Known as early as the fifteenth century, it was reorganized as a children's festival in 1824 and has undergone further changes since. Up until the First World War, schoolboys took part in their cadet uniforms. Mandatory cadet instruction was given in the schools as a preparation for future military service.
Today's festival has a more colorful and relaxing atmosphere: bright clothes, balloons, flowers, pennants, class flags, and leaved branches characterise the parade and events on the Festplatz, or parade ground. The parade ground is situated above the old city and was purchased largely for this purpose by the local authorities. Some 8'000 children participate in the festivities. As its culinary speciality, the festival features the famous St.Galler Bratwurst, or grilled sausage, virtually a city symbol. Tens of thousands of them are consumed during the festival.

The Stetson men's soccer team (1-4-1) will look to snap a three-game losing streak on Sunday. The Hatters will travel to Virginia to challenge James Madison (3-2-0) at 1:00 p.m.
James Madison opened the year with home wins over Fordham and Binghamton before falling to UNC Greensboro in the Dukes' lone home loss of the season. More recently, JMU topped VMI 6-1 at home and then lost to #17 Georgetown on the road in overtime.
Stetson, meanwhile, lost at UCF by a score 2-0 this past Wednesday, extending the Hatters' losing streak to three games. Stetson will try to get back in the win column on Sunday before returning home on Saturday, Sept. 28 to host La Salle in the final non-conference match of the season.
Live Stats and a live audio stream will be available for fans at JMUSports.com. Fans can also keep up with the action by following @StetsonMSoccer on Twitter and signing up for the Hat-Alerts text message service.

TAHOE CITY, Calif. - I am assuming that you, kind reader, are up to speed on the devastating weather phenomenon known as "Sandy" that has recently decimated New England's coastline, forever altering its shape, and rendering tender and wistful people's memories of Coney Island Hot Dogs and - unlikely as it sounds - episodes of Jersey Shore. With more than 100 dead, property damage in the billions and 6 million+ people trying to survive in an urban setting without power, it is clear that clever as we are, human beings are no match for the force of nature.In recent years, the topic of climate change (with varying nicknames that run from sensational to inaccurate) has been debated hotly (as it were) around the world, with politicians approaching the topic as if it were subject to debate, and required someone upon whom to pin the blame. Scientists have been pressured to both spread the word, and say it ain't so.Nature doesn't work like that. This planet we call home has been here a lot longer than we have. Think about its past: Ice Age mammals (like the Giant Short Faced Bear); dinosaurs; formation of the Sierra Nevada, the Grand Canyon, the Great Basin, or go back even further to consider Pangea compared to our continents today. The harsh fact is that the planet has systems that rule everything on it including our special species. They may tax our faith, but they assert themselves anyway. Earth has seen weather conditions of high drama: They helped form the aforementioned geographic features, and they did it without human beings to get them started.So we must face the facts: Our climate is changing, and with significant effects on human life. It simply does not matter if humans made it happen or not: It is happening no matter what set it off. However, humans can do anything to reduce the negative impacts of these changing forces, doesn't it make sense that we do so? Ask any New Yorker about now: They might even be willing to trade in air conditioning in favor of fewer Sandys.The price tag might not be that high if we'll all settle down and bring the kind of effort to this problem that we brought to say, polio. Or smallpox. Technical advances might let us keep most of our comforts. But without this effort, we are simply watching the effects of climate change harm or kill our neighbors - or ourselves - as they unfold.And bear this in mind: There are no upper limits to the power nature's storms could unleash. They can get stronger than Sandy. They can wipe out human settlements. They can wipe out species (ask any velociraptor). The forces that rule the planet have the last word. It's time for us all to stop arguing and listen. Hey kids (of all ages)! Want more info?

Womens Golf: School Records Fall at Hoosier Invite
GREENWOOD, Ind. -- The Ball State women's golf team set or tied school records for low 54-hole team score, low 18-hole team score and low 18-hole individual score Sunday at the Hoosier Fall Invitational.
The end result was a fourth-place finish among a strong 16-team field with a three-round total of 888 (+36). The only teams to beat the Cardinals -- tournament champion UC Davis (+16), Illinois (+32) and Louisville (+35) -- are all ranked 41st or better in the country.
Led by Sarah Westaway and Jenna Hague, who each tied for sixth place individually, Ball State finished ahead of five Big Ten teams and the other two Mid-American Conference teams in the field, Toledo and Eastern Michigan.
Betty Chen of UC Davis finished as the tournament's individual medalist at 3-under par 210 on the par-71 layout at Hickory Stick Golf Club.
"It's nice that we played so well against higher ranked teams and that we did well against teams from the MAC," Westaway said. "It gives us lots of confidence moving forward and is a great way to end our fall season on a high note. We know if we play like this we can compete with really good teams."
The Cardinals began the day with a strong finish to the tournament's second round, suspended by darkness Saturday night, matching the 18-hole school-record score of 289. They then carried that momentum into the final round.
Hague had one hole to play on her second round when the day began and birdied it to post 5-under par 66, the lowest round ever for a Ball State women's golfer by three strokes. She backed that up with a final-round 74 to finish at 3-over 217 for the tournament.
"Jenna was pretty flawless in her middle round," Ball State coach Katherine Mowat said. "She's had chances for really low scores like that, but in that second round she was able to combine her ball striking with really good putting to convert a lot of birdies. It was a fun round to watch."
Westaway matched Hague by posting the best 54-hole tournament of her career in terms of both score and final placing. The senior finished off a second-round 72 to match her career-best score and then broke it just hours later by carding a third round of 1-under par 70. She has now finished tied for sixth and tied for 11th in her past two tournaments.
"Sarah played the golf that we have always believed was possible for her," Mowat said. "She is a phenomenal ball striker, and this weekend she played aggressively with the mindset of making birdies. She eliminated big numbers, played relaxed and played to go low."
The theme of the entire tournament for Ball State was production throughout the lineup. The Cardinals did not count a round higher than 77 all weekend, and Mary Welch and Karley Dobis joined Westaway in posting the lowest 54-hole scores of their Ball State careers.
Welch completed a second-round 75 on Sunday morning and then posted her lowest round as a Cardinal with a 73 to close out the tournament. She finished in a tie for 25th at 12-over 225 for her second consecutive top-25 result.
Dobis, the No. 5 golfer in the Ball State lineup, carded a career-low 76 in the second round and finished at 232 for the tournament. She provided a counting score for the Cardinals in two of the three rounds.
Meghan Perry rounded out the Cardinals with a score of 233. The senior improved her score every round, posting a 77 and a 76 in the final two rounds. Her 76 on Sunday was the Cardinals' final counting score and was key in Ball State holding on to fourth place.
Ball State broke the previous 54-hole team scoring record of 896 and tied the previous 18-hole record of 289, both of which were set at the UNLV Spring Rebel Invitational in March 2010. That tournament was played on a par-72 course, so both of those scores (+32 for 54 holes and +1 for 18 holes) still stand as the best in school history in relation to par.
Individually, Hague's tie for sixth place this weekend marked her seventh straight top-10 result dating back to last season. She already held the Ball State 54-hole scoring mark and a share of the previous 18-hole record entering the tournament.
The junior climbed into the top 100 of the national rankings last week, and she, along with fellow Ontario native Westaway, defeated three of the other four top-100 players in this weekend's field.
Ball State has now completed its five-tournament fall schedule. The Cardinals are off from competition until mid-February when they will return to action at the Jim West Challenge in Texas.

