The Boyceville baseball team is currently 16-2 on the year behind the pitching of 2011 All-State Academic selection and First-Team All Conference selection Ryan Bloom but as Jenn Chapman finds out in our Gordy's Athlete of the Week segment, his success is in part to the bond shared between his fellow senior class.
Coach Tim Engel: "Everything he does on and off the field is all about having fun playing this game. He's usually the first one here and the last one to leave, and it's not just the glory stuff. He's raking the mound and helping clean up the field."
Boyceville pitcher Ryan Bloom has recorded over 500 career strikeouts and holds a 38-6 record. So when the senior steps on the mound, his teammates know what to expect.
Ben Marusak/Boyceville Infielder: "He's gonna keep us in the game and basically have to put the bat on the ball and field the groundballs."
Kyle Franseen/Boyceville Infielder: "We get 1 or 2 runs a game and I'm confident that we're gonna win the game. We get up and he just shuts it down, he's a great player."
Luke Hellmann/Boyceville Catcher: "He keeps me busy back there, blocking balls constantly. He's always hitting his spots and it's really fun back there."
Shawn Goodell/Boyceville Outfielder: "But you know for outfielders like me, it's been pretty boring standing out there for 7 innings with nothing much happening."
The mutual trust between the 6 seniors was built years ago and has fueled a Boyceville program that has recorded over 60 wins during their 4 years in high school.
Joshua Andrews/Boyceville Infielder: "We've all grown up together and we know our strengths and weaknesses and ever since 3rd grade Ryan's been coming here and we've been pretty successful as a team."
Ryan Bloom/Boyceville Pitcher: "It's the best, it's nice knowing that you have the same group of guys during your whole life to share everything. All the ups and downs throughout the whole years of going through high school with those guys is special."
And even with the hype Ryan generates, it is a team first mentality that has even captured the youth in the community.
Coach Tim Engel: "And nobody's worried about who gets the headlines on the press or Ryan's 500 strikeouts because they know if it wasn't for the play they made, or the plays that they made during that game, 500 strikeouts don't mean anything if we don't win."
Ryan will play for Winona State next year, but he isn't looking ahead quite yet.
"I'm really focused on what's at hand right now, and I really want to keep winning here so I can be with my guys for one last time."
For Athlete of the Week, Jenn Chapman, SportScene13

This article is part of a special issue on Preferred Providers.
Emerging markets are an important source of strategic growth for pharmaceutical companies. As companies expand, they must consider not only how to position themselves in specific product markets, but also how they should align their sourcing, procurement, purchasing, and related supply-management groups. Recent activity from the pharmaceutical majors shows the greater importance and their positioning in emerging markets. Also, a pharmaceutical benchmarking analysis reveals the growing role of supply-management organizations in emerging markets, and another survey shows the rising role of China and India in overall economic innovation.
Market potential
Other market estimates are equally bullish. The overall market for therapeutic drugs in emerging markets in 2009 was $131.4 billion and $145.8 billion in 2010, according to a January 2011 analysis by the market research firm BCC Research. The countries and regions included in this analysis are Latin America, China, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, South Korea, India, Russia, and South Africa. These markets are expected to collectively increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8% between 2010 and 2015 to reach $214.2 billion. The Eastern European market was estimated at $32.2 billion in 2010, an increase of 13.4% from 2009. CAGR of 13.4% is estimated through 2015, when the market is expected to reach $55 billion. Russia's pharmaceutical market was estimated at $6.5 billion in 2009 and $7.4 billion in 2010. CAGR of 7.1% is estimated through 2015, when the market is expected to reach $10.5 billion.
Pharmaceutical company positioning
Lured by the potential and the need to strengthen their positions in emerging markets, the pharmaceutical majors are investing in development and manufacturing in emerging markets through several strategies. In some instance, they are making greenfield investments, and in other instances, they are partnering with domestically domiciled firms to access local markets, particularly for established products. A review of recent activity reflects those trends.
For example, in November 2010, Novartis signed a memorandum of understanding with the city of St. Petersburg, Russia, confirming its intent to build a new full-scale pharmaceutical manufacturing plant there. The investment is part of an overall $500-million commitment in local infrastructure and collaborative healthcare initiatives in Russia planned by Novartis for a five-year period. Once completed and approved for commercial production, the facility will produce both branded generic drugs and pharmaceuticals. Construction is scheduled to start in 2011, and the plant is expected to produce approximately 1.5 billion units per year.
In parallel with establishing a manufacturing facility in Russia, Novartis said it plans to continue to expand its investment in research and development (R&D) and public healthcare collaborations with the Russian government. These activities include collaborations with universities and emerging Russian private businesses in various areas of medical science. These collaborations may include out-licensing of Novartis compounds to Russian companies, in-licensing and scouting for promising drug candidates from Russian scientists and universities, and modeling and simulation activities for clinical trials. Additionally, Novartis plans to double its investments in drug development in clinical trials in Russia and expects to enroll approximately 4000 individuals by 2013.
Novartis also is positioning innovator drug products in emerging markets. In September 2010, Novartis announced that the Russian health authority, the Federal Service on Surveillance in Healthcare and Social Development, granted approval for the company's Gilenya (fingolimod) 0.5 mg once-daily oral therapy for the treatment of relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis. Russia was the first country to approve Gilenya. Novartis expects to launch Gilenya in Russia in early 2011. In September, Novartis reported that Rasilez (aliskiren), a renin inhibitor, received regulatory approval in China for the treatment of high blood pressure alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medicines. Rasilez/Tekturna is approved in over 80 countries and was approved in the United States in March 2007, in the European Union in August 2007 under the trade name Rasilez, and in July 2009 in Japan.
Novartis has stated its interest in expanding in emerging markets. In a November 12, 2010, press statement, the company said it "plans to strengthen its commercial position in fast-growing emerging markets and develop significant businesses in China, Russia, Brazil, and India." As part of that strategy, Novartis announced several investments in those markets during the past several years. The company is investing $500 million in a new vaccine-manufacturing facility in Goiana, Brazil, which is scheduled to be operational by the end of 2014. The company opened a new technical R&D and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) manufacturing facility in Changshu, China to support the production of Tekturan/Rasilez, which included a $56-million investment in 2009 as part of a $265-million investment in that facility. In November 2009, Novartis announced it is investing $1 billion during the next five years to expand its research center in Shanghai, making it the company's third-largest research institute in the world. The company also acquired an 85% stake in the Chinese vaccine company Zhejiang Tianyuan Bio-Pharmaceutical (1).

