PLATTSBURGH, N.Y. (AP) — An 18-year-old visiting student from China who was fatally struck by a car in November has been buried near his northern New York school.
Chu Xiong (Chew ZHAHNG') and another international student, 17-year-old Dat Ong, were struck by a car and killed on Nov. 15 while walking along a rural road in the Plattsburgh area. Chu and Dat, who was from Vietnam, had been living with a local host family and attending Seton Catholic Central School in Plattsburgh.
Chu is now buried at St. Peter's Cemetery in a plot facing the school. Derek Payne, director of the International Student Association at Seton, told the Plattsburgh Press-Republican that Chu's parents considered how much their son loved this country, the area and the school.

Bungling Boeing
Can anyone name anything that Boeing has built on time within their bid price and without major flaws? They even screwed up a small part of the fence on our southern border. And we expect them to build planes?
Fairhope in good hands
It seems that many Fairhope citizens continue to drink that stale old Kool-Aid from years past. Open your eyes, peel away the smoke, mirrors, fuzzy math and political spin. I believe you'll find that the city of Fairhope is in more capable hands and a far better financial position than in years past. Let's thank the City Council for putting us on a new path to financial responsibility.
Sports would suffer too
For the people who want a private Fairhope school system: They need to realize if they cut half the enrollment, that means they're going to cut half the football team and the Fairhope football team will no longer be 6A, it'll probably be 3A.
Fairhope can do it
Don't you people get it? The Fairhope City Council would not be running a local city school system. A school board and superintendent independent from the City Council would be running the schools. Just think. Do you like Fairhope Utilities? The Fairhope Public Library? The Nix Center? The new rec center? If you do, raise your hands. Let's make the new schools equal to all that. Just food for thought.
Wanted: Good neighbors
About people's animals: When people's animals do damage to other people's property, the owners should be decent enough to pay for the damage their animals have caused.

I'm an independent who voted for Obama because I felt my only other choice was not to vote. I thought nothing could get any worse than the Bush administration. Well, it has, and a lot worse.

John Kiruga visited Warren last week and shared a brief retrospective on his mission work in his home country of Kenya and his hopes and prayers for the future of church planting with the Evangelical Covenant Church of Kenya (ECCK). He spoke Thursday at Pleasant Community Church in Pleasant Township.
Kiruga and his wife, Freshia, and their sons, Ian and Lenny, have spent time in the coastal areas of Kenya, sharing Christianity with the primarily Muslim citizens there.
Their future holds more of the same.

Missionary John Kuriga
Sharing the Gospel in song at a Kenya ECCK
church Kuriga helped to establish
"For the next five to six years our prayers are to plant (establish) two churches near Nairobi," Kiruga shared.
Kiruga shared his work in words and pictures, trying to help the people of Warren County get a feel for this area of Kenya, Africa, so many miles away.
More than 10 years ago, Kiruga said God called him to church planting. In 2002, he was commissioned in Mombasa to undertake a church planting project in Lamu Island, and in two years the church was stable with leaders who continue with the work Christ started. In 2003, they started the first church in Manda Island. Since then other churches have come up and Manda ECCK has grown strong. In 2004, Kiruga and his family shifted to the mainland, and in May of that year planted a church in Mpeketoni, a resort town on the coast of Kenya. The work took them five years.
Only one month ago, in June, a group of Somali extremists attacked Mpeketoni for hours, killing non-Muslims and "those who didn't know the Somali language," according to an Associated Press report. "At least 48 people were killed and two hotels were set on fire. Police said Somalia's al-Shabaab Islamist group was most likely to blame for the assault."
"They came to our house at around 8 p.m. and asked us in Swahili whether we were Muslims. My husband told them we were Christians and they shot him in the head and chest," said Anne Gathigi of Mpetetoni, according to the AP report.
Another resident, John Waweru, said his two brothers were killed because the attackers did not like that the brothers did not speak Somali.
"My brothers who stay next door to me were killed as I watched. I was peeping from my window and I clearly heard them speak to my brothers in Somali and it seems since my brothers did not meet their expectations, they sprayed them with bullets and moved on," said Waweru.
Kiruga has not experienced such savage violence personally, but in 2002 - in the beginning of Kiruga's personal efforts to share Christianity - he and other ECCK workers were attacked by several boys throwing rocks.
"I responded with love, rather than hate," Kiruga explained, because "I realized I was now having an impact. I decided to do much more."
Kiruga, who generally had worked without the help of his family, decided in 2011 that he could no longer be without them.
"I cannot work without my wife around," he said. "I cannot work without my boys around."
His wife, Freshia, works in children's ministries and is involved in prayer networking in the ECCK mission.
Mostly "she helps me understand," Kiruga said, smiling
Kiruga will return to Kenya to continue sharing Christianity and planting churches for new believers. The ECCK also provides a medical team that goes into the villages surrounding each church-planting project for those who cannot afford to go to the hospital if they become ill.
"We are touching a lot of people," Kiruga said.
Aaron Reinard, youth and worship pastor at Pleasant Community Church, was happy to host Kiruga last week.
He explained Kiruga's visit was not just about supporting the mission financially or about the partnership they have with ECCK, but that we, the church, the United States, "we are locked into our own little small world," Reinard said. Kiruga's visit helps us remember "we are part of something bigger. We are brothers and sisters in ministry. They need our help, to converse with, to share with. It is important to be partners like this."
Kiruga will continue his mission with all his energy because he believes in the cause.
"I believe in church planting," he said. "A church that is not coming out to plant another church is dying."

Name* Email* Your name* Your email* Comments Submit OTTAWA - Canada's veterans living in long-term care facilities will be feeling the love from across the country with the delivery of special valentines created by fellow Canadians. More than 20,000 valentines were received by Veterans Affairs Canada for its annual Valentines for Vets program. The idea started in 1989 when the late newspaper columnist Ann Landers encouraged readers to create special valentines for veterans in care facilities throughout North America. Veterans Affairs Canada became involved with the program in 1996. Veterans Affairs spokeswoman Heather MacDonald says many of the valentines are created by schoolchildren, and were sent to their head office in Charlottetown to be sorted for distribution in time for Valentine's Day. MacDonald says the valentines are sent to about 2,000 long-term care facilities. "It really just shows how Canadian schoolchildren are remembering veterans not just during Veterans Week and Remembrance Day but all year long and especially on Valentine's Day," she said.

