BMI, though the national standard, just one piece of the weight-loss puzzle
BMI, the body mass index, is universally accepted by physicians as a reasonable indicator for body-fat percentage — although it does not measure actual body fat. Doctors and trainers say an individual's BMI is an incomplete measure of their overall health and fitness, but for many people that rank higher on the spectrum, the number can be reduced with diet and exercise.
The obesity study published recently by the Trust for America's Health and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation used BMI to project a drastic increase in health-care costs if obesity rates in the U.S. continue to climb at current rates.
BMI is derived via a formula that divides a person's weight by their height squared, multiplied by 703. (No need to be a math whiz to do this; there are plenty of resources online or at your doctor's office.) The resulting number is the BMI: below 18.5, underweight; 18.5-24.9, normal; 25-29.9, overweight; 30 and above, obese.
A number of factors make the BMI formula an inexact indication of how overweight someone is. Women tend to have more body fat than men; body-fat percentage may increase with age; and very fit athletes may have a higher BMI due to increased muscle development. The standard BMI chart is not used for children under 4 feet, 1 inch, and it does not factor in other health risks such as high blood pressure, high glucose, smoking and family history.
The medical community still sees the indicator's value.
"BMI is the national standard," according to Dr. Antoinette DeIngeniis-DePasquale, who treats overweight patients at the Medi Weight Loss Clinic in Wayne, N.J. "And it makes it much easier for us to see who is obese and who is at risk."
DeIngeniis-DePasquale does note, though, that BMI is only part of the picture. Although it is routinely used at her clinic, she says, it is part of an overall evaluation, based on many other factors.
One reason for that is that BMI isn't accurate in all cases. As certified fitness trainer Gary Schulman of Oradell, N.J., is quick to say, "I'm 5 foot, 5 inches and weigh 160. And I'm not overweight." Even if his BMI says that he is.
Schulman, who also is an instructor at Faustini's Institute of Martial Arts in Oradell, isn't anti-BMI, but says, "it bothers me that they don't have a footnote in there, explaining that the BMI should be combined with your muscle mass. Most family doctors don't gauge your actual body-fat percentage, which can be measured with a skin fold caliper or an electronic scale that measures fat through low-grade impulses that shoot through your feet and hands. There is another method, hydrostatic water testing, which I've never used, but it's supposed to be very accurate."
Schulman adds that even though he is all for lean bodies, he is always concerned about the lose-weight-at-all-costs mentality some desperate dieters have.
"What matters is eating right and being healthy," Schulman says. "The goal should be to achieve optimal health and be able to function at a high level. If you're losing weight and that includes muscle mass, that's not a positive thing.
Resistance training, cardio training, getting the right amount of fluids, sleep and so on, create optimal health for your body."
Does he see BMI as at least helpful in this? "I wouldn't portray it in a negative way, just to say that it's only a part of the picture. If it helps motivate people to get healthier, that's great. But I personally don't think of weight loss as a goal. To me it's a side effect - it's what you wind up with if you're doing every else right."

"The Karate Kid" stars Ralph Macchio as Daniel Larusso, the new kid in California who just moved with his mother from New Jersey. But problems immediately arise when Daniel has his eye on Ali (Elizabeth Shue) and they start hanging out. And that's not the problem exactly, it's that Ali's old boyfriend, Johnny (William Zabka) gets jealous and with his band of his karate friends from the Cobra Kai Dojo, beat up and pick on Daniel. Daniel wants very badly to have revenge on the Cobra Kai gang and is obsessed on learning karate. With the help of a handyman, Miyage-san (Pat Morita), who is not what he seems, learns karate so he can enter the All-Valley Karate Championship Tournament. Throughout his training, Daniel not only learns how to do karate, he learns that you learn karate not to fight, but to stop fighting.

Arrest made in Monday shooting
Published: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 8:43 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, July 3, 2013 at 8:51 a.m.
A Napoleonville man wanted for allegedly shooting another man in the back Monday turned himself in a day later, Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office said.
Daron Holloway, 21, was charged with attempted second-degree murder.
He shot Skilar Rhodes, 21, of Napoleonville, after the two got into a fight that afternoon at Rhodes' home, Sheriff Mike Waguespack said.
As Rhodes tried to get away, Holloway allegedly pointed a small handgun at him and fired, the sheriff said. Rhodes was found lying on the ground with a gunshot wound to his upper torso.
Holloway then fled in a black Ford Escort, Waguespack said. Authorities believed he drove toward the Gonzales area, and a warrant was issued for his arrest, Waguespack added.
Holloway turned himself in to the Assumption Parish Sheriff's Office about 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Waguespack said. His bond was expected to be set today.
Rhodes was taken to Prevost Hospital in Donaldsonville and later taken by helicopter to a Baton Rouge hospital where he was listed in guarded condition.
The investigation into this incident remains ongoing, Waguespack said.

Jodie Foster Lists L.A. Home for $6.399 Million
Jodie Foster has listed her Sunset Strip home in Hollywood Hills for $6.399 million.
The roughly 6,000-square-foot Spanish villa has four bedrooms, four full bathrooms and two half-baths. There's an office, attached guest suite, master suite with a sauna, kitchen with stone countertops, a large screening room with a bay window and a step-down, 638-square-foot living room with a vaulted ceiling and French doors. The ¼-acre property includes a brick-patio courtyard with a swimming pool and high-reaching hedges for privacy. There are views of Century City, a rear-gated driveway and a two-car garage.
According to public records and people familiar with the listing, Ms. Foster bought the property in August 1997 and updated part of the home. Model and actress Cheryl Tiegs previously owned the villa, which was built in 1935. Ms. Foster is selling because she's moved to a different home, according to people familiar with the listing. Ms. Foster didn't respond to a call seeking comment.
Ms. Foster's well-known movies include "Panic Room,""Nell" and "The Silence of the Lambs."
David Kramer and Jeff Hyland of Los Angeles' Hilton & Hyland, the exclusive affiliate of Christie's International Real Estate, share the listing.

The rhyton, an Eastern banqueting tradition borrowed by the Greeks, appeared in Athens in the early 5th century B.C. It was the drinking vase of Dionysos and the heroes, and when used during the banquets of the Athenian elite it associated the drinker with the heroic world and its values.
The rhyton decorated by the Colmar Painter belongs to the first generation of these vases produced in Athens.
The artist, whose real name is unknown to us, is named after one of his works, a cup conserved at the Schongauer Museum in Colmar. During his very long career, which continued until the 470's B.C., he mainly devoted his time to decorating cups.The rhyton at the Petit Palais is the only one that we can attribute to him. He has left us scenes full of life, treated with equal amounts of delicacy and vivacity. Enthused by the study of movement, he had a particular preferences for three-quarter and rear views. It is in this spirit that he depicts a young banqueter "armed" with a drinking horn and amphora, dancing between the ears of the dionysiac mule, perfectly if somewhat precariously balanced, with his white-haired companion, rejuvenated by the spirit of the banquet.

