>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: The third year of this marathon - the Portsmouth Coastal Marathon has got to be one of the toughest flat marathons in the countryIn full: Unlike last year's morning after the night before, this year I woke up without a hangover - hooray. For my 60th I celebrated into the small hours following the 1st marathon of my 60 and a great launch party at the Queens Hotel. Last night however, it was a small family get together for a nice meal and one (or was it two glasses of wine) a birthday cake made by my daughter Lussi and a relatively early night. Yes, this morning I had more marathon business to attend to and my chauffeur Ronald and I left for Pompy just after 7.00am, or to be more precise the Pyramid Leisure Centre, Southsea. I had run the inaugural Portsmouth Coastal Marathon in 2010 in a time of 3:47 which I was really pleased with considering it was my 9th marathon in 10 weeks. The idea then was that those 9 marathons were a trial run to see if my body could cope with running a marathon every week. That 3:47 convinced me my body could even though running 9 marathons is a lot different to running 60 - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/12/23/m53-portsmouth-coastal/Date of review: January 4, 2013
In short: The second year of this marathon and apart from the A20 a great course.In full: Marathons and main roads don't normally go together very well (not for runners anyway) so when I first noticed the 'A20' in the title of the A20 Path 'n' Downs Marathon in Hollingbourne just outside Maidstone, Kent it didn't seem very appealing. But then neither did the Luton Marathon (with all due respect to people living in Luton) which was the only other marathon option for today. So to help me decide which one to go for I read all about the marathons on the relevant websites. In the end I opted for the Velocity Event's marathon as it mentioned running along quite undulating country lanes and over the downs as well as paths alongside the A20 – I thought the contrast would be interesting to say the least. I arrived at the race HQ in plenty of time for the 9.00am start and unlike most race HQ's, which can often be very shabby places, I was immediately impressed with this one as it was the 4 star Mercure Hotel – all very posh. The other good thing was that the start and finish was just on the other side of the A20 with a bag drop tent and even better a burger bar (for post marathon carb replenishment of course). - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/11/18/m47-a20-path-n-downs/Date of review: November 23, 2012
In short: if you haven't run the Snowdonia Marathon, I can really recommend it - it's just great! I think entries for 2013 open at the beginning of January so it's best to enter early as it always fills up.In full: Out of all the marathons I've run this year, this was the one I was really looking forward to the most. The Snowdonia Marathon or Marathon Eryri, which I have run for the last two years, has just about become my all time favorite marathon, even eclipsing the likes of Barcelona, Rome and the VLM. There's just something about the landscape, the environment, the support and yes in late October even the weather, which for the last two years has been dramatic to say the least, with combinations of torrential rain, sunshine, hail, mist and even rainbows. With the marathon being on the Saturday Patsi and I drove up on the Thursday picking my two brothers up on the way. We arrived at the Legacy Royal Victoria Hotel in Llanberis at about 2.00pm. This is the ideal spot to stay if you can, as it's right in the middle of the start and finish which are just a few hundred metres away. I had a few hours to relax after the long drive before I was off again, this time to collect a VIP who had decided to combine his first visit to Wales with running the Snowdonia Marathon. If you're into marathon running big time then you may have heard about Horst Preisler from Hamburg, Germany. Horst, who at 76 is the World Record holder for the most number of marathons completed - this currently stood at 1,796, can you believe that? He was completing a marathon of sorts just to get to the start line, having left Hamburg Airport at 7.00am on Thursday morning his National Express coach was due in at Bangor bus station at 7.10pm and then he had to put up with my driving to get him to his hotel in Llanberis. On the way back from Bangor I asked him about his incredible marathon story. He started to tell me but first apologised for his poor English, I said don't worry, it's very good and anyway much better than my German – all I can say is "Dankeschon" and "Auf Wiedersehen, Pet" (I don't think he got the joke) - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/10/27/m43-snowdonia/Date of review: November 3, 2012
In short: "There's tough, and then there's Trionium... the hardest stuff known to man"! That sums up the Greensand Marathon.In full: Once again, today I was running yet another marathon "In England's green and pleasant land". As some of you may know a lot of my running is around the Dorking area and the Surrey Hills, which consist of the North Downs and the Greensand Hills. There's no easy running around here and as a consequence the local marathons are all tough off road affairs. One of the toughest and, in-fact, claimed to be the hardest marathon in Britain (which I agree with) is the Picnic Marathon. I ran that last year in 2011, it's a brutal two lap event which goes up, down and around Box Hill. It's orginised by Robert McCaffrey (AKA Dr Rob) of Trionium who's strap line is "There's tough, and then there's Trionium... the hardest stuff known to man"! So when planning on running the Greensand Marathon (another of Dr Rob's) earlier this year I knew exactly what I was in for. Starting on the outskirts of Dorking, the marathon, which has a total of 5,200 feet of ascent and descent takes place on the Lower Greensand Ridge which are rocks formed about 110-120 million years ago during the Lower Cretaceous period for all you Geologists out there. Due to the recent rain it was obvious that conditions were going to be muddy even if it didn't rain on the day, and of course there were going to be lots of hills. But the main issue for me and I should think a few others was the strict cut-off time of 73 minutes at the quarter way point (6.55 miles) at the top of Leith Hill with its Gothic tower. This is the highest point in Southeast England from where you can see sweeping views towards London in the north and the English Channel in the south. Any runner, who didn't make it, would be turned back by Dr Rob and his band of merry men, to return to the finish with just a half marathon completed. While not wishing to be disrespectful to half marathon runners, forty one and a half marathons wouldn't have been any good for me, so the pressure was on right from the start. - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/10/21/m42-greensand/Date of review: October 30, 2012
