NPC, CPPCC Annual Sessions
BEIJING, March 7 (Xinhua) -- Chinese navy need to go from coastal waters to
oceans, a political advisor said here Saturday.
"Our navy shall move from coastal waters to oceans and shoulder the tasks
of safeguarding territory, development of national economy and overseas
interests," said Chen Mingyi, member the National Committee of the Chinese
People's Political Consultative Conference, or the top political advisory body.
Chen urged the country to invest more in the modernization of the navy and
improve the ability and level of warship building.
He also suggested the country enhance ocean exploration and exploitation as
it did in the space sector.
On Friday, Admiral Hu Yanlin, former political commissar of Navy of the
Chinese People's Liberation Army, said China should build its own aircraft
"There should be nothing to be afraid of as you can see China's major
neighbors all have had their own aircraft carriers," said Huon the sidelines of
the annual parliament session, in response to whether neighboring countries
would be worried about.

Olympia Kennels in New Hampshire
Have been researching breeders in New England area and spoken with a number of breeders (a couple of whom have been recommended by forum members).
Went to visit Olympia Kennels in New Hampshire a couple of weekends ago. Got to speak with the owners and meet a couple of their dogs, as well as watch some of the puppies from a prior breeding in an obedience class.
Thought I'd do a couple of bookend posts, one in this forum and one in the breedings and bloodlines forum to see if anyone has any information about this kennel and their dogs.
So has anyone had any dealing with Olympia or owned one of their dogs? Feel free to PM me if you would prefer not to post something on a public forum.
P.S. I'm primarily concerned with temperment, health, trainability, and drives. I would definitely plan to do some obedience with this pup, and am interested in potentially getting into SAR. Thanks.

We are having a baby, due November 21st, and with my health issues it's meaning that it's being really quite difficult to cope day to day and am therefore under consultant led care with lots of extra appointments to squeeze in on top of my full time job and the broken sleep lol, but I am thoroughly enjoying this journey despite all that! So hopefully this explains a lot, but do not hestitate to come on over to the Facebook page and join in the fun! I have plenty of ideas that I want to get a start on though 😉
There is an Anthem Facebook timeline header on the downloads page for downloading, which is found at my DeviantArt profile as well as my Flickr 🙂

I covered the image with sticky back plastic and then put glue on the glass tile
I pushed the image to get the air bubbles out and let it dry
Afterwards, you need to glue on the bail to the back of the tile
And your ornament is complete! Put some ribbon in the top to attach it to the tree, or thread some black chord on and wear it as a necklace!

It was growing dark and the air of the Ethiopian highlands was chill when the monk appeared. Stooped and leaning on a prayer stick he shuffled towards me from the doorway of the sanctuary chapel and listened attentively as I was introduced to him. Speaking in Tigrigna, the local language, he then sought clarification through my interpreter about my character and my motives: from which country had I come, what work did I do there, was I a Christian, what was it that I wanted from him?
Initiation: 1986
The monk looked at me in a way that I found strangely disconcerting and
then said: 'You must know that there is turmoil and civil war in the land...
Our government is evil, the people oppose it, and the fighting comes closer
every day. In such circumstances it is unlikely that the true Ark will be
used again in the ceremonies.
We cannot risk the possibility that any harm might come to something so precious ... Besides, even in time of peace you would not be able to see it. It is my responsibility to wrap it entirely in thick cloths before it is carried in the processions...'
Initiation: 1986 | A great mystery of the Bible | 1983: a country at war

Smith Pushes Program For Those Coping With 9/11 & Flight 587 Crash
Smith Pushes Program For Those
Coping With 9/11 & Flight 587 Crash
State Senator Malcolm A. Smith hosted a meeting last week at Peninsula Hospital Center to discuss services and programs that can assist relatives of the victims of the September 11 attacks and the Flight 587 disaster. New York State Office of Mental Health Commissioner James Stone provided a presentation on mental health services that are available to people who are still trying to cope with the tragedies.
The State Senator is working in conjunction with Project Liberty to offers these services. Project Liberty is a program that provides free counseling services to persons, families and groups most affected by the September 11 World Trade Center disaster. Sponsored by the Federal Emergency and Management Agency (FEMA) and the Center for Mental Health Services, Project Liberty is being administered by the New York State Office of Mental Health. It is a partnership between the Office of Mental Health, local governments and provider agencies.
Peninsula Hospital President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert Levine, attended the discussion, and Smith thanked him for the hospital's involvement with supporting efforts to provide mental health services to those still grieving.
Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer was also on hand to show support for the program, and the State Senator conveyed that Pheffer played a crucial role in helping to secure funding for the program.
"I clearly have a partner in Assemblywoman Audrey Pheffer. She has helped me to obtain support in a number of ways for the program," said Smith.
"This grant was urgently needed in Rockaway, and I want to thank those who were instrumental in helping us to obtain this funding," stated the Assemblywoman.
Commissioner Stone addressed members of the panel by saying there was a need for people to understand that they were not mentally ill as a result of the tragedies.
"Many people thought that because they were sad or depressed after the events, that something might be wrong with them. Most often they were, and still are, going through the grieving process, which is normal. However, we found that over time, there were people who required mental health services, and we provided it," said Stone.
"We did not provide formal mental health treatment initially. We evaluated each case, and those who had been adversely affected by the tragedies were tended to by trained professionals. Some of those services involved outreach programs."
Although a limited amount of funding has been made available, primarily to assist with Project Liberty's outreach efforts, Smith and Pheffer have submitted a proposal to Governor George Pataki requesting $1 million to broaden the scope of mental health services for Rockaway residents who are still dealing with the ramifications of 9-11 and Flight 587.
For more information on the program, you can call State Senator Smith's office at (718) 291-9097. You can contact Project Liberty at (1-888) 270-9857.

Two scruffy young men were going door to door in Charleston Gardens this evening about 8:00 PM offering to sell free cable installation for Comcast. One gave me the pitch while the other stood back and looked around at my house. They did not look like legitimate representatives of Comcast.
Town Square
Are they really selling free cable installations for Comcast?

