Share your experiences with the 3rd Annual "PIG RUN of Lake Nona" below Back to event details page.
This is a fun run for a worthy cause, so anyone who is running this for time or an award, be warned that this isn't the race for you.
That being said, this race is awesome because of the Pig Pen (where you eat fresh Dunkin' Donuts), the after race events and the people running it.
Registration was easy and they have a Facebook page you can follow. Emails are sent out regularly and there's no hidden surprises.
This year they had early race packet pickup, which was great. Suggestion: Have it also during the day, not just after work, so that there's an extra option (my husband could have swung by during the day.....5-7 traffic is a nightmare and I would have rather avoided it).
There are no bibs, just wrist bands, and it was a bit confusing as I couldn't tell what my color meant (I had signed up for 3 donuts, but didn't remember). Suggestion: Either have the wrist bands coded with the words "Piglet", "Hog" etc, OR, have the colored wrist bands obvious on the signs (so, "Piglet" is also YELLOW, since that was the color band we wore). I'd also like to see huge poster signs stating what each color means. As we lined up and I saw the different colors, I was left wondering who signed up for what number of donuts.
I am never in contention for winning an award for speed (there are nice trophies given to top runners for each donut eating division) and since this is all supposed to be in good fun and for a worthy cause, I am still curious as to how they know who really ate the donuts and who dumped some, just to win a trophy. In the whole scheme of things, I know it doesn't matter and I am sure karma will catch up with those people who try to cheat the system, but I think I'd like to see the serious eaters/contenders have some sort of accountability other than just their honesty....not to mention, I saw some people during the race actually cut through a side street and not run the whole thing....it doesn't really matter, but as someone who is a "rule" follower, I'd like to see this taken care of somehow Maybe those who are first, are watched and their bands actually marked when they eat the required number.
The actual 3.1 route is pretty boring. Ok, very boring. There's nothing to see at all. Houses and streets. Since it's at Lake Nona and the YMCA, there's probably nothing to be done about it being so boring, but maybe as this grows larger, they could put in entertainment, more water stops, etc. Also, the mile markers were wrong. Mile 1 was at .8 and Mile 2 was at 2.3 This was according to my Garmin GPS which is very accurate. The actual race was 3.1, but it's nice to have the mile markers correct as you run and for those without GPS. Also I needed water at 1.5 at least, not just at the Pig Pen. In fact, I really could have used water before the race and at mile 1. Maybe it was there before and I just missed it.
Speaking of Pig Pen, I thought for sure it was at the 1.5 mile mark, but it was almost on top of the 2 mile mark. This was mentally challenging as I kept expecting it at 1.5 and then not knowing where it really was.....
Ok, this seems to have a lot of negatives, and it's not meant to be that way. The t-shirts were great , the staff are amazing and the volunteers were all wicked nice (roller blade girls were neat). Anytime I had a question, I could email or post it to FB and be answered very quickly. The Pig Pen really was nicely organized and so was the end of the race.
If you don't mind a boring scenic run, and enjoy something different, this is a race to do. I will sign up again next year because I love the overall ambiance and the uniqueness of the race. I hope they raised a lot of money for Hailey :)!!!
This was an awesome race. They kept us well informed leading up to the race, it was well organized, lots of vendors and of course the donuts! Looking forward to next year.
Laura and Jeff's review was spot on. I had a great time at the event and agree that it was run pretty well. It's definitely not a run for time or an award, but it was fun all the same. The mile markers were wrong as I was running with my GPS. All in all, it was a fun event and I look forward to doing it again next year.
I've done a lot of 5Ks and I don't think I've had as much fun as this one! Can't think of a single thing I'd change. We will definitely be back next year.
What's not to love about this race? Great cause, great people, doughnuts, and exercise all wrapped into one. Did this race last year and had so much fun that my whole family got involved this year. If you are a seasoned runner or looking for your first 5k this race appeals to the masses. I'm already looking forward to next year.
This was my first 5K and I had a GREAT time! I loved that each mile was marked so that we knew how far we had gone (and how much farther we had to run), and the Pig Pen idea was genius! I also thought it was neat to run through the neighborhood, as some people brought their morning coffee out on the porch to cheer us on. I can't say that I have a single complaint about the event, and I will definitely sign up again next year!!
I have ran many races in the past but this has been by far the most enjoyable run I have ever had.
I decided to enter this event as part of a family holiday to Orlando and it certainly added a new dimension to the schedule, getting to spend time with a bunch of great people.
Yes I would have liked official times and place results but it was clear when entering that this was not a race but a fun run.
I thought the organisation was excellent, the pre-race information superb and everything from the donuts to the smiling marshalls, locals and police officers lining the route made for a great event.
Credit to the team who put this event together and hopefully I can join you again in the future.

New Version of PiTiVi – 0.11.2
October 30, 2008 Leave a comment
The news is a couple of weeks old now, but I thought PiTiVi was dead and wasn't bothered visiting their website for updates anymore. The link to their Forum still goes to a default Apache page.
Anyway, GStreamer and Python based video editor, PiTiVi, released version 0.11.2 on October 15th, after almost a year of project silence. It's good to know progress is still being made.
The 0.11.2 release is not yet meant to be production ready, but does include a number of updates and bug fixes. Full details as always on the Release Notes page.
There also seems to be a reasonable amount of activity on the PiTiVi Wiki and mailing list. Not only that, various blog posts on the Gstreamer Planet feed indicate that Collabora Multimedia have hired a part-time programmer to work specifically in PiTiVi, and are looking for another head as well. The target is a April 2009 for a "usable release".

