A hiker who fell off the ridge in Ka'a'awa on Saturday has died.
A friend hiking behind her tells KITV4 it happened all too quickly. Aaron McClendon said Elizabeth Tarpey, 23, arranged the weekend hike on the Pu'u Manamana hiking trail.
The three friends had already been hiking for three hours when they started going down the back side of the trail, down the Kahekili Manamana loop near Crouching Lion.
A photo was taken during their last snack break, minutes before the unimaginable happened. McClendon said Tarpey stepped on a patch of loose soil, slipped and fell 300 feet.
"The whole thing happened in slow motion. I remember seeing her go over, and seeing her face while she was going down the side," said McClendon.
As she started to fall, she screamed, McClendon was behind her and tried to save her.
"One of her legs went over and I was right behind her, and I reached out to grab her, but I was too far back, and then her entire body went over, and I saw her fall about 100 feet and she disappeared," said McClendon.
"We tried to get down to get to where we could see her. There was a lot of dense foliage on the bottom she had fallen in between the trees," added McClendon.
He said they had completed more difficult hikes before. The Honolulu Fire Department was there within minutes. They made more than five attempts before they were able to get to Tarpey.
She was transported to the trauma center in serious condition where she later died.
The Honolulu medical examiner says Tarpey died from multiple internal injuries due to the accidental fall on the hike.
McClendon said Tarpey was looking forward to visiting her family next week. Tarpey moved here a year and a half ago. Her family plans to hold a memorial service in Hawaii.

PB chefs, sommeliers participating in down-on-the-farm affairs to include Paris-inspired soiree
- 6:43 pm Tuesday, September 17th, 2013 by M.M. Cloutier
So you're invited to an exclusive, secret-location alfresco gathering where everyone dresses divinely in white, dines under the stars, and brings and lights candles to make the evening sparkle.
That's generally the gist of Paris' legendary annual "le diner en blanc" celebrations, a concept that has spread throughout the world—and now is the inspiration behind an upcoming "diner en blanc," of sorts, in which a Palm Beach chef and sommelier are

By Carl Wilson, horticulture agent, Colorado State University Cooperative Extension, Denver
Tan blotches on spinach leaves may be a sign of insect damage caused by spinach leaf miner. The immature maggot stage burrows within leaves of spinach, beets and chard, causing blotchy dead patches. The remainder of the leaf is edible.
This insect overwinters in the soil, emerging in midspring. It flies to young plants and lays white egg masses on the undersides of leaves. The maggot hatches to tunnel into the leaves for two to three weeks before dropping to the ground to pupate.
If you plant your spinach in a new area where leaf miners won't be emerging from the ground, use floating row cover fabric to cover your plants and exclude adult flies. Regularly inspect leaves for egg masses on the undersides and crush any you find before they hatch.
If you find larvae tunneling within the leaves, pick and destroy the leaves because insects will continue to live there. Very early spring plantings and fall plantings tend to escape damage.

I will try to contact all that I haven't reached yet over the course of this day...hope I am successful. But you guys feel free to pm me (Temps Perdu/Coal Miner/Loxsley) or Nokorin in game too, makes it easier for me.
We are constantly hitting the maximum member cap and I am trying to sort out inactive people still, but at some point I am pretty sure I will have to close down recruitment again. Will make it obvious in this thread though once that happens.
Ankama really needs to raise the cap.

2010 Road Trip: Camelback here I Come!
My first road trip of 2010 will be this Friday when my friends and I leave early Friday morning! We will be back on Monday.
The Dodgers will open Friday against the White Sox. Padilla will start followed by Ortiz and Haeger plus relief candidates Luis Ayala, Scott Dohmann and former White Sox Jon Link.
The White Sox are scheduled to counter with announced Opening Day starter Mark Buehrle, followed by Jeff Marquez, Scott Linebrink, J.J. Putz, Santo Luis and Freddie Dolsi.
Former Dodger Juan Pierre is among the new White Sox. A name that I had forgotten that is now a White Sox is Andruw Jones.
I can't wait!!!!!! I was checking the weather report in Glendale and they are predicting rain for Sunday but who cares! We get to see our boys in Blue! and guess what? Sandy Koufax is there!! Whoohoo!
This time we know where they have those cameras on the freeway so we are prepared!
Congratulations to Jeff Weaver who became a dad last Wednesday. Son Drake weight in 8 pounds. Congrats to the Weaver family including uncle Jered.
Luvthedodgers23: Shall we look for Adrian Gonzales restaurant this time?
We lost another Brooklyn Dodger player.
Some of you might remember my post about Brooklyn Dodger Players Alive, well, I am sorry to report that we lost another one.
The second oldest living Brooklyn Dodger outfielder, George Cisar passed away February 19, 2010 at the age of 99. Cisar played for the Dodgers in 1937, batting .207 in 20 games.
Now there are 62 living former Brooklyn Dodgers.
Rest in peace George

