The Bali Chapter of the Association of Indonesian Travel Agents (ASITA) is recommending to the Department of Air Communications that they open more direct air access between Europe and Bali.As reported by Beritabali.com, this recommendation is being made by ASITA in order to increase tourism visits to Bali. The Bali Chapter of the organization of professional travel agents believes that the strong desire among Europeans to visit Bali is currently being thwarted by the lack of direct flights.The Chairman of ASITA Bali, Al Purwa, underlined the importance of European travelers to Bali's economy given their higher rate of relative daily spending and length of stay of between one week and one month.Explained Purwa, "First, they (the Europeans) come form long distances. If someone flies a long distance they tend to stay longer at the destination." Purwa is optimistic that if direct flights between Europe and Bali are increased, Bali will be able to attract 2.5 million foreign visitors in 2010. The official target for foreign visitors to Bali in 2010 is 2.2 million.

Latino voters have become a major force in American politics, especially in the Democratic primary. Although these Spanish-language ads from Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama are similar in theme to the two presidential candidates' other TV spots, the music adds a little sabor.
Beyond the soundtracks, the ads have some differences.
Hillary's commercial seeks to play up the idea that she is a friend to the Latino community—the title of the ad is "nuestra amiga"—while Barack's reminds the viewer that he is the son of an immigrant.
Oh, and one of them delivers the "I approve this message" line en español, but you'll have to watch to find out who.

Our piece of paradise is 27 acres of red fertile soil that allows us to grow and produce premium quality food for our visitors to savor. You can visit the Green Olive at Red Hill Farm Shop and enjoy the surrounds while eating and drinking some of the finest food the Mornington Peninsula has to offer.
We grow olives, grapes, herbs and veggies, raise sheep and chooks and turn amazing produce from local farmers into a range of goodies you'll love. Green Olive at Red Hill is a family business – we are; Greg and Sue O'Donoghue, our children Sam and Sophie, three Kelpies (Inca, Rasa & Indi), one Maremma (Pisa), 40 sheep, 60 chooks and Indian Runner Ducks!
We capture all our own water and store it in large above ground tanks. All irrigation for the farm comes from the large dam that collects water from the natural spring and general water runoff. All waste water is processed naturally in an aeration treatment plant and then irrigated onto the paddocks through subsurface irrigation.
All kitchen leftovers are fed to our chooks or composted with chook manure then returned to the garden. Our paper waste is shredded and composted. Where possible we reduce the need for glass and plastic containers, but if we do use them they are commercially recycled.
Almost all our cooking is done in our woodfire oven, with wood collected from fallen timber on the property or, if necessary, specially sourced plantation timber. Installed on the roof of the Farm Shop are photovoltaic panels to generate a large portion of our power.

