Washington, D.C. - Day seven of Convention tracking shows Obama and Romney tied on 45%. This signals that we're not likely to see a sustained bump for Romney. As we go into next week's convention, Romney will struggle to maintain even footing with the President; we'll likely see a shift back towards Obama. The question is if, and how long, the Democrats can maintain any boost that the Convention brings them.
Summary findings from today's poll:
This is a daily rolling tracker – this means that we conduct 300+ interviews a day, and aggregate data from the previous five days. The sample overlap that occurs as part of this process means that day-to-day changes will be incremental rather than large. The charts attached help to show how the data is shifting over the past five days.
These are findings from an Ipsos poll conducted for Thomson Reuters from August 29-Sept 2, 2012. For the survey, a sample of
1,441 American registered voters was interviewed online. The precision of the Reuters/Ipsos online polls is measured using a credibility interval. In this case, the poll has a credibility interval of plus or minus 2.9 percentage points for all respondents. For more information about credibility intervals, please see the appendix.
The data were weighted to the U.S. current population data by gender, age, education, and ethnicity. Statistical margins of error are not applicable to online polls. All sample surveys and polls may be subject to other sources of error, including, but not limited to coverage error and measurement error. Figures marked by an asterisk (*) indicate a percentage value of greater than zero but less than one half of a per cent. Where figures do not sum to 100, this is due to the effects of rounding.
Non-aligned Registered Voters are defined as those individuals not indicating a candidate preference at the Presidential Voting Intention question (Q3 below).

Romance in the Gorge
The Fairgate Inn • Camas, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Luxury Guest Suite
- Daily Gourmet Breakfast Bar
- Complimentary Beverage Station and Snack Bar
The Destination
Acclaimed as the Gateway to the Gorge, the historic district of Camas is anything but a yawn. Surrounded by rivers, parks, lakes, and majestic mountains, this homey hamlet on the river affords visitors the chance to drink in the natural beauty of the region. Add to that a world-class city in Portland, just 20 minutes away, and you've got the makings for an unforgettable getaway.
The Digs
If early explorers had located lodging as luxe as The Fairgate Inn, they probably would have never reached the end of the Columbia River. Each of this monumental mansion's eight guest suites is filled with creature comforts, from ten-foot ceilings to marble fireplaces and iPod docking stations. Individually decorated rooms include European-style accents like antique armoires, rich tapestries, or even a cherry sleigh bed. Best of all, tuckered-out travelers needn't look further than the fully stocked snack bar for gourmet treats and a midnight cup of cocoa.
The Diversions
• Be sure to bring a camera on a hike around Multnomah Falls
• Explore the restaurants, boutiques, and parks in Portland's Pearl District
• Hit the links at Camas Meadows Golf Course, one of the Pacific Northwest's top courses
• Hark back to Washington's fur trading days at Fort Vancouver National Historic Site

Suppose you lived in an alternative universe, and you needed toothpaste, so you could brush your alternative teeth and look hygienic. Unfortunately, in this imaginary world, toothpaste is a controlled substance, tightly regulated by the government for reasons ("It's a gateway drug that leads to flossing and eventually to fluoridated water") that are exceptionally stupid.
To get a tube of the stuff, you have three choices:
You can ask your doctor for a letter recommending you be allowed to possess small amounts of toothpaste to alleviate the symptoms of certain diseases, such as terminal halitosis. You can then apply to the state for a license, which will cost you a hundred bucks, allowing you to make purchases at government-sanctioned dispensaries, located in obscure corners of the countryside, for an exorbitant amount of money.
Or you can make your own toothpaste, although the equipment to squeeze it into the tube is expensive, difficult for a person suffering from bacterial growth in the mouth to operate, and subject to frequent unannounced inspections by law-enforcement officials. By the time you pay for the set-up plus the extra electricity and lawyer fees, the price is nearly as outrageous as at the dispensary.
Or you can purchase excellent quality toothpaste, for a lot less money, illegally.
I suspect the gleam in your eye and the gleam in your grin indicate your alternative-universe self decided on the third option. As a result, you've saved a mint and your breath is minty-fresh. The fact that you broke an exceedingly dopey law to accomplish your goal and accommodate your budget shouldn't bother your alternative conscience at all.
Back in the real world, there is, of course, no ridiculous governmental ban on toothpaste. The state does control the prices of some commodities, such as liquor, milk, and health-insurance premiums, but to date, that hasn't resulted in black markets in Blue Cross-Blue Shield policies or dairy products ("hey, this isn't powdered milk you tried to sell me, it's cocaine"). I suppose there'd probably be more booze bootlegging if New Hampshire wasn't so cheap and convenient. In general, though, the marketplace forces of supply and demand determine prices.
Unless you happen to need medical marijuana. In which case, things suddenly go all alternative universe.
Under Maine's complicated new regulations for dispensing pot to sick people, the state has allowed private non-profit companies to open just eight dispensaries. But those dispensaries will not necessarily be located where most patients who might benefit from a doobie or two actually live.
For instance, the facility that's supposed to serve all of Franklin, Oxford, and Androscoggin counties could end up in Wilton or Poland, while the population is centered in Lewiston and Auburn. They say they'll offer home delivery. I wonder if they'll take orders for munchies, too.
Need a toke in Presque Isle or Houlton? You could be driving over 100 miles to Fort Kent. Waterville residents may have to visit Augusta, and the entire mid-coast is expected to descend on Thomaston for its weed needs.
Why not allow more dispensaries and in more convenient locations?
As one anonymous state official didn't tell me, "That's not the way they do it with toothpaste in the alternative dimensions we visited."
Then, there's the issue of price.

Woodhaven Boulevard is one of the major streets in Queens NY, it continues where Cross Bay Boulevard leaves off in Ozone Park. One of the widest Boulevards in New York City, Woodhaven Boulevard in mostly 8-10 lanes throughout it's stretch. Woodhaven Boulevard doesn't have much stores on it except in Rego Park, and is often used more as an alternative to the often horribly clogged up Van Wyck Expressway. Woodhaven Boulevard cuts through neighborhoods such as Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Glendale, Middle Village, and Rego Park before ending at Queens Boulvard in Elmhurst. The Q11 and Q53 buses run down Woodhaven Boulevard.