Nice pic of you with Weaver. Hope you have a great time in Arizona. And watch out for those cameras. No speeding tickets!
We well defintely look for the cameras this time! I read somewhere that a lot of drivers don't even pay for the tickets. They don't go on your record but I guess if they catch you next time is the slamer for you.
Wow. Very cool. Have fun on your trip. I hear that complex is really nice. Maybe you'll get a close up of Ozzie too. If you do, keep your ears open 'cuz he's bound to say something stupid. LOL.
It is very nice! We were there last year. I did not get a chance to get a close up of Ozzie. I did of GM, he was sitting close to us when we sat in the club level or whatever that level is called.
Hola Emma, gracias por el comentario y por las fotos, hace tiempo que no te escribo porque ando un poco desconectado del beisbol fuera de temporada, ya en abril arranco de nuevo con mi blog de Mis Medias Blancas. Cuando no hay temporada de grandes ligas escribo en mi otro blog: http://corrertraselviento.blogspot.com/ . Me alegro mucho leer tu email. La verdad que lo de Chile y Haití fueron grandes desgracias, el mundo está gravemente enfermo y cada día que pasa en el mundo pasa algo muy grave, ¿has oído hablar del 21,12,2010? ¿Crees algo de esto? Bueno tampoco es para comernos la cabeza, jejeje. Pásalo bien en Arizona y si te acuerdas mándame más fotos que me gustan. Te mando un fuerte saludo y beso desde Tenerife, España.
Things must be getting exciting around you now, hope you have a safe trip to Glendale and a lot of fun while you are there…
Outside the Phillies Looking In
Francamente no he oido the 21/12/10 . Esperemos que nada catastrofico pace ese dia. Ahi te mando algunas fotos. No soy muy buena tomando fotos per ahi le vamos. Esta camara que compre en el verano es mejor que la que tenia cuando fui a Arizona. Cuidate OK y ahi seguiremos platicando. Estoy tambien este ano esperando la Copa Mundial.
In the agenda is to go watch a game where the Cubs play in Tempe and also the Giants in Scottsdale. It should be fun!
Thanks Jenn! Jeff Weaver was very nice but then all players are extra nice during Spring Training.
:* (
…another of Dem Bums got drafted to play on the great team in the sky. Time has no compassion.
Have an awesome time on your trip!!! Can't wait to see the pics and read your post about it.
Yes Mike, Time has no compassion. That is why we have to make the most of our time. You remember what Sandy said Saturday night. ""Your most precious asset is time," Koufax said. "Spend your money foolishly, spend your time wisely."
I really don't think the White Sox are going to have a good rotation this year, nor the Indians. But that's the least of my worries.
I think that the Dodgers (Yes even with Padilla *sigh*) will in fact make it to the NLCS.
They have a great offense and Kemp just is amazing. If he has a good year for you so will the other guys.
And hey Koufax is there? Make sure you get a picture haha.
Also, there are only 62 living Dodgers? Wow. If I ever play in the majors, I don't want to play for the Dodgers, (early death warrant). But just because of that.
Great post Emma, have fun!
I am being optimistic about the Padilla signing but you know the Dodgers don't have a number 1 pitcher hence Torre has announced who the Opening Day starter will be. Maybe it will go to 21 year old Kershar?
If I see Koufax, I will definitely take a picture!
And Ted, those are Dodgers that played for Brooklyn! I think is amazing that we have 61 still with us. The olderst living MLB player was a Brooklyn Dodger player at 100 years old! May they continue to have healthful lives.
Emma, have a great time! No tickets this year! I'll be looking forward to reading about your trip next week.
Rants, Raves, and Random Thoughts
No! Please! No traffic tickets this year! Por favor! LOL>
Yeah, Emma.
I don't know if I like the idea of Andruw Jones even sharing the same minor league camp ground with the Dodger team. He may try to reminiss with a few of them after the game and make many unnecessary trips to McDonalds ..
Enjoy the trip! I'm doing something similiar here in Florida, finances permitting.

Leader of burglary ring sent to prison
The accused ringleader in a series of fall Marietta burglaries was sentenced Wednesday in Washington County Common Pleas Court to four years in prison.
However, Carl Robison, 19, of 235 Johnson Road, could be released earlier under judicial release, said his attorney John Wells.
"Remember it all depends on how well you behave," Wells told his client after Wednesday's sentencing.
Robison was indicted in December on three second-degree felony counts of burglary and in January pleaded guilty to all three counts: A Sept. 18 burglary at 104 St. Clair St.; an Oct. 16 burglary at 218 E. Spring St.; and an Oct. 30 burglary at 145 Woodland Ave.
However, investigators believe Robison had connections to more than a dozen burglaries that occurred in Marietta last September and October, said Washington County Assistant Prosecutor Kevin Rings.
"The agreement in this case was the defendant would sit down with Detective (Troy) Hawkins. Detective Hawkins reported Mr. Robison confirmed his (involvement) in almost all of the other burglaries," said Rings.
The plea agreement also included a provision that Robison would not be charged with previous burglaries he admitted to, beyond the three to which he was pleading, he added.
Wells characterized his client as highly cooperative with the burglary investigation.
"Not only did he admit his involvement, but he also admitted knowledge of some thefts and burglaries that he knew about but was not involved in," he said.
Robison was one of six individuals arrested in connection with the series of daytime burglaries.
Also arrested were Tiffany Conant, also known as Tiffany Johnston, 24, of 108 Riley Drive; Brandon Schmidt, 22, of 830 Ridge St.; Steven Frances, 19, of 235 Johnson Road; and two boys, ages 15 and 17.
The juveniles are awaiting trial, said Rings. Charges will likely be brought against Frances and Schmidt, he said. However, Conant will not likely be charged in connection with the events due to a lack of evidence, he said.
Rings recommended a four-year prison sentence for Robison, who has no prior adult felonies.
Robison does have an extensive juvenile record including breaking and entering, vandalism, aggravated menacing, theft, underage consumption, felonious assault, drug possession, and multiple probation violations, said Washington County
Common Pleas Judge Ed Lane.
But, he added, "I don't think I can give consecutive sentences in this case."
Typically interrelated crimes that happen in the same time frame are subject to a concurrent sentence under the Ohio Revised Code.
Lane agreed to the four year recommendation, sentencing Robison to four years on each charge to be served concurrently. After his release Robison will be subject to three years of community control sanctions, added Lane.
Robison faced a maximum of eight years on the second-degree felony charges.

