Since the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival began in 2005 to benefit the pediatric oncology program at Cabell Huntington Hospital, more than $130,000 has been raised for the children's hospital project fund, which has collected almost $12 million for the Hoops Family Children's Hospital.
"This is one of the most anticipated events in downtown Huntington, and it is a day that we are proud of because of the awareness and money it raises for the Hoops Family Children's Hospital at Cabell Huntington Hospital," said John Mandt Jr., owner of Stewart's Hot Dogs. "The Hot Dog Festival involves so many people in our community and it brings attention to this great cause."
Each year, dozens of hot dog vendors from across the region and state come to Huntington's Pullman Square to showcase their sauces and specialties. It is an annual event that is already set for July 27, 2013 with plans to expand even further, said Kym York-Blake, senior marketing consultant for Clear Channel Media + and the festival's event coordinator. Clear Channel promotes and provides staffing for the event each year.
"It is an honor for Clear Channel and our employees to be involved with this event," York-Blake said. "Everyone volunteers their time and we are thrilled to have a role in providing something unique for families that is fun and that supports a local cause for local children."
Following their check presentation at Cabell Huntington Hospital, on-air talent Judy Eaton of TCR Country, Ryan "Zip' Zipperian of WAMX-FM and KEE 100 Morning Show hosts Tia Fletcher and Dave Roberts toured the areas that will be reconstructed during the Hoops Family Children's Hospital project. Clear Channel Media + Entertainment includes KEE 100, TCR Country 103.3, Oldies 97.1, X106.3, 800 WVHU, FOX Sports 1230, and the new 24/7 Comedy 107.1.
"We have so many wonderful donors like John Mandt and Clear Channel who have helped us get to where we are with the Hoops Family Children's Hospital project," said David Graley, vice president and chief operating officer of the Cabell Huntington Hospital Foundation. "We greatly appreciate the support from those who attend the festival and the commitment of the team of individuals that works all year to organize the West Virginia Hot Dog Festival."

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (95 votes).
In short: Too much alongside the busy A20 for my liking and not enough hills to challenge you.In full: I would only do this again as part of prep for a road marathon as I would have liked some off-road climbs across the beautiful Kent Downs - maybe Pilgrims' Way?The organisation was good and the marshalls friendly. The hotel was an excellent venue and it was a delight not to have to queue for a portaloo!Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: A really unusual race, excellent HQ in hotel, two distances tochoose from, A20 path was cramped and muddy with cars speeding past. Lack of organisation of the marshalls on remote country lanes meant I got lost and ran more than 3 extra miles....In full: Fantastic facitities at the start. Remarkably, and uniquely in my experience, there was even no queue for the loo!Staggered start needed because much of the race was on a narrow path along the busy A20. Overtaking was very difficult but runner numbers were small enough that this was not a major problem. There were lots of marshalls which was good, however the remote lanes have many side turns and I frequently found myself guessing which way to go. At nine miles continuing on the main lane proved to be an error and I ran, along with the race leader, about 1.8 miles until a cycling marshall caught us and sent us back up the hill to the course. Needless to say the 24.5 miles was slightly more than I had planned for the day.Another minor grumble was the 20 mile post was only a few hundred yards short of the '21 mile' finish line.Despite my comments, if the course is signposted carefully next time and ideally if there is less A20 footpath, then this could become an excellent event. Date of review: March 28, 2010
In short: The best marathon preperation race by farIn full: (21 mile route review) Easy to find location, ample parking, started on time, first three odd miles are on the side of the A20 and quite tight in places, then you turn off and up Stede Hill and what a hill it is. A whole mile of pain, into some undulating lanes before a big descent and few more miles on the A20 before the next huge hill and a circuit on top of the Downs and then back onto the A20 for the race home. Super organisation, lovely marshalls at the many food/drink stops.This was the best possible prep for next month mara. Great race thanksDate of review: March 28, 2010

