From the Enchantment Collection by York Wallcoverings: Roll on, endless sea, roll on! Stylized waves create a rhythmic pattern with a nod toward ancient Nipponese art. The fluid lines are interwoven in a braid-like motif. The aqueous movement of shining strands on a softer striated ground reminds one of the phosphorescent glow on a shimmering nighttime sea. The flowing design of this textured vinyl wallcovering is mesmerizing and would make a definitive statement in a contemporary or modern setting.

Amid the Fiberglas boats in the Tahoe Keys Marina, 72 wooden classics bobbed gently at the dock on Friday.
The boats are part of the fifth annual South Tahoe Wooden Boat Classic presented by the Lake Tahoe Chapter of the Northern California Antique and Classic Boat Society.
The boats come from throughout Northern California and in all different shapes and sizes. From the elegant, 55-foot behemoth the Thunderbird to the 13-foot racer My Darling Lolita, the boats offer a diverse picture of Lake Tahoe's history.
"It's historical, it's like a museum. To be able to see all these boats here, it's a unique opportunity," STWBC Chair Steve Caplan said.
For the past three years, the Classic has been held in honor of the Dollars, a Lake Tahoe family that worked in the timber and steamship industries. Several of Robert Stanley Dollar Jr.'s boats were on display Friday, one of which evoked some fond memories from a STWBC attendee.
"I remember watching Stanley Dollar drive that boat," Bill Boezinger said, pointing at the 1924 Baby Skipalong.
Boezinger and his wife own a cabin at Fallen Leaf Lake and have made it up to South Lake Tahoe from their home in Orange County, Calif., every year since the Classic began to see the old boats and relive a bit of history.
Caplan estimates that the Classic brought in about 3,000 people last year, with about 60 percent of those attendees coming in from out of town.
Many of those boat aficionados come to see the five antique Dollar boats, and the sleek, aluminum Mercury stole much of the attention on Friday.
The Rolls Royce of racing boats, the Mercury is Franc Casey's dream. He restored the 1925 boat in 2002 after it had lain dormant for years because of a nasty tendency to catch an edge at high speeds.
"She had a history when she got to a certain speed, she'd flip, so they packed her up." Casey said.
With a new 600 horsepower engine, the boat, now owned by the California Department of Parks and Recreation, can still reach speeds of about 60 mph. Casey drives it about once or twice a year when it's not on display at Sugar Pine Point State Park.
"It's my favorite boat. She just lays down flat and goes like a rocket. She's a dream," he said.
As Tahoe residents and visitors alike wandered the dock casually, officials wearing STWBC shirts and holding clipboards boarded some of the crafts for a thorough inspection. Their job is to judge the boats, comparing the vessel not to the other boats in the marina but to the original classic, Judge Don Curtis said.
"The boats are not compared with each other. Each is capable of being first. We only compare it to what it would have looked like when it was built," Curtis said.
The classics have a lineage just like a painting or a thoroughbred, and Curtis said judges rely on owners' research to determine what that original boat would have looked like.
A boat that hasn't had one bolt replaced can score 100 points on the judge's scorecard, although it only needs a score of 92 points for a first place. But a change as simple as adding glue can cause a score to fall, and Curtis said he's never seen a 100-point vessel.
"It's only when you start looking at the details that you find things not as they should be," Curtis said.
He said he would award 100 points if he saw a boat that merited it, he said.
The award ceremony will take place on Saturday, July 28. Proceeds from the STWBC will benefit the Boys and Girls Club and Kiwanis Club of Lake Tahoe, the Tahoe Heritage Foundation, the Sierra State Parks Foundation and the Thunderbird Lake Tahoe Preservation Society.

At some fashion shows, clothes come down the runway that make you ashamed to be dressed at all. How can you wear jeans and a T-shirt when that model is wearing a whole ship? You just have to leave and start over tomorrow, presumably with the Robert Louis Stevenson collection.
"Holy Motors" is the movie equivalent of that. Why settle for the sexual uplift of "The Sessions," with Helen Hunt therapeutically pleasuring a disabled John Hawkes, when you can watch a bloody gnome lick Eva Mendes' armpit for absolutely no humane reason at all? It's couture ridiculousness.
The film has sprung from the mind of French filmmaker Leos Carax and ought to be seen to be believed, on the largest screen you can find, and probably sober, too, since it becomes its own narcotic. The opening credits feature three of the best consecutive words of the year -- "et Eva Mendes"! -- and the sort of acting from Denis Lavant that sets aside matters of pure craft and embraces bodily instinct (where Mendes is concerned, even the ones a man can't control).
I don't know what Lavant is playing here, because I've never seen anything like it.
The movie consists of him changing characters in a stretch limo. After he gets into the car as a billion-dollar titan, he exits as a crippled homeless babushka, then emerges once more in a full-body suit with motion-capture sensors to simulate an action sequence on a soundstage, then running on a treadmill with a machine gun, then intercourse with an Amazonian figure in a matching get-up. She kicks off her shoes as if it will really make a difference opposite a force as runty as Lavant.
Eventually, the man slips into a new costume. Inside the limo, I'd call it leprechaun record executive. But scurrying down into the sewers amid the homeless and, above ground, frantically eating the flowers at a cemetery and assaulting the visitors? It's "Troll 7."
His scrambling over people and headstones lands him at a photo shoot where Mendes is Mendes-ing for a scraggly photographer. As the cameraman shoots, he cries out "Beauty, beauty," then gets a load of the troll and falls deeper in love: "He's so weird," moans the photographer, snapping away as though what he'd actually said was, "He's so hot."
Anyway, the troll bites off the fingers of the cameraman's assistant, races up to Mendes, licks under her arm, and scuttles off to the sewers with her over his shoulder and proceeds to eat up her cash. Even if John Waters and Stephen Colbert got a movie into theaters tomorrow, it wouldn't be as sickly hilarious and knowingly off as this sequence. (Mendes looks like an "Attack of the 50-Foot Woman" doll, only Carax has spent the battery money.)
It's possible that this man, whom his driver (Édith Scob) calls, perhaps with a Hollywood wink, "Monsieur Oscar," might have a "normal" persona, too. He spins by a party and picks up a girl who's been sprinkling her hair with glitter. It's his daughter, and they proceed to have what passes for a poignant heart-to-heart about her worsening bashfulness.
There's almost no point in going on any further, because all of Carax's imagery and scenarios will exceed what I type. There are people who will find this tiresome, like their leg is being pulled over and over.
But for Carax I was happy to put up with it for two hours. You should consider throwing Carax some of your money. He's the rare filmmaker who will put it where his mouth is.