I love music. I have a larger than average collection of it. The rapid growth of the internet with regard to music has opened my eyes to a wealth of thoughtful song writers who produce beautiful music. I think good music, "Christian" or "secular" is worth celebrating and consequently Jason and I recently launched Grace Notes: a weekly column exploring signs of common grace in the world of music. If we really believe that God created all things, then appreciating beauty is a Christian issue.I … [Read more...]

Tyner wins duel in 6A state 100
The Aloha sophomore beats Arthur Delaney and anchors 4 x 1 win
EUGENE - There wasn't much Aloha's boys track team didn't accomplish this year.
The Warriors, one of the Metro League favorites along with Sunset and Jesuit, took second in the regular season and second again at the district meet.
But Aloha entered last weekend's Class 6A state meet - held Friday and Saturday at Hayward Field - believing it could win it all.
The Warriors fell short in their pursuit of that lofty goal, but not by much. While Sunset won the boys team title with 58 points, the Warriors took fifth overall at 39 points and left proud of their efforts and successes.
And while Aloha didn't win the team crown it wanted so badly, the Warriors did make their mark at state in a very, very dramatic fashion. Aloha started Saturday's championship finals by winning the day's first running event - the 4 x 100-meter relay - in a state-meet record time of 41.45 seconds.
'I was pretty calm, relaxed, ready to go,' said junior Christian Wood, who ran the lead leg of the relay. 'I caught up with the guy next to me, so I was doing well.'
'I was confident,' said junior Sheldon Prince, who ran the second leg of the relay. 'We were ready.'
'It was good. There was a little bit of jitters, but we were ready to get the job done,' added junior Ryan Russo, who ran the third leg of the relay. 'It was good all the way.'
'They did a great job. I'm very proud of them,' added sophomore anchor Thomas Tyner. 'Before the race, I was a little nervous, but I told 'em just to treat it like a normal race and we did. My teammates all did a great job today.'
There was more excitement ahead for the Warriors too, especially in the 100 meters. There, Tyner avenged a 2010 loss to Barlow's Arthur Delaney, running to victory in a state-meet record time of 10.48 (Delaney was second at 10.62).
'It was a great learning experience last year. It pushed me this year to work harder and keep my form,' Tyner said. 'This was a big race for me. I knew I was going to have to push it in order to win and that's what I did.'
Tyner did tweak his hamstring after crossing the finish line, though, and later scratched from the 200.
Prince was solid too, taking fourth in the 100 at 11.02. He was later sixth in the 200 at 22.03.
'I didn't run as good as I thought I could, but fourth place is pretty good,' Prince said of his 100.
Other Aloha highlights included James Euscher's fourth-place finish in the shot put at 53 feet, 11.75 inches, and Alex Foote's eighth in the 3000 at 8:48.28.
Jesuit's boys were 21st overall, the Crusaders' efforts highlighted by Jordan Talley's fourth-place finish in the long jump at 22-1, Steven Raimondi's fifth in the 800 at 1:57.82, and Miles Weatheroy's seventh in the triple jump at 43-3.75.
Beaverton took 23rd in the team scoring and got two top-five finishes from Dan Oekerman. Oekerman ran to fourth place in Friday's 3000 with a time of 8:40.54, then came back to place fifth in Saturday's 1500 at 4:03.26.
And Westview finished 25th in the team race, getting a fourth-place finish from the 4 x 100 relay team of Dallin Leavitt, Gabe Krebs, Jordan Bacon and Matt Landon in 42.73, a seventh in the 100 from Krebs in 11.19, and an eighth in the high hurdles by Uche Uba at 15.11.

/// Gizmodo Boss Joe Brown Goes (Back) to Wired
Wired, the Conde Nast tech title, continues an overhaul that began last fall: Joe Brown, the top editor at Gawker Media's Gizmodo tech site, is joining up. Brown will be Wired's "New York editor", a new role that will have him weighing in on the brand's magazine, tablet edition and Web site. It's his second time at Wired, where he had previously worked as a deputy to then-gadget boss Mark McClusky. McClusky now runs the company's Web site, under new editor-in-chief Scott Dadich . Gawker Media owner Nick Denton hasn't named a replacement for Brown, who ran the site for the last two years; veteran Gizmodo editor Joel Johnson will lead a search for a new editor. "We're looking for someone with design background," Denton says. This one seems like an amicable Denton/editor break up. Here's Brown's take, delivered via IM (he's still a Gawker employee, after all): "I've had an amazing few years at Gizmodo—the team here is among the best in any business, and I love them like family. But I am pumped about going home to Wired. With Scott and the team he's put in place, it's like we're getting the band back together." And here's more from Denton, also via IM (because, see above): "Gizmodo began as the online embodiment of the Fetish section of Wired.And it's a good time to recover that central purpose: the cataloging of beautiful things

It's certainly a busy week for poker, with there being the WPT and EPT events over in Prague, the FTOPS XII online and this WPT Event here at the Bellagio in Las Vegas.
The second day at the World Poker Tour Five Diamond World Poker Classic at the Bellagio has now been settled, with just 176 of the original 503 starters in this event progressing to Day 3. The player who finished the day at the very summit of them all is Michael Mizrachi who has managed to acquire a total of 272,600.
He will certainly not have an easy time of it on Day 3 though as there is still some massive poker names in the field with chip stacks large enough to cause him trouble. There is still Frank Rusnak, Vanessa Selbst, Phil Galfond, Gavin Smith, Chino Rheem, Warwick Mirzikinian and Jason Somerville for him to navigate past before he can get his hands on that title, whilst there are still plenty of others too.
Players Who Hit The Rail!
There may be some names still left in the event, but there were many that went out too on Day 2. Marvin Rettenmaier, Maria Ho, Tommy Vedes, Sam Trickett, Ashton Griffin, Daniel Negreanu, Xuan Liu and Dee Dozier all busting out, some of them after rebuying into the event numerous times.
Day 3 saw the end of the re-entry at the end of the eighth level meaning that no more players could keep taking additional shots at the event. There were some players that have paid to re-enter as many as five or six times with some of them still failing here. On the flip side there were players that made their one shot count.
Day 3 will be starting at 12pm local time today, with five levels schedules to be played out. The blinds will start at 600/1,200 with an additional ante, whilst the bubble is expected to be burst with just 54 of the players set to be paid out to.
The Current Top 10!
Michael Mizrachi – 272,600
Frank Rusnak – 255,900
Arthur Morris – 242,000
Warwick Mirzikinian – 232,200
Ravi Raghavan – 211,300
Chino Rheem – 209,000
Joseph Elpayaa – 207,000
Vanessa Selbst – 202,000
Alex Phahurat – 198,600
David Belaich – 196,600
Check back with us tomorrow as we bring you another updated report on the action here at the Bellagio, with the action getting to the serious end of things, it would be a shame to miss out on who is making the moves up the event rankings.

