gemini?
I guess I don't mind having twins with completely different names from each other, but if I wasn't going to go with the First-letter matching I wanted to at least go with a theme.
Other options are:
Maya Gemini
Emmalynn Gemini ( do you think that EMmalynn GEMini, is too repetitive? "em em")
But now I am attached to Kismet as a middle name, but cannot let go of Gemini.
Who can think of some good combo's with Kismet for a middle name?

- Democratic Burmese Delegation Visits New Zealand : A high level delegation of exiled Burmese democratic leaders has called upon New Zealand to take further action against the military regime. The debate in the media over sanctions was confusing. Foreign Minister Phil Goff said that sanctions would ordinary people only because most of our exports to that country were milk powder.
- Anzac Day And Gallipoli : Chief of Defence Staff Bruce Ferguson raised some eyebrows with a comment in his speech given at Gallipoli that:
- A Wellingtonian In Aceh . Cameron Burnell, an aid worker and photographer based in Wellington, is currently travelling through Aceh, Indonesia evaluating and overseeing the tsunami relief effort of Caritas. Cameron will be telling the story and posting photos of his travels at: Aceh Photos. Well worth a look.
However, when asked by Keith Locke at a public meeting in Auckland, the delegation leader, U Maung Maung, made it clear that their focus was banning exports from Burma. He has also made the point that ordinary people would not be affected as they could not afford dairy products in a country where the defence budget was more than 10 times larger than the health budget. Keith asked why New Zealand couldn't go at least as far as the United States government does and impose an import and investment ban on Burma. Keith will be following this up with Parliamentary questions.
U Maung Maung is general secretary of the National Council of the Union of Burma and the Federation of Trade Unions of Burma. Exiled MPs U Hla Oa and U Daniel Aung were also in the delegation, and prompted the formation, on April 23, of a New Zealand Parliamentarians for a Democratic Burma group. Keith is a member of it.
The Council of Trade Unions also met the Burmese leaders and passed a strong motion for sanctions against Burma. (See CTU - Free Burma.
"Our military professionals today see in this campaign [Gallipoli] joint warfare at its worst, at least from the British side: lack of co-ordination, lack of focus, blunders and the squandering of life.
"Perhaps the Gallipoli campaign was a high-water mark of our nation's imperial subservience."
Keith made a similar point on TVNZ's Saturday morning Eye To Eye debate on ANZAC day and defence issues last week and has supported Air Marshall Ferguson against his critics.
- Support The (Zimbabwe Cricket) Tour Boycott - sign on line at Say No to the Zimbabwe Tour!!.
See below for Rod Donald's questions in Parliament on the tour.
- Zimbabwe Black Caps Cricket Tour - Rod Donald questions the PM on 12 April.
- Coalition Warns Of Global Mass Surveillance . Civil liberties groups called on countries around the globe Wednesday to rein in "intrusive and discriminatory measures" - from national ID cards to no-fly lists - implemented in the name of fighting terrorism. The International Campaign Against Mass Surveillance decried the growing web of security tools employed by governments in the post-Sept. 11 era to profile, monitor and track individuals.
- Halt all collection, storage and use of data and information-sharing
practices contrary to existing privacy and human rights laws and
- Ensure citizens can correct personal data held by governments and
challenge misuse, including placement on a security watch list.
- Stop wholesale collection of information on individuals, such as
purchase of databanks from private companies.
- Halt introduction of a universal biometric passport and the creation
of "sharing standards" for passenger information until the issues have
been openly debated.
- The UN Must Act On Darfur Now . Ann-Louise Colgan, Director for Policy Analysis & Communications at Africa Action, the oldest Africa advocacy organization in the U.S. Pleads for urgent intervention to prevent further deaths and atrocities in the 'forgotten' conflict zone of Darfur.
Rod Donald (Co-Leader-Green) to the Prime Minister: When she said yesterday "personally I wouldn't be seen dead there", was she hoping that individual New Zealand cricket players would follow her lead and withdraw from the proposed Black Caps tour of Zimbabwe; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Michael Cullen (Deputy Prime Minister), on behalf of the Prime Minister: The Prime Minister was expressing her personal view. The decision as to whether the New Zealand cricket team tours Zimbabwe is one for the players and New Zealand Cricket to make.
Rod Donald: Is the Prime Minister concerned that a tour by an official New Zealand cricket team to Zimbabwe could be seen as giving tacit approval to Robert Mugabe's pariah State and therefore could undermine the Government's condemnation of the rigged election recently held in Zimbabwe; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Michael Cullen: No, because both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade have made clear on many occasions New Zealand's abhorrence of the Mugabe regime.
Rod Donald: Will the Government consider advising New Zealand Cricket that if it withdraws from the Zimbabwe tour on moral or political grounds, the Government would underwrite any fine imposed by the International Cricket Council; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Michael Cullen: No. That would create an unfortunate precedent for the future in many similar kinds of cases, I would have thought.
Rod Donald: Does the Prime Minister consider that there is value in New Zealand pursuing sporting boycotts against Zimbabwe, given their effectiveness in helping to overturn South Africa's apartheid regime in the 1980s; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Michael Cullen: Yes. Certainly, sporting boycotts have worked in the past, but no New Zealand Government has ever attempted to prevent a New Zealand team going overseas, as opposed to preventing a team coming to New Zealand.
Rod Donald: Will the Prime Minister encourage the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Phil Goff, to follow the example of the British Government and meet with New Zealand's representative on the International Cricket Council with a view to requesting an international sporting boycott of Zimbabwe; if not, why not?
Hon Dr Michael Cullen: That is a matter for Mr Goff. I think it is fair to say that the current policy of the International Cricket Council makes these decisions very difficult for sporting teams, and the policy could well be revisited, but that, again, is a matter for cricketers and cricketing organisations throughout the world.
Driven largely by the United States, countries are aggressively using information gathered and shared through electronic systems to crack down on dissent, close borders to refugees and activists, and seize and detain people without reasonable grounds, the ad-hoc coalition says.

