Will Deliver Groceries by Bike
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
Courier service allows cyclist without cargo bikes to have Farmers Market goods delivered by bike
From the Daily Camera
Using a 5-foot-long by 2.5-foot-wide aluminum trailer, a pair of coolers and a gently used 18-speed bike, Bennett offers $6 deliveries to locations north to Iris Avenue, south to Table Mesa Drive and east to Foothills Parkway. A delivery to areas outside that perimeter but still in the city of Boulder is $9. He offers the service from 5 p.m. until the market closes on Wednesdays, and from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays.
Bennett said he's looking for ways to improve the service and raise its profile, including adding more storage space to the trailer and getting signs and business cards printed. As the only delivery service for the market, Bennett said he has reached out to vendors to highlight deliveries.

A little history
I have been a Radio Amateur since 1971. Other call sign G8RJQ. Being a Radio Ham is like a drug, once its in your blood you never get rid of it. USA made TEN-TEC Brilliant equipment
I started working for PLESSEY RADAR on the Isle of Wight south coast of England at the age of 15 (1967)wiring up radars and installing them on site, after a lot of studies I became an industrial engineer for PLESSEY. In 1990 I moved to PLESSEY South Africa where I am the Senior Production Engineer, I am also the MIL2000/IPC instructor on soldering and wiring of electronic equipment. I was trained by Technical Service International who is one of only 5 Kat A advisor to the pentagon USA (thx Mike).
Thats it, started work at 15 (1967) and now 64 (2016) its been and still is a great job in the electronic industry, lets hope I made a difference. I know some of the Radars I built are still up and running:- Falklands, South Africa, Chile, Ireland and Egypt all still working. God bless and thank you, I have had a great time and met so many really nice people _._. __._
MARCONI said:-
In 1919 there were efforts by the then 'Postmaster General' to restrict, limit and control the applications and issue of 'Experimenters Licenses'. In a well known journal of the time Marconi said:
'I consider that the existence of a body of independent and often enthusiastic amateurs, constitutes a valuable asset towards the further development of Wireless Telegraphy'.
He later wrote:
'In my opinion it would be a mistaken policy to introduce legislation to prevent amateurs experimenting with wireless telegraphy. Had it not been for amateurs, wireless telegraphy as a great world-fact might not have existed at all. A great deal of the development and progress of wireless telegraphy is due to the efforts of amateurs.'

Reformed Tradition
|Field of Study
|Case-Winters, Anna, Sawyer, Ken
|MTS room 101
|Start Date
|End Date
Course Description HT 402 Fall 2010:
This course is an overview of the Reformed Tradition, with special attention to the PC(USA) Book of Confessions as a document of the Church. This class will read and engage documents and topics from the broad Reformed traditions, and each student will develop and present a personal statement of faith. The class will include some online resources for theological reflection and use in congregational ministries. The class will include broad reading, as well as lectures, discussion, and small group interaction. Students will be evaluated on the level of preparation and engagement with fellow students, texts, and topics. This is a participatory class that asks all of us to read, reflect, and discuss topics in Reformed theology -- in its historical forms, and in some of its contemporary forms. We live in a world with many competing world views and theological traditions. In this class we ask a series of important questions (especially for those preparing for ordination): What is the Reformed tradition? How do you relate to the Reformed tradition, and how will your standing within this tradition form/inform your ministry? How do you make use of the resources of the Reformed tradition to inform and challenge and explain your deepest commitments and affirmations?
This course encourages participants to identify resources for contemporary theological reflection in the rich resources of the diverse and demanding Reformed tradition. While one goal is to identify and reinforce Reformed distinctives in historical and contemporary theology, another goal is to challenge parochial views that fail to recognize the breadth of the Reformed tradition. This class will pursue close readings of confessions and contemporary texts from the Reformed tradition, in pursuit of a growing and constructive engagement with the Reformed tradition. The approach of the course is integrative, engaging both the theology and the history of Reformed tradition. Our intent is to provide opportunities for theological reflection useful in the ongoing preparation for ministry, including the PCUSA ordination examinations.
A central component of this class is engagement with the documents of the PC(USA) Book of Confessions, with a goal to encourage you to develop informed discussion of topics by drawing upon the confessions and key secondary sources. You will be assessed on your ability to engage in a conversation with the confessions and the secondary sources of the course.
Expected Learning Outcomes:
Upon successful completion of this course, you should be able to:
- Identify and describe the theological and historical relationships among the Reformed tradition, the broader Reformation traditions, and the Church catholic;
- Name and explain distinctive values, ideas, and practices that characterize the Reformed tradition;
- Negotiate the relationships among a variety of authentic voices and perspectives within the Reformed tradition and, within this context, define concepts such as faithfulness, boundaries, innovation, dissent, and continuity;
- Articulate, in both discussion and written statements of faith, your own identity and voice within or in relation to the Reformed tradition;
- Demonstrate a broad and engaged knowledge of the PC(U.S.A.) Book of Confessions, including the social and historical contexts in which each confession emerged; and
- Practice critical and constructive theological reflection upon the resources of the Reformed tradition.
- Demonstrate an ability to assess and engage the course readings.
1. Active attendance at class sessions that exhibits a close reading of the assigned texts and a readiness to bring your reading and reflection into the continuing work of this class.
2. Creative and critical participation in class projects, small group work, and class discussion. This includes an empathic and constructive engagement with the texts and the other members of the class.
3. Timely completion of all assignments, exhibiting proper use of sources, and pursuing standards of academic excellence.
4. Constructive response to the comments and feedback to your work – especially in the written assignments relating to the Book of Confessions. Your writing should show some changes over the course of the semester, as you respond/incorporate comments and feedback responses to your work.
1. Class presence, preparation and participation, with special emphasis on informed discussion of the readings and constructive (generous, empathic, and critical) engagement with fellow students and teachers. You are expected to seek ways to appropriately participate in every part of every week of this class. This is a participatory class, not a class for spectators!
2. A critical book review (five pages double-spaced) due at the beginning of class on November 19 summarizing and assessing one of the books on the "optional readings" list. Since this is a text-rich class, we ask each person take one of the reserve books and prepare a critical assessment essay, to be posted to the web site. You may be called upon to make a brief presentation on your text for the class.
3. A personal statement of faith as an example of, or in engagement with, Reformed theology due November 12. In addition to preparing and presenting this statement in a small group setting, you will also read and constructively comment on the statements of other members of a small group. Copies of your statement should be provided to the small group and these may also be posted on the class website. Discussion of the statements will be November 19.
4. A weekly quiz given at the beginning of class (so be on time!) on topics and texts relating to the PC(USA) Book of Confessions. There will also be an in class test on the PCUSA Book of Confessions on November 5.
5. Two page (double spaced) assessment/essay on each of the Confessions in the PC(USA) Book of Confessions. Each essay is due the week that readings on that confession are listed. Come to class ready to discuss the content of the confessional documents. In each paper address three things: historical context and contemporary relevance to you in ministry (1/3), key theological issues/themes (2/3). You will need to summarize each of the confessions for your own purposes, but that important task is not the focus of these essays – instead you will be assessed on your theological engagement with the confession – recognizing the historical and theological "voice" of each confession, aware of the content and sometimes contentious insights of the particular confession. These essays will be a rich resource for all the members of the class, with some posted on the class website.
6. A written examination in response to these questions, based on materials in this class and your continuing engagement with these matters:
What is Reformed tradition? How is the Reformed tradition distinguished (from) among the broadly Reformation traditions? Which of its distinctive gifts are most needed today, and why? How are Scripture and the confessions part of your theological self-understanding and self-expression? How would others recognize you to be part of the Reformed tradition?
This will be an in class exam administered December 10 with a maximum writing time of three hours.