@francoLocale: Tarptent
The Notch is coming….
This is a somewhat similar shelter to the SS1 (two poles,separate mesh inner,two doors and vestibules) but lighter and smaller.
On my backyard tests it looks like it will accommodate the taller hikers too.
(that is on a mock up because only Henry has had the real thing…)
More head and foot room than the Moment .
Originally it was called the X 1 because it is the Tarptent 10th anniversary shelter.
Happy 10th anniversary Henry!!!
Avaliable mid next month.
The "deal" here is that if you get in early you may get the chance to have one this year. The first run will be ready mid monthNov 20, 2011 at 4:17 pm #1803776

When you set this up, can you set it up with the inner tent already clipped in and kind of do it all at once or do you have to set up the fly then clip the inner tent underneath?Nov 21, 2011 at 6:58 am #1803975

Can anyone tell me how much the fly weighs on it's own?
Also can the shelter be pitched low to the ground for stormy and wet/windy conditions?
Great work. I don't need another shelter but I'm already wanting this!Nov 21, 2011 at 7:47 am #1803986
Tyler – yes you can. The outer fly pitches first keeping the inner completely dry!Nov 21, 2011 at 9:09 am #1804015

Thanks Henry.
Are there guy loops on top of the poles? Might be worthwhile.
Are the vents closable? One picture on the site seems to show that horizontal rain could enter. Maybe even mesh backing in the vent to catch wind driven rain?
I'm really liking the look of this.Nov 21, 2011 at 10:49 am #1804046
Yes, you got it. We'll get a setup video posted in two or three weeks but what you'll see is exactly as you describe.
-HNov 21, 2011 at 10:55 am #1804048
The fly with stakes and stuffsack is 17 ounces. The interior is 9 ounces.
Re: staking low to the ground, yes certainly lower than shown (with 45"/115cm poles). Dropping the poles down to 42" or so will put the fly edge down to within a couple inches of ground. The shelter also works by lowering one pole only if you need to lower just one edge.
-HNov 21, 2011 at 11:05 am #1804053
> Are there guy loops on top of the poles? Might be worthwhile.
Not directly but it's easy to tie off to the interior apex loops that connect the interior or just a loop over the top of your poles. Easy mod if you want us to add more direct loops.
> Are the vents closable? One picture on the site seems to show that horizontal rain could enter. Maybe even mesh backing in the vent to catch wind driven rain?
No but the vent covers come down pretty far–the photos are shot from below vent level. It would take true horizontal rain with splash up to get through. Easy mod if you want us to add a closure.Nov 21, 2011 at 11:08 am #1804056
Looking very tempting. :)