Federer stunned by del Potro in US Open final (Forbes)
Normally so cool, so consistent, so in control of his emotions and his matches, Roger Federer let the U.S. Open championship slip from his grasp.
Two points from victory against inexperienced, unheralded Juan Martin del Potro of Argentina, two points from a sixth consecutive title at Flushing Meadows and a record-extending 16th Grand Slam overall, Federer, quite simply, fell apart Monday.
He railed at the chair umpire. His legs grew weary. His double-faults mounted. He could not figure out a way to stop the 6-foot-6 del Potro from pounding forehand after forehand past him. In a result as surprising for who lost as how it happened, del Potro came back to win his first Grand Slam title by upsetting Federer 3-6, 7-6 (5), 4-6, 7-6 (4), 6-2.
Federer's U.S. Open Streak Ends in Emotional Loss to Del Potro (Bloomberg.com)
Roger Federer was rolling toward his record-tying sixth consecutive U.S. Open championship when a line challenge got in the way.
"I got off to a pretty good start, and had things under control as well in the second set," Federer said. "I think that one cost me the match eventually. But I had many chances before that to make the difference. So it was tough luck today, but I thought Juan Martin played great. I thought he hung in there and gave himself chances, and in the end was the better man."
Del Potro beats Federer in US Open final (Belfast Telegraph)
Roger Federer's five-year reign as US Open champion has come to an end following a four-hour battle with Juan Martin del Potro last night.
The two men shared the first four sets, but the world number one began to flag in the decider.
Federer was typically gracious in defeat, saying he had a great tournament, but del Potro was the best competitor.
Del Potro leaves Federer in daze with US Open win (Washington Post)
Roger Federer sat in his sideline chair, listening to the music, gazing into the distance - the glassy-eyed look of a defeated man.
The owner of the most Grand Slam titles in history - maybe the best player of all time - finally lost at the U.S. Open, but not to Rafael Nadal, Andy Roddick or even Andy Murray.
Juan Martin del Potro puts thrilling end to Roger Federer's US Open reign (Times Online)
For Federer, it was a remarkable end to an incredible year that began with him unable to stem the tears at the Australian Open when he lost an epic five-set battle to Nadal. His first French Open triumph changed everything and, when he won Wimbledon, he broke the record of wins in grand-slam tournaments set by Pete Sampras. Win No 16 was agonisingly close but Del Potro snatched it away from him with a brilliant performance.
I am sure that we all agree with you: how lucky we are to live in the Roger Federer era! Never has there been anything or anyone in the world that has made me get up in the middle of the night or stay up until far after midnight just t
You are the best tennis player ever,and many more GS will come ou way.Remember Wimbledon 2008 nad you won in 2009.Having said that I was quite disapponted that the press claims you had uttered profainites at the chair umpire.If this true it
by the way, take care mirka! and you cute lil twins! :D
-Federer tuvo palabras de elogio hacia vos... Viniendo de él, no se debe sentir lo mismo.
-Sí, me dijo que disfrute mi momento, que me lo merecía, y eso es increíble porque nadie me lo cuenta, lo vivo yo ahí. Sentí que me
But I better think in the future. I think you are ready to win the 4 individual slams in 2010 season.
U really played well but that was his lucky 2 win US Open but no problem stll u r d best n No 1.
Am wishing u the best luck in DAVIS CUP.

ZEPHYR COVE - For a second it looked like Whittell might pull it off.
Garrett Bronken's free throw hit the rim perfectly and rebounded back into his hands, just like he intended. With 8 seconds on the clock and down by two, Bronken turned for the layup right as Incline senior Rob Rubsamen's hand came down on top of the ball and popped it free.
Rubsamen's steal was the final nail in Incline's 46-44 come-from-behind win Tuesday at Whittell. It was a nail-biting final minute, but the loss all came back to a sloppy third quarter that was riddled with turnovers.
The Warriors started out strong enough.
Austin Neil dropped a huge 3 to open the game and welcome Incline to Whittell. The Warriors hung on to their early lead with layups from Mark Waite.
Whittell followed it with a low scoring second quarter, seven points, but then so did Incline, six points. The Warriors held a 17-14 edge going into half.
The third quarter was the game changer. Whittell's defense struggled with the Highlanders' outside game.
"The last three games we've been concentrating so much on the inside that they were just a little hesitant to get out on the shooters," Whittell coach Phil Bryant said.
The result was a 21-point third from Incline. Add a substantial number of Whittell turnovers to that, and it equals a 21-15 third that gave Incline its first lead of the game.
"Too many turnovers really hurt us," Bryant said. "In that quarter we had 11 turnovers, and six of them led directly to baskets."
The Warriors regained momentum in the fourth, but Incline held the game just out of reach with free throws as each team fought for the clock to tick in their favor. Incline's Jack Clouthier and Tommy Thompson turned in 3-for-4 at the line in those final minutes.
The Warriors had two chances in the final 10 seconds. A 3-pointer that would have tied the game bounced off the rim in Incline's favor, and then the steal that squashed Bronken's last-chance layup plans.
The win improves Incline to 10-9 overall and 2-2 in Mount Rose League play. Whittell fell to 10-7 overall and 0-4 in league.
"I thought the sportsmanship was really good on both sides. All in all, I feel good about the effort, but I'd still rather be winning. The only reason I'm disappointed is for the guys," Bryant said.
UP NEXT: the Warriors will travel to North Tahoe (7-10, 2-3) to meet the Highlanders for the third time this season on Friday at 7:30 p.m. The Warriors won their first game against North Tahoe 46-44, and lost the second game 63-62.
Whittell and South Tahoe (9-8, 3-0) will face off Saturday at 6 p.m. at South Tahoe High School.