''Intervene to Save Darfur
For the past two years, the destruction of Darfur has played out before the eyes of the world, and the member countries of the United Nations have remained largely paralyzed. Recent UN votes on sanctions and on a referral to the International Criminal Court are important steps forward on Darfur, but they are not enough. Unless there is a rapid and robust international intervention in Darfur, up to a million people could be dead by the end of this year. As the genocide continues, the need for immediate humanitarian intervention can no longer be disputed.
Up to 400,000 people have died in Darfur, and yet the U.S. and international response remains absolutely insufficient. Discussions on the crisis at the UN stalled for months, as the government of Sudan continued to wage its genocidal campaign with impunity. Recent reports confirm that the security situation on the ground is deteriorating, and that the humanitarian crisis is reaching desperate proportions.
Faced with this worst crime against humanity, the most powerful countries in the world have applied small humanitarian band-aids, but have been unwilling to mount a robust response to end the violence and provide protection to millions of vulnerable Darfurians. The international community has left the people of Darfur in what UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan recently described as "little short of hell on earth."
The African Union (AU) force on the ground in Darfur is doing what it can in the face of growing insecurity, but it remains ill-equipped to respond to a crisis of this magnitude. Its 2,200 troops are too few to cover an area the size of France, and its mandate does not extend to an ability to provide life-saving protection to civilians. The AU effort also faces grave financial and logistical challenges. The African Union has provided important leadership on the crisis in Darfur, but it cannot and should not have to shoulder this enormous burden alone.
The growing humanitarian crisis in Darfur must also be clearly understood as part of the government-sponsored genocide. Up to 3 million Darfurians are currently described as "conflict-afflicted," having been driven from their homes as a result of the scorched-earth policies of the Khartoum government and its proxy militias. The growing humanitarian need far outstrips the capacity of humanitarian agencies operating on the ground, and there are indicators of imminent famine. The government continues to drive civilians from their homes and into situations of desperate need, and then obstructs the humanitarian response with devastating human consequences.
In the face of this ongoing genocide, the international community has been consistently unwilling to accept its responsibility to take urgent action, and has instead settled on what lowest-common-denominator response UN members can agree on. The UN Security Council continues to hesitate largely because of economic and political interests of its permanent members, especially China and Russia, and no country has been willing to expend the diplomatic capital required to overcome their objections and impel urgent action.
The U.S., for its part, has invested nowhere near the efforts that its acknowledgment of genocide last September should dictate. Even as thousands continue to die in Darfur, a White House official recently claimed that the President "has more pressing priorities." But increasing numbers of people across the country are raising their voices to ask: what can be more pressing than genocide?
Genocide is an international crime and it requires an international response. The U.S. and other countries must no longer be allowed to hide behind the slogan of "African solutions for African problems," abdicating their own responsibility in full knowledge that the AU cannot respond to this crisis alone. The situation in Darfur requires a strong international presence on the ground to reinforce and expand upon the efforts of the African Union. This is what the U.S. should be calling for at the UN.
To stop the genocide, the UN must work with the AU to strengthen its mandate under Chapter 7 of the UN Charter to enable the AU mission to enforce the cease-fire in Darfur and protect civilians. A robust international force must also be quickly assembled to complement and bolster the AU. Such an intervention would: (1) stop the killing and provide security for millions of internally displaced people (IDPs); (2) facilitate the urgent delivery of humanitarian assistance; (3) enforce the cease-fire and provide a stable environment for meaningful peace talks to proceed; and (4) facilitate the return of IDPs to their land and the reconstruction of their homes by providing a secure environment.
Kofi Annan recently noted that the situation in Darfur is "unacceptable," but indeed it has been considered "acceptable" by the international community for far too long. Nothing short of international intervention will stop the genocide in Darfur and this must be the immediate priority. Many thousands of lives can still be saved if the international community acts quickly and with determination.''