Halfway through the mammoth BCCI trial, the pressure is mounting on the Bank of England. Enough has already emerged at the High Court in London to suggest that former Bank governor Sir Robin Leigh-Pemberton and other pillars of the establishment may soon be squirming in the witness box.
So far the Bank's reputation has taken a pounding, with even the judge in the case characterising the actions of some officials as 'lying for England'.
Emotive language has not been in short supply, despite the complexities of the trial. Barristers have pored over more than 60,000 pages of documents relating to BCCI and its dramatic 1991 collapse, and the progress of the case has been stately at best.
Gordon Pollock QC, who acts for BCCI's victims, has just finished his opening address after 80 days in court, the longest in English legal history. Tomorrow, the Bank's QC, Nicholas Stadlen, will rise to his feet to embark upon an equally mountainous rebuttal. There may not be a final verdict until 2006.
But despite the apparent lack of urgency, much is at stake for the Bank. Not just the £1 billion of compensation that BCCI's victims are demanding for the Bank's failure as financial regulator to supervise BCCI; but also its reputation for fair dealing, since the victims allege that Threadneedle Street's negligence was deliberate.
Central to the case is their claim that Bank officials erred in granting BCCI a UK trading licence in 1980, and thereafter turned a blind eye to massive fraud at the Pakistani-Arab bank, rather than assume responsibility for their original mistake.
Despite growing evidence of criminal activity within BCCI, the victims allege, the Bank refused to take supervisory responsibility. This, say the victims, was a clear dereliction of duty, since Britain was obviously its 'principal place of business'. BCCI's primary regulator was the tax haven of Luxembourg, where it was officially headquartered; it had dozens of branches in Britain, however, and its de facto head office was in London's Leadenhall Street.
The Bank of England denies being wilfully negligent, and at this stage we still do not know what arguments it will use to defend itself. So far, though, many of the judge's observations have not gone its way. Regarding a 1982 memo in which one senior Bank official said that BCCI's Luxembourg registration had 'always been something of a fiction', Mr Justice Tomlinson remarked: 'If you put two and two together, he is saying the principal place of business has always been here.'
On another occasion, the judge said he had 'difficulty' with the Bank's argument that it believed BCCI could be properly supervised by the Luxembourg authorities. And he has derided as 'particularly lamentable' a suggestion from Leigh-Pemberton, then governor, 'that Luxembourg would have clung resolutely to the privilege of supervising BCCI'.
This suggestion was made to no less a person than the Chancellor, a year after BCCI's meltdown. And there is another memo that is likely to embarrass the former governor: minutes of another meeting with the Chancellor, a whole year before the collapse, in which BCCI was mentioned. Leigh-Pemberton told John Major that 'in many ways ... the BCCI seemed efficient and it had proved remarkably successful'.
This is an astonishing episode, because in fact the Bank had already learned from auditors Price Waterhouse that there was a huge black hole in BCCI's accounts.
There is no suggestion that Leigh-Pemberton was trying to mislead the Chancellor; on the contrary, the claimants say he didn't know about BCCI's problems himself, having been kept in the dark by his own staff. But this scenario, if proven, is itself obviously damaging to the Bank.
Meanwhile, Mr Justice Tomlinson has expressed apparent disapproval at Threadneedle Street's continued inaction when it received the 1990 tip-off from Price Waterhouse. 'Once you begin to get evidence like this, it is blindingly obvious you are not dealing with a conventional bank any more,' he observed during the proceedings. 'The game is up, really, is it not, when you see this lot?'
Stadlen now has a week to put the key points of the Bank of England's defence before the trial adjourns for the summer. Whether he can turn the embarrassing evidence of the last six months on its head remains to be seen.
Nightmare on Threadneedle Street
When Bank of Credit and Commerce International crashed in June 1991 with £7 billion of undeclared debts, thousands of depositors and other creditors were left out of pocket. BCCI had offices in 70 countries and 14,000 employees by the time it collapsed, and its victims ranged from East End market traders to the state of Abu Dhabi, which is thought to have lost £2bn.
BCCI was run in practice from London, and the victims claim that the Bank of England, which was City regulator at the time, turned a blind eye to fraud at BCCI for more than a decade. They have accused the Bank of negligence amounting to 'misfeasance in public office'. If successful, their lawsuit would remove the Bank's statutory immunity against being sued.
The victims' claim has been more than a decade in the making, and focuses on the work of 22 senior and middle-ranking Bank officials. Their actions, it is alleged, recklessly put BCCI's depositors at risk.
Although the Bank's best-known figures are not among those personally accused of negligence, some are expected to face a grilling in the witness box. These include Sir Robin Leigh-Pemberton (now Lord Kingsdown), governor of the Bank when BCCI collapsed; his successor Sir Eddie George, who was deputy governor at the time; and Brian Quinn, then a senior banking supervisor and now chairman of Celtic Football Club.
In 1992, Lord Bingham's official inquiry into the BCCI debacle castigated the Bank for its supervisory failures. Bingham's sentiments were forcefully echoed by a US Senate inquiry. Depositors have since, through various legal actions, recovered about three-quarters of what they lost. Their claim against the Bank of England - for up to £1bn - represents the final stage of what they see as their fight for redress.
For its part, the Bank denies deliberate negligence and has vowed to fight the case to the end. Sources close to Threadneedle Street have accused Deloitte and Touche, the BCCI liquidator leading the legal action, of opportunism, suggesting it is recklessly spending creditors' money to fight a flimsy claim. There have also been plaintive noises about how much the case is costing the public, with the Bank's legal bills topping £20 million so far.
For all the money spent, however, this enormous case is proving difficult to manage. Earlier this month, the Bank's QC, Nicholas Stadlen, asked the court for more time to prepare his address. After all, he told the judge, this was one of the longest pieces of litigation in history.
All Stadlen got, however, was a tart reply: 'The history student would find surprising the notion that the defendants were not ready to start.'

Way back when he was considered by many to be something that rhymes with but is much more complimentary than the zero he is now, Lance Armstrong (well, I guess mostly Sally Jenkins, really), wrote a story in his first autobiography, "It's not about the bike," of a time when he sent his training data to his coach. His coach was confused, because there were two sets of data. He called Lance to tell him there was something wrong with the data. Lance replied that there was nothing wrong; he wasn't happy with the first result, so he went and did the workout again.
Putting the doping aside for a moment, hard though it is, a story like that resonates with me. It shows the mindset of an athlete who isn't satisfied with good-enough. I find that I'm able, in spite of everything we know now about Lance, to apply a story like that in my own experience.
And when I finished the Maryland Olympic Duathlon last month with a less-than satisfactory result (including a wipe-out during a too-fast dismount from the bike) that was eight minutes slower than my time last year, my first thought was that I wanted to do it again.
First, of course, my coach and I had a chat about possible causes. Lack of sleep (I confess to going to bed way too late most nights the week before the race) to the point that I almost fell asleep while driving the hour and 15 minutes to the race venue at 4 in the morning, work stress, and general fatigue were, we decided, the probable causes. Discussing my flying barefoot dismount, coach suggested that, because it was on a downhill, I might be better off keeping my bike shoes on and just coming to a regular stop.
So with some training adjustments and a lot more sleep, I hoped I'd have a much better result at the Maryland Women's Sprint Duathlon, a shorter version of the Olympic, with the same 2 mile 1st leg, but just one 13-mile bike loop followed by another 2 mile run, instead of the 4 mile run at the Olympic.
Of course, things are never quite that easy. I must have been about five miles from the race site when it started pouring, hard. And by the time I got to Western Regional Park in Woodbine, MD, it was evident it had been raining for a while. Huge puddles everywhere. Not good conditions for a fast bike. I checked in and then waited out the rain in the car, as the radar said it should pass. At 6:30 (race start was 7) I took my bike over to T1. As with the Olympic Du, elites were treated to the fantastic T-BLOCKS transition blocks, instead of the racks for the rest of the field. These blocks are custom-made, featuring inserts that make them work for any size tire. Below is a video of me in T2 (moving a bit slowly having just wiped out on my dismount) using T-BLOCKS at the Olympic Du:
The rain stopped while I was setting up my bike. For some reason I couldn't get my bike to sit upright in the blocks, and spent some time fiddling to stop it from leaning. This was precious time I didn't have. Usually I set up so early I have tons of time, and I just wasn't thinking. I dried off my bike one last time and left transition as we were being told to get out. I still hadn't done my warm up. During the warm-up I realized I hadn't lubed my shoes, and my vaseline was in transition. Too late now. I was also not wearing my sunglasses, which was one more thing I had to put on in T1. I really did not have my head in the game.
Soon enough the gun went off and I just tried to hang with the other elite women. We went through the first mile in about 6 minutes (there's a lot of downhill) but I knew mile 2 would be slower as it has more uphill. I allowed a gap to open up as I couldn't hold the pace, but wasn't far behind as we entered T2. But when I got into T2 I realized I was so out of breath, it was hard to do anything. Unlike when I exit the swim, coming off a run is much more exhausting. I also had to put my bike shoes on as I'd decided it would be easier with the uphill start, as I'd had some trouble with that in the Olympic. Then I remembered that I hate running in bike shoes. I was OK on the grass, but on the road I was slipping everywhere. I would much rather have been barefoot.
The bike is 13 miles of relentless hills. My plan was to go as hard as I could. Trouble was, it was very wet, which slowed me down, and also forced me to be more careful on the turns. Whenever I could, I opened it up and pushed the pace as hard as I could. My split wasn't anywhere near what I wanted, despite working as hard as I could. In fact, my pace was slower than for twice the distance in last month's Olympic…Coming into the dismount I saw the 2nd place elite female heading out on the run. I got in and out of T2 as fast as possible and headed out. My legs actually felt OK and I was averaging 6:30 for the first mile, but of course the uphill was in mile 2. At the turn I saw that the first female of the age-group athletes, who had started a minute after us, was not far behind me. I really didn't want her to pass me so I pushed up the hill as fast as I could. I tried to increase my cadence and maximize the downhills, and crank up the uphills. It was a huge relief to see the finish line in sight, although the time on the clock was several minutes slower than my goal. I placed 3rd overall and got a nice trophy, polar heart rate monitor, and pint glass. Thanks, Rip it Events!
While I'm glad I raced this course again, I feel it's become a bit of a nemesis for me. My first time racing here, I had such a good race, and I feel I am now chasing that. I vowed not to race Ironman Raleigh 70.3 again because I knew I'd be chasing the great race I had there last year. Perhaps I need to stop chasing this one.
I have less than four weeks to the ITU World Championships. Time to get my head in the game!