In short: Great that the Clarendon Marathon has been resurrected and long may it continue. In full: I'm afraid I have some bad news for all my supporters - I'm NOT going to be able to complete My 60 Marathons in 60 Weeks at 60 Years Challenge. It's going to be all over on Friday the 21st December at midnight, when I will have completed about 52 of my 60 marathons. In-fact I'm not even going to reach my 61st birthday on Saturday the 22nd. That is if you believe in the prediction of the Maya civilisation (c 2000 BC to AD 250). According to a Channel 4 documentary a few days ago the Maya's predicted that the world would end at midnight on that date, with a combination of cataclysmic events. So therefore, No 61st BBBB, No birthday cake, and definitely No more marathons. While not wanting to diss one of the greatest, if not the greatest civilisations the world has ever known - I'll just keep going and keep my fingers crossed they're wrong and I'm able to carry on. In the meantime back to the running and the Clarendon Marathon - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/10/07/m41-clarendon/Date of review: October 16, 2012
In short: Beauty - the magnificent surroundings of Stonor Park and the Beast the bloody hill you have to go up at the end of each of the 6 laps. In full: Another inaugural marathon (they're becoming a bit of a habit) and another one that does exactly what it says on the tin. Beauty - the magnificent surroundings of Stonor Park and the Beast the bloody hill you have to go up at the end of each of the 6 laps. To give it its correct title 'The Helly Hansen Beauty and the Beast Marathon' was held just north of Henley-on-Thames (all very posh don't you know) in a small valley of the Chiltern Hills. Stonor is one of England's oldest manor houses, situated in one of the most beautiful settings and is the home of Lord and Lady Camoys. It is a place steeped in 850 years of history and is magnificent. To get to the start from the car park you have to climb up a stonking great hill which Patsi and I did so I could register and pick up my number and chip. The mistake I made is that I should have been changed and ready to go (they had a bag drop tent) but of course I wasn't, so had to come back down the hill, change at the car and then rush back up to the top again. Still it was a good warmup and a taste of what was to come and Patsi said she needed the exercise. As it was, the start was delayed for a few minutes while a few late runners were still trudging up the hill. Starting at the top was nice as we had a long descent to get our legs moving but I was very cautious and made sure I didn't get carried away, knowing full well that pay-back time was literally just around the corner - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/09/23/m39-beauty-and-the-beast/Date of review: October 3, 2012
In short: 100% in every department. It's going to rapidly become a classic marathon, right up there with the likes of Beachy Head, New Forest and Snowdonia. In full: After a restless night in the tent with my ribs still hurting and Thomas waking up a few times, I was not very confident about stage two of my marathon double. Unlike yesterday's marathon this one had a 7 hour cut off time and I was a little bit concerned about being pulled out (never happened before) and ending up a DNF (has happened before). I was even in two minds if I should run or not, but eventually convinced myself that there was only going to be one way to find out if I could do it and that was to run the thing - I'm so, so glad that I did. This was the inaugural Purbeck Marathon (I seem to be doing a lot of those this year) and I knew it was going to be as tough if not tougher than yesterday's, having trained on some of this course with my Littledown Harrier club-mates. I have also run the Swanage half marathon twice and the infamous Beast five times which follows some of the route of the Purbeck Marathon. Like the Swanage half the finish was right on the sea-front, but unlike that event the start was high up on the downs with fantastic views over the surrounding area and the Isle of Wight - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/09/18/m38-purbeck/Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: Organised by Nina Hanger and her team of volunteers and all proceeds were going to her small charity 'Hangers Heroes'. In full: As I was still two weeks behind schedule, this weekend was an ideal opportunity to try and catch up at least one of those weeks without having to travel too far. Saturday was The Challenge 2012 South Dorset Marathon, starting and finishing near Chickerell and on Sunday The Purbeck Marathon with the start and finish in Swanage. Knowing the areas these marathons were in, The Jurassic Coast and The Isle of Purbeck quite well I knew it was going to be a tough weekend of running, and just to make things just a little bit harder (I don't do easy) Patsi and I decided to go camping for a long weekend. We set off on Thursday with the car (a Ford Mondao estate) groaning under the weight of all our equipment, in the boot, on the back seats and on the roof rack - we even had our 15 month old Grandson Thomas in there somewhere and of course the kitchen sink - well two washing up bowls anyway. The weather was lovely and we drove straight onto the Sandbanks ferry and were soon on the other side in Studland and on our way to Nordon Farm campsite just on the outskirts of Corfe Castle. - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/09/18/m37-challenge-2012/Date of review: September 24, 2012
In short: The Bacchus Marathon is the English equivalent to the famous Le Marathon du Medoc in Pauillac near Bordeaux, France. The Bacchus is a great local alternative for us Brits.In full: Back for my hat-trick of runs at the Bacchus Marathon and the third year of this fabulous event which is fast becoming a regular on the marathon scene. Organised by Runners and Triathletes Alan and Nicky of 'Events to Live' the marathon, half marathon and fun run are based at the marvellous 'Denbies Wine Estate' near Dorking in Surrey and fancy dress and drinking wine is definitely encouraged. The Bacchus Marathon (named after the Roman God of Wine) starts and finishes in England's largest vineyard and is a two lap undulating and multi-terrain course with a heavy bias towards off road, using footpaths along the North Downs Way and the Pilgrims Way. I completed the inaugural event in 2010 with a time of 3:56 which I was really pleased with - If you would like to read more then check out my full blog here at http://60in60at60.com/2012/09/10/m36-bacchus/Date of review: September 12, 2012