I'm coming from a vmware environment, wanting to play with Xen. I have a server with 2 x 500G SATA drives (no hardware RAID available, have to use software-based RAID1).
My partitions are all RAID1 except for swap. I left a little over 400G for my VMs and I would like to use LVM for the disk images. For domU's swap, should I allocate that from the 400G or should that be coming from dom0's partition? I asked because I've seen numerous config options that shows either or.

I wonder why people keep saying Lilycove? Its a nice town and all but...it just doesn't have that capital aire to it. Though it does have some cool stuff. Slateport or Maville would be better probably because they are in the center of the largest part of the region, have trade areas, shops, ships, beaches, Pokemon contest, muesems, attractions, and Maville is right near it. Together those two could be capitals together since they are so close. But Rustboro is kind-of located in a not-so convenient area and only has Trainer School and Devon Corporation. Nothing compared to some of the other cities. Mossdeap seams kinda out there though, more of a relaxing scientific area then a capital. Sootopolis is cool but devinatly too ancient and sucluded to be a capitol.

Dead Ringers
- Artists Pete Schwinge, Eric Shans, Niabi
- Release Date 2013-12-03
- Labels 3Bridge Records
- Catalog 3B109
Hot on the heels of the last 3 Bridge Records release by Eric Shans "Light Of Day", "Dead Ringers" takes things in a darker, more ominous direction. On this track, he features Niabi Caldwell, who delivers a perfectly fitting dead pan vocal over the 3 different versions featured on this single.
The "Telephonic Mix" is composed of dirty bass lines, layered percussion, and textured sounds and stabs that would fit any peak time set. The "Off The Hook" mix dials down the energy just a bit, but is equally shrouded in the same mysterious haze of fog machines and neon lights, and the "Schwinge's Space Cadet Mix" (by DJ/Producer Pete Schwinge) takes things into melodic space disco territory, bringing it all home.