In the debate over a possible Israeli withdrawal from Gaza -- 80 percent of which was already surrendered by Israel in 1994 according to the Gaza-Jericho First policy -- little has been said about Gaza's Jewish roots. Media reports typically depict Gaza as an Arab territory to which Israel has no claim. But the truth is far different.
Gaza has been a part of the Land of Israel since biblical times. The borders of Israel, as defined in God's promise to Abraham in Genesis 15:18-21, stretch from the Euphrates River in the east to the "River of Egypt" in the west, which refers to either the Nile or the Wadi el-Arish, both of which are west of Gaza -- meaning that the borders of the Land of Israel clearly include all of Gaza. In Joshua 15:47, God specifies the areas that are the inheritance of the tribe of Judah -- including "Gaza [Azza, in Hebrew] with its towns and villages." In Judges 1:18, "Gaza with its border" is listed as part of the territory of Judah. In Kings I, 5:4, Gaza is mentioned by name as one of the areas ruled by King Solomon. The area came under foreign occupation during some periods, but the Jewish King Yochanan, brother of Judah the Maccabee, recaptured Gaza in 145 C.E. and sent Jews to rebuild the community there.
The Jews of Gaza were expelled by the Romans in 61 B.C.E., but they returned, and the Roman Emperor Constantinus the Great tried, but failed, to convert them to Christianity in the fourth century C.E. The remains of ancient synagogues have been found in Gaza, including a remarkable mosaic floor adjacent to the Gaza pier, which dates back to approximately 508 C.E.
Throughout the centuries, there was a large Jewish presence in Gaza -- in fact, it was the largest Jewish community in the country at the time of the Muslim invasion (seventh century C.E.). Medieval Christian visitors to the region mentioned the presence of the Jewish community in Gaza. Giorgio Gucci of Florence, in 1384, praised the wine produced by the Jews of Gaza -- Bertandon de la Brooquiere (1432), Felix Fabri (1483), Martin Baumgarten (1507) and George Sandys (1611).
The Jews of Gaza were also mentioned in the writings of Jewish travelers, such as Benjamin of Tudela, Ovadia of Bartenura (1488), and Meshullam of Voltera (1481), who wrote of their real estate holdings, wine industry and hilltop synagogue. The Egyptians, under Ibrahim Pasha, destroyed that synagogue in 1831; interestingly, the Arab neighborhood built on its ruins is called Khart Al Yahood -- "the Jewish neighborhood."
The medieval Jewish communities of Gaza included many famous rabbinical authorities, among them the kabbalist Rabbi Avraham Azoulai, author of the famous book Hessed L'Avraham, and Rabbi Yisrael Najara, author of the 16th century hymn, "Kah Ribbon Olam," which to this day is sung at Sabbath tables throughout the Jewish world. Rabbi Najara is buried in Gaza.
The fact that the most infamous false messiah in Jewish history, Shabtai Zvi, launched his movement in Gaza in the 1660s indicates that there was a sizable Jewish community there at the time.
Writing about the question of whether or not living in Gaza fulfills the biblical requirement [mitzvah] to live in the Land of Israel, the famous 18th century sage Rabbi Yaakov Emden, in his book, "Mor Uketziya," wrote: "Gaza and its environs are absolutely considered part of the Land of Israel, without a doubt. There is no doubt that it is a mitzvah to live there, as in any part of the Land of Israel."
When the Jews were expelled from Spain and Portugal in the 1490s, some of them moved to Gaza, and after the Ottoman occupation of Gaza in 1517, there is evidence of continuing Jewish residence there. The Jews of Gaza were forced to leave the area when Napoleon's army marched through in 1799, but they later returned.
There were Jewish neighborhoods in Gaza in the late 1800s, a Jewish school was established in 1910, and a Jewish bank was created in 1914. Beginning in 1906, the chief rabbi of the Gaza Jewish community was the famous Nissim Ohana, who later served as chief rabbi of Cairo and then Haifa, Israel. Deported by the Turks after World War I erupted, the Jews returned in 1919, began operating the area's windmill and hotel, and established a Jewish day school called Shimshon, named after the biblical hero Samson who died in Gaza.
When Palestinian Arabs threatened to slaughter the Jews of Gaza during the 1929 pogroms, the British ruling authorities forced the Jews to leave. But in 1946, the Jews returned, establishing the town of Kfar Darom in the Gaza Strip, which lasted until 1948, when Egypt occupied the area. Kfar Darom was established on the site where a Jewish town of the same name had existed in the third and fourth centuries C.E. -- indeed, the Talmud, in Tractate Sota, refers to a famous rabbinical sage as Eliezer, the son of Yitzhak of Kfar Darom.
During the Egyptian occupation of Gaza in 1949-1967, Egypt refused to let Jews live in the area. Only Arabs were permitted. Interestingly, the international community said nothing about this Egyptian form of apartheid. Finally, after the 1967 war, when Israel took over the territory, Jews were able to return to Gaza and rebuild communities there.
From the biblical era through the Middle Ages and into modern times, Gaza has always been an integral part of the Jewish homeland. Even when they were persecuted or deported, the Jews fought tenaciously to return and rebuild their homes in Gaza. Today's Jewish neighborhoods in Gaza have deep roots indeed.

N.Y. Power Authority Announces First Power Production At New Clean Power Plant In Queens
Michael Saltzman
(914) 390-8181
July 1, 2011
NEW YORK—The New York Power Authority (NYPA) today announced the first commercial power at a new natural gas-fueled generating facility in Astoria, Queens for providing additional supplies of clean, economical electricity in time for the peak summer demand season. Using the latest technologies, the plant will also improve air quality by displacing electricity production from older, less efficient power plants, reducing carbon emissions.
The new plant, which is the first major generating facility to be placed in service in New York City in more than five years, officially began dispatching electricity for the benefit of NYPA's New York City governmental customers at 12 a.m. Friday. The commercial operation followed several weeks of testing.
Astoria Energy II LLC built the 550-megawatt (MW) facility to meet the requirements of a 20-year power supply contract with NYPA, which will purchase the generating output for its governmental customers. The facilities and services of those customers include schools, hospitals, municipal buildings, and the subways and commuter trains.
In January 2010, the Power Authority ceased operations of an 885-MW generating unit at the Charles Poletti Power Project in Astoria, stemming from a 2002 agreement with public officials and environmental groups. The new Astoria Energy plant will help offset the loss of the more-than three-decade-old Poletti unit for NYPA's meeting the electricity demand of thousands of public facilities and services, from its own economical generation and power purchases.
In addition to the City of New York, the Power Authority's governmental customers include the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the New York City Housing Authority, and the New York State Office of General Services. The customers supported NYPA's power purchase agreement with Astoria Energy, committing to cover the costs of the power in a separate contract with the Authority.
The new plant uses a combined-cycle technology in which hot exhaust gas normally lost in the combustion process is captured by heat-recovery steam generators to produce additional
electricity. That makes the new facility more efficient and cleaner than conventional single-cycle power plants, with its consuming approximately 30 percent less fuel per unit of electricity.
(NYPA has two combined-cycle plants of its own, in Queens and on Long Island.)
More than 1,000 building trade workers, including electricians, boilermakers, pipefitters, iron workers, and carpenters, were engaged in the construction of the new plant at the peak level of activity. The construction was completed in just over two years, beginning in early-2009.
The plant is at a 23-acre site at 17-10 Steinway St., where Astoria Energy placed into service another combined-cycle facility in May 2006 for providing power to Con Edison.
In addition to power supplies, the Power Authority meets the electricity requirements of its governmental customers in the five boroughs by partnering with them on energy efficiency and clean energy initiatives for lowering their electricity demand from the power grid. Over the last two decades, NYPA has financed and spearheaded approximately $937 million in energy-saving improvements, for annual savings to those customers of nearly $85 million and reduction of climate-changing greenhouse gas emissions by more than 521,000 tons a year. The projects include such improvements as new fluorescent lighting; upgraded heating, ventilating and air-conditioning systems; new electric motors; more efficient energy management systems; and solar power installations and fuel cells.
The Power Authority also has a summer power demand reduction program in New York City in which the participating governmental customers cut back on their electricity use on the hottest days in return for payments by NYPA. This helps to ensure the reliability of the electric power system on those peak-demand days when the margins between electricity supplies and power-use levels narrow the most.
About NYPA:
■ The New York Power Authority uses no tax money or state credit. It finances its operations through the sale of bonds and revenues earned in large part through sales of electricity. ■ NYPA is a leader in promoting energy efficiency, new energy technologies and electric transportation initiatives. ■ It is the nation's largest state public power organization, with 17 generating facilities in various parts of New York State and more than 1,400 circuit-miles of transmission lines. ■ Approximately 80 percent of the electricity it produces is clean renewable hydropower. Its lower-cost power production and electricity purchases support hundreds of thousands of jobs throughout the state. ■For more information, www.nypa.gov.