Hi all - I'm hoping someone can help me with this problem. I've searched for solutions here and elsewhere but found nothing so far.
I have a NAS/media server box which has two network interfaces, wifi and a physical lan. The wifi link is to a router, the internet, and other computers on the local network. The physical lan is a gigabit connection running directly to my PS3.
If I fire up PS3MediaServer and select eth0 (i.e. the physical link to the PS3) manually from the "force networking interface" drop down, the server works perfectly - the PS3 finds it and happily streams media from it. Brilliant!
However, there's a problem. Even if I save that configuration (i.e. forcing it to use eth0), if I turn on the server when the PS3 is off, PS3 Media Server "forgets" about eth0 - I suppose because there's no active wired network link - and instead starts broadcasting on wlan0. This wouldn't be a problem if it "remembered" about eth0 when the wired connection becomes active (i.e. when the PS3 gets turned on) - but it doesn't. Even when I turn on the PS3, it stays on wlan0 in this scenario and eth0 doesn't even appear in the drop down box for "force networking interface". The only way to get eth0 to appear is to kill the PS3 Media Server process and start it again.
If you start the PS3 first, then turn on the server, it happily finds eth0 and selects it as the output interface.
Unfortunately this basically breaks the usefulness of PS3 Media Server for me at the moment - wlan0 is always going to be active, and eth0 is only sometimes going to be active. This means the media server is going to constantly "forget" about the PS3 and broadcast on wlan0.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? It seems to be a bug.
Basically the possible solutions would seem to involve one of the following:
- somehow force PS3 Media Server to remember eth0 even when there's no active link
- somehow force PS3 Media Server to find and switch to eth0 when it becomes active (this would be ideal, in fact)
- somehow force Linux to keep eth0 as an available network interface even when inactive
- get PS3 Media Server to broadcast to multiple interfaces (is this possible?)
I am running Ubuntu 11.10 on an HP microserver.

|Illustration by Caty Bartholomew
I was at a good wedding last week. It began in a small country chapel, and the celebrant was splendidly merry and friendly while at the same time properly marking the sacramental solemnity of the occasion.
When the bride was making her entrance, for example, he said, "Is she not looking just gorgeous? Let's give her a round of applause." That set the tone for the service and for the day that followed too.
We may be in a recession, but there was no sign of that on this day. The reception was in an excellent hotel.
It began with champagne for all and one of those chocolate and marshmallow fountains so beloved by the ladies. There was a luscious strawberry at the bottom of every champagne glass too.
The dining tables were kept flowing with wine throughout the meal, good cigars were distributed, there was more champagne for the toasts at the end, the food was brilliant and featured spring lamb and sea bass.
Then a splendid band began playing the music that lasted without a break until the early hours of the next morning, the floor still crammed with dancers. Two well-stocked bars were kept busy throughout.
The families and friends of the bride and groom, from all over the country and beyond, mixed and mingled well from the beginning. It was altogether a wedding in the best tradition of rousingly enjoyable
Irish weddings, and it was a pleasure to be there.
And it was during an evening conversation with another silvered veteran of many weddings that it was pointed out to me how the wedding ritual in modern Ireland has been immensely improved by the omission of one element which was an essential part of the wedding days of the past.
There is no Going Away any more!
Many of you will remember the tragi-comic going aways of the new husband and wife up until about 20 years ago. My friend said, "It happened to you (and indeed it did) and it happened to me, and Lord it was awful." And upon reflection it surely was.
Think about it. The happy couple and/or their families (or both) spent every available shilling on putting on a great day for all they knew and loved and to mark the celebration of their marriage, the biggest day of their lives.
They worked for months to ensure that everything was organized down to the last detail. It invariably went like clockwork 99 percent of the time.
There came a time in the evening when everybody was chatting and drinking and singing and dancing, when the craic was at its peak.
And at precisely that point, having been absent from the scene for maybe 45 minutes, the bride and groom sheepishly enough appeared again to show that they were Going Away.
She had shed her lovely wedding dress and was invariably wearing an outfit that did not flatter her at all, and revealed that with her hair down she was looking plain exhausted.
He was out of his Sunday suit and clad in a new sports jacket and slacks. He also looked exhausted.
But the ritual had to be observed. The poor bride had been equipped with a much smaller bouquet than she had borne in the chapel or, worse still, about a third of that bouquet which had clearly been gutted for the ritual.
Amidst ribald cheers, the unmarried girls at the wedding were harried and hunted into the area in front of the poor bride, who then turned her back and flung the bouquet into the melee that developed in front of her.
Invariably you saw the disappointment on her face because the best friend she had aimed the flowers at never managed to catch it. It was supposed at the time that the lady who caught it would be the next bride to go to the altar.
Then, again with much fuss and ado, the couple were grabbed up body and bones and thrown up in the air a few times before being hurled out into the night and actually Going Away.