Liberty Earns Key Conference Win Over Coastal Carolina
Liberty kept its hopes of claiming a top six seed for the Big South Championship alive on Thursday, edging Coastal Carolina, 61-57, inside the Vines Center.
The Flames victory over the Chanticleers snaps Coastal Carolina's five-game winning streak against Liberty. Prior to the Thursday's win, Liberty's last victory over the Chanticleers occurred on Feb. 16, 2009, when the Flames bested Coastal Carolina, 85-82. Liberty now leads the all-time series, 26-23.
After starting the season 0-6 in conference play, Liberty (13-17, 8-9 Big South) has won eight of its last 11 league matchups, including four straight contests. With the defeat, Coastal Carolina falls to 18-10 on the season and 11-6 in conference action.
David Minaya led the Flames with a game-high 18 points. Joel Vander Pol had a solid night, recording 13 points and six rebounds. The performance marks the 6-10 center's first double-digit scoring contest since recording a career-high 20 points against Campbell (Dec. 20) earlier in the season. Tavares Speaks rounded out Liberty's trio of double-digit scorers with 12 tallies, while Jesse Sanders had six points, nine rebounds and 11 assists.
Kierre Greenwood led the Chanticleers with 16 points, followed by Anthony Raffa (15) and Chris Gradnigo (11).
Entering the night averaging 49.0 percent from the field, Coastal Carolina was held to 35.7 (20-of-56) percent by the Liberty defense. The Chanticleers managed to find rhythm from behind the three-point arc, shooting 53.8 percent (7-of-13) from long range.
Liberty shot 47.2 percent (25-of-53) from the field, marking its fifth straight contest shooting over 45.0 percent. The Flames edged Coastal Carolina on the glass, 37-34. Liberty also outscored the Chanticleers in the paint (24-18), off turnovers (13-3) and off the bench (20-5).
Sam McLaurin put the Chanticleers on the board first with a layup. A three-point shootout between Minaya and Gradinigo ensued over the next 4:05. Minaya knocked down the first trey at 17:53 to put the Flames ahead, while Gradnigo responded on the other end 15 ticks later to give Coastal Carolina a two-point advantage. Minaya answered at the 15:37 mark with his second trey of the game, but Gradnigo again countered 11 seconds later with a trey to regain the early lead for Coastal Carolina at 8-6.
Liberty began to heat up from the field over the next 3:56, going on an 11-0 run. Antwan Burrus started the burst with a layup. After jumpers from Minaya and Speaks, Jesse Sanders knocked down his 15th trey of the season. Vander Pol christened the run with a tip-in at 10:29 to put the Flames ahead by nine points. Dexter Moore halted Liberty's momentum with a three-pointer, to make it a six-point game, 17-11, with 9:36 remaining.
Vander Pol continued to provide offense for the Flames, connecting on a dunk, courtesy of an alley-oop from Jesse Sanders, giving Liberty an eight-point advantage. Coastal Carolina continued to chip away at bulge with three-pointers by Raffa and Greenwood. The Greenwood trey knotted the contest, 23-23, at the 5:38 mark.
The Chanticleers regained the lead with a McLaurin free throw and held on to the advantage for the remainder of the half. John Caleb Sanders posted the last basket of the period, driving to the hoop and scoring a layup to put Liberty within a point of the Chanticleers at halftime, 29-28.
Liberty shot 41.4 percent in the first half, hitting 12-of-29 shots. The Chanticleers finished the period shooting 37.0 percent from the field overall (10-of-27). However, the visitors concluded the half on 62.5 percent shooting from three-point land, nailing 5-of-8 shots from behind the arc. Liberty outscored Coastal Carolina, 12-4, in the paint and capitalized on points off turnovers, 8-3.
Scoring eight of Liberty's first 10 points, Minaya led all scorers with 10 at the half, followed by Joel Vander Po, who had eight. Raffa paced the Chanticleers with seven points, while Gradnigo and Greenwood had six apiece.
The second half began with a back-and-forth battle, as the two squads traded baskets for the first four minutes. Vander Pol bucked the trend at 15:02, giving the Flames a three-point lead with a tip-in. Greenwood erased the cushion with a three-pointer, but Vander Pol answered on the other end with a traditional three-point play at 13:31, making it 39-36 in favor of the Flames.
Coastal Carolina tied the contest at 39 just over a minute later. With game knotted at 46 with 7:54 remaining, Liberty posted four straight points, creating a small cushion. After the Flames received buckets from Minaya and Speaks, Raffa cut it to a pair points with two made free throws. Liberty followed by going on a 6-0 burst off, Minaya and Speaks baskets to up it lead to eight points, 56-48, with 3:48 remaining.
The Chanticleers climbed within two points with 29 ticks left ,thanks to Gradnigo's third three-pointer of the night. With Carolina forced to foul late, Liberty made two free throws from the line to hang on for the 61-57 victory.
Coastal Carolina heads to Lexington, Va. to close out conference play, squaring off with VMI at 1 p.m.
Liberty concludes its regular season in the Vines Center on Saturday, playing host to Campbell at 7 p.m. The Flames clash with the Camels airs live on MASN.