Shepherdstown Quakers, were pleased to see "Gun Control Resolution Shot Down" in The Journal on April 5.
As the authors of the Quaker statement on gun violence, we were gratified to see that the Harpers Ferry Town Council and the Jefferson County commissioners chose not to remain silent on this fundamental life-and-death issue. That's what we were asking in our Statement, that at least our elected officials open the discussion and see what we can do together to make our communities safer from gun violence.
We keep the children slaughtered by gun violence in the light, and before us, as we speak. We hope that Martinsburg City council and Berkeley County Council likewise not remain silent, but look deeply in their hearts and minds to find ways to balance the American right to bear arms with every citizen's right to life, to live without the fear of being injured or killed by a gun.

The Wall
Street Journal reported earlier tonight
that Microsoft was in talks to purchase VoIP company Skype for between $7
billion and $8 billion. Kara Swisher just recently
confirmed the acquisition in her BoomTown
column, starting that the deal is worth an estimated $8.5 billion.
reports stated that Google and Facebook were duking it out to get a piece
of Skype, but in the end Steve Ballmer and Microsoft's huge chest of cash put
an end to those discussions. The earlier reports also pointed to a Skype
valuation of $3 to $4 billion, so Microsoft's $8.5 billion purchase price
hopefully will bring a hefty ROI.
For those keeping score, eBay bought
Skype in 2005 for $2.5 billion. Four years later, eBay sold
a 65% stake in the company for $1.9 billion.
The first beta of Skype was introduced in 2003,
and as of December 2010, it had over
663 million registered users. The average number of monthly connected users
is much lower, however, at 145 million. And when it comes to users that
actually pay for the service, the numbers drop down to just 8.8 million.
Registered users can make Skype-to-Skype calls
and one-to-one video calls for free. Users can make Skype-to-phone calls at a rate
of 2.3 cents/minute.
Skype also offers subscription plans at a rate of 1.2 cents/minute.
We'll have to wait a few more hours until we get all the juicy
details on Microsoft's latest acquisition, but we're betting that the boys from
Redmond plan on tightly integrating Skype with Windows Phone 7 to better
compete with Google Voice.
Updated 5/11/2011 @
Well, the news is now official. Microsoft just announced
that it is acquiring Skype for $8.5 billion in cash. Microsoft says that Skype
will bolster its "existing portfolio of real-time communications products
and services."
As expected, Skype will be tightly integrated into the Xbox
360 and Windows Phone 7 platform. Microsoft is also creating a new business
division called the Microsoft Skype Division, which will be headed by Skype CEO
Tony Bates (he will report directly to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer).
"Skype is a phenomenal service that is loved by millions of
people around the world," said Ballmer. "Together we will create the future of
real-time communications so people can easily stay connected to family,
friends, clients and colleagues anywhere in the world."
"Microsoft and Skype share the vision of bringing software
innovation and products to our customers," said Bates. "Together, we will be
able to accelerate Skype's plans to extend our global community and introduce
new ways for everyone to communicate and collaborate."
You can read the full press release here.
quote: You must not realize that MS already has a video solution that makes Skype look like a telegraph. When Skype starts doing "magical" stuff in a few years people will think it is something new when it's something MS has already been doing (in Lync 2010, Livemeeting, Messenger, Video Kinect, integration with PSTN, SIP trunks, AOL, MSN, Yahoo, XMPP, etc..).
quote: What are you talking about? You think rattling off a list of loosely communications programs means MS had something better than Skype?
quote: Lync 2010 isn't even comparable to Skype!
quote: The only relevant thing on your list is Messenger, which actually relied on Skype's technology for video calls.
quote: MS can also make use of Skype's P2P networking technology which is the main differentiation between Skype and just about all other IM clients out there.
quote: 3) It gives them the unique ability to make international calls cheaply, bypassing the carrer.
quote: 4) Skype is an exciting name in the market place
quote: Only is if the carrier will let them. They will not.
quote: It has been for many years now, and hasn't led to profitability. I can't see how that will change despite new ownership and a high pricetag.
quote: - Using Powerpoint over the web similar to WebEx (replace it) and have your face on the screen via a Skype applet that is now built in. The recipients wouldn't even need to own Powerpoint to watch.