Wrestlers to protest Olympic ruling to drop sportAP , Associated Press
Feb. 20, 2013 4:35 PM ET
TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Wrestlers from the world's top wrestling nations plan to lie on their mats Thursday in Tehran in a unique show of unity to protest a decision by the International Olympic Committee to drop wrestling from the 2020 games.
Csaba Hegedus, a senior official with the international wrestling federation, announced the decision at a meeting attended by officials from the world's top wrestling countries late Wednesday in Tehran.
Iran's Wrestling Federation says members of wrestling teams attending the World Cup Tournament in Iran also will observe a minute of silence to demonstrate their opposition to the decision.
The fight to keep wrestling in the Olympics has brought Iran and the U.S. into a rare alliance, a remarkable display of common cause despite political hostility between them.

Relics of the PastPosted Friday, September 7, 2012, at 4:43 PM
Remembering the past
As I shuffle through my tangled mass of memories, I hear echoes of the past that awaken the ghosts of yesteryear, and the elusive figments of my fickle mind carry me back to a time when I was a six year old boy, living on a farm in south Bollinger County Missouri. I would hear the lonesome whistle of the distant train, and dream of the day that I could explore its vast domain, not realizing that the engineer on this train might be dreaming of the day he could retire from the rambling rails of rust and settle down on a quiet, peaceful farm.
As time passes, the numbers on my calendar propel me through the framework of time, and I hear echoes of the past that bring back memories of the many things that were an integral part of our daily lives, but are now only a ghost of yesteryear.
We don't hear the dinner bell any more, because they have gone the way of the horse and buggy, the corset, and the panama hats. My grandma had a dinner bell, and I remember hearing the "Bang-Bong" of this big bell as she alerted her men folks out in the field that dinner was ready. I also recall that it was not always exactly noontime when she rang this bell, because her only timepiece was an old eight-day, stem-winding, pendulum clock that was just about as dependable and reliable as a homemade sundial on a cloudy day.
There was a time when the housewife used the big black kettle out in the back yard to heat her wash water, and then punished her hands in a tub of hot lye soap water, as she rubbed and scrubbed the weeks supply of dirty overalls, long-johns, and petticoats on a washboard. Today this wash kettle sits in the front yard as a flowerbed. The wash board--that onetime "Lady Killer"-- is now a decorated ornament hanging on the kitchen wall, with hooks for hanging keys and posting notes.
It was a welcome wave of progress as glass insulators were attached to trees that supported the telephone wire, winding its way through south Bollinger County where I lived. This made it possible for neighbors to communicate with each other without having to wade the creek and track through dust or mud to ask a favor or deliver a message. This was a party-line telephone, where anyone along the line could pick up their phone and hear what their neighbors were talking about, so in this respect, any conversation on this party line was just about as confidential as the Indian sending up smoke signals.
Just a few years back, this landline telephone was the main source of telephone service for our homes, businesses, and Internet service. However, it now seems that this is all changing, as modern technology ushers in the advent of wireless communication.
The telephone booth, sitting on the sidewalk outside the business place has already become a "Ketch-All" for unwanted junk, and we see people, young and old, in our stores, often talking to a friend, or another member of their family on their cell phones, comparing prices of an object they intend to purchase.
Grandpa thought he had achieved the ultimate in taking pictures when he purchased a roll of film for his camera, took a half dozen pictures of the family reunion, mailed the film to the developer, and waited a week to see the results of his effort.
Today our six-year-old son or daughter can use his or her wireless telephone to take a picture of the life-size replica of a dinosaur, immediately see the picture and use the same instrument to call a friend telling that friend that he really got a good picture this time. He can send an email to a cousin in another state. This wireless telephone also becomes a GPS as it tells how far it is to our chosen destination and just what route to take to get there.
Today it is estimated that 35% of the homes in the United States have given up their landline telephones and gone 100% wireless, so it may not be long until the landline telephone will go the way of the "Passenger Pigeon."