Nvidia throws itself under the bus with chip defect, delays and lost sales
Nvidia issued some somber news for shareholders today, revealing a financial forecast cut short due to slowing sales, a delayed ramp for new product, and a hefty payout due to faulty laptop chips. The graphics giant said it expects to pay between $150m and $200m to cover warranty, repair, return, replacement and other costs …
Good news relatively speaking?
1 - N's shareholders shudder a little
2 - N's customers jump with joy
Of the two extremes option 2 probably avoids N going into disrepute, maintains the brand/corporate identity & standards so I guess it looks as if shareholders will have to bite the bullet and invest trust in N's technical wizardry.
HP Pavilion dv9030ea
My laptop was affected by this. It uses Nvidia GPU+Turion. HP did extend warranty for certain models/serial number range and they have fixed this for free (although I specifically asked about extended warranty for this model and I doubt I would get it otherwise)
What I have noticed is motherboard revision changed after laptop was returned to me. Original laptop used Apollo rev1 (which I guess is mobo code-name?) the new one had rev5
Wah Wah Waaaaaaahhh......
...you know, that noise you get in some cartoons when someone badly fails. Some people argue it is 4 Wah's, but it depends which cartoon you watch :)
Basically Nvidia = FAIL in this particular case
Interesting. My wife's laptop is the dv6174ea, and that seems to crash in graphics intensive tasks (World of Warcraft, intensive for this laptop it seems).
Wonder if that's affected as well - time to go check the HP website.
Intel inside ( I guess I can breathe easy)
Makes me glad (for now) that I've got 'Intel inside'
@ kenneth
yes, your intel inside defines a new standard in SHITE graphics. well done!
seriously mate intel graphic chipsets are terrible compared to nv or amd. steer well clear or face crap colours and a blurry display! not to mention horrendous 3d performance
dell xps 1330
I think Dell xps 1330 is also affected. My laptop has been repaired by Dell twice, the graphics display just corrupted and dell support come and change the mainboard. I have another same failure less then 3 month after the first replacement. Hopefully they have fixed the problem so that I don't need a third time change.
I suspect it is the heat cause the chip to fail since I almost running it 24x7 and sometime the laptop can run very hot.
excuse me but..
Would that be the blunderbus, then?

UK Spell Checker
It's "sombre" in the good old United Kingdom, chaps. It may be a US story but it's still a British website (I hope!). Maybe I should charge a pound a word for corrections? I'd be up to two quid by now.
Re: UK Spell Checker
Futureboy - our American colleagues always publish articles on this site in US English, and so I'm afraid it is 'somber' after all. Keeps things interesting, no?
I mean, I know this is my job and everything but um, there are more important things oh God I can't believe I just admitted that to myself and the internet.
Re:Re: UK Spell Checker
Good heavens woman! More important things than the Queen's English? I need to go and have a lie down. Now, where's the "Shocked to the very core of my being" icon?
TSMC to blame?
I thought they said it was a poor material choice in the packaging.
That would mean that the fault would lie with Nvidia choosing the wrong material set for their product. I don't think TSMC do the packaging for them anyway, TSMC only provide a prototyping packaging service, they're just a wafer foundry and for volume product would ship whole wafers to an assembly house like, Amkor or Carsem or ASE or STATs etc etc.
Unless of course TSMC didn't passivate the Die properly or there was a problem with any stress relief (polyimide) coat that TSMC would have placed over the die.
Either way it's bad news for Nvidia.
They have driver problems as well
I've got an NVidia GeForce 7900 GTX in my tower system, and its fan screams at top speed whenever Vista awakes from sleep mode. The only way to shut it up is a reboot. NVidia have known about this problem for over 12 months, but don't seem capable of fixing it, so I'm not surprised they're in trouble.
Re: Re:Re: UK Spell Checker
Of course I don't really believe that. You and I both know I would step over my own gran to get to an errant apostrophe.
RE: xps m1330
Another victim of the XPS M1330 issue here, my work lappy decided to re-decorate itself with some lovely multi-coloured lines. Lovely!
Before that the GPU was reaching temps of nearly 90c (not sure why, VMware doesn't use the GPU...), needless to say that when I got the repaired machine back I underclocked everything and now run my VMs on ESX.
@ UK Spell Checker
The real problem is that they call it English.. it might be derrived from, but the Merkinisation really makes it totally different. they really should drop the 'English' pretence, but until they do... Solder has an 'L' in it try pronouncing it, or we'll set the soddiers on you!
That's odd....
...I *just* worked on a Dell XPS laptop yesterday with the Nvidia 7900 Go video chipset. The video is failing... all kinds of artifacts on the bios screen and XP will load but not display unless it's in VGA mode....
Got to call India... I mean Dell today.
Sigh.... sure would be nice to know what chipsets are affected... bastards...

response to Liam.......
Everything relative, I guess. My laptop is a business, not a gaming tool, so
3D performance is not an issue. But if what you want is high-end laptop graphics, then I agree that you won't find them with an integrated Intel chipset.
@Sarah Bee
"I would step over my own gran to get to an errant apostrophe."
I think I'm in love.
this time they couldn't use Plan A
Nvidia have a long history of releasing broken hardware+driver combinations and a history of simply disabling broken features instead of fixing them. Over the years I've seen sound,firewall and basic network acceleration disappear, features that never worked well and seemed more about brand promotion than any real effort to deliver working hardware. Right now I've just ended 16 months without graphics driver updates waiting for them to restore even basic functionality to that went MIA.
Nvidia seem totally isolated from end-users, they just dont feel any need to fix problems those users have or really support old hardware when shiny new toys come along for the engineers to play with.
This time they can't just disable features for a quick 'screw the punters' fix - though I bet they tried.
If I remember correctly their original sound cards/chips were a massive success including 5.1 decoding etcetc.
Can't say their sound devices were a failure, just dont understand completely why they stopped, maybe it was standing in the way of monopolising graphics industry I dont know.
but you can't tar Nvidia with such a brush without even glancing at the horrors from other camps.
Intel made the i740, that was the last decent graphics to come out of that camp.
Ati's drivers became unusable when they added opengl capability
I had a 4mb xpert@play at the time! :)
Ati's Rage cards................I am not going to say anymore as I still have nightmares.
Matrox, seemed to refuse to try and keep up, and became specialist, the amount of patches you had to apply to programs and games just to get them to work with matrox cards was amazing.
Some games almost had their own matrox version.
via/sis et al, well they filled what intel fills now market wise.
and finally, at least Nvidia are taking the hit.
Fujitsu just pulled out of the desktop hdd market when their cirrus logic chips had hot dates.
and the electrolyte scandal also cost me and many others much money, when even well respected vendors got caught out with bad capacitors.
any incorrect grammar/spelling is purely down to me being a foriegner :)
@ Sarah Bee
I am in love too. What are you doing tonight? I have a 15,000 word Thesis to proof read... ;)
Re: @Paul
No idea about ATIs driver's since I use open-source driver's. The card's seem fine to me, though Ive been careful to pick one's which are supported (thing's are definitely improving in that respect). Intel graphic's hw tend's to be a bit slow but fine otherwise (curiously, faster for Xv textured video than the oldish-but-fast-enough ATI hw that I use), and nVidia… no, I refuse to be limited to whatever kernel version's they support, so Im completely unaffected by this problem :-)
Mines the one on the apostrophe-shaped hook.
@Graham Wood
This is exactly how it started with my laptop. First it started to hang every now and then later number of "hangs" started to raise and finally it just refused to boot.
If you google for it you'll see this is very common failure for these laptops. I think cooling system efficiency degrades with time (dust etc.). Combined with material weaknesses for some Nvidia chips and voila ! System fried...
Good news for AMD/ATI
Hi, since AMD bought ATI I don't use nVidia anymore personally. I won't sell Intel since the antitrust issues(which I have experienced). This will help sell more ATI GPU and the new Fusion CPU/GPU and more Hybrid Crossfree configurations.
@Thought About IT
"I've got an NVidia GeForce 7900 GTX in my tower system, and its fan screams at top speed whenever Vista awakes from sleep mode. The only way to shut it up is a reboot. NVidia have known about this problem for over 12 months, but don't seem capable of fixing it, so I'm not surprised they're in trouble."
Not suprising it does that--quit running Vista, since the 7 series were designed deep in the XP era. I've got a 7800 myself, on a good XP machine, and it *defintely* doen't make a huge amount of noise. (I have like 5-6 hooked up in it for max cooling and nice glowy effects. Need to kill the blue one, though--that came with the power supply...)
I'm also hearing impaired, so that could be a factor, too...
kinda OT, however
ATI Rage Fury Pro 32MB AGP still working great on this PIII 677 .. still driving the 2 Voodoo 2s (1998 12MB reference 3dfx boards) SLI fine too for the 10 year old games I still play
.. and a 7600 GT 512MB AGP has greatly extended the gaming usefulness of my not-so-old P4 3.0 HT XP machine too, solid stuff for WoW or IL-2, quiet as well
.. 200MMX still boots up fine, 1982 brown case C64 too !
point is, a CPU or GPU should basicly last *forever*
design and/or QA/testing problems like this getting out in the marketplace en masse is nearly inexcusable
OT also
I may rebuild a 200 MMX or a 233 this weekend, why cuz (lol) my other 1.8Ghz PC has a NVidia chipset which myspace/facebook stuff overheats.
HP DV / Compaq V series update.
HP released some information at http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c01087277&lc=en&cc=us a while ago with a firmware update to increase the duty time of the fan.
As a precaution for all laptop owners - it's a good idea to locate the cooling fins on the side of your laptop every few months (where the warm air blows out); pick up your laptop and blow hard into that area - like a huge mouth organ! (Just don't breathe in immediately after.) You should see a small cloud of dust escape from the fan.
Is that semicolon supposed to go before or after the bracket?
HPs are badly affected
Mine died yesterday, first the wifi chip stops showing in the windows hardware manager intermittently (it's on top of the GPU is some models), then the GPU blows.
From my own (possible incorrect) detective work, the common Nvidia based HP DV9xxx and DV6xxx are series that are significantly affected. In the US they extended the free warranty another year, but only for certain models, and this doesn't seem to be the case in the UK.
For the US:
I'm going to try and get mine fixed free of charge as it's only 16 months old despite being in the UK. The typical symptoms (wifi dies, then GPU goes - 1 long beer and 2 short beeps) can also be found here:
Watchdog may also be picking this one up....
>From my own (possible incorrect) detective work, the common Nvidia based HP DV9xxx and DV6xxx are series that are significantly affected. In the US they extended the free warranty another year, but only for certain models, and this doesn't seem to be the case in the UK.<
Actually the UK is covered. I got an email (two months or so ago) about my Presario V6000 saying the warranty had been extended free for another year - so glad I registered it. But, touch wood, I've experienced no issues so far (about 11 months old), except for the 'i' key not always being immediately responsive.
>wifi dies, then GPU goes - 1 long beer and 2 short beeps<
Good to know what to look out for tho' as HP isn't that clear as to why the warranty was extended - or I'm thick.
15 000 word thesis...
I'll up your 15 000 word thesis with a 162 000 word general chemistry textbook.
Re: 1 long beer and 2 short beeps
Shouldn't that be "1 long beer and 2 short burps"?