Recap of Oracle GoldenGate 12c Webcast with Q&A
By Irem Radzik-Oracle on Feb 18, 2014
Simply amazing! That's how I would summarize last week's webcast for Oracle GoldenGate 12c. It was a very interactive event with hundreds of live attendees and hundreds of great questions. In the presentation part my colleagues, Doug Reid and Joe deBuzna, went over the new features of Oracle GoldenGate 12c. They explained Oracle GoldenGate 12c key new features including:
- Integrated Delivery for Oracle Database,
- Coordinated Delivery for non-Oracle databases,
- Support for Oracle Database 12c multitenant architecture,
- Enhanced high availability via integration with Oracle Data Guard Fast-Start Failover,
- Expanded heterogeneity, i.e. support for new databases and operating systems,
- Improved security,
- Low-downtime database migration solutions for Oracle E-Business Suite,
- Integration with Oracle Coherence.
We also had a nice long and live Q&A section. In the previous Oracle GoldenGate webcasts, we could not respond to all audience questions in a 10-15 minute timeframe at the end of the presentation. This time we kept the presentation part short and left more than 30 minutes for Q&A. To our surprise, we could not answer even half of the questions we received.
If you missed this great webcast discussing the new features of Oracle GoldenGate 12c, and more than 30 minutes of Q&A with GoldenGate Product Management, you can still watch it on demand via the link below.
On Demand Webcast: Introducing Oracle GoldenGate 12c: Extreme Performance Simplified
On this blog post I would like to provide brief answers from our PM team for some of the questions that we were not able to answer during the live webcast.
1) Does Oracle GoldenGate replicate DDL statements or DML for Oracle Database?
Oracle GoldenGate replicates DML and DDL operations for Oracle Database and Teradata.
2) Where do we get more info on how to setup integration with Data Guard Fast-Start Failover (FSFO)?
Please see the following blog posts or documents on My Oracle Support:
Best Practice - Oracle GoldenGate and Oracle Data Guard - Switchover/Fail-over Operations for GoldenGate [My Oracle Support Article ID 1322547.1]
Best Practice - Oracle GoldenGate 11gr2 integrated extract and Oracle Data Guard - Switchover/Fail-over Operations [My Oracle Support Article ID 1436913.1]
3) Does GoldenGate support SQL Server 2012 extraction? In the past only apply was supported.
Yes, starting with the new 12c release GoldenGate captures from SQL Server 2012 in addition to delivery capabilities.
4) Which RDBMS does GoldenGate 12c support?
GoldenGate supports all major RDBMS. For a full list of supported platforms please see Oracle GoldenGate certification matrix.
5) Could you provide some more details please on Integrated Delivery for dynamic parallel threads at Target side?
Please check out our white papers on Oracle GoldenGate 12c resource kit for more details on the new features, and how Oracle GoldenGate 12c works with Oracle Database.
6) What is the best way to sync partial data (based on some selection criterion) from a table between databases?
Please refer to the article: How To Resync A Single Table With Minimum Impact To Other Tables' Replication? [Article ID 966211.1]
7) How can GoldenGate be better than database trigger to push data into custom tables?
Triggers can cause high CPU overhead, in some cases almost double compared to reading from redo or transaction logs. In addition, they are intrusive to the application and cause management overhead as application changes. Oracle GoldenGate's log-based change data capture is not only low-impact in terms of CPU utilization, but also non-intrusive to the application with low maintenance requirements.
8) Are there any customers in the manufacturing industry using GoldenGate and for which application?
We have many references in manufacturing. In fact, SolarWorld USA was our guest speaker in the executive video webcast last November. You can watch the interview here. RIM Blackberry uses Oracle GoldenGate for multi-master replication between its global manufacturing systems. Here is another manufacturing customer story from AkzoNobel.
9) Does GoldenGate 12c support compressed objects for replication? Also does it supports BLOB/CLOB columns?Yes, GoldenGate 12c and GoldenGate 11gR2 both support compressed objects. GoldenGate has been supporting BLOB/CLOB columns since version 10.
10) Is Oracle Database 188.8.131.52 mandatory to use GoldenGate 12c Integrated Delivery? Not earlier versions?
Yes. To use GoldenGate 12c's Integrated Delivery, for the target environment Oracle Database 11.2.04 and above is required .
11) We have Oracle Streams implementation for more than 5 years. We would like to migrate to GoldenGate, however older version of GoldenGate were not supporting filtering individual transactions. Is it supported in GoldenGate 12c?
Yes, it is supported in GoldenGate 12c.
In future blog posts I will continue to provide answers for common questions we received in the webcast. In the meanwhile I highly recommend watching the Introducing Oracle GoldenGate 12c: Extreme Performance Simplified webcast on demand.