Quote: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/books/05huck.html?_r=1&hp=&pagewanted=print
Publisher Tinkers With Twain
By JULIE BOSMAN
A new edition of "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" is missing something.
Throughout the book — 219 times in all — the word "nigger" is replaced by "slave," a substitution that was made by NewSouth Books, a publisher based in Alabama, which plans to release the edition in February.
Alan Gribben, a professor of English at Auburn University at Montgomery, approached the publisher with the idea in July. Mr. Gribben said Tuesday that he had been teaching Mark Twain for decades and always hesitated before reading aloud the common racial epithet, which is used liberally in the book, a reflection of social attitudes in the mid-19th century.
"I found myself right out of graduate school at Berkeley not wanting to pronounce that word when I was teaching either 'Huckleberry Finn' or 'Tom Sawyer,' " he said. "And I don't think I'm alone."
Mr. Gribben, who combined "Huckleberry Finn" with "Tom Sawyer" in a single volume and also supplied an introduction, said he worried that "Huckleberry Finn" had fallen off reading lists, and wanted to offer an edition that is not for scholars, but for younger people and general readers.
"I'm by no means sanitizing Mark Twain," Mr. Gribben said. "The sharp social critiques are in there. The humor is intact. I just had the idea to get us away from obsessing about this one word, and just let the stories stand alone." (The book also substitutes "Indian" for "injun.")
Since the publisher discussed plans for the book this week with Publishers Weekly, it has been "assaulted" with negative e-mails and phone calls, said Suzanne La Rosa, the co-founder and publisher of NewSouth Books.
"We didn't undertake this lightly," Ms. La Rosa said. "If our publication fosters good discussion about how language affects learning and certainly the nature of censorship, then difficult as it is likely to be, it's a good thing."
The news set off a storm of angry online commentary, scolding the publisher for "censorship" and "political correctness," or simply for the perceived sin of altering the words of a literary icon. Twain admirers have turned his hefty "Autobiography of Mark Twain," published last year, into a best seller.
An initial print run of 7,500 copies has been planned for the revised "Huckleberry Finn." The print edition is scheduled for publication in February, and a digital edition could go on sale as early as next week.
Mr. Gribben said no schools had expressed interest yet in teaching the book — nor did he say what ages he thought the edition appropriate for. In his introduction, however, he writes that "even at the level of college and graduate school, students are capable of resenting textual encounters with this racial appellative."
Ms. La Rosa said that the publisher had had advance orders from Barnes & Noble, Borders and other bookstores, and that she expected more orders from schools and libraries.
Some English teachers were less than thrilled about the idea of cleaning up a classic.
"I'm not offended by anything in 'Huck Finn,' " said Elizabeth Absher, an English teacher at South Mountain High School in Arizona. "I am a big fan of Mark Twain, and I hear a lot worse in the hallway in front of my class."
Ms. Absher teaches Twain short stories and makes "Huck Finn" available but does not teach it because it is too long — not because of the language.
"I think authors' language should be left alone," she said. "If it's too offensive, it doesn't belong in school, but if it expresses the way people felt about race or slavery in the context of their time, that's something I'd talk about in teaching it."
Tamar Lewin contributed reporting.
Quote: "I found myself right out of graduate school at Berkeley not wanting to pronounce that word when I was teaching either 'Huckleberry Finn' or 'Tom Sawyer,' " he said.
Mark in Minnesota wrote: I approve of this, for two reasons:
1. This is the important one: All those books are in the public domain. The original text is available online, to anyone, for free and forever. Public domain means that anyone can take a copy of the work and do whatever they want to it -- and that those changes can never become an alteration to the authoritative text, because the original text belongs to all of us.
2. It's a routine thing to update aging text for modern vernacular, particularly with material that's intended for educational use. Language is a living thing and text needs to be too. This is part of the reason why centuries-old classics in foreign languages are often subjected to fresh translations. Much of Mark Twain's text was written in a dialect of American English that is no longer spoken. Taking a piece of obsolete vernacular that has become a jarring and extreme pejorative and replacing it with a word that more clearly reflects the tone the author intended for the narrative is a good way to update the material for modern audiences.
Charlie Foxtrot wrote: If they're not old enough to understand the book then they shouldn't be reading it.

Is there a magical way to get the total length of a polyline?
It has to work with rounded corners. I only have one polyline per layer if that makes it easier.
At the moment I use normal lines which I calculate the total length of by using their coordinates (they lack the rounded corners though).

LEAGUE CITY (October 11, 2012)--One of the few competitive Election Day races in Texas is for a seat that hasn't been up for grabs in more than a decade.
Former presidential candidate U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, R-Houston, is retiring from Congress after more than 20 years, most of which he spent representing in the 14th Congressional District, where Republican Randy Weber and Democrat Nick Lampson are vying to succeed him.
Weber is a state lawmaker who burnished a reputation as one of the most conservative members in the Texas Legislature while Lampson is trying to return to Congress, and is running as a moderate in a redrawn district that is no longer as firmly Republican.
Paul seldom worried about losing.
He was re-elected with at least 60 percent of the vote his last six tries.

It's always difficult to put someone's challenges in the public limelight, but since you are an entertainer and are used to the shine..."
That is the intro Hey, Spike! used to get the ball rolling with Leon Joseph Littlebird, who is again facing health issues with the resurfacing of leukemia he beat before.
The popular native Colorado songwriter, singer, guitarist and flute player, is also a veteran ski instructor and trainer.
Now at 62, Leon is in his 59th year of skiing up at A-Basin, where he's been a trainer for six years, following eight years at Copper Mountain Resort and 29 years leading ski instructor clinics.
Leon's father was born in Silverplume in 1899 and his grandfather in Blackhawk in 1863.
"My mother was born in Taos in 1911, and my Navajo heritage comes from her side of the family," he explains.
As you read this, Leon is in the midst of a three-week regimen of treatment down in Boulder at the Healing River Restorative Center, where Lynn Thore is the owner and therapist.
"My experience here is truly wonderful. A progressive protocol of holistic treatments in a loving environment surrounded with healing energy," Leon notes. "I am learning so much about how the body heals in a natural way."
"My first experience with leukemia was 17 years ago and I survived radical chemotherapy," says Leon.
Here are some more of Leon's thoughts in his own words:
"Four years ago, while in the hospital for pneumonia, the doctors did some tests and informed me that I had leukemia again. I consulted a couple doctors I trust and they all agreed.
"Turns out, they wanted to put me back on the same chemo that did not work 17 years ago, only now they do it every four years. No way will I ever do that again.
"So, for the last four years, as you know, I have been a pretty healthy and very happy guy. This summer I had some of the greatest experiences of my life, real bucket list stuff - like running the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon, as a gig. Thing is, I have known I was getting sicker for about a year now - just could not admit it to anyone but myself.
"The last few months have been really difficult. Symptoms are getting more profound all the time. No skiing for awhile, my spleen is painfully swollen and a fall would be dangerous."
"This time I am doing a progressive treatment protocol that will heal the disease holistically."
"I am surrounded with love and healing energy here, and have a full schedule of treatments each day for three weeks," he adds. "My lifestyle will change as well, a healthier and more centered me."
Leon expresses his appreciation of the support this way:
"My friends and the whole community have given me so much support. I am so grateful and blessed by their incredible energy. Their outpouring of love and prayers is making the healing happen."
The Tom Fricke photo of Leon is from the recent "Circle of Dreams" concert with Len Rhodes at Dillon's Lord of the Mountains Lutheran Church in November.
Tom is a good friend of Leon's and well known as a radio personality.
Together they do the "SnowShow" on Krystal 93 FM every Saturday and Sunday morning at 8 during ski season.
In addition to teaching skiing and his performances, Leon conducts marriage ceremonies.
"The sacred blessings at weddings, of which I do about 20-25 a year, all honor the traditions of the ancestors indigenous to our holy land," he says. "I work with each couple to make sure it is a fit for them and expresses their love and union."
There are plans in the works for a benefit concert/silent auction in January to help Leon with all the expenses, which are many.
"For now, just keep holding me in your thoughts and prayers and sending all that good energy you have always sent me," says Leon.
"That is how I will heal and once again rise above this challenge, growing stronger and wiser in the process."
"Many sacred blessings ..."
Miles F. Porter IV, nicknamed "Spike," a Coloradan since 1949, is an Army veteran,
former Climax miner, graduate of Adams State College, and a local since 1982. An award-
winning investigative reporter, he and wife Mary E. Staby owned newspapers here for 20 years.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- A Michigan legislative committee has passed bills designed to ensure the state sales tax is collected during more Internet purchases.
Supporters of legislation approved Wednesday by the House Tax Policy Committee say they're about treating traditional businesses fairly. Critics say the "Amazon tax" is a tax hike.
Retailers like Wal-Mart must collect sales taxes when selling goods over the Internet. But online retailers like Amazon don't have to collect taxes unless they have a physical presence in Michigan.
Amazon is located in Michigan, but critics say the law must be changed to ensure Amazon can't avoid collecting the 6 percent sales tax.
Backers of the legislation acknowledge it would ensure just a fraction of the nearly $500 million in taxes from remote sales will be collected unless Congress also acts.