May 6, 2009
PITTSBURGH — The University of Pittsburgh baseball team came up just short against Duquesne University in the annual city-series game held at PNC Park here in Pittsburgh, Pa. The Panthers fell behind early and were unable to overcome a strong performance from the Dukes' Andrew Heck in a 5-2 loss.
Duquesne (11-37, 5-15 Atlantic 10) jumped out to a 3-0 lead after two innings of play. Matt Carson scored on a Rick Devereaux ground to third in the first while Derrik Zeroski's sacrifice fly and Carson's RBI single gave the Dukes two in the second.
The Panthers (25-16, 10-10 Big East) closed the gap to 3-1 in the third after Chris Tonte led the inning off with a double down the left field line and Morgan Kielty drove him in with a single to left.
Matt Iannazzo (2-3) calmed down after a shaky first two innings, not allowing a hit in his final four innings while striking out nine Dukes batters.
Heck kept the Pitt offense in check over the final six innings, allowing just four hits while striking our four Panther batters.
After Duquesne platted two more in the top of the eighth to extend its lead to 5-1, Chris Sedon smashed third home run in four games and 16th overall, bringing the score to 5-2.
Heck retired the ninth in order for his second win of the season and handed the Panthers their first non-conference loss since March 13.
Pitt will be back in action this weekend, returning to Big East Conference play with a three-game set at Connecticut. First pitch for Friday's game is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. in Norwich, Conn.

Sailfish Softball Adds Four More Players for the 2011 Season
June 30, 2010
Written By: Michael Brown, PBA Sports Information Director
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla.- Left with the responsibility of replacing five seniors from her 2010 squad, Palm Beach Atlantic University head softball coach Kimmy Bloemers continues to stockpile talented players with the addition of four more potential standouts during the spring signing period. The four players will report to PBA in the fall as Lauren Bubeck and Brittany Jones have previously both played at nearby Palm Beach State College while Kimberly Traxler will transfer from St. Johns River Community College. Kayla Lanktree will suit up for the Fish after attending Holy Trinity High School.
Recently removed from the best season in school history, the Sailfish softball squad will welcome in a host of new players itching to repeat the success of the 2010 season. To date, Bloemers has signed eight players for the 2010-2011 roster. The four previously mentioned will join the likes of Camille Benito, Mackenzie Johnson, Brianna Parker, and Lauren Powell who all signed the National Letter of Intent (NLI) during the early signing period last fall.
Having played this past season together at Palm Beach State College, both Bubeck and Jones come not only as experienced college players but ones with great talent.
Lauren Bubeck
A native of Tequesta, Florida, Bubeck performed as a right-handed pitcher and first-baseman for PBSC head coach Martha McCall this past season. Bubeck spent the 2009 season as a pitcher at Francis Marion University, a NCAA Division II school and a member of the Peach belt Conference, where she earned All-Conference 2nd-Team honors.
Before attending Francis Marion, Bubeck was a standout at South Fork High School under coaches Joe Sanchez and Bob Bubeck. An All-Conference and All-Area 1st-Team selection, Bubeck received her highest honor of All-State 3rd-Team following her senior campaign while being recognized as All-Area by the Stuart News and Palm Beach Post.
"I am thrilled to bring in Lauren to the PBA softball program to be a leader in the pitching circle. She will help us win games not only on her great defense but offense too. She has a competitive drive that will elevate her teammates both on and off the field," said Bloemers.
Lauren is the daughter of Bob and Donna Bubeck with three siblings, Wes, Jacquelyn, and Lindsay.
Brittany Jones
A talented and versatile outfielder, Jones should make her presence known wearing the Blue and White next season after a solid two-year career with PBSC. A two-time All-Conference selection as a member of the Panthers, Jones is another local product after a strong high school career with Santaluces High School where she earned All-Conference accolades as well.
A dean's list recipient while at PBSC, Jones appears to be a good fit for PBA and its softball program.
"It excites me to continue to keep the community close and bring in more local talent. Brittany loves the game of softball and it shows when you watch her play. I am anxious to have her part of our program. I believe her next two years on the diamond will be her best," said Bloemers.
Brittany is the daughter of Scott and Jennie Jones with one sibling, Robbie.
Kimberly Traxler
Traxler is a player blessed with speed and to go along with solid offensive and defensive skills for her future years playing for the Fish. A two-time All-Conference selection at SJRCC with the 2010 campaign landing Traxler on the 2nd-Team, she was also named the SJRCC Female Athlete of the Year.
Before joining the St. Johns River team the past two seasons, Traxler was a standout at Interlachen High School in Palatka, Florida where she played under the likes of coaches Ron Whitehurst and Brent Coates. At IHS, Traxler was a multi-sport star while earning All-County accolades all four years in both softball and soccer. Back on the diamond, Traxler was also named to the All-State 2nd Team during her high school career.
Not only committed to athletics, Traxler has also been steady in the classroom as she graduated with high honors from IHS while being named to the Wendy's High School Heisman list as a Scholar Athlete on two separate occasions.
"Kim is a perfect fit for our program. She has great speed and athleticism and will highly contribute to the 2011 and 2012 seasons. It will be awesome to see her talent with a Sailfish uniform, " said Bloemers.
Kimberly is the daughter of John and Jackie Traxler with one sibling, Brandi.
Kayla Lanktree
With the ability to potentially play a number of different positions, Lanktree appears to be a great fit for the PBA softball program. Although her main position would look to be behind the plate, Coach Bloemers feels that Lanktree could make an impact in a number of different spots on the diamond.
"Kayla is a hard worker and will definitely bring some positive spirit and enthusiasm to our program. With the transition from high school to college, Kayla will be able to gain the knowledge of the game in the fall to prepare for this competitive level. I am anxious to see Kayla's contribution throughout her career," said Bloemers.
A native of Merritt Island, Florida, Lanktree competed at Holy Trinity in 2010 while earning accolades on and off the field. During her high school career, Lanktree was a part of a pair of state championship teams while also earning All-Conference recognition as well. In the classroom, Lanktree was a high honors student that was a two-time Academic All-Conference selection while also bringing home the ASCI Distinguished Christian High School Award in Fine Arts as a junior.
With plans to major in the Palm Beach Atlantic Pharmacy program, the Sailfish coaching staff believes they are bringing in a very well-rounded student-athlete.
Kayla is the daughter of John and Kimberly Fink with five siblings, Alyssa, William, Chase, Madison, and Tiffany.
After an extraordinary 2010 campaign and a strong core group of players returning for 2011, the Sailfish hope that these new players will once again mold with the returners to form a great team on the diamond next season.