Paul Corbin is a 100-year-old historian, humorist, and amateur archaeologist from Advance, Mo. He grew up in the Greenbrier area west of Advance, where he attended Stepp School on the banks of Cato Slough and the Castor River, important waterways throughout his life. In an age when many area residents did not go to high school, the young Corbin made the decision to walk the five miles to Zalma, graduating in 1933. Throughout his life, he was an enterprising businessman, selling Watkins products from house to house throughout a large area - and later opening a variety store in Advance. He and his wife Geneva traveled throughout the United States, even following the route that the Lewis and Clark expedition traveled. His knowledge of Native American culture is extensive, and he has donated a sizeable collection of his artifacts to the Cape Girardeau Conservation Nature Center and the Bollinger County Museum of Natural History in Marble Hill. Throughout the years, he has submitted articles to TBY, the North Stoddard Countian, the Ozark Mountaineer, and several other Missouri publications. He has also written two books - "Reflections in Missouri Mud," and "Fragments of my Feeble Mind." The first one is out of print.

CharityVision has quite a few projects underway to help the long-term recovery and reconstruction of the area. They're working to build a larger reserve of medical supplies and to set up a modular hospital facility. They also plan to provide shelter and power to families, hold gardening classes to teach self-reliance, and offer additional services to help those in need. Each of these projects is possible because of the generous donations CharityVision has received from communities and companies around the world.
Although injured, refugees from Typhoon Haiyan smile as they plan to restart their lives
One of CharityVision's major goals is creating projects that will better the living conditions in the affected areas for those who saw their lives turned upside down by the typhoon. All of these projects are to help restore jobs and offer employee growth to those working in those jobs. CharityVision seeks to "Build Back Better".
"We view the reconstruction as an opportunity to build back better," CharityVision posted on their new Facebook page Action Humanitarian which focuses on their efforts in rebuilding the Philippines. "Our current plans include structures that will withstand future storms to avoid the repetitious cycle of rebuilding following destruction." They go on to say that their building plans will provide added protective elements over previous building styles without adding extra cost or skilled labor.
Amongst the chaos and ruin that Haiyan caused, an additional issue has appeared: how does the country keep certain areas of the country occupied when so much of it is desolate and destroyed? Despite the international relief efforts aimed at the Philippines, the quality of life is dwindling in areas where lack of power caused by the typhoon creates a lack of commerce leading to a lack of jobs. Talented workers and students are leaving certain areas and moving to other locations for work. Learn more about the quality of life in the Philippines from the New York Times article "Months After Typhoon, Philippine City Suffers From an Exodus of Jobs"

As you can see, natural disasters can still have effects long after the storm has passed through making it even more important to prepare yourself. In the Philippines, Typhoon Haiyan cased months of difficult—and it isn't over yet. Get started today on your own preparedness plans so you can be as resilient as possible if a disaster strikes.

Operation Safehaven
During World War II the Allies' effort to persuade neutral countries to seize German assets deposited in their countries was code named Operation Safehaven. Safehaven documents in the National Archives are among those that have brought to light information about assets stolen from Holocaust victims. This page lists individuals, most of whom were Jewish, who tried to hide money from the Nazis by depositing it in Swiss bank accounts. These accounts were untouched between 1942 and 1945, and their owners probably perished in the Holocaust.