Holiday Overview
Holiday Overview
- Climb Pico de Orizaba (5636m), the highest summit in Mexico
- Views of Popocatepetl from Iztaccihuatl
- Experience Aztec and Spanish colonial history
- The charming colonial old towns of Taxco and Puebla
High above its tropical forests, Aztec ruins and Spanish colonial architecture, there is a side to Mexico that few people get to see - amongst the ice and snow of its volcanoes. As an acclimatisation exercise, we start out with an ascent of Volcan Ajusco (3930m) overlooking Mexico City. We then climb the Nevado Toluca (4691m), Mexico's 4th highest peak, which provides a magnificent climb along a crater ridge. Our next objective is Mexico's 3rd highest peak, the hard to pronounce Iztaccihuatl, a dormant volcano situated right beside the active Popocatepetl. We climb the 5th highest, Malinche (4462m), a relatively easy peak with a scrmbling ridge at the top, before tackling Mexico's highest volcano, Pico de Orizaba (5746m). After climbing the 30-degree snow slope of the Glaciar de Jamapa and tracing a route around the crater rim, our reward is a summit with splendid views across to the Gulf of Mexico. Between the climbs we have plenty of time for rest and exploration of Mexico's cultural treasures including the incredible Aztec pyramids at Xochicalco and attractive colonial cities such as Taxco and Puebla. Climbing four of the five highest peaks in Mexico including the third highest in North America, this is a brilliant adventure and the opportunity to see another side of Mexico.
Explore International. This is one of our Explore International holidays. Participants on these trips can book through KE or through one of our international partners. This helps us to gather together sufficient numbers of like-minded adventurers to get your holiday up and running quickly. Led by an English-speaking guide, the cosmopolitan nature of these groups can be an important part of the experience!
Is this holiday for you?
During this climbing holiday we will make ascents of four of Mexico's highest volcanoes at elevations close to or above 5000 metres. We have an excellent programme of acclimatisation leading up to the ascent of Mexico's highest peak, Orizaba (5636m). These ascents involve a mix of terrain from rugged scree slope or loose volcanic material to moderately angled snow slopes (30 - 40 degrees), requiring the use of crampons and ice axe. There are also long days required on each of the main objectives. You should only attempt these climbs if you have previous winter or alpine walking experience using crampons and are familiar with the techniques of self arrest with an ice axe. It should be noted that trekking or climbing at even moderately high altitudes makes extra demands and you should have a good level of fitness before embarking on this holiday.

Guided sightseeing tour of Mexico City.
Our first day in this fascinating country takes us on an all day city tour. Mexico City is at an altitude of around 2250m, helping us with our acclimatisation. During the morning tour we visit the 'District El Centro' which is home to the largest cathedral in the Americas - The Metropolitan Cathedral. We then go to the Palacio Nacional, a grandiose colonial palace with its famous murals by Diego Rivera depicting the history of the Spanish Conquistador, Hernan Cortes, who caused the fall of the Aztec Empire to the revolution in 1910. This is also home to the offices of the president and the treasury. We stroll through the colourful indoor food market of Mercado San Juan. In the afternoon we drive to the massive archways of the Revolution Monument, and visit then the National Museum of Anthropology which houses artefacts from Mexico's pre-Columbian heritage.

We then continue our transfer north to the ancient city of Teotihuacan. This belittling 'City of the Gods' was the largest Pre-Columbian city in the America's, with a population of 150,000. Built around 300-150 BC, with the enormous Pyramid of the Sun (one of the largest pyramids in the world), the various temples and vast Avenue of the Dead, it is a spectacular place. After our dip into the culture of this fascinating region we head westwards and in just under 3hrs we arrive at our overnight accommodation, the mountain hut on Nevado Toluca (3800m). We cook dining here at the simple mountain hut before having a briefing about our walk the next day and getting into our sleeping bags early.

Mexican cuisine is enormously varied and deservedly famous. In Mexico City every type of international food is available. Although Mexico has a reputation for very spicy food and indeed these options will be there, not all Mexican cuisine is hot and there are many regional differences. The food in some of the establishments that we stay is very good and made with local ingredients and traditional dishes. When we are at mountains huts were we have brought our own provisions, the guides will prepare the meals with help from the group. The food here will be suitable for climbing days, but not elaborate or fancy!

