Here's how RW members rated this race in the past (105 votes).
In short: Tough! not for the Wimps out thereIn full: This was my seventh race of the year, by far the toughest and most challenging and very rewarding! I look forward to it next year!Date of review: December 5, 2005
In short: great, tough raceIn full: My first ever race and what a tough choice it was. That hill really knocked the stuffing out of me (twice!) -but I'll be back. Never having done a race before I have nothing to compare it with but I must say the marshalling seemed suberb -Well done Crowborough Runners. Date of review: December 5, 2005
In short: What goes down comes back up (twice)In full: This was supposed to be my home town race, but that anther story! Even though I know the local area, I still got caught out by the steepness of the hill up Palesgate. To do it twice was a really killer. Despite the hills and the fact that I arrived late & didn't have time for a warm up, I was still quite pleased was my finishing time.A special mention for the organisation of the race, which was very well marshalled. I don't think I've ever seen as many marshals before on a half marathon course before let alone a 10K. Date of review: December 5, 2005
In short: One Big HillIn full: I never want to see a hill like that again.Once is enough but to have to go up it twice.Lovely run though and well organisedDate of review: December 5, 2005
In short: Despite the long downhill sections the big hill killed any chance of a PBIn full: Enjoyable race, especially once its over. had read about the hill but was still hoping for a good time. Downhill sections are pretty good and long but that hill still messed up my time. Well organised by marshalls who have their work cut out with some of the car drivers. Strange layout with toilets and registration a 10 minute walk away from car park and start. Still a good enjoyable race and will be back to try and get up that hill abit faster. Date of review: December 5, 2005
In short: Excellent fun. Very challenging hill, but very enjoyable.Date of review: December 4, 2005
In short: That bloody hill gets longer every year!! Still nearly 5 minutes up on 2003 time - so can,t moan to much.Date of review: December 4, 2005
In short: toughest race so far for me. first time i have ever stopped running in any race - in order to get up that hill and still get a good time. enjoyed it big time though!Date of review: December 4, 2005
In short: I have never run up a hill like that!In full: I am well aware that you can't have a race in Crowborough without some ups and downs but that HILL is exceptional. I am sure it is near vertical at one point! I have run many races, from 10M to marathon, but never seen a hill like that. As this was my first 10K, I got a PB but I am confident I can beat it on any other course! Very well organised , thanks!Date of review: December 4, 2005
In short: That is one serious hill!In full: Despite it being cold and damp (what would one expect in December, anyway!) this was a seriously challenging race for a newcomer to 10K like me. The course has the right blend of challenging hills and downhills to help a little recovery for the second lap. Chose to avoid the ford (did'nt want to get wet feet - wimp!)The defining characteristic of the course is the hill and that is enough to make me return next year in an effort to improve my time. Well worth the trip from sunny Essex.Date of review: December 4, 2005

Shield Bill won't shield administration
A politician can pull off only so many well-timed maneuvers before even his staunchest supporters must admit the efforts do not pass the smell test.
Last week, President Barack Obama hastily asked Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y., to reintroduce an old media shield bill. The Free Flow of Information Act would, in theory, protect reporters who seek to maintain the anonymity of confidential sources. It would protect them from the likes of, well, the Obama administration.
Despite efforts to cover their tracks – Attorney General Eric Holder claims he recused himself last year, and that responsibility rests with his deputy – Obama's Justice Department is responsible for seizing a massive amount of phone records from Associated Press reporters and editors. "I'm simply not a part of the case," Holder told the House Oversight Committee.
If he was aware enough of the investigation to feel the need to distance himself, he – and his boss – should have stopped it.
It has been a bad few weeks for Obama and company, though. The assault on the Associated Press was revealed as the administration was doing damage control on its Internal Revenue Service's targeting of conservative groups. And, of course, there is the little matter of making sure the "talking points" on last year's Benghazi attacks were delivered in a manner that provided the most political cover.
No, even a perfectly timed distraction bill should not be enough this time. The IRS, Benghazi and AP situations are merely the most recent in a host of reasons Obama's political legacy will be that of as dirty a Washington insider as any who came before him.

May we resolve our differences with love. My neighbors to the south & west who are acquaintances but not friends are now surrounded by loving energy and my smile holds thoughts of the potential for more connection. For those closest to my heart, my spirit touches yours with love. Thank you.

I valued the opportunity to pause this morning to reflect on love and kindness. I also listened to the entire show with Sylvia Boorstein. She has always been one of my favorite teachers.
I was struck by her comment in the program, "Spirituality looks like folding towels in a sweet way." It reminds me of a line from a song by Carrie Newcomer (Holy As the Day Is Spent):
"Holy is a familiar room and the quiet moments in the afternoonAnd folding sheets like folding handsTo pray as only laundry can."
Thank you....

How would your guest hope to approach the Nazi build-up if she were to have lived through it? We obviously waste energy when we persist in attaching personal energy to life's struggles. I thought the struggles were rather small. How does the practice of meditation help us address systemic atrocities? Thanks.

I noticed as I was blessing the people around me, from work, to the drivers I see passing by on commute, to my neighbors that I never talk to, that along the way I felt subtle resistance. It made me feel as though I do put some walls up between me and the outside world. I wonder how this regular process might transform me and how I treat those around me.