ASAPThursday, December 11th, 2008
Confession is good for the soul and it's good for aviation safety. Volunteering to the community that you screwed up gets the problem out where all can look at it and work on future prevention. Several airlines have recently canceled their voluntary safety reporting programs, known as ASAP. On the face of it, it appears that management –union relations have gotten so toxic that they just can't accept the greater good that comes from letting someone off the hook in exchange for getting safety data that might well prevent a major mishap.
As in all these situations, there is truth on both sides with bad actors and vindictive players. It's time for some leadership to get beyond self interest and focus on the greater good. GA has our own version of this, NASA's Aviation Safety Reporting System (ASRS), which allows anyone to point out a safety defect that they observed or may have caused. If there was a violation and the FAA found out about it, they could pursue it but they could not inflict punishment, such as suspension. There is no continuing get-out-of-jail free card here. You can only use the "waiver-of-sanction" deal once every 5 years.
Every pilot should be familiar with this program http://asrs.arc.nasa.gov/– I've used it a number of times myself. ASF receives regular reports from ASRS on problem areas and we often take action to see that a particular problem is taken seriously by those in a position to do something about it.
Fortunately, ASRS is very much alive and well, even as various ASAP programs fall victim to internal politics. Bottom line: the management, unions and FAA need to get ASAP working again – ASAP!
Epilogue to Verify, Verify, Verify : You'll recall we had a really close call in Allentown, PA where a RJ nearly ran down a Cessna that had not cleared the runway. I got a nice note from reader, James Marshall, who felt that I was a bit tough on the RJ crew for "Apparently not visually scanning the runway prior to takeoff."
He had some additional information. "They in fact did, but were unable to clearly distinguish many of the runway features due to the presence of emergency vehicles at the far end of the runway working an accident and the associated scene lighting which significantly reduced their ability to see to the middle of the runway." It's a good reminder that there are often confounding circumstances, another link in the accident chain, that provide additional incentives to verify when anything is out of the ordinary. It also points out the hazards of the before-the-fact analysis that I sometimes do and it's appreciated when someone has factual information to clarify misconceptions.

Deer harvest report a good read
Although deer hunting is probably far from the thoughts of most sportsmen and women at this time, there is a group in the Upper Peninsula that is fully focused on the sport.
The U.P. Deer Advisory Team is the group and the members will be discussing deer issues at a meeting Saturday in Munising.
The panel meets from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Holiday Inn Express on M-28. While the meeting is open to the public, the discussion is limited to team members. If time permits, there will be an opportunity for comments and questions.
Deer advisory teams were established a few years ago for the three zones in the state: The U.P., northern Lower Peninsula and Southern Lower Peninsula. They provide input to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources Wildlife Division.
Included on U.P. team's agenda for Saturday are finalization of its recommendation for buck management in the U.P. and discussion of the deer license restructure package and the 2012 deer hunter harvest survey report.
Buck management is always a hot topic among deer hunters, with opinions running the gamut from very restrictive to very liberal. It will be interesting to see what the advisory team will recommend and whether that recommendation will be followed.
As far as the licensing package goes, most hunters have heard of the plan put forth by the governor adjusts the price of nearly all hunting and fishing licenses, with the goal to increase revenues significantly.
For deer hunters, the increase – which will go into effect in 2014 – will be $5 per tag, from $15 to $20, meaning most of us will pay $40 for the combination license rather than the $30 we will pay this year.
License fees haven't been increased since 1997, so I guess the new package is understandable and hopefully a good chunk of the additional funds will go toward game and fish improvement projects.
Then we have the deer hunter survey report, which is always an interesting document to look over. The report is available on the DNR website at www.michigan.gov/dnr.
Included is 10-page written report on the survey findings and upwards of 45 pages of charts that explain just about any fact you may be interested in.
For example, the number of people who bought a license to hunt deer in Michigan is pegged at about 701,000, which is up about 1 percent from the 691, 215 who purchased a license in 2011.
The number of license buyers is certainly impressive, although it's down about 11 percent from the roughly 788,270 hunters who bought licenses in 2002. That reduction included fewer hunters buying licenses in almost all age groups between 14 and 49 years old.
However, a promising note about the number of hunters were the increases in hunter numbers for the youngest and oldest age groups. It's not difficult to see why there are more young hunters because of the liberalization of minimum age requirements and special hunting programs.
The reason given for more old hunters – a group I fall into – is the large influx of baby boomers in the state's population and we are living longer. The legalization of crossbows a few years back is also credited with more older hunters.
But what about the main thing hunters want to know about – the harvest estimates? Well, the survey found about 415,000, which was not much different than in 2011. However, it was promising to see that the buck harvest was up by about 8 percent during the regular firearm season.
The increase in antlered bucks during the regular firearm season in the U.P. was even more promising, with the survey showing a 23.4 percent increase from an estimated 22,860 in 2011 to about 28,200 in 2012.
These are but a few highlights of the extensive amount of information included in the report, which I believe most hunters would enjoy looking over.