7 Famous Zombie Movie Weapons (That Would Get You Killed)
#7. ShotgunWhy it's awesome:
The shotgun is a better anti-zombie strategy than cremation. Whatever magic makes corpses immune to bullet-holes gives up when those holes are a foot across, because even things that don't need a heartbeat find limbs quite useful. And as games like Left4Dead teach us, headshots become head-erasers.
Sixty down, 6 billion to go.
At close-quarters you don't even need to aim: pump-actions turn you into a chick-chacking death machine, while double-barrels convert a crowded hallway into an escape path lightly misted with Eau De Corpse. Undead ups the ante with a triple-barreled monstrosity which can only have been built by MacGuyver's evil twin.
You're now a zombie because:
That's 300 percent more phallic than an actual penis.
A shotgun has a worse "safe area" to "huge noise area" ratio than a Space Shuttle launch, which at least takes people places zombies can't follow. Firing a shotgun clears a few meters ahead of you while summoning everything in a mile radius to fill it again, so every shot generates a net increase of zombies.
Repeated shotgun blasts are the zombie equivalent of ringing a dinner bell. It says: There's food over there. And every time it fires there's one less zombie ahead of them in the queue. You serve by stopping to reload. The multiguns are even worse: Undead's trishotty is about as wieldy as an angry rhinoceros and even worse for your survival chances. Burning through ammo at triple the rate instead of bothering to work at aiming makes it the Hummer of guns. It's a more impractical use of multiple barrels for defense than Donkey Kong.
#6. FlamethrowerWhy it's awesome:
They're the ultimate in crowd control as long as you remember to laugh maniacally and do air quotes for "control." Because the Geneva convention doesn't give shit about zombies. Flamethrowers kick so much ass that even countries who've decided they're going to spend the next few years murdering each other -- but it's totally cool with every other country because they called it first (war is weird) -- agree not to use them.
After World War II, even the people who'd just fought through World War II thought "Jeez, maybe those things were a bit much."
The usual downside is carrying a huge flammable tank on your back but zombies can't take advantage of that. It's like an alien spaceship boss finally fighting a colorblind pilot: massively overpowered weapons and they can't see your weak point! The zombies' only advantage are numbers, and that only makes your Flamesgiving Day bonfire that much brighter!
You're now a zombie because:
Burning sucks for people because it uses up all the air (which zombies don't need) and causes incredible pain (which zombies can't feel). A real burning human body doesn't melt away like an ambulatory enemy candle, either. If you are fighting a tinder-dry undead monster which ignites like it's been wrapped in kindling, you're fighting a mummy. And dead, because all you've done is burn them down to a Cursed Charred Skeleton which is +5 invulnerable to your fire.
Zombies are gooey so you need to keep applying external flame to keep them lit, and unless you're using an oxacetylene torch you're not actually getting rid of any zombie in the process. You're just making sure they enjoy flame-grilled flesh when their burning jaws bite your face off. You'd be better off handing them primed grenades and hoping you've run away before they work out how to drop them. Oh, and since you also tend not to fight zombies in space or underwater, now the entire area is on fire and you can't see or breathe. But that won't be problem for long.
#5. Lawnmower (Braindead/Dead Alive)Why it's awesome:
Before Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson made movies for people with severe mental problems. Dead Alive is something a scriptwriter would write as a meat packing plant insurance scam, be caught because it's retarded, then found innocent by reason of insanity. New Zealander Lionel Cosgrove ropes a lawnmower onto his chest and charges into a zombie-packed hallway. This scene shreds so much disgusting fake flesh that hot dog makers consider it a motivational seminar.
Hey zombies, who's on the right side of the spinning blades?
Not you!
There are more body parts flying around than a mannequin factory, and more bodily fluids flying in larger arcs than every other video clip on the Internet put together. It goes on so long that liquefying people actually starts to get boring, which is wasted cinema, because if you've watched this movie this far you don't need to imagine what it's like to be a serial killer. The creation of oil didn't spend so long killing things into liquid. Hannibal Lecter would watch this and lose his appetite. And in some horrific movie sexism, Lionel kicks zombie limbs down the hall to where his girlfriend is doing the same thing in the kitchen, with a blender.
You're now a zombie because:Dead Alive zombification is passed on by fluid exchange so running around at ground zero of an infection-slurpee fountain is problematic. Lionel bathes in so much blood vampires in other movies start to smell him, and so much soaks into the floor that people in Madrid start hungering for human brains.
Most men only look like this after being born.
A weapon where enemies can get within headbutting range will have literal teething problems. Luckily New Zealand lawnmowers are apparently powered by a miniature black hole: the zombies queue up to reach into the whirling blades like it holds the Meaning of Death. Assuming that your zombies don't know that they're almost at the end of the movie, the only dent you'll make is carving a chest-hole into the first zombie to bite your face off. Though your shambling rotomatic corpse will be slightly better at stumbling through underbrush than your zombie colleagues.
#4. Tesla Ball (Dead Rising 2)Why it's awesome:
Anything named after Nikola Tesla has to kick electrical ass, and Dead Rising 2 uses it to kill more infection victims than the plague. The Tesla Ball reverses the polarity of a metal bingo ball: instead of keeping people alive just this side of death, it kills the shit out of them on the other. It's like the Japanese copied the boulder from Raiders of the Lost Ark, only the new version is miniaturized, electrical and completely insane.
When even a video game tells you, "Stand back, we got this," you know it's going to kick ass.
More ball-based testosterone and voltage than Zeus's testicles.
The lightning extends around three meters, meaning he's ramped two car batteries to 9 million volts. Each bolt lasts a few seconds so they're producing more electrical power than every nuclear plant in the world combined, and even more destructively. With the game selling over 2 million copies that means this sphere has killed more fictional things than the Death Star. And has no stupid flaw.
You're now a zombie because:
Chuck Greene grabs a bare metal frame carrying enough electricity to overload Cybertron with his bare hands because HELL YEAH! (Ditto Frank West In Dead Rising 2: Turbo.) They're simply too awesome to die, despite -- and this is the problem -- being the only ones who possibly could. (Well, apart from the game's "survivors," but those suicidal bat-magnets could kill themselves in a coma so they don't count.)
Electrocution kills humans because it overwrites their heartbeat and nervous system. Two things zombies aren't known for. In fact, lightning bolts is exactly how you get a pile of corpse parts to stand up and start murdering things in the first place (citation: work of Dr. Frankenstein, incomplete). This weapon would kill negative zombies. Larger currents can cause burns and cell damage, but burns are already useless and it's hard to damage a cell past "rotting."

