Socceroo relief in Parma victory

Socceroo midfielders Marco Bresciano and Vince Grella found relief from a gloomy season as their club, Parma, sneaked into the knockout stages of UEFA Cup with a 3-2 win over Turkish side Besiktas.
Bresciano did not play, but Grella came off the bench at half-time to help his side increase its 2-1 half-time lead to 3-1, then survive some anxious late moments after the Turks scored with two minutes left.
Thanks to Athletic Bilbao, which smashed Belgian side Standard Liege 7-1 in Liege, Parma qualified for the second phase of the competition in third place in its group.
Parma has plunged into a relegation battle, falling to second-last place in Italy's top division.
Former Melbourne Knights goalkeeper Joey Didulica did not play for Austria Vienna in that club's 2-1 win over Dutch team Utrecht.
But he will be aiming to get back his position in the starting line-up now that the Viennese side has also qualified for the next phase of the competition after finishing runner-up in its group to Spanish team Real Zaragoza.
Former South Melbourne defender Paddy Kisnorbo was left to lament what might have been after his Hearts team surprisingly lost 1-0 at home to Hungarian team Ferencvaros. The loss means the Scottish side is out of the competition.
Australian internationals generally have fared well in this competition, with Basle (for whom Scott Chipperfield and Mile Sterjovski play) going through from Hearts' group after a 1-0 win over Dutch side Feyenoord.
Australian goalkeeper Mark Bosnich is considering a comeback with Walsall.
Bosnich has been out for two years after being sacked by Chelsea and banned by the English Football Association for nine months after failing a drug test.
But the 32-year-old may return to training with Paul Merson's division one side.
Merson has battled against addictions to drink and gambling and offered Bosnich a way back.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, meanwhile, has been fined $38,000 by the Football Association for calling Manchester United striker Ruud van Nistelrooy a cheat.
A disciplinary panel found the Frenchman guilty of improper conduct after his team's 2-0 loss to United in a Premier League game on October 24.
"We all know him, he can only cheat people," Wenger said of Van Nistelrooy in a post-match television interview.

A ruling from the Attorney General reiterated a recently passed law prohibiting the state or local districts from using Common Core standards. What are your thoughts on the ruling? Do you believe Texas should participate in the Common Core?
Irma Myers Donihoo, Plano: I believe that as with anything President Obama and his administration has offered to better our nation, GOP officials in Texas will be against it. Examples are health care, the EPA standards and education. Even if Common Core was the best educational experience in the world and would guarantee each child to succeed on a national and international stage, Texas would be against it.
Yes, I think our nation should have a national standard, and each child in each city should be taught the same basics.
Maury Marcus, Plano: Texas probably should participate. The requirements are not onerous. Most of the coursework is what our schools are already doing. Requiring X units of math and Y units of science is a basically good idea.
However, I have some concerns about how this concept came about. The Gates Foundation sold it to a lot of state legislators of both parties and to educational administrators in an organized effort. This was no conspiracy. It was open and clear for all to see. But, is it good for a republic to have policy so strongly influenced by the activism of one billionaire? I think not.
It matters not whether the one billionaire is a lefty like George Soros, a righty like Charles Koch or David Koch, a single-issue obsessive like Sheldon Adelson or a generic do-gooder like Warren Buffet or Bill Gates. No one person should have such sway over the policy-making apparatus of a democratic republic.
Ted Gold, Plano: It sounds to me that Common Core is a minimal standard of information that students are expected to learn. So, no, I do not think that Texas should participate in the program. Texas should hold itself out to be better than minimally ordinary. We should be setting goals and standards of education to be better than these minimum objectives of educators in other states. Teach more, expect more and deliver more. That's Texas Tradition.
Wanda Meyers, Plano: From everything I've read and heard about Common Core, I commend Texas for passing on this. When the politicians get involved and it becomes too political, it will not work.
Adam Ruef, Plano: The federal government has no legitimate role in primary education and should not be in the business of dictating testing standards to the states. I'm very glad Texas has opted out of what will go down as another failed effort to improve something. It will only to make matters worse at great taxpayer expense. From what I've seen of Common Core, it is like so many other abandoned reinventions of education techniques that only add complexity and opacity where none is called for. The sooner it goes away entirely, the better.
Pat Patterson, Plano: Well, it's hard to see how we'd have time to adopt Common Core, what with all the thinly disguised creationism and reprogramming on the "War of Northern Aggression" that the geniuses on the state board of education want our kids learning.
Olan Knight, Murphy: The Common Core curriculum is laced with politically correct idiocy and relegates traditional American values to the back of the class. I'm pleased the attorney general dumped this overwrought, useless drivel from our classrooms.
Jerry Frankel, Plano: Regardless of the validity of the Common Core approach, public education in Texas and the nation is falling behind the performance levels of other developed nations. It's not a matter of spending more. There are proven remedies.
The teaching profession needs compensation that will attract bright, capable educators rather than budgeting for expensive athletic activities and facilities. Students from low-income neighborhoods need to integrate with students from middle-income locals. Mentoring in small groups needs to be in place for those students who are not performing at grade level. Work-study programs are incredibly successful. Low-income districts need adequate state funding to compensate for insufficient property tax revenue, and every student in every district should be evaluated yearly by a standardized national exam with the purpose of measuring and improving individual, district, state and national educational performance. The nation's future rests on the education of our youth. The riches of Wall Street are valueless compared to the value of a top-notch education.
William Hill, Plano: As usual, our present attorney general gives out rulings that his buddies (money givers) tell him how to rule on, and this guy wants to be governor of Texas. He doesn't even care about the law the way it should be used. When Gov. Good Hair tells him to jump, up he goes.
Don Proeschel, Plano: Let's not lose sight that our primary concern must be for the best education of our young Texans. How this is accomplished is secondary. I believe that curriculum decisions are best decided at the state and local levels. If the federal government wants to suggest curriculum content as an input to this decision process, that is not terrible as long as it is not coercive. We really don't need federal input, because Texas has done an overall commendable job defining education standards for the grade levels.
As a recruiter for West Point in the Plano high schools, year after year North Texas sends two to three times as many students to West Point as would be expected, based on our population. This is because our public schools (particularly in the northern suburbs) provide such an exceptional education experience that our young people, if they apply themselves, can compete successfully against students from other parts of our country. I know a number of people who have moved their children out of well-known private schools in the Plano area because the public education is so much superior. We must be doing something right.
Arnell L. Engstrom, Plano: The Common Core State Standards Initiative was conceived in the 1990s, with the National Governors Association convening a group of people to work on developing standards in 2009 and implementing these in 2010. Louisiana just now opted out, leaving 43 states participating and others using parts of the initiative. Given that students in this country perform relatively poor compared to students in some other countries, especially in science and math, perhaps a comparison over the next several years between those states that fully participate in this program to those that don't could be utilized to help determine its effectiveness.
John Jasper, Plano: Our governing conservative Texas leaders are wary of any potentially hidden agenda that would allow the federal government to gain control of our local education system. Greg Abbott did well to reiterate the law prohibiting "participating" with the Common Core standards. A standard is an agreed-upon level of excellence or means to which something is to be attained. Although Common Core standards are voluntary and may overlap, Texas needs to stay with the existing TEKS standard (for reading and math) that apply to our K-12 schools. Texas still complies with No Child Left Behind requirements to receive federal funding.
That said, I believe using some curriculum, such as lessons and materials, from the Common Core standards can help teachers and administrators to better educate our students. Texas teachers are free to obtain and share ideas to develop school curriculum to meet our education standards.
Jeanmarie Beno, Plano: I am 100 percent against the Common Core. I have family in other states who have it and they are all extremely unhappy with the program.
Neldon Miffleton, Plano: Absolutely, Greg Abbott is right on track denying the federal government's intrusion to teaching or testing, in any manner, in Texas. Everything our federal government promotes contains insidious bias toward liberal dogma.
The great state of Texas has an obligatory duty to deny the invasion of liberal teachings as fact. Yielding to any federal teaching standard is tantamount to Benedict Arnold's betrayal of the Continental Army. Texas must deny the federal government's intrusion into the will of Texas and its people. Texas is the last bastion of the principles that made this country great, and we must keep the federal government at bay.