Memorial Bridge closures scheduled for this week
PORTSMOUTH — The Memorial Bridge will be closed to all traffic for three, five-hour periods overnight this week.
The closures will take place Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, from midnight to 5 a.m.
Archer Western Contractors will be making adjustments to the lift machinery during this time.
Steve DelGrosso, project manager for Archer Western, said the lift span machinery has generally been working smoothly since the bridge was opened to traffic in early August, and overall the design/build team is pleased with its performance.
Following this week's work, the bridge is expected to remain open to traffic until some time next month, when the eagle and memorial plaque from the old bridge will be remounted on the Portsmouth end of the new bridge.

Modes of Modality (two conferences)
Munich, 10-12th May 2012, German Linguistics Department, LMU Munich
The aim of both conferences ('Function(s) of modality' and 'Modality, Typology, and Universal Grammar') is to uncover the range of functions and patterns of modality as they are currently known and discussed. The main questions are: What is modality? What are the subtypes of modality? And what are the main characteristics of these subtypes concerning their degree of complexity and their hierarchical order?
Elisabeth Leiss (Munich) and Werner Abraham (Vienna & Munich)
Conference 1 (May 11-12, 2012):
Modality, Typology, and Universal Grammar
The conference aims at a universal definition of modality or 'illocutionary force' that is strong enough to capture the whole range of the different subtypes and varieties of modality in different languages of the world. The conference is part of a research project on 'Un-Cartesian Linguistics'. The aim of this project is to design an alternative approach to Cartesian/ Rationalist models of Universal Grammar. It is a functional approach being rooted in the UG of Modist Universal Grammar of the late 13th century and revived much later by Charles S. Peirce and Roman Jakobson. The aim of the conference is thus to treat modality as part of Universal Grammar, however by avoiding the dead ends of naïve formalism as well as of simplistic anti-functionalism or miss-understood functionalisms. Conference language: English.
Invited Speakers:
Foong Ha Yap (Hong Kong), Patrick Grosz (MIT & Tübingen), Malte Zimmermann (Humboldt-University, Berlin)
Conference 2 (May 10-11, 2012):
Function(s) of Modality (Meeting of the working group 'Modalität im Deutschen')
The meetings of the international working group on 'Modality in German' (Arbeitskreis für 'Modalität im Deutschen') focus on different subareas of modality. This time, the aim is to obtain an overall view and provide a definition for the function(s) of modality and its subtypes in German which is able to stand the test in cross-linguistic comparison and to provide a solid basis for the understanding of modality within the architectural structure of grammatical categories. Conference languages: German, English.
Invited Speakers:
Gabriele Diewald (Hannover), Michail Kotin (Zielona Gora)

This has worked well for anxiety and insomnia
Posted by Elliecats on Jul 29, 2009
I had insomnia for 15 years due to fibromyalgia and also have a severe anxiety disorder from PTSD. I discovered GABA when I was researching how Valium (which I was taking) worked. I have taken GABA now for nearly 2 years now and it WORKS. It has fixed my insomnia problem and has calmed me down considerably. I only take it at night because it does make me very sleepy (for me, that's the point.) It does not appear to have any side effects, except for an occasional brief tingling when I take it on an empty stomach. It does not give me a "hangover" the next day. My only problems have been when I tried to stop taking it cold turkey - my anxiety came back. The other problem has been when I've taken it and then tried to stay awake. Obviously, mixing with alcohol, drugs, benadryl or any other depressant are not good and are not necessary. I would highly recommend this product. It took about 2-3 weeks to get the full effect, but it did help from the start.
GABA is a godsend
Posted by Reviewer1696594 on Jun 05, 2010
Several years ago I was diagnosed with severe panic disorder and the psych I was seeing wanted to put me on benzodiazepines, but being a recovering addict I didn't want to take them. I learned of GABA while taking a course dealing with neurotransmitters. I have found it works beautifully on my anxiety. It has been a genuine godsend for me, controls my anxiety without really sedating me. I was originally getting it from an herbalist who was charging me through the nose for it, then I found iHerb.com. Excellent value, excellent service, got my package when I was supposed to... no muss, no fuss. I have since started getting my other herbal suppliments from iHerb.
Replaced Ambien
Posted by Reviewer2618201 on Sep 09, 2010
My husband was on sleeping meds for years. Despite his doctor telling him they were not addictive, he simply could not sleep without it. We finally decided that there had to be a better solution. After doing some investigating, we decided to give gaba a try. Well, they did the trick... immediately! There was no weaning off period, he just took gaba one night and slept like a baby. He takes 3 capsules about an hour before bed. I would highly recommend this to anyone suffering from sleep problems or for those who want to get off those awful pharmaceuticals.
Gaba is very good for our son who has diagnosis ADD
Posted by Reviewer1900566 on Sep 07, 2010
We have taken away all other medication because this is the only thing that has given any result for our son. This is an excellent product and the price is the best i've seen worldwide. I will stockup some more WELL NOW OUR STOCK WAS DEPLETED SO I ORDERED 4 more of these. My wife who has depression takes them and of course my som with ADD takes them and also I, a 41 year old man, and i take the to feel more relaxed and focused, and the really work ! Less tension and anxiety, lower heartrate, better abality to handle stress, much better durabilty when doing tedious but important work like bookeeping. As i have my own company and still work full time as a electronics repairman these gaba pills really helps me keep on top of things.
Posted by Reviewer2547274 on Dec 28, 2011
My husband is taking Gaba and the whole family is benefiting! Disagreements do not escalate, issues can be dropped, questions can be heard and answered. He notices a difference and he starts each day reaching for his supplements!
Posted by Reviewer1708396 on Dec 08, 2011
I was feeling like my life was out of control, like life was spinning too fast and I couldn't keep up any little thing would stress me especially rush hour traffic. A few days after I started using GABA I found things weren't affecting me the same, I was just letting things just roll along and not fretting over every little thing.
wouldn't sleep without it
Posted by Reviewer2517957 on Nov 04, 2009
I've been diagnosed by a sleep specialist with some interesting sleep disorders, including mini-seizures and sleepwalking. The specialist tried me on meds like Ambien, to which I reacted badly. But I read the medical lit that came with the prescriptions and they all discussed the neurotransmitter GABA. So I tried GABA. Seizures and sleepwalking are very rare occurences now. I wake up refreshed with no sleeping-pill hangover effect. I have since recommended GABA to friends with high-stress lives, bad sleeping habits etc and they all swear by it too. Now brands are the best value and iHerb is the best company to shop with!
Mental clarity and confidence
Posted by Reviewer2216169 on Apr 17, 2009
I am pleased with this product. Since I started using this product, about 2 weeks ago, I have continued to notice a hightened level of mental clarity which provides me an increased level of confidence.
Works Great instead of medication for anxiety!!!!
Posted by Reviewer2740623 on Feb 16, 2009
Great product!!!!! take 2 instead of having to take valium for my nerves!!!!!

