Participants found the registration fee and levels from previous years complicated so we made it nice and simple.
We will carefully monitor weather conditions, and of course we will do what is necessary to safeguard our cyclists and walkers, but the bottom line is that we're on -- regardless of the weather.
Keep an eye on your location page for updated weather details in case of freezing rain, or lightning storms.

You have two choices:
1) Bring your pledge sheet with you to registration on RIDE Day with all cheques, and cash. Be sure to carefully review your sponsors for legible names, email, and addresses so that we can issue tax receipts for donations.
At registration, you will be greeted by some friendly RIDE Registration Volunteers and sit with them for a few minutes while they check over your pledge sheet, have you sign a waiver form, give you your event wristband and your t-shirt ticket if you're raised $100 or more.
2) You can mail them in to Head Office. Cheques made out to "RIDE for Refuge" should include participant name on the memo line. Be sure to add them online in the fundraising hub too. Print off your 'my results form' and send the pledge forms in with any cheques.

The Ride for Refuge requires all riding participants to wear approved cycling helmets. Other kinds of protective helmets (such as hockey helmets) are not acceptable.
Visit your location page, and scroll down a little - there will be route maps at the bottom beginning in July.
On your location page, you'll find a bunch of other helpful information. These pages are updated regularly, so check back soon if your city has not yet posted routes.
All riders are expected to do a "once-over" on their bicycle before the RIDE begins. We will have some basic tools available to help with small repairs should you require help on the route.
We also have sweep vehicles who can pick you up and drive you back to the start / finish location if your bike breaks down - or you can't go on.
If you live an hour outside one of our locations, select RIDE Anywhere as your location when you register.
How it works: short version
The members of your team may all select different distances. We all begin in large groups but we often end up riding in small packs with riders of similar physical condition.
You bet. Approximately every 10 km/5 miles you will find a rest area that includes a porta-potty and water. Snacks are available at the 20 km/10 mile rest stop.
Many cyclists enjoy a nice rest along the way - it's not a race... it's a RIDE.
Each RIDE location will host a celebration lunch for all volunteers and participants of the RIDE.
Yes. If you have joined a team, your fundraising and sponsor totals will be reflected in both your team total and the overall event total.

Absolutely - just remember:
There is no way to record cash or cheque donations directly to your team in our fundraising system.
If your TEAM, rather than a specific team member, has raised some cash and/or cheque donations, you'll need to make a decision -- you can either a) record these donations under your team captain, who will then hand in the money at registration on RIDE Day, or b) pick one of your team members to record the donation, and then they will hand in the money on RIDE Day.
Either way, the amount that each rider has recorded in pledges on their personal account must match the amount that they hand in at the registration table on RIDE Day.
All kids 12 and under must be accompanied by a parent or guardian who is riding with them and stays with them at all times. The 10km route is 'family friendly', but not intended for children riding alone.
When you participate in the Ride for Refuge, your team captain selects the charity to which you'll be directing all of your fundraising.
We've got over 200 amazing registered charities for you to choose from!
Click below to see the full list.
Joggers will be asked to head to the front of the line and head out first.
Absolutely! Feel free to bring your little ones along in a stroller or wagon.
No, sorry - to keep our walkers and joggers as safe as possible, the only wheels allowed on the walk route are strollers, wagons or wheelchairs.
No - to keep everyone safe, we want only walkers on the WALK route, and only bicycles on the RIDE route.
Anything pushed or pulled by parents on the walk route (strollers, wagons) is permitted. For the safety of our walkers, children may not ride the walk route. Bikes, longboards, skateboards, etc are not permitted. Wheelchairs are, of course, permitted on the walk route.
To facilitate our processing of these donations, you must EITHER:
If you choose to enter all money under the Captain's account, when your team arrives on RIDE Day, just explain to the registration volunteer that your total is meant to help all members on your team reach their minimums.
Simply add in five zeroes (00000) as the postal code, and the donation page should allow you to continue - if you're still having trouble, please contact our offices and we would be more than happy to help!
You sure can.
Any donations $20 or more will generate a tax receipt - including donations you make to your own fundraising page.
A: Yes you can. Cheques made out to "RIDE for Refuge" should include participant name on the memo line. Be sure to add them online in the fundraising hub too. Print off your 'my results form' and send the pledge forms in with any cheques.