Spending Money
We estimate that US$300 will be sufficient to cover your requirements including the above mentioned meals and incidental expenses such as tips for drivers, local guides and helpers. There is no need to purchase local currency (Pesos) prior to travelling. It is possible to withdraw your money in local currency from ATMs in Mexico City and all major towns and most restaurants in Mexico City will accept credit cards. If you are bringing your travel money with you we recommend you bring it in the form of US dollars in cash as this provides for the easiest exchange.
Guidance on Tipping
Tipping is the accepted way of saying 'Thank you' for a job well done. It is important to remember that tipping is voluntary and does not form any part of the wages of trek crews or guides. Most people will want to give a tip at the end of their trip and we would suggest that you do this as a group rather than individually.
Baggage Allowance
There is no baggage weight limit on this holiday other than that imposed by your international carrier. However, we ask you to restrict your luggage to one main bag (your KE Trekbag) and a day pack and generally we would advise travelling as light as possible. During the holiday your main bag will be transported by vehicle and while on the climbs this can be left at the hotel, or in the vehicle.
KE Trek Bag
All KE clients will receive a FREE KE trek bag. These have been specially made to stand up to the rigours of adventure travel. Your KE bag will be posted to you when your trip is guaranteed to run or on receipt of your booking if the trip is already guaranteed. If you have travelled with us before and already have a KE trek bag you can select an alternative free gift in the booking process.
This holiday involves going to very high altitude. During the course of your trip you will be spending at least one night close to 4000 metres and/or trekking to 5000 metres or above. This is not something that you should worry about; the human body is quite capable of adapting to a very wide range of altitudes, but it is important that we follow some simple rules in order to acclimatise successfully. Before coming on this holiday you should read the advice on trekking at high altitude on our website which can be viewed via the link below. Unless you have previous experience of trekking above 4000 metres you should consult one of our trekking experts before embarking on this holiday. On this trip we carry a portable altitude chamber (PAC-bag) and/or bottled oxygen for use in emergencies. www.keadventure.com/page/altitude.html

Group Size and Holiday Status
For each holiday there is a minimum number of participants required to enable it to go ahead. Once the minimum number is reached, the trip status will change from 'Available' to 'Guaranteed to run'. You can check the trip status for each departure in 'Dates and Prices' table. Other than in exceptional circumstances, we will not cancel a trip once it has achieved this guaranteed to run status and so you are free to proceed with your international flight booking and other travel arrangements.
Passport & Visas
A passport with 6 months remaining validity at the end of your stay is generally required. The information that we provide is for UK passport holders. Please check the relevant embassy or consulate for other nationalities. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have the correct travel documents and visas for your holiday. Visa requirements and charges are subject to change without notice. If you are travelling outside the EU you should have at least 2 blank pages in your passport for each country that you visit.
Visa Mexico
UK and USA passport holders do not require a visa for short stays.
Health & Vaccinations
You should contact your doctor or travel clinic to check whether you require any specific vaccinations or other preventive measures. You should be up to date with routine courses and boosters as recommended in the UK e.g. diphtheria-tetanus-polio and measles-mumps-rubella, along with hepatitis A and typhoid. Malarial prophylaxis is not usually required for trips in the mountains, however if you are visiting rural and remote low lying areas then they might be necessary. On holidays to more remote areas you should also have a dentist check up. A good online resource is Travel Health Pro.
Electricity Supply & Plug
We recommend you check if you require an adaptor for your electrical items at:
Preparing For Your Trip
It makes a lot of sense to spend some time before coming on a trekking or climbing trip getting some additional exercise. The fitter you are, after all, the more enjoyable you will find the experience. Our treks can be physically demanding, but more as a result of altitude and terrain than distances walked. We would suggest that you adopt a weekly exercise regime. Regular hiking or climbing is the best preparation but if this is not possible then regular exercise at your chosen sport is also useful. Jogging, biking and swimming are also good for developing aerobic fitness and better stamina. You should gradually increase your exercise leading up to departure, and in the month before setting off, we suggest that you try to fit in a number of long walks in hilly country. For this trip it is essential that you have some previous experience of walking on snow slopes in crampons and that you are familiar with the techniques of self-arrest using an ice axe.
Know before you go
As a reputable tour operator, KE supports the British Foreign & Commonwealth Offices 'Know before you go' campaign to enable British citizens to prepare for their journeys overseas, and we recommend that all KE travellers take a look at the FCO Travel Advice for their chosen destination on the official FCO website: www.fco.gov.uk. North Americans can also check out the U.S. Department of State website: www.travel.state.gov for essential travel advice and tips.
KE treat the safety and security of all clients as the most important aspect of any trip we organise. We would not run any trip that we did not consider reasonably safe. Should the FCO advise against travel for any reason, we will contact everyone booked to travel to discuss the situation. We receive regular updates direct from the FCO and are in constant touch with our contacts on the ground. If you have any questions about government travel advice, please call our office.
The climate of Mexico City and all areas of similar elevation and higher is dry and temperate compared with the coastal plains where its hot and humid. The wet season in Mexico falls between May to October and almost all of the country's rain falls in this period. In November/December, temperatures in Mexico city can be expected to range between daytime highs of 20 to 25ºC and night-time lows of 5 to 10°C. On the peaks, daytime temperatures will range from freezing levels to a pleasant 15°C in the sunshine. Night-time temperatures at our highest camps will fall below freezing. Although our trips coincide with the dry season, mountains do produce their own micro-climate and you must be prepared and equipped for all weathers.

1. CookOrDie: Meatball mishaps: 00:22
You live, you learn. =) The meatballs were edible, though, and properly cooked all the way through. They were just not as crunchy or juicy as I remembered. I cooked some spaghetti, threw six meatballs into the bowl, and tossed the spaghetti with tomato sauce. I then microwaved everything for a minute to get the sauce nice and hot. It was an acceptable dinner. And yes, Mom, I took my vitamins. =)
I scrimped on the ground beef because I also wanted to cook ground beef with garlic and onions for the pita pocket lunch I intend to have tomorrow. Let's see how that turns out.
2. Traditions: 00:33
I wanted a balintawak, too, but I couldn't find any inexpensive ones.
I guess it's the kind of thing that needs a seamstress. =) Maybe I'll
have one made when I go back. Or maybe I'll have several. White?
Black? Red? Printed?
I've also figured out how to wear a malong as a skirt. Along the way, I had an aha! moment. I finally understood the pleating instructions for the sari my mom bought me a long time ago, as I found myself pleating the malong and tucking it in the same way.
I still have no idea what else I can do with the malong. Sleeping bag? Check. Blanket? Check. Shawl? Check. But I know it can be worn as a decent-looking dress. I just have no idea how to do it without looking like I'm walking around wearing a blanket. Would anyone have step-by-step instructions for, say, the malong-malong dance?