Zahra' Langhi:
Why Libya's revolution didn't work — and what might
In Libya, Zahra' Langhi was part of the "days of rage" movement that helped topple the dictator Gaddafi. But — then what? In their first elections, Libyans tried an innovative slate of candidates, the "zipper ballot," that ensured equal representation from men and women of both sides. Yet the same gridlocked politics of dominance and exclusion won out. What Libya needs now, Langhi suggests, is collaboration, not competition; compassion, not rage.

hello everyone.
my name is calvin, people call me "warbuk", located out in hodges SC.
i hang out on a few forums, so i searched for a bee forum and this one popped up and looked pretty active. read the rules and the site is just like others i frequent. hope yall don't mind me hanging around.
my dad and I had 5 large hives when i was a kid, moving forced the forfeit of them. i have been thinking quietly about starting up again over the past few years, then other day my oldest boy (13) mentioned it.
so, i called my dad up, he located and gave me his books (from late 70's early 80's) the prices on hives back in the day is a shocker compared to now lol.
my son, dad and I are going to get started this spring. i ordered one hive this morning (1 brood, 1 super) to get started. i was going to put in an order for bees but after calling around some yesterday, i ran across a lady with a swarm in her lake house. i plan to take them around the 1st of april. my dad and I did this a few times when i was young and we had great success with it, so we are going to try that again. just got to hope they are clean. time will tell.
it's been 27 years since i fooled with honey bees. i have no fear of bees and welcome the challenge of doing it again. i've been looking thru here and reading dads old books the past few days. i'm sure i still have some catching up to do on bee life.
i will try not to ask stupid questions and i know how to search haha.
i will have to be careful with my pic sizes tho

Confusion continues to surround City Hall's future
Talks during City Council session surround petition/ballot language
EL PASO, Texas - The future of City Hall remains a relative question mark.
While the city continues to make waves preparing to move its employees to clear space, and ultimately demolish City Hall, the end game of legal battles remains unclear.
The city of El Paso previously took legal action to vacate their current property at 2 Civic Plaza Road, to build a baseball park. The park would be home of the Tucson Padres, a team that was purchased by a group of El Paso-based businessmen under the name of MountainStar LLC.
On Tuesday, city representatives were expected to discuss the options of placing a petition, certified by the city clerk after more than 5,000 signatures were certified on a May ballot. Instead, representatives voted a motion to do so down by a vote of 5 to 3. Representatives Emma Acosta, Eddie Holguin and Carl Robinson were the lone representatives voting to put the petition on the ballot.
Legally the petition must go before the voters. The city doesn't dispute that fact, however, they are waiting to put the May ballot together because they expect to have amendments to the El Paso city charter included.
Due to the Voting Rights Act, Texas must submit a ballot to the Department of Justice for approval before any vote can take place. But city staff and hired attorneys say that wouldn't need to take place until February.
But whether a vote of El Pasoans would ultimately undo the city's plan to demolish City Hall remains a question.
Lowell Denton, who has represented the city of El Paso in several pieces of litigation tied to the demolition of City Hall, gave a presentation explaining where the city is at.
He made it clear his presentation was not legal opinion before stating, "There is not a right for the court to stop something that has been properly authorized just because there may be future legislative action, or an election, in the future that might change the outcome. Again, that's a general principle that won't be resolved until court rulings in pending cases."
The court ruling he refers to is a lawsuit currently pending against the city of El Paso. Salvador Gomez, who started the initial petition to repeal a resolution signed in June of this year, will be in court on January 10, 2013. The outcome of that lawsuit will likely determine whether a future vote pertaining to the site of City Hall can stop a wrecking ball.
However, questions exist about the ballot language.
Because Gomez' petition was voted down by City Council in September, his next step was to collect enough votes to bring the issue forward for a vote of the people. He did just that. However, there remains questions about what his petition would do.
The city attorney, Sylvia Firth, and legal counsel hired by the city of El Paso have questioned if that language would, in fact, stop the demolition of City Hall. The two sides, obviously, don't agree.
"The wording is perfect," said Gomez. "It's being brought under scrutiny solely as a delay tactic."
But when David Ochoa, another man attempting to stop the destruction of City Hall, spoke before the city he questioned the language too.
"That's ridiculous," said Ochoa, after a city employee read the petition into the record. "I can't follow it, and I'm reading it."
Ochoa wants a vote before the people, but was upset with the wording. The city attorney stated during council's session that the wording couldn't be changed. That petition language would eventually become ballot language per the city charter.
Ochoa, and others, are now circulating a second petition that aims to also be on a May ballot. That ballot clearly requests that City Hall should not be demolished before an election is put before the voters of El Paso.
Whether two ballot items being placed on the same ballot would confuse voters remains a question to be answered. Asked about it, the city attorney declined to speculate.
"We'll get to that if it happens, but that is an issue as well," said Firth.
Salvador Gomez' lawsuit will next be discussed in a Texas state court on January 10, 2013. In the meantime, a plan is being made to move City Hall employees to temporary offices in preparation for the demolition of City Hall.

The process in which beings from beyond Earth of higher intelligence then Humans invade and conquer our planet. In Hollywood, most films depict a human victory against the aliens, but War of the Worlds, directed by Steven Spielberg, has the aliens die of germs, which is far more likely. However, most scientists think that aliens would completely defeat humans, in a more of "extermination" than a war. Alien invasion is taken seriously from the UN, to the UK, to the USA.
The Pentagon has a plan for what to do in the case of alien invasion.

Princess Kate in her maternity wardrobe was gorgeous and stylish.. She certainly sets a fashion example for all those "star" pregnant women. No need to wear skin tight dresses in order to be noticed during a pregnancy. Hopefully the ladylike example will sink in with those designers that the future new Moms are using! Kardashians take note!