Many seasoned vets resent the fast-rising up-and-comers
Sometimes, all it takes is a new idea to stir up some old, deep-seated resentment.
That was the case when blogger Steve Kelman wrote about a new acquisition workforce mentoring program at the FBI. As Kelman explained, the bureau has a number of new acquisition employees coming in and not a lot of senior staff who are in a position — or willing — to teach them the ropes.
So Deborah Broderick, the bureau's senior procurement executive, has decided to tap the expertise of former government contracting officials who are now on staff at a federally funded research and development center. One advantage is that FFRDC staff members offload mentoring work from employees who already feel overwhelmed.
Another is that these mentors-for-hire can introduce the acquisition newbies to new procurement practices — practices that in-house acquisition staff members do not know or actively resist.
This thinking did not sit well with some FCW.com readers, who are not impressed with the incoming staff. But their responses were seen by other readers as both unnecessarily hostile and very telling.
(Editor's note: Comments have been edited for length, clarity and style.)
Oh Those Newbies
One of the points that seems to be left out of the above scenario is these young acquisition professionals, these newbies, are being brought via mid to high level and are being promoted too quickly in order to keep them. I have witnessed two occasions in which newly graduated interns were promoted beyond the seasoned specialists. The seasoned specialists have more than 20 years of experience, were raised in the field from the ground up, but lack college degrees and so they are not promotable. And these are the people being tasked to mentor the newbies. The newbies are frequently arrogant or think they have a better way. I have even heard one say, "Why should I listen, for by this time next year I will be your boss." So from an operational standpoint, I hope they keep the contractors training them until we can retire, and I also pray that retirement comes before they become our boss.
— Anonymous
Please do not confuse people who are trying to learn and evolve with added energy as arrogant. Instead of hoping to keep contractors training them until you retire, spend some time focusing your energy on developing the new employees in your office, passing on the knowledge and experience you have in order to create a better workforce. Although I'm sure some arrogance does exist, that is not the norm and should not erase out the others that are eager to learn. Thanks.
— James M
Step Up
It is humorous to me that even as we tell close-to-retirement government contracting personnel how they are portrayed, they actually comment via this blog and verify/perpetuate this viewpoint. Quit counting down the days, and support the young folks coming up in this career. If you find a rotten apple of a young employee, try to guide them. I have six years in contracting experience and would have died for a proactive mentor to help guide my understanding of this career field. Mentors are a must, and with the demographics as they are — baby boomer retirement — we will fail without them. Knowledge management can only do so much; it's the personal relationships that build the next generation. There are so many people about to retire with knowledge that seemingly don't care. Step up to the plate.
The Last Word
In my experience, successful contracting officers share common traits that have little to do with their years on the job. One of my most valuable employees is a 30-year veteran without a degree who earned a reputation as a subject-matter expert who reliably provides solid advice in the best interest of the bureau. She diligently works at her craft, listens, is willing to learn and actively pursues new methods. She volunteers in a crisis without being asked, doesn't point fingers when the unexpected happens but instead gets to work to accomplish the mission. I'm blessed to have many COs that meet this description, both new hires and veterans.
Unfortunately, I also have a number of COs that are stuck in the past. They prefer tested methods despite evidence that new approaches yield contract savings or improved contractor performance. Being faced with the perfect storm, increasing budgets, retiring staff, untrained new hires and new approaches to learn, the nonpuritanical FFRDC has done a fabulous job of filling this need.