November 09, 2012
Up to 250,000 employers are set to join the Real Time Information in PAYE (RTI) pilot between now and 31 March 2013, according to HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC).
In April 2013, employers will start to send PAYE data electronically to HMRC each time they pay their employees as part of routine payroll processes, rather than sending a separate return at the end of the year. Returns will include details of all employees' pay, tax and deductions.
Ruth Owen, HMRC's director general personal tax, said: "The pilot continues to go very well and remains on track. We started with just 10 employers in April and now have over 1,800 PAYE schemes successfully submitting PAYE returns in real time, with more than 1.97 million individual records."
Owen added: "The main thing now is that those employers not in the pilot do not delay but start to prepare for April 2013 now – for example, by checking their software will be updated and employee data is accurate and up to date."
However, a quarter of UK SMEs have never even heard of RTI, and a third are uncertain how it will impact their business, according to the latest research from business software and services provider Sage UK.
The findings come from the October 2012 Sage Omnibus of over 1,000 UK SMEs. It also reveals that 50% of business owners don't know when the RTI changes will come into effect for their business.
Sage has released a new version of its payroll software for small and growing businesses, Sage 50 Payroll RTI Edition, developed using feedback from over 4,000 Sage customers that participated in the HMRC pilot. To find out more about RTI, small firms can get advice at Sage's online RTI resource centre.
"RTI represents the biggest change to PAYE reporting for over half a century and it will affect the way every business does things," said Lee Perkins, managing director, small business division, Sage UK. "HMRC is currently working hard to put it on the radar of everyone, but if you've not heard from your payroll software provider on RTI by now you need to be asking some serious questions about their readiness for it."

THE BAD: There's a handful of songs at this show that don't quite end as strongly as they begin. SOAM is of particular notice here. Lots of straight-ahead songs in this show also limit the spontaneity and variety of the show, compared to, say, the next night in Florida.
ETC: Page teases I Dream of Jeannie in Ya Mar (3:40). Ya Mar also contains some scatting by Mike. Page teases the James Bond theme in It's Ice (5:05) and the whole band play a Heartbreaker tease in Mike's (3:45). Trey called for Leprechaun after Mike's, but leaves Fish out of it as he starts Hydrogen. Trey thanks "Aaron and Scott" for hooking him up at the show during Daniel.
BOTTOM LINE: Straight ahead show with strong '93-era songs but nothing too out of the ordinary. 4/5

Vermieter kam zum Ein- u. Auschecken jeweils über eine halbe Stunde zu spät....
Zimmer war sauber u. modernisiert, leider war keine Küche oder Waschmaschine gemäß Angebot vorhanden....
Der Preis war allerdings in Ordnung!
Perfekt für junge Leute, die im Prinzip nur eine günstige Unterkunft suchen.... ohne viel Schnickschnack!
Le descriptif (une chambre et une salle de séjour) ainsi que la surface du logement étaient mensongers.
L'endroit dans lequel nous sommes arrivés était en plus très sale et très bruyant.
Bref, pas du tout adapté à un couple avec deux enfants en bas âge alors que le contraire avait été affirmé par l'hôte par email avant d'effectuer la réservation.
Nous avons pu changer d'appartement pour un autre plus grand moyennant un supplément alors que la moindre des choses aurait été d'effectuer le changement gratuitement...
L'organisation le jour de notre arrivée a été catastrophique aussi car notre hôte a mis plus d'une heure pour venir nous chercher à notre arrêt de bus.
Nous l'avions pourtant prévenu de l'heure de notre arrivée.
Les serviettes de toilette ont été un vrai gag aussi. J'avais demandé (toujours par email avant de réserver) si les serviettes étaient fournies. Oui m'a-t-on répondu.
Sur place, il y avait en effet une serviette (pour 4 !!)
J'ai dû réclamer pour avoir d'autres serviettes. Des serviettes neuves n'ayant jamais été lavées donc non utilisables.
Je ne recommande absolument pas. Il vaut mieux payer un peu plus et avoir un hôtel en fin de compte
Great location in Kowloon which is the real Hong Kong, place was small but that was ok, a lot of junk left in room as it had beds for many more people - washing machine was leaking when we arrived, host cleaned it up but let and it was still leaking , probably much better places to stay
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Kitty was being very helpful by finding us the apartment where we stayed .The apartment, for a family of 5 which we stayed in, was brilliantly located in the heart of yau ma tei, by being right outside across the underground station and close to alot of shops and restaurants. The apartment itself was fully equipped with household facilities and a strong free wifi. I would definitely stay here again next time as my stay was very pleasant.
You can't beat the location of this apartment - just minutes away from Mongkok station. In the evening you can wander in almost any direction and find good food and good shopping.
Will and Kitty were great hosts - very accommodating and welcoming. We would definitely stay here again in the future!
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
We book this unit as early as July of this year for October 27 on the morning of October 27 waiting for my flight to hongkong I checked my cell phone and to my surprise will messages me on October 26 around 11 pm and informed me that i will be transferred to a different location I felt i was cheated intentionally, he told me the occupants had an emergency and had to stay for couple of days well my point is that the occupants should be the one's to be transfered I paid for this unit precisely because of the location when we arrived at manming lane hk I preasured them to give us the unit and we were able to stay in the apartment but imagine the stress i have to go through I will never deal with them again very unprofessional.
Good stuff: 1). Host was friendly, responsive & helpful to some extent.
Location was great as it was 10-12 min walk to the MTR and next to the airport bus stand.
Some facts (I have most of the pic as proof)
a) The door mat was old, dusty and torn out in the middle.
b) one of the 2 sofa was so bad that they had to be covered with a cloth
c) The broken shower handle was never changed. You will have to take shower standing in 1 Sq Ft of area touching the toilet stuff. This is also because the shower was small. We have to move around rather than move the shower handle.
d) the biggest problem is the hot n cold water mix system. You have to balance your shower time between maneuvering your posting with the shower and mixing hot n cold water. There are two hot/cold water mix knobs which are to be constantly mixed to get warm water.
e) There were no towels given to us. I am 100% sure that the bed sheets were never washed.they are reused. I will request the owner to buy new bed and pillow sheets.
f) No one time cleaning shops or tolietteries are given
g) The Kitchen is disappointing: -> It seems they never changed the cooking utensils since the apartment started. They are all black and burnt. -> There are no serving spoon. -> One of the gas burner is bit of a struggle and i had complained about that. -> You will get one Sq ft if area to cook, wash dishes, Clean cloths in WM and the fridge. -> The kitchen water tap was never changed. You will get another round of shower because of the sudden water pressure from low to instant high. -> You will find used plastic spoons -> You will no dish washing liquid. They have put toilet left over soaps to be used for cleaning kitchen utensils. They will tell you to buy. -> The cleaning sponges are horribly used and reused. It is a reservoir of bacteria and germs.
g). The passage from the lift to the room will small leftover of dogs as there is one in the next door.
h) Beds: I am 5.9" and I had to sleep diagonally because of the bed length.
i) No Iron for your cloths.
j) They will not give you any thing as complementary. Not even one time drinking water.
I will not recommend anything but go by facts.
thanks for the excellent service from kitty and william.appreciate the utmost arrangement provided to us during the stay.overall,it is really value for money.good location n sweet apartment.would highly recommand to friends around and looking forward for next meet with kitty n william.
everything is perfect yet when talks about further improvement tht would suggest to upgrade the toilet facilities which seem been used couple of years.