It seems 'More-is-better'. More Honey, More Bees, More Swarms, More Hives.
Is it possible to maintain just one or two hives? I may be divorced or expelled from the neighborhood with any more.

Please give me some encouraging advice.

Jumpstart your Nagios installation, same day setup guarrantied !!
By valentin_nils
from Undisclosed
Comments about oreilly Network Monitoring with Nagios:
If you have to setup Nagios the same day and have no clue yet were to start, than this is the text you need.Just copy and paste the samples and you are good to go. Once you got behind a certain stage chances are that you will want to extend on that knowledge. I do recommend Wolfgang Barths - System and Network Monitoring from No Starch (http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/1593270704/) There is more out there http://www.amazon.com/Nagios-based-monitoring/lm/RWDDEA3CVS5VR/ref=cm_lm_byauthor_title_full/002-2752986-4323205but No Starch Press's book is covering the most things.

Good Introduction
By Pat Eyler
Network Monitoring with Nagios is a good introduction to using Nagios in a small to mid sized network. It contains several configuration examples, and describes normal interaction with teh web interface.I wish it had more coverage of creating new plugins, but I can see why that was left out of an introductory text.

Video-game characters get more realistic all the time — and by more realistic, we mean sexier. This year offered a plethora of digital delights and graphical innovations, and although developers don't usually cater to their straight female and gay male audience members nearly as much as they could, they did a decent job this year keeping us frothing at the mouth.
The competition for the '09 list was stiffer than it was last year and it was hard picking between one rock-hard bod from another, but we were able to narrow the selection down to these 10, so ladies, men, enjoy!
Note: These are characters who made their first appearances in a 2009 game, so if you're planning to whine about a stud who didn't make the cut, make sure he actually debuted this year.
10. The Beatles of The Beatles: Rock Band
The last couple generations appreciate the Beatles as musical geniuses, but we didn't personally get to witness the full-throttle British invasion as true sex symbols. The Beatles: Rock Band gives the new generation of females a taste of that storied past by illustrating how dead sexy the boys from Liverpool used to be — with the side effect of making our moms want to give the game a try. Harmonix has skillfully recreated the Beatles' swoon-worthy natural appearances, reassuring fans' woes that the Fab Four would end up with Uncanny Valley stares like the Aerosmith members sport in their Guitar Hero title.

Reviews of this property
We stayed at Kurt's place for six days together with our 10 months old son. The apartment is located in a very nice (not touristic) area with parks and little shops and nice restaurants/cafés which we wouldn't have explored if we'd stayed somewhere (even) more central. It takes about 30 min by metro and approx. 45 min by bus to get to Downtown Market Street. Both options are within walking distance. Kurt was very kind and helpful!
Our stay at Kurt's was ok, not more. The Location is good, you can buy a Clipper Card for Bus transportation at Walgreens. We had only one email contact to Kurt, not more. We got the key from a friend of Kurt. Be aware, that you have to take care of Sam, the cat. You have to feed him, to pet him and to let him out. If Kurt is at home, you have to share the bathroom. Kurt didn't answer to any of our emails during our stay, so we left the keys on the table.
SF is very nice, but next time we will check for an accomodation in town.
Kurt is a very friendly host and we can only recommend this stay if you have the chance to travel to beautiful San Francisco. We felt like home and actually we had the best coffee there during our entire stay. Thumbs up!
So much to my pair as to my, we have been charmed with happening our days of San Francisco in Kurt's house, he is a marvellous host, respectfully, agreeably and charming, if we have the opportunity, we will turn insurance!! 100% advisable, without any doubts the best site to remain in San Francisco
Nice hosts, extravagant and cozy house. Nice room, everything you need. SUPER value for money.
THANK Kurt and Sam !!!
Jessica and Rainer
Netter Gastgeber, extravagantes und gemütliches Haus. Schönes Zimmer , alles was man braucht. SUPER Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.
VIELEN DANK Kurt und Sam!!!
Jessica und Rainer
We were from 9-13.05.15 at Kurt. The accommodation was as described and we felt very comfortable. By bus (which is just around the corner), there are about 20 minutes into town. As best an equal one (depending on stay) 3 or 7 day ticket purchase. We were able to enjoy the time with Kurt him but unfortunately not at home .... as he was not at home. The phone calls we had were super comfortable.
Price / performance ratio very recommendable.
Wir waren vom 9-13.05.15 bei Kurt. Die Unterkunft war so wie beschrieben und wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Mit dem Bus (der direkt um die Ecke ist) sind es ca 20 min bis in die Stadt. Da am besten eine gleich ein (je nach Aufenthalt) 3 bzw 7 Tages Ticket kaufen. Wir haben die Zeit bei Kurt genossen konnten Ihn aber leider nicht antreffen....da er nicht zuhause war. Die Telefonate die wir hatten waren super angenehm.
Preis/Leistung sehr zu empfehlen.
Very friendly welcome with fresh flowers in clean rooms. Kurt is a pleasant host who has also given us many helpful insider tips for San Francisco. His hangover Sam was pleased with each caress. In the kitchen we could move at home. Public transport and supermarkets were in the immediate vicinity. We were very happy and had a good time in San Francisco.
Sehr freundlicher Empfang mit frischen Blumen im sauberen Zimmer. Kurt ist ein angenehmer Gastgeber der uns auch viele hilfreiche Insidertipps zu San Francisco gegeben hat. Sein Kater Sam freute sich über jede Streicheleinheit. In der Küche konnten wir uns wie zu Hause bewegen. Die öffentlichen Verkehrsmittel und auch Supermärkte waren in unmittelbarer Nähe. Wir waren sehr zufrieden und hatten eine schöne Zeit in San Francisco.
Kurt is a very quiet, almost too because there has been little communication with him.
Kurt est quelqu'un de très discret, presque trop car il y a eu peu d'échanges avec lui.