On Sunday, September 1, 2013, Secretary of State John Kerry appeared on ABC's This Week, CBS' Face the Nation, CNN's State of the Union, Fox's FOX News Sunday, and NBC's Meet the Press . In his interviews, Secretary Kerry discussed the President's decision on Syria.
In his interview with FOX News Sunday, Secretary Kerry said, "The rationale for the military response the President has requested is as powerful today and will be as powerful if not more powerful each day. The fact is that yesterday we have now learned that hair and blood samples that have come to us from east Damascus from individuals who were engaged as first responders in east Damascus, I can report to you today they have tested positive for signatures of sarin. So this case is going to build stronger and stronger, and the President believes that the United States of America, for a decision like this, is stronger when you have the time to be able to have the support of the United States Congress and obviously the support of the American people through them."
Read the full transcripts of the Secretary's interviews with: Chris Wallace of FOX News Sunday; David Gregory of NBC Meet the Press; George Stephanopoulos of ABC This Week; Gloria Borger of CNN State of the Union; and Major Garrett of CBS Face the Nation.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell how to install jquery datagrids in ror?

Hi there,
Can anyone tell how to install jquery datagrids in ror?
Thank You
Grab the javascript file and download it into public/javascripts
Include the javascript in whatever view needs it
<%= javascript_include_tag "jqGrid.js" %>
Then use the Grid is in your view, that will vary of course.
That said, jqGrid sort of goes around RoR Active Record, so there's alot more to installing jqGrid, there are some other plugins (that appear to overlap activerecord) required. I think this is more of a 'integrate and make co-exist' project than a simple 'install and use' project.

Mutual Funds Investing in Unloved Mortgage Bonds Are Soaring
The big winners include Angel Oak Multi-Strategy Income (ANGLX) , which has returned 20% this year and ranked as the top performing intermediate-term fund, according to Morningstar.
Mortgage specialist TCW Total Return Bond (TGLMX) returned 11.4%, compared to 4.0% for the Barclays Capital Aggregate benchmark.
These mutual funds have benefited from a broad rally that has lifted mortgages of all credit qualities. Investors have even embraced subprime mortgages, the toxic assets that helped trigger the financial crisis.
As foreclosure rates have fallen lately, prices of some subprime mortgages have climbed to 50 cents on the dollar, up from 40 cents a year ago. High-grade issues jumped recently after the Federal Reserve announced that it would buy $40 billion of mortgages a month as part of the QE3 policy.
Mortgage securities represent pools of loans. Investors in the securities collect the principal and interest that borrowers pay. Part of the appeal of mortgages is their relatively attractive yields.
At a time when 10-year Treasuries yield only 1.62%, mortgages backed by agencies such as Fannie Mae (FNMA) yield about 2.1%. Because of their government support, the agency mortgages come with no default risk.
To get fatter yields, investors can buy securities that are not backed by government agencies. High-quality nonagency mortgages, known as prime, yield about 4.5%. Risky subprime mortgages can yield 8.5%.
Nonagency mortgages were slammed during the financial crisis. With foreclosure rates spiking, some subprime mortgages traded for a few cents on the dollar. Many triple-A-rated securities were downgraded to junk.
After markets hit bottom in 2009, mortgages began recovering. Today investors remain wary, and many prime securities trade at 70 cents on the dollar.
The prices remain undervalued, argues Brad Friedlander, portfolio manager of Angel Oak Multi-Strategy. "This is one of the cheapest sectors of the fixed-income markets," he says.
While Angel Oak has the flexibility to buy many kinds of fixed-income securities, the fund currently has 78% of assets in nonagency mortgages.
Friedlander argues that the securities are priced as if the housing markets will remain deeply depressed. But the outlook has been improving as the inventory of foreclosed homes has shrunk. According to Standard & Poor's Case-Shiller index, home prices have increased for the last three months -- a big change from earlier in the year when prices were falling.
TCW Total Return has 34% of its assets in nonagency mortgages. Portfolio manager Bryan Whalen argues that the securities will continue performing well because supplies are declining at a time when demand is growing.
During the boom years of 2004 through 2007, investment banks issued $1 trillion in nonagency securities. Then the market froze as panicked investors refused to make any more commitments.

Healthy Living
Amy's loves Mushrooms and not just because they are tasty!
Mushrooms have a long history, but culinary and medicinally. There are over 14,000 mushrooms, only about 3,000 are edible, about 700 have known medicinal properties, and fewer than one percent are recognized as poisonous.
Mushrooms contain many micronutrients. In addition to being one of the only food sources of vitamin D, mushrooms are an excellent source of potassium (1 portabella mushroom contains the same potassium as a banana).
Mushrooms are seen as an anti-oxidant, a heart tonic and a cancer preventative. This is because they are rich in riboflavin, niacin, copper and selenium. Selenium keeps your thyroid happy, protects your muscles (especially the heart muscle) and when combined with vitamin E (found in many greens, almonds and seeds), it is a potent anti-oxidant.
Shiitake mushrooms have been used for centuries by the Chinese and Japanese to treat colds and flu. Lentinan, a beta-glucan found in shiitake mushrooms, appears to stimulate the immune system, help fight infection, and demonstrates anti-tumor activity.
You can enjoy mushrooms in many of Amy's meals:
Brown Rice & Vegetables Bowl
Teriyaki Bowl
Asian Noodle Stir Fry
Brown Rice, Black Eyed Peas & Veggies Bowl
Amy's Light & Lean Roasted Polenta gives you a great dose of the selenium, vitamin E combo!
And even on pizza!