A parcel tax in support of books will remain on the books for another 20 years. Santa Clara County voters overwhelmingly said "yes" to renewing a 20-year-old parcel tax that library officials say is critical for maintaining quality service.
Residents cast their votes by mail by Aug. 27 for Measure A, extending a $33.66 per year parcel tax for single-family homes in Santa Clara County, which officials say accounts for 18 percent of the district's budget.
Unofficial final results as of press time Aug. 28--with all 267 precincts reporting--show the measure passing with roughly 81.4 percent of the vote.
"It's a really great time for the library," said Cheryl Houts, the Campbell branch's community librarian. "We're just so thankful for all the volunteers that put together the wonderful effort to pass this measure."
Parcel tax measures require a two-thirds vote to pass. Just over 55,000 ballots were cast in this special election, according to the unofficial results from the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters.
The tax goes toward maintaining services and programs at nine local branches of the Santa Clara County Library District. Local library officials told this newspaper that the funds will help libraries buy books and up-to-date research materials, maintain library hours and services, keep librarians, continue summer student reading programs and provide a bookmobile program to bring books to seniors, the disabled and others.
Saratoga community librarian Gayathri Kanth said the parcel tax provides the revenue to pay for one in four materials the library purchases, whether it's a book or another item.
"The best thing about [Measure A passing] is now no cuts on the services and programs," she said. "We can continue providing the same level of programming, research and materials, so that's really truly the best benefit of this."
Funding from the measure also augments research materials, the summer reading programs, homework help and SAT test preparation, science programs for elementary school kids, toddler and preschool story times and teen book clubs and activities for youth.
Officials worried that if Measure A were to fail, cuts would have come at each library in the form of programs and services, special events and possibly laying off staff. Libraries also might have been faced with closing branches an additional day and a half each week and purchasing fewer books.
Kanth said the passage of the measure would help the library maintain many of those services.
"We're looking forward to providing the very best of the services that we're always known to do," she said.
Ballots were mailed to voters in late July and Measure A was the only issue up for a vote on the ballot.
The city councils representing all the nine municipalities in the library district as well as the Cities Association of Santa Clara County voted to support Measure A, according to deputy county librarian Derek Wolfgram.
The district serves residents in the unincorporated areas of Santa Clara County and the communities of Cupertino, Campbell, Saratoga, Gilroy, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Milpitas, Monte Sereno, and Morgan Hill.
In the run up to the Aug. 27 mail-in ballot deadline, the county released an independent study on the value of the library districts. Commissioned by the district and funded by the Cupertino Library Foundation, the study revealed a return on investment for local residents as high as 400 percent.

Looking to avoid three straight losses to open their Diablo Foothill Athletic League season, the Matadors picked up a big road win to get back on track, as the Dons' comeback attempt fell short.
"We know we're fighting for our playoff lives, and we know our backs are against the wall," Miramonte coach Jack Schram said. "We have to come out and play tough every game, and our defense came out and played tremendous in the first half."
Miramonte (3-4, 1-2 DFAL) used the ground game to build a 14-0 halftime lead, scoring touchdowns early in the first and second quarter, a 7-yarder from Conor Bruen and a 3-yard run by Nick Sheehan.
But it was a big passing play midway through the third that provided enough cushion. Facing third down from the shadow of their goal posts, Marshall Deutz took a short pass from Sheehan and turned it into a 90-yard scoring pass and a 21-0 lead.
Deutz finished with five catches for 164 yards.
Acalanes (4-2, 1-2 DFAL) made a charge late in the third quarter when Deshawn Johnson, who ran for 171 yards, scored from 10 yards to make it 21-7.
The Dons were threatening to score a few minutes later, but an interception at the goal line by Ray Clark ended the threat.
Miramonte 21, Acalanes 14

34-year-old Ryan Cunningham was arraigned Tuesday on drug, weapons and fleeing charges after he stole a Blackman-Leoni patrol unit and lead law enforcement on a chase.
Police arrested Cunningham last Friday at the Colonial Inn in Jackson County's Leoni Township. After he was put in the patrol unit, Cunningham was able to free himself from his handcuffs, get into the driver's seat and speed off.
A high speed chase ended in Monroe County, a mile from the Ohio border, when he rolled the SUV on U.S. 23.
This list of charges Cunningham is facing is:
- Operating and maintaining a lab involving meth
- Possession of methamphetamine
- possession of a short barrelled shotgun
- possession of a firearm by a felon
- Felony firearm
- unlawful driving away of a motor vehicle
- fleeing and eluding 4th degree
Cunningham remains in the Jackson County jail.