Australia's Telstra launching T-Touch Android tablet in November (is this the Huawei S7?)
If Telstra's commitment to Android wasn't obvious yet, here's an official confirmation that the carrier intends to launch its own Android-based tablet as soon as November (to compete with Optus' Dell Streak and the Samsung Galaxy Tab).
Called Telstra T-Touch Tab, the device is a mystery for now, although we can see a bit of it over at the Australian carrier's website.
AusDroid suggests Tesltra's tablet is a rebranded Huawei SmaKit S7 (pictured below), arguing that Telstra offers quite a few Huawei devices under its own brand. If that's the case, the T-Touch Tab should feature a 7 inch display with 480 x 800 pixels, and Android 2.1 or higher.
Telstra doesn't say how much the T-Touch Tab will cost. More on this as we get it.

To practice the symmetrical triangle example detailed in this article visit http://tradingsim.com.
Symmetrical Triangle Definition
A symmetrical triangle is the most common triangle chart pattern. It is comprised of price fluctuations where each swing high or swing low is smaller than its predecessor. This coiling price movement creates a structure of a symmetrical triangle. As a symmetrical triangle is forming, trading activity diminishes along the way until the apex of the triangle is reached.
Many technicians believe that if a stock is rallying prior to a symmetrical triangle, the stock will eventually breakout to the upside. Conversely if a stock is falling prior to a symmetrical triangle forming, the stock should continue lower. Both of these assumptions are wrong. Symmetrical triangles provide little, if any indication as to which direction the stock will ultimately breakout. Remember from the above definition, there is a lack of volume and price movement which creates a coiling pattern, therefore it is simply impossible to assess which way a symmetrical triangle will inevitably breakout.
Symmetrical Triangle Breakout
There are two key components to a symmetrical triangle breakout: price and volume. For a breakout to the upside, you want the stock to close decisively outside of the triangle formation with a pickup in volume. Breakouts to the downside also require a decisive price break of the formation, but the volume does not need to display a significant increase in activity. If you notice a pickup in volume on a breakdown, odds are it is a false signal and the stock will likely reverse to the upside.

Pretend play helps your child problem solve mathematical and social situations, practice using language, and construct an understanding of important concepts. (See part 1 of this blog.) Empty cardboard boxes provide countless opportunities for your child to engage in pretend play!
A preschool child may turn a box into:
- A car, boat, spaceship, dump truck or robot
- A cave, oven, mailbox, doghouse or lemonade stand
- A table, chair or bed for a doll, stuffed animal or pet
- A puppet theater
- A house, tower or castle
- A place to read, hide, store toys or art supplies
- A sensory box that holds sand, shredded paper or other tactile items to play with
- Something to wrap or deliver to other people
A collection of boxes may become:
- A bus or train
- A set of building blocks
- A pretend store
- A fun game of building up and knocking down
- A catalyst for questions about how the world works:
How are boxes made? What are they made of? Where can we get more boxes? How do people move boxes that are really heavy? How do people use boxes? What happens to boxes at a recycling center? What do the words say on the side of this box? How did the words get there? How many boxes do we have in our home? What else is shaped like this box?
When you flatten it out and add some drawings and/or toys, a box may become:
- A zoo, farm, race track, city, water park, airport, garden, pond for fishing, rooms in a house, treasure map – anything your child can imagine!
- The base for a fun game like hopscotch, a board game or bean bag toss
- A stage
When your child is "finished" with the box, you can re-purpose it by:
- Making a Mystery box. [video] Encourage your child to talk about
the shape, size and texture of the mystery items he touches in the box.
- Cutting slits in it so your child can insert "coins" or weave. [Examples]
- Making a musical instrument
- Taking it outside and inventing new ways to play! (e.g., an obstacle course)
- Cutting it into rectangles or other shapes to use as the base for art projects, sculptures, mobiles, a cover for a homemade book, a tent or a new prop for play (e.g., a tray, a pizza, a laptop, a hat, wings, snowshoes, a bridge)
After observing your child playing, creating, problem solving and learning with boxes, you may find yourself buying fewer commercial toys and seeking out more cardboard boxes!
Best places to get boxes:
Appliance stores
Building supply stores (e.g., Home Depot, Menards)
Furniture stores
Grocery Stores
Shoe stores

Carried a Mrs. Potato Head figure, dressed in a big sun hat and pink feather boa, around and took her picture at different places on the ship.