The West Linn Planning Commission is scheduled to hold a public hearing, on Wednesday December 5, 2012, starting at 7:00 p.m. in the Council Chambers of City Hall, 22500 Salamo Road, West Linn, to consider a request for a Conditional Use and Class I Design Review for a music-oriented youth community center with accessory retail and café uses at 2015 8th Avenue (Tax Lot 100 of Clackamas County Assessor's Map 3-1E-02BA). No changes are proposed to the site or building, but these uses are conditional uses in the Mixed Use zone. Therefore the proposal requires a Conditional Use approval, and any Conditional Use approval requires a Design Review approval as well per Community Development Code (CDC) Section 60.030(B).
Conditional Use criteria are found in Chapter 60 of the CDC. Criteria for Design Review are found in Chapter 55. Approval or disapproval of the request by the Planning Commission will be based upon these criteria and these criteria only. At the hearing, it is important that comments relate specifically to the applicable criteria listed.
The complete application in the above noted file is available for inspection at no cost at City Hall or via the web site at http://westlinnoregon.gov/planning/2015-8th-avenue-conditional-use-and-design-review-music-based-community-center, or copies can be obtained for a minimal charge per page. At least ten days prior to the hearing, a copy of the staff report will be available for inspection. For further information, please contact Tom Soppe, Associate Planner, at City Hall, 22500 Salamo Road, West Linn, OR 97068, firstname.lastname@example.com, or 503-742-8660.
The hearing will be conducted in accordance with the rules of Section 99.170 of the CDC. Anyone wishing to present written testimony on this proposed action may do so in writing prior to, or at the public hearing. Oral testimony may be presented at the public hearing. At the public hearing, the Planning Commission will receive a staff presentation, and invite both oral and written testimony. The Planning Commission may continue the public hearing to another meeting to obtain additional information, leave the record open for additional evidence, arguments, or testimony, or close the public hearing and take action on the application as provided by state law. Failure to raise an issue in person or by letter at some point prior to the close of the hearing, or failure to provide sufficient specificity to afford the decision maker an opportunity to respond to the issue, precludes an appeal to the Land Use Board of Appeals (LUBA) based on that issue.

China may have to worry about clouds
of smog and black
soot due to its lax environmental policies and large scale adoption of
inefficient partial-combustion obsolete technologies, but one thing it won't
have to worry about at the 2008 Beijing Olympics this August is rain – that is if
everything goes according to plan.
China is leveraging its significant military resources to wage a war against Mother
Nature. China plans to deploy 20 anti-aircraft (AA) guns around the city, firing a steady barrage of special payloads
containing silver iodide and dry ice into cloud cover, whenever it should
appear. The Chinese hope that this novel strategy will help make the
Olympics rain free and perhaps give it a chance to show
off its military prowess.
The country is so confident in
its rain fighting powers that the 91,000-seat Olympic stadium, nicknamed
the "Bird's Nest," has no roof. The efforts are being led by
the city's Weather Modification Office, a sub-branch of the China
Meteorological Administration. The AA/rocket launcher assault is only one
phase of a three-pronged assault the Office plans to deploy against
inconvenient weather.
The first phase is detection. China will use satellites, planes, and
radar to track incoming weather. It will also leverage the power of an
IBM p575 supercomputer, which the city purchased last year. The computer
is capable of doing a modest 9.8 trillion floating point operations per second
and has enough power to accurately model by the kilometer hourly reports for
the entire 44,000 square kilometer (17,000 square mile) Beijing area.
Upon detection, the second phase will commence, starting with a barrage from 20
ground-based sites encircling the stadium. Two aircraft will also be
scrambled to spray dry ice and silver iodide into the clouds in an attempt to
stop them from reaching the stadium.
If rain manages to break through these barriers, China will deploy its weapon of
last resort: liquid nitrogen.
Aircraft will pummel the clouds with liquid nitrogen. This, according to
officials, will increase the number of droplets in the cloud, but reduce their
size, making them less likely to fall. Officials hope this last ditch
effort might hold off the clouds long enough for them to pass safely over the
stadium before releasing rain.
There is a 50 percent chance of precipitation during any day that month,
according to past trends. The games will occur during Northeast Asia's
rainy season. Zhang Qian, head of Beijing's Weather Modification Office,
warns that past results for weather modification during heavy rain haven't
always been successful. However, he optimistically mentions, "the
results with light rain have been satisfactory."
The Chinese government is working very hard to try to make the games a
demonstration in the countries newfound power and prosperity. The
government spent $40B USD bringing 120,000 migrant workers (at $130 per month)
into Beijing for the massive construction projects planned, starting in 2001. In
all, 1.5 million people will be displaced by the new construction
China, with a population of 1.32 billion, has a penchant for
excess; featuring the world's largest dam, the world's highest railroad, and in
2009, the world's largest Ferris wheel. China's weather modification
program will also be the largest in the world, when fully deployed. It
will feature over 1,500 weather modification professionals who will coordinate
30 aircraft and their crews, and a ground force of 37,000 part-time workers,
mostly peasant farmers.

I'm weepy and over tired and yet I looked inside my fridge this morning, as it overflowed with good food for my family, and the boys' new shoes, and I have so much. How could I be so sad? I'm just run down, it's all okay, really.
A bag of noodles sat at the bottom of the basement steps all day. It tumbled from the pantry down the stairs when I put away groceries this morning and every time I passed I had my hands full of laundry and meant to come back down to pick it up but something else always filled my arms, until this evening, I saw it again like it was the first time even though I'd passed it all day long. And I put it away.
Since I have been on a break from freelance writing, my jaw has been loosening its clench, and the ground feels a little more solid. Noah asked me late if I had a lot of work to do on the computer tomorrow and I said no, I am not working so I can be here more. Whatever and wherever "here" is, for me right now, it has so many meanings. I can't get these words by Sylvia Plath out of my mind, they splintered me when I came across them again:

A $3,000 matching grant from the We Live New York Livable Communities program has been approved to support creating a mural on the side of the Hollow Bistro & Brew restaurant on Main Street.
An equal amount of money must be raised to take full advantage of the grant, said Jean O'Connell, president of the Clarence Hollow Association, who applied for the funds.
O'Connell said $1,590 has already been put toward the project, so the project will receive $1,590 of the grant. An additional $1,410 must be raised to receive the rest of the grant.

NORTHAMPTON – Cooley Dickinson Hospital's MRI departments in Amherst and Northampton have each earned three-year accreditations in breast magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) following independent reviews by the American College of Radiology (ACR). The accreditation validates CDH's expertise in performing advanced diagnostic imaging studies. Breast MRI offers valuable information about conditions that may not be obtained by other imaging studies, such as mammography or ultrasound.
William McBride, MRI supervisor, said the accreditation "is an independent validation of our expertise in performing advanced diagnostic imaging studies."
The ACR gold seal of accreditation represents the highest level of image quality and patient safety. It is awarded to facilities that meet ACR Practice Guidelines and Technical Standards after a peer-review evaluation by board-certified physicians and medical physicists. The accreditation assesses image quality, personnel qualifications, adequacy of facility equipment, quality control procedures, and quality assurance programs.