Straw hats, large and small, are fun to decorate as an activity at parties or to hang on the wall. This is a guide about decorating straw hats.
Sunflowers painted on straw hats.
Approximate Time 1 hour
Since everyone's sunflowers are in bloom now, I thought I would share this craft.
By Sandy from Bluff City, TN
What says summer more than a little lady bug. Here is a hat that will make you want to go sit in the garden with a large glass of ice tea and just watch the world go by. It also will make a stylish accessory for the summer time barbecues for us ladies that need to wear a hat during the summer to protect our skin.
I hope you have a wonderful time making this little "bug." You can also make this for your favorite little girl by using a smaller hat. This would also make a great hat for a Kentucky Derby party, A Victorian Tea party or a Red Hat Society function.
These are just guidelines. You could change the colors, you could add flowers, you could make the streamers longer in the back. These are easy to make and if you are buying hats at thrift stores you will find many shapes of straw hats.
You can find inspiration for your creations by Googling Victorian hats or Kentucky Derby hats.
Time: One afternoon
By Debra from Colorado Springs, CO
These adorable little hats can be hung on the wall, added to wreaths, used as gift bag tie-ons, or as refrigerator magnets. You can also make a few to sell at a craft fair. They are easy to make and allow you to make use of all the bits and pieces of leftover craft materials you have lying around.
The hats, themselves, are relatively inexpensive if you buy them at a craft store, but check yard sales for even cheaper ones. That's where I found mine.
Crafting Time: 30 - 45 minutes
By Marie E. Cecchini from West Dundee, IL
Where can I buy little girl straw hats to decorate at a girl's tea party?
By Quana from Dayton, OH
Try your local craft store.
I need ideas for how to decorate a straw hat for a mother's day banquet.
Ruth from Russell
Find fake flowers at a thrift shop, rinse them up in the bathtub if you don't have a kitchen sink sprayer, and cut them up to hot-glue around the brim.
I would like to know where I can buy books or get instruction ideas for decorating large women's straw hats for home decor.
By Esther from Dawsonville, GA
I would tie a ribbon about 1 inch wide around it like for a hat band and tie it in a bow with streamers hanging, like a woman would wear it with the streamers hanging in the back. Then glue some silk flowere wherever you would want to on the hat. It is more of matter of how you like the appearance rather that what a book might show.
Here's a cute hat made from a straw hat and craft foam.

Is it possible with Javascript or jQuery to convert mp3, wav, etc. to m4r format?
Let's assume you had a library that can change the format of files.
Let's also assume you only need the application to work on current browsers that implement
You wouldn't be able to write the output file back to the user because JavaScript is not allowed to access the local filesystem.
Your only solution would become sending the converted file to the server and the server sending it back to you with a force download directive so that the user will be prompted to download the results.
Now back to if there were a library that can the conversion (or even native JavaScript)... I haven't heard of any. It's not impossible to build one but it is impractical and wouldn't run very fast.
Let's not forget Node.js!
It's a backend server that uses Google Chrome's V8 JavaScript interpretor/compiler. And it runs JavaScript as a backend scripting engine.
You have access to filesystem, databases and everything if you use that (or any other backend system for that matter) and still be using JavaScript. You can use libraries too. Either written in JavaScript or libraries written in other languages that have been linked to interface with Node.js.
Edit 2:
There is a PC emulator written entirely in JavaScript. It runs binary executables if you want it to. It's called JSLinux.
If you're feeling particularly rambunctious you can grab the
Indeed, it is possible doing this on the client using the latest js technologies. A web-worker thread can do the work in the background. At least in Firefox and Chrome it is also possible to read ("upload in memory") and write ("download from memory") files using the new W3C File API, see here.
I managed to read files via drag&drop from and within the client using google's GWT which in the end is plain javascript, so it must also be possible to do it "natively".
Besides that, the conversation algorithm of course has to be implemented in a javascript web worker to avoid blocking the gui. This should be the hardest part, but not impossible, though.
You would need a backend to do this. You may want to look into the PHPExtension of FFmpeg

Additional Information
More information about this loan
This loan is designed for people who have no access to financial services because they lack collateral or credit history, or run informal businesses. Caja Señor de Luren identifies these clients through a unique scoring system that evaluates their repayment capacity based on socio-economic and demographic indicators. The goal is to expand access to credit to vulnerable borrowers, empowering them to improve their income and living conditions.
About Caja Rural Señor de LurenCaja Rural Señor de Luren is a microfinance institution based in Ica in southern Peru that primarily promotes the development of the country's agricultural sector through lending. Today, it also offers credit for consumers, microenterprises and housing improvements, and has expanded its financial services to promote micro-savings and provide micro-insurance. This institution has been instrumental in helping borrowers recover from the devastating earthquake in the Ica region in 2007, and works with Peru's National Bank to reach some of the poorest and most remote microfinance clients in the country.
About Housing Loans
Many poor families cannot afford housing that meets their needs. When you make a housing loan on Kiva, you give people access to flexible capital to obtain or improve their homes. Better housing means better health, sanitation, and even educational outcomes for children. A house can also be much more for entrepreneurs who run businesses out of their homes. In this way, housing and small business loans on Kiva share a common purpose: to alleviate poverty and enable families to enjoy more stable lives.