The bolt looks just like your run of the mill AK bolt but is longer. Actually, an Ak one will drop right in the carrier. I'll try and post some photos if I can figure out how.
Do these models have the 2 lug bolt as has been suggested?
Any pics or links would be much appreciated.

I'm sure this has already been thought of, but couldn't you use a Yugo barrel and re chamber it in .308 with a chamber reamer?
Do I see right that the Yugo bolts are longer than the standard AKMs? Is the receiver longer and FCG position different? This woulddefinitely explain how they do them up to 308.
That is correct the 308 Bolts are longer.....
J if you need a bolt let me know and I'll get one for you.
Does anyone still have the 'bolt comparison' pics? They no longer show up on this thread.
Arriving a little late here, but these .308 conversion threads still hold alot of interest

My question is the following, I want to save in a file / read from a file, an entire vector with different values in each position. But, if it is a very long vector... instead of doing something like this:
But if we're talking about a really long vector, it can become tedious.Code:fp = fopen ("Datos.txt","w"); fprintf (fp, "%d %d %d %d %d ", vector[1], vector[2], vector[3], vector[4], vector[5]); fclose (fp);
Maybe there could be done something like:
I know it's wrong, it's to give a general idea. Any help is apreciated.Code:for(f=0;f<6;f++) {fprintf(fp,"%d",vector[f]);

Re: favourite dessert
Hi Babygirl23, my favorite dessert recipe is very simple. Just put a tub of mascapone into a bowl, add icing sugar to taste, a punnet of fresh rasberries (or you can use frozen) and a little vanilla. Fold all ingredients so as berries are evenly distributed (some will break up but that is good - it gives a swirly colour effect). Line individual small serving plates (I use little ramikins) with cut up sponge finger biscuits (or you could use whatever sort of "crust" you like). Spoon the mascapone mix evenly onto the biscuits, decorate each with a single rasberry on top and dust with icing sugar. Done - enjoy!

Re: favourite dessert
I love torta di riso from Jamie's Italy - its a sweet rice tart, and is absolutely yummy. Great eaten warm from the oven or cold the next day!
I love pavlova as well!
4 egg whites
225g caster sugar
2 teaspoons cornflour
1 teaspoon vinegar
little extra sugar (about a tablespoon)
-tub of whipping cream
-fresh fruit
-Preheat the oven to 140/gasmrk1
-Line a baking sheet either with greaseproof paper
-Whisk the egg whites until they form stiff peaks, then add the sugar a tablespoon at a time until the mix is glossy and suff
-Then whisk in the vinegar and cornflour
-Pile the mix onto the baking sheet into a circle - leaving a little bit of a hollow in the middle
-Sprinkle with the extra sugar (if you like - it caramelises and gives the pavlova a lovely warm colour - I like it, but I'm not sure I've ever seen anyone else do this!)
-Bake for an hour - it should be crispy outside, soft inside
-Top with the whipping cream (some people use double cream, but I find it a little bit heavy) and the fresh fruit
I also love making egg custard, melting in a big bar of dark chocolate with a high cocoa content and then letting it set in the fridge - it makes a lovely creamy chocolately thing. Perfect served with a little cream and some fresh berries!

Re: favourite dessert
New York Cheesecake
15 graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
4 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3/4 cup milk
4 eggs
1 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9 inch springform pan.
In a medium bowl, mix graham cracker crumbs with melted butter. Press onto bottom of springform pan.
In a large bowl, mix cream cheese with sugar until smooth. Blend in milk, and then mix in the eggs one at a time, mixing just enough to incorporate. Mix in sour cream, vanilla and flour until smooth. Pour filling into prepared crust.
Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour. Turn the oven off, and let cake cool in oven with the door closed for 5 to 6 hours; this prevents cracking. Chill in refrigerator until serving.
Rhubarb Cobbler
3/4 cup white sugar
2 tablespoons cornstarch
4 cups chopped rhubarb
1 tablespoon water
1 tablespoon butter, diced
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup milk
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons white sugar
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9 inch square baking dish.
In a saucepan, mix 3/4 cup sugar and cornstarch. Stir in the rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Transfer to the prepared baking dish. Dot with butter, and sprinkle with cinnamon.
In a medium bowl, sift together flour, 1 tablespoon sugar, baking powder, and salt. Cut in the butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
In a small bowl, mix the milk and egg. Add all at once to dry ingredients, stirring just to moisten. Drop by teaspoonfuls on top of the rhubarb mixture. Sprinkle with sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, until crisp and lightly browned.
Panna Cotta
1/3 cup skim milk
1 (.25 ounce) envelope unflavored gelatin
2 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup white sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Pour milk into a small bowl, and stir in the gelatin powder. Set aside.
In a saucepan, stir together the heavy cream and sugar, and set over medium heat. Bring to a full boil, watching carefully, as the cream will quickly rise to the top of the pan. Pour the gelatin and milk into the cream, stirring until completely dissolved. Cook for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and pour into six individual ramekin dishes.
Cool the ramekins uncovered at room temperature. When cool, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, but preferably overnight before serving.

I'm trying to create a hexmap based game, like Panzer General, well actually I'm trying to animate unit movement.
And this is where I have problem. I am using A* algorithm to determine the path, so that is not problem.
My problem is that image I'm animating is always a couple of pixels on X-axis late.
This is how I calculate the movement:
int SPEED = 1; int SOUTH_EAST = 300; double newX = Math.cos(Math.toRadians(SOUTH_EAST)); double newY = Math.sin(Math.toRadians(SOUTH_EAST)); this.speedX = SPEED * newX; this.speedY = -SPEED * newY; .... // later in code inside each frame this.x += this.speedX; this.y += this.speedY // drawing of image inside each frame g.drawImage(this.tileImage, (int) this.x, (int) this.y, (int) this.x + TILE_SIZE, (int) this.y + TILE_SIZE, frameX, frameY, frameX + TILE_SIZE, frameY + TILE_SIZE, observer);
The problem is that those 300 degrees is from 0,0 to 39,39 (My tile size is 40) which is diagonal of the square inside which the hexagon is, and I need a little sharper angle since I'm not working with squares but hexagons. Ok, I know I need to provide correction for x and y, but that is not the point, point is that my movement by X-axis is late and if I put the angle of 305 that is too much.
Well my question is, how am I suppose to animate the unit movement from one hextile to another?
Is my approach good and I just need to do a better math calculation (I'm terrible in math, BTW) or is there some other approach?