About the Author: Catherine Stearns is a Public Affairs Advisor in the Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
People around the globe celebrated the tenth annual International Education Week (IEW), November 16-20. This joint initiative of the U.S. Department of State and the U.S. Department of Education underscores the benefits of international exchanges in fostering mutual understanding. The celebration will be highlighted in the coming weeks as participants log their activities and share their photos on the IEW website.
The U.S. State Department's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs (ECA) marked the week with numerous activities in Washington, D.C. and around the United States -- involving exchange participants and alumni, students, community groups, associations, universities, schools and the news media.
The State Department kicked off International Education Week at the National Press Club, with the release of Open Doors 2009, an annual survey of student mobility and international education trends published by the Institute of International Education (IIE) with support from ECA.
"We have been setting records for international educational exchanges," said Under Secretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs Judith A. McHale. "As the title of the report says, we have 'Open Doors' and we will be working to open them even wider," she added. Read her entire remarks here.
According to the report, a record number of U.S. students are studying abroad, up by 8.5% to 262,416 in the 2007-08 academic year. The report also indicates that an all-time high number of international students are at colleges and universities in the United States (up 8% to 671,616). Read more at http://opendoors.iienetwork.org.
In conjunction with the Open Doors 2009 report, ECA launched a newly redesigned EducationUSA website, www.educationusa.state.gov, where international students can learn about study opportunities in the United States, select appropriate institutions and navigate the admission process. Among other site features are a "one-stop shop" new media-based student page and a searchable database of EducationUSA advising centers around the world.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton launched ECA's second annual ExchangesConnect Video Contest, "Change Your Climate, Change Our World," on November 17, with a video message on ECA's social network. Running through January 12, 2010, the contest calls on global citizens to engage in cross-cultural community building for positive change. People all over the world, ages 14 and older, are invited to enter their 2-minute videos for a chance to win an all-expense-paid two-week international exchange program.
As a leader in reaching out to people with disabilities, ECA was also pleased to announce the annual A World Awaits You Journal, published by Mobility International USA's National Clearinghouse on Disability and Exchange (NCDE). This special issue features 21 stories about ECA exchange program alumni with disabilities who participated in a range of programs -- from youth exchanges, to Fulbright academic exchanges for college students and faculty, to the International Visitor Leadership Program, to citizen exchanges in sports, culture and the arts. Read the AWAY Journal at http://www.miusa.org/ncde.
In several U.S. cities, participants in ECA's International Visitor Leadership Program celebrated International Education Week. For example, four professionals from Western Hemisphere countries focused on public health. They visited East High School in Salt Lake City, Utah, to observe physical education classes and ways that U.S. schools encourage healthy lifestyles among teens. Those exchange visitors took that opportunity to make brief presentations to students and teachers about their own cultures and their impressions of the United States.
Across the United States, thousands of ECA-sponsored international high school students -- participating in the Youth Exchange and Study Program (YES) program, Future Leaders Exchange (FLEX), American Serbia and Montenegro Youth Leadership Exchange (A-SMYLE), and Congress – Bundestag Youth Exchange Program (CBYX) – delivered presentations to school and university classrooms, civic, professional and religious groups. In Anchorage, FLEX and YES program participants visited the University of Alaska to talk about their home countries to professors, staff and students. The exchange students also shared their experiences living with U.S. host families and attending high school in Anchorage.
International Education Week is the perfect moment to celebrate international exchange. Yet the effort to increase mutual understanding takes place every day of the year, across the United States and around the world, one participant at a time.
Morgan in Texas writes:
I think this is a great thing that we need to encourage. There are simply not enough Americans going overseas being the ambassadors for their country. Take a trip to south east asia and you will stumble across people from every nation except the United States. It is easy to see why world opinion is the way it is when we are not even there to change it.

GEPAC: Support to the Anti-corruption strategy of Georgia

Funded by a 700.000 € voluntary contribution of the Ministry for Development Co-operation of the Netherlands, GEPAC promoted technical co-operation among different law-enforcement
and prevention services.

Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (16 votes).
In short: Tough old race but I love it!In full: My favourite race of the year. Some pretty tough climbs and quick downhill sections. If you're not used to running hills then you'll ache the next day! An up and down route to begin with before you climb the beacon via the gold mine. Once at the top you've done the worst of it. There's just a little climb at the back of north hill. Then it's virtually all down from here. There's a reason this race has been around as long as it has.Date of review: February 9, 2015
In short: Weather made this tougher this year!In full: A good idea to do races like this for a change from flat road races. Very reasonable entry fee. Support was excellent considering the appaling weather (was good all day except when the race was on!), support also from walkers and local people on the hill much appreciated. Not one for PB's really (I was 3 mins slower than last year) but a good challenge and nice for anyone just to finish really.Date of review: October 15, 2012
In short: A fantastic start to the Autumn season races-very friendly marshals despite torrential rain !Date of review: October 13, 2012
In short: Gruelling at times, but the home-made cakes at the end made it all worth while.Date of review: October 14, 2005
In short: First time doing anything like this - exilirating, makes you dig very deep for reserves you never new you had!!! Great for a challenge!! Will be back next year.In full: Exiliarating but scary downhills - tough uphills. Incomparable to anything else. Will do it agian next year to try and beat time - can't compare PB to anything else. Contitions wet and muddy and slippery but all added to the challenge. It would have been good to have distance markers on the signs as then would know how much more to give - only critisism as the marshalls were great - the clapping and words of encouragment really helped me - thank you.Date of review: October 11, 2005
In short: A tough tough up-hill and scary downhill monster.In full: Could be great for those looking to improve their flat times. Certainly tested new muscles for me!Date of review: October 11, 2005
In short: enjoyed this race- forgot about the difference between nice flat road races and going up hillsDate of review: October 10, 2005
In short: Pain, rain and glory. A fantastic 700 yard straight-line sprint finish. (Trail shoes advisory in the wet!)Date of review: October 8, 2005
In short: Brilliant RaceIn full: If you neaver done this race before, be prepaired for the first 2 miles up hill (but remember when theres a up there has got to be a down ;).. If you finish the race and you a begginer this will definately be the race you remember.Date of review: May 8, 2005
In short: You know your doing something mad when Japanese tourists look on in amazement!Date of review: March 29, 2005

New version is up. How sad is it that we're the only commenters?

Very constructive; thanks!
- Max Payne 3's arcade modes detailed
I recently replayed both MP1&2 to get me ready for MP3, and while they're still a lot of fun they're definitely products of their time. What I played of MP3 at PAX East left me hopeful, as does the flood of positive reviews that came out for it today.
- The Best Thing About PS Vita? PSN Games, Of Course
Cool! Let me know what you think of them!
- PS Uni Underground Radio 011: Congressman Chewbecca
Yep, Mass Effect does indeed belong to EA.
That's not necessarily how a developer-publisher relationship works, though. Ideally, a publisher trusts a developer to make something that's both fun and creative, while also being profitable for them. I've never heard of a publisher intervening about a specific plot point or gameplay mechanic, threatening to pull the plug if it isn't changed. Usually when a game gets canned, it's because it simply isn't shaping up to be something worthwhile — remember NBA Elite?
- PS Uni Underground Radio 011: Congressman Chewbecca
I can't agree with your second point. Almost everything ever made is created with the hopes of generating profit.
Ultimately, my point is that, yeah, the ending to ME3 is a bit underwhelming in the scope of the entire series. Yet I still think that it's highly thought-provoking, for better or worse.
Frankly I'm just glad to see that a game's story can be taken seriously enough to generate this kind of debate, whether I agree with the displeasure of others or not.

March 30, 2009 WIC Update
SUBJECT 1: Pre-Print Clinics
SUBJECT 2: Revised Supply Request Form (WIC-8) and the Nutrition Resource Request Form (WIC-7)
SUBJECT 3: New and Discontinued Resource Items
SUBJECT 4: National Women's Health Week
- Pre-Print Clinics: Effective immediately, local agencies that have transitioned to MOWINS will not be allowed to pre-print checks at their main site and bring those checks to a satellite clinic to distribute to participants. Instead, agencies will use DSL (high-speed connection) if it is available and approved by the State WIC Office. Otherwise, these clinics will use the MOWINS off-line method or use paper forms of the WIC-1-M, WIC-2-M, WIC-10-M, etc. When staff return to the main site they will enter the information into MOWINS and then mail checks (refer to ER 3.05500) to the participants. The reason for this change is that we will soon transition to the new food packages, which require nutrition tailoring based on individual participant nutritional needs. Pre-printing checks will not allow the food packages to be tailored. Prior to rollout on MOWINS, State WIC office staff will contact local agencies to jointly determine the best method for satellite clinics.
If you have questions, please contact Mark Davis at firstname.lastname@example.com or 573-526-5323 or 800-392-8209.
- Revised Supply Request Form (WIC-8) and the Nutrition Resource Request Form (WIC-7): Both the WIC Supply Request Form (WIC-8) and WIC Nutrition Education Resource Request Form (WIC-7) were revised.