Still in CA, but coming home soon
Just a quick post to say we've been having a great time and finding LOTS to do (and good things to eat) in CA. The weather was rainy today, but the rest of the time it was just gorgeous so I can't complain. The only thing I really feel justified to complain about is that someone almost hit us as we were crossing the street in Little Italy tonight. The car literally came within a couple inches of Ava's stroller and my leg. It is seriously scary to think about the what ifs. Thankfully we were fine, just a little shook up.

Pork Tenderloin Simple Tailgating Solution
Easy Barbecue Pork Tenderloin
Pork tenderloins are simple, delicious and lighter than usual tailgating fare. They're the perfect size to slice and serve on dinner rolls as a barbecue slider or slice and eat with your fingers. If you don't want to make your own sauce, use your favorite brand.
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon salt
2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
1 cup tangy, Carolina-style barbecue sauce (recipe below) or your favorite bottled barbecue sauce
• Roll tenderloins in oil mixture and let stand until grill is ready.
• Prepare a fire in half of the grill. If using gas, light half the burgers.
• Grill tenderloins 1 minute on each side.
• Once each side has been seared, brush with sauce and grill again 1 minute on each side.
• Once sauce has caramelized, brush all sides again and move away from direct heat and close lid. Roast an extra 10 to 15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 155 degrees. If you don't have a lid, cover with foil or a lid.
• Remove tenderloins and let stand 5 to 10 minutes. The pork will still be cooking. If sliced into too soon, you will lose the flavor-carrying juices within.
• Carve and serve on bread with coleslaw and extra sauce.
Carolina-Style Barbecue Sauce
1/2 cup soybean oil or vegetable oil
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup prepared yellow mustard
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon Louisiana or Tabasco hot sauce
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce

A Method to Remove Fringes from Images using Wavelets (with IDL's defringeflat v1.5.5)
Preprint of the paper describing the defringing algorithm. In press on The Astrophysical Journal as of September 2006. [PDF] (3.533Mb)

Rojo, Patricio; Harrington, Joseph
We have developed a new method that uses wavelet analysis to remove interference fringe patterns from images. This method is particularly useful for flat fields in the common case where fringes vary between the calibration and object data. We analyze the efficacy of this method by creating fake flats with fictitious fringes and removing the fringes. We find that the method removes 90% of the fringe pattern if its amplitude is equal to the random noise level and 60% if the fringe amplitude is ~1/10 of the noise level. We also present examples using real flat-field frames. Version 1.5.5 of a routine written in IDL that implements this algorithm is available from the authors and as an attachment to this paper.

I have to vote for the old style, but technically i like them both.
The new gyms are great, the fact that you have to battle all the trainers before the gym leader is nice, it helps a lot the first time you play for building a strategy to use with the leader and it even trains you better.
The puzzles thought, change a bit the things. First is the reality of the game: you go to a city and enter the gym to battle the leader and his pupils, not to past labyrinths and puzzles to reach him. The gym leader is suppose to beat you, not to make you made with games, he's not Saw xD
Because the first puzzles are too simple, like the mazes that just make you lose time. Then comes those puzzles like the teleport pads that gives me a headache and it takes me years to reach the gym leader.
I prefer going straight to the leader, beating all his pupils at the same time. If i want to do some puzzles, i can just go and have fun at the puzzle master that there was i think in Ruby, Sapphire and Emerald, that where even made very well and more entertaining.