We were cruising together with 8 couples. The women are all in Red Hat Society, so we all wore our red hats to dinner one night. That got some attention, but the real fun was the next night, when our husbands all showed up to dinner with shower caps on. It was hilarious! The night before, the comedian had done a routine on different ways to wear shower caps and other ship amenities. So with their shower caps on, our men all sat in the front row for the show with their shower caps on. The comedian didn't notice at first, but when he did, he stopped mid-routine and busted up laughing. Then he had them stand up and take a bow.

In Cozumel a few years ago, a group of 6 of us from the ship went to the popular Carlos and Charlies. We all got balloon animal hats made, and wore them back to and all over the ship that night. It got quite a bit of attention! Everyone on the ship wanted to know where we got them, and they were disappointed because we had left port by then.

On whatever counts as formal night, my friends and I always get funny photos taken by the ship's photogs – dressed in all our finery, we are strangling each other, bunny ears behind the head, pointing the finger-gun, egyptian-ish poses – you name it. We crack up so much doing this, we get all kinds of stares and such. But everyone notices our pics when they are put up on the display !!!

For my husband's 50th birthday, one of our friends planning to cruise with us, had to cancel at the last minute. So un-beknownst to my husband, they sent with me, a hawaiian shirt that proclaimed, "I BEE 50!" that she had ironed on the front in bold letters & and a children's bumble bee pool ring(un-inflated). His birthday was on a "Day At Sea". As we were getting up and dressed, I told him our friend had sent along a gift, a nice hawaiian shirt, and I thought it a nice gesture for him to wear it "in her honor" that day. Of course he agreed to wear it. Then I pulled out the Bee floatie, inflated it, and told him it was also part of the gift, and he should carry it around for the day. He good- naturedly agreed, carrying it around the ship, all day long. That evening it was proudly included in ALL our photos, which required some explaination to most of the professional photographers. We bought the photos and put them in a special Memory Album, created from that trip. Thanks to Mary, HE (and we) got quite a few stares, lots of laughs, and many wonderful memories and stories to share when we returned home.

Minutewomen Rout Temple, 6-1
Oct. 25, 2002
AMHERST, Mass. - Junior Erin Lilly (Ballston Lake, N.Y.) scored four goals and freshman Adair Blyler (Lexington, Mass.) dished out four assists as the University of Massachusetts routed Temple, 6-1, in Atlantic 10 women's soccer action this afternoon at Rudd Field. Lilly tied the school single-game record for both goals and points, while Blyler equaled the top assist mark.
"I am very pleased to see our team not only come from behind, but to finally break out on the offensive end," said UMass Head Coach Jim Rudy. "I am especially happy for Lilly. She has had a lot of close calls all season and deserved them this afternoon."
Down 1-0 in the first half, Blyler sent Lilly in alone and she blasted a shot past the Temple keeper to tie the game at the 9:59 mark. It was her first goal of the season after several close calls. The two then connected on an almost identical play at the 31:01 mark giving the Minutewomen the lead for good.
In the second half, the flood gates opened as the Minutewomen scored four times in less than 18 minutes. Blyler assisted on Lilly's hat trick at the 63:31 mark to put the Minutewomen up 3-1. Less than five minutes later, Blyler scored her second goal of the season putting Massachusetts up 4-1. Freshman Lindsey Bellini (Webster, N.Y.), last week's A-10 Rookie of the Week, was credited with the assist.
At the 75:02 mark, Lilly scored her fourth of the game tying the record for most goals in a game set by Nancy Feldman against Cortland on October 11, 1980. Lilly's four points also tied a school record originally set by Feldman and then equaled by Carolyn Micheel versus Keene State on September 11, 1985. Blyler and senior co-captain Martha Conover (Liverpool, N.Y.) both picked up assists on the play. For Blyler, it was her fourth assist of the game, tying the record for most assists in a single-game. Micheel first accomplished the feat and it was done again a year later by Kristen Bowsher against Texas A&M on Sept. 13, 1986.
The final Massachusetts goal was the first career score off the foot of freshman Kelly Summerhayes (Sharon, Mass.). Conover dished out her second assist of the day on the sixth goal of the game. Junior Kelly Nigh (Seattle, Wash.) and freshman Kristen Rutland (Fayetteville, Ga.) combined to make nine saves in net for the Minutewomen, while Jackie Mauro and Jeanette Hibbs made a combined one save for the Owls.
Massachusetts continues its four-game homestand on Sunday, Oct. 27, as it hosts Saint Joseph's in a 1:00 p.m. game at Rudd Field.