I picked that Evans was quite a bit older - he had that "adult" look about him that Josh and Jason have this year - but wow at Yostanto, I thought he was way older too! He was the same height as Jason when Jason was on the higher podium step You can totally tell that Josh and Jason are the babies of the group.

Justin Bieber's mother wants him to get back together with Selena Gomez.
The 18-year-old popstar's mother Pattie Mallette has reportedly been urging him to reconcile with the Spring Breakers actress because she feels his ex-girlfriend is a good influence on him.
The on/off couple split in December after two years, with Selena allegedly being unhappy with Justin's neediness and his circle of friends.
A source explained to RadarOnline.com: "Justin's mum has always been very close to Selena, and she's impressed by what a good influence she's been on her son. Pattie's been pushing hard for Justin to get back with Selena. However, Selena doesn't want to associate with the crowd Justin's been hanging out with lately as she thinks they're not to be trusted."
The 20-year-old actress is said to be unimpressed by her ex-boyfriend's recent antics - including photos of him allegedly smoking marijuana being leaked online - and feels Justin's friends are to blame.
"It was one of Justin's supposed friends who recently sold photos of him allegedly smoking weed," the source said.
"Selena is very careful who she spends time with and is very suspicious of people she doesn't know - she doesn't want to be with Justin all the time as he's surrounding himself with what she thinks are really shady people."
However, the Baby singer's mother is hopeful the former Disney actress could help him turn things around.
"Pattie believes though that if Selena would just get back together again with Justin she could soon get him back on the straight and narrow."
Selena - who is said to be struggling to cut off all contact with her ex - reportedly spent the night at Justin's home in Los Angeles last week and she was spotted leaving, accompanied by his bodyguard, on Saturday morning.

Playboy.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em: Week Three
After a week two with many surprises, Playboy.com's Start 'Em, Sit 'Em returns with some more good finds for week three.
Welcome to Playboy.com's Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit' Em column. Each week, we'll sort through the rubble of waiver wires and underappreciated players to find sneaky good players to start (or in some cases sit) to help you win your fantasy week. Please keep in mind that we're not going after the big fish here; you should start Aaron Rodgers, Tom Brady and Arian Foster all the time. These are the guys you might be on the fence about or find rotting on the wire. You can thank us later.
Start 'Em
Tony Romo: After torching sixth-string Giants corners for three TDs in week one, the 'Boys stumbled against a potent Seahawks defense in week two. And while Romo is the lightning rod on which all the Cowboys' faults are blamed, he looked pretty sharp in both. This week he gets Tampa, who has surrendered a league-worst 813 passing yards over the first two weeks and whom Romo has owned, going 3-0 with 908 yards, a 71 percent completion percentage, 11 TDs and no interceptions.
Michael Bush: Christmas comes early for fantasy owners who begrudgingly drafted Michael Bush knowing full well that his touches and yards would be limited by Matt Forté. A not-so-high ankle sprain has sidelined the Bears' crown prince for at least a week, leaving the bulk of the carries against a Rams team that gave up 176 yards to Washington last week for Bush.
Brandon LaFell: Fun fantasy fact: Brandon LaFell currently ranks inside the top 15 for fantasy points among wideouts. He eclipsed the ailing Steve Smith last week with eight targets to Smith's four and looks, at least for now, to be the preferred target of Cam Newton. This week he gets the banged-up Giants back seven and should be good for another strong showing.
Brent Celek: Last week we advised sitting Celek and he exploded on us for 157 on 8 receptions against a supposedly strong Ravens D. Mea culpa. With WR Jeremy Maclin dealing with hip issues and Vick up against a defense that managed to hold Tom Brady in check, look for Celek to catch a lot of check downs and pick up some yards along the way.
Chicago Bears: Granted, Sam Bradford and the Rams stormed back from 17 down last week against the 'Skins, but their offensive line is a wreck and Bradford is not a quarterback who likes to be rushed. Mistakes will be made here and the Bears' corners and defensive ends will be the beneficiaries.
Sit 'Em
Peyton Manning: Manning is coming off a game in which he threw three picks inside 15 minutes of play. He looked downright confused in the first quarter against a shadowy Atlanta defense and has admitted that he's probably not 100 percent yet. To add insult to injury, he's playing on short rest against a very good Houston defense so the upside here is minimal.
Michael Turner: Michael Turner's days as a surefire fantasy starter have been numbered for some time; this is a guy who's getting awfully close to the woodshed with a paltry 2.5 YPC and only 74 yards on the season, although it's still early. The Chargers have been particularly effective at stopping the run against some formative backs, so be wary starting one who's definitely on the downside of his career.
Jordy Nelson: Last week the Seahawks held Dez Bryant, Miles Austin and Kevin Ogletree to 17 combined fantasy points. While most leagues don't afford owners the luxury of sitting a guy like Nelson, if you've got someone who's a lock to get in the neighborhood of 10 points, we suggest starting him over Nelson.
Vincent Jackson: Many are probably inclined to set and forget a guy like Jackson, and why not? He went off last week 128 yards and a major. But that was against the Giants, who are picking guys out of the stands to defend the pass. This week he's up against a Cowboys secondary that has yet to allow a score through the air, and there's no reason to think Josh Freeman can break that seal.
Fred Davis: When the Redskins drafted RGIII they also drafted his college playbook; Washington has retooled to make the transition from the NCAA to the NFL as smooth as possible for their rookie QB, and unfortunately tight ends were not a prominent feature during RGIII's days at Baylor.
Chargers: Let's keep it simple: defenses are averaging -1 point against Atlanta after two games. Why take that chance?