Wilmoth: North Dakota refinery to be nation's first new facility in 35 years
The flood of new domestic crude oil production over the past five years has created a series of challenges for an industry that for decades had been cutting back.
U.S. oil production surged to nearly 2.4 billion barrels in 2012, up 30 percent from 1.8 billion barrels in 2008. Last year's production was the highest since 1996.
The new crude has flooded the country's pipeline system and refineries.
In response, crews broke ground this week on the country's first new refinery in 35 years. Another received an air quality permit last year, but construction has not yet started.
Both of the new refineries are set for North Dakota, near the Bakken field that has been the fastest-growing oil field in the world for the past four years.
Both refineries also are relatively small and mostly will make products for the oil patch.
The Dakota Prairie facility is located near the southern edge of the Bakken play and is expected online by the end of 2014. The Trenton Diesel Refinery is planned in northern North Dakota near the Montana state line.
Both plants are expected to be 20,000 barrel-per-day refineries that will focus on producing diesel and kerosene to be used by trucks, pumps and rigs throughout the area.
The Bakken is only one example of unconventional oil resources the industry has unlocked in recent years.
New drilling efforts throughout Oklahoma and Texas — along with new and expanded pipeline capacity from Canada — have created a backlog around Cushing, the storage hub where West Texas Intermediate crude is priced.
Cushing has been home to refineries before, but the last closed decades ago.
In 2006, a development group including the Sac & Fox Nation and SemGroup Inc. announced plans for a $4 billion, 150,000-barrel-per-day refinery near Cushing. The project stalled as refined product demand collapsed during the recession.
The country's economics and the oil industry both have changed since 2006. Oklahoma Energy Secretary Mike Ming said he has heard of no recent discussions about a new refinery in Cushing, but that the site might make sense.
"We would certainly look seriously at a new refinery possibility," Ming said.
"The new supplies have come on so fast and at such a magnitude that I think it is a discussion worth having. Anytime you can take advantage of pricing or geographies, the consumer can benefit from that."
But don't expect anything soon.
"Refineries are big capital-investment projects that require long-term commitments and a lot of permitting," Ming said. "Building a new refinery is a much bigger challenge than upgrading an existing refinery."

Nintendo recently invited a hand full of people to a group of weekend events in Denver and with it wrapped up, the kids, adults, gamers and everyone other person who was in attendance now has a clearer picture of what the Wii U will be about.
The experience was a very revealing and mind-opening one in a lot of respects.
First off, getting a chance to experience some of the games that will be available on the Wii U and how they will incorporate the Wii U gamepad was great.
In just about every single title the gamepad will be a major part of the Wii U experience, and for some games that is a great thing, but for others it isn't.
Nintendo showed off Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition at the event. It played well and looked great. The incorporation of the gamepad at times was a bit inconvenient though.
Specifically, throwing the boomerang to gain access into a locked room was fairly frustrating and was not simple enough where anyone could pick up the game and start mowing through it. The mechanics were a bit unnatural. Experience is definitely needed for Arkham City.
It starts to make one wonder if the multiple-platformed, third party titles the Wii U will receive are going to be worth playing on the console.
This had been brought up because of the abrupt stops gamers experienced when playing Batman. The game itself was great without the pad, but when it was brought into play, it really started to drag things out a bit.
It was the only one third party title though, so keeping an open-mind and finding out for yourself is still the safest bet.
Just about every other title shown at the event worked great with the gamepad. Nintendo's titles that were on hand worked fantastically well and provided a lot of smiles.
Nintendoland will be a multiple game pack in one. It's similar in the way Wii Sports was with different sports you could play on the same disc.
Nintendoland is legitimate and will be extremely fun for people of all ages and yes, even for hardcore gamers as well.
It will be comprised of 12 games, five of which were demoed. Luigi's Mansion was one of the most fun titles they had. There were five players total and four of them needed to chase a ghost through a maze-type map, trying to shine their flashlights on it.
The gamepad seems to be the device the lone player uses in the titles that place one versus four or three. That was the case in Luigi's Mansion. It's practical and fun to use.
Next up was Project P-100 (working title). This game allows you to control up to 50 superheroes at one time. In order to gain more and more superheroes, gamers must defeat enemies threatening civilians, and then once they are safe, gamers draw a circle around the freed people using the gamepad, and that turns them into superheroes.
All of the gameplay features are very diverse, with convenient incorporation of the gamepad at necessary times.
This game could be a breakout title for Nintendo as the system launches.
New Super Mario Brothers U was also on hand to play. This game is vintage Mario, with up to five players being able to join the action. One of the five will man the gamepad as they assist the other four in trying to jump distances that normally wouldn't be possible.
The block building assistant is a crucial element to the game and again keeps multiple people involved. Mario fans will be more than happy with this new installment in the franchise.
Finally, Rayman Legends was on hand. The demo that was shown at Ubisoft's E3 press briefing was one option that was playable. There was another level available as well and that one played straight into the E3 level.
Legends looks incredible and will be a fun title for up to two people to enjoy. One player will be doing the running, jumping and kicking, while the other will be using the Wii U gamepad to assist Rayman.
The person using the pad will be able to help fight off enemies, contribute to the mini games that are available, cut ropes for Rayman to jump to and rotate blocks allowing him to advance further in levels.
Wii U users will need to make sure they have Rayman Legends on their holiday shopping lists.
Also, for those who did not know, one of the Nintendo representatives that were on hand said the old Wii controllers will not be usable on Wii U. They look and play the exact same, but they are not compatible with the Wii U system.
The system's graphics were top-notch but were not much better than what the Playstation 3 is capable of. The specs may be more powerful and better than the Playstation 3 on paper, but the titles on hand did not blow the Playstation or Xbox away at all.
All of the representatives were locked safes in the way of details regarding price, release date or specs, which was to be expected.
The entire industry should find out some of those details, if not all, when Nintendo hosts their Wii U event in New York on Sept. 13th.