Importance of Detecting Alzheimer's Disease
Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease
07.18.13 | By
Today Show contributor Linda Carroll wrote a great article about the importance of detecting Alzheimer's disease earlier in life. Warning signs, such as difficulty with language or reading, changes in mood or personality and challenges in problem solving, could provide clues to patients experiencing the early onset of this neurological disease. This is particularly true for patients under the age of 65, where early detection by physicians is less common.
Nancy Alberton, a patient in her late 50s, was concerned about her risk for developing Alzheimer's, as her own mother suffered from it. It wasn't until she started forgetting words that she went to a neurologist and was diagnosed with the early onset of Alzheimer's disease.
Nancy was lucky that the doctor diagnosed her so early in her life because of the medical options that are available for patients in her shoes. She is now being treated with medicines that help alleviate the symptoms of Alzheimer's, and has enrolled in clinical trials that are testing potential Alzheimer's treatments.
Clinical trial enrollment for complex diseases like Alzheimer's disease have experienced great challenges. The research and discovery process of potential new breakthrough medicines can be severally deterred if there aren't enough participants in clinical trials.
Many Alzheimer's patients and their caregivers aren't aware that clinical trials could be taking place in their own backyard. This makes PhMRA's initiative "Research in your Backyard" that much more important - it raises awareness of clinical trials and how these trials have contributed greatly to patient health.
While current treatments available for Alzheimer's patients address only its symptoms, hope is on the horizon with nearly 100 potential new medicines in the biopharmaceutical pipeline. As we pointed out in our report "Setbacks and Stepping Stones" last year, research in this particular disease area is much more complicated and complex than most other diseases. In fact, the report found that between 1998 and 2011, 101 treatments for Alzheimer's have failed to reach patients. In the same time period, three medicines have been approved to treat symptoms of the disease. This 34 to one ratio of setbacks to successes underscores the difficulty of developing new medicines for Alzheimer's.
In October, PhRMA will be hosting an Alzheimer's forum to discuss the challenges surrounding clinical trial recruitment for Alzheimer's patients and barriers to pre-competitive partnerships that could help advance medical innovation.
Stay tuned for more information about this event!

North Carolina legislators are closing in on the last hours of this year's General Assembly session.
Leaders of the House and Senate say their target for shutting down for this year is early Friday.
The Senate is expected to pass sweeping election law changes, including requiring voters to present photo ID at the polls and shortening early voting by a week. That measure then would head to the House for consideration.
Abortion is expected to be the hot-button issue that lawmakers grapple with before leaving Raleigh for the year. Proposed legislation would impose new regulations and restrictions on abortion clinics. The House and Senate passed similar versions of the measure.

Due to circumstances beyond the Daily News' control, our paper was forced to postpone the BDN Pool Party until a later date. We will keep readers informed and let the public know when the event can be rescheduled. The event, scheduled to take place yesterday evening at 6:00 p.m., was free and open to the public and once rescheduled, it still will be.
"We had an incident at the pool yesterday at about 3:00 p.m. that required us to shut all the systems down," said Boonville Director of Parks, Gary Nauman.
A swim meet, set to see approximately 700 swimmers from the region, will not be affected by the incident. It will begin, as scheduled, tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m.
"We had to go in and super-chlorinate the pool – we had to increase the chlorine to 10 times our normal residual levels. Our plans are to stop the process around 12:00 noon and have everything turned back on around 4:00 p.m.," said Nauman.
"We were disappointed that we were not able to hold the event last night, but are looking forward to rescheduling a new date this summer. Thank you to the community for being understanding," said Daily News Publisher, Deborah Marshall.

BRENTWOOD -- Four teenagers wounded Monday evening in a drive-by shooting may have been targeted for unknowingly wearing shoes denoting a gang affiliation, police said.
The teens, who ranged in age from 13 to 16 years old, were standing on a sidewalk in front of a home in the 1100 block of Breton Drive about 6 p.m. when a car with three to four men drove up to them, Brentwood Capt. Tom Hansen said.
According to a report on KTVU-TV, a man in the car asked one of the boys why he was wearing Nike Cortez shoes, to which one of the teens, whose identities have not been released, replied, "Don't worry about it." One of the suspects reportedly fired back, saying, "Gang members like to wear those."
The car pulled away, made a U-turn, then came back and fired approximately five shots at the boys, Hansen said.
Police described the victims' injuries as "serious," and all four boys were taken to the hospital for treatment. Two of them have since been released, and one of the teens who remains in the hospital is undergoing surgery to remove a bullet in his knee.
Both the victims' families and the police insist that none of the teens is a gang member, and they were unaware of any significance between gang affiliations and the pair of sneakers.
"We have absolutely no reason to believe they are affiliated with any type of gang," Hansen said.
A detailed suspect description wasn't available, but the men in the vehicle were described as white and Hispanic men in their early to mid-20s. No arrests have been made in the incident.
The vehicle was described as a white or light-colored, late model, four-door sedan.
Anyone with information should call Detective Aguirre at 925-809-7726 or Detective Folena at 925-809-7743.