Tired Teacher
Tired teacher.
What are you tired of?
I think I know.
The way you sat there,
The way you stared,
The way you snapped out,
Made me worry.
I wish they would stop
But they never do.
Tired teacher,
I want you to realize
This class is worth teaching,
But I don't know how.
Tired teacher,
I want to write you
A masterpiece,
A masterpiece
For my tired teacher
So maybe you won't be
Tired of this class.
I feel bad for you,
You poor, poor teacher,
I hesitate right now.
Just please,
Don't go away.
Tired teacher,

John Douglas Louis Veale, composer: born Shortlands, Kent 15 June 1922; married 1944 Diana Taylor (one son, one daughter, and one daughter deceased; marriage dissolved 1972); died Bromley, Kent 16 November 2006.
John Veale's career as a composer spanned half a century, including notable film scores, but was interrupted by a period when his lyricism was critically unacceptable. A succession of striking late scores was crowned by the large-scale Violin Concerto and populist Third Symphony, the latter soon to be broadcast by the BBC.
He was born in 1922 at Shortlands, Kent, the son of Sir Douglas Veale, for 30 years Registrar of Oxford University. The family moved to Oxford in the late 1920s and Veale's education was a typical middle-class one of the time, at the Dragon School followed by Repton and then, during the Second World War, Corpus Christi College, Oxford, where he read History. Subsequent army service found him in the Education Corps.
Veale reminisced that it was while working as a farm labourer in the "truly glorious summer" of 1940 that "the notion of musical composition as the focus of my life finally crystallised in my mind". He studied music with Egon Wellesz while he was an undergraduate, later returning to him after he was demobbed.
During the latter period he wrote incidental music for Ouds, including Anthony Besch's 1947 production of Love's Labour's Lost, featuring his fellow students Kenneth Tynan and Lindsay Anderson. Later Oxford productions with Veale's music included Maxwell Anderson's Winterset and Nevill Coghill's The Masque of Hope.
Veale said that he got on very well with Wellesz on a personal level, but was completely out of sympathy with him as a composer: "I took nothing from Wellesz except his very clear explanation of the techniques of Mahler, Strauss and Schoenberg." Perhaps more important was William Walton's enthusiastic encouragement. "I did not study with Walton," said Veale: "I don't think he had any students, but he was very helpful."
Later an American Commonwealth Fellowship allowed him to study in the United States from 1949-51. Typical of such arrangements, Veale's application was made in haste and without any real knowledge of his destination, and he opted to study for one year with the composer Roger Sessions. When, after the first year, a renewal of the scholarship became a possibility, Veale chose Roy Harris, seeing Harris, with his wide-spanning modal polyphony and triadic harmony, as Sessions's direct opposite. Veale thus became possibly Harris's only British pupil, a unique influence not only felt in his works of the time, but still in evidence in his own Third Symphony, his last work.
In 1947 Veale had worked for the Crown Film Unit writing mood music, which, conducted by John Hollingsworth, was not for any specific film, but rather for library use as required. Consequently its composer never knew where his music was actually used. A junior research fellowship at Oxford from 1951 to 1953 followed his American study. Yet Veale was soon able to become a full-time professional composer, celebrated in the 1950s for his film music, writing for such movies as The Purple Plain (1954), The Spanish Gardener (1955), High Tide at Noon (1956) and Portrait of Alison (1956).
In those days film scores did not have the independent critical cachet they do now, and when many years later his film company asked Veale to send them the scores he did so. "I was naïve," he admitted ruefully:
I just sent them, although they were unique manuscripts, and the film company promptly destroyed them. That's the only reason they wanted them!
Thus, although he was, briefly, a leading name in 1950s film music, Veale lost his capability of easily responding to the later vogue for film scores, and to have them played and recorded.