Dear Baroddy
I don't think there is a simple answer to a complex question. Listen to the entire unedited version; it's really beautiful. A Pablo Neruda poem, "Keeping Quiet" is read at the end. I believe if we all practiced the stillness Sylvia talks about the capacity for human atrocities can be ended. People have the power. One of my favorite stories is of a KKK rally that (I believe) took place in California several years ago. Anti-KKK protesters showed up and at some point a KKK member was knocked down and attacked by the anti-KKK protesters. A black woman there threw herself over the KKK member to protect him from the crowd.
When we arrive at that place and are ready to protect even our enemies, our world will change.

I too could not get it to play smoothly-- it stopped more than it played.
What I did hear, though, did not seem too relevant for pre-schoolers. After listening to the story, I was hoping to hear a meditation I could use for children.

Many years ago, as a university student studying child
Many years ago, as a university student studying child development, I was working with a class of preschoolers who were clumped because they tended to be disruptive, particularly at quiet times (such as nap-time after lunch). I found that many of them did not have a sense of their own bodies. I used nap-time to talk them through focusing on each part of their bodies a part at a time, teaching them to tense the muscles and let them go, paying attention to what happened when they did. Gradually we extended the awareness to the needs of others. The kids loved it, even the most disruptive-- some of whom turned into nappers. Those who did not need to nap were then allowed to quietly "read" or to play with a quiet toy. This form of simple physical relaxation training shading into mindfulness meditation transformed the group dynamics throughout the day. This was in a university child development center, and my approach in working with the children also became part of the training for staff. Many years later, children in my class often recognized me on the street and gave me joyful hugs and big grins. Blessings coming round.

Worked for me. I'm frequently on the lookout for ways to introduce meditation practices to students and patients in a secular fashion. This fits the bill. Folks who take things very literally may have some difficulty in their room alone when Ms. Boorstein refers to others present. Other than that I found it a good introduction to metta or loving-kindness meditation.

While this is so sweet, I know in my heart that "feeling strong/safe/at peace" is as fleeting as the opposite feelings. To deny reality while staring it in the face is asking to suffer. Being human means accepting all feelings.

I am home tonight, having worked too hard all day again, feeling again that I haven't yet done enough. My husband and daughter are downstairs relaxing in front of the T.V. together but I am still working, at my computer. I stumbled across this meditation and decided to stop and participate. Now I feel balanced. I blessed my neighbors, in their houses in the dark, I blessed the cicadas singing outside, I blessed my dog, stretched out beside me. Life is good. I think I'll stop working for today.

Thank you for this
Thank you for this "experiment." I've had the good fortune to sit in a retreat and hear Ms. Boorstein's dharma talks. In fact, I'm going back to Spirit Rock for the annual Metta retreat. Some members of my family are worried about why I would want to sit in silence for 10 days. I'm going to send them this little video as a "taste" of what I'm doing there. May they benefit from watching it.
Unfortunately, many of those
Unfortunately, many of those unfamiliar beings, near and far, are violent and murderous, wishing the rest of us nothing but harm and death. Although they are included in the Buddhist category of "all beings", the ISIS/ISIL terrorists and other violent extremists should not be strengthened with our good intentions.
It's not a good idea to intend them to have safety, contentness, strength, and to live with ease. I do not wish them well. Quite the contrary.
That last step of Dr. Boorstein's Metta meditation is particularly problematic for non-Buddhists.
Many years ago--in the 90's-
Many years ago--in the 90's--I sat w/ Sylvia, at Spirit Rock. I was there several days, for an interview (which, sadly, did not pan out). But the few days I was on-site, meeting with others, especially Sylvia, and at a meditation led by Jack Kornfeld, were much-needed,& deeply restorative. My host & her house in Woodacre were warm & uplifting. Images & effects of my time there have never left me. Every week, I tune in/read On Being ("Speaking of Faith" when I began in the 80s).