Mirant Corporation merged into GenOn Energy in 2010
Mariner Energy was acquired by Apache in 2010
The Department of Finance has identified energy finance and financial risk management as key areas for innovative research and curriculum development. Energy and capital markets are undergoing fundamental transformations that require the creation of new curriculum and research. Moreover, there is a critical need to better prepare managers to understand, quantify, monitor, and manage the financial risks created by volatile energy prices, foreign exchange rates, and interest rates.
As a first step in the creation of the preeminent academic program in energy finance, The University of Texas established the Center for Energy Finance Education and Research (CEFER) in the Department of Finance at the McCombs School of Business in 1997. Dr. Ehud I. Ronn served as the founding director of CEFER and stewarded the organization until 2009.
CEFER's original objective was to support curriculum development in corporate finance and financial risk management applied to energy and financial commodities as well as to support faculty development and research in the Department of Finance. Under Dr. Ronn's leadership, the Center has served as the focal point for the leading academic program in energy finance and financial risk management. Among the many successes of CEFER, the creation of the National Energy Finance Challenge MBA Case Competition and the design and implementation of an Energy Finance MBA and BBA Concentrations stand out as special achievements.
In 2009, the McCombs School of Business founded the Energy Management and Innovation Center (EMIC) in an attempt to capitalize on CEFERs successes and expand the energy focus to the entire school. In the new organizational structure, Dr. Ronn continues his leadership in energy finance by serving as the Finance co-director of EMIC. The director of EMIC – Dr. Sheridan Titman – works with Dr. Ronn and the EMIC co-directors in other functional areas of McCombs to conduct scholarly research in energy management and serve as the point of contact for business related energy issues for the UT campus external constituents. Specifically EMIC is dedicated to gaining a better understanding of the economic, commercial, and policy issues involved in the production, distribution, and consumption of energy.
For more information on Energy Finance and the Energy Management and Innovation Center (EMIC) at McCombs, please visit http://www.mccombs.utexas.edu/centers/emic or contact John C. Butler, Clinical Associate Professor.

Part of the writer's art is knowing which subjects to choose to write about. Sometimes the choice is right in front of one's face. Sometimes it's a little more difficult. Such was the case when I heard an old friend had become a "sex clown" in San Francisco, and another writer I know wanted to do a story on the turf battles that take place within the belly dancing community of the Bay Area.
Of course, when I hear anyone has become a sex clown I'm interested as a writer and, well, a potential consumer. However, I don't take anything at face value so I decided to do what any good writer would do and follow up with this old friend who had seemed to have found a new vocation in the city by the Bay.

Congress needs a new idea that speaks to today's India
Sometimes, mighty rivers die unspectacularly as they run out of water on some dusty dune. A lot of attention has been focused on that dusty dune, which apparently goes by the name of Rahul Gandhi, but perhaps we should focus a little more on why the venerable party has run out of water. It was amply clear during the last elections that the party, apart from having no leaders that could remotely match the drawing power of Narendra Modi, had no story to tell. Its election pitch was a tired combination of old slogans about the poor and new fantasies about the young, and it was evident that few believed it, least of all people within the party.
It is true that in its long and eventful lifespan, the party has faced many reverses and has always found its way back to power. It is also true that at a time like this, it is very easy to think of everything being wrong with the party, and that perhaps a longer-term perspective would be useful in placing the current rout in context. But it is precisely this long-term perspective that throws up the more worrying prognosis. For it reveals more fundamental structural issues that are difficult to address even if the intent to change things were present. As it turns out, if recent pronouncements and actions of the party leadership give any clue, it is that the party is huddling into a small foetal ball of cluelessness, where comfort lies.
The central question facing the party is not whether its dynastic leadership needs change, but as to why it should at all exist anymore. It is easy to answer the question about the need for the Congress in systemic terms- the country needs a strong opposition at the national level, and it needs an alternative imagination is rooted in the ideas of justice and equity. While it may be clear as to why the country needs a party like the Congress in terms of its overall shape and form, it is far from clear as to what the party has to offer to the ordinary voter by way of a driving idea that it is geared to deliver to.
The founding ideas of the party have become desultory slogans and the political culture it has fostered is a cynical one based on buildings pockets of patronage. It is as if India's premier political party has lost faith in politics. It thinks of vote-catching as a pursuit that is separate from the act of administering the country, and it has converted this belief into a political structure by keeping the real leadership of the party out of government and installing a respectable figurehead as Prime Minister. The biggest problem with the outgoing regime is that it displayed little sense of purpose, either administratively or politically; it derived meaning from being stagnant rather than being in motion, of distributing largesse rather than moving anywhere purposefully. Politically too it has seen its role as keeping the forces of communalism at bay- which apparently translates into standing still and looking secular.
Even now, the party has no ideas about how to connect with the voter of today. It is remarkable how a right wing party under the leadership of someone widely regarded as being divisive has managed to unify the electorate much more than the Congress has in recent times. A lot of this has to do with the inability of the Congress to offer a vision of tomorrow that is as compelling as the one offered by Modi. This is because not only does it not have such a vision, but that it has stopped believing in the necessity of such a vision. This column had previously argued that the key to Modi's success was a demonstration of intention- of a fierce desire to lead, not merely for the sake of power but using it to some transformative effect. One could disagree with the man, but one thing seems certain— a Narendra Modi government is unlikely to be accused of listless inaction.
This is where the dynastic leadership becomes an issue. For the Nehru-Gandhi family, leadership is worn like a somewhat burdensome legacy. Here the power is a given, it is the attendant responsibility that is optional. Which is why all its reference points are internal. That Rahul Gandhi did not step up and assume a role in the two governments has little to do with anything else but his own compulsions. That he can barge in as and when he likes and publicly overturn his PM's decision, and do so without any larger plan is because he felt like doing so. That a Priyanka Gandhi can assume the national stage while restricting her campaign to two constituencies purely because that is her call. That no one can challenge or ask any real questions about what went wrong because that would be treason.
The Congress needs a new idea that speaks to today's India. This will draw from its background and its often glorious past, but it will need to be imagined anew. It cannot be a retreat into the comfortable but needs to be a bold foray into the unfamiliar. It will also need a leadership that believes in politics and governance as an instrument of change and that craves for an opportunity to run things. Realistically speaking, the Congress cannot in the short term do without the dynasty. The entire party is propped up by its presumptive leadership. What it really needs is for the family to lead the process of finding its own successors. It had an opportunity in 2004 and 2009 and it blew it; at best it has one more opportunity. Without a fresh source of water, the party will dry up. This time around, chances are, there will be no comeback.