Veale originally sketched his First Symphony in 1944, while he was in the Army and about the time he was first married, and it reflects the period when doodle-bugs began to fall across England. The symphony was completed in 1947, and first performed by the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra conducted by George Weldon in 1948. Revised, it was taken up by Sir John Barbirolli and the Hallé at the Cheltenham Festival in 1952. Veale had an increasing pattern of early successes, including an evocative portrait of San Francisco, the Bay and the Golden Gate Bridge, which he called Panorama, introduced by Boult and the LPO in 1951 and heard at the Proms in 1955.
Veale's first child, Jane, died in 1951 at the age of four, and he wrote an Elegy for flute, harp and strings in her memory. It was taken up by the flautist Richard Adeney with Maria Korchinska and the Boyd Neel String Orchestra. There was also a String Quartet (1952) played by the Amici String Quartet and a concert overture, Metropolis, in 1955 given at the Royal Festival Hall by the London Symphony Orchestra conducted by Sir Charles Groves. Also with the LSO, Veale's engaging Clarinet Concerto of 1954 was played by Sidney Fell under the baton of Sir Malcolm Sargent.
He was thus being played by the leading musicians of the day, and a significant career as a composer seemed to be in prospect. In 1959 BBC forces gave the premiere of his bold choral setting of Coleridge's poem "Kubla Khan".
However, like many another composer working in a tonal idiom at that time, Veale became persona non grata, particularly in BBC circles, almost overnight, as a consequence of the avant-garde revolution engendered by Sir William Glock's appointment as Director of Music at the BBC. There followed "12 bleak years of creative sterility", when he nearly gave up composing, received almost no performances and was forgotten by his 1950s audience. His last orchestral score at that time was the four-movement Second Symphony, completed in 1965.
With a family to support, Veale became a journalist on the Oxford Mail, where he was film critic. A lifelong sympathy with organised labour found him doggedly refusing to return to work after a newspaper strike in the late 1970s and he was sacked. He subsequently became a copy editor at the Oxford University Press.
Nineteen eighty-four saw his return to composition and the completion of the colourful Song of Radha for soprano and orchestra and a romantic large-scale violin concerto which he had started in 1982. By chance I was able to recommend the concerto to the BBC Philharmonic Orchestra in 1986 when they had an unexpected gap in their schedule, and it was taken up enthusiastically by the violinist Eric Gruenberg. It was so well received by the orchestra they followed it with Veale's latest work, the brilliant Demos Variations. The composer seemed to find new inspiration and returned to composition. The concerto was recorded by Lydia Mordkovitch for Chandos in November 2000 and issued in 2001 to a warm critical response.
A succession of orchestral and other works followed, including the dramatic Apocalypse (at first entitled Where Was God?) for chorus and orchestra, Triune for oboe, cor anglais and orchestra (1993) and a Third Symphony (completed in 1997 but only orchestrated just before his eyesight deteriorated in his last years) which was recorded by the BBC Concert Orchestra conducted by Barry Wordsworth earlier this year but is yet to be broadcast. The bold lines of the one-movement symphony seem to be looking back to his American journey so many years before.
Veale's last years were possibly his most frustrating, as his health and his eyesight deteriorated, and the cancer from which he eventually died took hold. Yet very slowly performances began to accrue. These were started by an Australian friend, Max Keogh, who commissioned, broadcast and recorded three atmospheric choral pieces, Sydney Street Scenes and Encounter for two guitars, followed by the issue of the recording of his Violin Concerto in 2001 and the BBC's broadcast of the first symphony, Metropolis and Panorama.
A keen amateur ornithologist and astronomer, John Veale was very much a community activist in his village near Oxford, and he often said his proudest achievement outside music was succeeding in leading the "Flashers Campaign" which resulted in the removal of the powerful night-time lights on the Benchley Radio Mast near Oxford.