FAIRFIELD - A man accused of sexually assaulting and killing a 13-year-old Suisun City girl pleaded not guilty to murder in a Fairfield courtroom today.
Anthony Lemar Jones, 32, is charged with murder with several special circumstances, including that the murder was committed during a kidnapping and a rape.
Prosecutors have said they intend to pursue capital punishment in the case, and the special-circumstance allegations make Jones eligible for the death penalty if he is convicted.
The body of his alleged victim, Genelle Conway-Allen, was found unclothed in a parking lot at Allan Witt Park in Fairfield at about 6:45 a.m. on Feb. 1.
Jones was arrested for the killing a week later in the 1100 block of East Tabor Avenue in Fairfield, and is being held without bail in Solano County Jail.
Genelle was in foster care at the time of her death. A graveside memorial service for her is planned this afternoon in Benicia.
The homeless man who found her body, Eric May, attended today's court hearing.
"I really want to see that Genelle gets justice," he said.
After the hearing, he showed reporters a silver bracelet he was wearing on which he had gotten Genelle's name engraved.
"I'm really shaken by this," he said, as he appeared to tremble.
He said he does not plan to attend Genelle's memorial because he fears he would be overwhelmed by it.
Kevin Gaye, 25, of Fairfield, a customer at J's Barber Shop in Suisun City where Jones worked, was also at today's hearing.
He said he didn't know Jones well but used to say hello to him when he would get his hair cut.
Jones will next appear in court on Feb. 27, when future hearings will be scheduled.

|It appears that more and more of the summit pinnacle is falling off the east and west. The summit register no longer exists on top, my guess is it's located far below to the west down in the talus fields. "House of cards" correctly describes the summit. This was my final peak off of the Oregon's highest 100 peaks list. Quite a way to finish the list!

|I would say that this is the hardest summit to reach in all of the Wallowa's. I grew up in La Grande and have spent my early years climbing all over the Wallowa Mountains. Twin Peaks can be seen from a lot of other peaks and it is an eye catcher. Glad to have made it to the top.

|Ive wanted to climb this peak for years, and finally, Ive done it! I climbed to the very top of the north pinnacle. The scariest (and stupidest) thing I have ever done. Terrifying is an understatement. There were very few names in the summit register on top, I was probably the 15th, since the book was placed in 1992.

|Route Climbed: North Ridge above Legore Lake Date Climbed: September 4, 1999
|Took the trail to Legore Lake and from there ascended the north flank of Twin Peak. This is a beautiful mountain, but with the bright red color topped by the two black pinnacles it also has an evil, sinister look. I chickened out and did not do the last 40 ft. or so of the taller pinnacle. But I was alone and lacked the appropriate gear so not attempting to scale the last few feet was the wise choice. I studied it for quite some time, trying to convince myself there was a way, but it was beyond my skill and people at home need me.
Looking south over the magnificent Hurricane Ridge I could see one bighorn ewe and further below, 14 mountain goats lounged on the green grass near the small unnamed lake. There are also moraines and other glacial features to view, and even in September, huge snow packs can be found in the vicinity.

|Pinnacle was SCARY. Hangs over 4,000 drop & my brother Pat had to put my foot onto a hold below overhang on descent about 12 ft below top. (As well he should since he's the one who insisted on leaving the rope in the car.) Not one you can solo.