In Young Adult literature, the science fiction & fantasy genre has become increasingly popular in the past decade. It all started when J. K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone reached the top of the New York Times Bestsellers list in 1999, staying close to the top of that list for most of 1999 and 2000.
Rowling went on to publish six more books in the series, the final one in July of 2007. The Harry Potter series tells the story of a young boy by the same name who one day learns that he is a wizard who has been marked as the arch-rival of a powerful evil wizard named Lord Voldemort.
In recent years, it seems that teens' taste in fantasy fiction has switched gears, becoming darker and edgier than their taste for Harry Potter's battle against evil, their fascination moving toward literature that is more sexually-charged and bloodthirsty, literature that celebrates the universal human desire to stay young and beautiful forever, namely vampire fiction.
Lately vampires have become a popular part of Young Adult fiction; some people have gone so far as to refer to the new vampire craze as a "phenomenon." If you too have bought into the vampire phenomenon, you might want to sink your teeth into these novels:
1. Twilight by Stephenie Meyer – Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few years, you have probably heard of the popular book series (and now popular movie series) known as the Twilight saga. The modern day Romeo and Juliet-esqe vampire love story chronicles seventeen-year-old Bella Swan's relationship with her gorgeous vampire boyfriend, Edward Cullen.
2. Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead – Putting a different spin on the typical vampire novel, the Vampire Academy series is told from the point-of-view of Rose Hathaway, a half-vampire, half-human girl (known as a "dhampir"). The books chronicle her life and adventures at St. Vladimir's Academy, where she is training to become her best friend (who happens to be a vampire) Lissa Dragomir's body guard, while simultaneously falling for her handsome instructor, Dimitri Belikov.
3. Marked by P. C. Cast & Kristin Cast – Told from the point-of-view of Zoey Redbird, a teenage fledgling vampyre, the House of Night series talks about how Zoey juggles boys, her friends, her social life, and dealing with the forces of evil at the House of Night, a special school for vampyres located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
4. Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris – While not exactly considered a YA book series, the Southern Vampire Mysteries are definitely popular with both teen and adult readers, having inspired the widely-popular HBO TV series, True Blood. Narrated by Sookie Stackhouse, a telepathic waitress, the novels are about Sookie's life in Bon Temps, Louisiana and how her life completely turns upside down when she falls for her vampire neighbor, Bill Compton.
5. The Vampire Diaries: The Awakening by L. J. Smith – This popular book series inspired the popular TV drama, The Vampire Diaries. It chronicles the life of Elena Gilbert, a pretty and popular high school student who becomes the object of affection of two vampire brothers, Stefan and Damon Salvatore. Elena begins to date and fall in love with Stefan, but she cannot deny the attraction she feels for his evil brother, Damon.

Since January, when residents of the nation's 20th-largest city stopped separating paper from bottles, jars, and cans, recycling tonnage is up almost 20%.
Through June, the city recycled 6,901 tons versus 5,792 tons in the first six months of 2007. The public works department used to collect recyclables on two different days, but now residents throw everything—narrow-neck and screw-top plastic bottles (with symbols 1 through 7 on them), glass bottles and jars, aluminum, tin and steel food and beverage containers, mixed paper, and cardboard—into one bin that's emptied in a single collection.
Part of the program's success was the department's outreach effort. Recycling by other city agencies has increased from 30 locations to 115; special business collection locations are up from 37 to 106; public school locations have gone from 40 to 103; and private schools are up from 19 to 27.

Clauss, M; Burger, B; Liesegang, A; Del Chicca, F; Kaufmann-Bart, M; Riond, B; Hässig, M; Hatt, J M (2012). Influence of diet on calcium metabolism, tissue calcification and urinary sludge in rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus). Journal of Animal Physiology and Animal Nutrition, 96(5):798-807.

Rabbits absorb more calcium (Ca) from their diet than they require, and excrete surplus via urine, which therefore contains a typical 'sludge'. This makes rabbits susceptible to Ca-containing uroliths. But given the Ca content of diets of free-ranging specimens, and the limited reports of urinary sludge and Ca contents in free-ranging lagomorphs, we can suspect that rabbits are naturally adapted to high urinary Ca loads. We fed four groups of New Zealand hybrid rabbits [n = 28, age at start 5–6 weeks) pelleted diets consisting of lucerne hay only (L, Ca 2.32% dry matter (DM)], lucerne:oats 1:1 (LG, Ca 1.36%), grass hay only (G, Ca 1.04%), or grass:oats 1:1 (GG, 0.83%) for 25 weeks, with water available ad libitum. Diets were not supplemented with Ca, phosphorus, or vitamin D. Rabbits on diets LG and GG had lower food and water intakes, lower faeces and urine output, grew faster and had higher body mass at slaughter (mainly attributable to adipose tissue). Apparent Ca digestibility decreased in the order L–LG–G/GG. Rabbits on L had larger and heavier kidneys, more urinary sediment at sonography, and a higher urinary Ca content than the other groups. No animal showed signs of urolithiasis/calcinosis at X-ray, sonography, or gross pathology. Kidney/aorta histology only sporadically indicated Ca deposits, with no systematic difference between groups. Under the conditions of the experiment, dietary Ca loads in legume hay do not appear problematic for rabbits, and other factors, such as water supply and level of activity may be important contributors to urolithiasis development in veterinary patients. However, due to the lower Ca content of grass hay, the significantly lower degree of urinary sludge formation, and the significantly higher water intake related with grass hay feeding, grass hay-dominated diets are to be recommended for rabbits in which urolithiasis prevention is an issue.

Gordon Paige, retired author, now lives alone, seven years after the death of his wife, Brenda. She was his life, and now all he has to fill the long days are the trials of his children and 'The Ostrich Race', a competition that's been running in Brenda's family for well over a hundred years.
But this year the Race is going to be different in more ways than one. This year, along with the regular players, there's another, anonymous participant, who seems to know an awful lot about the workings of the Race.
Intrigued by this new entrant, Gordon sets out to track down their identity by bringing the original Race entry envelopes, long since dispersed amongst the Race's previous players, back together.
Little does Gordon realise that during the next twelve months his life is going to be turned upside down, as he uncovers secret after secret about the past he thought he knew so well, until, at last, the shocking truth behind the anonymous player is revealed.