Out with j&k&kids to tackle Gallagher Marsh,Wet Maze 2.300,The Expedition,and the Wet Maze.
This was our 3rd cache of the day and by far the most entertaining and exhausting.
As I was hoping it was a liars cache "because who would really want to maintain 8 WP's in a marsh area....well I know who now " It was not.
So after getting WP1 we were off and running.
all the WP's were right were they should be and after WP4 I got the A-ha moment as to what to look for "nicely done on that" but with a battery loss issue on J's Gps we had to resort to my phone, but its all good because It has a SiRFstar IV chip in it which is the same as a Garmin gps so there was no accuracy issues with it at all "one of the WP's it was only 0.43 feet away.
we ran into no water hazards which was nice and we were in and out in 2 hours total.
This was a fun Expedition Through the Eldorado Marsh area.
Gets a favorite and a vote for cache of the month also.
Thanks for putting out the fun.

2007 e90 320D owner here. Basically I've had a remap done and am getting 194bhp and 411nm of torque and this was tested on a dyno. The car feels good to drive except that I don't quite feel connected to the road. My front wheels don't feel planted and I don't get immediate feedback through my steering wheel. I drove a friends 335D and obviously it's faster but it handled so much better and felt properly connected to the road.
My budget for upgrading the car, which is a completely vanilla 320D, is 2,500 euros ( I guess just over 2,000 quid). So I'm down to 2,000 euros after the remap. What do you guys think would be the next step? I was looking at the BMW Performance suspension kit. I'm on 16 inch winter tyres at the moment.
Would the performance kit improve the whole feel of the car? Would I be able to get 335D handling whilst obviously not having 335D speed. Should I go for another suspension kit? I was advised to get an LSD - but is my car fast enough to warrant an LSD? Shouldn't the suspension be upgraded first?
So is it true that the best two upgrades that a driver will notice most are remap and suspension upgrades? Am I missing something?

Tennessee diving coach Dave Parrington has announced the schedule for this summer's diving camps at Allan Jones Aquatic Center.
Parrington and volunteer assistant diving coach Brian Pritt are leading four residential camp sessions during the month of June.
The five-day camps feature two intensive training sessions per day with work both on and off the diving boards. Sessions include stretching and conditioning, learning specific techniques for somersaulting and twisting, and dry board belt work and trampoline drills.
The program is for ages 10 and up. The cost for the overnight camp is $575 per session. Day camp opportunities are also available.
A major plus for campers is the opportunity to train for a few days at Allan Jones Aquatic Center, which has been selected by USA Diving for a number of important events. Most recently the USA Diving Winter Senior Nationals were held at the facility in December 2011. Tennessee's home diving well has also been host to the 2008 Olympic Selection Camp and 2011 USA Junior and Age Group Nationals.
"We are very excited to host camps this summer," said Coleman Weibley, the director of operations for Tennessee's swimming and diving programs. "We have what we believe to be one of the greatest diving facilities in the country, and Dave Parrington and Brian Pritt build an elite staff to coach the campers during their stay in Knoxville."
More information and registration is online here: www.tenndivingcamps.com
2012 Tennessee Diving Camp Dates:
June 3-8
June 10-15
June 17-22
June 24-29

A quick search should turn up a lot of threads on both guns. There are a lot of Beretta guys on this forum. Some quick notes about both. I have owned both, and have been carrying an M9 over here for almost a year.
Beretta 92:
Utterly reliable
Very big with huge grip area
Long trigger reach in DA mode
Backwards safety/decocking lever
Utterly reliable
Smaller overall, including grip, than 92
Shorter trigger reach than 92, with generally smoother trigger action
Decocking lever with no backwards safety lever
Easier to change sights than 92
More expensive than 92
Accessory availability is excellent with both. Given the choice, I would get the P226 because of the better ergonomics. However, both guns work very well and if you like the 92 better, go for it.

Scents Sell: Take Clients on a Journey with Aromatherapy
When you're thinking about the subtle touches found in your treatment rooms and even waiting areas, don't dismiss the power of scent. Different aromas can transport clients to faraway places while they indulge in a massage, facial or body treatment.
Why not customize your spa treatments with specialized scents? Create a travel theme and match exotic aromas to complimentary services. Enhance a Chinese Tui Na massage with mandarin-scented oil, for example. Or make Caribbean skin-exfoliation treatments more memorable with tropical candles infused with papaya and mango aromas.
Better yet, have a selection ready for your clients to choose themselves. Encourage them to purchase the aromatherapy products used with their service to continue a relaxing, vacation-worthy experience at home.
For more ideas on combining aromatherapy with bodywork, explore the book Aromatherapy for Bodyworkers, written by Jade Shutes and Christina Weaver. The book is a great resource for spa professionals who want to learn more about integrating aromatherapy into traditional and non-traditional settings, beginning with the basics on plants, oils, quality, chemistry and safety.