By Juan Lagorio, Reuters
The insurer also said on Monday that it would sell its U.K. subsidiary to Sun Life Financial of Canada for 195 million pounds ($319 million).
Lincoln stock fell.
U.S. life insurers have been weakened by the global financial crisis, hurt by investment losses and higher costs on investment-linked retirement products that guarantee returns.
In May the government declared six big insurers, including Lincoln, eligible for bailout funds under the Troubled Asset Relief Program. Lincoln said Monday that it would take $950 million by selling preferred stock to the Treasury. Hartford Financial Services Group (HIG) is taking up to $3.4 billion; the other four companies have declined to accept TARP funds.
Lincoln said it also plans to sell $600 million of common stock and up to $500 million of senior debt.
It may boost the stock offering to $690 million if there is sufficient demand. The sale could dilute the investment of current shareholders by 13%.
"They are trying to shore up what they understand ... and taking advantage of what has been made available to provide them a better position to weather any storm," said Michael Nix, portfolio manager of Greenwood Capital Associates.
"It puts them at a competitive disadvantage to those that do not need government assistance — just from the standpoint of not having the government overseeing them," he said.
Lincoln said half of the new money would go to fund Lincoln National Life Insurance. The remainder will go for general corporate purposes, including the repayment of short-term debt and investment in the company's core businesses.
Lincoln estimated proceeds of $280 million to $300 million, net of tax, from the sale of its U.K. unit. The deal is expected to close on or around Sept. 30, it said.
Lincoln has been working for months to head off a cash drain, slashing its dividend 95% in February and more recently reaching a reinsurance deal with
The insurer has also paid down debt, reducing financial leverage.
Lincoln shares are down 13% this year, while the Dow Jones U.S. life insurance index has fallen 12%.

Happily Ever After
Running, cold branches crackling everywhere around me,
the sound of my ragged breath fills my head,
heart pounding wildly, hands trembling from fear
running away from the sounds of his feet following.
Eyes scanning, searching, bursting with tears
running down my cheeks like water caressing a fountain.
A victim lost in a darkness that stole my heart and left fear behind,
love fiercely twisted into something far from love.
How could it come down to this, all tattered and torn?
Love has betrayed me, stealing away my happily ever after,
leaving my dreams shattered like fine glass crumbled under his feet,
and I know that I shall never love again.

Today I am sharing all about the online quilt class- Garden of Quilted Possibilities and the wonderful world of Craftsy and there's a giveaway included!
First off- Craftsy is the place where you can find online quilting and sewing classes {along with a variety of other topics}. There are patterns or shops, {check out mine here} projects pages, forums, kits, supplies and more!
Craftsy is a great place to go for information, patterns, and learning- from beginner to advanced. There is definitely something for everyone.
Enter to win this Craftsy Class here!
The Garden of Quilted Possibilities is loaded with lots of great techniques andinstruction. I love the idea of saving my place in the video, moving forward or reviewing a concept. Very user friendly and adaptable to my learning style. Let me tell you a little bit about the class–
This class starts off with Edyta's inspiration for her quilts…including where she got her fabric from {a friend swap} and why there is a scissor appliqued in the corner of one quilt. It's great to get her take on inspiration and what she enjoys about quilting.
I love her rule of 5. Big Print, Medium Print, Small Print, Polka Dot, and Stripe. I have never thought of this when choosing fabrics. I am sooo planning on using this in the future! What a great idea.
Edyta dives right in with simple projects that cover different techniques.
What You'll Learn~
The projects include: letter and words table runner– piecing letters, flower patch wall hanging– different kind of stitches for applique, and a dresden plate quilt block- learn templates, arches, sashing and finishing. It does get a big tricky with the last project, but with the videos and area for you to ask questions- it's a great place to start something new!