She tells me it won't hurt, that none of her clients, mainly Bay Street suits, have ever screamed. And she tells me that the most painful movie scene in the history of man - the one in The 40-Year-Old Virgin where the titular character howls in agony after having his chest hair torn off with a wax strip - was done all wrong.
"That was a demonstration of exactly what not to do," assures Ashley Cox, a manager at The Men's PowerSpa in Toronto, as she uses a tongue depressor to spread a layer of blue goop, warmed to body temperature, over my left pectoral. The goop is chamomile wax. "It's soothing ... calming," the petite 21-year-old says.
Soon she starts patting an eight-inch cotton strip over the goop with latex gloves. I see her pinch the end of the strip and raise her elbow, like a gunslinger ready to draw. I dig my fingernails into the foam mattress, determined not to be the first screamer.
Torture has become a hallmark of modern male grooming. After decades of gazing at magazine covers and sports competitions featuring ripped, hairless models of the male form, the average man has given up the hope that the Burt Reynolds type will ever again be a sex symbol. And so we are manscaping - snipping, shaving, waxing and burning away our weedy thickets of body hair.
"For men, hair removal has become the equivalent of putting on a suit," says Peter Papapetrou, a Toronto fashion stylist. "There's something very polished about it. The perfect male form has that smooth look and the average guy is taking notice."
Grooming companies are catching on. Last month, Philips Norelco launched the Bodygroom, an electric shaver designed for trimming delicate male bits south of the Adam's apple, in Canada.
In the United States, the Bodygroom has become the company's second-most popular grooming product.
There's also depilatory cream for men, waxing strips for men and even a Bodygroom competitor - the Mangroomer, an electric shaver on a stick designed for those hard-to-reach tufts.
And for those who have hang-ups about hovering reciprocating metal blades over their own nether regions, male-only spas have found homes in every major city.
"A day doesn't go by that someone doesn't come in for hair removal," says Ian Sutherland, owner of Mann, a male spa in Montreal. "They can be anyone from businessmen to construction workers."
At PowerSpa, male hair removal has become the most popular service after massage and hand treatments with requests ranging from back hair cleanup to the Boyzillian (the male Brazilian).
Such a frightening trend must undergo a proper journalistic audit. So, over the course of one day, I waxed, razored and doused with chemicals parts of my body from shoulder to knee. Yes, even those parts. Which brings me back to Ashley.
The only thing I remember after the sound of ripping flesh is a half-scream, half-groan I try so hard to muffle that I would wake the next morning with a sore jaw. Rivulets of blood burble up through empty follicles. "Not so bad, is it?" says Ashley.
"No, just burns a little," I lie.
"Now, did you just want your chest done, or your whole front side?" she says.
"Just the chest. Please just the chest." The rest I would save for myself.
Up until recently, most men would deny keeping any kind of manscaping routine while secretly turning razors and facial trimmers into rudimentary body mowers. My first brush with manscaping came in first year at Simon Fraser University when I started playing hockey in a Vancouver men's league. In the dressing room, I noticed that I was the hairiest one on the team. At age 18, I was also the youngest. Must be genetics, I thought.
That same year, I secretly began using my roommate's electric shaver on my beard. It worked well, until he caught me one day. "I use that to shave my nuts," he said between bursts of laughter. I finally grasped how common, and how secretive, the whole manscaping phenomenon had become.Report Typo/Error

Engaging the community : Limiting the road safety threats for novice drivers
Bates, Lyndel J. & Hansen, Robert (2004) Engaging the community : Limiting the road safety threats for novice drivers. In Third International Conference on Traffic and Transport Psychology, 5-9 September 2004, Nottingham, UK.
Published Version
(PDF 811kB)
Drivers and motorbike riders under the age of 25 are overrepresented in crashes throughout the world. In Queensland, Australia, they accounted for 14 per cent of road fatalities and 20 per cent of hospitalisations in the five years 1998 to 2002, when they were only 7 per cent of the actual state population. During 2003, the Travelsafe Committee of the Queensland Parliament examined methods for reducing crashes among this vulnerable group. After examining research from around the world, the committee identified a number of potential interventions for novice drivers. These included control of late night driving, passenger carrying limitations, restricting the power of cars and motorbikes, limiting towing, and reducing the maximum speed limit for novice drivers and riders. Other measures considered by the committee included re-introducing P-plates to identify drivers and riders in the intermediate licensing stage, rewards for offence-free driving/riding, and testing novice drivers and riders before they can 'exit' to a full licence.
The committee identified at a very early stage in their work that the imposition of additional restrictions on young drivers and riders and the resultant impact on the mobility of young people would be a contentious issue. The committee placed great importance on public consultation processes for the inquiry to encourage informed debate and to involve groups and individuals with differing views in their inquiries.
The committee used a participatory research methodology to engage with the key stakeholders including pre-drivers, novice drivers, parent groups, government agencies and youth groups in order to test their reaction as well as seek their input. This consultative process provided information regarding their current road user behaviour and possible changes to this behaviour. From the information gathered during this consultation, the committee made recommendations to parliament to enhance the road safety benefits for novice drivers.
The involvement of, and consultation with, the community ensured that the inquiry outcomes were more relevant to the people of Queensland and not merely a transplantation of ideas from the licensing systems of other jurisdictions to the Queensland driver and rider licensing systems.