SAN JOSE -- The Earthquakes will head to Texas with a few rays of Caribbean sunshine and an emerging French connection.
All positive signs for a club that finally earned a statement win heading into Saturday's Western Conference battle against FC Dallas.
Foreign imports Atiba Harris of Saint Kitts and Nevis, Khari Stephenson of Jamaica and Jean-Baptiste Pierazzi of Corsica and the French first division all gave notable efforts in a 3-0 win over the Houston Dynamo.
Factor in the darting runs of Yannick Djalo of Portugal and the play of Jamaican outside defender Shaun Francis, and the Quakes (3-4-4) are finally showing an international hop in their step.
"I think we're definitely possessing the ball better and making better decisions when we have it," Stephenson said of the team's play. "We haven't been as sloppy as we were earlier in the year. The fight and the work is always there, but we're playing better as a team."
Sunday's victory, highlighted by Stephenson's two goals and Harris' first goal with the club, marked the first three-goal effort by the Quakes since a 3-3 draw against Real Salt Lake on March 15.
Quakes fans know what to expect up front from Steven Lenhart and Alan Gordon, and in the back from a group of veteran pros. But they have been waiting for the emergence of the club's three big offseason additions: Djalo, Pierazzi and Harris.
Harris, who seems to relish now being positioned more in the middle, said his goal got "the monkey" off his back.
"I've always been a player who wants to get in the box," said Harris, who's 6-foot-3. "These past three games, I've been getting closer and closer to the goal. That's been good for me."
Stephenson said that sometimes it takes one or two players to bring out the best of a teammate by passing to him in the best spots.
"That has a lot to do with the case of Atiba," Stephenson said. "He likes to have touches on the ball. Before, he was stuck outside. Now he's more involved in playing, and it's showing his game."
Harris, whom the Quakes landed in a trade with Colorado for Marvin Chavez, has been assimilating in a number of ways, including moving his young family of four to Santa Clara.
"Once that happened, I also had to make sure that I'm comfortable on the field with my new teammates," Harris said. "It's taken a little bit of time, longer than I expected, but we're beginning to jell a little bit more. Hopefully, you'll see a lot more positive results."
Djalo played 70 minutes in his second start with the Quakes, and coach Mark Watson was pleased with Djalo's production and that he avoided an injury. Pierazzi seems more effective working as a holding midfielder with Stephenson as an attacking midfielder dictating the tempo. Expect to see more of the pairing, which would keep Sam Cronin on the bench.
"We've got the luxury of having a bunch of good midfielders," Watson said.

One could get whiplash looking at Apple's performance in 2013.
No major new innovation was announced. But a huge new partnership with China Mobile is expected to goose iPhone sales among that carrier's 776 million subscribers. There were growing doubts about CEO Tim Cook's ability to "channel'' Steve Jobs and his "insanely great'' legacy. But its jaw-dropping market cap approaching $500 billion makes Apple the most valuable company on the face of the earth.
Despite worries that it's lost its mojo, Apple not only dominated the consumer technology gang of eight, making its seven rivals look like revenue pipsqueaks by comparison, but also landed for another year at the very top of the SV150.
"For all the attention and scrutiny it gets and for all the speculation and debate it sparks about whether it's done innovating, Apple remains fundamentally a very successful formula,'' says analyst John Jackson with IDC. "And that formula, along with the momentum it's created, remains intact.''
With around 600 million customer's credit cards on file, Apple's "formula'' looks like this to Jackson: "It's your credit card linked to a universe of digital content creating experiences across their world-beating devices. And there's nothing obvious in the wings right now that would undermine that formula.''
To get an idea of Apple's sheer heft, look where it stands among its fellow Silicon Valley firms: In the sonsumer tech sector's 2013 snapshot, top-ranked Apple posted nearly $174 billion in sales and $37 billion in profits; second-place SanDisk had revenues of $6.1 billion and profits of $625 million. Apple's sales made up about 90 percent of the entire sector's total revenue. And thanks to Apple, consumer tech chipped in 27 percent of the total revenue generated by all 150 companies on the annual score card.

It was hard to get a crew together in those days when most of those around me had never heard any Phish. I dragged Ray down to the Bayou, and saw only one or two familiar faces inside...the floor inside the small club was empty, and there were still open tables on the wraparound balcony above when the boys hit the stage. The lights didn't even go down!
What's this? A Capella? I think I knew "Carolina" best from an old Bugs Bunny cartoon...and was immediately impressed with the boldness of such an opening, unamplified over a few catcalls to GET ROCKIN'! Then, the opening notes of "You Enjoy Myself" and we're OFF...
Standing in the middle of the nearly empty floor in front of the stage as the coda to "Esther" plays, thinking to myself, "but...but...but, SHE DIED!"
Cracking up at "Possum" and marveling at the deftness of "A-Train", losing it again over "Fee" ("slice you on the nipple"? Ah-hahaha!)
Page's beautiful outro to "Squirming Coil", him bent over a tiny Fender Rhoades keyboard tickling the most heavenly strains from the keys.
Ray's bemused face during their rollicking "La Grange" - I don't think he ever saw them again after that...oh well, not for everybody I guess! More for me!
The utter silliness of "Bathtub Gin" and "Contact", the punchy "Lizards" and tremendous "Cavern" beseeching us to TAKE CARE OF YOUR SHOES, whatever you do. OK! I was hooked...the first of many nights of fun, Fun, FUN!
I finally, in 2002, found *1* person who had a copy of a partial soundboard of this show in his collection, tracked him down and set up a trade. It never shows up even today, and I may never hear it again in its entirety, but I'll never forget that night!