Centennial Panel Features Four Female Chief Justices
Women's Struggles Recounted and Impact Assessed
Chief Justice Christine M. Durham, Utah Supreme Court
(Boston, Revised 11/13/09) New England Law | Boston:Women now comprise roughly half of law students nationwide, but Chief Justice Christine M. Durham of the Utah Supreme Court was a member of a distinct minority when she received her J.D. in 1971. "Women represented less than 2 percent of the law profession," she said. She recalled that when she graduated from Duke University School of Law, "There was not a single law firm in the Research Triangle area of North Carolina that would hire a woman lawyer."
Chief Justice Durham was among the trailblazers who gathered for a panel discussion on March 20, 2009. An overflow crowd in New England Law | Boston's Cherry Room, including a C-SPAN television crew, learned about the sizable hurdles cleared by Chief Justice Durham, Chief Justice Margaret H. Marshall of the Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court, Chief Justice Ruth V. McGregor of the Arizona Supreme Court, and Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears of the Supreme Court of Georgia.
Breaking Through the "Ceilings"
Chief Justice Margaret h. Marshall, Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court
The panelists traveled different paths to their states' top judicial posts, but all were part of the early wave of female law school graduates whose determination was ultimately rewarded with substantial opportunities. Chief Justice Marshall summarized, "What you really have here with the four chiefs is what I call 'the glass ceiling generation.'"
Zoe Paolantonio ('09) asked how encounters with the glass ceiling impacted their consideration of cases. Chief Justice Sears provided an analogy, saying that all judges wear "sunglasses" colored by their life experiences. Yet what others might assume to be the primary influences on her life – her status as a woman and an African American – are not reliable predictors of her decisions, she stated, since she is an independent thinker.
Chief Justice Leah Ward Sears, Supreme Court of Georgia
Chief Justice Sears told attendees, "I would encourage the young women here today to get out there, and don't be afraid to fail."
Earlier in the program, Chief Justice Marshall had quipped that the two Portia Law School graduates in attendance, Eleanora Fantony Burke ('35) and Margaret Kelley Doyle ('32), were short in height because they had come up against a "concrete ceiling." Chief Justice Marshall admonished today's female law students, "If you go through a single day of law school without raising your hand, you're not doing justice to the women who bashed their heads against the 'concrete ceiling!'"
Women's Impact on the Profession
Chief Justice Sears described the discomfort and isolation that she experienced in a large Atlanta firm early in her career. Mentors bonded with junior attorneys on golfing and hunting trips, but as she exclaimed, "I like to shop!" When the audience's laughter subsided, she began again on a serious note, describing her superiors' inflexibility when her then six-month-old child was hospitalized.
Ruth V. McGregor, Arizona Supreme Court
The overlapping responsibilities of attorney, wife, and mother can be difficult to manage, at least in the short run, acknowledged Chief Justice McGregor. "We want to balance and when we find we can't do it every day, we have to take a longer view," she said.
Chief Justice McGregor cited the work of social scientists who maintain that women tend to decide by consensus and are less adversarial. She and Chief Justice Durham drew a connection between the growth in recent decades of alternative dispute resolution strategies, family law, and community courts and the increased numbers of female attorneys.
The Benefits of a Judicial Career
(L-R), Hulett H. Askew, Consultant, American Bar Association; Dean John F. O'Brien ('77); Chief Justice Durham; Chief Justice Marshall; Chief Justice McGregor; Chief Justice Sears; Professor Dussias
Chief Justice McGregor fondly recalled her years as a trial lawyer. "I think being a lawyer is just terrific and I loved every minute of it." Yet over time, as her skills improved and her billing rate climbed, she had less time for the research and writing that she had once enjoyed. The judicial branch allowed her to again pursue these interests.
A judgeship can also be a practical choice for those with childrearing responsibilities. Chief Justice Marshall explained, "The one thing that you have as a judge is predictability." She tempered that observation with sage advice about choosing a career path, reminding attendees of the importance of passion.
Much Work Remains
Notwithstanding women's great progress, there is still much to be done. Chief Justice Durham noted a recent American Bar Association study that concluded that the number of women in the upper echelons of top firms remains disproportionately low.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Many people first learned about the exploits of 49ers linebacker Aldon Smith last season. On Monday night, a national television audience had the chance to witness Smith's ability to change the complexion of a game at any time.
Smith recorded 51/2 sacks of Chicago Bears quarterback Jason Campbell and forced two fumbles in setting the tone for the 49ers' defensive dominance in a 32-7 victory at Candlestick Park.
"I have a thing for night games," Smith said. "I love the lights."
Campbell and the Bears aren't about to argue the point, not after Smith spent almost as much time in the backfield as the Bears running backs.
Time and again, Smith ran around, through or over left offensive tackle J'Marcus Webb and right offensive tackle Gabe Carimi, whoever got in his way, hellbent upon taking down Campbell.
"If you sense a weakness, you've got to take advantage of it," Smith said, "and that's what we did."
49ers left offensive tackle Joe Staley just smiled when asked if he is happy that he doesn't have to block Smith in a game.
"He's got all the moves," Staley said. "That's what makes him so dangerous. There's not many guys in the NFL that have that. Usually, they have one thing to hang their hat on.
"When I think of guys that have all the tools, I think of (Cowboys linebacker) DeMarcus Ware, and that might be it. Aldon definitely has that, and he's just getting better."
Smith came within a half sack of former defensive end Fred Dean's single-game team record, set on Nov. 13, 1983, against the New Orleans Saints. Smith's 15 sacks are two more than the Denver Broncos' Von Miller, who beat out Smith as the AP's NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year.
Smith, the 49ers' first-round draft pick last year, is on pace to collect the most sacks through two seasons by anyone in NFL history. Reggie White (31) and Derrick Thomas (30) are the only ones who produced more than Smith's 291/2, thus far.
Smith had three sacks by halftime Monday night. His final sack resulted in Campbell on the ground, the ball bouncing around and the 49ers ultimately being awarded a safety.
Smith already has 11/2 more sacks than he had last season.
"He's a great, great player, and he always shows up huge the bigger the game," Staley said. "He really dominated today. I'm really happy I don't have to go against him (in games) because we have some battles in practice."
Cornerback Carlos Rogers said Smith's ability to reach the quarterback in a flash makes life much easier on him and the other defensive backs.
"That's good for a secondary because we don't have to cover long," Rogers said. "Once he collapses the pocket ... the quarterback is down. He's amazing."
Smith has 91/2 sacks the past three games and is on pace to record the most sacks by a 49er since Cedrick Hardman's 18 in 1971, the latest chronicled mark in the team's record book.
Roy Barker was the last 49er to record four sacks in a game, on Oct. 25, 1998, against the Rams.