Freqently Asked Questions
A: If you are routing a decorative edge on the surface, the attachment will work best with a piloted router bit like #615. The pilot on the bit (a pilot is a guide section or bearing on the end of the router bit designed to follow the edge of the wood) works to follow the exact edge of the wood while the cutting is taking place. Piloted bits will not work down the center of the material to rout a channel. The pilot will burn off. If routing a decorative edge, use the attachment without the edge guide.
If you are routing a straight channel or line 2-3 inches from the edge of the work piece, use the edge guide and a straight router bit, like #650, #652 or #654. The guide will keep your line a consistent distance from the edge.
A: The router bits are constructed of high-speed steel, not carbide. Thus, they can heat up and burn the wood if you try to force them to take too much material too fast. Softer woods tend to have more sap which can add to the heat. Hard woods are simply more dense and may require two, shallow passes with the bit instead of one deep pass in order to get a good cut.
A: If you're routing a harder wood like oak, and your depth requirement exceeds 1/4", you will find greater success by making a second pass through the same channel routed. If you're working in a softer wood like pine, depths of up to 3/8" should be possible without difficulty.
A: Certain circular cuts can be made using the edge cutting bracket. Radii from 1-11/16" to 4" can be done. Remove the edge guide and attach the edge guide bracket to the guide rods. Use the finishing nail provided as a compass point. Set the edge guide bracket for the desired radius. Place the nail through the hole in the bracket and place the nail at the center of the desired radius to be cut. (The nail needs to be pounded into the subject material to act as a compass point). Once secured the router will easily make a circle.
A: The router bits are very sharp. They work on a variety of woods, but several factors alter their effectiveness. The speed at which you are routing will make a difference, so generally, don't force the tool through the wood too quickly. Another cause can simply be the kind of wood being used. Soft woods are fibrous and the fibers can break, causing a ragged appearance. Hard wood is more dense an more likely to produce a smooth cut.
There may be some finish work on routing. For example, on more fibrous woods some sanding may be necessary. Try using a flapwheel, a finishing buff, or even our Contour Sander. They are all designed to help make short work of finish sanding.
A: We make nine different router bits including a six piece router bit set. If you can't find what you're looking for online, in a major home center or hardware store near you, you can purchase directly through Dremel by calling 1-800-437-3635.

Holocaust Denial on Trial, Skeleton Argument of the Claimant (long): Electronic Edition, by Adrian DaviesTable of Contents
|<< Hitler's personal knowled...
|< Skeleton
|The 'Wannsee Conference' >
|Racism and Anti-Semitism >>
The Schlegelberger Memorandum
55. The Schlegelberger memorandum is central to the appeal on the facts. Contrary to Gray J's express finding at 5.162, Irving has never acknowledged that the Schlegelberger memorandum is in any sense "unsatisfactory." On the contrary, he has always contended that it is a contemporaneous, authentic, brief, official, precisely worded, internal ministerial record of Hitler's thinking on the Jewish question, and so of seminal importance.
56. Schlegelberger was a civil servant in the Reich Ministry of Justice. In English translation his memorandum reads:--
"Mr. Reich Minister Lammers informed me that the Führer had repeatedly declared to him that he wants to hear that the solution of the Jewish Problem has been postponed until after the war is over. That being so, the current discussions are of purely theoretical value, in Mr. Reich Minister Lammers' opinion. He will moreover take pains to ensure that, whatever else happens, no fundamental decisions are taken without his knowledge in consequence of a surprise briefing by any third party."
57.Gray J errs in the gravest fashion in assessing the real evidence actually before him when he states at 13.33 that the Schlegelberger memorandum was "unsigned" and "an Abschrift (copy) rather than an original document. . . " and that "there is no clear evidence of the context in which the note came into existence."
58.A facsimile of the Schlegelberger memorandum was before Gray J in Court at all times. As is apparent from the facsimile itself, it is not (unlike most of the Defendants' documents) an Abschrift (typed copy or transcript) at all, but an original with holograph signatures. The original is still in German Federal Archives in its original Reich Justice Ministry file called Behandlung der Juden ("Treatment of the Jews"), which provides all necessary contextual material. The whole text makes it plain that the Judenfrage ("Jewish question") to which Hitler refers is by no means confined to the issue of Mischlinge (people of mixed descent), as suggested by Evans.
59.On the Defendants' case and Gray J's findings, the Schlegelberger memorandum was generated at a crucial point in the chronology of the Holocaust, just a few weeks after the Wannsee Conference of January, 1942, as to the supposed importance of which see paragraph 62 below. Gray J told leading Counsel for the Defendants on Day 6, 19 January 2000, at page 168 of the transcript:--
"Mr Rampton, does it simplify matters if I say I am prepared to accept that there is good internal evidence that it is March or thereabouts 1942?"
60.While Gray J observes at 5.161 that:--
"The Defendants argue that no reputable and objective historian would nail his colours to the mast in the way that Irving has done by admitting only one possible interpretation of the note,"he fails to point out that no reputable and objective historian other than Irving has ever mentioned this memorandum at all, yet it mentions the Führer, the "solution of the Jewish problem", and "decisions", all in one paragraph, expressly stating that Hitler wished to see the "solution of the Jewish problem" postponed until the war was over.
61.The Defendants have produced nothing whatsoever of this evidential value relating, to the critical issue, namely the role of Hitler himself. The Defendants' experts have pretended in their books that it does not even exist. Their conduct in this regard amounts to an egregious suppresio veri et suggestio falsi.