By Chris Jennings, Ducks Unlimited Web Editor
This summer's severe drought has had a major impact on waterfowl hunting in Indiana. Wetland habitat and ducks are generally in short supply on many traditional waterfowl hunting areas. Large lakes, reservoirs are holding a few birds, but are also receiving increased hunting pressure.
Indiana's North Zone waterfowlers have experienced spotty success since the duck season opened on Oct. 20. Waterfowl numbers on Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area (FWA) near North Judson are generally a good indication of migration in this part of the state.
"Currently we are only hunting 15 of our marsh blinds due to some early water level issues," says Nate Schmalzried, assistant property manager at Kankakee Fish and Wildlife Area. "The good news is that we are holding some birds, and we will be opening 19 corn blinds and five more marsh blinds on November 7. This will move birds around and improve hunter success."
This season's harvest numbers at Kankakee FWA are down, but a combination of improved water levels and a cold front to push birds into the area may help.
"I think we are still waiting on a big migration," Schmalzried explains. "The habitat we have now is in great condition and we are expecting our overall harvest numbers to increase significantly."
In Indiana's Central Zone, Goose Pond FWA, outside of Linton, Indiana hosted approximately 43 hunting parties on Saturday, Nov. 3, which is just under the property's capacity.
"The property is in good shape, with decent water and natural vegetation," says Brad Feaster, Goose Pond FWA property manager. "We have good numbers of shovelers, pintails, and gadwall. The hunting will be solid here until we freeze, and unfortunately it doesn't take much to freeze our shallow water impoundments."
While Feaster had yet to review the harvest report cards submitted by hunters, he expects the numbers to be good.
Personally, I ran the Wabash River north of Terre Haute, and saw few birds. Wabashiki FWA is dry, and the lack of migrant waterfowl in the area is obvious. On a positive note, the low river level has allowed natural vegetation to flourish along the the river banks. Even a slight increase in river stage will put water on excellent food sources in creek mouths and along large sandbars. Consequently, cold weather and a little precipitation could provide the perfect storm for late-season hunts.

Kimberly Clark announced an expansion April 28. The Beech Island plant will become the largest in North America.
With that comes hundreds of new jobs.
1.4 million people around the world use Kimberly Clark products every day; you probably do too.
They make things like toilet paper, Kleenex and Huggies.
And while these products are used by so many of us, today's announcement of 250 new jobs may touch our lives even more.
Al Lark is part of Kimberly Clark's Beech Island expansion.
He's the plant's longest employee, here since the beginning in 1968.
And Al knows the value of his job.
"It benefited me real good. I started out there real good and ready to retire in good health," he says.
He retired the same day as the expansion announcement, paving the way for the multi-million dollar expansion and 250 new employees.
These 250 new workers will be making things for America's babies.... products like Huggies
diapers and baby wipes.
Kimberly Clark employees' average wage is $22.39 per hour. That's almost $7 more than the county average of $15.88.
Representative Rowland Smith helped lure these well-paying jobs by changing a tax incentive law.
"It means more than just the number of employees that will be hired here, because of the spin off effect, people buying new homes, improving education because they're paying more taxes," Smith says.
Senator Greg Ryberg agrees wholeheartedly. He says Kimberly Clark's jobs provide great opportunities.
"Wonderful company," he says. "I worked for them for 4 years right out of college."
As for Al, he's never missed a day of work.
He says this job helped him raise six children and operate a small farm.
And he has this advice for future workers:
"I just come in, have a good attitude, work safely," he says.
Work on this expansion starts in June and should be finished in early 2008.

2.7 To the extent that he is named in the passages cited above, readers would of course have taken them to be referring to Irving. With the exception of the title page, all the passages complained of do make mention of Irving by name. I am satisfied that readers would have understood all those passages to refer to Irving. The Defendants have not sought in the course of the trial to suggest otherwise.
2.8 I add the rider that the assertions, to be found principally at pages 111, 181 and 221, that Irving is a Holocaust "denier" and a spokesperson for Holocaust denial will in my judgment cause readers to understand references to "deniers" elsewhere in the passages complained of as importing a reference to Irving individually. Accordingly I am satisfied that readers of Denying the Holocaust would have understood Irving to be one of those who (to quote from page 111) "misstate, misquote, falsify statistics and falsely attribute conclusions to reliable sources".

Leopardus tigrinus
|Scope: Global
|Scientific Name:
|Leopardus tigrinus
|Species Authority:
|(Schreber, 1775)
|Infra-specific Taxa Assessed:
Common Name(s):
|Taxonomic Notes:
|Genetic analyses found a level of divergence between L. tigrinus from Costa Rica and from central and southern Brazil comparable to that between species in the Leopardus group, suggesting that the two populations have been isolated, perhaps by the Amazon River, for approximately 3.7 million years. Both groups had relatively low levels of genetic diversity (Johnson et al. 1999). More analysis of geographic partitioning, with additional samples from other parts of the range, is needed to confirm whether this taxon should be split into two species.
There is also evidence of hybridization between L. tigrinus and L. colocolo (Johnson et al. 1999, Eizirik et al. 2007) and L. geoffroyi (Eizirik et al. 2007) in areas where their range overlaps.

|Nowell, K., Breitenmoser-Wursten, C., Breitenmoser, U. (Cat Red List Authority) & Schipper, J. (Global Mammal Assessment Team)
While L. tigrinus has a broad range (extent of occurrence), including the Amazon basin, totaling over 11 million km² (J. Schipper pers. comm. 2008), its distribution is highly localized (i.e., has a small area of occupancy (AOO)). The Amazon is a stronghold for other Neotropical forest-dwelling cats, but there the Little Spotted Cat has been found to occur at very low densities, approximately 0.01 individuals per 100 km² (Oliveira et al. in submission). Since higher densities are achieved where ocelots are scarce (Oliveira et al. in press), most of the population probably occurs outside protected areas, and outside the Amazon basin lowland rainforest, in habitats which are undergoing high rates of loss - e.g., the Brazilian cerrado (Klink and Machado 2005). A future decline of 30% over the next 18 years (= three generations) is projected due to declining AOO and habitat quality (IUCN Cats Red List Workshop 2007).
|Previously published Red List assessments:
|Range Description:
|The oncilla is distributed from Costa Rica (north) to southern Brazil and NE Argentina (30 degrees south) (Oliveira et al. 2008). There are records from the Amazon basin, but the distribution could be discontinuous and patchy, and the species extremely rare (Oliveira 2004). The species is absent from the Colombian Llanos and the Paraguayan Chaco (Payan et al. 2007). It has been recorded from Costa Rica and northern Panama, but not from the remainder of the Darien Peninsula connecting Central America to South America. Although the species has been collected as high as 4,800 m (Cuervo et al. 1986), this is likely an outlier, as there are very few records at or slightly above 3,000 m (T. Oliveira, per. comm.).