BELCHERTOWN -- Last year, Agawam Little Leaguer Matt Hotaling and his parents made the 40-minute drive to Belchertown to take batting practice at Hulmes-Warner Field. Hotaling had some practice to do if he wanted to accomplish his goal – to hit a homer over the Green Monster.
Wednesday night at Hulmes-Warner Field, otherwise known as Mini Fenway, Hotaling hit the blast he had pictured himself hitting. The third baseman drilled a line shot well over the towering wall in left field to spark his team's comeback extra-innings win over Belchertown 7-6.
"I thought it was a dream," Hotaling said following his homer.
Hotaling is not the only Western Massachusetts youngster to dream of hitting a homer over the Mini Fenway Green Monster. That was part of the idea when Belchertown began building the field in 2005 – to make its very own Field of Dreams.
"We needed more fields," President of Belchertown Little League Paul Anziano said. "We thought, 'If you're going to build a field, why not go all out?'"
The organization looked at the two other Fenway replicas – one in Freetown and one outside of Worcester – to help create the design for the field. The dimensions are 65 percent of what they are at Fenway Park and the field has the same signature features as Fenway, including the Green Monster, the 'hockey boards' right field corner and a foul pole just like Pesky's Pole.
It is not all about the spectacle, though. Part of the deal between the town and the Department of Developmental Services was that a team was created for kids with disabilities.
Since it was finished in 2006, Belchertown's ballpark has been the premier ballpark in Western Mass and is the hotspot for several tournaments. The town even installed lights last year, so the kids can play in night baseball games like the one Wednesday night. That makes every home game a treat for the kids of Belchertown.
"The kids are spoiled," said Belchertown coach Jon Endelos. "They get to play here every week starting in April. Other teams come here and it's like they'd died and gone to heaven playing on a baseball field.
"It's a beautiful place. We love playing here."
For teams like Agawam, traveling to Mini Fenway is the kind of game the players circle on their calendars. This year's game was even more special, as it was the first time the team had played a game under the lights.
Agawam fell behind 5-0 in the first inning, and was perhaps a little overwhelmed with the scenery according to coach Jerry Smith. The awe did not last too long, however, as Agawam scored seven runs over the final five innings while limiting Belchertown to just one.
After Hotaling's homer over the Green Monster, cleanup hitter Andrew Sullivan hit a towering two-run shot over the wall in center field. Hotaling factored in again later when he hit the game-winning sacrifice fly in the top of the seventh inning. The two kids' favorite baseball players are Dustin Pedroia and David Ortiz, respectively, so homering at Mini Fenway was an extra special experience.
"I thought it was amazing," Sullivan said. "It was the best feeling ever."
As for how often homers happen at Mini Fenway, Anziano estimated eight to 10 homers were hit there per season. Seeing two come from one team in one game was something pretty rare. If there was any time for Agawam to put on that kind of offensive show, though, it was the night they played at Mini Fenway.
"It's special," Anziano said. "It was a great game. 7-6, you can't ask for a better game. You see the sportsmanship from both teams, that's what's good about it."