Europe, 1347. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death reaches Europe, and during the next 4 - 5 years, the population of Europe will be halved. The players settle in the various regions of Europe, while the plague spreads throughout all of the continent. The players gain help from the various classes of the middle ages: The Peasants provide population growth, the wise Monks keep the rats away, the rich Merchants flee when the plague approaches, the warfare conducted by the Knights spreads the plague to new areas, the Witches control the spread through magic and witchcraft, whereas the Kings avoid the plague by staying in their fortified palaces. But the plague does not make any distinction: When the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. When the plague withdraws and the game ends, the player with the highest surviving population wins.

text: I am really upset about this. I did Cambridge oh, about ten years ago now, lost 5 stone. I've yo-yo'd but have never gone near the 14 and a half stone I once was. However, I struggle big time with maintenance (I am a binge eater.) Most years I've ended up doing a few weeks on Cambridge to keep the weight off. Last year I noticed that there was either something new in the Cambridge products or they took something out, I don't know, but they tasted horrible to me, I could barely force them down my neck. On the reccommendation of a friend I tried Exante. Stuck religiously to it for 2 weeks - lost 2lbs. I wasn't very good at being self-motivated so decided to try Lighter Life. I started on Feb 1 so I am now on day 10. I weighed in at 12'12 o) and I was weighed on Feb 4 for a motivator and had one - I had lost 5lbs. Great. Then on Feb 7th it was the group meeting, I'd lost a pound. I'm flagging tonight and weighed myself - I've GAINED a pound. How is that even possible on a week of less than 600 calories?

Miss. quail season opens Thanksgiving Day
Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2012 at 8:16 a.m.

JACKSON, Miss. — Mississippi's quail season opens Thanksgiving Day.
While hunters have seen a decline in quail over the past years, Dave Godwin with the Mississippi Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Parks said, "the 2012 quail hatch was good where habitat was suitable."
Godwin says the best bet for finding quail is in areas with patches of thick cover associated with fields or upland forests with grassy ground cover.
The season continues through March 2 and the daily bag limit is eight.

Leading up to your procedure:
You may be given:
A long incision will be made in the skin on your abdomen. The organs will be examined for disease. The doctor may take a
biopsy. If the problem is something that can be repaired or removed, it will be done at this time. The opening will be closed using staples or stitches.
About 1-4 hours
Anesthesia will prevent pain during surgery. Pain and discomfort after the procedure can be managed with medications.
You will be in the hospital several days. If you have problems, you may need to stay longer.
During your stay, the hospital staff will take steps to reduce your chance of infection, such as:
There are also steps you can take to reduce your chance of infection, such as:

I've been experiencing a problem while watching MKVs in PMS for quite some time (in several different PMS releases). What happens is while I'm watching a MKV video file sometimes the image speeds up going out of sync, while the audio stays normal; this happens irregularly, one day I may be watching a whole MKV of 2 hours length without this happening, but another day I may be watching the same MKV again and this problem happens every 3/5 mins. As far as I am aware, this happens with every MKV.
I tried several things to no avail: closed the MKV and played it again, restarted my PS3, closed and started PMS again... I searched this forum for solutions and only found topics describing this same problem (from 2 or 3 years ago) but with no one telling a final solution for this matter. I tried one suggestion, from one of those topics, which was to activate the "Force framerate parsed from FFMpeg" in MEncoder, but the problem remains.
Is there any solution for this?
I have the latest PMS (1.90.1), java is up to date and I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate x64 (also up to date).
I'm using MEncoder (at least that's the info that shows up when I open the MKVs in my PS3).
My PS3 is connected directly through a cable to my router and the same goes for my PC.