LOS ANGELES - 11th-ranked UCLA dropped its first contest this year when leading after the sixth inning, as #9 Washington rallied to tie the game in the seventh, going on to win it in the ninth by a score of 4-3 on Saturday at Easton Stadium. Senior GiOnna DiSalvatore and freshman Alyssa Tiumalu each hit home runs for the Bruins.
UCLA falls to 31-10 overall and 7-5 in Pac-10 play, while Washington improves to 31-8 and 6-6 in league action.
Junior Andrea Harrison had a pair of hits for the Bruins, who had seven as a team. Senior Donna Kerr (12-4) pitched seven innings of relief, striking out five and allowing four runs (three earned), six hits and three walks. Freshman Jessica Hall started and tossed two-plus frames of shutout ball, fanning two and giving up three hits and a walk.
The Huskies had the first scoring chance of the game in the second but were turned away. Morgan Stuart reached on a one-out walk, Kaitlin Inglesby singled, and one out later, Maggie Wagner reached on a bunt single to load the bases. But Hall struck out Victoria Hayward to end the threat.
After leaving a pair on base in both the first and second innings, the Bruins broke through in the third on one swing of the bat. With one down, DiSalvatore belted a 1-0 pitch over the wall in right field for her fourth homer of the season to make it 1-0 UCLA.
Washington got on the board in the top of the fourth. Stuart was hit by a pitch to lead off the inning, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on a double down the left-field line by Inglesby to even the score at one.
In the bottom of the sixth, the Bruins re-took the lead, as Tiumalu launched the first pitch of the inning off the scoreboard in left to put UCLA up 2-1. It was Tiumalu's eighth homer of the season.
The Huskies rallied though with two outs in the seventh. Kimi Pohlman reached on an error by DiSalvatore at third and came all the way around to score on a double to right-center by Jenn Salling to knot the score at two.
Washington took its first lead of the weekend in the top of the eighth when Inglesby hit a home run to straightaway center to give the visitors a 3-2 edge.
In the bottom of the eighth, the Bruins had a single and received three walks to tie the game. Junior Dani Yudin lined a leadoff single to center and was pinch-run for by sophomore Devon Lindvall, who moved to second on a walk to Tiumalu, who was pinch-run for by junior Marti Reed. Both Lindvall and Reed then moved up a base on a wild pitch to put runners at third and second with nobody out. Inglesby would retire junior Samantha Camuso on a groundout and struck out senior Amy Crawford, but sophomore B.B. Bates drew a walk to load the bases. Inglesby then issued a free pass to junior Katie Schroeder, which forced in Lindvall to tie the score at three. Inglesby would end the inning by inducing freshman Kellie Fox into a groundout to short.
The Huskies took the lead back on another homer in the ninth, as Salling sent one out to right to give the visitors a 4-3 advantage.
The Bruins got a one-out single by Harrison in the bottom of the ninth, but Inglesby retired Yudin on a double play to end the game.
The Bruins are on the road next weekend, traveling to Berkeley to face California in a three-game series. Friday's game begins at 3 p.m., followed by a 1 p.m. start on Saturday and a 12 p.m. first pitch on Sunday. Gametracker and free live audio will be available at UCLABruins.com.

Olive Oil:
The market is typically tumultuous and this year is no different. The market is now at a low point for the crop year (December – November).
This year, things are pointing to a good crop, but the right amount of rain, no hail, and good sun are still needed during the growing season. An early indication of the crop season is to see the conditions of the Spanish crop when the olive trees bloom in April.
Production from other sources such as Tunisia, Turkey, Greece, Morocco, and South America will provide our year's total supply. Spain, however, is the dominant source of olive oil while Italy is the dominant country for bottled olive oil.

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) - Chris Perry's 3-yard touchdown run in overtime gave No. 13 Michigan a 27-24 win over No. 15 Penn State on Saturday.
The Wolverines (5-1, 2-0 Big Ten) won their sixth straight over the Nittany Lions (4-2, 1-2), who hadn't lost that many games in a row to any team in more than 70 years.
Michigan won the toss before the first overtime ever at Michigan Stadium, and the Wolverines chose to let Penn State have the ball first.
Nittany Lions kicker Robbie Gould - who missed an extra point and a field goal in regulation - missed a 23-yard field goal in overtime. But Michigan was called for offsides, and Gould took advantage of the opportunity with a 20-yard kick to put Penn State ahead 24-21.
On Michigan's possession, Perry gained 3 yards on a third-and-1 from Penn State's 15. On his touchdown, Perry plunged in, and his team and the crowd celebrated.
John Navarre was 27-of-41 for 244 yards with no interceptions and two TD passes to Braylon Edwards.
Zack Mills was 19-of-31 for 264 yards with two TDs and no interceptions. Bryant Johnson caught seven passes for 138 yards and a TD. Larry Johnson ran for 78 yards and a TD.
Before Michigan's current six-game winning streak, the Nittany Lions had not lost six straight in a series since Pittsburgh beat them 10 times in a row from 1922-31.
Penn State went ahead 13-7 with 2:40 left in the third quarter on Mills' 9-yard pass to Mike Lukac, his first career TD catch. Gould missed the extra point. On Penn State's previous possession, he missed a 47-yard field goal.
Michigan took advantage of a break on the ensuing possession.
The Wolverines were forced to punt from their 10 after three incomplete passes, but the drive was kept alive when James Milton was flagged for roughing the kicker.
Eight plays later, Navarre lobbed a 5-yard TD pass to Edwards. The extra point put Michigan ahead 14-13 early in the fourth quarter.
Penn State responded with an 80-yard go-ahead drive capped by Mills' 19-yard pass to Bryant Johnson. A two-point pass from Mills to Bryant Johnson put the Nittany Lions ahead 21-14 with 7:49 to go.
Michigan came right back to tie the game with 4:22 left.
On a third-and-goal from the 3, Navarre looked right and when he didn't see anybody open, he connected with Edwards for a second TD across the middle.
The officials made two questionable calls - benefiting both teams - on Penn State's final drive in regulation.
On a third-and-12 from Penn State's 18, Bryant Johnson was credited with a 28-yard reception, even though replays appear to show that didn't have possession. The call was balanced out three plays later on a third-and-5 from Michigan's 49 when Tony Johnson appeared to make a reception in bounds, but the pass was ruled incomplete.
The wild finish came after a low-scoring first half.
Bryant Johnson returned a punt 25 yards to Penn State's 17 to set up the first score. Larry Johnson ran 17 yards through a huge hole - on his first play of the game - with 5:21 to go in the first quarter for his seventh rushing TD of the season.
Michigan chose to go for a fake instead of a 31-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but Penn State wasn't fooled.
Navarre's 1-yard sneak on Michigan's tied the game at 7 with 2:52 left in the half.