How to Get Vim to do Filename Completion Even When You are Root
By Tim Cook on Nov 12, 2012
From the Obscure Unix Admin Tip of the Day section...
If you occasionally edit files as root (I never do, I always use pfexec, wink wink), then you may have noticed that the vim (Vi Improved) editor that normally does filename completion via the <Tab> key now gives you something like:
:e /etc/mo^I
when you try to open up /etc/motd with a little less typing
So, there are at least five solutions to this:
- Use <Ctrl>-E instead of <Tab>
- Use the "-N" flag when you start Vim
- :set wildchar=<Tab> (Enter those 5 characters, not an actual Tab)
- Use pfexec vim filename
- In Solaris 11.1 or later, use pfedit filename
The reason for this? It seems that when you are root, Vim sets it's "compatible" flag, which makes it behave more like its ancestor vi. In turn this makes Vim set 'wildchar' to <Ctrl>-E.
For more info, read the section you get when you enter :help cmdline-completion
Thanks to Darren for the tip on pfexec

Ice fishing has begun for those who like to push the limits - with reports of a few people fishing thin, unsafe ice (less than 4 inches thick) at Antero Reservoir. Most of the reservoir is open water, as is the case with other South Park waters, but that will change over the next couple of weeks. All have some skim ice around inlets and other shallow areas. If you decide to check things out, use extreme caution venturing out onto the ice, as conditions are generally unsafe at this time.
However, the Dream Stream is a good winter option, especially on warm days, near freezing, when the sun is shining and the winds are down. At those times, anglers will find fishing downright tolerable. The kokanee run is over, for the most part. A few residual fish remain, but most of the action will be with the resident fish. Right now, flows are up, spreading the fish out. While small fare is always productive in the winter, streamers are a good bet during high flows.
The Blue River above Dillon has reports of kokanee present in good numbers. Remember that this is fly-and-lure-only water; snagging is not permitted. While most lean toward using bright, colored flies for kokanee, standard nymphs, especially on the larger side, often produce well. Midge patterns are a good choice for trout.
Below Dillon Reservoir, the Blue River is a great winter option, especially during the week when fishing pressure is down. While small tippets coupled with mysis shrimp patterns or midges are the typical fare, don't hesitate to give larger fare and small streamers a try now and then. Trying something "different" is often a good tactic.
Don't overlook fishing on Green Mountain Reservoir at this time. With the drop in water temperatures, look for lake trout to move to shallow water, especially near rocky shorelines. Minnow-style baits, large spoons and tube jigs are all decent choices.
- Dave Coulson is the Colorado state editor for FishExplorer.com. He contributes a weekly fishing report to the Summit Daily News. For more local and regional fishing info, visit www.fishexplorer.com.

"Man, I can't even...I'm so overwhelmed right now."
That was about the only thing South Aiken's Justin Day could muster immediately following signing his national letter of intent.
For most, it really was a moment that couldn't be put into words. It's the raw emotion of knowing your life and your football career is really just getting started.
"It's been a dream since middle school growing up watching college football," Augusta Christian's Tyler Roberson said. "It's great. It's a great blessing."
The dreams started becoming real bright and early at Thomson, where four players signed Division One offers.
Three Bulldogs, Chris Jordan, William Bussey and Bernard Dawson are on their way to Georgia Southern...set to be teammates once again.
Bussey said, "For me to go play with my teammates that I played with for four years and probably more than that in rec, it feels great to know that you have somebody down there that you can trust."
The fourth Dawg, Jordan Davis, trades gold for red, hitting the road to athens to accomplish a longtime goal.
"Coming up through high school, it's what I wanted, and it's amazing because I get to live that dream," Davis said.
The CSRA sees two other stars join Mark Richt's team, but both took very different paths.
Swainsboro's Rico Johnson committed to the G last summer.
Aquinas' Brendan Douglas did it just last week, decommitting from Georgia Tech in the process.
He said, "Georgia Tech was a great school, but I think ultimately I would just be happier at Georgia."
They won't be the only three going to the SEC. While South Aiken teammates DeAndre Cchoultz and Terell Johnson inked to The Citadel and Newberry, Justin Day takes the SEC road less traveled, joining brand new Coach Mark Stoops at Kentucky.
"He loved me," Day said about Stoops. "He was like, 'I want you, and there's no turning back,' and I got on board with him."
Other signings dotted the morning and afternoon.
New state champ Tyler Roberson went with his first offer at Chattanooga, Josey's Quantavious Cheatham and Albert Greenwood went with Fort Valley State, and North Augusta's Parker Collins picked Appalachian State where he'll face plenty of former teammates in the Southern Conference.
"We're friends outside of there," Collins said. "But when we get on the field it's different."
Parker's teammates Trey Morgan and Devin Grimes took Western Carolina and Benedict.
At Laney, it was a trio of Wildcats being celebrated. Jeremy Smith and Dayquan Miller chose Alabama A&M, while George Myers is going to Grambling.
It only took a moment to sign, but for these kids, today was about a lot more than a piece of paper.

For Students and Families: Introduction
Why Transfer?
Maybe you are attending a community college and want to transfer to earn a bachelor's degree. Maybe you are a student at a state university or University of Massachusetts campus and want to transfer to pursue a degree in another field. Maybe you recently moved and need to find a college nearby.
Whatever the reason for your transfer, completing your degree is important. Research proves that college degrees lead to higher salaries, greater job security, and better health for your future.
How to Transfer
The transfer process can be a little confusing, but your advisor and transfer counselor can help. Students interested in transfer should begin planning as soon as possible.
If you are transferring from one Massachusetts public higher education institution to another, the new MassTransfer policy will make the process easier.

Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI)
This article studies variation in conflict theater choice by Western jihadists in an effort to understand their motivations. Some militants attack at home, whereas others join insurgencies abroad, but few scholars have asked why they make these different choices. Using open-source data, I estimate recruit supply for each theater, foreign fighter return rates, and returnee impact on domestic terrorist activity. The tentative data indicate that jihadists prefer foreign fighting, but a minority attacks at home after being radicalized, most often through foreign fighting or contact with a veteran. Most foreign fighters do not return for domestic operations, but those who do return are more effective operatives than nonveterans. The findings have implications for our understanding of the motivations of jihadists, for assessments of the terrorist threat posed by foreign fighters, and for counterterrorism policy.
Thomas Hegghammer is Senior Research Fellow, Norwegian Defence Research Establishment (FFI), P.O. Box 25, 2027 Kjeller, Norway (email@example.com).
I thank Scott Gates, the APSR editors, and the anonymous reviewers for very useful comments on early drafts of the article. I also received helpful comments and advice from Kristin Bakke, Jeff Colgan, Lynn Eden, Karen Greenberg, David Laitin, Brynjar Lia, Yassin Musharbash, Vipin Narang, Petter Nesser, and Truls Tønnessen. I presented early versions of the article at University College London, the University of Aberdeen, and Stanford University; I thank all the participants in these seminars for helping improve the article. I am grateful to Stanford University's Center for International Security and Cooperation for the Zuckerman Fellowship that allowed me to complete the article.