ANAHEIM, Calif. (June 13, 2008) - Friday the 13th was not unlucky for the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team, ranked third in the world, as it defeated Finland, 3-1 (25-18, 25-19, 23-25, 25-20), in its opening match of the 2008 FIVB World League in Espoo, Finland.
The two teams will play a second match on Saturday (June 14) at 8:30 a.m. PDT.
The United States' offensive attack was helped by Finland's 38 team errors, including 21 errors in the first two sets. The U.S. Men converted 54 percent of their kill attempts into points as opposed to 45 percent for Finland. Team USA was 60 percent "excellent" on serve receptions as opposed to 52 percent for Finland.
"For us, this was the beginning of our Olympic Games development," U.S. Head Coach Hugh McCutcheon (Christchurch, New Zealand) said. "Obviously Finland was not at its best in the first and the second sets. In the third set they started to play much better. This was a nice battle and I think it was good volleyball."
Unofficially, David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) scored 15 points for the U.S. Men on 10 kills, four blocks and one ace. Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) contributed 12 points on 12 kills. Ryan Millar (Palmdale, Calif.) added 11 points on nine kills and two blocks. Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) tallied 10 points on nine kills and one block.
Gabe Gardner (San Clemente, Calif.) scored nine points on nine kills. Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawai'i) had four points on four kills.
Setter Kevin Hansen (Newport Beach, Calif.) scored three points on three kills and also had 22 assists.
Libero Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) was credited with one point on one kill, 12 digs and eight positive serve receptions out of 14 attempts.
McCutcheon started Priddy and Salmon at outside hitter, Lee and Millar at middle blocker, Hansen at setter, Gardner at opposite and Labourne at libero. Stanley played the fourth set for Gardner. Delano Thomas (Sacramento, Calif.) also substituted into the match.
Taking advantage of Finland's early mistakes in the first set, the United States held a lead of 8-5 at the first technical timeout and increased it to 12-7 when Finland Head Coach Mauro Berruto took a timeout. The United States' lead was 16-10 at the second technical timeout and the United States' went on to win, 25-18.
The United States led 20-12 in the second set when Finland called a timeout and then started to whittle away at the lead. Three Finland kills in a row cut the U.S. lead to 20-15. Later, with the score 22-18, McCutcheon called a timeout to get his team back on track. It worked, and the U.S. Men went on to win 25-19.
Finland came out attacking in the third set and jumped to an 8-6 lead at the first technical timeout. With Finland leading 10-6, McCutcheon called a timeout to try to bring the U.S. offense back to life. A kill from Priddy and two from Lee combined with Finland's errors tied the score at 11-11, but Finland scored two straight points to get back in control. Finland reached set point first at 24-22. A Priddy kill made it 24-23, but Jukka Lehtonen's kill settled the matter.
The excitement continued in the fourth set as the U.S. Men held a slim 8-7 lead at the first technical timeout and 16-14 at the second. With Team USA leading 20-18, Finland committed a serve error and two attack errors to hand the United States a five-point lead that it never relinquished.
The World League is a six-weekend tournament with matches being played both in the United States and abroad, culminating in a final round on July 23-27 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The World League has a total prize purse in excess of $20 million.

Topic: newbee wants to design routes first - please offer suggestions
Been doing rails for several months. My learning project has half a dozen files with has_many through (join). I have been using scaffold_resource. As the code keeps getting more complex (often refactored), I realize that my top level specification is very weak.
What I would like to do is "test before writing code" regarding route design.
I need some guidance on this. Thanks in advance.