Caney Fork Redneck
I fished Caney Fork yesterday and had the worst run in with what I consider a redneck I have every had. I hit the river at around 8:30am, there was a small hatch on. (sulfurs? still trying to learn to identify hatches) Hooked up on on nice rainbow and 7 or 8 small stockers. About 9:45 a couple came down the bank, didn't bother me on the caney you learn to deal with corn and one once sinkers being lobbed around you, But, these two were way beyond normal. First off they set thier cooler and tackle boxes on the bank right in front of me. Then the man in a loud voice exclaimed " look that dumb _ of _ is standing in our honey whole." the lady replied with a loud belch. I just changed to a wolly bugger and continued fishing. They wadded up stream a little ways and started lodding the one ounce sinkers across the stream. I caught a couple more stockers, when I heard the lady exclaim that she had one. it was a small stocker that I was glad to see her return to the water. The flelow told her that it was bad luck to let a small one go! and should have kept it. Well I continued to fish when I heard the sound of water being pourd into the river. When I turned around the man had heeded to the call of nature and was using the river. That was enought for me < I debated about saying something, but just decided to move on and fish someplace else.
It takes all kinds to make the world, but some I don't need to be around.
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
I have run into people like this in Arkansas. Standing in the area of a deep hole I had women casting large lead sinkers at me and then laughing about it. It's best not to say anything to people like that, their mentality is just above pond scum anyway. Only good thing is this time of the year that area is C&R only, so those types don't fish there. Now I am wondering are there C&R areas in the Park or other areas that I might go in June? Thanks
I tie flies to give fish something to laugh at.
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
The only C&R in the Park that I know of is brookies. But, you should be able to find plenty of water to fish unmolested. When are you going to be there exactly?
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
We will be in Lenoir City on the 3rd and in Townsend area on the 6th. I still have to locate a place to stay. I am going to be stupid and not make reservations untill I get there. We are staying with my son, so I am not really sure when we are leaving his place. Hmmm we might be sleeping in my truck.
I tie flies to give fish something to laugh at.
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
Was that you Vern, the wife thought you was cute & wanted to fish by you , i don't give up water that easily, my casting froth's up the water behind & front of me, yep i still have some redneck in me & i'm pretty vocal to the ones that don't know much about ettiquite 8-)
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
Hey Grumpy, she didn't look bad in her pedator camo, that matched the river using man's. From your posts I Never would picture you as a little rat that I met on the river that day. I have learned to just move on instead of getting confrontational plus I was not real crazy about standing in the mans waste since I was down stream.. But when I do see people abusing the fish or breaking the law I will say something.
*I did get into a confrontation at the sme spot a couple years ago. My son and i were fishing the same strech of river, He was 10yr old at the time and was just getting use to wadding. I moved to a spot aliitle down stream and got into the stockers real good. I told my son to move down, whch took him a little time to work his way down. about the same time a man came off the bank and wadded up to with in 15 feet of me right were I wanted my son to stand. I politly asked the man to move down stream because I wanted my son beside me, he had heard me tell my son to move down. He informed the this was a public river and he could fish where he wanted. About that time I was no longer polite and after a few words he moved just far enough that my son could squeese in. I traded places with my son which put me where my back cast was flying over the mans head. He got tired of that and moved on.
* * *At the same spot I met a man fly fishing and he asked if it was OK for him to take my my son and work wiht him on some fishing skills. He said that he was thinking about becoming a guide and enjoyed working with kids. They stayed with in 20 yards of me so I said OK. My son had a great time and learned alot, sometimes coming from someone other than a dad they seem to listen better. Just goes to show that you met all kinds on the river!!! *
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
There are some mighty fine folks on the river, there's the occaisonal few that you ran into the other day that i can do without.
The bad thing is, we can remember those memories a little clearer than the best ones sometimes :-/
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
I have fished the caney for probably 10-11 years now and seen plenty of the idiots you described. I had one strip down to his skivvies and jump for a nice splash and swim about 15 yards from me upstream. Then there are the kids that come out and dont want to fish anymore so they just throw rocks. I have learned to find the remote places. I now walk a couple of miles through the woods in Lancaster to a "special place". Sometimes it is very good thing to just disappear.
Sorry about my fellow rednecks. I am one, But fortunately i was not dropped too many times in my earlier years.
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
Posted on our BB over the weekend, 2 guys came down the river in a boat upon a guy FF'n, words were started, one guy get's out of the boat & advances on FF'r, he takes off vest & lays rod down, redneck chickens out, get's back in boat & they leave.
This was reported by an observer ready to take up the slack if the other guy had decided to join in.
I know it's getting warm & all, i go to the river to get away from everyday stress/life to enjoy myself. The last thing i want to do is get into a fight, the last thing i would do is back down from some yokel as well.
L ike the rest of ya, i try to get away from the crowds, a few fish & hours of enjoyment shouldn't be ruined by someone "dropped" as talkingpaul mentioned.
Let's hope the crowds will start to thin out as the temps& holidays get fewer in between.
Re: Caney Fork Redneck
i have not fished the caney for a few years but did see more "unhappy interactions" as fishing pressure increased.
sadly, flyfisherman can be just as responsible as "rednecks" for altercations...many flyfisherman act like they own the river and are dispariging towards any other form of fishing. i have a friend who owns a chunk of river frontage on another river...it is humorous to hear about people yelling at him for ruining "their fishing spot" when he literally owns the river and bar they are fishing from. he has no problems with people fishing...but will not tolerate people who abuse his family if they want to enjoy their property.
fighting over fishing is silly...and has the potential for something really bad...like guns getting pulled

City Police Searching For Man
Two city men are in custody and another is wanted in connection with a drug bust that took place at 181 Barrows St. on Friday.
An investigation into the illegal manufacturing and sales of methamphetamine led investigators from the Jamestown Police Department, NYSP CNET and the Department of Homeland Security to execute a search warrant at the residence at about 5 p.m. on Friday.
Entry was gained into the residence with the use of the NYSP Special Operations Response Team, as information was obtained that the location was being used to manufacture and sell the methamphetamine. Once inside the Contaminated Crime Scene Emergency Response Team confirmed there was a quantity of items used in the process to manufacture methamphetamine.
Subjects Joseph A. Snyder, 28, and Dustin R. Verrett, 23, both of 181 Barrows St., were taken into custody and are being charged with third-degree unlawful manufacturing of methamphetamine, a class D felony, and second-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance. Both subjects were transported to the city jail where they are waiting arraignment.
Donald W. Dean, 38, of Jamestown is wanted in connection with the investigation. Police are asking for the public's assistance in locating Dean, who currently has several outstanding warrants. Charges for his involvement in the manufacturing and sales of methamphetamine are pending. Anyone who may know the whereabouts of Dean is asked to call 483-7537.
The investigation is continuing and additional charges are expected. Anyone who may have information on the illegal sales of narcotics is asked to contact the JPD anonymous tip line at 483-8477.