Q&A: Alfonso Gomez
By Ricardo Conde
WBC Continental Americas welterweight champion Alfonso Gomez (22-4-2, 11 KOs) of Mexico, trained by his father Alfonso Gomez, Sr. and being assisted by former junior lightweight champ Robert Garcia in Oxnard, CA, will step back into the ring on Saturday, July 17th in Mexico against an opponent yet to be determined and will headline the latest edition of "Top Rank Live" on Fox Sports en Español which is being promoted by Top Rank. In his last outing, Gomez defeated former two-time lightweight champion "El Temible" Jose Luis Castillo (60-10-1, 52 KOs), when Castillo refused to answer the bell for the start of round six on the Pacquiao vs. Clottey "The Event" undercard at the Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, TX.
Click the photo to go to the next photo
We had a moment to sit down and talk to Alfonso Gomez as he prepares for his upcoming bout, here's what he had to say:
You're currently preparing for your next fight; do you know who your next opponent will be?
I don't know who I'll be fighting yet but I do know it'll be in Mexico. First they said that I was going to fight in a rematch against Castillo, and then they said I'd get to fight Saul Alvarez or maybe even Margarito but right now we don't know who we'll be fighting. I'm just glad that I'll be fighting again.
How is training camp going?
So far training camp is going good; I've been in camp for three weeks already. My training camps are usually eight weeks but my fight got pushed out two weeks early so now it'll be a ten week training camp, which is even better for me because I'll get better and stronger each day.
You're going to be headlining again, do think there's any added pressure for you to have a great performance and how does that make you feel?
Well, I've been a headliner a few times already; I was the headliner when I fought Ben Tackie, Arturo Gatti and Miguel Cotto so I've been the headliner a few times so there's really no added pressure. I'm going out there to do what I always do and that's give the fans the best fight I can give them and get closer to those championship fights.
Let's talk a little bit about your last fight. In your last outing you were able to stop two-time lightweight champion Jose Luis Castillo before the start of round six, tell us about that fight and what's your opinion of him as a fighter?
He's definitely a warrior; everyone saw the type of fighter he is in the Corrales fights, the fights with Mayweather and so on. In this particular fight I was playing mind games with him because that's what I do. I was telling him that I was faster, stronger and better than him and it wasn't just talk because I trained really hard for that fight in Oxnard at the Robert Garcia Boxing Academy and at World Crown Sports. I sparred with Brandon Rios, who is a tough S.O.B. I trained extremely hard for that fight and it showed in the fight that I was stronger and faster than he was and just when I was about to pick up the pace that's when he decided to call it off.
What kind of statement were you looking to make in your fight with Castillo, were you looking for the knockout?
I was looking for the knockout and after watching the tape I think I could have gotten it if I would have been a little more aggressive from the beginning. I don't regret anything in that fight though, I think I did well, I was composed and I was never hurt. I used my distance, my jabs and I never backed up and little by little I was tearing him apart.
What is your opinion of the current welterweight division?
In my opinion it's the best division out there. The welterweight division has the best talent and is full of tremendous fighters so I'm really lucky to be in this division. I think that if I was in a different division, lighter or heavier I would have become champion already but because this division has so much talent it has been a little difficult. My name keeps getting mentioned in there with the big fights and that in itself is an accomplishment seeing as how this division is so stacked.
Name one or two fighters you'd like to face in the near future?
Well, I'd love to be in a big fight against Manny Pacquiao or Mayweather but realistically I know that's not possible right now until I beat some of the big names out there. So right now I'd love to fight Saul Alvarez, David Estrada, Marcos Maidana or even Amir Khan, beating one of these guys could definitely set me up for bigger fights.
What are some of your goals for the rest of 2010?
I have a lot of goals for 2010, obviously to keep winning and get bigger and better fights. I'm staying focused and looking forward to bigger and better thing this year. Outside of boxing, I have my band Hy3rid and we're looking to make some noise in the music world.
When you're not fighting what does Alfonso Gomez like to do in his spare time?
Well, when I'm not boxing like I mentioned earlier I love making music with my band Hy3rid, which is hip-hop in español, and in terms of style and flow I feel we are the best rappers in Mexico, ever. Plus, I recently teamed up Kimurawear which does clothing for MMA and they were looking to get into boxing, so I'm their first boxer to have his own signature t-shirt and I invite the fans to visit my website www.alfonsosgomez.com to get more information about it because the first few people will receive a free autographed poster and key chain.
Is there anything you would like to tell your fans?
Yes, I'd love to thank all the fans for their support and hopefully they'll continue to support me. I always train hard to give the fans the best fight I can give them and I'll continue to do that, so again, I appreciate all the support and from the bottom of my heart I thank all of you.

Andrew Brons has been contacted by a fuel service company asking him to investigate whether it is possible persuade the European Parliament to postpone an Energy Using Products (EuP) Directive which will prohibit oil fired cooking and heating from 2013.
The company is hoping that Andrew can lobby for a delay on the legislation until 2018 by which time the 1.1 million homes still heated by oil and not served with gas will have found an alternative energy supply.
Andrew told the director of the company:
"I am sympathetic to your request and will ask one of our researchers for a briefing on this matter. In the meanwhile, I shall contact our administrator at the European Parliament to find out when the legislation is due."

Interpretive Summary: The gypsy moth is the most important forest and shade tree pest in the northeastern U.S. USDA and Korean scientists conducted studies on gypsy moth natural enemies on Cheju Island, a small island of volcanic origin about 56 miles south of the Korean Peninsula, to see if there were any natural enemies new to science occurring there that could have potential for biological control of gypsy moth in the U.S. Only four species of larval parasites, natural enemies that attack the caterpillar stage, were found on Cheju, whereas 12 species have been reported from mainland Korea. Likewise, only one species of pupal parasite was found on Cheju compared with at least four species on the mainland. Not only was the number of parasite species low, but rates of parasitism were low compared to the mainland. We suspect that Cheju Island has only been recently invaded by the gypsy moth, and that many of the pest's habitual natural enemies have lagged behind. Cheju Island does not appear to be a promisin source of natural enemies for biological control of gypsy moth, however it might benefit by the importation and release of natural enemy species from mainland Korea.
Technical Abstract: Parasitoids of gypsy moth were studied in an outbreak population at Mt. Halla on Cheju island, Korea. The larvae and pupae of this polyphagous insect were collected weekly from three sites on the mountain in 1998, and reared for parasite emergence. Components of the gypsy moth parasite complex and their impact on gypsy moth population were evaluated in terms of percentage parasitism rates, and compared to the previous report from mainland Korea. Nine natural enemies of the gypsy moth were recorded: 1 egg parasitoid, 4 larval parasitoids, 1 pupal parasitoid, 1 parasitic nematode and two diseases. Glyptapanteles liparidis (Bouche) dominated the insect parasitoid complex with a mean parasitism rate of 3.7%. The tachinid Parasetigena silvestris (Robineau-Desvoidy) was the second most important insect parasitoid, exerting a mean parasitism rate of 2.2%. In contrast to the low insect parasitism, the pathogens were recorded as main mortality factors; NPV contributed 43.7% to the gypsy moth mortality, and Beauveria prob. bassiana. caused that of 22.3%. The species richness of the parasitoid complexes recovered from the island accounted for 17.6-42.9% of those reported from sites on the mainland, with the total number of parasitoid species recorded from the island being 22.7% of that from the mainland. Cotesia melanoscelus (Ratzeburg) (Braconidae) and Phobocampe species (Ichneumonidae), important parasitoids affecting early-intermediate instars of L. dispar on the mainland, were not recorded on this island.