November 15, 2012—See how, late one evening in a remote Peruvian cloud forest, a National Geographic explorer happened upon a big little discovery—a new frog to go with seven other new species found during the expedition.
Deep in the Andean cloud forest, 8 new animal species are discovered
I'm Lucie McNeil and this is National Geographic On Assignment---your link to thousands of Nat Geo Explorers around the globe.
Today, we're going to Eastern Peru.
National Geographic's Edgar Leyr had been conducting the first-ever survey of the PuiPui Forest in Eastern Peru, trying to find out the health and status of the amphibians and reptiles there.
Around 9pm one night, Edgar and his team stumbled onto something amazing....
SOUNDBITE: EDGAR LEYR: We just discovered a new species of frog, of the genus Pristamantis.... this frog was sitting on a fern leaf, approximately one meter, 30 above the ground.
The team went on to discover 7 more new frogs and a lizard.
That's National Geographic On Assignment---your link to our Explorers.

The Female Figure
Eduard Erlikh has worked for lots of the big names of the magazine biz and many of his images are gorgeously saturated in rich colors. I really like some of his more "simple" drawings. It is remarkable how much character and personality he captures with a few simple lines.

Those dishes are fantastic! I love anything recycled in inventive ways, I have a chair made from old rice sacks bound together which I adore. And those line drawings by Eduard Erlikh are absolutely gorgeous!!! I remember doing a project of just line drawing, and it is so much harder than one would think to draw a good piece.

Did you ever make a plate for your mom for mother's day or anything? Like where you would draw on a special piece of paper and your teacher would send it away and they'd mail back your childish scrawled plate.
Anyway, those plates kinda remind me of that in a way. I really don't know why, but they do. And I like them!

The U.S. Department of Education says that if borrowers are struggling to pay their federal student loans, they should contact their loan servicer to discuss options for relief such as:
- Income-based repayment, which can cut payments to 15 percent of borrowers' discretionary monthly income. It also can extend the life of the loan for up to 25 years.
- Consolidating federal loans into a single, monthly payment. The fixed-interest rate loan can be repaid over 30 years.
- Forbearance. It's temporary relief for those facing a short-term financial hardship. During forbearance, payments are suspended but interest continues to accrue.
Those who have defaulted — meaning they haven't made a payment in nine months — also should contact the agency attempting to collect the debt. Options to clear the loan from default include:
- A repayment plan.
- A loan rehabilitation, in which the borrower and the education department agree to a monthly amount followed by a series of on-time payments.
Details about both federal and private loans can be found at the following web sites:
- Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, http://www.consumerfinance.gov/students/
- U.S. Department of Education, http://studentaid.ed.gov/
- Finaid!, a privately-run website that provides comprehensive information on student financial aid, advice and interactive tools. http://www.finaid.org/

My son just turned a year and is still a pretty frequent nurser; he is slow on solids.
The past couple of weeks have been extremely painful on the right side. I did some research on Kelly Mom and think our issue is nipple blanching due to teeth and latch. I have worked on getting a better latch but the blanching and pain continue. It is painful while nursing but worse after he is done. The left side is fine; no pain at all.
Would it be crazy to stop nursing on the right side? Any tips on helping with the right side?
I'd love to let him self wean but the pain is overwhelming.