Continuing this week's coverage of IBM's 3Q announcements, today it's all about storage for our mainframe clients.
- IBM System Storage DS8700
IBM is the leader in high-end disk attached to mainframes, with the IBM DS8700 being our latest model in a long series of successful products in this space. Here are some key features:
- Full Disk Encryption (FDE), which I mentioned in my post [Different Meanings of the word "Protect"]. FDE are special 15K RPM Fibre Channel drives that include their own encryption chip, so that IBM DS8700 can encrypt the data at rest without impacting performance of reads or writes. The encryption keys are managed by IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM).
- Easy Tier, which I covered in my post [DS8700 Easy Tier Sub Lun Automatic Migration] which offers what EMC promised but has yet to deliver, the ability to have CKD volumes and FBA LUNs to straddle the fence between Solid State Drives (SSD) and spinning disk. For example, a 54GB CKD volume could have 4GB on SSD and the remaining 50GB on spinning drives. The hottest extents are moved automatically to SSD, and the coldest moved down to spinning disk. To learn more about Easy Tier, watch my [7-minute video] on IBM [Virtual Briefing Center].
- z/OS Distributed Data Backup (zDDB), announced this week, provides the ability for a program running on z/OS to backup data written by distributed operating systems like Windows or UNIX stored in FBA format. In the past, to backup FBA LUNs involved a program like IBM Tivoli Storage Manager client to read the data natively, send it over Ethernet LAN to a TSM Server, which could run on the mainframe and use mainframe resources. This feature eliminates the Ethernet traffic by allowing a z/OS program to read the FBA blocks through standard FICON channels, which can then be written to z/OS disk or tape resources. Here is the [Announcement Letter] for more details.
One program that takes advantage of this new zDDB feature already is Innovation's [FDRSOS], which I pronounce "fudder sauce". If you are an existing FDRSOS customer, now is a good time to get rid of any EMC or HDS disk and replace with the new IBM DS8700 system.
- Full Disk Encryption (FDE), which I mentioned in my post [Different Meanings of the word "Protect"]. FDE are special 15K RPM Fibre Channel drives that include their own encryption chip, so that IBM DS8700 can encrypt the data at rest without impacting performance of reads or writes. The encryption keys are managed by IBM Tivoli Key Lifecycle Manager (TKLM).
- IBM System Storage TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication Gateway for System z
When it comes to virtual tape libraries that attach to mainframes, the two main players are IBM TS7700 series and Oracle StorageTek Virtual Storage Manager (VSM). However, mainframe clients with StorageTek equipment are growing frustrated over Oracle's lack of commitment for mainframe-attachable storage. To make matters worse, Oracle recently missed a key delivery date for their latest enterprise tape drive.
Unfortunately, neither of these offer deduplication of the data. IBM solved this with the IBM TS7680. I covered the initial announcement six months ago in my post [TS7680 ProtecTIER Deduplication for the mainframe].
What's new this week is that IBM now supports native IP-based asynchronous replication of virtual tapes at distance, from one TS7680 to another TS7680. This replaces the method of replication using the back end disk features. The problem with using disk replication is that all the virtual tapes will be copied over. Instead, the ProtecTIER administrator can decide which subset of virtual tapes should be replicated to the remote site, and that can reduce both storage requirements as well as bandwidth costs. See the [Announcement Letter] for more details.
These new solutions will work with existing mainframes, as well as the new IBM [zEnterprise mainframe models] announced this week.

So, with an abundance of tea surrounding me I have begun to leave new teas vacuum sealed until use.
It seems that darker, roasted oolongs have a shelf life of several years when sealed properly.
However, I am curious if anyone has feedback on the effects of leaving a green high mountain tea in its original vacuum packaging for extended storage (more than 2-3 years)?
Is the clock ticking on vacuum sealed green high mountain tea, or does the vacuum sealing allow it to be stored for a few years with good results?
I've not been able to find reports of green oolongs stored for a period of three or so years in vacuum-sealed conditions. (Perhaps this absence of evidence is my answer...)
Trying to decide if I need to power through my cache of green oolongs or if I have some time for the sealed containers.
Any experience or advice welcome!

2013 USAB Master National Championships Scheduled!
Action has recently been taken by the USAB Senior Advisory Group, chaired by Mary Ann Bowles and Andrea Weiss, to update the name of the USA Badminton Senior National Championships to the USAB Master National Championships. The In conjunction with that action and with invaluable input from USA Badminton's Peggy Savosik, the USAB Senior Advisory Group has been renamed the USAB Master Advisory Group.
Badminton Canada long ago established their Canadian Masters tournament, and the Badminton World Federation biannually hosts the BWF World Masters Games. Master players in the world of badminton are those players who have reached the age of 35 and up.
It would be the suggestion of the USAB Master Advisory Group that the other U.S. master age sanctioned tournaments including the Graham/Toms U.S. Senior International Badminton Championships, the Yonex OCBC Senior International, and the Manhattan Beach Badminton Club Senior Fall Open Tournament also consider the name change from Senior to Master.
Attention, badminton players 35 years of age and up! The 2013 USAB Master National Badminton Championships have been scheduled in Fort Myers, Florida, May 21-25. This tournament, formerly known as the USAB Senior National Badminton Championships, is held annually in the spring of the year, determining champions in the 35 and up age groups. Mark your calendars for a great week in Florida!