All things Mother Earth Living
by Robyn Griggs Lawrence, Editor at Large
Last week, while I was in Atlanta for Greenbuild, I was thrilled to have the opportunity to sit down with the editor and publisher of one of my very favorite magazines, Paste. Over foamy Belgian beers at their local pub in Decatur, our talk turned to pub fare: religion and politics. The conversation wound back to the fact that these guys—trendmakers on the cutting edge of pop culture—were Christians…practicing, church-attending Christians.
We're all too aware these days of how we pigeonhole each other in our divided red-blue culture. We left-of-center, earth-worshiping types claim the environment as "our" issue and refuse to make room for Christians and other "suspects." This has been no small issue for the Paste guys, who face this prejudice all the time. Hip Christians? Green Christians? It flies in the face of all the assumptions we're so attached to.
Later that night, over dinner, one of our advisory board members told us that Green Faith, a large coalition of people of diverse spiritual backgrounds and religious traditions, had gathered at the Greenbuild conference to create alliances. (In fact, a whole pack of nuns had been spotted walking the showroom floor.) Back home in Boulder, I opened last Saturday's newspaper and found an article in the "Faith" section titled 'Where Heaven and Earth Collide: Boulder Christian community part of 'creation care' movement.' According to this article, 70 Christians recently gathered at a recent conference in Denver to talk about earth stewardship, and the National Association of Evangelicals is preparing to release a statement on climate change.
This is great news. And lately, I'm seeing this kind of support from "unusual suspects"—major corporations and the mainstream media—everywhere I turn. Consider:
--Late last month Wal-Mart ceo Lee Scott gave a headline-grabbing speech about the mega-retailer's environmental commitment, including a host of initiatives such as selling organic cotton clothing, encouraging suppliers to use cornstarch containers and new "green" stores in Texas and Colorado. Wal-Mart's initiatives have caused a good deal of debate, giving rise to both cynicism and optimism in green circles. For his part, longtime environmentalist Paul Hawken admonished everyone in the audience at his Greenbuild keynote address to write to Scott applauding these moves.
--Today the New York Times reported that mega-investment banking firm Goldman Sachs Group will encourage activities that protect forests and guard against climate change among its 24,000 employees and substantial client list, and will invest $1 billion in renewable energy projects. Through its Center for Environmental Markets, Goldman will study how the free-market system can solve environmental problems.
--Sunday night TBS aired 'Earth to America!,' a two-hour comedy extravaganza produced by Larry David, the co-creator of "Seinfeld." Perhaps even more startling, though, was Fox News's airing of 'The Heat Is On: The Case of Global Warming' the week before. When questioned by the Los Angeles Times about airing the documentary on the right-of-center network, producer Laurie David (Larry's wife) pointed out, "This cannot be the domain of any one political party. … Fox News is a big part of the media coverage in this country. People watch it, and you want to get a message out, you want Fox News to be talking about it."
Even New York City taxi drivers have joined the fold, adding to the fleet six new Ford Escapes—which get more than 36 mpg and run entirely on electrical power when operating under 25 mph (which is just about all the time in NYC traffic). "It's a no-brainer," Evgeny Frideman, who owns 650 cabs, was quotes as saying in The Week. "I didn't start out green, but I'm green now."
For those of us who've been preaching this gospel for years, all this newfound respect for our "cause" can be somewhat overwhelming, even perplexing. As I keep saying in this blog, our time has definitely come, and we should all welcome support—from wherever—with open arms and open minds. And as we delve into our organic, free-range turkey on Thursday, let's give thanks and say a little prayer that it continues.

2012 - Boulder Racing #4 Valmont
Boulder Racing did it again and pulled off a quality show at Valmont Park in Boulder. A creative course that rolled quite differently than courses previously held at Valmont. This course utilized more of the Glades section of the Park and was fast and exhausting. It was not a course for the skilled and not powerful racer. My only negative (and this really applies to most courses) is to please rake the gravel pit between heats otherwise my mid day there really isn't a gravel pit. What are your thoughts on the course?

Thoughts on the course?
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Just curious what other people thought of the course.
Going "backwards" on the course gave a whole new feel to Valmont and I generally enjoyed it. I wasn't at all a fan of the start or finish locations, it just didn't seem like there was much room and felt cramped.
With this being my 3rd race at VBP this year, I was a bit tired of it and would have preferred a different venue. VBP twice a year is enough for me.
Kudos to the BoulderRacing crew & volunteers, they always put on a good & well run race!
Since you asked...
Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on
Haven't ridden VBP, but from the videos I've seen, it looks like narrow, hard-packed single track. For most of the course it looks like they could move the stakes over 5-6 feet and do away with the hard pack.
I agree

Doing Valmont "backwards" at least parts of it, anyway - made for a really nice, really welcome change.
Great work, "Without Limits." Was a fun race.

Submitted by Brian M (not verified) on
This was only my 2d time racing at Valmont, so I don't have as much basis to compare, but overall I did like this layout. It was nice to move the climb off the road, and I thought the start was fine. I agree the finish was too cramped and could have been a hazard for any groups coming to the line together. Overall, though, a good balance of technical and power, hills and flats.
Congrats BR/WOL - 500+ racers in November

WOL, fantastic job on Saturday! I very much appreciate your timing and registration system that obviously allows for accurate start lists even when people dont have the option in their schedule to pre-reg. Also worth huge applause is my first experience using your device that prints out your results within about 10min of finishing. Fantastic!
The bar has been raised and the example set of what can be achieved...Hint, Hint BRAC. Oh, not to mention the course was a nice variation from the usual VBP. First class experience all the way around!