A new report on the business practices of the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority offers a number of recommendations for improving the authority's bottom line, and while many of them are worth considering, one should be a last resort. It would be a shame to end the above-ground free zone on the Metro Rail, especially given a report two years ago concluding that adding those charges would produce no appreciable return.
The audit was produced by the Authorities Budget Office at the request of Assemblyman Sean M. Ryan, D-Buffalo, in response to the NFTA's plan for cutbacks in service if it didn't receive increased state aid and a fare increase.
Two of Ryan's concerns – the lack of a permanent board chairman and the NFTA's ownership of 384 acres of waterfront land – have been addressed recently. Buffalo developer Howard Zemsky has been appointed board chairman and the NFTA is in the process of selling the waterfront land to the Erie Canal Harbor Development Corp.
But the report cited several other potential changes, including eliminating the free zone on the Metro Rail and, more intriguingly, scaling back or eliminating the Transit Authority Police Department. NFTA leaders insist that the police force is critical to their operations and that while other upstate cities have no separate transit police, they also don't have the breadth of responsibility that the NFTA does: two airports, a rail line and a bus system.
Even still, the idea is worth exploring. The bottom line has to be the safety of passengers and the security of the system, but we're not sure that couldn't be handled by the Buffalo Police Department and, for the airports, Cheektowaga and Niagara Falls.
They might require an infusion of staff to those agencies, which could come from the ranks of the NFTA police, but the result could be a more efficient use of manpower and one less agency for taxpayers to support. Another alternative is to focus NFTA officers on trains, rail stations and perhaps other NFTA property, instead of having them duplicate Buffalo police functions such as issuing traffic tickets.
The NFTA seems oddly resistant even to considering the recommendations of the board. In response to a suggestion that it contract out its janitorial services to a private company, the authority issued a non-sequitur: "Clean facilities are as much a part of providing transportation service as driving a bus and negotiating an airline lease."
No one would disagree. The question isn't whether NFTA facilities should be clean, but whether a private company could do the job at a savings to the NFTA. What's the downside of checking it out?
Other recommendations include reducing or eliminating low-performing bus routes, discontinuing hiring part-time or retired employees without job descriptions or employment contracts, increasing rates for the college pass program to fares paid by the average transit rider, increasing fines for fare evasion, improving fine collection procedures to increase revenues and increasing lease rates charged to bus companies using the downtown Metro Transportation Center.
The NFTA should take a step back, thank the Authorities Budget Office for the ideas and take a close look at what makes sense in a time of dwindling resources.

Twelve years ago, Shelby Rogers was a ballgirl at the inaugural Family Circle Cup on Daniel Island.
On Saturday, as a 20-year-old ranked as the 132nd best women's tennis player on the planet, she was back at Family Circle Tennis Center signing autographs. City councilman Gary White later read a proclamation from Mayor Joseph P. Riley Jr. proclaiming Aug. 17 as "Shelby Rogers Day in the City of Charleston" during an on-court presentation.
Shelby said it all when she told a crowd under threatening skies, "This is a big honor." Her mother and stepfather were present along with long-time coach Bryan Minton. She then showed off some of her big strokes in a doubles exhibition on the Althea Gibson Club Court.
Rogers has won two $50,000 U.S. Pro Circuit tournaments in less than four months while earning wild cards into both the French Open and U.S. Open main draws. She is now headed to New York where the U.S. Open will begin Aug. 26.
She isn't concerned about who might be her first-round opponent when the draw is made next Thursday. She knows she has to beat everyone to win the U.S. Open.
Of course, that's a tall order. But not that much taller than the distance Shelby Rogers has covered since that spring day in 2001 when as an eight-year-old she presented flowers to newly crowned Family Circle Cup champion Jennifer Capriati.
Local notes
St. Andrew's Parks and Playground tennis director Phil Burke has come up with a novel plan to showcase a grass court at next Saturday's 9 a.m.-noon Lowcountry Tennis Festival. The St. Andrew's staff plans to line off and construct the court on one of the baseball fields at the complex so that participants in the free-to-the-public event on Playground Road can get the Wimbledon feel. That's a great idea.
New Citadel tennis coach Chuck Kriese of Clemson fame is planning to bring out what he calls "The Court Veterans" to help grow new life in the Bulldogs' program. Former Clemson coach Kriese said former Furman legendary coach Paul Scarpa has agreed to be a volunteer coach, while ex-Eastern Kentucky coach Tom Higgins, better known locally for his seven state championship teams at Porter-Gaud, said he "will help Chuck out." Two of Higgins' former players at Porter-Gaud will be part of The Citadel tennis program: senior Elliott Sperr as team captain and walk-on freshman Connor Grady.
The Charleston Rated Adult Championship will be held next Friday-Sunday at Charleston Tennis Center. Competition will be in 2.5-4.5 in singles and doubles. Registration is available at tennislink.usta.com/tournaments (#700009913). Contact Charleston Tennis Center (766-7401).
St. Andrew's 10-and-under tournament (online #700101913) is scheduled to start next Saturday.
Local tennis umpire Meg Farrelly will be working matches at the U.S. Open after officiating the current pro stop in Cincinnati.
Family Circle Cup general manager Bob Moran, who is also headed to the Big Apple, spent time at the sparkling complex in Mason, Ohio, where the WTA and ATP tours are wrapping up play with Sunday's finals. Moran, who was in Cincinnati to recruit players for next year's Family Circle, was shocked by Marion Bartoli's retirement announcement while he was there. "Someone told me Bartoli had retired. I thought she had retired from her match, not tennis," Moran said Saturday.
Registrations will start Monday for the Lowcountry Tennis Association's unofficial fall league tennis season. Registration is also open for the 18-plus adult singles league 2.5-4.5 through Tennis-Link. Teams must have three players registered by Sept. 2. Contact Elizabeth Forney (345-6027).