Deleting of pages....
Hi glad you love the series Raze1 along with Dark Perseus and Courtney i'll gladly help you but the thing to know is what pages do need to be deleted and which do not. Obviously pages like a misspelling of a character's name that isn't mentioned ever in the series e.g. calling Kronos by the name he was called in the myths Cronus. Pages that don't say anything at all or useless categories like Last Olympian events stuff like that. I'll gladly help whenever i can and i'll help teach you which pages need to be kept and which do not. Hope i can be of service. TheGhostMan May the Underworld protect your soul when you enter. 21:53, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
info box
okay so to get the user boxes on your page you have to go onto a page with a user box. dont go to the percy page cause it is complecated. click edit at the top of the page. you will see 2 puzzle peices at the top of the page. scroll over them. when you see the user box click on that puzzle peice, copy it and put it on your page. or you could give me your info and i will do that for you. either way. hey i noticed that you didn't sign the message you sent me. next time you should sign a message to avoid confusion for users. to sign a message on a talk page u use 4 ~ of those or u can click on the signature button near the top along the part where it says 'bold, italics, underline, etc.' u will find 'signature' and u click that and the 4 ~ will show up. u dont need to sign blog posts cause they hav a different format. and NEVER sign the articles. good luck Courtney~Daughter of Water 22:44, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
PIctures by John Rocco are official, book covers, images in the official material (demigod files, books, the Rick Riordan website, movie[s]). Statues are also official if a real image can not be found. fan art is mot allowed and paintings (with few exceptions) are not allowed. it can all be found in the Image Policy. Lastly, please remember to sign your comments. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 21:58, April 4, 2011 (UTC)
Hi, Raze1. Here at Riordan Wiki, when adding categories we never add index categories. They're just there to make things easier for browsing. These categories (ex. Locations, Characters, Series, etc.) only hold other categories. Also, we categorize locations by books (ex. Category:The Lightning Thief places and Category:The Lost Hero places), and characters by book (ex. Category:The Lightning Thief characters, Category:The Titan's Curse characters, Category:The Lost Hero characters, etc.). Please refrain from using the index categories, creating new categories without admin approval (they're red links), or adding unnecessary or inappropriate categories. (ex. Clarisse wouldn't be an antagonist, because she "does" fight for the Olympians).
If you have any questions please contact an active Admin.
Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything!
Please do not make up categories.
please stop added categories, and then immediately removing it. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 18:18, April 16, 2011 (UTC)
Stop making stupid categories and then instantly removing them to get the badge count up. Do it again i will ask Supernado or tbua to ban you for good. Little baby telkhine. Tick Tock-Feed the Croc 18:21, April 16, 2011 (UTC)

I dont know why they wouldnt trust me and just to let you know, you forgot to sign your comment. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 23:48, April 20, 2011 (UTC)
The admins only block anon's when they dont make good edits. The fact that there is a cap for unregistered users is more of a way to get people to want to make an account. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 23:16, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Except even anon's arent completely anonamouse as if you click on their name, it will show there IP address which can be used to identify them. It would actually be better to make an account so people cant see your IP address. They would even call it Anon1111. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 22:15, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
You're welcome. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 22:20, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
From what I understand, the clock for this wiki doesnt reset at exactly 12 o clock. I think where I am (East Coast of the US) it resets around 7:00 PM so even if you think you only contributed for 4 days, you might of made an edit or left a message or something on that fifth day. Darkcloud1111~Fastest Hero Alive 00:27, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
meh? I don't even know what you're talking about. And SIGN YOUR NAME, IF YOU ARE AN ADMIN. Athletiger Talk~I solemnly swear that I am up to no good 15:39, July 13, 2011 (UTC)
Good bye
I checked some of the messages you sent to the other admins and you seem more like you're trying to show off than actually give a farewell message. I consider it very rude considering even after you told people not to trust me, I still answered your questions and offered to help you out.

Tyler Farr Talks About Sold Out Vapor Show And 'Redneck Crazy' [AUDIO]
Tyler Farr took a moment to chat with us on his way to Vapor at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
Tyler Farr took a moment to chat with us on his way to Vapor at Saratoga Casino and Raceway.
In all my years on WGNA I have always loved how caring and giving our listeners are...UNTIL NOW!!! You're love of causes and helping people is making me fat!
I had my sister on the show this morning and asked her just how far she would go for $1 million! That is an awful lot of money!
Here's what she said...
This year will mark the end of an era, Derek Jeter will be calling it quits after the 2014 season. Levack takes a second to put it into perspective on this week's View From the Couch...
There are always "complications" when it comes to major events but Sochi is a disaster. Check out this weeks View From the Couch and hear how bad it really is...
This week on the couch I retain my title as the best Smack Talker in radio!
I've learned that if you want to know how people will react after the apocalypse just take away the coffee from an office. It's been a week without K-cups here and it's getting REAL!
Levack was wiped so for only the third time ever another person hosted the View From the Couch. Uncle Sutherland from Scotland put down his Chivas and took a seat on the couch to break down this week's NFL playoff games.
Today on the Sean and Richie show I unveiled the product that will change your shopping list this holiday season, "Levack's Scent from the Couch".
My peeps, you know I love you, and you KNOW I love the Zac Brown Band, so this works out to be a great Christmas present for everyone!
One of the band members recorded what I think is the best version of "The Grinch" that I have ever heard. The best part is they are offering it up for FREE, while supplies last!
Maureen Hancock has won me over now for sure. You may remember when she first started coming on our show she helped my father talk to me and it was quite an emotional experience. That time however, I had asked her to go ahead and make that contact. today my Mom chose to stop waiting to be asked and just came through all on her own.
Today on the Sean and Richie Show I put the spotlight on some people who abuse their Facebook privileges!

Soap Dioxins Found in Mississippi River Sediments
A beach on Lake Pepin, a stretch of the Mississippi River downstream from the Twin Cities. Sediments in the lake contain dioxins associated with hand soaps and other products.
A University of Minnesota study published today in the scientific journal, Environmental Science & Technology, found that while overall dioxin levels in Mississippi River sediments are decreasing, dioxins associated with triclosan, a common ingredient in hand soaps, are rising significantly. The federal Food and Drug Administration last month said it would review the safety of triclosan.
Dioxins associated with triclosan were found in the sediments of Lake Pepin, a wide area in the Mississippi River downstream from the Twin Cities. The Minnesota study authors note that waste water treatment plants do not fully remove the triclosan pesticide, and that the human health impacts of the contaminants are unclear.
"These four dioxins only come from triclosan. They didn't exist in Lake Pepin before triclosan was introduced," University of Minnesota civil engineering professor William Arnold said. "In the most current sediments, these triclosan-derived dioxins account for about 30 percent of the total dioxin mass."
Lake Pepin faces other pollution problems. The widest naturally occurring part of the Mississippi, it also suffers from algae blooms and turbidity. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency is developing a complex cleanup plan that could require significant pollutant reductions from the Minnesota and St. Croix Rivers, which feed the Mississippi upstream from the lake.

About Me:
I'm back! After a couple months of a break, I'm going back into chess full force. That being said I'm looking for 3-5 more students. I'm offering a free trial hour to anyone that might be interested.
About me: I am a qualified coach, with over 200 hours of individual coaching/tutoring experience. I'm currently very competitive and am improving at a high rate. However, what really makes me different is my level of involvement. On my own time, I will look through every game of yours that I can get my hands on, from 1 minute bullet to 6 hour tournament games to maximize the value of the actual lessons.
My Ideal Student: It really comes down to motivation. I want someone who will spend a good deal of time playing/practicing beyond just our lessons. Someone that really enjoys playing, and wants to improve. Competing in tournaments is a plus, but not required.
My Teaching Philosophy: I like to spend the first lesson really getting a sense of your strengths/weaknesses. From there I come up with a personalized lesson plan for both things you can do on your own, and things we work on together. I really care about maximizing your improvement when you're practicing on your own, and reserve our lessons for more detailed instruction and checking in on how you're improving. However if there's something you want to do/practice, that always takes priority.
If you're interested or have any questions, please send me a message through chess.com!
i am interested to be your student can you take a trial lesson for free
0h.. and im currently living in fremont california
I am interested in lessons