Lindsay Lohan says her two-week disappearance from filming her reality TV show was because she had a miscarriage.
Lohan broke the news during the final episode of her OWN show, after being asked to reflect on her experience taping the show, according to TMZ.
"No one knows this," Lohan said. "I had a miscarriage for those two weeks that I took off. It's a very long story, but that's why on the show when it says she doesn't want to come down, I couldn't move. I was sick. Mentally, that messes with you."
It's finally happened -- a Lindsay Lohan story we can't make fun of.
Lohan didn't elaborate further, nor did she identify the man with whom she got pregnant.
Before starting to cry, she continued talking about her time on the show. "Here's the thing, even if it's not my intention to lose everything I've worked for, that's what this addiction will do to me. You guys love it when I cry ... it's a really (expletive) up disease and it's really scary."
E! News reported that, after pulling herself together, Lohan said she's looking forward to starting work on a new film in June.
"I'm happy," she said. "The biggest thing I learned from this experience and doing this show is my work ethic is different. I have that fire back in me."

If you live in the greater New York area, you may have heard some buzz about the Lower East Side's ever-popular Meatball Shop. On this morning's Today Show, the owners made a batch of their signature balls for all of America.
I may be biased (living only three blocks from the delicious establishment) but given that I walk by the place so often, I can attest to the lines of people spilling out onto the street just waiting to try these tasty, meaty balls.

Ok this title is little misleading. This blog post is not just about logging in clojure (or the JVM), but also about the whole amazing world of log management and analysis. I am working on this side project during nights and weekends. Since it's a green-field project, I wanted to get logging right. Ater all, at the end of all my past projects , I always came to the conclusion that I could have done logging better. It isn't just me, but even when I speak with other software developers they also feel that logging could use more attention. This is my attempt to help myself and in the process help others get logging right.
Logging library in clojure:
It is a very simple ecosystem. We have clojure/tools.logging. It is a set of logging macros that delegates to specific logging implementations. OK, and what does specific logging implementation mean? To understand this better, we need to understand the logging ecosystem in Java.
History of logging in Java:
Log4J was the first well known java logging library. In fact, it is still used in many projects. It's probably the most popular.
When Sun realized that logging is important, instead of incorporating log4j, they went ahead and created another logging framework. It was called JUL (short form for java.utils.logging). Honestly, I do not see any benefit of using JUL over log4j. They probably went "hey, log4j wasn't invented here, so lets create something else to do the same thing". So that pretty much created the first split between java libraries where some were using log4j and some were using JUL. Already, it started getting difficult to make different libraries work together.
As libraries should not impose the use of a particular logging implementation, another project created called Commons Logging came to be. It was advertised as an ultra thin bridge between different logging implementations. So a library using commons logging could change the logging implementation (log4j or JUL ) at runtime. It used class-loader magic and dynamic binding to load specific logging implementations. Of course, it became complex to debug issues. In the end, it created more problems than it solved, and people were not particularly happy about commons logging.
So the creator of Log4j, Ceki Gulcu, created a logging facade called SL4j (short form for "Simple Logging Facade for Java"). SLF4J, unlike commons logging is an API, which allows end users to plug-in their desired logging system at deployment time. It does not have any class-loader magic or dynamic binding like commons loggings. SLF4J binding is hardwired at compile time to use a specific framework. As slf4j is an API, it needed an adapter layer on top of log4j, JUL and commons logging. SLF4J already comes with adaptor layers for commonly used logging frameworks.
[image from http://www.slf4j.org/manual.html]
Ceki Gulcu also felt it was time to improve log4j. So he created logback. You can go through the reasons to switch from log4j (or JUL) to logback. For now logback is considered the best logging implementation we have for the JVM. The best part of logback is it natively implements SLF4J API. So we do not need any slf4j adaptor layer to use logback with slf4j.
Now that we have seen the logging ecosystem in JVM, in the next part of this series, we'll take a look some more at SLF4J.

ARLINGTON, Texas – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team lost 8-7 on Saturday afternoon, but they were still able to clinch a spot in the Southland Conference Tournament that starts next week. The Islanders will play Sam Houston State at 12 p.m. next Wednesday in the first round of the tournament.
In the final game of the regular season, the Islanders held an early lead, fell behind, regained the advantage, and then lost late against UT Arlington to finish the weekend.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi finishes the regular season 23-31 overall, and were 14-19 in Southland Conference games. UTA finished 32-23, 19-14 in league play. Phillip Garcia got the start for the Islanders, going 4.2 innings and giving up four runs, two of them earned, on six hits with one walk and three strikeouts.
Garcia was the first of six pitchers, as the Mavs worked their way back into the game until scoring the winning run in the bottom of the ninth. Adam Hoelscher was tagged with the loss to go to 6-7 on the season.
The team tied a season high with 17 hits, led by Brad Porras with a 4-for-5 day. Jeramie Marek and Eric Weiss had three hits apiece, Drew Vest, Jonathan Gonzales and Santiago Ruiz had two hits each, and Jordan Lee rounded the lineup out with one hit on the day.
In a game of many chances, the Islanders were the first to take advantage, scoring a single run in the top of the third inning. Marek started things off with a single to right, and moved to second on a Drew Vest single. After a pitch hit Jonathan Gonzales, the bases were loaded for Jordan Lee. The left fielder singled to left, scoring Marek for the first run of the game to make it 1-0 while Vest was called out on a play at the plate.
The Mavs scored two runs in the bottom of the inning to take a 2-1 lead, but the Islanders responded with three in the top of the fourth to regain the lead.
Porras started things off with a single to left field, and moved to third on a Weiss double. Stafford Brantley grounded out to second to score Porras and tie the game, and was followed by a Ruiz bunt single that score Weiss to make it a 3-2 lead. Marek then walked to move Ruiz to second, and a Gonzales single to left scored Ruiz to make it a 4-2 game.
They added three more in the fifth, with Porras leading things off with another single, and moving to second on a single by Weiss. After Brantley walked to load the bases, the Islanders looked like they would score a run, but the ball hit Weiss on a single by Ruiz to keep the bases loaded, but with two outs. It would not stop the team from getting runs however, as Marek singled to center to score two and make it a 6-2 lead. Vest followed with a double down the left field line to score Ruiz for a 7-2 score.
UTA got back three runs in the bottom of the inning to cut it to 7-5, and then scored single runs in the sixth, seventh and eighth to take an 8-7 final.
Now the Islanders must turn their attention to Southland Conference Champion Sam Houston State in the first round of the tournament. The two teams play at noon on Wednesday, May 23 at Bobcat Ballpark on the campus of Texas State.