U.S. Court Serves as Winning Jurisdiction for Ukrainians
The Ukrainian government scored a victory in the U.S. court system last week when a federal judge ordered an Oregon company to pay $60 million to a Ukrainian government entity in a civil-racketeering lawsuit.
U.S. District Court Judge Ann L. Aiken entered a default judgment late Friday against Oregon-based Olden Group, ordering it to pay triple the amount sought by a Ukrainian government entity that alleged it was overcharged for vaccines by Olden and a Ukrainian company. This WSJ story lays out the case.
The lawsuit, filed last year, stems from an investigation ordered by Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych's internal government watchdog unit into medical purchases during the prior administration, according to the complaint. The probe, assisted by U.S. investigative firm Kroll and others, led to the Oregon suit brought by Ukrainian medical-procurement agency Ukrvaktsina.
Foreign governments are loathe to file claims in U.S. courts because of the system's far-reaching discovery process, legal experts said, and also because they could lose their immunity to counter suits.
"The understanding in most of the world is that anything goes in U.S. courts," said Donald Trey Childress, a law professor at Pepperdine University. But he said rulings from U.S. courts are sometimes more easy to enforce abroad and also offer plaintiffs a high-profile platform to air their grievances.
The Oregon lawsuit alleged that Olden entered into sham contracts with the Ukrainian firm, Interfarm, to submit phony customs declarations that misrepresented the prices paid for vaccines. The money Interfarm obtained from overcharging the Ukrainians was laundered using U.S. and Latvian bank accounts, the lawsuit alleged. Interfarm couldn't be reached.
The judge entered a default judgment after Olden failed to answer the complaint. Bardia Fard, an attorney for Olden, called the judgment a "big technicality" not based on the facts of the case, and said the suit was politically motivated. It is unclear how Olden will proceed, said Mr. Fard, of the Acumen Law Group in Chicago.
Mark MacDougall, a partner at Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld who represents Ukrvaktsina, said, "Our client's aim is to vigorously enforce this U.S. District Court judgment and to use every legal tool to identify where the Ukrainian government's money went—and get it back."
There's more to the story than just alleged overcharges for vaccines. The Kroll probe revealed a web of companies allegedly tied to fraudulent schemes in Eastern Europe and Afghanistan. According to Oregon state records, the defendant in the Oregon case, Olden, is owned by two companies, Worldwide Management Corp., an entity that lists its address as a post office box in Belize, and International United Holding AG, based in Niue, a tiny island in the South Pacific that regulators world-wide have criticized as being used as a tax and money-laundering haven. The two firms are shareholders of numerous companies incorporated by Oregon resident Charles Mathias and Delaware resident W. Rick Fletcher, according to records from the secretary of state's office in Oregon.
Mathias declined to comment on the Olden judgment or the other allegations. He said he registered his numerous firms "on behalf of several Eastern European organizations." Fletcher couldn't be reached.
In 2005, the state of Oregon ordered Fletcher to stop incorporating companies that have financial titles in their name after he registered a number of such firms, including Middle East Bank Corp., according to state records. Oregon law prohibits the use of financial titles in the names of companies that aren't engaged in such businesses. Mathias, the registered agent for Olden, has registered about 2,764 companies in Oregon, according to state records.

"American Idol" 2014 continued March 6 on FOX with the top 12 results show, which saw the second consecutive all-girl bottom three and the axing of yet another aspiring singer.
Ryan Seacrest opened the hour-long broadcast by welcoming the top 12 as well as "Idol" judges Jennifer Lopez, Harry Connick, Jr., and Keith Urban. He then introduced a review of the March 5 "home" themed performance show, which featured the contestants' thoughts on the judges' brutally honest comments.
Although resident mentor Randy Jackson admitted the hopefuls' performances weren't top notch, he criticized Harry for being too harsh. Harry defended himself, noting that he'd be goofing off if he were a mentor, but as a judge, he needs to give helpful feedback as expediently as possible. Still, despite his difficult criticisms, he still called the top 12 "the best group of talent since the first season" and encouraged them to figure out what makes them "great and unique." He even used a surprise a message from Saints quarterback Drew Brees to drive his point him, noting that the Saints' coach won't praise Brees for being handsome after he throws an incomplete pass.
With the judging brouhaha in the rear view, the results action commenced as Ryan called Emily Piriz, Sam Woolf, Jessica Meuse, and Ben Briley forward to hear their respective fates. With virtually zero ado, Emily was the first act of the night relegated to the bottom three, while the other three were proclaimed safe to sing again.
The show continued with Keith reminiscing about his make-believe childhood band, Rock Fever, and the time he painted the band's name on his family's garage, and then "American Idol" winner Phillip Phillips returned to the show's stage to debut his new single "Raging Fire."
After a break, Harry waxed poetic on the virtues of growing up in music-rich New Orleans before Ryan called Dexter Roberts, Jena Irene Asciutto, Alex Preston, and Majesty York forward for more results action. Dexter, Majesty, and Alex were declared safe, while Jena joined Emily on the stools as the second member of the week's bottom three.
The show continued with a guest performance by Randy's pick of the week, the Irish band Kodaline, singing "All I Want." Then the hometown memories continued as Jennifer talked about growing up in New York and her love of "Saturday in the Park."
Finally, the last four members of the top 12, Malaya Watson, MK Nobilette, C.J. Harris, and Caleb Johnson, learned their fates as Ryan called them to center stage. MK once again found herself in the bottom three, while Caleb, C.J. and Malaya advanced to the top 11.
Ultimately, Jena was sent to safety, and MK looked stunned as Emily learned that she'd received the fewest votes and would need to sing for her life. The Fla. native delivered a shaky rendition of Grace Potter and the Nocturnals' "Stars."
After mulling the decision, Harry delivered the bad news that they'd decided not to use the save. Emily called the experience "incredible" and "amazing" and said she "honestly couldn't ask for anything more."
"American Idol" 2014 resumes March 12 on FOX with the top 11 performance show.

This tasted good but I couldn't identify a Chestnut taste. It just tasted like a generic 'nut' coffee. Similar to my pecan or hazelnut flavor. I tried using alot to increase the flavor but still didn't get a real chestnut flavor.

sudo for custom aliases as follows:
alias sudo='sudo ' # note: the space is required!
The reason this works is the following:
If the last character of the alias value is a space or tab character, then the next command word following the alias is also checked for alias expansion.