Rouge-Orleans - Page 3
Mardi Gras is Louisiana's oldest celebrated holiday. It is a whole season, known as Carnival, that begins on January 6 and lasts until Fat Tuesday (February 21). During the last two weeks, around 60 parades sweep through New Orleans.
"Mardi Gras is the love of life," writes New Orleans author Chris Rose. "It is the harmonic convergence of our food, our music, our creativity, our eccentricity, our neighborhoods and our joy of living."
Trailhead: Baton Rouge, Louisiana area
If you can still run, much less walk, after the race, Beck suggests these other Louisiana trails:
- Comite and Hooper Road Park trails. A popular destination for local mountain bikers, both trails are located in North Baton Rouge and offer around 20 miles combined. www.bramba.org/trails.php
- Spillway Trails: A mostly flat 5.5-mile singletrack loop in Norco, Louisiana, with various bridge crossings. The trail consists of clay, hard-packed dirt and sand, and runs parallel to the Bonnet Carre Spillway. www.nomambo.net/trail-info
- The Beast Trail. Around eight miles of trail within the West Feliciana Sports Park of St. Francisville, Louisiana. The route includes rugged hills and climbs and meanders in and out of the woods surrounding the park. www.tunicatrails.org/?q=node/21
- Clear Springs Trail. Twelve-mile loop in the Clear Springs Recreation Area, located about two hours from Baton Rouge, includes stream crossings, and is shaded by large pine, oak, magnolia and beech trees. www.hikelouisiana.org/detailsclearspring.html
- Kincaid Lake Trail. Nine miles meander around the shoreline of Kincaid Lake in Alexandria, Louisiana, in the Kisatchie National Forest. Other shorter trails are also available nearby. www.trails.mtbr.com/cat/united-states-trails/trails-louisiana/trail/kincaid-lake-trail/prd_168139_4551crx.aspx
- Lincoln Parish Park. Twisting and winding up and down steep inclines, the 10-mile route lies inside a 260-acre forested park in Ruston, Louisiana.www. www.park.lincolnparish.org

Buehrle said he feels fine thanks to an arm-strengthening program that has enabled him to throw between his starts all but once during the first half.
"The older you get, the more you have to be conscious of what you're doing in the off-season," Buehrle said. "But I think [throwing limits have more] to do more with my arm than [not working out enough].
"That's why I got on Coop [for criticizing my conditioning] because he made it sound as if I was a fat [guy] coming into spring training. It was really just my arm."

The demolition of the dams is an evolving experiment that entails the restoration of an entire watershed.which remains pristine, shaded by the gargantuan old-growth firs and cedars and primeval ferns for which the Olympic Mountains are famous.
Already, visible changes along the Elwha are 'jaw dropping,' says one scientist.two decades alone, more than 500 dams in the U.S. — most of them small — have been demolished.
Before the dams were built, the Elwha was home to all five species of Pacific salmon.That's essential to spawning salmon who need cold water flowing through their redds, the hollows where they lay their eggs, moderating temperatures and providing oxygen.
The Elwha will be 'the gold standard against which any other salmon restoration will be measured,' says one expert.mouth, while the tribe agreed to a five-year moratorium on Elwha fishing.