plays the music you love
In early 2013 Giraffage released Needs, his second full-length album, which furthered his obsession with sensuous R&B and continued to hone his production skills. Yin took his live show to several music festivals, as well as opening for Phantogram on their fall 2013 American tour. He continued producing remixes of pop, dance, and R&B hits, and his 2014 remixes of R. Kelly's "Ignition (Remix)" and The-Dream's Love/Hate album created nearly as much of an online buzz as his original material. He opened for Porter Robinson during his 2014 North American tour, and released the No Reason EP on Fool's Gold Records toward the end of the year. The acclaimed release was later released on CD and 12" vinyl, the first physical release of Giraffage's music. The year 2015 saw the release of Giraffage's poppy "Impression of You" single (in collaboration with Viceroy and Patrick Baker) on Dim Mak Records, as well as the No Reason Remixes EP on Fool's Gold. ~ Paul Simpson

Castaway Lodge Seadrift Report
By Capt. Kris Kelley
Back Lakes Beat
It looks like the Redhead populations are finally thinning down as it looks like the last big wads have made the leap off the coast and heading inland. We saw very few yesterday and I suspect they're hooking them up North. We did see several pairs of nesting Whoopers dragging youngters with them. I think they'll probably be making a move North as well shortly.
On The Fishing Scene
We're entering the zone where these weather events from the North no longer become a "setback" but rather become a positive catalyst. Back lakes on the barrier island become the recipient of a rising water event on big winds from the North. That sends hungry schools of Trout, Reds, and Black Drum on a feeding frenzy. Trout and Black Drum looking to drop eggs in the comfort of warm mud/grass pockets have the comfort of a conveyor belt of forage for ambush as well.
We are seeing an upswing in schools of Black Drum intermixing with Redfish concentrations and many are egg laden "Pony Piglets" in the 17 to 24" range. I'm seeing some lone Trout in the mid to low 20's shallow as well darting around the shallows. This indicates that we are on track for some serious rod bending between mid-March and mid-April. We are a little short on water levels at this time and I'm thinking any water push is going to ignite solid fishing.

IT makes a play for MCG best-on-ground honours
Page Tools
The MCC's Clive Driscoll has been working hard to revamp the club's IT infrastructure. Photo: Melanie Faith Dove
New stands, bigger seats and more cover will see Melbourne's iconic cricket ground hit top form in time for next year's Commonwealth Games, but it isn't just the stadium that's getting a makeover.
The entire IT infrastructure, including the retail technology, of the Melbourne Cricket Club is also receiving a spruce-up.
More than 400 touch-screen point-of-sale terminals will replace 350 cash registers while access control and ticketing technology is also being renewed as part of the $400 million stadium upgrade, which will boost capacity to 100,000.
Clive Driscoll, general manager, finance and IT, for the Melbourne Cricket Club, says when he arrived in 2000 the finance and IT departments were in disarray. The operation was running on two old HP servers and some clones built in-house by a contractor, the club's only IT worker.
Mr Driscoll's first focus was to get the financial systems in order and compliant with board reporting requirements. So IT was allowed to continue as he found it for 18 months.
Once finance was sorted, Mr Driscoll says, it was IT's turn. The old cash registers need a lot of manual support.
"There might be 80,000 people at a match," he says. "Afterwards, the catering people would have to remove the paper rolls from each of 350 cash registers and go through them manually."
An annual managers' workshop looking at the club's business plans described the existing IT infrastructure as dysfunctional. After interviewing all key MCC workers, consultants Ernst & Young recommended pumping more money into IT while making it more responsible to the needs of the business.
The club employed an IT manager, a network administrator, project manager, database administrator and a business analyst. "Once we had our resources in place we were able to look at installing new hardware," Mr Driscoll says.
IBM, which won the point-of-sale tender, picked up the infrastructure upgrade project as well. "IBM is a very large company. You hear good things about them and you hear bad things," Mr Driscoll says. "We were impressed enough with their performance during the (point-of-sale) rollout to engage them for the rest of the hardware upgrade."
The club's membership system, developed in-house, was ported to the new IBM hardware. It is possible this may be moved onto an SQL Server platform in the future.
He says 35 per cent of the club's revenue comes from membership subscriptions - 92,000 members, and 150,000 people on the waiting list.
The club is seeking security accreditation under the Australian Standard AS7799 Information Security Management Framework. This certification, audited annually, is part of the club's IT governance strategy.
"Because of the nature of the industry, IT strategies have to evolve," Mr Driscoll says. "We started with a three-year strategy. We're only into the first year of that and we are already looking at modifying it - implementing new hardware that wasn't envisaged."
Organisations have to build their infrastructure at the bottom before they can provide meaningful information and data to the organisation he says.
"From that base we've been able to bounce off a number of other major projects - now we have a standard operating environment."
Next Lessons
Problem: Manual point-of-sale systems and obsolete infrastructure could not support new expanded capacity and improved services at the MCG and the Melbourne Cricket Club.
Process: New touchscreens and servers replaced old registers, clone PCs and ageing HP servers. A dedicated IT staff was employed to replace a lone casual worker.
Possibilities: The MCG and MCC will provide better customer service in time for next year's Commonwealth Games through improved management of information.