Monroe police say a man who they believe carried out an elaborate armored-car robbery involving an inner-tube getaway has been linked to the crime through DNA evidence.
Monroe police say a man who they believe carried out an elaborate armored-car robbery — involving an inner-tube getaway and unwitting decoys lured by a phony Craigslist ad — has been linked to the crime through DNA evidence.
Police said they recovered a "significant" amount of money Monday night when they arrested 28-year-old Anthony J. Curcio, of Lake Stevens, at a department-store parking lot. Curcio is being held in the Snohomish County Jail on a warrant for first-degree robbery.
Police allege Curcio, dressed in a blue shirt, safety vest, particle mask and work boots, pepper-sprayed a Brinks armored-car guard outside of a Bank of America branch in Monroe on Sept. 30, grabbed a bag of money and ran toward nearby Woods Creek. At the same time, a dozen or so men dressed in similar clothing and particle masks had gathered near the bank, lured by a Craigslist ad seeking landscape workers. Police believe the ad was placed by the robber.
As Curcio ran, police said, he dropped a pepper-spray canister, a smaller bag of money, a hat, a wig, sunglasses and a particle mask.

Police later found an inner tube along the creek, but no sign of the robber.
On Tuesday, police said they're not sure how the inner tube came into play, but they believe Curcio either escaped on the inner tube himself or used it to float the money downstream.
"It was a significant amount of money," said Monroe Police Department spokeswoman Debbie Willis. "It would have been heavy and hard to carry."
A woman who answered the door at Curcio's listed address in a new subdivision in Lake Stevens on Tuesday declined to comment. A Windemere real-estate agent for the Summer Hill development, Mark Pellegrino, said that the family had been having financial troubles. Property records show he faces foreclosure on a home in King County.
According to a birth notice that ran in The Everett Herald on Oct. 19, Curcio's wife gave birth to a baby daughter on Sept. 20, 10 days before the robbery.
Police said their break in the case came thanks to an observant citizen.
About three weeks before the robbery, a Monroe city employee was contacted by a homeless man who had found a pile of items behind a trash bin near the Bank of America.
The items included a black two-way radio, a yellow reflective safety vest, a black wig with a short ponytail, dark sunglasses, a large can of mace and a baseball cap, police said.
The homeless man watched as a man drove up to the trash bin in a silver car, gathered the items and left. He wrote down the license-plate number.
Willis said police believe the homeless man may have witnessed a failed attempt at a robbery or a practice run.
She said Monroe police tracked the license-plate number to Curcio and the FBI placed him under surveillance.
His DNA was collected without his knowledge when the FBI retrieved a container he'd been using as a chewing-tobacco spittoon. DNA from the container was matched by the State Patrol crime lab to that collected from the robber's discarded particle mask, police said.
Curcio has a history of convictions for drug violations. Police said Curcio may have used a laptop to hack into someone else's wireless service to post the phony Craigslist ad.
A 26-year-old friend of Curcio's, who was with him when police served the arrest warrant, was booked into jail for investigation of possessing stolen property. That man is not being named because he has not been charged.
Police said they are still investigating and that more warrants could be issued.
They said Curcio is not cooperating with investigators, and they still want to know what role the inner tube played in the robbery. They believe it may have been stolen. They are asking anyone with information regarding the yellow inner tube, or the robbery, to call the Monroe Police Department at 360-794-6300. Anonymous information may be left on the department's tip line at 360-863-4600.