What's the common theme of the 2014 Final Four teams? The new randomness of March Madness, that's what.
The theme is there is no theme, no formula, no grand unifying tie that binds Florida, Connecticut, Wisconsin and Kentucky in any real way.
If you based your predictions on what happened in the 2013-14 regular season, well, your bracket sheet has been crumpled and tossed long ago.
That's ancient history now.
Because the way the NCAA works these days, the basketball regular season is essentially just a setup, a tedious preliminary stage of only casual relation to what happens once the tournament begins.
And the randomness starts to happen.
That's exciting for the brackets; that helps lead to a fascinating tournament full of upsets, and it is also ceaselessly confusing for much of the time.
That's how we've got a Final Four with Florida (a great regular season team), Wisconsin (a good one), UConn (up and down) and Kentucky (very shaky).
There's no specific reason for this. It's mainly happenstance that these four teams got hot and stayed hot for the last few weeks.
All to their credit, by the way.
But still, in the Random Era, there's no clear way to predict which two teams will survive Saturday's semifinals, move on to Monday's national championship game, and which one will cut down the nets at the end.
I'll pick Wisconsin, what the heck, but that's a coin-flip call in a tossup tournament.
Blame the parade of one-and-done college players to the NBA, if you want; nothing destabilizes a program more than the need to reset the team's style and attitude every year.
(And Duke's Jabari Parker, Kansas' Andrew Wiggins and probably Arizona's Aaron Gordon are all one-and-done-with-the-NCAAs.)
Kentucky caught fire when its super freshmen figured out things early last month; last season, with a roster almost as talented, Kentucky withered and collapsed in March.
It's random!
Or blame poor shooting fundamentals, which can push even the most talented teams into deep scoring droughts and out of the tournament. (Hello, Arizona!)
This is not a terrible situation, by the way, and I'm not making this point to discredit these four deserving teams.
Florida is loaded with savvy seniors, had a great regular season, was anointed the tournament's No. 1 overall seed and moved through the South Regional relatively smoothly.
UConn has the great point guard Shabazz Napier, drew the East's No. 7 seed, then took down the region's No. 2 (Villanova), No. 3 (Iowa State) and No. 4 (Michigan State) seeds in succession.
I'll pick UConn to beat Florida on Saturday.
Wisconsin is built around the inside-outside talents of Frank Kaminsky, had a strong regular season, was given the No. 2 seed in the West and knocked off No. 1 Arizona in the regional final.
And galloping Kentucky is, as usual, loaded with young talent, had a wildly inconsistent regular season, got the Midwest's No. 8 seed, then went on to topple No. 1 Wichita State, red-hot No. 4 Louisville and No. 2 Michigan in order.
I said I'm picking Wisconsin to win it all, so I'm obviously saying the Badgers will beat Kentucky.
Yes, one of these teams will win the tournament, and there will then be a rush to make a grand conclusion about What It Meant.
That UConn won because you need a great guard ...
Or Kentucky proved that the most NBA-level talent always wins ...
Or Wisconsin showed that two-way teamwork trumps all else ...
Or Florida proved that experience is the key ...
But in the regular season, UConn lost to Houston and Stanford, got swept by SMU and lost three times to Louisville.
And Kentucky got swept by Arkansas and went 0-3 against Florida.
Even mighty Florida lost to UConn and Wisconsin in the regular season.
So? There is no conclusion to make, not a real one, anyway. Whoever wins is whoever stays hot, that's pretty much it.
This is fun to watch, but it's a roulette game now.
I picked Michigan State at the start, and now that the Spartans are out, I'm picking Wisconsin from here.
I can't really explain why, and that's the major point of all of this.

Speculation Swirls as Obama, Hillary Clinton Meet for Lunch
President Barack Obama is having lunch today with former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, sparking speculation about whether they're meeting to discuss current events or 2016.
Mrs. Clinton has yet to declare whether she'll run for president in 2016 but another confidante of Mr. Obama—Vice President Joe Biden—has indicated he might want to jump in.
All of which could put Mr. Obama in an awkward position: Does he support Mrs. Clinton, his well-traveled former secretary of state and his main rival for the Democratic nomination in 2008 , or Mr. Biden, his close ally during two terms in office?
The White House is mum on why Mr. Obama and Mrs. Clinton are meeting. Even without questions about 2016, there is plenty for them to discuss. Egypt has erupted in violence yet again and peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians are set to resume Monday night in D.C. after a three-year hiatus. The revival of peace talks represents a victory for Secretary of State John Kerry, who succeeded Mrs. Clinton in February.
Also on Monday, Mr. Obama is meeting with civil rights leaders and other officials to discuss strengthening the Voting Rights Act and "safeguarding every eligible American's right to vote," the White House said in the president's daily schedule. Attorney General Eric Holder and Secretary of Labor Tom Perez will also be at the meeting.
The meeting comes a month after the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 ruling, nullified a core provision of the Voting Rights Act. That ruling sparked criticism from the left that it would lead to greater voter suppression. Mr. Obama, at the time, said he was "deeply disappointed" by the ruling and said it "upsets decades of well-established practices that help make sure voting is fair, especially in places where voting discrimination has been historically prevalent." Mr. Holder announced a strategy last week to retain some oversight of state's election procedures.
Both the lunch with Mrs. Clinton and meeting with civil rights leaders are closed to the press.

OpenShot Video Editor's New Skin
October 21, 2009 Leave a comment Go to comments
Call me shallow, but in all seriousness the main reason I've not tried OpenShot video editor is that I can't stand the glossy, glassy, bubbly look of their default colour scheme. Dislike KDE? Not that I necessarily do, but OpenShot's theme was like KDE, but worse, much, much worse.
It seems like that's all just changed for the better! A new "matt" theme is now available for OpenShot, and at first glance it looks much more appealing to my eyes. This will fit much better with my matt XFCE theme
See the latest blog post over on the OpenShot website, with details of how to change from the default theme, and then have a look at the two screen shots below:
Default (Before):
Matt Theme (After):
I guess that takes away any perceived barrier I had to trying this software. Happy days, I can now temporarily join the OpenShot massive (as long as I don't visit their website too often).

Brice Woolly, Ardmore Police Department Patrol Division, said the man was stopped shortly after 2 p.m. in the 900 block of Myall Road, when officers saw a substantial amount of unsecured scrap metal protruding from the back of his pickup. During the stop, a stolen GPS was discovered. Woolly said the suspect was arrested and booked into the county jail on a pending possession of stolen property charge.
Was the scrap metal, including copper, in the back of his pickup stolen? Woolly said an investigation in the ownership of the metal remains under investigation.