|Estimated population densities vary greatly. In the Amazon density is very low, expected at approximately 0.01/100 km². Camera-trap surveys in other portions of its range indicates that the species generally occurs in densities between 1-5/100 km² (Oliveira et al. in submission). In Central America the species rarely shows up in camera traps even where they are known to occur, suggesting that they either avoid traps or are naturally rare and elusive in that area (Schipper pers. comm.). A similar trend is also found in several areas in Brazil, where authors found it in most areas as in intrinsically low numbers, not camera-trap shyness (Oliveira pers. comm.) The oncilla is negatively impacted by ocelot numbers and does not seem to attain effective population size for long term persistence in any Conservation Unit possibly due to the "ocelot effect" (Oliveira et al. in press). Thus, it is found mostly outside protected areas in the Cerrado and Atlantic Forest biomes, which are both under severe threats, and where ocelots are absent or have declined (Oliveira et al. in submission). It seems that where ocelots are rare or absent the average population density ranges from 5-20 indiv/100 km² but expected to be much lower than 5/100 km² where ocelots are present (high density estimates, ca. 20/100 km², are obtained only in very few and isolated areas) (Oliveira et al. in submission). This species is vulnerable in Argentina (Diaz and Ojeda 2000), Brazil (Machado et al. 2005) and in Colombia (MAVDT, 2005; Rodriguez-Mahecha et al., 2006).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species is found in a broad range of habitats, but is especially associated with denser cover (Oliveira pers. comm.). In Costa Rica the species is almost entirely confined to montane forests along the flanks of Volcanos and other high mountains from 1,000 m up to the treeline (paramo) and occupy cloud forest and high elevation elfin forests (J. Schipper pers. comm.). Their distribution pattern in Costa Rica and Panama closely resembles that of the oak (Quercus sp.) dominated forests (J. Schipper pers. comm.). While in Central America and parts of northern South America it may be most common in montane cloud forest, it is mostly found in lowland areas in Brazil, being reported from rainforests to dry deciduous forest, savannas, semi-arid thorny scrub, and degraded secondary vegetation in close proximity to human settlement (Oliveira et al. 2008). The use of lowland Amazonian forests is practically unknown and requires attention.
The little spotted cat is a small-sized (2.4 kg) solitary felid, with an average litter size of 1.12 kittens (1–4) (Oliveira and Cassaro 2005). Diel activity pattern is mostly nocturno-crepuscular, but with considerable amount of daytime activity. However, it could also be highly diurnal in some areas of Brazil. Prey base consists mostly of small mammals, birds and lizards, with average prey size at <100 g, but does include larger sized prey (>1 kg). Home range data from the few studies that have been carried out suggests that they are small - 0.9-2.8 km² for females and 4.8-17 km² for males (although studies from Brazil's Emas National Park suggests ranges can be larger). However, these ranges are larger than would be expected from body size (Oliveira et al. in press). Densities vary 1-5/100 km², and in the Amazon may be as low as 0.01/100 km² (Oliveira et al. in submission). Little spotted cat occurs at low population densities throughout most of its range, especially on what would be expected by a felid of its size. Its numbers/densities are negatively impacted by the larger ocelot, its potential intra-guild predator/competitor (Oliveira et al. 2008, in press, in submission).
|Major Threat(s):
|The oncilla was heavily exploited for the fur trade decades ago, following the decline of the ocelot trade. Although international trade ceased, there is still some localized illegal hunting, usually for the domestic market. Current threats to this species include habitat loss, fragmentation, roads, illegal trade (pets and pelts), retaliatory killing due to depredation of poultry. Populations are severely fragmented and are being reduced severely by habitat conversion to plantations and pasture. Change in native species dynamics (predator/competitor) could represent another previously undetected potential threat (IUCN Cats Red List workshop, 2007). There is hybridization with Geoffroy's cat in the southernmost part of its range and with the pampas cat in central Brazil; this may be a natural or anthropogenic process and the extent of this as a threat is unknown (Eizirk et al. 2007).
|Conservation Actions:
|Included on CITES Appendix I. Hunting of the species is prohibited in Argentina, Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, French Guiana, Paraguay, Suriname and Venezuela (Nowell and Jackson 1996). In the Amazon, field records suggest that populations are extremely low - therefore these areas should not be perceived to be safeguards for the species as it is for other felids (Oliveira 2004). Populations in protected areas are expected to be very low, likely because of the impact of higher ocelot (L. pardalus) densities (Oliveira pers. comm.). Further studies are required on the species ecology, demographics, natural history, and threats. This species needs to be evaluated at the subspecies level due to genetic diversity within the species. A reassessment on the taxonomy of this species is an urgent research priority as the northern portion of the population might be a distinct species (IUCN Cats Red List workshop, 2007).

Shafer Merlot 2013 750ml
Shafer Winery
California Wine, Napa Valley
About Shafer Vineyard and Winery
Shafer Winery traces its beginnings to 1972 when John Shafer left a 23-year career in the publishing industry and, with his family, moved to the Napa Valley to pursue a second career in wine. After purchasing a 210-acre estate in Napa Valley's Stags Leap District, the Shafer family faced the arduous task of replanting the existing vineyards, which dated to the 1920s, and terracing the steep and rocky hillsides, eventually expanding vineyard acreage to its current 50 acres.Shafer Winery Hillside Select
Shafer Hillside Select, our signature wine of limited production, is made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the grapes selected from the best lots grown on Shafer's hillside vineyards in the Stags Leap District. Truly a "wine of a place," this Cabernet exemplifies the concentration of hillside grapes and the extraordinary richness and suppleness of Stags Leap District fruit. Aged a full four years prior to release (three years in Alliers and Tronçais oak barrels and one year in the bottle), the Hillside Select is a wine with rich chocolate, blackberry and currant flavors and a soft, velvety texture.Shafer Winery Chardonnay
Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch® Chardonnay is produced entirely from grapes grown in the Carneros district on the winery's Red Shoulder Ranch, named for the red-shouldered hawks that play an important role in Shafer's natural farming practices. The vineyard was planted in 1990 to five different Chardonnay clones specially selected for their small clusters, low yields and distinctive flavors. The wine is fermented in French and American oak barrels using wild yeast to add an extra dimension of complexity. It is spared malolactic fermentation in order to retain the natural fruit flavors and acidity. The Chardonnay remains in barrel for a total of 15 months prior to bottling, with the lees stirred weekly to create a rich, creamy texture.Shafer Winery Cabernet Sauvignon
Shafer Cabernet Sauvignon is an elegant, silky wine with soft tannins and abundant fruit that is approachable when young, yet capable of aging gracefully. From the first vintage, it has consistently reflected the Shafer style and commitment to quality. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and/or Cabernet Franc, it is aged for approximately 18 months in French and American oak barrels.Shafer Winery Merlot
Pull the cork on any bottle of Shafer Merlot and you will find a forward, stylish Merlot that takes center stage with all its appealing varietal fruit, not a Merlot that plays understudy to a Cabernet Sauvignon. Only small percentages of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon are blended in to complement, but not overshadow, the Merlot itself. Taking advantage of the site-specific nature of this varietal, Shafer's Merlot draws its grapes from selected vineyards throughout the Napa Valley, gaining complexity from the vineyard diversity. It is aged in French oak barrels for 18 months.Shafer Winery Firebreak
Shafer Firebreak® is a proprietary blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Inspired by the wines of Italy, Firebreak highlights the spicy fruitiness of Sangiovese with the depth and backbone of Cabernet Sauvignon. Sangiovese brings licorice and spice to this full-bodied and aromatic wine, while Cabernet contributes deep color and roundness on the back of the palate.