I have been wondering if Braula has returned to those beekeepers who are treatment free. Prior to Varroa it was a common sight in hives without any ill effects. In my hives they were seen on almost every queen, in those days no one ever bothered to try to get rid of them, indeed some felt they were beneficial ( like the fish that swim along side sharks).
Looking at the distribution map, on this link, why were they not in Canada?

Do as your mother tells you.
New Zealand league fans will be hoping boom prop Sam Kasiano follows that age-old piece of wisdom when he decides where his loyalties lie in the coming weeks.
Recognised as the best prop in the NRL at the Dally M awards earlier this week, the 122kg, 21-year-old Aucklander's stock is high.
Although he has pledged his future to the Kiwis in writing, his eligibility became clouded when he was overlooked by the Kiwis selectors for the Anzac test and courted by Queensland coach Mal Meninga.
After a storming season he would be a certain selection for the Kiwis for October's one-off test against the Kangaroos in Townsville.
However Kasiano's last public statement on the matter suggested he had yet to make up his mind.
He will not be named in the Kiwis side unless he makes his intentions clear. And the Herald understands the NZRL have had difficulty making contact with Kasiano to clarify his position.
However NZRL general manager high performance Tony Kemp said he had spoken to Kasiano prior to the Bulldogs going into lockdown mode ahead of the NRL playoffs.
More recently he had spoken to Kasiano's mother, who said it was her strong preference for her son to represent the country of his birth.
"She has indicated she wants him to play for New Zealand," Kemp said. "Sam is a young man. He is only 21 and he wants to focus on finals football and we respect that.
"But he is well aware of where he sits with New Zealand Rugby League and as soon as he has finished with his [Bulldogs] commitments we'll be talking to him."
Kasiano is close friends with Kiwis stars Frank Pritchard and Greg Eastwood at the Bulldogs, a fact that may also influence his decision.
Kemp was annoyed that Kasiano - who moved to Australia as a teenager - was facing a dilemma at all.
"The Mal Meningas and Ricky Stuarts of this world confuse our kids, and Origin is such a massive carrot," Kemp said.
"But Sam moved over [to Australia] late. "He played less than a season in Queensland. He is not a Queenslander. It would be very, very embarrassing for the NRL if Sam Kasiano plays for Queensland.
"It just blows the whole state versus state concept out of the water."
Teenage Roosters sensation Roger Tuivasa-Scheck, another Kiwi being touted as a potential Origin player, was in no danger of switching allegiance, Kemp said.
"That won't happen, I can guarantee you that. He is a Kiwi. He'll be named in the Junior Kiwis side in a couple of weeks' time."