Experiment opens door for quantum encryption
Researchers at the Institute of Quantum Optics and Quantum Information (IQOQI), the University of Vienna, and the Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona have achieved a new milestone in quantum physics: they were able to entangle three particles of light in a high-dimensional quantum property related to the "twist" of their wavefront structure. Just like Schrödinger's famous cat that is simultaneously dead and alive, all previous demonstrations of multi-particle entanglement have been with quantum objects in two discrete levels, or dimensions.
The twisted photons used in the Vienna experiment have no such limit to their dimensionality, and can simultaneously exist in three or more quantum states. The three-photon entangled state created by the Vienna group breaks this previous record of dimensionality, and brings to light a new form of asymmetric entanglement that has not been observed before. The results from their experiment appear in the journal Nature Photonics.
Entanglement is a counterintuitive property of quantum physics that has long puzzled scientists and philosophers alike. Entangled quanta of light seem to exert an influence on each other, irrespective of how much distance is between them. Consider for example a metaphorical quantum ice dancer, who has the uncanny ability to pirouette both clockwise and counter-clockwise simultaneously. A pair of entangled ice-dancers whirling away from each other would then have perfectly correlated directions of rotation: If the first dancer twirls clockwise then so does her partner, even if skating in ice rinks on two different continents. "The entangled photons in our experiment can be illustrated by not two, but three such ice dancers, dancing a perfectly synchronized quantum mechanical ballet," explains Mehul Malik, the first author of the paper. "Their dance is also a bit more complex, with two of the dancers performing yet another correlated movement in addition to pirouetting.
This type of asymmetric quantum entanglement has been predicted before on paper, but we are the first to actually create it in the lab."
From fundamentals to applications: Layered quantum cryptography
The scientists created their three-photon entangled state by using yet another quantum mechanical trick: they combined two pairs of high-dimensionally entangled photons in such a manner that it became impossible to ascertain where a particular photon came from. Besides serving as a test bed for studying many fundamental concepts in quantum mechanics, multi-photon entangled states such as these have applications ranging from quantum computing to quantum encryption.
Along these lines, the authors of this study have developed a new type of quantum cryptographic protocol using their state that allows different layers of information to be shared asymmetrically among multiple parties with unconditional security. "The experiment opens the door for a future quantum Internet with more than two partners and it allows them to communicate more than one bit per photon," says Anton Zeilinger.
Many technical challenges remain before such a quantum communication protocol becomes a practical reality. However, given the rapid progress in quantum technologies today, it is only a matter of time before this type of entanglement finds a place in the quantum networks of the future.

According to researchers, today's biogas production is not very efficient – only 30 to 40 per cent of organic matter is converted into biogas – when compared to other energy sources. "The first tests conducted with BiogàsPlus demonstrated that product increases up to 200% the production of this combustible gas.
Researchers of the Catalan Institute of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology (ICN2), a Severo Ochoa Centre of Excellence, and the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona (UAB) have developed the new BiogàsPlus, a technology which allows increasing the production of biogas by 200% with a controlled introduction of iron oxide nanoparticles to the process of organic waste treatment.
The development of BiogàsPlus was carried out by the ICN2's Inorganic Nanoparticle group, led by ICREA researcher Víctor Puntes, and by the Group of Organic Solid Waste Composting of the UAB School of Engineering, directed by Antoni Sánchez.
The system is based on the use of iron oxide nanoparticles as an additive which "feeds" the bacteria in charge of breaking down organic matter. This additive substantially increases the production of biogas and at the same time transforms the iron nanoparticles into innocuous salt.
"We believe we are offering a totally innovative approach to the improvement of biogas production and organic waste treatment, since this is the first nanoparticle application developed with this in mind. In addition, it offers a significant improvement in the decomposition of organic waste when compared to existing technologies", explains Antoni Sánchez.
According to researchers, today's biogas production is not very efficient – only 30 to 40 per cent of organic matter is converted into biogas – when compared to other energy sources. "The first tests conducted with BiogàsPlus demonstrated that product increases up to 200% the production of this combustible gas. This translates into a profitable and sustainable solution to the processing of organic waste, thus favouring the use of this renewable source of energy", affirms Eudald Casals, ICN2 researcher participating in the project.
At the moment, BiogàsPlus has been successfully applied in cellulose and mud found in urban treatment plants, but it also can be used in different anaerobic digestions, such as agricultural, industrial or urban waste treatments.
"Now the challenge lies in extrapolating the technology to digesters with capacity for hundreds of cubic metres. This would allow using it in large-scale anaerobic digestion processes around the world, thereby greatly increasing the production of biogas, a renewable energy which is growing steadily and is accessible to everyone", Antoni Sánchez explains.