home contest on Saturday. The Hatters host Embry-Riddle at 7:00 p.m. in hopes of snapping their current two-game losing streak to open the 2012 campaign.
Embry-Riddle, of the NAIA, won its opening match of 2012, defeating Southeastern by a score of 8-0 last Saturday. Martine Olsen led the Eagles with a hat trick of goals and one assist in the victory. Embry-Riddle went 18-3-1 last season, outscoring its opponents 73-21. Olsen led the Eagles with 27 goals and 10 assists, for 64 total points.
The Eagles earned a 5-2 victory over Stetson last seson in Daytona Beach. It was the first win for Embry-Riddle over the Hatters in the all-time series between the two teams. Stetson holds a 6-1 advantage, dating back to 1999, when SU won 1-0 at home.
Stetson fans have a number of ways to follow along with the action if they can't make it out to the game field at the Athletics Training Facility on the campus of Stetson University. Saturday's contest will feature live stats and live video at GoHatters.com. Fans can also follow @StetsonWSoccer on Twitter for in-game updates.

Laughable arguments against gun control
The arguments made by some writers against improved gun control are so far off-base they'd be laughable in any other context. I am a "law-abiding citizen," as are many gun owners. To protect me, these worthies want to assure my right to "keep and bear" all the assault rifles and ammunition my little heart desires. They tell me that "the first step to tyranny" is any reasonable restriction on weapons for which no private person really has a need.
They claim it has been proven that the highest incidence of violent crimes occurs in places that have the strictest gun control laws. Where, I ask, has it been "proven"? In Canada, which has among the toughest gun control laws, and where the annual death toll to guns is about 50 souls? Even though Canadian per capita gun ownership pales in comparison to that of the United States, amazingly, there have been very few reports of Canadian government forces "kicking down the doors" of their "law-abiding citizens."
Then there's the writer who compares ferry boats, hammers and automobiles to guns. Ferry boats and cars transport people, hammers pound nails, and those items were created for those purposes. Assault rifles are created to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. Somehow, I think it might be reasonable to limit their use.

District Liaison
Problem Solving Courts
Phone: 914-824-5820
Fax: 212-457-2625
Problem-solving courts examine the issues that bring litigants into the justice system and respond with innovative approaches, including intensive judicial monitoring and the incorporation of community resources, that are designed to increase offender accountability, enhance community safety and protect the rights of all litigants while improving the outcomes of individual cases.
Adolescent Diversion Part |Drug Treatment Courts | Integrated Domestic Violence |
Mental Health Courts | Youthful Offender Domestic Violence Court | Sex Offense Court |
Drug Treatment Courts - adult, family, juvenile
A drug court involves a dramatic intervention by the court in cooperation with an entire team of specialists in social services, treatment, and criminal justice professionals in the local community. In return for a promise of a reduced sentence (or return to the home of removed children in Family Court neglect matters), appropriate non-violent addicted offenders are given the option of entering voluntarily into court-supervised treatment. The rules and conditions of participation are clearly stated in a contract entered into by the defendant, the defense attorney, the district attorney, and the court. The results have been overwhelmingly positive and drug courts have gone into operation all over the country.
Integrated Domestic Violence Court
Premised on the "one family-one judge" concept, IDV Courts allow a single judge to hear multiple cases involving the same family where the underlying issue is domestic violence. IDV Courts also aim to promote informed judicial decision-making, increase consistency in court orders, decrease the number of court appearances, and provide enhanced services to victims while ensuring offender accountability.
New York State's mental health courts seek to improve public safety, court operations, and the well-being of people with mental illness by linking to court-supervised, community-based treatment defendants whose mental illness is related to their current criminal justice involvement and whose participation in the Mental Health Court will not create an increased risk to public safety.
Youthful Offender Domestic ViolenceYouthful Offender Domestic Violence Courts ("YODVCs")operate on the model of the Domestic Violence Courts and are guided by the same mission statement and key principles. YODVCs are created in jurisdictions with high caseloads to handle exclusively those domestic violence cases involving defendants aged 16 through 19.
Sex Offense Courts promote justice by providing a comprehensive approach to case resolution, increasing sex offender accountability, enhancing community safety and ensuring victim safety while protecting the rights of all litigants. The purpose and function of sex offense courts is to promote best practices in the resolution of sex offense cases and to facilitate and enhance coordination and communication among relevant stakeholders.

Super Flea & Farmers Market in Cheektowaga may be the only place you can buy a "Ghostbusters" lunchbox, apples, tires, vacuum cleaners, jewelry, soy candles, a Lex Luger wrestling figure, purses, cheese, and coats for dogs, as well as get a haircut while you're at it.
The only thing the Walden Avenue market and its more than 200 vendors have been short on this holiday season is customers.
Aisles at the flea market, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, used to be packed on the weekends before Christmas. People would line up outside the doors, located a half-mile – and a world away – from the glitzy Walden Galleria.
Vendors think the downturn has a little bit to do with the economy and a lot to do with plans to demolish the building and construct a Walmart on the site. They fear that many would-be customers believe that Super Flea already has become a memory of Christmases past.
"People have got to know, we're still here," said Betty Sleger, who has run Betty's Gifts at the market for more than 25 years.
She used to make $500 to $700 a day at her store. "Now $100 is a good day," she said.
Sunday, it was easy to navigate the narrow walkways between booths filled with wares. Many of the customers were regulars, including Jean Claude Wouters of Buffalo.
"A lot of people think it is closed," Wouters said. "As long as it's open, I'm going to keep coming."
Benderson Development Co. opened the flea market in 1975 after buying the property from G.E.X., a now-defunct chain of discount stores.
Vendors said the downturn started about three years ago, when a small fire forced the closing of Super Flea for several weekends.
Since the fire, "it's not the same," said Jay Fuentes, who repairs jewelry from his stand near the front door. A sign of the slowdown was evident, as half a dozen vendors had the time to gather Sunday afternoon at his jewelry case and talk with a reporter.
There was word about two years ago that Super Flea would move to Garden Village Plaza Market Place on Union Road to make room for a big-box store, which turned out to be Walmart. The giant retailer plans to move from its Thruway Plaza site to 2500 Walden, where the Super Flea is now. That is not expected to happen for six months or more, but no one knows exactly when. The Walmart project is under review by the Town of Cheektowaga, and the Town Board must approve the site plan.
"Vendors will be moved to the Market Place," Town Supervisor Mary F. Holtz said. "I don't want to hurt those businesses."
She said the preliminary plans for the Market Place from Benderson, which owns both locations, are "absolutely great."
What Walmart has given Super Flea for Christmas, said Chuck Zarbo, owner of Silver Kaleidoscope. "is basically … the death sentence."
"A lot of people depend on the little they make here to supplement their Social Security," said Lois Tomasello, who has run the Gift Center for about nine years. Given that Christmas season can be make-or-break for many businesses, "a lot of booths … have closed up" at Super Flea, she said.
It got so bad that 57 vendors pooled their money and bought advertising time on radio. For the moment, "we're OK," Zarbo said, "but we're dying in here."