Before diving into this weekend, how about a little history?
With "Iron Man" having opened just three weekends earlier to a stunning $98 million dollar draw, "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" jumped out of the gate Memorial Day weekend 2008 to a total just a hair over $100 million. That's two of the 12 largest openings in the span of one month.
But wait, Memorial Day 2007 there was "Pirates 3" for a total of $114 million. And that same month, "Spider-Man 3" at $151, and "Shrek the Third" at $121. All three, of course, are top 10 opening weekend totals.

The spirit of nature was thanked for the wholesome plant root at a Bitterroot feast last Wednesday in the St Ignatius Community Center. Chanting the blessing song to J the feast and the Bitterroot were Pete WcKx'-ock and Johnnie Arlee. Mose Chouteh (Cow Tail) thanked the spirit for the bounty of the crop and aske ' ^hat both the people and the Bitterroot might be sustainec *or another year. He also asked the spirit to continue t;.. old ways through the young people of the tribe. Following the blessing and thanks came the feast. Some 100 persons enjoyed a traditional bitterroot feast meal of boiled Bitterroot and Sarvice Berries (see page 6 for reci-pies), fried bread and boiled meat. The celebrants were also erved ham. salads and Dies. The meal was prepared bv Mary Linsbiegler, Mrs. Hank IVLLeod, Mrs. Octave Finley and elen Adams. ^JThe bitterroot was provided by Johnnie Arlee and his Indian Studies Class from Arlee High School. Arlee and his 13 students went down to the fields west of Missoula Wednesday morning to pick the feast bitterroot in one of the traditional Salish grounds. Bitterroots gathered for the feast are dug early. . . usually before their prime. This is because nobody is allowed to dig the plant for their own use before it has been Messed at a feast. The bitterroot is in its prime stage just after the feast and the people have about one week to gather a vears supply before the plant blossoms into its characteristic pink flowers. Other dishes at the feast were provided by the Community Action Program ( More starting on page b) KYI-YO Speakers On Indian Youth Missoula (Char-Koosta): Montana Governor Tom Judge was the first of five speakers to address the fifth annual Kyi Yo Indian Youth Days at the University of Montana. Judge, who had proclaimed the week of the conference "Montana Indian Week", key-noted a program which included Navajo Tribal Chairman Peter McDonald, Hopi religious leader Thomas Banyaka, U.ofM. Indian Studies Director Henrietta Whiteman and Principal Chief of the Cherokee Nation, William Keeler. The three day conference started May 3 and brought together Indians from Montana and the United States and Canada. The theme of this year's program was "Cultural Integrity" (continued on page 5) Reservation Hendrickson and Matt To Go On European Junket Schools Dixon (Char-Koosta): Two reservation Indian high-school girls will see Europe and Russia this summer, complements of the Tribe. Alethea Lynn Hendrickson, 17, a Junior at St. Ignatius High School and Shannon Ronette Matt, 16, a Sophomore at Arlee High will take part in the 45 day "Person to Person" tour starting June 17. The tour is a cultural exchange program started during the I950's by President Eisenhower. The program includes home-stays with families in various European countries. The girls were selected from a number of high-school candidates last montn by a reservation-wide meeting of Johnson O'Malley Committeemen. The girls were selected on their knowledge of Indian customs and history and their ability to communicate with others. Alternate choices to Miss Matt and Miss Hendrickson were: Lenette Perkins, Shelley Fyant, Terry McDonald, Merna Adams and John Big Crane. Both of the girls are Indian studies students. Miss Matt is a member of Johnny Arlee's Youth Drum and Singing Group and is taking Indian studies at Arlee High School. Miss Hendrickson is enrolled in the Indian Studies Program at St. Ignatius High School. ine trip will take in seven buropean countries....England, Germany, France, the Netherlands, Austria, Finland, and Switzerland . . . and will include home stays in London, Berlin, Vienna and Copenhagen. The Tribal Council is footing the $2,000 expenses Meet Slated Ronan (Char-Koosta): A reservation-wide conference on Indian Education has been slated for August 24 and 25 at the Ronan Community Center. The meet will deal not only with the problems of Indian students but will also focus on the mechanics of school systems. It is hoped the dual nature of the conference will bring out the reasons why schools do not deal effectively with Indian education needs and come up with some solutions to the problem. The meet was called and a tentative program drawn up Monday night at a meeting of the Reservation JOM Conference Steering Committee. Also attending the meeting was Earl Barlow, Indian Education Director for the State Department of Education and Tribal Human Resources Officers, (cont. on page 3)

First set highlights include a short and furious Jim and the Simple>Timber. This Timber features the most inspired playing of the night. Trey also shouts "Hey Guyute!" repeatedly in the background during the first section of Guyute, something I've never heard before.
A Day in the Life is such a strange second set opener, and the only time the band ever used the song in this position. A 16 minute Bowie is pleasant, but has no notable moments. A mid-set Ha Ha Ha would suggest some hijinks or weirdness to come, but the Hood that follows is very pedestrian.
Despite the presence of Butch Trucks (or maybe because of this), the Possum never really lifts off, though this version does have Fishman adding some trombone.
The encore appears to have been an off-the-cuff decision to play a song with Buffet. The strange guest pairing isn't bad, but was I'm sure more fun in person.
A subdued end to the Florida run, with a bit of novelty factor the only thing that stands out .The Orlando show two nights earlier is really the best show of this week in Sunshine State.

Dollar Bank donates $2M 'White Elephant" to Homewood Renaissance Association
REV. EUGENE BLACKWELL by Christian MorrowCourier Staff WriterIn 2008, work was completed on what was to be a new Family Dollar store on Frankstown Avenue in Homewood. But the company refused delivery of the structure, and it has remained vacant for five years. Now, not without a touch of poetic irony, that "white elephant" might serve as a catalyst for rebuilding the community. During a June 18 press conference, the Homewood Renaissance Association announced that despite purchase offers, Dollar Bank has donated the $2 million structure to serve as a new community center and the anchor of a multi-initiative effort to rebuild North Homewood.