A battle.
Toroth gripped his sword and charged after Desmond and Kye drawing as he runs. The first enemy he run into is cleaved in half from the sheer wieght of the blade. Toroth spun around and sliced through another enemy. There was so many. Toroth couldn't see his companions.
" Oh well just have deal with all of you a little faster." He muttered standing his ground.
Not allowing one enemy to have chance to slice him through. He contined to perry duck dodge slice. But it seemed endless. He began to back up the hill to find his companions. Kye and desmond had the enemy stepping backwards. He couldn't see the gargolye but he should be fine seeing that he can never die. Toroth decided to attack from the side that was trying to flan Desmond and Kye posistion. He charged back done slicing through the enemy. For someone who doesn't deal to much with large hordes he seemed to be doing fine. When he got Kye's and desmonds position there where surround by enemys. Toroth acting like a total ammuture charged without any battle plan.
He chopped through enemy leaving a small gap to exit through But then realized He was getting surrounded himself.
" There so many." Toroth said blocking a giant axe from cutting him down.
" Fool." Desmond muttered.
" Fool! I am no fool. I will get us out!" Toroth yelled, as magic began to encircle him.
His reflexes, speed , strength , and reflexes improved. At the cost of not using the magic to cast powerful defensice spells but his stronger combat abilities could possibly compensate.

SB 1070 Ruling Has Both Sides Claiming Victory
PHOENIX, Ariz. – Lawmakers on both sides of the political divide in Arizona are claiming victory following Monday's Supreme Court ruling on the state's immigration law known as SB 1070.
"This morning, the U.S. Supreme Court sent a loud message to the governor and the members of the State Legislature: 'You have overstepped your bounds, you have gone too far when it comes to dealing with immigration in Arizona," said Democratic Senator Steve Gallardo. "Immigration is a federal issue and has to be dealt with on a federal level."
In a 5-3 ruling, the court struck down several parts of what has come to be known as the "Papers, Please" law, including the controversial provision making it a felony to be in the state without documentation. It upheld, however, one portion granting police the right to inquire about the immigration status of anyone they suspect of being undocumented.
Governor Jan Brewer, who signed SB 1070 into law more than two years ago, called Monday's ruling a "victory."
Groups like the American Civil Liberties Union and the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund say the decision will lead to increased racial profiling of communities of color. Both are planning legal challenges to SB 1070.
There are also concerns about repercussions from the court's decision in states with similar legislation.
"It's sad to know that I'll be on the street and I'll be afraid of the police," said Iveth Rodríguez, a 27-year-old undocumented immigrant. "I'm afraid that because of the color of my skin and being Mexican they'll try to stop me."
Rodriguez came to the country when she was 18 years old, meaning she is not entitled to the deferred action granted by President Obama earlier this month for undocumented immigrants under 30.
"Everything they announced today in the court, we are already living through," she said.
For some, the news has helped to strengthen activists' resolve to protect immigrants' rights.
Patricia Rosas is an undocumented immigrant working with Promesa Arizona, which helps inform and engage voters on the issue of immigration.
"Now we're really going to boycott Arizona," said Rosa, part of a growing movement of undocumented immigrants participating in the civic process. Other organizations active in immigration politics include the Barrio Defense Committees, which are working across the state to empower immigrant communities.
Promesa Arizona is one of several organizations behind a campaign seeking to oust Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio – known for his harsh anti-immigrant crackdowns – in the state's upcoming elections.
The "Adios Arpaio" campaign is looking to register more than 30,000 new Latino voters and grow a young team of more than 600 volunteers, said Petra Falcón, Promesa Arizona director.
Arpaio, who is a facing a civil suit brought by the Department of Justice accusing him of racial profiling, said the Supreme Court decision upheld the most important part of SB 1070.
"This is a good day," said Randy Parraz, co-founder of Citizens for a Better Arizona (CBA), the bipartisan group that led the drive to recall SB 1070 author Senator Russell Pearce. "The only way to get justice is for people like ourselves to organize on the ground. Arpaio is done in November."
Monday's ruling also coincided with an announcement from the Obama administration that it plans to cancel all 287(g) agreements in Arizona. The agreements allow local law enforcement to be trained by the federal government in identifying and assisting with the removal of undocumented immigrants.
Governor Brewer criticized the timing of the announcement.
"Of course, it is no coincidence that this announcement comes immediately on the heels of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling upholding the constitutionality of the heart of Arizona's anti-illegal immigration law, SB 1070," she said in a statement.
"It appears the only agreements eliminated today were those in Arizona, the state that happens to be on the front lines of America's fight against illegal immigration. We are on our own, apparently," she added.
"We knew 287(g) was on the way to being fazed out and replaced by Secure Communities," said Carlos Garcia, an activist with the PUENTE Movement. "We won't be fooled by this president, we won't play games. We know Secure Communities and other ICE programs will continue to deport members of our community."
Groups like PUENTE are calling for the Obama administration to stop the deportation of families and youth. "If Obama doesn't participate with Arizona and Arpaio, the abuse and the deportations end," Garcia said.
Posted Jun 26 2012
I like what MALDEF Exec. Director Tom Saenz had to say in response to the anti-immigrant voices claiming a victory from the ruling: "Every schoolchild knows that a report card showing three 'F's and one 'Incomplete', together with plenty of negative commentary and dire future warnings from your teachers, is not remotely a victory or occasion for boasting or pride of any kind.
He went on to say that Arizona residents should be outraged by the irresponsibility of lawmakers and their advisors who spent millions and dedicated tax-payer paid time to this effort. The provision upheld by SCOTUS is still under review and will be challenged now on the basis of it's encouragement of racial profiling.