This time a year ago, Montevallo author William Cobb worried that he may have written his last book.
For about three years, Cobb had suffered from a mysterious neurological condition that his doctors couldn't put their fingers on.
He had trouble keeping his balance, and he couldn't concentrate.
Day-to-day life was a challenge. Writing became almost impossible.
"It just went on and on," Cobb recalls. "But nobody could tell me what they could do about it."
On the drive back from a literary event in Lafayette, La., last fall, Cobb turned to his wife, Loretta, and told her that his writing days may be over.
"I said, 'I can't do this anymore,'" he remembers. "'We can't travel anymore. We're old. This is it.'"
>> Today: 4 to 6 p.m. at the Alabama Booksmith, 2626 19th Place South, Homewood. 870-4242.
>> Wednesday: 6 to 8 p.m. at Eclipse Coffee & Books, 1032 Main St., Montevallo. 665-4234.
>> "Coming of Age at the Y" (1984)
>> "The Hermit King" (1987)
>> "A Walk Through Fire" (1992)
>> "Harry Reunited" (1995)
>> "Somewhere in All This Green: New and Selected Stories (1999)
>> "A Spring of Souls" (1999)
>>"Wings of Morning" (2001)
>> "The Last Queen of the Gypsies" (2010)
Then, the geriatric psychiatrist Cobb had been seeing did some more research and diagnosed him with normal condition hydrocephalus, a rare condition in which the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord doesn't drain normally, which causes difficulty walking and leads to mental decline.
Encouraged that he had at least discovered what was wrong with him, Cobb underwent surgery right away.
"I swear, before I left the hospital, I could walk without a cane," he says. "And I could just tell that my dementia was reversing itself. It was amazing."
Now, almost a year later, Cobb is rejoicing in his return to health with the release of his seventh novel, "The Last Queen of the Gypsies," his first book in nine years.
He will sign copies of the book this afternoon at the Alabama Booksmith in Homewood and on Wednesday at Eclipse Coffee & Books in Montevallo, where he will also celebrate his 73rd birthday.
"I'm ready to go," Cobb says. "It's almost like publishing my first novel because there were times during the last nine years when I didn't think this would ever really happen again."
Spanning several decades -- from the Great Depression and World War II to the mid-1960s -- "The Last Queen of the Gypsies" interweaves the lives of a teenage boy named Lester Ray, who was deserted as a baby by his mother and has recently escaped his abusive and alcoholic father, and of a woman named Minnie, who also was abandoned by her Gypsy family when she was 11.
As the novel unfolds, Lester Ray and Minnie embark on separate journeys in search of the families they never really knew.
After he got stymied writing another book, a historical epic about the Creek Indian War of 1813-14, Cobb says he started on "The Last Queen of the Gypsies" a few years ago -- not knowing where it would take him, or whether he would finish.
"It was kind of half-hearted," he says. "I had the idea and I wanted to do it, and the more I worked on it, the better it got and the more confident I got with it.
"I started out to write a novel with two main characters who never meet, whose paths only cross but they never meet," he adds. "They were just going to be parallel stories."
About halfway through, though, Cobb says he realized their stories were in some way connected.
"It just sort of happened," he says. "But it works nicely."
Teacher inspired him to write
A native of Demopolis in Marengo County, where his father ran an automobile and tractor dealership, Cobb was inspired to write by his high-school English teacher, Wynell Gantt.
"Yeah, Mrs. Gantt," he says, "She was my favorite teacher. She encouraged me a lot."
After getting his bachelor's degree from Livingston University (now known as the University of West Alabama) and a master's in creative writing from Vanderbilt University, Cobb started teaching Southern literature at the University of Montevallo in 1963, where he stayed until he retired in 2000. He spent his last 13 years there as a writer in residence.
"I wasn't a scholar, but whatever they needed teaching, I was willing to do it," he says. "I loved literature and I loved teaching."
While at Montevallo, Cobb published six novels and a collection of short stories.
Now he has a seventh novel, and he says he's not done yet.
With his new lease on life, Cobb has turned his attention back to that book on the Creek Indian War, which he vows to finish.
"I'm a writer," he says. "What else am I going to do?"

Google to Defend Position Against Deleting Search Result Info in Europe
Tiffany Kaiser
February 26, 2013 4:34 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The court is looking to figure out whether Google is the "controller" of search results or just the "host"
Google has been under the microscope in Europe due to
privacy issues
many times, and now it will attempt to defend itself once again in an ongoing case in Spain.
A Spanish man filed a complaint against Google over a year ago regarding sensitive information he uncovered about himself in a Google search. After searching his name in Google's search engine, he found a newspaper announcement from several years prior, which revealed that a property he once owned was up for auction because he failed to pay social security contributions.
The man felt Google should have to delete this private information from search results, and the Audiencia Nacional (a top court in Spain) ruled that the information should indeed be removed. However, Google challenged the ruling, saying that this opens up Pandora's Box allowing any information a user doesn't find suitable to possibly be challenged and deleted.
The case was referred to the Court of Justice in March 2012.
Now, Google will have the chance to defend its reasoning before Spain's data protection authority and Europe's highest court this week. The court is looking to figure out whether Google is the "controller" of search results or just the "host." Also, it hopes to determine if Google can be subject to EU privacy laws if it's based in California.
Google has had other privacy problems in Europe lately.
Last year, Google consolidated 60 privacy policies into one -- allowing the company to combine user data across several services like Gmail, YouTube and Google+. This strategy is especially useful when selling advertisements. However,
European data regulators demanded that Google
change its privacy policy by this summer
because it
puts users at "high risk."
Google is also in the midst of antitrust issues in Europe.
Earlier last month,
Google managed to escape a nearly two-year U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigation
without paying any fines
, but the EU
said it didn't plan on going easy on Google the way he FTC did.
Joaquin Almunia, Europe's antitrust chief, recently said that Google is providing search results that
promote its own services
instead of fairly showing those of competitors.
"We don't know how to make a $500 computer that's not a piece of junk." -- Apple CEO Steve Jobs

Man hammered 'noisy teen' to death
4 Dec 2012, 13:24
Published: 04 Dec 2012 13:24 GMT+01:00
- Suspect admits being 'involved' in teen death (04 Sep 12)
- Investigation continues into death of 13-year-old (03 Sep 12)
- 13-year-old Stockholm girl found murdered (02 Sep 12)
The murder on September 1st in the Stockholm suburb Täby was premeditated, the prosecutor said.
"For a long time, he was irritated about noise in the apartment building," prosecutor Ewa Tvengström told the TT news agency.
"And most of all about noise from the apartment above, where the girl lived."
The 31-year-old had bought a hammer, a hacksaw, cleaning equipment and a face mask about two weeks before the attack, she claimed.
"He chose the day by chance. He saw several members of the neighbouring family leave the apartment," Tvengström told TT.
The suspect has confessed to hitting the girl several times in the face and the head.
The man's brother told a friend that the suspect openly said he was going to kill the upstairs family because of the noise.
After the attack, the suspect carried the body down to his apartment before going upstairs again to start cleaning.
As the police arrived on the scene, the man jumped out of the window.
"He was trying to take his own life," Tvengström said.
The man suffers a grave psychological condition, according to a forensic evaluation, which means he cannot be sentenced to prison if found guilty.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (www.incnow.tv) -- Police responded to a home in the 600 block of Stratton Road in reference to a man making suicidal threats a little after 10 p.m. Sunday.
Preliminary information indicated the man was intoxicated and had access to firearms inside the home. Responding officers arrived on scene and were unable to make contact with him.
A Crisis Response Team negotiator established communication with the man and spoke with him briefly. He stopped communicating and refused to respond to the negotiators repeated attempts to restore communication.
In an attempt to motivate the man to exit the home peacefully, Emergency Services Team members deployed a chemical agent (tear gas) into the home. He failed to comply and refused to exit the home.
Emergency Services Team entered the home a little after 3 a.m. and took the man into custody. He was transported to a local hospital for a mental health evaluation.
Stratton Road was closed to all traffic during the five hour-standoff. During a subsequent search, firearms were discovered inside the home. This incident remains under investigation by the City of Fort Wayne Police Department.