Report: Brewers will trade Zack Greinke without long-term deal
One of Major League's Baseball's top pitchers could be on the market before long. FOX Sports reports that the Milwaukee Brewers intend to trade starting pitcher Zack Greinke if they can't agree to a long-term deal with the former Cy Young award winner. Greinke's current contract -- signed when he was still a member of the Kansas City Royals -- expires at the end of this year, and negotiations on a long-term extension have stalled. Greinke has had a good season thus far in 2012 -- he owns an 8-2 records with a 2.81 ERA -- but the Brewers haven't been quite as successful as a whole. The club currently stands fourth in the NL Central, 7.5 games back from the division-leading Cincinnati Reds.

Tin foil hat party #1
It's been like, I don't know, two weeks or a month since T.I.'s personal assistant Philant Johnson was shot and killed in Cincinatti. I've yet to hear anything about the police finding any suspects, or even pursuing any leads, so I wouldn't be surprised if this ended up yet another unsolved hip-hop murder.
At the time, it was suggested that the incident was in retaliation for someone in TI's camp throwing money in people's faces – a tradition in Atlanta known as making it rain. This made enough sense to me since, after all, TI and his crew are from Atlanta. But DJ Drama, who came thisclose to being shot at himself (whew!) was very adamant that no one from either T.I.'s or Young Joc's camp threw any money at anyone.
At first I was rather skeptical, but now I'm tempted to believe him, since you'd think something like that would be easy to prove using security footage. Also, I'd have to check on this, but I'm not sure whether or not weed carriers are even allowed to make it rain. At the very least, I would imagine something like that would have to come out of his own cut, and obviously he's going to need that money for retirement.
Or he would have.
So if whoever it was who killed Philant Johnson didn't do so because Big Phil was making it rain, then why did they do it. I mean, it's not like he was hit by a stray bullet in a club. They made it a point to chase T.I.'s entourage down the highway and unload on their van. Surely, T.I. or someone must have done something to offend them. But T.I. hasn't said or done anything to offend anyone recently, has he?
Well, now that you mention it, there was that thing with the Mexicans. You see, on April 14th, a good three weeks before the incident in Cincinatti, T.I. gave an interview to the Associated Press, in which he had the following to say about illegal immigrants:
"If they came here illegally, man, they might need to, you know… It seems rough, and cruel, and harsh; but to be fair to everybody, the people who trying to get over here the right way, I think they might need to be put back over there so they can, you know, find a way to get over here the right way."
In the following weeks, T.I.'s comments would cause quite the stir, as evidenced by comments on my own site and a forum for militant hispanic reconquistadores called BrownPride.com. Absent evidence of any other offendings actions or remarks on behalf of T.I. or anyone in his entourage, I can't help but think that these latinazis must somehow be involved. At the very least, I think the authorities would have to pursue this as a possibility.

OWASP Contributions
I have been contributing to OWASP since 2002. In 2004, along with Jeff Williams, we established the 501c3 organization that is now the OWASP Foundation. Since establishing the OWASP Foundation, I have served and continue to serve as the de facto Chief Financial Officer of OWASP, managing all financial transactions, authorizing all payments from OWASP, and making sure we are good stewards of OWASP's financial resources. I also negotiate and sign for virtually all contracts OWASP enters into with other parties. I also established all the financial accounts for the OWASP Foundation including bank accounts, credit cards, tax IDs, and helped hire all the employees of the OWASP Foundation and provide oversight for their work. I also helped determine the benefits that these employees would receive, and established the procedures for how they would receive those benefits including health insurance, payroll, etc. In late 2004, I volunteered to become the OWASP Conferences Chair where I launched the OWASP Conferences Series, personally organized all the U.S. and European AppSec conferences from 2005 through 2008, and helped launch the Global Conferences Committee in 2009, which has now taken over the primary organizational duties for the OWASP Conferences. The OWASP Conferences have grown to serve as the primary fundraising resource for OWASP. I have also spent countless hours helping to initially establish the OWASP wiki, and then continuing to improve it, proofreading articles, encouraging others to contribute, etc.
As a volunteer to OWASP, Dave is:
- A continuous member of the OWASP Board since it was established in 2004,
- The OWASP Conferences Chair,
- Project lead and coauthor of the OWASP Top 10,
- Coauthor of the OWASP Application Security Verification Standard,
- Contributor to the OWASP Enterprise Security API (ESAPI) project,
- Lead of the OWASP Prevention Cheat Sheet Series and primary author of the SQL Injection Prevention Cheat Sheet.

Why Me - For the 2011 OWASP Board Reelection
I envision an OWASP that reaches every developer in the world and has a role in improving the security of every line of code written. With 15m developers and a trillion lines of code already in existence, this is an enormous challenge – bigger and harder than network security in many ways. I don't have all the answers, but I know that the only way to find creative new approaches is to empower developers, security researchers, and consumers worldwide to work together. Here are a few key areas that I believe will help us achieve our mission.
- Partnership – I believe in doing everything possible to make security easier for developers. By partnering, integrating, and cooperating with development projects and organizations, we can move away from reactive security and become part of the solution. I think OWASP is uniquely positioned to bring together technology companies with security experts to make real progress.
- Finances – Money is one of the biggest challenges facing OWASP as we grow. I think OWASP's best role is not as funds collector and distributor -- but as connector, partner, and broker. This distributed, bottom-up strategy is the only approach that has a hope of scaling to the size of our challenge. I'm a staunch defender of radical openness in all aspects of OWASP governance.
- Freedom and Openness – For OWASP to achieve its mission, we need an application security knowledgebase that is free and open for everyone. Unlocking this knowledge and making it easy to use are the only way to reach the scale we need. We've worked hard to build our reputation as an unbiased expert community, and I will work hard to protect it.
- International – OWASP is already international, and I will continue to build chapters and conferences in countries around the world. I will also encourage building bridges with governments worldwide to support their application security growth. We need the diversity and energy from the entire world to achieve our mission.
As the only Member of the Board running for reelection that has been a board member since the Foundation was established, I plan to continue to help OWASP grow and succeed in its mission. I have successfully helped take OWASP from a loose federation of a few dozen volunteers in cyberspace back in 2002 to a Global force in Application Security in 2011 with thousands of members, hundreds of chapters and projects, and dozens of conferences annually around the world. My lengthy experience and continued passion for OWASP should serve me well as I continue my role as a member of the OWASP board for the next 2 years and hopefully beyond. I have helped shaped OWASP and its core values for the last decade, still strongly believe in its mission, and intend to continue to heavily contribute for years to come.