Marquette Soccer Coaching Philosophy
Entering his 21st year as head coach of the Marquette women's soccer team in 2016, Markus Roeders has built a renowned program that is synonymous with success.
Moreover, he has developed a program with a winning tradition, one that is a consistently nationally ranked and one of the top teams in the BIG EAST Conference. It is evident by career accomplishments and emphasized by the results of past seasons.
With a career mark of 290-111-44, a .701 winning percentage -- Roeders has proven he can coach a team that knows how to win. The Golden Eagles have finished the each of their 20 campaigns under Roeders .500-or-better and only once have failed to reach double digit victories. He has guided MU to 12 NCAA tournament appearances and advanced as far as the Sweet 16 three times (2005, 2010, 2012).
During his tenure, Roeders has produced 118 all-conference, 66 all-region, and 12 All-America selections. His teams have won nine regular-season conference titles, including five consecutive BIG EAST regular season crowns from 2009-13, and four tournament championships, including back-to-back titles in 2012 and 2013. In 12 NCAA Championships, Roeders owns a 6-3-2 record when those games are played at Valley Fields, 9-7-4 overall.
The Golden Eagles concluded the year with an 8-8-4 overall record and a mark of 5-3-1 in league action, helping their streak of appearances in the BIG EAST quarterfinals continue. Marquette earned the fifth seed in the conference tournament after stringing together a five-match unbeaten streak in mid-October before falling 1-0 at Butler in its final match of the season in Indianapolis.
Redshirt senior Jacie Jermier and junior Morgan Proffitt each earned All-BIG EAST First Team recognition and were joined by All-BIG EAST Second Team selection Darian Powell as NSCAA All-Region honorees. Junior Liz Bartels also garnered second team all-league honors with Powell, while Jamie Kutey was named to the league's all-freshman team.
A record of 10-9-2, a down season by Marquette women's soccer standards, was good enough for the squads 19th consecutive winning season under Roeders. The Golden Eagles lost in penalty kicks in their BIG EAST semifinal match against DePaul, which concluded their season.
Four Golden Eagles were named to the All-BIG East team in 2014. Senior Mary Luba and sophomore Liz Bartels earned first team honors, while junior Jacie Jermier and sophomore Morgan Proffitt were selected to the second team. Luba was also named to the 2014 NSCAA/Continental Tire NCAA Division I Women's All-Northeast Region second team.
2013 was yet another successful season for the Marquette women's soccer team as they totaled an 18-4 overall record, earned its fifth consecutive BIG EAST regular season title and remained BIG EAST Tournament champions with a second consecutive crown. The Golden Eagles earned the No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament, which was the program's highest seed and the 12th NCAA Championship berth in program history.
2012 was a record-setting year for the Marquette women's soccer program as they compiled an 18-2-3 record, the third-most wins in program history, and recorded a program and NCAA best 17 shutouts. The Golden Eagles won their fourth consecutive BIG EAST American Division Championship and a first-ever BIG EAST Tournament Championship.
MU went unbeaten in conference play last season with a 9-0-1 BIG EAST record and shutout opponents in each of the nine victories. The Golden Eagles had an unbeaten streak of 17 games in 2012, as the season came to a close on penalty kicks in the NCAA Sweet 16 round. Marquette had not lost a game since Sept. 9.
The Golden Eagles earned the 11th NCAA Championship berth in team history and advanced to the Sweet 16 for the third time. MU opened the NCAA Tournament with a 3-0 shutout over Illinois State at Valley Fields and mounted a comeback against Princeton in a 3-1 decision in the second round at BYU. Marquette fell in penalty kicks to No. 1 seed BYU after playing to a 0-0 draw in two overtimes.
Ally Miller was named BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year, the third consecutive year in which a Marquette player earned the award, while multiple Golden Eagles earned all-conference awards. Miller, Rachel Brown and Maegan Kelly earned first team honors, Rachael Sloan was named to the second team, while Amanda Engel, Emily Jacobson and Taylor Madigan were named to the third team. Engel was also an All-Rookie selection. In addition, Miller, Engel, Brown and Kelly were selected to the NSCAA All-Northeast Region squad.
The 2011 season proved to be a three-peat as the Golden Eagles captured their third straight BIG EAST American Division Championship and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Championship.
The Golden Eagles earned double-digit BIG EAST victories for the second consecutive season with a 10-1-0 mark, which included a thrilling 3-2 win over Notre Dame in overtime at Valley Fields. A loss early in conference at West Virginia didn't derail Marquette's hopes for third straight league crown as Marquette rattled off nine straight wins to complete the three-peat and it achieved a program-best national ranking of No. 5 (NSCAA) for two weeks (Oct. 17 and Oct. 25).
After earning the program's 10th NCAA Championship berth, Marquette defeated Toledo, 1-0 in overtime, at Valley Fields in the first round, before falling to Penn State, 4-1, in the second round at Wake Forest. The Golden Eagles capped the 2011 season 18-4-0 and ranked No. 16 by the NSCAA and No. 19 by Soccer America. MU's 18 wins were the third most in school history.
Following the end of the regular season several Golden Eagles were honored with post-season accolades. Both Natalie Kulla and Kerry McBride repeated as BIG EAST major award winners as the league's goalkeeper and defensive player of the year, while Maegan Kelly was selected to the All-BIG EAST First Team, Ally Miller to the All-BIG EAST Third Team and Mady Vicker to the All-BIG EAST Rookie Team. Kulla was also recognized as the BIG EAST's Female Scholar Athlete of the Year Award.
The Golden Eagles continued their winning tradition in 2010 as it repeated as BIG EAST Conference American Division Champions and advanced to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament for the second time in program history.
After starting the season 3-3-2, the Golden Eagles won a program-record 12 straight games while going unbeaten and untied in BIG EAST Conference play for the first time in program history en route to their second regular season title.
In NCAA Tournament play, the Golden Eagles earned a number three seed and defeated Central Michigan, 1-0, in the first round of the NCAA Tournament before topping Wisconsin, 5-4, in penalty kicks in the second round. The Golden Eagles finished the 2010 season 16-5-3 overall and ranked No. 23 by the National Soccer Coaches Association of America and No. 9 by Soccer America.
Roeders was named BIG EAST Coach of the Year for the second straight season and third time of his career, while junior Natalie Kulla was named the BIG EAST Goalkeeper of the Year and junior Kerry McBride was named the BIG EAST Defensive Player of the Year. Along with Kulla and McBride, senior Ashley Bares and junior Rachael Sloan also earned All-BIG EAST First Team honors, senior Rosie Malone-Povolny was named to the third team and freshman Maegan Kelly walked away with All-BIG EAST Rookie Team accolades. McBride also was named to the NSCAA/Performance Subaru Women's Division I All-America Third Team marking MU's first NSCAA All-America selection since Kate Gordon earned second team honors in 2002.
Rachael Sloan earned MU's first-ever All-BIG EAST First Team selection and was named to the NSCAA All-Northeast Region Second Team, while Natalie Kulla, who set a school record for shutouts with 16 was named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team, Rosie Malone-Povolny earned All-BIG EAST Third Team accolades and Ally Miller was named to the All-BIG EAST Rookie Team.
Following the season, Kulla, who owned the nation's seventh-best goals against average of 0.499 for the season, was invited to four U.S. Women's U-23 Team training camps.
In conference awards handed out following the season, Allison Mallams (despite playing in only nine games) and Christy Zwolski were each named to the All-BIG EAST Second Team, while Laura Boyer and Katie Kelly were named to the third team. Mallams, Kelly, Zwolski and Rosie-Malone Povolny were also showered with regional awards by the NSCAA and SoccerBuzz.
A testament to Roeders' ability to develop players, Mallams and Natalie Kulla were invited to U.S. Soccer National Team U-23 and U-20 training camps, respectively. Mallams earned a spot on the U-23 team and played with the team on its European Tour in preparation for the 2008 Nordic Cup. up.
In conference play, Marquette found success in the ultra competitive BIG EAST yet again as the Golden Eagles went 7-3-1 and took second place in the American Division. Allison Mallams was named to the BIG EAST Second Team, while Michelle Pitzl earned third team honors. Each were also awarded regional honors by the NSCAA and SoccerBuzz.
Success didn't stop in conference play. Roeders guided the 2005 team to the NCAA Tournament for the fifth time and first time in three seasons, advancing to the Sweet 16 round. A win over Wisconsin in the first round combined with a last-minute goal against UW-Milwaukee in the second round advanced Marquette farther than the school had ever been in NCAA Tournament play. MU dropped a 4-0 decision to national runner-up UCLA. The Golden Eagles finished the 2005 season 19-4-1 overall.
Roeders also coached his third All American; goalkeeper Laura Boyer was named a third-team selection. In all, nine players received conference, regional or national postseason awards following the 2005 season. Roeders was awarded for his success by being named the BIG EAST Coach of the Year, as well as a pair of Great Lakes Coach of the Year honors from the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) and Soccer Buzz.
In Marquette's final season in Conference USA, Roeders led the squad to a semifinal spot in the C-USA Tournament. Four Golden Eagles earned all-league honors, while Julie Thompson and Ashley George were tabbed as all-region selections. Following that season Roeders was honored as Conference USA's Coach of the Decade.
As usual, the team was littered with award recipients. Kate Gordon was both all-league and a Second Team All-America selection. Anne Dalecky received all-region honors as well. During the season, Roeders and associate head coach Frank Pelaez celebrated their 100th career win at Marquette.
Roeders' two most dominant players were also highly decorated. Gordon was named Conference USA Player of the Year and was a First Team All-Region selection, while Anne Dalecky was the C-USA Co-Defensive Player of the Year, as well as earning all-region accolades.
But the accolades didn't stop there. Roeders coached the program's first ever All-America selections -- Rhegan Hyypio (first team) and Gordon (second team). Roeders also produced three all-region selections and eight all-conference selections. For his efforts, Roeders was tabbed Coach of the Year in both Conference USA and the Great Lakes Region by the NSCAA. For the first time in school history, Marquette also finished the season nationally ranked. MU finished the year at 24th, reaching as high as 17th during the season. The Golden Eagles also went through the C-USA slate undefeated and won a second-consecutive conference tournament title. Roeders led his squad to a first-round NCAA Tournament win over Wright State, 2-1, at Valley Fields before falling to Texas A&M in the second round
Finishing with a 16-7-2 overall record, Marquette tallied a 2-1 overtime win against Charlotte in the league title contest before scoring a dramatic, four-overtime 3-2 victory over Missouri in its debut in NCAA Tournament play. In the second round, Marquette gave the eighth-ranked Clemson Tigers all they could handle, but dropped a hard-fought 1-0 decision on a last-minute goal.