If anyone has any more insight or advice, please chime in.
No offense, but it's going to be extremely difficult for anyone to help you clone a pizza from an unknown, unnamed shop based solely on photos of cold congealed cheese and desdcriptions like "The crust is quite thin, slightly crackery in places but still floppy and not *overly* crispy. The sauce is fresh, light, and bright red. The cheese is opaque white, quite runny and stringy when hot, and has a marked glistening, oily sheen on it when its first brought out."

Damn John they all look amazing. I want to reach through my computer screen and grab one. Did he say what % the absorption rate was and the W rating?
Love the marinara!
A-MAZ-ING!! my goal to come anywhere close to those babies John! I would like to see a straight up CM flour %65-68% as I do not use a preferment. ThanksJohn
John,What cheese did you use on those pies?CL
Dela-Vee.Those are perfect.What really stands out about your pies, to me, is the impeccable sense of visual composition.Your pies look like they are absolutely delicious, but the form transcends that. They are imposssibly balanced with a true sense of spontaneity. the basil looks like fallen leaves in a forest, random and precise simultaniously. Truly the work of an artist. A feast for the eyes.BravoAZ
Just wanted to add,those new pies look superb.Even if you were not truly happy with the flour,your skills sure make up for any short comings.
These pies look awesome.. I just ordered a bag through a local wholesaler for $36!
john, beautiful pizzas!! i like your evaluation that it tastes like american flour. i have often thought that the caputo just has a different taste. i think i will stick to the bay state organic bread when i change up my crust. i think it is really close in its absorption to caputo. oh those were all cooked in your p70 yes!!! if so that is the little oven that could!

Featured Stroke Survivor Stories
Brianne Cassidy woke up to the sound of her golden retriever barking frantically and running around the room. When Brianne tried to get up to investigate, she realized she could barely move. She picked up her nearby cell phone and called her mom.
"I think something's wrong with me," she said. On the other end, her mom heard garbled words.
With a pit in her stomach, she assured Brianne she was rushing home and also called a neighbor to go check on her. The moment the neighbor opened the door, Brianne collapsed.
They would soon realize Brianne, a healthy 24-year-old, was having a major stroke.
A group of people came together at the right time, in the right place, with the right tools, to save Brianne's. Watch their story.
Brianne's Story
As a husband, father of two, business owner and surfer, life was good for Stefan.
Then he had a stroke.
Stefan suffered a stroke while driving to work.He lost vision in his left eye, then became paralyzed on the left side of his body.
Thanks to a fast-responding emergency team and a skilled physician armed with a ground breaking treatment, he made a complete recovery. Today, Stefan's life is more than good—it's inspiring. Watch his story.
Stefan's Story
About the Initiative
The American Heart Association/American Stroke Association's Together to End Stroke™ initiative, nationally sponsored by Medtronic, aims to educate all Americans that stroke is largely preventable, treatable and beatable. Through Together to End Stroke, efforts are focused on increasing awareness and driving action among Americans across the entire stroke continuum of care; prevention, acute treatment, and post-stroke rehabilitation.
From families to healthcare professionals, and corporations to communities, everyone has a critical role to play in creating stroke-aware communities. While stroke is the No. 5 cause of death and a leading cause of long-term disability among adults in the U.S., many Americans do not think of stroke as a major health concern.
We have made a lot of progress, but we still have a ways to go to end stroke and we need your help!
Together to End Stroke Goals
- Increase Americans' knowledge of the major stroke risk factors and motivate them to take steps to reduce their risk.
- Increase Americans' knowledge of the F.A.S.T. stroke warning signs and the importance of calling 911 at the first sign of a stroke to minimize the long-term of effects of a stroke and even prevent death.
- Increase Americans' knowledge of and engagement in the American Stroke Association's post-stroke resources and services.
Why We Need Your Support
In the U.S., 800,000 people have a stroke each year, one every 40 seconds. Yet, 80% of strokes are preventable, many Americans cannot identify the stroke warning signs, and most stroke survivors and family caregivers do not know where to go for stroke recovery information. This presents a great opportunity to work together to teach Americans how to prevent a stroke, as well as how to recognize, respond to, and recover from a stroke. With your help, we can close the gap in stroke awareness and help save lives.

Topic: Find Or Create By (attribute) how can i tell if its a new record?
Im using find or create by to create some events in a table.
code :
event = user.events.find_or_create_by_x
(x being the attribute)
Is there a way i can find out if this find or create action returns an existing record or creates a new record?
I was thinking of doing something with the event.id and tracking that but was wondering if there is something built into Rails that will tell me if its a new record or not.