Okay, I Hate to Admit It: I Kinda Miss School
By Guest Blogger Charmaine Ng I UNIVERSITY OF OREGON:Ambitious and talented, honest and human, this tri-lingual social media strategist and curator is also a published author. Harbors a secret desire to one day have a multi-hyphenated title.
It's true. School oftentimes feels more like home than my actual home does.
Here are the top 10 things I miss most about college life:
1. My friends! Ironically, I don't get to see them that often because I'm so busy, but I love them to death anyway. I miss all those nights staying up playing NBA 2K11 and going out for dinner wherever we could (there aren't many options in Eugene).
2. The 30-minute transit. I don't have a car, but luckily, everywhere I want to go in Eugene is only a bus ride away. And public transit is usually punctual. Downside: no arrival time tracker.
3. Qdoba. Although #1 implies that I dislike my limited dining options in Eugene, the scarcity of good eats makes it so much easier for me to make up my mind than when I'm in San Francisco. I usually end up at this popular Mexican chain. Their Craft 2 menu gives me the perfect portion sizes of quesadillas and three-cheese nachos.
4. Allen Hall. The journalism school is being renovated for the next year, and I already miss its cramped lecture hall, open computer labs, and free printing.
5. My apartment. There's nothing like having your own space to make frozen dinners and watch movies until 5AM.
6. Nature. In Eugene, the air just feels different, and campus holds more than 500 kinds of trees. I'm not an outdoorsy person by any means, but it's a nice change of scenery every now and then.
7. Free or affordable events. Something is always happening on campus, whether it's a scholarly talk, local band concert, or culture night. Since I know many people in the student unions, I go and support their shows, and they always serve food. Score!
8. Sports games. My parents didn't raise me on sports, but Oregon is a huge sports school, so whether I like it or not, I get sucked in. Besides, you just can't beat that collective spirit during football season. (Go Ducks!)
9. No sales tax! The other day, I went to Walgreen's and paid three extra bucks in taxes. You don't realize what a bite sales tax takes out of your wallet unless you've lived in a state where you don't pay any.
10. My boyfriend. (Cue the "aww's.") He flew back home to Maui shortly after our one-year anniversary, and we barely talk since he's three hours behind. On the plus side, I'll see him in September when I fly to Hawaii for the first time!
I could go on and on, but then I'd really miss Oregon.

Skrillex (né Sonny Moore) was the guest of honor at a private birthday party in Hollywood Tuesday night, when a close encounter with some birthday candles nearly left the dubstepper bereft of his signature tatty coiffure.
As Skrillex bent over to give the candles a good blow, fire suddenly took hold of a few greasy strands hung perilously over the flames.
Thankfully, no substantial damage was done to his 'do, and he was soon back to confusing old people with what passes for music these days.

The St. James Area Chamber of Commerce board received and accepted the resignation of Chamber Executive Director Tabitha Johnson as of April 9, 2013.
Johnson will continue to serve as Executive Director until April 25, 2013. At that time hours will fluctuate depending on the availability of Jennie Geiger-Firchau.
Johnson said though she enjoyed working as the chamber director during the last year, the position is not a good fit at this time.
"There is probably someone better suited for the position than myself at this time," said Johnson. "I'm going to see where the road takes me."
Johnson has inducted several new businesses to the chamber gang and also provided the city of St. James with a new annual celebration – The Chillabration. The Chillabration raised about $5,000 for the area and provided some fun events for the winter including the polar plunge and ice fishing contest.
Also returning during Johnson's time as director was the holiday festival and Holidazzle parade.
Johnson is looking forward to spending some time with her children and is unsure of where she will go moving forward from this position. There was some talk about returning to her business Fabtabulous LLC.
"Fabtabulous LLC was started back in 2007 in the cities, highly successful even during the turn of the economy, and that's what I was doing before the chamber," said Johnson. "I will consider maybe revisiting that after I leave here."
Fabtabulous is a business that focuses on event coordinating, training, social media, graphic design, professional organizing as well as e-news letters, book keeping or special projects.
According to a press release by the Chamber Board President Ellie Kulseth, a search for a new Chamber Executive Director will be underway very soon.

I wouldn't call that perfect, but this had made me nervous because we've had this awful habit, of playing down to our competition, and it would have been horrible to be the 1st win on Sunderland's CV this year..
We still have trouble with teams pressing us high when we want to play out of the back, but, with Kolo playing RCB and Sakho really getting baptised by fire, you'd imagine that will improve, and Skrtel marshalled everything in the middle like a general. Loved his foray forward before getting fouled.. looked like Messi
A bit loose in our passing at times, still need more creativity from the wide areas, but we made the keeper work, Brendan didn't have us sit back, and we showed adventure, purpose and intent going forward almost the entire 2nd half. What's more exciting is the prospect of when Coutinho comes back, Alberto gets more involved, and Aspas gets stronger.. And of course Glen or Kelly getting in at RB. Well Done.

Hello Jason
Happy with the results but the manner in which we're going about things makes me nervous. Too many times this season we've allowed the opposition to have too much of the game. So far we've got away with it but it wont last especially when everyone realises that if they play a very high line against us they can squeeze us back and we'll just sit there and try to soak it up.
There are things that need to be sorted in the back 6 (as I call them) that's the back 4 and the two sitting in front of them.

Hi Colyn/Jason, I keep seeing people talking about a back 4 but in the last 2 games now, we have played a 3-5-2 with Toure-Skrtel-Sakho making up the back 3 and Henderson and Enrique playing as wingbacks. I certainly don't think we found ourselves pushed back against United but we were definitely soaking up some scary looking pressure at Sunderland. I am hoping Allen will be fit to replace the banned Lucas against Palace and agree his mobility might actually improve us, especially in a home game against, with all due respect, a weaker team.
The Gerrard/Lucas pairing doesnt look one to dominate games, they can be fluid at times but when under the cosh they go a bit direct, of course Gerrard spraying balls around looks fantastic and can get you a goal in an instant as it did against Sunderland. By the looks of things we might not need to talk about someone doing the Xabi role come January, the man himself is looking quite likely for a return, which would be awesome. Yes he is older but he was always slow in the first place, of course he has a good passing range but it is the quality of his short passing and constant availability for a pass that could take us a couple of steps forward.
I don't want to be wishing or waiting on January but there is certainly something missing in the centre. Look at us, finding problems when we are sat in 2nd place :)
Hey Colyn,
Long time mate, hope you've been well! I agree, which is why it was far from perfect, and if not for that Reina-esque fast break distribution by Mignolet for goal #3, who knows if we didn't concede a leveler.
While we'll see another winnable fixture on paper, my mantra is, there is no easy match whatsoever, especially for a Liverpool fan, so I think we can learn some new things this coming weekend about our back 6 vs Crystal Palace. Perhaps we'll have Kelly available to play RB, or Wisdom plays his way into the plans, and we play a flat back 4.
We've also lost Lucas to yellows, so we'll likely (you'd think) see Gerrard/Jordan sitting in the middle, which will allow Sterling/Aspas/Ibe to get a start out wide right, which would really create some balance, and speed/creativity throughout the entire front 3rd, and reduce the high pressing..