TULSA, Okla. (AP) — Two Tulsa church employees who pleaded no contest to not promptly reporting the rape of a 13-year-old girl have completed their jail sentences.
Paul Howard Willemstein and Anna Alisa George were each sentenced to 30 days in jail after pleading no contest to failure to report child abuse. The Tulsa World reports (http://bit.ly/Xw9vGM ) both were released last week after serving 15 days.
Authorities say Willemstein and George were let out early because they did extra work in the jail, such as cleaning and other chores.
Their attorney says Willemstein and George are grateful to be out of jail and have returned to work at Victory Christian Center.
A former janitor, Chris Denman, pleaded guilty to several charges last year, including the rape of the 13-year-old girl on the church campus.

Ever had a cast iron Dutch oven, Skillet, or griddle acquire a smell that may not be so favorable? If so, it's probably gone rancid. It can happen from time to time due to how people tend to clean their cast iron, or perhaps more common, how long it's been since they last cooked in it.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Cal coach Mike Montgomery, peppered with questions about Jabari Bird, called the Bay Area prospect "probably the most high-profile freshman" he has brought to Berkeley and predicted, "He's going to be a great player."
But Montgomery said the job of helping Bird become that player falls to senior point guard Justin Cobbs.
"It's going to be the responsibility of a guy like Justin to make sure that we take advantage of his abilities," Montgomery said Thursday at Pac-12 media day.
In other words, as always with Montgomery, he wants his upper classmen to shoulder the pressure and leadership on his team.
The Bears were picked to finish fifth in the Pac-12 in a poll of media covering the conference, and Bird's arrival as a top-25 national recruit from Salesian High certainly is one reason.
But Cal returns four starters from last year's NCAA tournament team, and Cobbs is the most accomplished of the bunch. He is the Bears' top returning scorer (15.1 points per game) and was fourth in the Pac-12 in assists (4.8).
Cobbs welcomes a bigger leadership role.
"They know how to play basketball. It's just teaching them the little things," Cobbs said. "As young guys, maybe they don't know how to use a screen or get through a screen.
"But the freshmen are very receptive. Jabari's very coachable. We don't have any egos on this team."
Cobbs attended Deron Williams' camp in Brooklyn last summer, where he got the chance to play with the likes of Arizona State's Jahii Carson and get feedback from NBA scouts.
"What I heard from the NBA scouts is just keep working and I'm right on the cusp of being one of the best point guards," Cobbs said.
He also heard some of the same things Montgomery has been telling him for a couple of years, especially regarding when to share the ball.
"Being a leader you have to be comfortable in your own skin. Not everybody is," Montgomery said. "Justin wants so badly to be a great player. He's matured in a lot of ways.
"There are times he tries to do too much. For him, he's got to make others better. That's his best opportunity moving ahead."
Cobbs said the message is getting through.
"It's funny, being around Coach for so long, you don't know what you have until you get older," Cobbs said. "As a senior, you finally understand all the little things he's been telling you since you were a sophomore.
"I'm like, 'Why didn't I listen when I was younger?' "
A trim-looking 187 pounds (down from 195 last season), Cobbs said he limits the amount of time he practices, but not the nature of what he's doing, just to be cautious.
"It's so early, no point in even taking that risk," he said.
"He hasn't flinched once," Montgomery said.
Montgomery laughed and said he needed to avoid an answer that would get him in trouble.
Describing a hypothetical scenario, Montgomery said, "If I was built and looked like Krystko, I would probably tackle him, wrestle him to the ground and sit on him, like he did."
Krystkowiak, a former NBA player, stands 6-foot-9.
"As it is, I would probably wish him well and hope that computer works for him."

RANDOLPH – Photographs by Bethel's Jesse Orr are now on display in the Gifford Medical Center art gallery.
Orr's show titled "The Looks of Vermont and More" runs until March 28 and includes everything from fall foliage blazing above winter snow, to snapshots of Irene's devastation and its survivors.
Orr got his start in photography when his grandparents gave him a digital camera as a graduation gift. He started taking pictures wherever he went, and then he started sharing those photos with family and friends.
Now many in the area know his photography.
He has shown in the Gifford Gallery for each of the last six years. He has been a vendor at the Bethel Farmer's Market since its inception in 2006, and his photos have been featured at the Frog Hollow Craft Shop in Middlebury.
Orr's works are currently hanging at Ketner's Café in Randolph. He has cards at Chaplain Farms in Bethel and participates in local presentations of art at the Bethel Public Library and Bethel Historical Society Postcard Show.
Many of his images depict Vermont nature in changing weather and sunlight, such as rainbows and at dawn and dusk. He carries his camera wherever he goes, capturing images out the truck window on his way to work, off the back porch at home, driving around to look at nature, or even from the sky by plane.
To see Orr's latest "Looks of Vermont and More," visit the Gifford Gallery. The gallery is located just inside the hospital's main lobby. Gifford Medical Center is at 44 S. Main St. (also Route 12) in Randolph. Call Gifford at (802) 728-7000 or Volunteer Coordinator Julie Fischer at (802) 728-2324 for more information.

AUGUSTA---One of the things that makes Augusta National so special is that it can be full of surprises...big ones and little ones.
Four-year-old Miranda Dunn of Ann Arbor, Michigan has a spring in her step as she makes her way to the world's most famous golf course. She knows exactly what she's here to see.
"The Masters," she said.
And she knows what driving means: "Hitting the ball real hard!"
But she's still got a few things to learn about the game. "If they get it in the sand or the water, a shark might eat the water," she giggled.
"A shark might eat it," her mom played along.
Miranda won't see any of those things today, but she might see a Tiger. And Augusta National hopes she does. The most exclusive golf course in the world is working hard to be more inclusive when it comes to kids.
Kids have their own autograph section. It's roped off and guarded. No one older than 16 is allowed, which surprised some of golf's youngest fans.
"I didn't think we'd get right here in front of them and get to talk to them actually," said Jack Futch of Lawrenceville, Georgia.
And from the look of all the signatures we saw, the golfers are really signing off on Augusta National's efforts to be more kid-friendly. They know some of these kids are here for more than just autographs.
"I'm a big golf fan," said Ryan Johnston of St. Simons. "I like watching the players' form, and it's really fun to see what I'm doing wrong and they are doing right."
But it's not just the golfers. It's the course. It's the famous scoreboard they've seen on TV. These picture-perfect memories are priceless.
This is a day Miranda's family will never forget.
"That would be silly," Miranda laughs.
After all, sometimes it's the littlest people who get the biggest kick out of the Masters.
Even the pro shop is kid-friendly. Augusta National makes sure even babies can sport the Masters logo.
The Junior Pass program starts tomorrow. Every patron with a badget who registered ahead of time can bring a child with them. When the National started that tradition a few years ago, we here at News 12 really noticed more kids on the course.
It used to be that once Tournament play started, the kids disappeared, but not anymore. That seems to be exactly the way the National wants it. These youngest fans are the future, and they know that.