Blackout On Indonesia's Java Due To Coal Disruption
Date: 22-Feb-08
Country: INDONESIA
Author: Muklis Ali and Fitri Wulandari
The power crunch in Java and Bali, which started late on Wednesday, was the result of an electricity deficit of about 1,000 megawatts, an official at the state power monopoly said.
The outages are continuing into Thursday, even though the power deficit has been halved but the blackout could spread to other areas in Java if coal supplies do not pick up soon, said Mulyo Adji, PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara's (PLN) spokesman.
"Some power plants are running below capacity and some of them are going back to fuel oil. We have turned off supplies to several areas in Java as PLN has a power deficit," Adji said.
"Coal supplies to some power plants in Java have been stopped, as ships cannot go to ports because of big waves."
The coal disruptions add to problems faced by Indonesia's utility sector that is often hit by outages because of ageing power plant equipment and soaring demand due to its brisk economic growth. The last major blackout was in August 2005.
Officials say electricity demand is growing around 10 percent a year, outstripping power supply in a country of more than 220 million as investments in generating plants and transmission lines have lagged.
The coal shipment problems forced PLN to seek more oil products from PT Pertamina as a substitute, prompting the state oil firm to raise its imports for February.
Pertamina is seeking additional imports of 600,000 barrels of diesel and 370,000 barrels of fuel oil for February, its deputy director Hanung Budya said on Thursday.
"Because of additional demand from PLN after the coal supply problems at their power plants, Pertamina needs to supply more to PLN," Budya said, adding that the country's current national oil product stocks could support 18 days of consumption.
Pertamina processing director Suroso Atmomartoyo said operations of its refineries in Balongan and Cilacap on Java Island had not been affected and both were operating with their own power generators.
Energy Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said the government wanted PLN to keep 30-days of coal stocks, but there was no plan to ban coal exports.
The disruptions in Indonesia, the world's largest thermal coal exporter, came as Asian prices have spiked by more than half over the past month after China slapped a two-month ban on exports due to a power crisis, heavy rain shut down Australian mines and port problems disrupted South African shipments.
Indonesia's strong power demand is forcing Asia-Pacific's only OPEC member to tap other energy sources such as coal and natural gas in the face of rising crude prices and dwindling domestic oil reserves.
PLN has a monopoly over power supply in Indonesia and has 24,000 MW of generating capacity, but daily output is far below capacity. Some 30 percent of the plants use oil products such as diesel and fuel oil.
Despite the power shortage, operations of key miners in Java were unaffected as mining firms have their own power sources, while the impact on the capital, Jakarta, was minor and businesses had not been hit.
Mining activity at the Pongkor gold mine in West Java and smelting in precious metal refinery PT Logam Mulia in Jakarta -- both operated by state miner PT Aneka Tambang -- was normal, Bimo Budi Satriyo, Antam's corporate secretary, said.
Operations at Indonesian copper smelter PT Smelting in Gresik, East Java were also unaffected, as it has its own gas-fired power plant, said Dukut Imam Widodo, PT Smelting's general affairs manager.
Indonesia plans to step up power generation capacity to meet soaring demand by building new coal-fired and natural gas plants, but the projects need huge investments.
Other than ageing plants, the power sector has also been hit by high costs and low funds, as tariffs are highly subsidised and still among the lowest in the world.
Indonesia has not raised electricity tariffs for several years due to opposition from p

Does your engine blow blue smoke when idling, does it smoke blue going down the road? Chances are you have worn out valve guide oil seals in your engine. I will show you how easy it is to replace them and with a few simple hand tools.
Things You'll Need
- Wrench set
- Socket Set
- Hammer
- Valve Spring Tool
- Pliers
- Screwdriver
- Air Compressor
- Compression Gauge (hose)
Disassemble your engine down to where you will have access to the valve spring. You will need to remove the cylinder head cover, the rocker arms and the push rods. You will also need to remove the spark plugs.
Next turn on your air compressor and regulate the air 60-90 psi, turn the crankshaft until the cylinder you are replacing valve seals on is on top dead center. Screw the compression gauge hose into the spark plug hole, attach the air compressor hose, your cylinder is now pressurized.
The valves will stay in the closed position as long as the air pressure is holding it up.
Using the valve spring tool, compress the valve spring and remove the valve keepers with a magnet. These may be stuck to the valve spring retainer and a little bump with the palm of your hand or a small hammer will jar it loose. Pack towels around the area so you won't lose the keepers into the engine. Remove the spring.
Remove the old valve seal with pliers or screwdrivers and replace with a new seal. Reverse procedure to reassemble engine, use the magnet when installing keepers and after removing valve spring compressor tap the top of the valve lightly with a hammer to seat the keepers.
Tips & Warnings
- Take your time and the repair will go smoother, use a service manual for torque specs when reassembling the engine parts.
- Clean all old gaskets off during disassembly and assembly will go smoother.
- Wear safety glasses as you will be working with compressed springs and small parts.
- Keep a clothespin handy in case your air compressor dies or you need to shut down for any reason, clip the clothespin onto the valve to keep it from dropping into the engine. If a valve drops into the engine you will have to remove the cylider head to repair it.

Okay so here is the short of it.
I installed the unit last night. It powered up just fine. And the screen functioned as it should and worked well. The sound played through my speakers. But the radio Reception was really really poor. I attribute that likely to the fact that there was only one of the two antenna connectors connected, because the unit only came with one connection plug and not two. This bothered me but would not have been the straw that broke the camels back. Having the original iPhone connector only, really bothered me as well but also wasn't the straw that broke the camels back either. The last straw was the fact that no matter what I tried I could not get the steering wheel controls to work. The system has a learning feature where you select the button and then press the button on the wheel for it to learn which button is which. However as I tried to make it work by pressing the buttons it would not recognize the wheel. It tells you to hold down the button for a long period of time which I tried, to no avail. Long story short, I'm sending the unit back. I think that for the money I spent($410), it Wasn't worth it. I think I will wait until a different unit comes out before I purchase a new one. Until then I purchased a LOC so I can hook up my subwoofers.
I think I will throw in the towel for any of these Chinese units until someone in United States successfully tests the unit and gives it a good thumbs-up. And I mean someone that specifically has the SE tech package like I do(203A).
I'm sure something new will come out later this year that I will want to try but until then I will wait.
@cgrums I really hope it works out for you man! It just didn't for me. I hope the steering wheel controls function on your car. And I hope all the connections are proper for you. We have different systems, you have the my ford touch. So I'm hopeful that the different systems will work better for you than they did for me. I am anxious to see here if it works for you. I also want to know if It has two antenna hook ups. Good luck bud.