- Title
- Interpreting atomic force microscopy measurements of hydrodynamic and surface forces with nonlinear parametric estimation
- Author(s)
- Cui, Song; Manica, Rogerio; Tabor, Rico F.; Chan, Derek Y. C.
- Abstract
- A nonlinear parameter estimation method has been developed to extract the separation-dependent surface force and cantilever spring constant from atomic force microscope data taken at different speeds for the interaction between a silica colloidal probe and plate in aqueous solution. The distinguishing feature of this approach is that it exploits information from the velocity dependence of the force-displacement data due to hydrodynamic interaction to provide an unbiased estimate of the functional form of the separation-dependent surface force. An assumed function for the surface force with unknown parameters is not required. In addition, the analysis also yields a consistent estimate of the in situ cantilever spring constant. In combination with data from static force measurements, this approach can further be used to quantify the extent of hydrodynamic slip.

Hi, first of all, reading and posting on the forum is the only thing keeping my spirits up while EPing and tube feeding my LO! So thanks
My DD has a cleft palate so she can't suck. My question is, when we get cleared to oral feed -- in a couple weeks I hope -- so around 4 months old, I want to skip trying to bottle feed (which is generally the only suggestion) and try to use the SNS (Supplemental Nurser by Medela).
But so far, everything with the ped, doctors, and therapists have centered around trying the Haberman feeder bottle. I want to give BF the best chance I can, but how can I persuade the therapists to go for it without allowing myself to be bullied?? My opinions tend to get brushed aside, and I am working on being more vocal, but I just don't know how to say that I don't want to bottle feed -- or at least only do it as a last resort.
*****DD gains well through her G Tube -- but the therapists act as though BF will be too much extra work for the baby. Is BF that much more work than bottle feeding? What do I say!?!?!?!?!?!

A friend of mine had a baby about a week and a half ago.
The baby would not latch on I guess, so the hospital had her pump for a few days and give it to the baby via bottle.
Well they sent her home with the baby still not latching on, and no pump. I had even called the hospital right after I heard the baby was not latching on, and asked if they had a lc on duty. They said no, but the nurses know eniough. I was not impressed.
She says she has tried the nipple shield to no avail.
She said that she is giving her lo formula, and expressing milk by hand in a warm shower.
I told her this morning to get a script from the doc for a breast pump, and the state would pay for the rental. That way she could at least keep her supply up until someone can help her with getting the baby latched on.
I am so frustrated because she has NO help. I live 4 hours from her. She lives in the boonies, and I can not find a lc to help her free of charge. grrrr...
sorry not really any questions, just ranting
I can't even find a LC to pay up where she lives.

Running local browser tests can be a pain for a couple of reasons. They're generally not intuititive to write, and they take an age to run. Using the new selenium-webdriver with watir solves both these issues. Watir tests are easy to write:
browser.goto "http://google.com" browser.text_field(:name => 'q').set("Watir is working!") browser.button(:name => 'btnG').click
and you can run selenium in "headless" mode. This means that you don't see a browser instance opening and running the tests like in normal selenium tests, but rather it's run using HTMLUnit.
I wrote the instructions below to help people set up their environment for some recent training. You can also download them in PDF format.
Installing Ruby
We will be installing Ruby version 1.9.2 – the latest version of Ruby. You can download the installer from:
Download the file, save it on your desktop, and once complete, double click on the .exe file to open it. Agree with any security warnings that appear.
Installing Ruby
You should now see this window:
- Click "Next"
- Select "I accept the license" and click "Next"
On the next screen:
- Change the installation path to "C:\Tech\Ruby192"
- Check the "Add Ruby executables to your PATH" checkbox
- Check the "Associate .rb and .rbw files with this Ruby installation" checkbox
The screen should now look like this:
Click "Install"
Once installation is complete, you should see this screen:
Click "Finish", and the installer will close.
Testing Ruby Installation
We're now going to test that ruby has installed properly by running ruby.
Open the windows Command Prompt by clicking on the start menu, and clicking "Run".
When the "Run" popup appears, type "cmd" into the text box and click "Ok":
When the Command Prompt appears, type:
ruby –v
and press Enter. You should see the ruby version number as in this screenshot:
Here you can see we have installed ruby version 1.9.2p0.
Installing Ruby DevKit
The rest of this howto (except for the paths) works across pretty much any operating system. There are some problems compiling some Ruby gems on Windows because of the lack of a C compiler installed by default. The Ruby DevKit takes care of all of this for you.
First of all, download the DevKit from:
Download the file, save it on your desktop, and once complete, double click on the .exe file to open it. Agree with any security warnings that appear.
When the 7-Zip self-extracting archive window pops up, you should change the path to:
Once the file has extracted, open the Windows Command Prompt by select Start / Ru, typing "cmd" and pressing Enter.
Next, navigate into the directory that you just extracted the files into. For instance:
cd ../../ cd Tech/Ruby-DevKit
Now type:
ruby dk.rb init
Which will generate a config file which should list the version of Ruby that we installed earlier.
notepad config.yml
To check that it's OK. You should see a line at the bottom of the file which reads:
- C:/Tech/Ruby192
Next, we will install the DevKit enhancements. To do this, type:
ruby dk.rb install
Which should produce:
Finally, to check that the installation has been successful, we're going to try compiling a gem (see section 2.4 below for a full explanation of gems) to check this installation. Type:
gem install rdiscount --platform=ruby
RDiscount should install correctly and you should see:
Temporarily enhancing PATH to include DevKit...
in the screen messages.
Next type:
ruby -rubygems -e "require 'rdiscount'; puts RDiscount.new('**Hello RubyInstaller**').to_html"
and press enter. You should see:

Hello RubyInstaller

In summary:
Installing Ruby Gems
Gems in Ruby are self-contained programs or libraries. So, the "mysql" gem contains code that you may use to connect to mysql. I say may as there can be multiple gems that do the similar things in different ways. For instance there are two well known and competing Object Relational Mappers – DataMapper and ActiveRecord.
In this section we will download and install the gems you will need to test.
To do this, return to the command prompt you have open above, and type in:
gem list
This lists the gems which are already installed.
We will now download and install the gems you need; which are:
- selenium-webdriver
- watir-webdriver
- rspec
- ruby-debug-ide
- test-unit
The gem package manager will also download any dependencies that are required by these gems, and that you do not have installed. Return to the Command Prompt window, and type:
gem install selenium-webdriver watir-webdriver rspec ruby-debug-ide test-unit --platform=ruby
and press "Enter".
Note: When installing gems on Windows with DevKit, you should always append
-- platform=ruby
This ensures that the source is downloaded and compiled locally rather than binaries downloaded which will not work on windows. More information can be found here: http://github.com/oneclick/rubyinstaller/wiki/Development-Kit under the heading "Example Native RubyGem Installations using the DevKit".
It may take a while to complete, but once done you should see output that looks like this:
Installing Selenium
Although we will be creating tests using Watir, which is a Ruby test API, the tests will be run by a Selenium server. The call stack looks like this:
Watir tests -> Watir-Webdriver -> Selenium-Webdriver -> Selenium Server
This means that you can run Selenium tests without having it open a browser window. This is called running "headlessly". This is much, much faster than having watir open a browser and run the tests. This means that you can run tests headless locally, prior to checking in, and then the build server can take care of the longer and heavier cross browser testing in the nightly build.
We're going to install the standalone selenium server on your PC. To do this:
Create a new directory; C:\Tech\Selenium\
Go to http://code.google.com/p/selenium/downloads/list, and download the latest version of the selenium-server-standalone-2* file, saving it to C:\Tech\Selenium\
Open the Windows Command Prompt by clicking Start / Run, typing "cmd" and pressing Enter.
Navigate to the Selenium directory and list the contents by typing:
cd ../.. cd Tech/Selenium
You should see:
Now we're going to start the Selenium server. Type:
java –jar selenium-server-standalone-2.0a5.jar
replacing 2.0a5 with the version number of your version. The Selenium server will now start. When the security alert appears, click the "Unblock" button:
You should see something like this in the Command Prompt window:
This means that the Selenium server is up and running and waiting for connections on port 4444. Leave the window where it is, as we will return to it later.
Installing the IDE
Everyone has their favourite IDE, but if you do not have one yet and want one that works well with Ruby, then Netbeans is a good choice. In this section we will install Netbeans and configure it for use with the version of Ruby we just installed.
Install the Java JDK where required
Netbeans is a Java application and needs the JDK (Java Development Kit) to run. So that we can be sure that everyone's IDE works in the same way, we're first going to download the current version of the Java JDK from here: http://is.gd/fdHJl
Download the file, save it on your desktop, and once complete, double click on the .exe file to open it. Agree with any security warnings that appear.
You should now see this window:
Click "Next"
Next, you will see the installation options page. Leave the default options as they are and click "Next":
The installation will start.
When the installation is about half way through, a second window will pop up. This is for the JRE – Java Runtime Environment. You will see a window that looks like this:
Click "Next", and the JRE will be installed.
The second window will disappear when the JRE has been successfully installed, and you will be left with:
Click "Finish" to close the window. When the browser window opens asking you to register, close it again.
Installing Netbeans
We're going to download the Ruby version of Netbeans, which you can get from here:
Download the Ruby version, save it on your desktop, and once complete, double click on the .exe file to open it. Agree with any security warnings that appear.
The first installation screen asks you which server you want to install with the IDE. As we're not going to be doing any web development, deselect the "Glassfish Server Open Source Edition 3.0.1" checkbox:
Then click "Next".
On the next screen, accept the Terms & Conditions by checking the checkbox, and select "Next".
The next screen asks you for your installation location and the location of the JDK. The screen should look like this:
You must ensure that the "Java environment for the NetBeans IDE" path matches the one you just installed:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.6.0_21
Click "Next".
Click "Install"
Once the registration is done, uncheck the "Register" checkbox and click "Finish".
1.5.3 Configuring NetBeans
We're now going to check that NetBeans is configured correctly. To start, open NetBeans by selecting:
"Start / All Programs / NetBeans / NetBeans IDE 6.9.1"
Once it's finished loading, select the Tools menu and select "Ruby Platforms"
You should now see the "Ruby Platform Manager", which shows the different versions of Ruby installed on your computer. You should see two versions:
- Built in JRuby 1.5.1 – which comes bundled with NetBeans
- Ruby 1.0.2-p0 – the version we installed earlier
Click "Close" to close.
Testing your installation
Lastly, we're going to test that your installation works by writing a quick test that uses Watir to run a test against the google homepage.
Create a new project
With Netbeans open, select "File" from the top menu, and then "New Project".
In the new project dialog, select "Ruby" in the middle section, and then "Ruby Application" in the right panel.
Click "Next".
On the next screen:
- Rename the project to "RubyTraining"
- Change the "Project Path" to "C:\Tech\Projects"
- Deselect the "Create Main File" checkbox
- Change the Ruby Platform to "Ruby 1.9.2-p0"
The screen should now look like this:
Click "Finish".
Create your test file
Once the project has been created, right click on "Source Files" in the project pane, select select "New" / "Ruby File".
Enter "google_test" into the 'File Name" text box, and click "Finish".
When the file opens, select all of the text in the file and replace it with the text below:
require 'watir-webdriver' browser = Watir::Browser.new(:remote, :url => "http://127.0.0.1:4444/wd/hub", :desired_capabilities => :htmlunit) browser.goto "http://google.com" browser.text_field(:name => 'q').set("Watir is working!") browser.button(:name => 'btnG').click puts browser.url browser.close
Save the file by pressing "Ctrl + S" or selecting File / Save from the menu.
This script
- goes to www.google.com
- enters "Watir is working!" in the question box
- Presses the search button (btnG)
- "puts" (prints to screen) the new browser URL
- closes the browser
Run your test file
We're now going to run this file in debug mode. To do this, either press "Shift + F6", or select "Run" / "Run File" from the top menu.
When the Windows Security Alert pops up, select "Unblock".
You'll only need to do this once.
The IDE's appearance will now change as the file is run.
When it's finished, click on the "Output – google_test" tab in the lower right pane. You will see the output of the script:
The important line here is:
This is the new URL that the script "put"
If you check the Command Prompt window where you earlier left Selenium open, you will also be able to see that Selenium has also been logging the output.