Academic Integrity
Honor Code: Cedar Crest College students should uphold community standards for academic and social behavior in order to preserve a learning environment dedicated to personal and academic excellence. Upholding community standards is a matter of personal integrity and honor.
Individuals who accept the honor of membership in the Cedar Crest College community pledge to accept responsibility for their actions in all academic and social situations and the effect their actions may have on other members of the College community.
Academic Standards of Integrity: Incumbent from the Honor Code, academic integrity and ethical behavior provide the foundations of the Cedar Crest scholarly community and the basis for our learning environment. Cedar Crest College expects students to set a high standard for themselves to be personally and intellectually honest and to ensure that other students do the same. This standard applies to all academic work (oral, written, or visual) completed as part of a Cedar Crest education.
Academic Misconduct: Cedar Crest College considers the following acts, but not only the following acts, to be breaches of its Academic Standard of Integrity. Cedar Crest College reserves the right to alter the definitions of academic misconduct herein.
- Cheating. During the completion of an academic assignment (e.g. quizzes, tests, examinations, artistic works, presentations, or papers), it is dishonest to use, have access to, or attempt to gain access to any and all sources or assistance not authorized by the instructor.
- Plagiarism. Plagiarism is the act, intentional or not, of misrepresenting the work, research, language, or ideas of another person (published or unpublished) as one's own. An assignment or part of an assignment that fails to acknowledge source material through an appropriate academic discipline's citation conventions for quotation, paraphrase, and summary also constitutes plagiarism.
- Collusion. Collusion is the collaboration of two or more individuals in either giving or receiving assistance not authorized by the instructor for the completion of an academic assignment.
- Falsification. Falsification is the misrepresentation of academic work or records. Falsification includes, but is not limited to: the fabrication of research, scientific data, or an experiment's results; providing false information regarding an academic assignment, including reasons for absence, deadline extension, or tardiness; the tampering with grade or attendance records; the forging or misuse of college documents or records; or the forging of faculty or administrator signatures. An assignment or part of an assignment, submitted for academic credit in one course and resubmitted by the student for academic credit in another course without both instructors' permission also constitutes falsification.
- Sabotage. Sabotage is the act of hindering another student's (or students') ability to complete an academic assignment. Destruction of college property (e.g. library holdings, laboratory materials, or computer hardware or software) may constitute sabotage.
- Other Forms of Academic Misconduct. The forms of academic misconduct defined above are not exhaustive, and other acts in violation of the Cedar Crest Honor Code or Academic Standard of Integrity may be deemed academic misconduct by an instructor or by the college.
Response to Academic Misconduct: Students who breach the Academic Standard are subject to sanctions imposed by an instructor, a department chair, the Provost, or the Board of Trustees. Such sanctions can range from, but are not limited to, the expectation to redo an assignment, the reduction in grade for an assignment or course, or the failure of an assignment or course. Extreme cases of academic misconduct, as determined by the provost or the Board of Trustees, may result in suspension or expulsion from the college, or the withholding, denial, or rescinding of academic degrees.
The initial response to academic misconduct rests with the individual instructor, who is entitled to take into account the student's degree of academic experience and any prior instances of academic misconduct in the student's time at the College, when determining the penalty for the offense. If a student withdraws from a course and the instructor discovers academic misconduct either before or after the withdrawal, an instructor's grade of "F" for the course supersedes the "W."
All instructors who determine that a student has breached the Academic Standard of Integrity must report the incident to the Provost's Office using the "Report of Academic Misconduct" and attach relevant evidentiary documentation as appropriate. Instructors encountering a case of academic misconduct may consult with the Provost's Office to determine if the student has committed acts of academic misconduct on other occasions.
All instructors are required to include the College's Academic Standard of Integrity on their course syllabi, as well as information about the response to evidence of academic misconduct and potential sanctions incurred.
Upon receiving a "Report of Academic Misconduct," the Provost's Office will notify the student of the misconduct charge and of her rights and the procedure to appeal the charge and its sanctions. Appeals to charges of academic misconduct or their sanctions follow the process for appealing academic decisions outlined below in this section.
All reported incidents or academic misconduct will be held on record by the Provost's Office. The Provost's Office is to make an annual report to the faculty and to the Honor and Judicial Board, on the number and nature of academic misconduct cases that occurred during the year.
Intellectual Property Rights
It is the policy of Cedar Crest College to create an environment that encourages the generation of new knowledge by faculty, staff, and students, and facilitates the transfer of useful inventions and writings to society. To motivate the development and dissemination of intellectual property, the College seeks to ensure that the creators receive proper credit and financial rewards for their work.
For purposes of this policy, the term intellectual property includes any patentable invention, any copyrightable subject matter, or valuable technology. It also includes works of art, inventions or creations that might normally be developed on a propriety basis because copyright or patent protection is not available. This policy applies to any full-time or part-time student, regardless of whether the student receives financial aid from the College or from outside sources.
A student retains all rights to intellectual property created solely by herself. This includes rights to articles, and other writings of which the intended purpose is to disseminate the results of student research or scholarly work. A student also retains all rights to popular nonfiction, novels, poems, musical works, dramatic works including any accompanying music, pantomimes and choreographic works, pictorial, graphic and sculptural works, motion pictures and other similar audio-visual works, and sound recordings. The use of College owned computers and other facilities in the preparation of such works does not alter this provision, though other College policies may limit such use or require reimbursement to the College.
In cases where the College provides funding or facilities for a particular student research project that are in excess of those normally available to students working in that area, the College may choose to act as a sponsor for that research and therefore own the rights of such property. Where student research is subject to an agreement between an external sponsor and the College that restricts the disposition of rights to intellectual property, the rights will be handled in accordance with that agreement. If a student is employed by the College specifically for the purpose of working as a research assistant, the College retains the rights of such property.
Issues not covered by any of the above provisions are subject to the policies which apply to the intellectual property rights of faculty and staff at the College.