Let the good crystal ball roll
I have been reading everyone's opinion on what is going to happen in 2012, and it is pretty obvious, really. The best bet for anyone professing crystal ball-reading skills is to say that current trends will continue, so the safest forecast for 2012 is this:
I have been reading everyone's opinion on what is going to happen in 2012, and it is pretty obvious, really. The best bet for anyone professing crystal ball-reading skills is to say that current trends will continue, so the safest forecast for 2012 is this:- Europe muddles through much as it is, without collapse or solution.- Global growth stagnates.- US economy baselines but doesn't decisively recover.- China continues to loosen policy with the risk to growth on the unimpressive side.- Interest rates globally remain close to zero and hit 3.5 per cent in Australia.- The $A holds above or around parity as it reflects the relative strengths of the Australian and US economies in Australia's favour.In this scenario everyone would be doing the same things they did this year in equities: exit completely in favour of term deposits dabble in bonds and hybrids buy and hold anything with a reliable earnings' base and high yield (utilities, Telstra), or buy defensive stocks like healthcare, Ansell, Coca-Cola and Woolworths. Oh, and continue to hold banks because we always have and always will, whatever their share prices do.The danger areas will continue to be resources that rely on China, commodities, hope, optimism and capital raisings. Dishonourable mentions go to print media and retailers as they struggle to meet the internet.Big Australian companies will continue to access previously unavailable billions in long-term debt through international bond issues at less than 4 per cent, setting up their balance sheets for the next decade. Others will opportunistically tap the retail market with "note" issues that are snapped up as proxies for term deposits (which they are not, but who is bothering to do analyses these days when a big fat yield is involved?).The other certainty is that the market will continue to be very volatile. Until the European situation is resolved, everyone will continue to focus on risk rather than reward.In a normal market, reward (profits) change gradually and predictably, and a market priced on rewards moves progressively and almost predictably without shock. However, a market focused on risk is not progressive, nor predictable, because risk can change massively in very short periods and this is where we are at.The market is being priced on the risk of European collapse versus European solution. It is such a dynamic variable that you simply cannot do much until it is resolved. Plus, with the global financial crisis so fresh in people's minds, every long-term investor is going to stay on the sidelines until this unknown is known.Any forecaster arrogant enough to call the outcome can be rightly declared more of a gambler than a prophet.So that is the "likely" outcome for 2012. Boring stuff. The bottom line is that Europe is a huge risk and not knowing has killed interest in the stockmarket and will continue to plague it until one of two possible headlines unfold:- "Europe collapses." This will create the biggest buying opportunity in decades. There is a mighty rally as certainty returns and historically high yields and low price-earnings ratios are raided by long-term investors.- "Europe prints money, collapse averted." After a short and sharp rally in sentiment, we suffer the death of a thousand cuts as the US, Europe and, ultimately, Asia come to terms with half the world operating zombie economies. Either way the message is "wait for it". The moment there is certainty, you buy.Other 2012 implausibles:- Australian government admits 2013 budget surplus will not be hit.- Greece does not default on its 50 per cent of outstanding bonds.- Barack Obama is re-elected.- Angela Merkel smiles.- The euro booms.- Gold shows its colours as a store of value, rather than a speculative hedge fund-driven commodity.- Australia's investment property market soars as buyers gear up.- Stockbroker lists on the ASX.- Stockbroker admits that recommending quality stocks with a high return on equity, strong free cash flow, proven management, reliable earnings streams, a strong balance sheet, high payout ratio and a proven track record is just a ploy to get an order in a bear market.That's about it then. It's been a tough one but not that tough. Thank goodness our land abounds in nature's gifts. Where else would you rather be?