SWAT team detains 4 people possibly connected to shooting
CHICO, Calif. - The Butte County SWAT team stormed a Chico neighborhood Thursday morning looking for suspects linked to an early morning shooting.
It was at the same location as an apartment that was riddled with bullet holes earlier this week.
Chico police said the SWAT standoff stemmed from a 3 a.m. call of shots being fired in a neighborhood.
Police officers who were working the graveyard shift responded to an apartment building on the corner of Rancheria and North Cedar around 3:00 a.m. Thursday after reports of shots fired.
The suspects led them to a house on the 600 block of 4th Avenue near Warner Street.
"The officers set up a perimeter around the house trying to get the occupants to come out. They refused to comply," said Lieutenant Jennifer Gonzales of the Chico Police Department.
Chico police shut down the road for hours. The SWAT team was deployed and officers evacuated neighbors to get them out of harm's way.
As the SWAT team moved in, the entire neighborhood heard loud booms coming from the house. Around 11 a.m. SWAT officers were able to detain four people.
Neighbors who live in the apartment complex where the shooting happened refused to comment.
Police have not released the names of the four people they detained, and they are not ruling out this shooting as being gang related.
So far the four have not been arrested and no charges have been filed.

Rob Ford: 'I Have Smoked Crack Cocaine'
Toronto Mayor Rob Ford admitted to reporters at City Hall Tuesday that he has smoked crack cocaine.
UPDATE: At a news conference Tuesday afternoon, Ford again apologized for his behaviour but vowed to stay on as mayor. "I was elected to do a job and that's exactly what I'm going to continue doing," he said. Read the full transcript of Ford's speech.
"Yes, I have smoked crack cocaine. But do I? Am I an addict? No," he said. "Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors, probably approximately about a year ago."
Listen to Ford's confession below
The stunning admission comes months after the leader of Canada's largest city denied using the drug and being an addict.
Ford had been under intense scrutiny after The Toronto Star and Gawker reported in May on the existence of a video that they said appeared to show the mayor smoking crack. Ford suggested the video did not exist.
Ford reiterated on Tuesday his desire to see the release of a video that is currently in possession of Toronto police, allegedly showing him smoking the drug.
"Yes, I've made mistakes, all I can do now is apologize and move on,'' the mayor said.
"You guys kept referring to alcohol ... there's been times when I've been in a drunken stupor. That's why I want to see the tape. I want everyone in the city to see this tape."
The mayor also denied he has been lying for months.
"I wasn't lying," he told reporters. "You didn't ask the correct questions. No, I'm not an addict and no I do not do drugs.''
Ford later told The Toronto Sun that he is not taking a leave of absence or stepping down.
"I feel like I got 1,000 pounds off my back," Ford told the reporter. "I felt I had to say it. It is what is. I feel two inches high right now but I needed to deal with it."
Legal experts, however, have said Ford has no right to call for the video to be made public given that it is now evidence in the extortion case against his friend and occasional driver, Alexander (Sandro) Lisi.
Lisi, 35, has been charged with extortion in relation to the alleged video.
A spokeswoman for Toronto police wouldn't say how Ford's comments would impact an ongoing police investigation, saying only that "the information will be passed on to investigators."
Ford's unexpected statement left many people stunned.
The premier of Ontario said she was concerned that Ford's personal issues were making it difficult for the business of the city to carry on in a normal way.
"We want municipalities to be able to function and there is a huge amount of turmoil at city hall right now," said Kathleen Wynne.
"The police service and the judicial system have to take action. But the mayor will have to make his decisions about what is appropriate right now."
Justice Minister Peter MacKay told Ottawa reporters "the mayor needs to get help."
At city hall, some who worked with Ford said his latest admission was a clear sign that he needed to step back from the mayor's chair.
A member of Ford's executive committee — which works closely with the mayor — said some councillors were bringing a motion against the mayor that could strip him of some of his powers.
"He needs to take a break, he needs to consider what's best for him, what's best for this city," said Coun. Denzil Minnan-Wong.
"I'm concerned that there may be more information coming out that's going to continue distracting important business of the city."
Others were more blunt in their assessment of the mayor.
"Right now he does not have a shred of credibility, given what he has said," said Coun. Jaye Robinson.
"The real issue is getting the mayor to address his health issues, step aside, take a leave of absence, as I've been saying for six long months."
Robinson added that Ford's often contradictory statements over the last few months have taken a toll on Toronto and its international brand.
"It's a circus and if anybody is saying it's not affecting the business of the city they're not being honest," she said. "We've also become the laughing stock of North America, if not the world."
Ford's revelation on Tuesday splashed the Toronto scandal on the front pages of many international news sites, with BBC, CNN and the New York Times all reporting the mayor's latest about-face.
Despite the pressure on Ford to step down, municipal law makes no provision for his forced removal from office unless he's convicted and jailed for a criminal offence. The province has said it has no plans to change the law.
With files from The Canadian Press
There will be plenty of council fallout. Earlier today, two councillors proposed a motion that would strip Ford of many of his powers.
Ford could also face resignations from councillors on his executive committee or members of his staff could also resign.
Ford's legal battles have also not ended. Wire taps from Project Traveller and Brazen 2 could add to Ford's woes if they are released to the public.
Toronto's City Hall reporters will have plenty to do in the coming days.
Ford leaving City Hall @globalnewsto http://t.co/T5iBppcjv7— Alexandra Pinto (@APintoGlobal) 1 year ago
Mayor left the press conference. But journalists now trying to get reactions from councillors.
"With today's announcement, I know I embarrassed everyone in this city and I will be forever sorry.
There is only one person to blame for this and that is myself. I know admitting my mistake was the right thing to do and I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off my shoulders.
I can't explain how difficult this was to do. I hope, I hope that nobody, that nobody has to go through what I have gone through. I know what I did was wrong and admitting it was the most difficult and embarrassing thing I have ever had to do.
Folks, I have nothing left to hide. I would do anything, absolutely anything, to change the past. But the past is the past and we must move forward. I wanna be clear, I want to be crystal clear to every single person, these mistakes will never, ever, ever happen again. I kept this from my family, especially my brother Doug, my staff, my council colleagues, because I was embarrassed and ashamed.
To the residents of Toronto, I know I have let you down and I can't do anything else but apologize and apologize. And I'm so sorry. I know, I know I have to regain your trust and your confidence.
I love my job, I love my job, I love this city, I love saving taxpayers money, I love being your mayor.
There is important work that we must advance and important decisions that must be made. For the sake of the taxpayers of this great city, for the sake of the taxpayers, we must get back to work immediately.
We must keep Toronto moving forward. I was elected to do a job and that's exactly what I'm going to continue doing. In 2010, I made a commitment to Toronto voters I have delivered on that commitment and I will continue to deliver on the commitment of saving taxpayers money.
But they have a choice, we live in a democracy, and on October 27 of 2014, I want the people of this great city to decide whether they want Rob Ford to be their mayor.
Again, I sincerely, sincerely, sincerely apologize. God bless Toronto. Thank you very much."
"I will be forever sorry. There is only one person to blame for this, and that is myself. I know that admitting my mistake..."
We'll be tweeting highlights and quotes as they come.
"Let's get our popcorn and let's stand by," says Mayor Ford's lawyer on CP24. He also says the mayor loves his job and likely won't leave.