Michael Reagan Gets Convention Slot; GOP Lineup Called Too Liberal
Byline: Ralph Z. Hallow, THE WASHINGTON TIMES
The Bush campaign, faced with criticism for loading the Republican National Convention schedule with prominent social liberal speakers, now says it will feature conservative broadcaster Michael Reagan on the opening night.
The speech by the adopted son of the late President Ronald Reagan is intended as the Republican answer to the other Reagan son, Ron, who addressed the Democratic National Convention in Boston last month.
"It will be a battle of the brothers," said a Republican in New York, where the party convenes Aug. 30 to Sept. 2 in Madison Square Garden.
Mr. Reagan's addition also is likely to be welcomed by those Republicans who have complained that much of the prime-time schedule at the convention will be devoted to speakers whose positions on issues such as abortion and homosexual rights are at odds with the party's conservative majority.
Republican loyalists have been angered by Ron Reagan's criticism of President Bush's position on stem-cell research. In his eulogy at his father's California funeral in June, the younger Reagan suggested that opposition to the use of human embryos in such research was impeding advances in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease, a charge he repeated last month at the Democratic convention.
Michael Reagan has said on his radio show that his brother never shared the political views of and never voted for their father, who will be the subject of an extended tribute on the opening night of the New York convention.
The tribute - highlighting the late president's contributions to the defeat of communism as well as his philosophy of personal freedom and limited government - will be part of a Monday opening night focused on national security themes, Republicans close to the convention planning said privately. …

Hello everybody,
I have Windows XP Pro with SP3 on my Gateway Solo 5300 laptop with a 10GB hard drive installed. I would like to install a new 30GB drive.I don't know how to clone the existing drive and transfer the image to the new drive. I heard about a software, but I'm less interested to pay.The laptop has USB and a Firewire Adapter. I also have a desktop with enough hard drive space as well as an external drive I could use for the transfer. The data on the existing hard drive is only 7.25GB. The notebook has no CD or DVD burner. Which will be the best method to go about this transfer? Again, I feel I should be able to do this with the tools I have. I don't want to spend any more money to buy additional hardware/software.
thanks for any help..

Juventus are encouraging Sunderland to bid for Paolo de Ceglie.
Tuttosport says Juve have informed De Ceglie he can leave for Wearside this week and have already agreed a minor payoff to smooth the transfer.
However, Sunderland are dragging their feet in making a concrete cash bid for De Ceglie, which is baffling Juve directors given the enthusiasm shown by Paolo di Canio's club just a week ago.

Company to pay $81,000 in restitution to Vt. customersDecember 11,2012MONTPELIER - The state Department of Financial Regulation announced Tuesday that The Hartford Financial Services Group will pay more than $81,000 in restitution to Vermont customers whose auto insurance claims were not evaluated properly.
An investigation by the department determined that The Hartford had inaccurately calculated the value of total vehicle losses for 77 claims between January 2009 and September 2011. In response, The Hartford has agreed to implement new policies and procedures as well as mandatory training for all employees who handle Vermont claims.
Commissioner Steve Kimbell said he was pleased with the corrective actions the company agreed to take.
"It is always gratifying when a company acknowledges erroneous practices and strives to make improvements," Kimbell said.
The department said it will conduct a follow-up examination in about a year.MORE IN This Just InIn sifting through my ever expanding Pocket queue of things Ive been meaning to read, I found... Full Story