Secrets and Flies
this wiki
|Secrets and Flies
|Josh Berman
|Terrence O'Hara
|Original Airdate
|November 3, 2005
Secrets and Flies is the sixth episode of season six of CSI: Crime Scene Investigation.
While the rest of the CSI team investigate the murder of a single mother unsuccessfully staged as a suicide, Grissom works hard to disprove a deceptive entomologist who has falsified scientific facts to exonorate a murder suspect in court.
Plot SummaryEdit
The episode opens with a woman, Christina Adalian, being found dead in her house with her baby son, Joey, in the room. Because Christina was shot in the head and a suicide note is found at the scene, Catherine and Sara figure she committed suicide. However, when Catherine looks closer at her hand, she notices that there are no blood stains on it even though there is dried blood on the revolver used to kill her - Christina was murdered and her death was made to look like a suicide. When Brass talks to Christina's sister, he learns that, though Christina was a single mother, she used to be in a relationship with a man named Evan. At the scene, Warrick finds evidence that someone broke into the house through the back door. When Doc Robbins does an autopsy, he discovers that Christina, even though she had given birth, died a virgin. Joey was delivered through a C-section. Robbins figures that she probably got pregnant through dry humping, which is commonly incorrectly believed to protect from pregnancies.
Bobby Dawson confirms that the bullet found in Christina's head came from the gun found at the scene. Its last known owner was a lawyer in Henderson named Duane McWane. When some particles Catherine found in front of Christina's broken-up door are revealed to be diorite granite, which is often used in high-end bathroom vanities. Catherine and Warrick go to the only slab yard in the area that uses diorite granite and find Christina's ex-boyfriend, Evan Peters. He claims not to have seen her in months, but when he is confronted with the evidence, he admits that she called him a few days earlier when she locked herself out with Joey in the house and he helped her get back inside. When he asked her about her child, she claimed that "God got her pregnant". When Greg questions Duane McWane, he explains that he gave away the gun to one of his paralegals, Rita Day. Greg questions her as well and finds out that she lost it in a poker game years earlier to a man the others called "Cy" as in "cyclops", a reference to a huge mole he had in the forehead. When the lab's new DNA tech, Wendy, finds that Joey's DNA proves that he's not Christina's biological son, Catherine figures that Christina was a surrogate mother.
Sara finds documents connecting Christina to an organization called Project Sunflower, a pro-life organization which finds available surrogate mothers for abandoned fertilized eggs and embryos. Catherine and Sara visit the organization's local office, the manager of which is uncooperative and won't give up the records of who Joey's biological parents are without a warrant. Professor Ramdan confirms that the suicide note was written by Christina under duress. He also says he can match the flow of the pen's ink to the pen that was used. Sara learns from Joey Adalian's birth records that his birth parents are Kenli and Dan Johnson. Dan died in a car accident a year earlier after they had tried several times to conceive a child. Figuring they weren't meant to become parents, they gave up their embryos. After Joey's birth, they visited him once a month. When a piece of clothing from her laundry tests positive for gunshot residue, Kenli is questioned at the station and denies ever even touching a gun. She claims to have been at home at the time of the murder, which her mother confirms that she was - even though Kenlie says she was out at the time. When Sara finds blood spatter on a piece of clothing too big to be Kenli's, Catherine brings in her mother for questioning. Inside her purse, Catherine finds a red Coda pen that was probably the one used to write the suicide note and can be matched to the note by Professor Rambar. Catherine also sees a photo of her husband, who fits the description of "Cy". Since Kenli will get custody of Joey as per Christina's will, her mother confesses to the murder, saying that makes it all worth it.
In a separate storyline, Grissom is asked for a personal favor by McKeen and Ecklie. A man named Preston Breckman is on trial for the murder of one Joanna Whitman, McKeen's goddaughter. Though the prosecution has an abundance of evidence against him, including hairs, fibers, DNA and even a witness who saw him stab Whitman, the defense has brought in a forensic entomologist, Mark Thayer, whom Grissom describes as a "gun-for-hire" and who claims that the insect activity on the body gives Breckman an alibi. Grissom agrees to take a look at his findings to see if he tampered with the evidence. When Thayer takes the stand during the trial, he asserts that the fact that there were puparia on the body but no adult flies at the time of the discovery shows that she had been dead for exactly 15 days, placing her time of death on November 1. Breckman was in Mexico until November 3 and is believed to have committed the murder on November 4. To prove his findings, Thayer claims to have videotaped the development of black blowflies on a pig carcass in preparation for the trial. When the tape is about to be shown to the jury, the prosecutor objects since they haven't been allowed to examine it beforehand. Because they sub poenad all related evidence and documentation but the defense withheld the video recording, the judge agrees to let the prosecution examine it.
Grissom examines Thayer's video recording, which confirms the timeline he proposed, even though all the scientific literature states that it would only take 11 days for the black blowfly to develop that far. Unfortunately, the jury will probably be more influenced by video documentation than books, which means Breckman will go free. Also, the only way Grissom can disprove Thayer's claims is to replicate the experiment himself, which will take too long for the judge to allow it. Archie examines the tape as well to see if the tape has been altered, but finds nothing incriminating. When Grissom looks at screenshots from the tape, he notices dead blowflies on the pig and sends the larvae from the experiment to Henry. On the stand, Grissom reveals that Henry's testing of the larvae show that they had digested malathion, which delayed the flies' puparia development by four days and had been sprayed onto the pig by Thayer before the experiment began to extend the flies' development cycle and give the defendant an alibi. When court is adjourned, Thayer is arrested for perjury and obstruction of justice. When McKeen offers to repay Grissom somehow, he only asks him for some extra time to finish some personel evaluations he has been putting off.

- Catherine (to Grissom): Oh, hey. Ecklie said that you wanted to see me.

Topic: Apache and FastCGI problems
Hi, it will be my first post and first big trouble with RoR.
I am using Rails 1.2.0 (as I remember) or 1.2.2 on Windows machine. I got hosting which supports Rails 1.2. I just generating RoR application to test hosting. Hosting is running on Linux. I am going to write steps I used to upload my testing application and later note the problem.
1. I am uploading application folder to server. So it would be easy to access it domain.com/application/public (Later I would make vhost).
2. In there files: dispatch.fcgi, dispatch.rb I changed ruby path (#!/usr/local/bin/ruby)
3. I went to /public/ directory and found ".htaccess" and changed it to use FastCGI (dispatch.fcgi)
4. chmoded:
dispatch.fcgi - 755
dispatch.rb - 755
/public/ - 755
5. Now I went to /config/ directory and found environment.rb uncommented this line: ENV['RAILS_ENV'] ||= 'production'
Trying to test RoR application, URL: http://www.davidlt.profusehost.net/portal/public/

Most people would consider "over my dead body," a threat, but for Dr. Sharon Martin '72 and Dr. Bobby Graham, it's the opening line of a love story.
Happily married for 28 years, Dr. Martin and Dr. Graham met when they shared the same cadaver in an anatomy class at the University of Mississippi School of Medicine.
"Sharon had already worked on a doctorate in anatomy and she knew a lot, so everyone in the class wanted to work on her cadaver," Dr. Graham says. "I thought she was cute, smart, and competitive. I just wanted to work with her."
The two spent months as study partners before romance bloomed and they decided to marry. Bobby Graham went on to specialize in oncology. After serving as a clinic doctor with the Mississippi Department of Health, Sharon Graham returned to school to become a psychiatrist. While they work in very different fields, Dr. Martin and Dr. Graham both consider compassion for their patients a critical part of their medical protocols.