This is for all those who are under the height of 6'0 im 16 about to be 17 july 4 im between 5'9 nd 5'10 nd my first time dunking a basketball wuz my freshman year of high school i wuz almost 5'9 at the time im a junior now nd have been dunking fluently for about a year now so yes there is hope for you guys but lik the article says its more about timing nd technique then it is about how high you jump or how much rim you can grab but some athleticism is a must. one thing that helped me with technique was dunking on a portable rim thats a little lower then 10', but Just like any other basketball move or technique practice makes perfect.
you're only 14 keep jumping nd trying and it'll come you're most likely gona grow more to so don't worry to much about it now.
ima try it and we will see if i can do it by my junior year
the last sentence is SO TRUE!
i broke my arm last summer because I slipped big time
almost landed on my head, LMAO
Im 6ft and im 15,this is my summer and im gonna try out for the basketball team as a freshmen and im pretty close to dunking all i need is max 4more inches of jump to jam the ball inside the rim anyone have any advices?
if you can just touch the rim then that means you need to work harder in the weight room thats what i did and my fourarms get to the rim
Pay special attention to that last sentence on the first page of this article. I have broken my elbow by slipping off the rim when jumping up for a dunk.
I'm fairly tall (6'2) compared to lots of people I play against. But my best mate is about 6'9, so compared to him I've got nothing. He can already jam, and is just a tad smug about it. It would be great to be able to rock up to school one day and stuff it. The look on his face would be priceless.
im 16. i cant dunk yet but dunking isnt the most important thing about the game. if you can dunk then you might have good hops. im 6'5 and i still cant dunk. but im still a pretty good player. LOMPOC HIGH SCHOOL ALL DAY
Im 13, 6'5 and 177 lbs. I could for sure dunk this way jumping off my left leg if I didnt have osgood schlatters in my left knee(right handed). Any sujestions?
i am fourteen and i started dunking two months ago it is reely easy to do all you have to do is do jump work out 5 hours a day taking brakes ofcourse intense work out but it pays off i am recently trying to do a reverse dunk or a 360i am 5"9'
i am 13 years old, and i am 5 feet 9 inches, i could grab a ten foot rim easily. i can dunk small objects such as bottles,tennis balls and baseballs. Every time i try to dunk a full size basketball, the ball goes in the air and comes back down. I believe this happens because my hands aren't big enough for the basketball. Any Suggestion?
I'm 15, 5'5. I am about 2 or 3 inches away from rim. All I do is nothing but I did run a lot before and when I ran track did hurdles so I was jumpin the whole time. All I suggest is work on legs.
I started dunking when I was 13 and I was 5'8
i can never eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr stop dunking ever

ANTIOCH -- Police say they're sending extra patrols during the "release hour" after a suspicious man tried to convince a 10-year-old boy to get in his car Thursday afternoon near Sutter Elementary School.
The fifth-grader was walking through a parking lot to meet his grandfather when a man in a '70s-era light blue car tried to talking him into getting in, according to Antioch police Sgt. Trevor Schnitzius. The man told the boy his aunt had sent him to pick the child up.
The man "made no effort to grab the child," Schnitzius said.
The boy told the man "I don't know you" and walked away, according to a message sent by Sutter Principal Paula McEvoy.
McEvoy said Friday that teachers at the school were re-emphasizing lessons in "stranger danger" to students. Children should be taught not to talk to strangers, to walk away if someone says a family member sent them and the child doesn't know who they are, and to be aware of surroundings.
The man was last seen near Chichibu Park, which is adjacent to the school on G Street. There have been no other recent reports of anyone trying to coax a child into their car, Schnitzius said.

Silver alert issued for Hendersonville woman
Published: Friday, January 10, 2014 at 2:48 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, January 10, 2014 at 2:48 p.m.
The N.C. Center for Missing Persons has issued a Silver Alert for Carol Lynn Petersen, 22, of Hendersonville, who is believed to be suffering from dementia or some other cognitive impairment.
Maj. Frank Stout with the Henderson County Sheriff's Office said she was last seen with her boyfriend, Brian Keith Medley, about three days ago at 3 Westbridge Drive.
"From a law enforcement perspective, we need to make sure she's OK physically and emotionally, but to do that we need to be able to locate her," Stout said. "We have not been able to do that, so we're reaching out to the public."
Stout said Medley is believed to be driving an older two-wheel-drive blue Toyota pickup truck.
Petersen is 5 feet 2 inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. She has medium brown hair and brown eyes.
Anyone with information about Petersen is asked to contact Detective Duncan at the Henderson County Sheriff's Office at 828-697-4911.