Discussion in 'Marijuana Plant Problems' started by highway42O, Mar 18, 2012.
Whats wrong here? She is 3-4 weeks old. The red purple you see is LED lights..
Whats your temps,humidity, and PH
80 degrees 40% humidity and ph balanced soil using distilled water
I have a ph strip tester that reads good 6.5ish ph.. but dont have a digital tester
overwatering, they look droopier than granny tits. poke holes in your top soil 2" away from your stem and make holes on the sides of your pots as well, good air to the roots makes for happy plants. and hold back on water or foliar feed, humidity and heat may also contribute to this problem.
I thought she looked droopy too.. but didnt think I was over watering.. feel ive been waiting on watering and why would water make it look yellow veiny looking but thanks and will do
ummm, you my friend have thrips. Or at least it looks like you do.
When thrips start sucking the sap from your leaves you get little yellow "scratches" that appear on the top surface. Look under your leaves and see if you see anything crawling around really slow.look carefully, they are hella small.
it could also be cal/mag def if your not supplementing with it especially with distilled water
didnt even spot those scratch, try canola oil and garlic, the canola will kill any of them and garlic will drive them away, or grinded up marigold flowers to replace the garlic if the smell is too pungent. also, spray cedar oil around your grow area but not on your plants if you have pest problems as well.
and hell yeah i keep my word, spaghetti 4 lyfe
I dont see any bugs and I just transplanted into a 10 gallon pot and wasnt over water IMO.. and cal mag def or abundance?
haha lol man i am tooo LIT funny ass F***
it looks like scratches, but could be cal mag. use a pinch of epsom for mg, a teaspoon of whole milk for cal if you dont have the nutes. but calcium appears in more of spots rather than scratches. maybe boron or something. use micro nutes, blackstrap molasses or bontaicare fulvex carries great minerals and micro nutes, and rainwater does as well.
and now that i look it looks like mg
look under your leaves and under your pots, they hide.
feel you on that one, i think this would be bowl number 14 hahaha
I have azomite in the soil.. and have lady bugs..
I use CalCarb misting sometimes too
too much calcium?
gonna say mg, but some other deficiencies do the yellowing tip thing.
and possibly, could try flushing
for me or you
Thats what Im thinking now.. Just flushed with transplant too.. Thanks

THE ISSUE: Getting a notoriously tight-walleted group of donors to help improve facilities and address other parts of the athletics budget -- beginning with the $102 million Rutgers Stadium expansion. Pernetti has been working on this since the day he was hired.
PERNETTI SAYS: "We can't gain that contribution and then go away. We want to treat our donors as investors."
THE ISSUE: In a crippling economic situation, figuring out what fits and what doesn't and how to make it all work better. Pernetti will meet -- and, in some cases, already has met -- with coaches and team administrators about their needs and concerns.
PERNETTI SAYS: "What I want to hear is, 'What's gone on?' and 'Why?' and any improvements or changes that might better the department."
THE ISSUE: This is where Pernetti's youth and experience as a student-athlete at Rutgers will be of most use. He wants to hear the problems of student-athletes and work to better their situations -- from class schedules to uniforms to facilities.
PERNETTI SAYS: "What I want to understand from the student-athletes is, 'What is the experience like now?'"
THE ISSUE: In recent years, there has been a major rift between the athletic and academic communities at Rutgers. Pernetti must prove that they can coexist while at the same time improving Rutgers' athletic profile.
PERNETTI SAYS: "Everybody wants athletics to grow and thrive and succeed in as responsible of a manner as we can. The one thing that glared out is, we need to do a better job as an athletic department servicing other areas of the university."

Hey, Mary: I would like to know the games won and lost for both Kyrie and Waiters when they don't play together. Are the team stats higher or lower with Waiters alone? -- James Williams, Cleveland
Hey, James: As of Friday morning, Waiters had played 10 games without Irving, and the Cavs were 4-6, 40 percent. Irving has played six games without Waiters and the Cavs were 2-4, 33.3 percent. I'm not sure what team stats you mean, but through 61 games, the Cavs were averaging 97.7 points per game. When Irving played those six games without Waiters, the Cavs averaged 95 points per game, slightly lower than their average. When Waiters played those 10 games without Irving, the Cavs averaged 98.3, slightly higher than their average.
Hey, Mary: Now that the Lakers are playing better, is that a good thing for the Cavs or a bad thing? I can't remember if it helps our draft or not. Should I be rooting for the Lakers to make the playoffs? -- Steve Geiger, Lewis Center, Ohio
Hey, Steve: If you want the Cavs to be able to swap Miami's draft pick with that of the Lakers, then you should root for the Lakers to make the playoffs. The swap could improve the Cavs draft pick by as many as 14 spots if Miami finishes with the best record in the league.
Hey, Mary: Do you think that with the improved play of Dion Waiters that coach Scott will begin to utilize both Kyrie and Waiters at the closing of a game to keep the other team off balance and not able to key on Kyrie? -- James Williams, Cleveland
Hey, James: He usually does play both down the stretch, but many factors go into that, including matchups, foul trouble, somebody with a hot hand or the kind of effort put forth (especially defensively) to that point of the game.

Why I Don't Want To Research BI Market Size
Posted by Boris Evelson on July 23, 2010

I know, I know, this is what analysts do. But I personally would never want to get involved in doing a BI market size – it's open game for serious critique. Here are some of the reasons, but the main one is a good old "garbage in garbage out." I am not aware of any BI market size study that took into account the following questions:
- What portion of the DBMS market (DW, DBMS OLAP) do you attribute to BI?
- What portion of the BPM market (BAM, process dashboards, etc.) do you attribute to BI?
- What portion of the ERP market (with built-in BI apps, such as Lawson, Infor, etc.) do you attribute to BI?
- What portion of the portal market (SharePoint is the best example) do you attribute to BI?
- What portion of the search market (Endeca, Google Analytics, etc.) do you attribute to BI?
- What is the market size of custom developed BI applications?
- What is the market size of self built BI apps using Excel, Access, etc?
- On the other side, what is the % of licenses sold that are shelfware and should not be counted?
Plus many more unknowns. But, if someone indeed did do such a rough estimate, my bet is that the actual BI market size is probably 3x to 4x larger than any current estimate.