Toronto Mayor Rob Ford dropped a bombshell on Tuesday when he announced that he had smoked crack cocaine.
"Exactly, yes I have smoked crack cocaine. But no, do I? Am I an addict? No. Have I tried it? Probably in one of my drunken stupors. Probably approximately about a year ago. I answered your question. You asked the question properly, I'll answer it. Yes, I've made mistakes, all I can do now is apologize and move on."

International Admission Review Process
International Freshman
You are considered an international freshman applicant if you:
- are not a Permanent Resident Alien or United States citizen
- have never been enrolled as a university student

However, we also consider a range of accomplishments and qualifications.
International freshman applicants must provide documentation that they meet the following considerations:
Optional documentation:
- SAT or ACT scores
- Interactive interview (for Chinese applicants)
International Transfer
You are considered an international transfer student if you:
- are not a Permanent Resident Alien or United States citizen
- have graduated from a secondary school (high school) and later enrolled in college or university
NC State Undergraduate Admissions employs a holistic approach, considering a range of accomplishments and qualifications, in reviewing international transfer students' applications. While competitive international transfer applicants must provide documentation that they meet the following requirements, these factors alone do not guarantee admission:
- English proficiency
- Certificate of Financial Responsibility
- NC State Academic Programs Admissions Considerations (for any international transfer applicant who is transferring from a U.S. college or university)
Please note: Chinese applicants are encouraged to submit an Interactive interview
English Proficiency
English proficiency can be demonstrated by meeting these requirements:
|Options for Meeting Requirements
|Scores Required for Full
Undergraduate Admission
|Scores Required for Conditional Admission
|TOEFL IBT (code: 5496)
|85 or higher (minimum of 18 in each sub score)
|60 or higher

|Grade of C or higher
Applicants who meet minimum scores required to demonstrate full English proficiency but do not meet minimum sub-section requirements may be considered for conditional admission through NC State's Intensive English Program.
Please note: Applicants who are citizens from countries (Australia, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Canada (except Quebec), Dominica, Grenada, Cayman Islands, Guyana, Ireland, Jamaica, Liberia, New Zealand, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos Islands, United Kingdom) in which English is the official or commonly spoken language do not need to prove English proficiency.
Documentation of Finances
International applicants who require a F-1 or J-1 student visa must provide documentation of their ability to cover estimated school expenses by completing the Certificate of Financial Responsibility.
SAT or ACT Scores (for International Freshman only)
SAT and ACT exams are optional for international applicants. However, if you believe the test scores provide further evidence of your academic ability, you are encouraged to submit your scores. We accept official SAT and ACT scores submitted electronically by the testing agency. (SAT code 5496 and ACT code 3164)
Please note: International students who attended a U.S. high school for at least two years and also graduated from a U.S. high school must present competitive SAT or ACT scores unless they have earned at least 30 semester hours of transferable college or university credit.
Interactive Interview
We recommend that Chinese applicants submit a third-party unscripted interview, in which each applicant has the opportunity to provide additional information on his or her:
- overall accomplishments
- capability
- potential
- academic and personal background
Applicants can contact InitialView to set up an interview. Interviews are optional and must be submitted by the application deadline to be considered.
Use of Agents or Educational Agencies
NC State does not partner with incentive-based agents or educational agencies to represent the University or to administer any part of the application process.
We recognize that in many countries agents or consultants are retained by students and their families to assist in applying to universities in the United States. It is not necessary to engage an agent in order to have a strong chance of admission to NC State. Admission decisions are not based on the recommendations of agents.
NC State expects an application to be the work of the applicant and that all information on the application is complete, accurate and truthful. We may reject application materials, cancel an admissions offer or dismiss a student from attendance, if it is determined that application materials have been falsified.
It is critical that applicants use their own email address, phone number, and mailing address on their application to ensure that all communication from NC State is delivered in an accurate and timely manner. Missing any important communication from NC State may delay applicants' application process and admission decisions.

Calling him possibly the best transportation secretary in history, President Obama bid goodbye to Ray LaHood on Monday and nominated Charlotte Mayor Anthony Foxx to take his place.
Foxx, a Democrat, replaces a Republican in the White House, but in his brief speech in the East Room of the White House he made an appeal for bipartisanship. "We must work together to enhance this nation's infrastructure," he said.
Obama also used the announcement to press for infrastructure spending, saying that putting Americans to work repairing the nation's roads and bridges was one of the best ways to boost the economy.
LaHood, a former congressman from Illinois who has held his post since Obama first took office, called his job the best he's ever had and the president one of the best bosses. He named new mileage standards, the campaign against distracted driving, and the launch of high-speed rail as accomplishments that will be part of Obama's legacy.
Obama did not want LaHood to step down, and he even tried to convince the secretary's wife to urge him to stay. ("Kathy and I have been married 46 years, and she wins out on this one," LaHood said Monday.)
But on Monday the president pronounced himself "absolutely confident" that Foxx will "do an outstanding job," calling him "one of the most effective mayors that Charlotte has ever seen."
The president also revealed two fortuitous coincidences: that Foxx's grandmother worked at the White House in the Truman Administration, and that Tuesday is the Charlotte mayor's birthday. LaHood's grandmother was there herself to watch the announcement from her wheelchair.