Amadeus, the 1981 Tony Award-winning play by Peter Shaffer, is the perfect cure for a Halloween hangover. The word 'death' slips from lips constantly, murderous thoughts plague the antagonist and petty jealousies lead to untimely downfalls. In the hands of the Maltz Jupiter Theater, between the macabre set and dark performances, Amadeus takes on a spirit all its own.
Inspired by the life of famed 18th century composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Amadeus presents a fictionalized account of the heated relationship between Mozart and his composing contemporary, Antonio Salieri. Salieri, who is only six years Mozart's senior, is infuriated by the praise placed upon the prodigy. Though successful in his own right, Salieri cannot come to terms with what he sees as God's favoritism to Mozart. His beef boils down to this: Why do I have to work so hard, when beautiful compositions simply pop into Mozart's head? Salieri decides to use his standing as court composer to bring about Mozart's early demise.
The play opens in 1823, thirty years after Mozart's death. Salieri laments over his own imminent demise as well as his role in Mozart's career trajectory. The set, designed by Philip Whitcomb, reflects Salieri's dilapidated psyche. A once grand opera house sits in shambles, a mess of grayness and crumbling architecture. A rising chandelier (reminiscent of the grand one in The Phantom of the Opera) signifies shifts in time. Never changing, the set is an ever-constant reminder of the sorrow that awaits both composers.
In stark contrast, Fabio Toblini's costume design is bright and cheery. In step with 18th century sartorial trends, the men wear jackets, shortcut trousers and stockings, while the woman don hooped petticoats and gowns. Everyone wears white powder wigs, a la George Washington. The colors are striking; vibrant blues, purples and pinks pop against the muted set. Expensive-looking embroidery sparkles in the stage lights, reflecting the wealth of the characters.
In a play about musicians, sound is crucial. Many compositions by Mozart and Salieri play throughout the production, and both composers take to the piano (a decrepit one in tune with the rest of the set). At the opening of the play, Salieri's howls echo in the playhouse, an eerie effect that mimics the acoustics of an empty hall. The lighting is equally poetic, dancing with the music like a ballerina.
Director Michael Gieleta is no stranger to the stage, with numerous theater and opera credits on his resume. Under his guide, the interplay of musical performance and acting fits together seamlessly. Though the operatic action takes place offstage, the music carries to center stage, a smart move that keeps the focus on the acting as oppose to theatrics.
Gieleta's orchestration of the relationship between Salieri and Mozart is masterful. Their interactions illustrate their differences; where Mozart is playful and immature, Salieri is composed and dignified. These differences are highlighted by spectacular performances.
Veteran Broadway actor Tom Bloom stars as Salieri. From first sight, Bloom conveys a sense of despair, his back hunched parallel to the floor. As we rewind back in time, Bloom stands tall and confident as a younger Salieri. Aware of his own skill, Salieri's aplomb is only diminished by Mozart's arrival. Bloom is in every way a scorned man, awaiting destruction at every turn. At the close of the nearly two-and-a-half hour production, which includes numerous soliloquies and monologues, Bloom is as committed to his character as he was from minute one.
Ryan Garbayo's portrayal of Mozart is an evolution. He hops onto the stage as a hormone-crazed boy and is carried off a downtrodden shadow of a man. His range is astounding. Unafraid to scream, laugh or mimic donkey noises, Garbayo inhabits the character with gusto. His portrayal warrants other characters' urges of "a little less enthusiasm, please." As Constanze Mozart, Alexis Bronkovic is a strong counterpart to Garbayo. Assertive and jovial, her love for Mozart is obvious, as is her frustration with his failing career.
Though not a ghost story in the traditional sense, Amadeus will leave audiences feeling haunted long after curtain call. The Maltz Jupiter Theatre handles this difficult piece with vigor, producing superior performances and technical design. We're sure you'll be begging for an encore.
Amadeus plays at the Maltz Jupiter Theatre through November 11. To purchase tickets or learn more, visit jupitertheatre.org.

Shearwater – 'The Island Arc' at Austin's Central Presbyterian Church, Jan. 15December 7th, 2010 at 2:08 pm by Gerard
"On January 15th, 2011, Shearwater will present The Island Arc, the trilogy of albums that includes 2006's Palo Santo, 2008's Rook, and 2010's The Golden Archipelago, in a single, complete performance at the beautiful Central Presbyterian Church in Austin, Texas.
This will be a one-time-only event – we've never performed these thematically-linked albums in order, and probably never will again. We've also never played some of the songs live at all. We'll be joined by old and new friends for this show, and we promise a really special evening for everyone.
The Island Arc isn't a farewell show, not by a long shot, but it does feel like a bookend. It's a way for us to look back and to clear the way for what's next – which, whatever it is, is going to be quite different from these records.
We begin recording a new album in early 2011. " – Jonathan Meiburg

The decline of hunting participation in the United States might have bottomed out in recent years, but the hunting population still isn't keeping up with population growth.
That said, gun sales continued to skyrocket in 2012, a further indication that sportsmen don't necessarily drive firearms sales, which have been on a decided upswing since the election of President Barack Obama.
In a recent report, the National Rifle Association, using data released by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, touted the 8.3 million firearms produced for sale in the United States in 2012, an increase of 33 percent from the 6.2 million produced in 2011.
The NRA describes the large jump in sales as a repudiation of gun-control efforts as reflected by the buying public. Many if not most of the guns never will be aimed at wildlife.
Handgun production hit 4 million in 2012, a 32 percent increase from 2011. The production of pistols was up 36 percent.
Production of the AR-15, the civilian version of the military's M-16, nearly doubled in 2012 to more than 825,000 units. Rifle production increased 38 percent, to 3 million units in 2012, while shotgun production rose to 900,000, an increase of about 18 percent from the previous year.
Early data provided by the FBI indicate that gun sales increased further in 2013, the NRA said.