In the space of two weeks, two of the three Alabamans on "American Idol" who entered the Top 7 have been eliminated. And on the Top 6 results show Thursday night, not only was a second Alabaman sent home, the third was in the bottom.
Still, according to Lyndsey Parker's recap of the Top 6 results show at Yahoo TV April 24, the elimination was the "correct and expected decision by America." She also noted that what was not right about the results was Jessica Meuse even being in the bottom two. (And Parker is absolutely correct.)
But how did it get like this? Blame it on America -- for the low votes. Blame it on the judges -- for saving Sam Woolf from elimination on the first Top 8 show. Blame it on the finalists themselves for not stepping up with better song selections and performances to combat the inevitable sympathy vote that eliminated-and-saved finalists always receive. (Remember: In Season 11, Jessica Sanchez was eliminated and saved in the eighth position, then went on to be the season's runner-up.)
Regardless, two Alabamans made the bottom two on the Top 6 results show. And this is how it played out:
Host Ryan Seacrest called Sam Woolf, Caleb Johnson, and C. J. Harris to the stage. The first to make the Top 5: Sam Woolf. It was a bit of a surprise, given his propensity for finding the bottom and the fact he has been eliminated once before. And then there are all those wooden performances. But, hey, America voted and...
Caleb Johnson saw his face on the big screen at the back of the "Idol" stage next. So C. J. Harris took a seat on one of the Silver Stools of Uncertainty.
The other three finalists -- Jena Irene, Alex Preston, and Jessic Meuse -- then hit the stage. Jena Irene was soon joining her fellow Top 5 colleagues. Then Alex Preston's image appeared on the big screen, leaving Jessica Meuse to join C. J. on the stools.
When asked if America had chosen the right two for the bottom, Judge Harry Connick Jr. said that there was no real "right" two at this stage of the competition. It was simply a matter of who got the least number of votes and got voted off.
But in some cases, there is an unfairness that surfaces. After Jessica Meuse's two riveting performances on Wednesday night's performance show, there was no reason for her to be in the bottom. Sam Woolf and his nonexistent stage presence and his barely not monotone vocals (even though his Top 6 performances were an improvement over prior weeks) deserved to be there. And one could make the case that Alex Preston's poorly performed "Animal" (Neon Trees) should have put him in the bottom (given that neither of Jessica's tunes were anywhere near poorly performed).
Yet, there she was. In the bottom two. For a second consecutive week.
After the break, Ryan announced that the finalist leaving "American Idol" was... C. J. Harris.
After watching the obligatory "journey" video clip, C. J. performed the song that may have been his best performance on the show: Marshal Tucker Band's "Can't You See."
Judge Jennifer Lopez was tearing up even before the first note of the song sounded. Halfway through the performance, the remaining finalists filed up on stage, high-fiving and hugging their departing friend and competitor. He didn't complete the song, opting for a group hug at center stage while Rick Minor and the band played on. Family members soon joined the group on stage and C. J.'s mother told Ryan how proud she was of her son.
There weren't many dry eyes to be found.
"American Idol" returns next week with the Top 5 finalists singing "America's Requests," two songs chosen for them by voters.
"American Idol" airs on Fox Television on Wednesday nights at 8 p.m. and Thursday nights at 9 p.m. (EST).

Pancreatic Divisum Diet Suggestions??!
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I was just diagnosed with Pancreatic Divisum. I'm a 44 year old female and after two bouts of pancreatitis, I now feel I'm in a world of unknowns of what to eat to keep this from happening again. For how "common" this condition supposively is, I am finding it difficult locating any suggestions on what to eat. Sure, low-fat, low-protein, alcohol in moderation..but what does that mean? I have found a GI doctor but can't get an appt for 4 weeks (was just released from the hospital this past Sunday). Does anyone have any recommendations on this? Is alcohol totally out of the question? My pancreatitis hit so suddenly that I am a bit fearful now of what has triggered this after 44 years of being just fine. Any help would be greatly appreaciated. THANK YOU!

Thank you, David. I appreciate you taking the time to reply to me. i had no idea that a glass of wine or an occasional beer could be so harmful. I have been drinking my whole adult life (in moderation) and this is all just so new to me. Wow ~

I am 45 years old and last year I too found out I have Pancreatic Divisum. I had some symptoms like poor digestion and bloating. Then I would get this pushing feeling in my back. I never had a full blown attack. I have had two procedures to cut and stent the duct both only lasted 3 months and made things worse. I only discovered I had chronic when I had an ERCP. I am a mild case.
What you stated is true low fat, low protein, no alcohol. No one has given me a real answer about my future, it is a progressive disease but I have been about the same for 1.5 year now. Some days are better then others. There is no medicine that can make it better except enzymes which are not even a medicine. They help with digestion so your pancreas does not have to work as hard. They sell them in the health food store or you could get a prescription for them I take Creon it is a prescription. Pain medication helps with pain but does not help the condition. So really the future is unknown just do your best to not make it worse.

Alcohol is totally out of the question!!!!! There are not many things on the internet regarding a pancreatitis diet. It is pretty much trial and error. My husband's dr stated to cut out all red meats, fried foods, and high fat foods. So we have gone to strickly eating chicken, turkey, and pork. He quit all soda's because they cause him to have pain, he had to stop eating peanut butter because it causes him to have pain. The one thing I have learned is to keep my pantry full of broth. His dr prescribed him Creon 6 which is an enzymene, and I honsetly believe those little pills are what have kept us out of the hospital for the past 4 months. Before he got those we were in the hospital once a month for no less than 3 days. I found a website, it is the National Pancreas Foundation, they have receipes on there other stories, doctors, its a great website, maybe check that out.

Our Two Cents
The material used in this back protector is unique to me. It feels like a cross between foam and rubber and has the consistency of very firm silly putty. You can bend it and put dents in it, but only slowly, and then it will return to its normal shape. And the material, like silly putty, has no real structural strength. If you hold it parallel to the floor from each end, slowly but surely it will bend into a U shape, and then if you lay it flat on the table, it returns to its original shape. If you don't like it as a back protector, it is kind of fun to play with :) :: Paul, 03-26-14