EMT Training Course Danville IL
EMT training is important when it comes to paramedic training, because a paramedic is an advanced EMT or also known as an emergency medical technician. There are three levels to being an emergency medical technician. The first level will involve you getting trained in the basic life saving techniques. This includes CPR to help those who have stopped breathing, first aid administration for those who have trauma and bleeding, and using other various medical equipment.
You'll be dealing with respiratory trauma, heart attacks, fractured bones, gunshots, and more. Every day will be different, and it can be a very exciting career to be in. In addition, your basic EMT training in Danville IL will involve you learning how to use backboards, suction devices, defibrillators, IVs, and stretchers. This is a little different from the third level, the paramedic training. The more advanced levels will be teaching you more advanced emergency medical services techniques. More time and study will be required to reach the higher levels.
To start your training in Danville IL, you'll need to either have a high school diploma or a GED. The second level of EMT training will require anywhere from 30 to 350 additional hours of training on top of the basic EMT training. The exact number of hours will depend on your location and state. It will also depend on where you work and the specialty.
Paramedic training or the most advanced EMT level will train you in physiology and anatomy. You'll also learn advanced medical technology that deals with assisting physicians and nurses in the emergency room. Most of the advanced EMT training and paramedic training courses will take one to two years to complete. You may end up with an associate's or bachelor's degree. This will help you prepare for the NREMT examination, so that you can become a certified professional. Even after you have graduated and taken your paramedic training examination, you may still be required to take more training courses throughout your paramedic career as a refresher. So you may want to think about which level.. You can still have many career opportunities with just the basic EMT training. If take highest level paramedic training, you'll have even more opportunities.
Every city, even Danville IL, will require you to be licensed, so your EMT training needs to be top notch and very thorough. The titles and levels of paramedic training and EMT training will vary for each state. Some states will administer their own certification programs, while others permit you to take your certification with the NREMT.
One thing to note before starting your paramedic training in Danville IL is that you should be in good mental and emotional health. You'll be dealing with life or death situations that are very stressful. You must be in good physical condition with agility and dexterity, and able to bend over, stoop and carry heavy loads. You'll also need to have good hearing and eyesight. In addition, you'll need a clean background check.
Choosing a career as an EMT or paramedic in Danville IL can be financially rewarding. The average pay scale can range from $15 to $35 an hour, or $25,000 to $50,000 a year. Obviously, the more training and experience you get while getting your EMT training, the more money and job opportunities will be available to you. If you decide to get paramedic training, then you will definitely have even more money and job prospects.

A new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll released this morning includes unsettling news for President Obama and even worse news for Republicans.
On the whole, the survey SHOWS a growing disdain for Washington politicians of all stripes:
On this Halloween, it�s only appropriate to point out that ALL Washington politicians have been cursed by the American public after the government shutdown and after the latest sparring over the health-care law and its website troubles. According to our new NBC/WSJ poll, just 42% approve of President Obama�s job performance (his all-time low in the poll), and 51% disapprove of his job ...

Megan Dunham of Half-Pint House
My husband and I met while working at a youth camp in Colorado. That year was my first. I was 19 and I spent it working in the camp kitchen. It was my husband's third and he had just joined the camp staff in a full-time capacity. Fast forward three years and we were married and both involved as full-time camp staff. Between the two of us we experienced camp life in just about every capacity you can imagine – from kitchen crew to counselor to store manager to resident camp director we pretty much did everything there is to do at camp at some point during the 10 years we worked there.
One big thing we dealt with on a semi-regular basis was homesickness in our youngest campers. The camp we worked with started off with 2nd graders and went all the way up through high school. The camp we worked at was an overnight camp that lasted a full week. Kids were dropped off on Sunday afternoons and picked up again on Friday mornings.
I'm here to tell you that not all 8-year-olds are created equally. I mean this in the most respectful way. Just because a camp says they will take an 8-year-old, it doesn't necessarily mean you should send YOUR 8-year-old. Maybe you should, but not on the merit of their being 8. If your child is emotionally ready to handle five nights away from you, then sure thing, consider it. But I'd like to challenge parents to really take stock of their child's emotional well-being before packing them up and sending them off to the mountains for a week.
Two years ago our four children were 6, 8, 9, and 11. They wanted to go to camp and we wanted to give them that experience. We had three who were old enough to attend the camp we had worked with for so many years and by this point in time they were also operating a day-camp at a nearby property that started with 1st graders. We considered sending our oldest three to the overnight camp and our youngest to the day-camp. But then we considered again. Our third daughter is very emotionally sensitive and while that has some really sweet characteristics to it, it also tends to make her seem younger than she really is some of the time. We didn't think she was quite ready for a full week in the mountains. In her case, even though she was chronologically old enough for overnight camp, we opted to send her to day-camp with her younger sister for the week.
It was a really good decision.
Now our kids are two years older and they are all attending the overnight camp. Our youngest is 8, but she's at a different place in her "8-ness" than our third daughter was when she was 8. It doesn't make one better than the other, just different. The four of them are going to have a great time at camp and we're confident that they can all handle it this year.
I'm not going to give a list of things you can do to prevent homesickness in your young camper. That's what Google is for, right? There are some common sense things you can do like making sure you've talked with your child about what they are going to experience and making sure they understand when you are coming back to get them. If your camp allows care packages to be sent, SEND ONE. Trust me on this – it's such a morale boost to kids to get a public call-out during mail time. But don't force the issue, either. Most camps discourage telephone use because it doesn't usually help a homesick camper – it tends to make things worse. If you don't fully trust the camp your child is attending to make good decisions on behalf of your child, then choose another camp that you DO trust. In our experience, most cases of homesick campers were really cases of camp-sick parents.
So choose the camp wisely and make sure your child is ready. Once those two things are taken care of, send your child off for the week to have a rip-roaring good time making friends, learning to canoe, and having the time of their lives. Because if you will let them have a great time, they probably will.