The appropriators supporting an IT modernization bill are urging a key authorizing committee to vote up the bill and send it to the Senate floor.
The architect of the Managing Government Technology Act is happy with the administration's request for a central IT modernization fund, but he thinks the real action will take place at the agency level.
President Donald Trump's budget proposal identifies almost $150 billion in savings over 10 years by slashing federal employee benefits, but feds and their unions are crying foul.
As expected, the proposed federal budget contains $228 million for a general fund for IT modernization projects.
The Modernizing Government Technology Act passed the House of Representatives on a voice vote, but the Senate outlook is less certain.
The revised IT modernization bill will cost $500 million to implement, according to the Congressional Budget Office.
Mentoring younger professionals is a valuable exercise which helps them more rapidly acclimate to organizations, processes and career responsibilities. If more seasoned workers don't have the time due to band-width issues or refuse to mentor, other groups such as NCMA or those hired to perform the specific service will have to step in and fill the void. Older professionals should remember that younger professional may be arrogant, excited, impetuous or visionary - remember - they are young and in a shortage profession - patience, not rejection, is needed. They may in fact be your boss in a couple of years - better make sure they know how to do the job now because it will be too late down the road.

Adaptogenic Herbs: Nature's Solution To Stress
Nutrition Science News
The American Academy of Family Physicians in Kansas City, Mo., estimates that approximately two-thirds of all office visits are for stress-related complaints. Yet stress itself is not an illness; it is simply a fact of lifeand always has been. The stressors have changed over the years, but human physiology has remained the same.
Adapting To Long-Term Stress
Nutrition Science News
When faced with a stressful situation, the human body instinctively responds by secreting hormones that change physiology and enhance the organism's ability to either run away or stand and defend. The response includes stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system and the adrenal glands, and it results in higher heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing rate as well as increased blood-sugar levels. It's the body's way of gearing up for unexpected situations.
Stress: The Hidden Factor For Weight Gain
Nutrition Science News ~ April 2001
Stress can affect virtually any part of the body and produce physical, mental and emotional symptoms including allergies, dizziness, headache, heart palpitations, environmental sensitivity, impaired coordination, impaired immunity and weight gain. Weight gain is often associated with emotional eating and the too-busy-to-exercise lifestyles of people under chronic stress. But researchers are finding that changes in the body triggered by stress, such as elevated cortisol levels, can cause insulin resistance and weight gain.
Ashwagandha Research
A Comparison of the Immunostimulatory Effects of the Medicinal Herbs
Echinacea, Ashwagandha and Brahmi
J Ethnopharmacol. 2011 (Sep 1); 137 (1): 231235
Herbal remedies based on Echinacea, Brahmi, or Ashwagandha can enhance immune function by increasing immunoglobulin production. Furthermore, these herbal medicines might regulate antibody production by augmenting both Th1 and Th2 cytokine production.
In Vivo Effects of Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Extract on the Activation of Lymphocytes
J Alternative and Complementary Medicine 2009 (Apr); 15 (4): 423430
Five (5) participants consumed 6mL of an Ashwagandha root extract twice daily for 96 hours. Significant increases were observed in the expression of CD4 on CD3+ T cells after 96 hours. CD56+ NK cells were also activated after 96 hours as evidenced by expression of the CD69 receptor. At 96 hours of use, mean values of receptor expression for all measured receptor types were increased over baseline, indicating that a major change in immune cell activation occurred across the sample.
Ancient Medicine, Modern Use:
Withania somnifera and its Potential Role in Integrative Oncology
Alternative Medicine Review 2006 (Dec); 11 (4): 269277 ~ FULL TEXT
Withania somnifera Dunal, commonly known as ashwagandha, has been used for centuries in Ayurvedic medicine to increase longevity and vitality. Western research supports its polypharmaceutical use, confirming antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune-modulating, and antistress properties in the whole plant extract and several separate constituents. This article reviews the literature pertaining to Withania somnifera and its botanical constituents as antitumor agents and in conjunction with radiation and chemotherapy treatment.
Withania somnifera (Ashwagandha) Monograph
Alternative Medicine Review 2004 (Jun); 9 (2): 211214 ~ FULL TEXT
Withania somnifera, also known as ashwagandha, Indian ginseng, or winter cherry, has been an important herb in the Ayurvedic and indigenous medical systems for over 3000 years. Clinical trials and animal research support the use of ashwaganda for anxiety, cognitive and neurological disorders, inflammation, and Parkinson's disease. Ashwaganda is also used therapeutically as an adaptogen for patients with nervous exhaustion, insomnia, and debility due to stress, and as an immune stimulant in patients with low white blood cell counts.
Adaptogenic Activity of Withania somnifera:
An Experimental Study Using a Rat Model of Chronic Stress
Pharmacol Biochem Behav 2003 (Jun); 75 (3): 547555
Withania somnifera (WS) Dunal is classified in Ayurveda, the ancient Hindu system of medicine, as a rasayana, a group of plant-derived drugs reputed to promote physical and mental health, augment resistance of the body against disease and diverse adverse environmental factors, revitalise the body in debilitated conditions and increase longevity. The results (of this study) indicate that WS, like PG, has significant antistress adaptogenic activity, confirming the clinical use of the plant in Ayurveda.
Nootropic-like Effect of Ashwagandha
(Withania somnifera L.) in Mice
Phytother Res 2001 (Sep); 15 (6): 524528
On the elevated plus-maze, ashwagandha reversed the scopolamine (0.3 mg/kg)-induced delay in transfer latency on day 1. On the basis of these findings, it is suggested that ashwagandha exhibits a nootropic-like (memory protective/enhancing) effect in naive and amnesic mice.
Scientific Basis for the Therapeutic Use of Withania somnifera
(Ashwagandha): A Review
Alternative Medicine Review 2000 (Aug); 5 (4): 334346 ~ FULL TEXT
Studies indicate ashwagandha possesses anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antistress, antioxidant, immunomodulatory, hemopoietic, and rejuvenating properties. It also appears to exert a positive influence on the endocrine, cardiopulmonary, and central nervous systems. The mechanisms of action for these properties are not fully understood. Toxicity studies reveal that ashwagandha appears to be a safe compound.
Antistressor Effect of Withania somnifera
J Ethnopharmacol 1999 (Jan); 64 (1): 9193
Withania somnifera is an Indian medicinal plant used widely in the treatment of many clinical conditions in India. Its antistressor properties have been investigated in this study using adult Wistar strain albino rats and cold water swimming stress test. The results indicate that the drug treated animals show better stress tolerance.