Psychiatrist Richard Friedman surprised himself one day during a routine appointment with a patient experiencing anxiety about a financial problem.
Bothered by something in his patient Mark's appearance, Dr. Friedman "did something out of pure intuition that I didn't fully understand at the moment. I called his internist while he was in my office and sent him for an appointment a few hours later."
Dr. Friedman was puzzled by his own gut reaction. He routinely encountered people suffering from anxiety and his patient had no previous history of medical illness. He was also worried about what his internist colleague would think—would he laugh?
As it turned out Mark's internist did not have reason to laugh. Mark was not just suffering from anxiety, but health complications in his lung. Care began immediately and Mark's condition improved.
How many healthcare professionals have similar experiences? If they do, how many are willing to admit it? And how would you have felt if you had been Mark? Would you have wanted to make a separate trip to an internist just based on Dr. Friedman's intuition?
Few research studies have been done on healthcare professionals' use of intuition or their patients' attitude toward such a use.
In general, most healthcare professionals are reluctant to discuss intuition for good reasons-their patients, the public, hospital boards, and others do not consider intuition a legitimate part of evaluation and decision making procedures. If healthcare professionals use intuition, they primarily keep it to themselves, or only discuss it with colleagues in safe settings.
Nursing is an exception to this trend. More research studies have been done on intuition's role in nursing than in any other healthcare profession. And the results of studies in the last 10 years are interesting.
In a 2005 review of studies of intuition in nursing, researchers conclude that "Intuition occurs in response to knowledge and is a trigger for nursing action and reflection." (They define intuition by citing the researcher Gritty: "Intuition is the sudden perception of a pattern in a seemingly unrelated series of events...Beyond what is visible to the senses.")In an earlier landmark study, researcher Benner pointed out that while intuition cannot be exclusively attributed to expertise, "the movement from analytical thinking to intuitive decision-making appears to develop as a practitioner reaches the expert level."
In comparison to the number of studies done on nursing and intuition since 1978, there is little research about its use among physicians.
However, this may be changing. A study published in 2003 focused on the role of evidence-based medicine, the patient, and intuition in the practices of 15 family primary care physicians. The authors state, "There was overwhelming agreement that intuition plays a vital role in the practice of family medicine." The physicians' comments included:
The stories of physicians who are willing to talk about intuition, such as that of Dr. Friedman at the beginning of this section, demonstrate the variety of ways that intuition speaks in the clinical setting. Here are some examples.
Many providers and groups of providers are beginning to incorporate intuition into ways they care for patients. Here is one example.
Abbott Northwestern Hospital in Minneapolis opened its Institute for Health and Healing in 2004 with a new model that includes care teams composed of a nurse clinician, a massage therapist, and an acupuncturist. These care teams are available for consultation based on requests from the hospital's healthcare professionals or the patients themselves.
Because of the positive research on the role of intuition in nursing, the teams received intuition training and today intuition is integrated into their daily activities. Team members meet every morning to set their intention to heal and help those they are scheduled to visit that day. This is their morning invocation.
|As we
begin this workday,
we invite in
spiritual support
of the highest good
to guide us.
May we
be clear channels
to do our work
with ease and grace,
keeping the patient's greatest
and highest good as primary.
May we
remember our
connection to the earth,
the heavens,
our inner knowing
to each other and
to all sentient beings.
|May we
each value time for
self-care to
replenish our own
energy reserves.
Whoever is referred
is the right person,
Whatever work comes,
it is the right work.
Whenever it happens
is the right time.
And so it is.
Members of the team are encouraged to use their intuition to assess: What is needed, beyond what is required, by our patients today? By the healthcare professionals we will interact with? By family members we encounter? By the staff that serves our patients? And, by patients not on the list who we feel intuitively called to visit?
This openness to intuition allows the teams to act collaboratively on an intuitive level, just like a sport team performing "in the zone," knowing what to do and when to do it.
The results are impressive. In 2004, when in-hospital care teams began their work, they received about 200 referrals a month from physicians and patients and in 2006, that number has soared to 1300 patient visits a month.
Dr. Norman Shealy coined the term 'medical intuitive' to describe someone who is able to intuitively 'see' and diagnosis patients without the use of logical information. In 1973, Dr. Shealy began to test various medical intuitives' abilities and later identified Caroline Myss as 93 percent accurate.
Working with Dr. Shealy and on her own, Caroline Myss popularized the concept of the medical intuitive and explored with the public the meaning and methods of healing itself.
Because this site focuses on your intuition (rather than seeking someone else's intuitive input), we do not cover medical intuitives in detail here. We will just suggest that if you wish to seek the input of a medical intuitive about a health challenge, choose someone who is also a licensed healthcare professional. It is also advisable to get a second opinion whenever you are facing health issues.
Although research in nursing and medicine reflects that healthcare professionals use intuition in clinical settings, there is reluctance among professionals to discuss its use. Many questions about intuition's clinical use remain, including the following. How does intuition operate in clinical settings? Is expertise required for intuition to flourish? What role is intuition playing in clinical judgment and decision-making? How can intuition research be refined?
Perhaps Phillipus Aureolus Paracelsus, a famous 16th century physician, summarized this most clearly when he said: "Medicine is not only a science; it is also an art."