SAN JOSE -- With his team trailing by a point at halftime Wednesday night, Archbishop Mitty's JP Rindfleisch began the third quarter with a 3-pointer.
Turn outs, he was just getting warm.
The senior forward scored 21 of his 27 points after halftime to the lead the host Monarchs to a gritty 62-52 victory over Serra in a West Catholic Athletic League game.
"It was definitely gritty," Mitty coach Tim Kennedy said. "But JP hitting big shot after big shot, especially whenever Serra made a run ... "
And that wasn't all Rindfleisch did.
"I thought, defensively, he did a better job getting guys contested shots," Kennedy said. "And keeping (Danny) Mahoney and keeping (Sean) Watkins out of the paint was huge for us."
Mitty (17-3, 9-1) completed a regular-season sweep of the Padres and maintained a one-game lead over St. Ignatius in the league standings with four to play. Serra (14-6, 7-3) fell two games behind Mitty.
Despite Rindfleisch's contributions, the score remained tight and the intensity ultra high until the final minutes of the fourth quarter.
But Rindfleisch hit the shot that started Mitty's closing run.
"Our coach sets up plays for me to get open in the corner," Rindfleisch said. "My job is to shoot. All I did was I did my job for my team. I owe it to everyone to hit those shots in the corner, and our point guard, Matt McAndrews, just finds me open."
Serra grinded its way to within two points of the lead midway through the fourth when Rindfleisch answered with his fourth and final 3-pointer.
After a Serra turnover, Rindfleisch was fouled while attempting another 3. He made 2 of 3 foul shots to extend the lead to seven with 3:07 left.
The advantage reached 10 when McAndrews threw an alley-oop pass to 6-foot-8 Ben Kone in transition for a dunk.
Mitty scored the game's first six points, prompting Serra coach Chuck Rapp to burn an early timeout. The Padres quickly settled down and took their first lead, 12-10, on a jumper by Watkins.
The Padres led 23-22 at halftime, but Rindfleisch's 3-pointer seconds into the third quarter got Mitty rolling.
"That was a huge momentum shift," he said. "It got me going. It got our team going. If you hit a couple of shots, it just builds and builds, and it's hard to stop our momentum."
Mahoney led Serra with 15 points.
Mitty travels to San Francisco on Friday to play Sacred Heart Cathedral before returning home for a showdown Saturday night against St. Ignatius.
"You can never be satisfied," Kennedy said. "Of course, we just took care of business tonight, which is great, especially when we didn't shoot it well from the free-throw line and from the field. That feels good to win when you don't play as well as you want to.
"But going up to San Francisco is always an adventure. We're going to see how our guys respond."

I have running PS3 Media Server with my Samsung Smart TV and everything is working perfectly except for one thing, Subtitles.
When the MKV file is including the subtitle I can not get it to show on the Samsung TV. If I add a srt file it will still not work.
It only works if the MKV file is not including any subtitle and I have added a srt file.
Would be great if someone could help me with getting it to work with the included subtitle in the MKV file or with srt file at all times.
Thanks in advance!

<jmobautista> did you catch my message on livejournal? :D <sachac> Hmmm, gotta check... Which entry? <jmobautista> i was asking if i could add you to my friends page, as (shh don't tell sacha) secretly i admire your organization and thought-keeping skills. <jmobautista> the one right before your most recent one. <sachac> <laugh> Go ahead and add me. I'll add you too so that you can see my disorganized unkept thoughts. =) <jmobautista> to tell you the truth, after reading your lj and recent wiki entries, it got me writing again <sachac> That's good to hear! =D <jmobautista> oh, and also, i wanted to congratulate you on your relationship (i know it's late) - it caught me off guard, especially as i only found out through your latest post <jmobautista> i'm still on sacha i-will-never-have-a-boyfriend mode @_@ <sachac> <laugh> <sachac> Thanks. <jmobautista> anyway, back to topic - i really admire how you have these huge lists on your wiki - and at the end of the day you've crossed them all out. <jmobautista> in spite of everything you do, in spite of all your interests and such. <sachac> Heh. Not today--only a few non-essential things crossed out... <jmobautista> that's really admirable. even though i haven't had the pleasure of picking apart brains with you for long, i really respect that. <sachac> The lists are actually just lists of things I do, and part of my interests. <sachac> (I keep them written down because I'll otherwise forget them.

Funeral services were held Wednesday, July 25, at 2:00 p.m. at First Lutheran Church in Renville with Pastor Tom Evenson officiating.

SAN FRANCISCO -- He foreclosed on the A's pie shop. He defused the Bronx Bombers.
Now super-pitcher Justin Verlander has a new task: Stop the Giants' momentum cold in its tracks, and do it with just one arm.
Game 1 of the World Series Wednesday night may not be so critical to the Giants -- wake them when they're about to be eliminated -- but for the Detroit Tigers, it might be the closest thing to a must-win that you can have at the start of a Fall Classic.
If Verlander can't slow down the Giants, who can?
There may be no more able man in baseball than Verlander to do it. The Detroit right-hander has won his last seven starts with an ERA of 0.69. Three of those have been postseason starts in which he has allowed a total of 10 hits and two runs in 241/3 innings. He has limited opposing hitters to a .122 batting average and struck out 25 while walking just five.
Over the last two seasons, counting his 5-1 playoff mark, he is 46-14.
But a loss that doesn't count on Verlander's gaudy record is his start in this year's All-Star Game. A parade of Giants, most notably Pablo Sandoval, gave him a pretty good spanking. He hasn't forgotten.
As Verlander explained after the game, he approached that outing differently than a normal start since he was only going to throw an inning or two. He took more of a mow 'em down bullpen approach, in part to put on a bit of a show for the fans in Kansas City.
"Yeah, I tried to throw the ball hard," he said Tuesday upon the Tigers' arrival at AT&T Park. "I wasn't not trying to get people out. There's a difference. When I'm throwing 100 in the ninth, I'm trying to get people out, too. It just so happened I wanted to do it in the first and it didn't work out so well."
Little did Verlander know four months later that his inefficiency -- he yielded five first-inning runs in an 8-0 A.L. defeat -- would result in the Tigers having to open the World Series in the N.L. park.
"Do I wish it had worked out better and we'd be home right now? Absolutely," he said. "But it didn't, and we're here."
As far as the Tigers are concerned, it doesn't matter where Verlander is pitching these days. As he demonstrated against in a complete game shutout against the A's in Game 5 of the A.L. Division Series, hostile crowds and foreign surroundings don't faze him.
"In the final game against Oakland, you could tell when he walked in the door that day he had that shutdown look, the one that told you we were moving on," said Tigers catcher Gerald Laird. "Honestly, I don't care what park he pitches in, whether it's on the road or at home. You get the same Justin Verlander most every time, and that's dominant."
The Giants who saw Verlander in the All-Star Game didn't get the full package. Wednesday night, that's far more likely.
"If he's got four pitches going, you better scratch out one run because we feel if we score one or two runs, that's enough if he's on his game," said Laird. "That's how good he is."
The Tigers' other catcher, Alex Avila, said that as much as Verlander has developed his repertoire, it's his mind-set that makes him doubly tough.
"Every start, he expects to go nine innings and not give up any hits or any runs," Avila said. "That's what he prepares himself to do every time out. Obviously, that's impossible, but that's what he expects and he strives for it."
The Giant who seems to never strike out, NLCS MVP Marco Scutaro, is 5 for 23 (.217) with eight strikeouts against Verlander.
"He's a power pitcher who can throw an off-speed pitch in any count," Scutaro said. "He's many miles (mph) different between fastballs and breaking balls, and that's what makes him so tough."