"my bet is that the actual BI market size is probably 3x to 4x of any current estimate."
3x to 4x larger or smaller? Given the amount of shelfware in BI it is probably the second option...
Roman, larger, of course

Why the BI market is immeasurable...
Comment from John Kyle (not verified) on Fri, 07/23/2010 - 10:46
I think your assessment is right-on. Your questions point to the fact that Business Intelligence is so broadly defined that market size is not a useful measure. BI can mean everything from desktop widgets to Excel reporting to statistical data mining - and everything in between. And, after all, isn't this what makes BI great? Based on its age, BI should be a mature (dare I say boring) market. Yes, there are some giant players that have been around for a very long time, but there are also a lot of newcomers with fresh ideas and new approaches. For this reason, I'm glad that the BI market size can't be measured.
Market Sizing Is an Important Tool
Comment from Holger Kisker on Thu, 09/02/2010 - 12:30
The simple fact that something is difficult to accomplish or might not deliver exact results and is vulnurable to some rightful arguments and concerns should not keep us from trying and delivering the best we can.
I for myself stand behind my published BI market sizing (Forrester report: Market Overview: The Business Intelligence Software Market, October 2009) and I'm happy and open to discuss its results, arguments and limitations. Based on the feedback I recieved I know that many BI vendors have been looking for such a Forrester report and did welcome the results.
Btw, the answers for the questions in the blog are very straight forward for my sizing: 0% of question 1-7 and 100% of question 8 made it into my sizing. Not too difficult to answer.
Holger, that's why I am glad

Theyre ugly and look like any diesels with a laser distressing, but if they fit nicely and are super cheap why not.
post #19081 of 42590
9/27/11 at 6:17pm
I have been looking for some sneakers/shoes that are <$200 and fit my style. I was recommended these shoes, <a="http://www.us.allsaints.com/men/footwear/crawford-low-top/smoke/mfw064-1796">AllSaints Crawford Low Tops</a>, and since my clothing style is similar to AllSaints (more of a rugged casual look as opposed to neat and tidy) I was thinking they may work.
Are these a good purchase? I've been looking to update my FW wardrobe and I'm trying to spend around $500 (college budget). Will this purchase be a mistake and can anyone recommend me some outfit ideas that will be fashionable, yet reasonable in price?
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

BIRMINGHAM, Alabama -- Standard & Poor's has raised Northport's general obligation bond rating to "A+" and also raised its outlook to positive from stable, according to the Tuscaloosa News.
"Four years after auditors told the Northport City Council that the city could be facing bankruptcy, revenues are up and the city is scheduled to have 10 percent of its operating funds in a reserve account a year earlier than expected," the Tuscaloosa News said.
Northport City Administrator Scott Collins said the city plans to be debt-free by 2029, according to the report. The city still has $63.7 million in debt, mostly because of bond issues.

Summer is in its final phase, with autumn nipping fast at its heels. The nights are growing cooler, color is blooming in the trees, and our appetites will soon be turning to apples, pumpkins, and hearty soups instead of berry cobblers and refreshing salads.
But before unpacking the scarves and sweaters, I urge you to give summer one final hurrah by using the last of the local farmer's market fresh, sweet corn in a delicious and flavorful Fresh Corn and Tomato Tart from Verril Farm in Concord, MA. The tart was featured in the July 2009 issue of Yankee, and has emerged as a modern savory summer treat.
The tart starts with several ears of (you guessed it) fresh, local corn. Shuck the corn, then get out your sharpest knife and slice the kernels into a bowl. This is easier to do than you might think, and also rather fun. I received several new knives for my birthday last month and this was a perfect way to put one to work.
While the corn kernels are sautéing with onion and garlic, shred some Vermont cheddar, then slice a few garden tomatoes or a handful of cherry tomatoes. In the cold, dark days of February and March you will long for the days of fresh New England summer produce and dishes like this one.
The aroma and flavor of the corn shines, along with a supporting cast that includes tomatoes, scallions, and a bit of cream, milk, and egg to set the filling. Pure end-of-summer heaven!
Of course, autumn in New England is nothing to dread, and there are plenty of classic Yankee dishes to serve and enjoy in the coming months – arguably the region's finest.
What are some of your favorite local fall dishes? Share your picks in the comments below – perhaps one will make an appearance in a future Yankee Seeker post!
In the meantime, gather up some corn and bid summer adieu with this tasty Fresh Corn and Tomato Tart.

Football and other fall sports are in preseason and Labor Day is almost upon us. With them, the start of school is not far behind. Actually, for one district, it's ahead of Labor Day — students at North Hunterdon and Voorhees high schools return to school tomorrow.
Though North and Voorhees, along with a few sending K-8 districts, have the earliest start dates of all county schools, most students will be back behind their desks after Labor Day.
Until then, it's still summer. Here's what's happening around the county today:
WEATHER• How likely are thunderstorms today? About 80%, according to the National Weather Service. The high is expected to reach 84 and the low 67.
IN THE NEWS• Flemington's Business Improvement District, FBID, is taking a major step toward improving the local economy and revitalizing downtown by hiring TerraNoble Design P.A. to prepare a comprehensive strategic plan.
• Parents of Voorhees High School student athletes — and students themselves — can join a committee that district officials hope will be a forum in which they can address bullying and other problems in the sports program.
• Yesterday was the two-year anniversary of Irene, which swept through Hunterdon on Aug. 27, causing flooding and other damage. NJ.com readers discussed how prepared the county and JCP&L are for another storm.
"I don't understand why (NJ.com commenters) Chicken and Pacer think that better communication from JCP&L would make any difference in their situation or have any impact on the time needed to restore service," annomalley wrote. "There are those that are prepared for an emergency and there are those that will never be prepared. There are those that will keep thumbing their smartphone looking for salvation and there are those that bought a generator, stocked up on supplies and are sitting back watching all the old movies they never had time for."

A graphic photo of a car plowing into a group of bicyclists near the U.S.-Mexico border is stirring outrage, fear and even a eulogy among Portland-area bicyclists on the Internet this morning.
The photo, which has popped up on scores of news and cycling blogs this morning, prompted a post on Portland's Shift cycling e-mail list. The subject: "Utter Horror."
"This is beyond horrible," posted "Jeme," a Portland-area rider.
It's a scene of carnage, snapped by a Matamoros, Mexico, city official just 15 minutes into the third annual Matamoros-Bagdad Cycling Tour on Sunday, showing a car smashing head-on into a pack of cyclists. The picture captured bodies, bicycles and equipment being hurled high into the air by the collision.
According to the Associated Press, Juan Campos of Brownsville, Texas, is charged with killing Alejandro Alvarez, 37, of Monterrey. Authorities said Campos, 28, was apparently drunk and fell asleep when he crashed into the 34 kilometer race.
Campos' 1989 Grand Marquis veered onto the wrong side of the road and slammed into the center of the peloton, police said. In addition to the fatality, several riders were seriously injured.
On the Shift list, cyclist and author Joe Kurmaskie said Alvarez was a dear friend. "I'm absolutely heartbroken!" he wrote in his e-mail.
Kurmaskie said he wrote about Alvarez in the final chapter of his 2003 book "Riding Outside the Lines: International Incidents and Other Misadventures With the Metal Cowboy."
"He was one of the guides on a weeklong mountain bike adventure I wrote about for Outside (magazine)," Kurmaskie wrote. "A few years later he met me here in the US and I took him riding the gorge -- helluva great cyclist and more importantly an awesome guy. We hung out under a fat moon way up in a mountain town on La Buffa."
Hanging out in the flatbed of a truck, Kurmaskie said, the two talked about "why even Mexican radio stations overplay classic Eagles tunes. Damn it, I couldn't believe it when I saw that picture yesterday and read his name."
On a long climb with Alvarez, Kurmaskie wrote that his friend asked him what animal the American would compare his riding style to. Kurmaskie wrote that he told him "el gato," or cat. Not for any reason except that it was one of the few animals Kurmaskie knew how to say in Spanish and say in one quick breath, he wrote in his e-mail eulogy.
"He looked me in the eye, gave me this keen smile and said, 'I ride like El Gato -- I float and glide and pedal lightly. You -- more like El Armadillo,' " he wrote. "Classic. RIP AA."