"Why should buzzards be the only ones to benefit from" road kill, Tink is asking potential constituents. … Sponsors of the Biggest Week in Birding, which takes place in northwest Ohio annually and is scheduled for May 6-15 this year, have begun a campaign to purchase habitat in Nicaragua to help save the migratory golden-winged warbler. The warbler's numbers, as monitored along its migratory route in Ohio, reportedly are down 76 percent since 1966.

Raising Patient Safety Awareness Across the Country
July 8
By Joe McCannon, Senior Advisor to the Administrator, CMS. Cross-post from Heathcare.gov
Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is continuing to work with a wide variety of public and private partners to improve the care and services patients receive in our health system.
We are proud to announce that we have collaborated with nearly 4,500 organizations, including over 2,000 hospitals that have officially committed to improving patient safety by joining the initiative! In fact, HHS is thrilled to recognize the 100% participation rate by Iowa hospitals to promote innovations to improve hospital care and reduce wasteful spending.
Are you a partner? If so, you can add the badge below to your website. All you need to do is click here or on the image below and grab the code provided on the right side of the page where it says "show code."
Building off the extraordinary work many local hospitals and health systems around the country have already been doing – from Denver Colorado to Richmond Virginia – the Partnership for Patients aims to improve the quality, safety and affordability of health care for all Americans.
One Denver hospital in particular is setting the bar for Patient Safety. Last month, HHS Secretary, Kathleen Sebelius, visited Denver Health along with Dr. Don Berwick, Administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. Denver Health, along with other hospitals and organizations across the country are committed to providing better health care.
Check out this PBS NewsHour program to learn why improving health outcomes and lowering costs go hand in hand. Seven years ago, Denver Health took a structured approach to improving quality and safety. By focusing on high opportunity clinical circumstances, Denver Health ranks first, with the lowest ratio of deaths according to the 2010 University Health System Consortiums Quality and Aggregate Score. While this success is encouraging, too many Americans go without quality healthcare: which is where the Partnership for Patients comes in.
This partnership is connecting health care providers all across the nation. At a recent visit to Regions Hospital in St. Paul, Secretary Sebelius learned about the "time-out" towel. This towel is used to cover surgical instruments at Regions Hospital to help ensure operations don't being until safety protocol has been observed. This partnership is fostering innovation and encouraging health care providers to share their own success stories.
To kick off this unprecedented partnership, two goals have been identified:
•Reduce preventable injuries in hospitals by 40 percent
•Cut hospital re-admissions by 20 percent
By achieving these goals and providing better care, countless Americans will have more healthy years to spend with their loved ones. Together we can build a stronger, safer health care system and he Partnership for Patients helps us do just that, one hospital at a time.

Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Day of Atonement
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- You better believe you'll make some mistakes in the market, Jim Cramer told "Mad Money" viewers Wednesday as he kicked off his yearly "Day of Atonement" show to review his biggest mistakes over the past year.Cramer said investors need to learn from their mistakes, which begins by first acknowledging what they were.
There were a lot of things going wrong with the markets this year, Cramer noted. Everything from turmoil in Europe to a slowing China to Washington gridlock and a Federal Reserve that couldn't seem to do anything right to jump-start the U.S. economy.Yet, despite these many negatives, the stock market never quit, which is why Cramer continued all year long to recommend a diversified portfolio of high-yielding dividend stocks with a little gold for good measure.
In the end, Cramer sees the glass as half-full. Europe, he said, will eventually fix its problems and China's economy will eventually regain its momentum. With the Fed keeping bond rates low, dividend stocks remain the only game in town, which is why Cramer said he comes to work every morning.
Dog Days
Cramer's first lesson to investors? Every dog has its day. That was surely the case with First Solar (FSLR) , a company he first advised selling at $138 a share and reiterated selling in the $60s, $50s, $40s, $30s and again in the $20s as the stock continued to decline.
So why then did Cramer not declare victory and move on? Why did he make one final sell recommendation at just $13 a share? Cramer said he simply got greedy and complacent, and the dog finally rose up and bit him. Shortly after his sell recommendation, First Solar caught a big break in the way of stiffer U.S. tariffs, sending its shares higher.
Cramer also explained how he gave up on Darden Restaurants (DRI) on Sept. 6, after the company pre-announced yet another earnings disappointment. He said that he had waited for ages for the company to turn itself around but it never did. So in a fit of non-discipline, he told viewers to swap into Yum Brands (YUM) instead.
Cramer said the mistake was giving up when everyone else did, a move that almost always yields a better time to sell later. He said that Darden paid a bountiful dividend, paying him to wait, which made his rush call to sell at the bottom a big mistake. There's always a better time to sell than when everyone else is selling, he concluded.
Don't Fall in Love
Cramer's next lesson for investors was to never fall in love with a stock, as he did with Chipotle Mexican Grill (CMG.) .