Conservatively Speaking
State Senator Mary Lazich (R-New Berlin) represents parts of four counties: Milwaukee, Waukesha, Racine, and Walworth. Her Senate District 28 includes New Berlin, Franklin, Greendale, Hales Corners, Muskego, Waterford, Big Bend, the town of Vernon and parts of Greenfield, East Troy, and Mukwonago. Senator Lazich has been in the Legislature for more than a decade. She considers herself a tireless crusader for lower taxes, reduced spending and smaller government.
Statement on State Senate Approval of Mining Bill
Senator Mary Lazich released the following statement after the State Senate approved SB1, the Mining Bill, with a 17 to 16 vote.
"It's about time" said Lazich. "Mining is an opportunity we cannot afford to ignore or chase away. After two years, hours of debates and public hearings, Wisconsin is closer to having a path towards mining jobs while maintaining the environment within the beautiful state we all call home."
The Mining Bill allows companies applying to the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), a clear path to a permit after demonstrating that mining activity will not harm the environment. The Mining Bill sets timelines that allow the DNR to evaluate permits and give applicants a response. The bill guarantees that the environment will not be harmed by ensuring an applicant engages in mitigation that improves the watershed.
"This clear, thorough, and environmentally sound permitting process will be a lifeline for many families within Wisconsin. Mining has a rich history in our state. We will honor that history by allowing a future for mining. We do not have to choose between our environment and jobs. The Mining Bill allows us to have our cake and eat it too."

Mountain Bike Hydration Packs
Bicycling may earn commissions on products that are independently selected by our editorial team.
Bicycling may earn commissions on products that are independently selected by our editorial team.
Camelbak Octane, $90
The latest pack from Camelbak features a uniquely shaped water bladder that fits in the base of the pack to distribute weight to riders' hips instead of their upper backs. The upper portions of the 549 cubic-inch pack still have room for lighter items like pumps, tubes, food and a jacket. In addition to increasing comfort, the back-friendly design also is more stable on technical terrain, the company claims. The Octane, like every Camelback model this year, features the redesigned Antidote reservoir with a wider, easier-to-use opening.
Hydrapak Big Sur, $80
All of Hydrapak's models received a makeover in the past 12 months. The revised 450-cubic-inch Big Sur features the company's Soft Airmesh back panel with ventilation channels, a large main pocket, two organizational pockets and a fleece-lined pocket for mp3 players or other electronic devises. Hydrapak's popular and well-designed reservoir is included. This year, the pack also comes in bright green, or red and orange, in addition to the existing gray, black and white color options.
Lezyne Adroit
Even though the Adroit was redesigned last year, it has remained off many mountain bikers' radar. That's slowly changing as more riders take notice of the pack's comfort and organization. The 1,200-cubic-inch Adroit features enough space for multi-hour rides, but its smartly designed pockets make sorting through all that stuff easy. There are also separate storage areas—all nicely labeled—for electronics, trail tools, armor and larger items like jackets. The removable waist belt even has additional pockets for smaller food items or tools.
Arc'Teryx Aerios 14, $120
Arc'Teryx is well known for producing outstanding technical apparel. Now the British Columbia-based company is turning its attention to hydration packs. The Aerios offers 854 cubic inches of storage space in one large main compartment, an outer mesh pocket and two smaller organizational pockets on the sides. While the pack lacks mountain-bike-specific details, it's harness system offers a great, comfortable fit. And at only 19 grams, it's one of the lightest packs available. Its back panel is highly breathable and ventilated without being cumbersome. One catch, however: the pack's $120 price tag doesn't include a reservoir.
Dakine Nomad AC, $105
Pack powerhouse Dakine has added some fresh style to its Nomad pack this year. Part of the company's Artist Collaboration (AC) series, this limited-edition pack displays the work of Aussie illustrator Benjamin Cee. The pack itself is the same as existing Nomad models. With 1,100 cubic inches of storage, a helmet holder that carries full-face or XC lids, and armor straps, the Nomad is ideal for a wide variety of rides—from day-long park sessions to multi-hour trail adventures. Other touches include fleece-lined sunglass and media pockets, zippered side pockets, internal organization pockets and a molded, ventilated back panel.