Comments: Bought a couple of these in Rayburn Red and have never regretted it. This is my go to winter time lipless crankbait. When others are throwing wiggle warts this will outfish them 5 to 1. Holds it's paint very well and puts off a lot of vibration all the way back to your hands.
From: Jesse: St. Robert, MO 8/10/15
Comments: I would like to say this one of the Best Baits on the market but the 3/4 oz bait is a better bait for BIG BASS I live in Virginia in this state a trophy bass is 8 Lbs. or 22 inches long I have a total of 12 of them 5 of them where caught on 3/4 oz. one please bring this bait back to the market 3/4 oz. Black/Silver
From: Frank: Kenbridge, VA 7/17/15
Comments: I've tried so many lipless crankbaits with mixed results. I have a huge box full to prove it. The one bait that consistently performs is this one. I can't even begin to guess why, but it just produces consistently. Ghost color in clear natural lakes, royal red in dirty river systems in spring, foxy shad, gold/black and chrome black almost any time.
From: Brian: Oak Forest, IL 12/26/14
Comments: This rattletrap is ridiculous!!! In a good way. The paint job is amazing, and for the money I have not found a better rattletrap on the market. My buddy caught his personal best on these. Only complaint I have on these is that the hooks are a little small and I tend to lose fish sometimes but other than that they are absolutely great.
From: Nick: USA 6/11/14
Comments: This bait caught me my personal best striper when I was actually fishing for large mouth. Just goes to show how versatile this bait it. My new go-to lure, pick one up, and go and catch fish! tight lines.
From: Justin: Delta, CA 3/27/14
Comments: I have tried many lipless cranks that cost much more than this one but I keep coming back. There is always one tied on in my boat no matter what time of year. I'm a little torn about the paint job. I'm not sure if it is a little weak or it's the large number of fish it catches that takes the paint off. Either way, they still work and work well.
From: Justin: SC
Comments: The real damn deal when it comes to lipless biznaits. This one does it all. You are not a serious lipless bait lover unless you own 3,238 of these. Let those other guys stick with their red eye shads that everyone else uses, I'm throwing the Ex.
From: meatwad: jerkyville
Comments: This one of the best rattle traps on the market, they have a variety of superb colors and is a killer bait in the fall when bass are schooling on shad. i have caught a number of 5 pluses on this bait. Rayburn red, foxy momma and foxy lady are great colors.
From: Matthew
Comments: These are THE BEST rattle baits ive ever used! great vibration durable finish good hooks and they run true at any speed. I wish tw would carry the 1/4 oz size though!
From: Nic: USA
Comments: All time best lipless crankbait. You can burn it with a 7:1:1 and will still run true. Great hooks, great weight options, the pain job is amazing. I have hooked lots of gar and they can barely scratch it. This lure, will last you a very,very long time
From: Tristen
Comments: Best lipless rattlebait by FAR!!! Here in Florida, we have a lot of grass and this bait has the best sound, wiggle, and paint jobs you can as for! I throw just about ANY color too! Gold black, BlueChrome/Org, and Oxbow, and Royal Shad are some of my go-to colors!
From: Jaay: Lake Alfred, FL
Comments: Best trap on the market by far. Great vibration and rattle. Several awesome colors as well. Citrus shad and foxy lady are 2 of the best on the tennessee river. Also rayburn red seems to shine on guntersville. Great quality lures as well. Really fun bait to fish with.
From: Will: AL
Comments: Royal Shad is definately a killer on Gville. These are where its at when it comes to Rattle Baits.
Comments: The bass are sure to slam these! The Royal Shad color is deadly on Guntersville.
From: Bill: Flatwoods, KY
Comments: Excellent bait, when I cant catch anything I tie one of these on and within the first 10 minutes of tying it on I usually catch a bass or two.
Comments: by far much better then any of the strike king red eye shads, when the bass are finicky i would rather use a 1 knocker than a silent strike king kvd one.
From: Nick: IL
Comments: This is best lipless crankbait on the market without a doubt. It catches fish all over Michigan lakes...north and south. It is an amazing choice for Smallmouth Bass (especially the Blue Shiner color). Both me and my brother-in-law have spent a lot of money trying to find a lipless that will out perform this...NOTHING HAS COME CLOSE!!! The rattles emit a sound unlike any other bait out there. A must have!
From: Matt: Michigan
Comments: I bought one two days ago and went night fishing last night and caught an 8 pound large mouth bass on the second cast. The fish could not resist it!
From: Luke: Abilene, TX

Porcupine Balls
- 1 pound lean ground beef
- 1 1/2 cups uncooked white rice, divided
- 1 teaspoon dried onion
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 (14.5-ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
- 1 (14-ounce) can beef broth
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Put the ground beef into a mixing bowl. Measure 1/2 cup of the rice and put it in with the meat. Mix it all together with your clean hands. Form the mixture into 8 or 9 golf ball-size balls.
In a large casserole dish, add the remaining rice, dried onion, salt, Italian seasoning, diced tomatoes and beef broth. Stir together with the spoon and top with the meatballs.
Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake for about 1 hour. The rice in the meatballs will have puffed up all around the meat, and your meatballs will look like little porcupines!
Cook's Note: Let an adult help you remove the dish from the oven with oven mitts or hot pads. When you remove the foil, steam will come out, so be careful!

In short: What a great dayIn full: i thoroughly enjoyed this run, my first marathon and it took me 4.57 but the time flew by. The marshalls were excellent and supportive. The course was very scenic and i hardly noticed any hilly bits. The gravel at mile 17 did come as a bit of a shock but once legs had ajusted was not a problem.A couple of niggly points, such as allowing spectators into the start area, sorry but they just got in the way. A half hour wait for shuttle bus,this could of been better but i was on a high so nothing was going to worry me. an excellent finish with brilliant support felt like i was flying across the finish, though it probably looked like i was crawling. i still cannot stop smiling now. a wonderful race with great people in a beautiful city and its surronds.Date of review: May 27, 2008
In short: A good race. The start and especially the finish were awful.Date of review: March 18, 2008

Training Tips from the Leadville Podium - Page 4
From left to right: Nick Clark, Zeke Tiernan and Anton Krupicka come through the Fish Hatchery. Photo by Rob Timko / Timko Photography
What kind of shoes would you recommend for the course?
Dylan: I'd recommend a sturdy, approximately 10-ounce shoe that's good on both road and trail. Leadville is definitely a runner's course and has very little in the way of technical trail. Really the only technical section is the double crossing of Hope Pass between miles 40 to 60. There are also two river crossings in this section so, often times, runners will change their shoes before and/or after to make sure they have dry feet and appropriate traction for the section ahead. I never changed my shoes in my two finishes and wore a solid trail/road hybrid shoe with plenty of cushioning. In my opinion, for 100 miles, it's crucial to not skimp on cushion, no matter how runnable the course is.
Ashley A: Besides Hope Pass and some sections around Turquoise Lake, it's a fairly non-technical course with a fair amount of road. I'll probably wear the Salomon S-Lab Sense Ultra, the Mantra or the CrossMax 2 … or a combo of all three!
Neal: I recommend a crossover-type shoe that performs well and comfortably on pavement, gravel roads and technical trails.
Liza: The trails are not technical. Road shoes and light trail shoes worked well for me both times that I've run Leadville. Last year, I wore the New Balance 1400s and the Minimus 1010s.
Duncan: I think a supportive shoe is important for 100-mile races period, but having a shoe that is flexible is also vital for all those miles of pavement and dirt roads. Pick one that is roomy in the forefoot and supportive enough for running all day long. Do not sacrifice cushion.
Ashley N: I liked having a trail shoe for the Hope Pass section, but you could get away with road shoes on this course, too.
Nick: I like to wear a shoe with a decent amount of cushioning for any 100-mile race, regardless of terrain. Personally, I'll be wearing the Pearl Izumi Trail N2s.
Tina: Wear something comfortable, and is versatile enough to handle doubletrack, singletrack and roads. I'd recommend the Salomon Sense.
Zeke: I wore the Brooks Cascadia the last time and they felt great the whole way. I think the New Balance 1210 Leadville, which I have been running in lately, would be a fantastic shoe for the race, probably because it was designed for the race.
Ryan: The course is not super technical, so I would recommend a lightweight shoe with good support. The Salomon Sense Mantra or the SLabs would be my suggestion.
Read on to get tips on what else to explore around Leadville ...