Brazil to Produce More Sugar, Less Ethanol
From Google News
Brazil's sugarcane production will rise 6.5 percent this year but ethanol output will slump 5.22 percent as a greater focus is put on exporting sugar, the agriculture ministry said Wednesday.
Data from the national crop-forecasting agency Conab said sugarcane production in the world's leading producer could reach 595.13 million tons during the 2012-2013 harvest, up from 560.36 million in 2011-2012.
"Improved weather conditions from the second half of the year in the main producing areas, such as the central-south, makes possible an increased volume of sugarcane for the milling season," an official report said.
The sugarcane is predominantly used for either sugar production or for making ethanol.

If you're running on empty waiting for gas prices to go down, don't hold your breath.
We were around town today and caught prices pushing $2.90 a gallon.
With low supplies and international instability, things could get worse before they get better.
It's putting a pinch in everyone's plans...including those people paid to protect you.
If you've seen deputies riding around in Columbia County lately, you may have seen two or three deputies in one car. It's one of the ways deputies are dealing with those high gas prices.
As gas prices go up, up, up, so too are the number of ways local law enforcement are finding to cope with the pinch at the pump.
"We're doubling up on prisoner transports when possible. We are asking our officers to carpool when they're going off site for training. Those might sound like little things, but in the end, they do in fact save," says Capt. Steve Morris of the Columbia County Sheriff's Office.
And saving is key, as the department's fleet management is well over budget due to the rising gas prices.
Capt. Morris says some deputies are being asked to cut down on their idle patrol time--instead finding high visibility areas, parking and turning off their engines.
"What we've done has helped," Capt. Morris says. "We do know we have spent so far in eight months this year as much as we did all of last year [on gas]."
The high prices are also a concern in Richmond County...but they can't afford to double up because of a staff shortage. They have found other ways to conserve.
"When we can, we go to the substations, pick up reports and those sorts of things, shut the engines off, those kinds of things. We're doing all we can to conserve as much as we can," says Maj. Richard Weaver.
With gas prices seemingly going up and down and up again, Columbia County fleet manager Clayton Galloway says the department is now seeking a long-term solution.
"We're looking at hybrid vehicles, some alternative fuels, we're looking at some new technology on the market that makes vehicles more fuel-efficient," Galloway says.
Both departments say the cutting back is not affecting the level of law enforcement they are providing to the community.

2006 ITF World Champion
Roger has been elected 2006 ITF World Champion. He is only the fourth player to be named Men's World Champion for three consecutive years, following Björn Borg, Ivan Lendl and Pete Sampras.
Roger said: "I am honoured to be ITF World Champion for the third year in a row. It was a great year for me, finishing again as the world No. 1, winning 12 titles including three Grand Slams and reaching my first final at Roland Garros. The ITF Dinner in Paris is always a good evening and will give me another chance to celebrate my successful 2006 with the other World Champions and my friends in the tennis family."
This year, Roger reached all four Grand Slam finals, winning the Australian Open, Wimbledon and US Open. He posted an overall 92-5 win-loss record, and became the first player to earn over $8 million in annual prize money. Roger also helped Switzerland retain its place in the World Group of Davis Cup by BNP Paribas.
ITF President Francesco Ricci Bitti said: "Roger Federer was again the clear choice for ITF World Champion after another extraordinary season. In an extremely close women's contest, Justine Henin-Hardenne's overall consistency at the year's major events saw her emerge as champion."
The ITF announced that Justine Hénin-Hardenne (BEL) is the female World Champion and that Bob and Mike Bryan (USA) and Lisa Raymond (USA) and Samantha Stosur (AUS) are the 2006 ITF Doubles World Champions.
I guess now you'll have to make a new room for your awards!
keep going!
Your devout fan,
aleksandra from serbia
Hoping you always healthy, happy and will retain your #1 in 2007 + win RG.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team competed in the first game of the Fall World Series, with the Blue Team coming out on top 7-2 on Friday. Dalton D'Spain was the winning pitcher, while the Grey Team's Matt Danton took the loss.
Sophomore D'Spain had a splendid performance on the mound, baffling some familiar faces. He went six innings without allowing a run to score and only three hits. He also sat down three batters via strikeout.
The Blue Team's offense backed up its pitcher, scoring runs in three consecutive innings. The team picked up two in the second and third innings and one in the fourth to open up a big lead.
Senior Russell Vaughan was the major cog in the offense, going 2-for-3 with three runs scored and a double. Fellow senior Cody Stephens also chipped in with two hits of his own.
Two newcomers performed well offensively for the Blue Team. Blinn transfer Josh Garza picked up one RBI on a 2-for-4 performance, while freshman Dawson Yates joined the two hit parade, making both of those hits count by coming all the way around to score on each occasion.
It was the junior Danton who allowed five of the Blue Team's seven runs on the day. He also gave up nine hits and one walk in his five-inning performance.
A major part of the Grey Team's two runs were redshirt freshmen Zacarias Hardy and Dylan Shofner. Hardy drove in one of the team's tallies, while Shofner came across to score one of them, going 2-for-4 on the day.
The Grey Team will look to even up the series Saturday, but it will have to do it off a tough pitcher. Returning ace Trevor Belicek is scheduled to take the bump tomorrow for the Blue Team, while Tyler Schnuriger will get the nod for the opposing squad.
First pitch is set for 1 p.m. at Chapman Field. Admission to the game is free for those who would like to attend.