I had a PM asking about the "wetland impact" issue. Here's my response:
This is an 'unregulated' wetland (less than 5 acres, no flowing water, and not on the Critical Wetlands Inventory) that is located on private property. We used it with written permission of the land owner and the blessing of the local CO. It's an area that has been impacted by use for many, many decades - so our use wasn't anything 'new' to it. The damage was already done many years ago. If the previously mentioned steps hadn't all been taken, it would certainly be illegal. Since I took the time as trail leader to make sure to gain the written permission AND check with the local CO, there wasn't an issue. I don't think that would have been true had I not crossed the T's and dotted the I's.
(Actually, I'd always heard that it was a hole where sceptic trucks used to dump their loads 'back in the day', lol)
Think about it like the Drummond Island ORV Route where we can now experience water and mud under the same conditions thanks to the hard work of the Drummond Island Off Road Club, Jeep Jamboree and Great Lakes Four Wheel Drive Association. The wet areas of the ORV Route that were approved was because they met all the same criteria: unregulated wetlands of less than 5 acres, no flowing water, not on the Critical Wetlands Inventory, had seen this type of impact for many, many years already and was approved for use by the Department.
While this particular place hasn't been approved for use by the entire Department, it is well known to the local CO who gave me his blessing for this event as long as we stayed out of the unimpacted area of it (which we did). This is NOT a place that is normally open for use. Permission was granted for this very special event.

No wonder your question sounded familiar. There was a thread about
this topic two months ago:
I would add:
1. If there is censoring, the standard assumption is that censorship
within the interview is unrelated to outcome. This assumption appears
to be shaky foryour data: Some losses to followup might have occurred
because subjects moved to accept employment. One might guess that this
is more likely if the new employment was open-ended.
2. If there is much censoring, you can make the analysis completely
transparent by adding a fourth outcome of "unknown" to the list and do
the multiple logistic analysis.
1. Unemployed
2. Fixed-term
3. Open-ended
4. Unknown (no interview)
Now, when you are considering the probabilities of a final status, you
can run a sensitivity analysis. Allocate those in the unknown status
to one of the other three. This approach would also allow you to
examine predictors of missingness, even if these did not distinguish
among the first three statuses.
3. You can analyze employment status at each interview separately.
This will allow you to incorporate information on people who missed
earlier interviews and will give you some extra information.
4. You should check the sequence of reported employment status.
Changes between interviews might give you some insight about changes
within intervals. You do this by tabulating status at interview K
against status at interview J. You will need to put data in "wide"
format to do this. See -reshape-.

Musings at the mid-week:
— No one who follows Colorado is too interested in making comparisons to the times in 2005 and '06 when Kansas started Big 12 play 0-4 under Mark Mangino.
See Also
— Each season the Jayhawks rebounded to become bowl-eligible, though a bowl didn't come calling in '06.
— The heat under Dan Hawkins cannot be extinguished. He's lost twice as many games at CU as he's won (19-38), including 15 straight defeats on the road.
— The Boulder Camera reports Colorado may have saved money by not firing Hawkins after the 2009 season.
— His $1.3 million annual compensation is more in line with Pac-10 salaries. In the Big 12 it ranks 11th. Colorado may have had to pony up had it hired a new coach using the Big 12 scale.
— The visit Saturday from Texas is the last home game for Kansas State. The Wildcats will try to avoid a winless stretch in conference home games, something that last happened in 1989, Bill Snyder's first season as coach.
— Maybe it was just me, but Daniel Thomas, who rushed, passed or threw on 49.3 percent of K-State's snaps against Oklahoma State, looked a bit weary.
— He did have a bit more giddy-up in the Wildcat formation.
— K-State must win out in Big 12 play to finish with a winning conference record. This from K-State sports info: The last time the Wildcat football and basketball teams finished above .500 in league play in the same year was 1925-26.
— No need to say, "Sorry, Charlie," back then. Charles Bachman coached football and Charles Corsaut coached basketball.
— Former Wildcat Brandon Banks is so small he looked like a treat-or-tricker making a fast break with his candy Sunday on a touchdown return for the Washington Redskins.
— Interesting to hear Raheem Morris claim his Tampa Bay Buccaneers are the best team in the NFC.
— He can point to a 5-2 record as proof, though perhaps we're learning why Ron Prince didn't allow Morris, nor any of his K-State assistants, to speak to the media.
— Why Snyder opted to copy a rule imposed by Prince is uncertain.
— Any speculation about the use of Mangino as a consultant should apply to NFL teams. They should tap into the former KU coach on how to rattle Bucs quarterback Josh Freeman.
— Kinda cool to hear Mays, McCovey and Marichal come up when the old San Francisco Giants are mentioned.
— They played on some good teams but in those days a league pennant was claimed in the regular season. Koufax's Dodgers and Gibson's Cardinals were mighty good, too.
— A batsman who could slap it around the yard off those Giants teams was Matty Alou.
— Yeah, I'm old. But all my copper fillings have been removed, in case any thieves are wondering.
— Not sure who could have been plotting anything so dastardly before a basketball exhibition, but I walked into Allen Fieldhouse on Tuesday with two referees, who were then escorted by four security officers.
— Nebraska is my darkhorse to make noise in basketball. Crack goes the limb.
— A commendation was passed along by Ray Evans, the chair of KU's selection committee to pick a new athletic director. Drawing praise was interim AD Sean Lester for his handling of the transition. I'll second that.
— Anything Dakota comes in pairs, except for the spelling. Washburn linebacker Dakota Palin-Johnson was defensive player of the week in the MIAA. Ottawa's Dakotah Gettler received the same honor in the KCAC.
— By the numbers: 22 — Team statistical categories in Big 12 football, out of 32, in which Kansas or Colorado rank 11th or 12th.