A Vermont Senate committee is considering a bill that would create a farm guest worker program to allow the estimated 1,500 to 2,000 immigrant workers on Vermont dairy farms.
The bill would create a state identification for the workers and a registry of those workers that would allow them to be eligible for state services.
The bill's sponsor- Democratic Sen. Jeanette White of Windham County - told the Senate Agriculture Committee on Thursday that there's already a federal guest worker program for seasonal farm workers and for ski resort employees.
She says immigration is a federal government issue, but Vermont has always been willing to go against the federal government when "it's the right thing to do."

7 Best Haircuts for Curly Hair
Put down the flat iron. Follow these expert tips for getting a great curly haircut that will work for -- not against -- your waves
But what if we told you it's time to stand up and be proud of your coarse, sometimes unruly mane?
Before you start cursing us, here's the good part. We're not suggesting you let your curly hair run amok. Rather, we'll give you the secret to getting the most flattering haircut for curly hair.
See the 7 best curly haircuts now.
SEE NEXT PAGE: Best Curly Haircuts: Taylor Swift's Fine, Loose Curls
Best Curly Haircuts: Taylor Swift's Fine, Loose CurlsWhy the cut works: If you have fine to medium hair with loose, uneven waves, Taylor Swift's long layers are a good solution. "This cut's good for long, wavy hair that's not too tight or curly," says Mancuso. "This cut could be dangerous and a bit of a commitment for those with curlier hair." To get this look:
Step 1: Apply a mousse with conditioning ingredients through damp hair (Mancuso loves Nexxus Mousse Plus Volumizing Foam Styler, $10.99.) Mancuso recommends using a mousse instead of a curling spray, because sprays can be too heavy and will cause hair to look overly coiled.
Step 2: Blow dry hair at the roots, then use a diffuser to blow dry the ends.
Step 3: Add a defining cream to your curls. Mancuso says, "You want to define the curls, but you want to let some of the natural texture come through."
Step 4: Wrap sections of hair around a large 1-inch barrel curling iron. Mancuso likes De Fabulous Clipless Curling Rod, $150.
Best Curly Haircuts: AnnaLynne McCord's Fine, Tight Spiral CurlsWhy the cut works: If you have fine to medium hair with tight spiral curls, AnnaLynne McCord's cut is perfect for you. Mancuso says the curlier the hair, the longer the layers should be. McCord's lioness mane is tamed with defined curls and tapered at the ends with layers. To get the look, see Mancuso's tips:
Step 1: Apply a smoothing serum like Pureology SuperSmooth Smoothing Elixir, $18, and comb the middle section of your hair back.
Step 2: Blow dry hair with a diffuser, using your fingers to pull hair gently to preserve the natural texture as much as possible.
Step 3: Apply a curl cream to define pieces in the front and combat frizz that resulted from drying.
Step 4: Take a curling iron like De Fabulous Clipless Curling Rod, $150, and identify some key spots around your face that you want to dress up, says Mancuso. "Curling just a few sections of hair will give you a nice mix of spirals and softness."
Best Curly Haircuts: Andie MacDowell's Long, Thick WavesWhy the cut works: Got thick waves? Get a medium-to-long haircut with minimal layers. While Andie MacDowell's natural texture is voluminous and wavy, the long cut allows the weight of the hair to give styling flexibility, says Mancuso. "The long layers break up the hair, so that it doesn't get too heavy on the bottom." MacDowell elongated her natural texture to create a more glamorous wave that's modern enough and not the traditional "old Hollywood" style. Mancuso shares how to copy her style here:
Step 1: Apply a leave-in straightening product to loosen the waves.
Step 2: Blow dry hair with a diffuser and use your fingers to stretch your hair while diffusing it.
Step 3: Brush through hair to loosen up the curls even more and get volume.
Step 4: Apply a leave-in cream like Moroccanoil Curl Control Cream, $30, to redefine hair and fight frizz.
Best Curly Haircuts: Corinne Bailey Rae's Curly Natural HairWhy the cut works: Thick, very tight curls look fab in a shoulder-length pageboy cut with long layers at the ends. It's not quite a lob (long bob), but the cut is a length that sits right on your shoulders, which makes Corinne Bailey Rae's beautiful curls short enough to maintain but long enough to prevent her hair from getting too big, says Stephens. To get this look:
Step 1: Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair. Stephens likes Motions Nourish Leave-In Conditioner, $3.99.
Step 2: Scrunch curls to "push the curl in," says Stephens.
Step 3: Blow dry hair with a diffuser.
Best Curly Haircuts: Vanessa Hudgens' Pixie CutWhy the cut works: Coarse, wavy hair looks stunning in a pixie with long layers in the front. Vanessa Hudgens took the plunge with a pair of scissors and emerged with a short crop that took some getting used to. Without the length, her natural wavy hair became curlier. For this style, Mancuso says Hudgens worked with her natural curl and just used a blow dryer to smooth the front bangs. See his tips now:
Step 1: Apply a straightening cream to loosen the waves on damp hair.
Step 2: Using the force of the blow dryer, amp up the fluffy, natural texture of your hair.
Step 3: Blow dry your front layers with a flat paddle brush to smooth the bangs.
Step 4: Run your fingers through the back of your hair and lightly mist with a finishing spray.
Best Curly Haircuts: Jordin Sparks' Long Haircut With LayersWhy the cut works: Hair that's wavy with medium density looks excellent with extremely long layers. The layers begin at Jordin Sparks' cheekbones, which helps to give movement to the hair, says Stephens. "It keeps it sexy, instead of just one heavy length. When you don't have layers, you have a bohemian, heavy look." Stephens says this style isn't about being neat, but about creating free, movable hair. Here are her tips on how to get this look:
Step 1: Apply a leave-in conditioner to damp hair.
Step 2: Spritz a tousling spray like Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Wild Ginger Texturizing Sea Spray, $17.99, to enhance your waves.
Step 3: Blow dry with a diffuser.
Step 4: Wind small sections of hair around a medium barrel curling iron if you want your hair to look super-polished. Shake out the curls with your hands, then spritz with hairspray (we love Sojourn Firm Hold Working Spray, $24).
Best Curly Haircuts: Violante Placido's Wavy, Curly Hair With BangsWhy the cut works: If you have fine-to-medium hair with a mix of waves and curls, get a layered bob with side-swept bangs. "There's a strong line with lots of layering, which is what's keeping the curls full and soft, but not looking like a pyramid," says Mancuso. "If it was one length, it would be too heavy at the bottom." So, layering is imperative with a bob. Here are Mancuso's tips on how to achieve Violante Placido's natural style:
Step 1: Run mousse through damp hair. Try Wella Curl Craft Wax Mousse, $22.
Step 2: Comb it into the style that you want.
Step 3: Blow dry hair with a diffuser, maintaining the shape.