Four Takeaways From January Jobs Report
The economy added 157,000 jobs in January and the unemployment rate ticked up to 7.9%. Economists are still digesting today's numbers, but here are four initial takeaways:
Slow and steady: Job growth slowed in January, but at a bit better than 150,000 new jobs, the overall pace of growth stayed relatively steady. The private sector drove the growth, as it has for most of the past two-plus years, adding 166,000 jobs while the government cut payrolls 9,000. The recent pace of growth hasn't been enough to make a dent in the unemployment rate, which rose slightly and has been more or less stuck since the end of the summer.
Huge revisions: The real news in today's report may not be in January's figures but in December and November's, which were revised upward by a combined 127,000 jobs. November's jobs growth now registers a fairly impressive 247,000 net gain in jobs (256,000 in the private sector), and employers added 196,000 jobs in December despite fears of the Fiscal Cliff. The significance of the revisions goes beyond their sheer size: The Labor Department's initial estimates often lag behind shifts in the job market, showing too little growth when hiring is speeding up and too much when it is slowing down. So today's revisions could be a sign that the labor market is gaining steam.
Pace of growth looks better: For most of last year, it looked like the economy was adding around 150,000 jobs per month. Turns out, job growth actually averaged a more robust 181,000 jobs per month for the year. The revised figure reflects not just the November and December revisions but also the government's annual "benchmark" revisions, which added 422,000 jobs in the year that ended last March. With the revisions, 2012 now stands as the best year of the recovery in terms of job growth, ever so slightly better than 2011, when the economy added an average of 175,000 jobs per month.
Consumer sector shows strength: Retailers added 33,000 jobs in January, and restaurants added 17,000 jobs. The improving housing market may also finally be showing up in construction employment, which rose by 28,000 jobs and is up by 82,000 in the past three months. But manufacturing employment was essentially flat, and factories cut back on workers' hours.

Green Office Offsets™
Green Office Offsets™ allow customers of TheGreenOffice.com to go carbon neutral through investment in a portfolio of emission reduction and renewable energy credits. Emission reduction credits offset your non-electricity related emissions while renewable energy credits avoid emissions related to the use of power from your local utility. The real-world projects that compose our Offsets are supplied by ClimateCare and the Bonneville Environmental Foundation, wholesalers of the highest quality credits in their respective fields.
Quick Links
Green Office Offsets™ offer numerous verified benefits not only with regard to climate change mitigation, but also for local communities and ecosystems. Overall, our Offsets:
- Allow organizations to make an unassailable claim of carbon neutrality based on investments in third-party certified emission reduction credits that meet the highest standards for additionality and renewable energy credits from socially and ecologically friendly projects
- Represent projects supplied by organizations with certification from the UNFCCC Clean Development Mechanism (CDM), the CDM Gold Standard, and the Green-e Climate Certification Program
- Neutralize your unique carbon footprint based on our state-of-the-art Office Footprint Calculator™
- Support the growth of domestic and international clean, renewable energy projects as well as international energy efficiency projects
- Contribute to sustainable community development through support of projects that create jobs, transfer technological know-how, honor local cultures, mitigate air and water pollution, protect wildlife habitat, and provide case studies for future initiatives
Product Content
Green Office Offsets™ are composed of a mix of carbon offsets supplied by ClimateCare and renewable energy credits supplied by the Bonneville Environmental Foundation (BEF). ClimateCare Carbon Offsets represent the reduction of one metric ton of carbon dioxide. BEF renewable energy credits represent 1,000 kWh of clean, renewable energy. Once you have measured your carbon liability using the Office Footprint Calculator™, we formulate a Green Office Offset™ with the exact mix of ClimateCare Carbon Offsets and BEF renewable energy credits needed to neutralize your non-electricity and electricity related carbon emissions respectively.
Emission Reduction Credits
Source: ClimateCare, a supplier of Clean Development Mechanism & Gold Standard Carbon Offsets
Neutralizing emissions from activities such as transportation, waste, and procurement require the purchase of credits that meet standards established under the Kyoto Protocol. This ensures your investment goes to projects that are additional to those that would otherwise occur.
Renewable Energy Credits
Source: Bonneville Environmental Foundation, a supplier of Green-e Climate Certified renewable energy credits
When coupled with the purchase of conventional electricity, renewable energy credits effectively make your energy use emission-free. Technically speaking, instead of offsetting electricity related emissions, you simply avoid them with the use of green energy.
Communicating Carbon Neutrality
Green Office Offsets™ come with a series of materials designed to help you spread the word about your commitment to carbon neutrality, including: (1) a Certificate of Carbon Neutralization, (2) free publication of your Certificate in our online Carbon Neutralization Record (optional), and (3) a "Carbon Neutral" icon for online and print marketing.
1. Certificate of Carbon Neutralization
Your unique Certificate of Carbon Neutralization is delivered as a PDF, allowing your organization to publish it online or print it for display in your storefront or workplace. Each Certificate issued by TheGreenOffice.com has a unique serial number and documents the name of your organization, the number of Green Office Offsets™ purchased, the total tons neutralized, the mix of non-electricity versus electricity related emissions neutralized, and the period for which you will claim carbon neutralization for the specified tons.
2. Publication in TheGreenOffice.com Carbon Neutralization Record
To instill public confidence in your claim of carbon neutrality, TheGreenOffice.com provides the option to publish the details of your Certification of Carbon Neutralization in our online Carbon Neutralization Record. We provide a secure link that can be used from your own content or from our Carbon Neutral icon (see below) to your unique page in our record, which appears as a small window above your own site, ensuring no lost traffic.
3. "Carbon Neutral" Icon
Communicating your carbon neutral status can also be achieved through use of TheGreenOffice.com's Carbon Neutral icon. You may choose to link the icon to a page within your website describing your commitment to emission reductions, to the PDF version of your Certificate of Carbon Neutralization, or to the Carbon Neutralization Record hosted by TheGreenOffice.com.
Period of Offsetting
The results of the Office Footprint Calculator™ represent your annual carbon emissions. Your Certificate of Carbon Neutralization will therefore authorize a claim of carbon neutrality good for one (1) year from the date of purchase. Though not as common, other possibilities exist, such as making a claim of carbon neutrality good for multiple years (for customers interested in volume price breaks) and making a claim good for the remainder of the current calendar year. If you would like to offset emissions for a period other than one year, please email or call us at 800.909.9750.
Pricing & Payment
TheGreenOffice.com adds value to your emission reduction effort through assistance in emissions calculation, the sourcing of top-quality emission reduction and renewable energy credits, verification of retirement, and the marketing of your carbon neutral initiative. Green Office Offsets™ can be purchased in units equal to 0.10 tons. The current retail price of one ton of Green Office Offsets™ is $25.00. This price is subject to change based on market fluctuations. Volume price breaks are available for larger organizations, generally those with 50+ employees, and/or those who wish to offset for two or more years. Payment can be made by credit card, check, or money order and is due at the time of purchase. If you are a larger organization and would like to arrange quarterly billing, please inquire by email or call 800.909.9750.