BENAC: Huskies can build on success of 2013
Hey, how about them Huskies?
Some of our readers (specifically our non-Atlanta readers) may be getting sick of reading about the Huskies' baseball success this postseason. But if they've dominated our sports section lately its only because they so thoroughly dominated their Division 4 rivals this season before eventually falling in the quarterfinals.
This brush with success has to be a refreshing change of pace for Atlanta. The Huskies have had some success with sports in the past, but lately they've seemed to run into bad luck. The football team had to forfeit several wins this season, which kept them out of a playoff season they would have went to otherwise.
Coaching changes have also plagued the school in recent years as teams have struggled to find a consistent direction. These changes are an inevitable part of a changing program, but it's hard to build a successful team with constant coaching changes, even if a team has the raw talent possessed by Atlanta.
But the Atlanta baseball team seemed to coalesce into a machine this year under the coaching of Sean Barrett, who's consistent passion and understanding of the game helped give his team's raw talent a successful direction and a focus that gave them the drive they needed to make school history.
Any team that only loses three games all season, with the final loss coming in the quarterfinal playoffs, deserves the kind of attention and praise they have received. The Huskies were one of eight teams left in the state in their division and proved to have the depth that makes a team nearly untouchable.
But Atlanta is losing Garrett Badgero this year to the turning wheels of high school graduation. Badgero has been one of the biggest sources of success for Atlanta all season. He pitched for 10 innings in the regional final and helped shut down division rival Hillman in the districts, no small feat considering the Tigers success this season.
Badgero will go on to great things and Atlanta will have to reconfigure a little to make up for this loss. But how much will change with his departure?
The biggest aspect the Huskies have to replace is his pitching, but the Huskies have an ace-in-the-making with Jake Chambers. Chambers pitched a near shutout against Johannesburg-Lewiston in the district finals and will be back as a senior next season as a starter.
The Huskies will also keep pitcher Josh Barrett, who turned into such an asset in the regional final when his team needed him most. Any pitching void left by Badgero's departure can be dependably filled by these two.
But what of the other departing seniors? Atlanta is also losing right fielder Caleb Cumper and designated hitter Brock Baum, two important hitters who continually picked up key hits when it mattered most.
These are tough loses but left fielder Jacob Ross and center fielder Jay Webster aren't going anywhere any time soon. These fleet footed fielders had an instinct for getting in the right position and had strong arms to get the ball where it needed to go.
Any infield left in the hands of first baseman Larry Krzeminski, second baseman Kyle Klein, third baseman Jacob Dobbyn and shortstop Barrett is in good defensive hands.
Who can forget the diving catches made by Klein between first and second that turned a potential single into an easy out at first?
Or the how easily Krzeminski and Dobbyn fielded a vast majority of those easy throws to first and third? It may seem easy to field an infield throw but it takes a sense of calm and focus that Atlanta's infield continued to possess all season.
Perhaps most importantly, Atlanta will retain catcher Taylor Juergens who, in his own words, "turns into a wall" behind home and who never, ever seems to let a wild pitch get past his glove. This is a catcher that snagged several pop up flies in the regionals, including the sixth inning out that shut down a potential scoring opportunity from Norway to help Atlanta hold on to their win.
I fear I'm coming across as a heavy homer right now (though I originally hail from Hillman, a constant rival to Atlanta) and I am aware of the potential problems that Atlanta may face in the upcoming year.
Adjusting to a team without Badgero and Cumper won't be a completely easy task. Both were big hitters and important defense players that simply cannot be replaced.
Another problem that Atlanta may face next year is the element of surprise it possessed all year against opponents. What I mean by that is that Atlanta seemed to come out of nowhere to take on teams that knew little about them.
During the regional and quarterfinal games, I heard fans of opposing teams asking other fans where Atlanta was located. They could rarely accurately answer that question. The most precise answer I heard was "over by Alpena."
The worst was "I think it's in the UP."
That element of surprise worked to the Huskies' advantage this year: people didn't know what to expect beyond "they got a good pitcher." They didn't anticipate the depth of the Atlanta squad and may even have under estimated them.
However, Atlanta is now a team to beat for North Star League opponents like Hillman and Posen. Teams the Huskies faced in regionals and quarterfinals will now understand the Atlanta threat and will be able to prepare better.
But this advantage for Atlanta's opponents is a double-edged sword: Atlanta now has a taste of playoff success. The Huskies now know they can beat tough opponents that they would never have otherwise faced and know what it takes to beat those teams.
The baseball team now has some momentum it can use to build upon for next year and years after. The Atlanta coaching squad now knows what to focus on to get wins and fully understands the kind of plays and strategies that work best.
As long as the Huskies continue to have focus and direction, this is a team we should be hearing from for years to come.