Most of these women don't even have curly hair...it's just wavy or has obviously been heat styled and isn't naturally curly. The cuts are good suggestions though.

Great advice. My hair's a mix of curly and wavy, as well as medium and coarse textures. It can be complicated, but once I learned how to style it, it's become my best asset!

The women in photos do not do their hair. Stylists have told me it is hard for most people to to blow dry hair to make it look great. Ones has curly hair and to do it straight takes her long time. Wonder what they look like on their days off. When their hair is not professionally styled.

I love AnnaLynne McCord's hair. I have curly/wavy hair and my hair is in layers. It gives volume and it's more manageable

AT&T, Microsoft and Nokia haven't said when the Lumia 900 will hit stores or how much it will cost, but if the flagship Windows Phone is a device you just have to have, you can now pre-order it.
Microsoft's retail stores are currently taking a $25 deposit for those looking to reserve themselves a Lumia 900 on launch day, whenever that is. The deposit offer was first reported by The Verge and confirmed to The Times on Friday through Microsoft Store employees.
Rumor has it that the Lumia 900 could launch in March at a price of about $99 on a 2-year contract, which would undercut top-of-the-line rivals such as Apple's iPhone 4S and the Android Ice-Cream-Sandwich-equipped Galaxy Nexus, built by Samsung.
In the U.S., the Lumia 900 will be exclusive to AT&T and feature a 4.3-inch display, a polycarbonate body in cyan or black, a 1.4-gigahertz Qualcomm single-core processor, 512 megabytes of RAM, 16 gigabytes of built-in storage, an 8-megapixel/720p video rear camera and a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera.
I spent a bit of time with the Lumia 900 at CES in Las Vegas last month, and the phone did look quite impressive and something I thought could sell at $150 or $200 on a 2-year contract. Check out my hands-on look at the Lumia 900 below.

A runaway teenager from Honesdale has been located in New York City.
Maddelyn Hayes, 15, was taken into protective custody Thursday by the New York City Police Department where her family was expected to travel and pick her up.
Damian Acosta, 28, the person she fled with from Honesdale, was arrested by the NYPD on an outstanding warrant for a parole violation in New York State. He remains in the custody of NYPD.
According to Sgt. Ron Kominski, officer in charge of the Honesdale Borough Police Department, police in Honesdale received information the pair were staying at a home on Winter Avenue in Staten Island, N.Y.
Honesdale officers followed up on the tip and contacted officials at the 120th Precinct of the NYPD.
At around 2:30 a.m. Thursday, both Hayes and Acosta were located in the home on Staten Island.
Kominski said a warrant will be issued by the Honesdale Police Department for Acosta. He will be charged with interference with the custody of a child, a third degree felony, and corruption of minors, a first degree misdemeanor.
Hayes was reported missing last Friday. It was reported that Hayes and Acosta had purchased bus tickets and left Honesdale. That happened at around 6 p.m. last Friday.

Globalization, Human Rights & Security
From ancient times to the modern era, women have been at the forefront of disarmament, anti-war and anti-violence campaigns. In many countries, from Liberia and Rwanda to Northern Ireland, Afghanistan and Argentina, women's activism has had a decisive impact on reducing conflict and encouraging reconciliation. Yet, women are usually absent from formal peace negotiations and processes. UNIFEM has reported that in ten major peace processes in the past decade, women represented only 6 percent of negotiators and less than 3 percent of signatories to peace agreements. With the passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1325, however, international recognition and support are growing for women as strategic partners in peacebuilding. Securing the active participation of women and girls increases the sustainability of peace efforts and contributes to long-term post-conflict recovery and reconstruction.

MANTECA - Guillermo Nunez's thrilling four-point play at the end of the third quarter started a big run that allowed No. 2 Sierra to pull away for a 71-51 win over No. 7 Auburn-Placer in the Sac-Joaquin Section Division III quarterfinals on Friday at Sierra.
The Timberwolves (25-4) will play No. 3 Orangevale-Casa Roble, a 53-47 winner over No. 6 Patterson, at 9 p.m. Tuesday at Cosumnes River College.
Leading 47-43 with 1:37 left in the third quarter, Nunez took a swing pass from Eric Melgar and was fouled by Placer's Michael McNamara as he made a 3-point shot. Nunez, who finished with a team-high 26 points, made the free throw and Sierra went on a 23-8 run that was aided by a switch to a zone defense that stymied the Hillmen (20-9) until the 4:01 mark in the fourth quarter.
"That might have been the turning point of the game," Sierra coach Scott Thomason said. "We had a couple of stops and then made some baskets after that, including a dunk by (D'ari) Allen that ignited us and may have been a dagger."
Melgar scored 21 points and Emmanuel Elijah had 14 points for Sierra.
"I got a nice pass and saw the (opportunity) for the shot," said Nunez, who made four 3s. "I was real excited on that play. We just had to be patient and take our shots and attack them with the dribble."
Placer senior Isaiah Pineiro scored 13 of his game-high 29 points in the first half. The Hillmen led 19-16 near the end of the first quarter. Pineiro scored all 12 of Placer's points in the third quarter and four in the fourth before fouling out in the final minute.
"Sierra is a quality team," said Placer coach Mark Lee, who played starting point guard Brennan Entz sparingly after the senior broke his thumb Thursday. "(Entz) tried to go for a few minutes and our backup point guard got into foul trouble early, so we didn't get into our offense very well. Our defense was weaker as well. We just couldn't stop Nunez. He was very good."
Thomason also had to manage his bench, as Allen picked up three fouls, and Elijah and Justin Patton had two fouls early in the first half.
"Our bench players, including (Izick) Espinoza and (Jonnythan) Munkholm, were able to get us to halftime with some quality minutes without any drop off," Thomason said. "That may have been just as big for us in the win.

FileMerge is one of the old NeXT Developer applications that survived into the days of Mac OS X, and with good reason: It kicks the pants off anything else when it comes to quickly going through file changes, marking them on the scrollbar, allowing you to breeze through them with parallax scrolling, and merging them with a single click.
Required OS: 10.5

I was starting to like this and the fact that it was free, but it doesn't merge folders which makes this useless to me. I've been using Changes.app now.
@sneeka2 - Agreed! For as good as Apple usually is with these things, they've really let FileMerge goâ¦
Great tool! If only it would handle UTF-8 correctly, or any non-MacRoman encoding for this matter.
It comes with the Developer tools which come with every DVD of Mac OS X.
Links now just goes to Apple main Developer page, and a search won't find the software :(
Beautiful program, and when it works it's wonderful. But sometimes it inexplicably fails to mark differences. For this reason, I usually use TextWrangler for my diffs at the moment. The moment FileMerge gets its bugs fixed, it will once again be my diff tool of choice.