This season's most controversial rose-getter, Tierra LiCausi, told her fellow contestants on The Bachelor that if she wanted to get engaged, she could. "Men love me," she proclaimed shortly before her ousting.
True enough: Tierra, 24, is engaged, Wetpaint Entertainment has confirmed. So who's the lucky guy?
Courtesy Tierra LiCausi
"It's someone she had been seeing before the show. They've known each other three or four years," her brother Tyler explained to Wetpaint.
"Unfortunately, they had a bad breakup. When that happened, she signed up to go on The Bachelor. Right after she left to film, though, he had a huge change of heart and wanted to get her back."
What's more, the couple's relationship was rekindled the same day that Tierra's TV love interest, Sean Lowe, sent her home, says her brother. (Her now-fiancé flew to St. Croix where Tierra was filming and they decided to rendezvous in Denver).
"That was in November," adds Tyler. "He proposed in January ... they're doing great."
Looks like there will be plenty of material for The Women Tell All!

Best For Medium To Thin Hair Types!
Highly recommend this diffuser for anyone with thin to medium curly hair. I tried it on my daughter who has thick hair and it easily collapses with the weight of her hair, but still works. No problem fitting it on any of our 3 hair dryers. Great design and super efficient for traveling. Just took a trip to Italy and my new diffuser was the perfect travel companion!

Great For Travel, Difficult For Daily Use
I think the design of this is brilliant because it stores so flat! Great for travel! However, the collapsible feature that makes it so cool is also what makes it so difficult to use. It's always collapsing while using it! I'm used to a hard plastic diffuser and I dry my by laying the hair into the diffuser. With this one, you need an EXTREMELY light touch because the slightest touch of the diffuser causes it to collapse. It's also hard to get on the dryer and keep on. I popped off several times and I think now I have it on so that it won't pop off but that darn collapsing feature ... sigh. I'm unsure I will stick with it, to be honest. But, it's super sleek and easy to travel with so if that's a goal -- this is good for that!

When you talk to area baseball old-timers about Jack Sloey, there's one common description from former teammates and opponents: He was a hard-nosed player and a competitor.
Sloey, who passed away recently at the age of 83, was a standout in the early days of the George B. Kelley Amateur Baseball Federation and, after a stint in the U.S. Navy and a couple years of pro ball, spent several seasons in the Altoona Greater City League as well as other semi-pro leagues in the area.
Sloey grew up in the Fairview section of Altoona and was the catcher for the 11th Ward team which won the Kelley Federation's first championship in 1948. Some of his teammates included Gene Bates, Bill Crownover, Bob Donaldson and Tip Clouser.
According to the Altoona Scrapbook of Baseball Memories Circa 1900 to 1960, written by Herman R. Nagle, Sloey was urged by former major leaguer Tommy Irwin to sign a pro contract with Reidsville, N.C.. He later played in the Coastal Plane League and his contract was purchased by the Durham Bulls.,
While in the Navy, Sloey played on a Bainbridge, Md., military team and competed against big leaguers Willie Mays, Dick Groat and Johnny Antonelli, among others.
After the service, Sloey returned to Altoona and played in the City League, playing for Fairview, Juniata, PNA, Apprentices and Tyrone.
"Jack always showed up to play, compete and win," said Dick Nedimyer, who was both a teammate and opponent of Sloey for many years in the City League. "I think his uniform was dirty before the game and I think he must have worn his hat to bed, that's how much he loved to play."
Nedimyer noted that Sloey would play any place, "he just wanted his name in the lineup."
Nedimyer also recalled that Sloey loved to break up double plays, a fact that didn't escape former City League infielder Charley Hess.
"My first game in the City League I played for Juniata," Hess said. "Jesse Campbell and I were the middle infielders and Jesse told me before the game that if he [Sloey] comes into second on a double play 'you better get out of the way.'
"Jack and I later were teammates," Hess said, "and he was a great guy to play with. He knew the game and studied it. He played third base at the time and he would always talk to me and inspire me. He was always positive and wasn't afraid to speak his mind. He was a real good teammate."
According to City League records, kept by the Frank Eby, Sloey was Fairview's top hitter (.304) in 1951 and batted .358 in both 1954 and 1955, .351 in 1956, .327 in 1960 and .340 in 1963. He led the league in RBIs (28) in 1963 and shared the lead in doubles (eight) with Jack Morgan . Bob Nassif also played against Sloey in the City League in the early 1960s.
"I played against him early in my career," Nassif recalled. "He was hard-nosed and played the game in the right way. I enjoyed playing against him.
"When I was playing third, I cringed whenever he came to the plate," Nassif said. "He and Sam Miller were dead pull hitters and I hated to see them bat.
"Jack was a class guy," Nassif added. "He was a gentleman with his teammates and with others."
Sloey, who is survived by his wife, Dolores, and sons Doug and Jeff, volunteered for several organizations and took a leadership role in the Blair County Old-timers picnic, which is held each summer at DelGrosso's Park.