Harriers join states elite
The Spartan girls cross country team hit No. 5 in the state coaches poll this week, believed to be the highest ranking a Bainbridge squad has ever achieved.
While conceding his own excitement, coach Richard Christopher cautioned the team against excessive exuberance.
You still have to go out and run, Christopher told them. You have to do the best you can every time, and the other stuff will take place.
Taking his words to heart, the team won its fourth meet of the season Thursday, defeating Lakeside and Seattle Prep on Battle Point Parks three-mile course to remain unbeaten on the season.
The girls finished 2-3-4-5-6 to score 20 points to far outdistance Lakeside (52) and Seattle Prep (65).
Despite taking several wrong turns, Preps Ray Rogers last springs state 3200 meter champion easily won the race in 19:26. Bainbridges Sarah Grue edged teammate Rachel Belt for second, 19:36 to 19:37.
Other Spartans were Becca Ivey (fourth, 19:55), Colleen Burke (fifth, 20:06), Christy Lubovich (sixth, 20:08), Audrey Bennett (ninth, 20:48) and Lizzie Corvin (18th, 21:57).
Grue cited several factors for the teams success.
With so many seniors, we have a lot of confidence, she said. We all know each other pretty well, so we have a lot of team spirit.
Fellow senior Ivey, the school record holder in the 800 who is running cross country for the first time, said, Im having so much fun, I should have done this long ago. We have such great camaraderie, that its fun to come to practice.
Grue identified a third factor.
Were hard workers. We push each other in practice.
Echoing the practice theme, Christopher emphasized that the boys, though unranked, share credit for the girls high showing because everyone trains together and helps to push each other.
Silver for boys
The Spartan boys took second to highly ranked Prep in a four-way race on the same course Thursday, despite missing two top runners.
With Joey Tarbill and newly eligible Jordan Droppert missing this meet due to minor injuries, Christopher said other runners stepped up.
He cited the runs of Nolan Amey and Jason Rowley. Amey led the Spartans with a seventh place 16:22, more than a 20-second improvement over his time two weeks ago on the same course. Rowley, the second Spartan to finish, was 10th, his 16:49 representing a 17-second improvement.
Other finishers were Tim Freeman (11th, 16:55), Christian Lucier (14th, 17:07), Alex Hoelting (17th, 17:29), Ed Morales (18th, 17:32) and Jack Replinger (19th, 18:05).
Prep had 25 points, while Lakeside which had the second and third finishers and the Spartans each had 58. Because Morales finished well ahead of his Lakeside sixth place counterpart, the Spartans were awarded second place. Cleveland trailed with 104 points.
The team competes in the Hoquiam Invitational today.

I want to encourage fellow Islanders to vote for Angie Homola in the upcoming commissioners race. This dedicated public servant has done everything to deserve reelection, including balancing the budget in very lean times. Remember she did this partly by reducing her own travel allowance, salary and medical benefits. She also deserves great credit for bringing back a hydro-geologist to our county staff, which is an essential function for protecting our county's drinking water.
As a former realtor, I will also tell you that this function is exceptionally helpful in facilitating vacant land sales and enhancing property values county-wide.
Let us not return the county to the back-door leadership that reigned for decades. The current Tea Party commissioner has been a complete disaster, with her self-serving, above-the-law mentality. Electing Homola's opponent means putting this person in the majority. Remember the last time we had a Republican majority on the board?
We got awful results such as the Boyer land swindle in which we the taxpayers got forced to pay over $2 million for a property assessed at less than a quarter of that.
Years later, this property still sits vacant.
Island County deserves better than the type of leadership that Republicans have brought us in the past.
We deserve leadership by servants who care deeply about our economic, human, and natural resource wellbeing. We deserve exactly the terrific leadership that Commissioner Homola has been providing. Reelect Angie, for responsible governance.

Murray postgame quotes
Terry Murray's postgame thoughts…
(on the game…)
MURRAY: "I expected a game that was going to be pretty good energy from the Freezers. I thought, after the first five minutes of the first period, they started to show a lot of confidence with the puck, making plays. Their skill players did some very good things with speed, with moving the puck. They had some great scoring chances. There were plays that were made off the boards, in our D zone, that are uncharacteristic for us. We're usually closing and eliminating people, but we seemed to be backing off. Whether that was the Olympic-sized sheet of ice, I'm not sure, but they made a lot of good plays, the Freezers. They found weak-side post, they found D coming down back door. It was a pretty impressive effort by them. They have some good skill and are a very well-coached team. They attack five guys all the time, and I liked a lot of the things they were trying to do.''
(on the game atmosphere…)
MURRAY: "Tremendous atmosphere. The fans introducing the starting lineup, I think it's…why can't we do that? That's pretty neat. Then the young guy bringing the game puck out, that's a great idea. I've never seen that before, in all the years I've been around the game. The fans are tremendous here. I saw it in the (DEL) game that I was at yesterday, the excitement, the energy. They're totally committed to the team. I have experienced that atmosphere before, and this just confirms again that hockey is a very popular sport and a thriving sport here in Germany.''
(on being satisfied with the Kings' effort…)
MURRAY: "Satisfied is a hard word for a coach. You're never satisfied. You want more. You want better. It's the final game of the exhibition (schedule) for us. We finished off with five (games) in seven days before coming over to Europe here. So it's been demanding, and that's fine. Because usually if you push through the demanding side of it, you're going to come through and be ready to go, and that's what I'm hoping for right now. We've got a couple of days of practice before the first game. So I'm not satisfied. There's lots of things that we need to improve on, keep practicing. That seems to be the norm for NHL teams. You're always going back and correcting things at some time during the year.''
(on the power play…)
MURRAY: "Power play has to be better for us. That's something that we've addressed over the offseason, just in many meetings. The power play can win you a hockey game. Tonight, it was an opportunity to create some separation in the score, and we didn't get the job done. Like we talked about last year, we want to make that extra little play, or that cute play through the seam, from the half-board, and the top of the box is wide open. We'd like to become more of a shooting power play, with Doughty, with Jack Johnson, with Kopitar. Those three guys, in particular, up top in the umbrella, we really think we can get pucks to the net with traffic. It was there tonight. We just didn't use it.''