Local colleges taking precautions against the flu
Published On: Jan 15 2013 11:09:58 PM CST
Local universities are trying to spread extra education with the flu outbreak this season.
Viterbo University is sending flu safety information through email and other means to all students. It includes things to watch for and what to do if they get sick.
One of those suggestions is to stay home and avoid high traffic areas. "If a student that's living on campus is ill, we don't want them in large places that people gather, such as the cafeteria, so we will arrange for a sick tray so that they can have their food brought to their room," said Viterbo's Director of Health Services Sue Danielson.
UW-La Crosse also offers sick trays for their on-campus students.
Viterbo's Health Services Center can also send medicine home with a roommate.

I've been back at work for a few weeks and always pump 8oz.
It seems to be JUST enough for the baby but I am afraid of a growth spurt day, any day now, and in that case, I will not have enough for her.
Can I do anything now to increase my output?
My schedule:
BF 2:00 am (Left)
BF 4:00 am (Right)
Pump 5:30 am (both) - 2-3 ounces (I leave this warm milk for baby)
I leave to work and am there until 3:30 pm
Pump 8:30ish (3 ounces)
Pump 11ish (3 ounces)
Pump 1pm-ish (2 ounces sometimes less )
Considering I've noticed my supply dwindle in the evenings - I do not pump again to save the milk until I get home to the baby.
She is waiting for me with with an open mouth (like a little baby bird ) and basically I nurse ALL EVENING. She wants to be latch the entire time. I feel like I'm not making enough.
Anyway - #1 - How do I increase supply w/o making baby suffer in the evenings? #2 - Is there a way I can get a surge of milk in the evenings to make my evenings smoother? (I plan on posting in another are for this question as well.) This way I can pump at 3ish?
Sorry - Side Note: Baby is 12 weeks - 15 pounds (big girl @ birth) - BF when I am home and I pump at work - just to let you know, shes probably the cutest baby...ever.

The Congressional Budget Office projects the 2013 budget deficit will drop below $1 trillion for the first time since 2008 to $845 billion.
The CBO anticipates economic growth will remain slow this year; the unemployment rate -- currently at 7.9 percent -- is also expected to remain above 7.5 percent through next year.
However, the CBO projects economic growth to speed up after this year.

Long story short I've come to the conclusion that my issue with BFing my first child is due to insufficient glandular tissue. I've done some research as to what herbs will best help once I give birth to my 2nd. I'm due the 25th of June and I'm trying to get answers as to how much the suggested dosage is on the list of herbs I have here to take. I've already started taking goats rue about a week and a half ago, I just take the suggested amount on the bottle. Since the other herbs I have aren't specifically bottled for milk supply i was curious as to how much I should take. I hope you ladies can help me out!
Saw Palmetto?
It would be helpful if you could tell me the MG I should start out taking since I purchased them in capsule form, thank you!
I also have the "More milk special blend" and the Mothers Milk tea...

No. 2: "Endless Summer" (1966)
The beach has served as a backdrop for a long string of surfing documentaries. More recent notables include "Riding Giants" (2004), a vivid history of big-wave riders, and "Step Into Liquid" (2003), which features unforgettable surfing footage and gets inside the heads of wave riders as it follows them to their favorite beaches.
But the pioneer of the genre is still one of the best.
"Endless Summer" is also a fun historical snapshot of the sunny side of the 1960s. The movie follows two American surfers as they travel the world in search of the perfect wave, an adventure that takes them to Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii.
Filmmaker Bruce Brown narrates the film with humor and a sincere fondness for the surf and the planet's beaches.

Your Turn: Your Feedback On Judge, Baby Ad & Speedway
St. Lawrence County Judge Jerome Richards is drawing criticism for encouraging Patrick Lloyd and Miranda Green to accept a plea deal during their attempted kidnapping trial. Town Supervisor Joe Gray says Richards is "unfit to serve on the bench:"
I don't think any judge should be giving out advice to criminals! Isn't that why they have lawyers?
The only point he proved was how dumb people can be.
The Adirondack International Speedway will be back in action next month after a four year shutdown. The owner says taxes and other issues that resulted in its closing are now in the past:
It is good to be able to once again hear the sound of racing engines!