'''How does it work?'''
Rock climbing is nothing more than you, a rock wall (or a gym wall) and a goal which you and your instructor will move up as you learn and strengthen your body. Today's climbs are mostly 'free-climbs', where the equipment is used as protection and the climber uses his/her strength alone to overcome the challenge, as opposed to 'aid-climbing', where the gear is moved and reweighted to climb up; aid-climbing is still the most used way to climb a big wall. Climbs are either outdoors, on varying types of rock, or indoors on specialized climbing walls, born to offer climbers a place to practice during bad weather months
'''Is it for me?'''
Regardless of the venue, rock climbing is a physically and mentally challenging sport that will test your mental balance along with strength, endurance and agility. Knowledge of the right technique and equipment needed for your climb is crucial. You need to be in good shape and health to start climbing even as a beginner: if you have back, neck or knee injuries, you'll find this is not the sport for you due to the prolonged muscle strain. Age and sex are not an issue as long as you have the upper body strength to match your weight, as you are physically lifting yourself up a wall.
'''Good to know'''
Although indoors rock climbing is often described as an alternative and secondary option to outdoor climbing, many climbers see it as only an excursion from the gym. For this reason, indoor climbing should not be classified as a secondary discipline, as it is a competitive sport, governed by local, national and international organizations throughout the world.

Storm brewing over Muirfield's men-only golf membership
A storm is brewing at Muirfield. Not of the weather variety that sent scores soaring in the third round when the British Open was last held there in 2002. It's the storm that once erupted at Augusta National for the Masters before it had female members and made a brief showing when the Open was held at Royal St George's two years ago.
Muirfield is one of three courses on the Open rotation - Royal Troon and Royal St George's are the others - that have a men-only membership, which has been criticised as being out-of-touch and damaging to the staid reputation of the sport.
The Royal & Ancient Golf Club, which runs the British Open and itself is a men-only membership organisation, isn't budging. And the topic likely will get even more attention this week when golf's oldest championship returns to Muirfield, where women are allowed to play and have access to its facilities. But they cannot be members.
Some prominent politicians won't be attending this year's event in protest. "I just think it's indefensible in the 21st century not to have a golf club that's open to all," said Scottish First Minister Alex Salmond, a huge golf fan who played a round with Phil Mickelson in the pro-am before the Scottish Open this week.
Two British government members - Maria Miller, the culture, media and sport secretary, and Sports Minister Hugh Robertson - have also turned down invitations to attend.
"I would really encourage the R&A, when they next come to allocate the Open, to look at this, simply because of the message that it sends out," Robertson said. "It just looks very, very out of touch and old fashioned in the post-Olympic era."
Members of the R&A, notably chief executive Peter Dawson, are to face the media tomorrow for its annual news conference. Dawson has defended the decision of his organisation to select Muirfield, formally known as the Honourable Company of Edinburgh Golfers, as the host of the 2013 Open.
"I don't deny my job would be made a lot easier if this issue didn't exist; that's self-evident," Dawson said in April. "But one might choose to respect the wishes of members of these clubs, which are virtually unanimous in a place like St Andrews, that the status quo works extremely well for them."