Taste of Country Nights Radio Show Debuts Nationwide
A new name in radio begins with a familiar voice on Monday night, July 2. Taste of Country Nights will air nightly from 7PM to midnight on 34 country stations nationwide Monday through Friday. Host Jeremy Robinson promises a house party atmosphere on his new show, with people dropping by at any moment with (or without) an invite.
Blake Shelton vs. Zac Brown Band – The Showdown
You now have a chance to decide the best new songs in country music every day! Starting July 2, the Taste of Country Showdown will run online and on the air daily. With the launch of Taste of Country Nights on 34 radio stations across America, you'll get to hear even more of the hottest hits from the hottest artists in country music. Today's challengers are Blake Shelton and his new song 'Over' against Zac Brown Band and their latest, 'The Wind.'
Top Tweets of June 2012
The country music went world wide in June 2012. Stars tweeted from all over, including during trips to London, Australia and from the audience of the CMT Music Awards in Nashville. They serve drinks at that awards show, which led to more than a few funny tweets. Two of those made the Top Tweets of June 2012 list.
Favorite Blake Shelton Song – Readers Poll
It's Blake Shelton's birthday today! The famous country music star, reality television coach and Twitter smart-alec turns 36-years-old. It's hard to believe he's been cranking out hits for over a decade. Which of Shelton's songs is your all-time favorite?
Colt Ford, 'Back' (Feat. Jake Owen) – Song Review
There's a moment in just about every Colt Ford single when one braces for the Georgia born songwriter's hip-hop-country delivery. "How far from center will he travel," one wonders — with trepidation or excitement, depending on perspective. On 'Back,' his new single with Jake Owen on the chorus, Ford is in the upper bowl of the arena as Owen puts on a show at center stage.
Favorite Waylon Jennings Song – Readers Poll
Waylon Jennings would celebrate his 75th birthday today. There's no better reason to explore his catalog, listen to the 'Ultimate Waylon Jennings' album or reflect on the life of one of country music's greatest legends. Check out this list of the Top 10 Waylon Jennings Songs, and then decide, which is the all-time greatest of his hits?
Carrie Underwood, Eric Church + More Rehearse for 2012 CMT Music Awards
The 2012 CMT Music Awards are a collection of both superstars and hot, new country talent. This week, stars like Carrie Underwood and Eric Church have been rehearsing their performances, while newcomers like Kip Moore, Jana Kramer and the FARM look to take the stage for the very first time. Scroll through these photos of artists preparing for Wednesday's (June 6) CMT broadcast.
Top 40 Country Songs – June 2012
Kenny Chesney's new single makes a Top 10 debut on the Taste of Country list of the Top 40 Country Songs of June 2012. 'Come Over' is one of three songs about 'Over' — including 'Over' by Blake Shelton and 'Over You' by Miranda Lambert — to make this list. None of those three are in the Top 5 however. Those positions go to songs that are at the top of sales, Billboard and request charts.
Country Artists Who Have Served Their Country
Country music has a long tradition of supporting the troops, with stars like Toby Keith, Kellie Pickler and Darryl Worley taking frequent trips overseas to play for the men and women stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Of course, before the Gulf Wars, country musicians were quick to join the USO to play for troops stationed just about anywhere. While only a minority of Nashville's best served in the military, more than a few on this list may surprise you.
Bluegrass Legend Doc Watson Hospitalized, in Critical Condition
Famous flat-picker, singer and folk legend Arthel 'Doc' Watson is in critical condition after a fall at his home in Deep Gap, N.C. on Monday. While his daughter said he didn't break any bones in the accident, it appears he's suffering from an infection.
Country Stars and Their Moms
There are dozens (if not hundreds) of country songs about moms, and many country singers are even mothers themselves. For this reason, the Mother's Day holiday is sure to be one that is surely not going to be overlooked on any humble artist's calendar. Take a look at the women who helped shape the ladies and gents of country music — the ones that give us so much wonderful music year after year — in this list of Country Stars and Their Moms.
Blake Shelton Defends 'The Voice' Hopeful RaeLynn From Online Critic
An online critic with harsh words for 'The Voice' singer RaeLynn is feeling the wrath of the blonde cutie's coach today. Blake Shelton read a personal assault on his 17-year-old singer's performance from Monday night and fired back with a (not so safe for work) series of tweets.

One of the most popular promotions in recent history is popping up across the St. Louis Cardinals minor league system this season.
On at least five upcoming nights, St. Louis Cardinals 2011 World Series replica rings will be given in limited numbers of fans in Memphis, Springfield and now, Quad Cities. In addition, St. Louis is having another ring night themselves.
Next up is Triple-A Memphis. On Friday, July 6, the first 3,000 to arrive at AutoZone Park will receive a ring of their own. Busch Stadium attendees will also be given rings that same night.
Newly-announced on Wednesday is the promotion in Davenport. On two different Wednesdays in July, the 8th and 22nd, the first 2,000 Quad Cities River Bandits attendees each evening will leave with their own ring.
Earlier, Springfield announced they will have two additional World Series replica ring promotions this season. However, as of yet, the dates have not been disclosed. The Double-A club had two ring nights early in 2012.
Despite the earlier giveaways, interest level in these rings remains high. They are currently selling on ebay for prices approaching $100.

You've been dreaming for years of finally taking care of all those dental problems that have been plaguing you … but it's so expensive!!
You've been putting it off for years, suffering pain and discomfort month after month, because somehow, there is always something more urgent that needs your attention.
But now, you can delay no further; you need to have that treatment!
Even if it means that vacation you've been planning for ever will have to be put off until better times roll by. And who knows when that will happen? But what if you could
combine that dental
treatment you desperately
need with that fabulous
holiday you richly deserve?
AND still have money left
Only minutes away from the heart of Jerusalem, we are located in a haven of peace and tranquility, overlooking the Judean Hills and Bethlehem. Situated in Kibbutz Ramat Rachel, we offer a unique advantage: a dental clinic that can offer an added-value dental tourism holiday. No need to look for parking or worrying about scheduling appointments, everything is close-by.
Get the Flash Player to see this player.
Deciding where to have your dental treatment is never easy. Ideally, you need to find a reputable dentist close to home, and plan out a complete dental treatment plan that will restore your dentition to optimum function and aesthetics. However, this is not always possible.
One of the major problems with achieving this goal is the prohibitive cost of quality dental treatment. Prices for superior dentistry are constantly rising, and treatment plans that cost tens of thousands of dollars are not uncommon.
Here in Israel, due to a unique macro-economic situation, the costs of comparative levels of dentistry are much lower than in most of the western world, often less than 50%. Additionally, these lower prices are not achieved at the expense of quality; standards of dentistry in Israel are the same, or often higher, than those of the United States or Europe.

Buñuel's second English-language film is a scorching tale of sex and sin that charts the simmering tensions that arise when a black jazz musician (Hamilton), fleeing a false rape charge, shows up on an untamed South Carolina island inhabited by a racist gamekeeper (Scott) and the 13-year-old girl (Meersman) he lusts after. Howlingly defiant in its condemnation of bigotry and moral hypocrisy, this neglected masterpiece is "full of poetic asides…revealing Buñuel's dark, philosophical wit at its most personal" (Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader).