Midwest Thoroughbreds, Pletcher, and Dominguez among 2012 leaders
There were familiar names at the top of the list of the nation's leading owners, trainers and jockeys for earnings in 2012.
The Midwest Thoroughbreds operation of Richard Papiese, trainer Todd Pletcher and jockey Ramon Dominguez led their respective categories, repeating their accomplishments from 2011.
Midwest Thoroughbreds had 2012 earnings of $10,150,498, with 542 wins from 1,857 starters. In 2011, Midwest Thoroughbreds had seasonal earnings of $6,307,278, with 418 wins.
Midwest's win total also led the standings and was more than triple the next closest owner.
In 2012, Midwest Thoroughbreds did not have any graded stakes wins, but did win multiple stakes with Guam Typhoon and The Pizza Man.
Pletcher, 45, led all trainers for the third consecutive year, with stable earnings of $20,954,322. He won 233 races with 855 starters. Pletcher won Grade 1 races in 2012 in the United States with Dreaming of Julia, Gemologist, In Lingerie, Love and Pride, Shanghai Bobby, Stay Thirsty, Turbo Compressor, Turbulent Descent, and Violence.
In 2011, Pletcher's stable earned $17,186,956.
Jamie Ness, whose horses raced all along the Eastern seaboard, won more races than any other trainer, 396. It was the first time Ness led the nation in victories.
Dominguez's mounts earned $25,582,252 in 2012, well above the $20,264,822 that was good enough to lead the 2011 rankings. The earnings total broke the record of $23,354,960 set by Jerry Bailey in 2003. Dominguez won 341 races from 1,398 mounts in 2012. He won Grade 1 races in the United States in 2012 with Alpha, Dance Card, Desert Blanc, Get Stormy, Little Mike, Samitar, Stay Thirsty, and Tapitsfly.
Russell Baze, primarily based in Northern California, led all jockeys by wins with 374. It was the 12th time he led the nation in wins.
By finishing eighth in the 2012 North American jockey standings in mount earnings with more than $12.4 million, Rosie Napravnik established a record of sorts by eclipsing the best previous finish for a female jockey, when Hall of Famer Julie Krone was ninth in both 1988 and 1992. Her earnings total also was the most ever by a female jockey, eclipsing Krone's earnings in 1992 by over $3 million.
Fort Larned, who won the $5 million Breeders' Cup Classic at Santa Anita on Nov. 3, led all horses with seasonal earnings of $3,598,455.
Fort Larned won 5 of 9 starts in 2012. Little Mike, the winner of the BC Turf on Nov. 3, was second on that list with earnings of $2,668,742.
well deserved accolades to all the winners. it is a pleasure to watch one of the greatest saddle sitters perform on a daily basis on the NYRA circuit. Ramon Dominguez is without a doubt the premier rider in North America today. I have been studying riders for over forty years and although Ramon does not have the greatest "seat" on horseback he does have a perfect set of hands to relay the signals to his charges. The manner in which he shifts his body weight to guide and balance some of these animals is amazing to witness. He has been able to remain level headed during his reign as the King in New York and serves as an excellent role model and spokesperson for the riding colony. Todd Pletcher runs an ultra professional outfit across the country, works extremely hard an deserves everything that comes his way, another great year for the TAP gang. The Midwest people are absolutely fantastic for the sport and have given rise to the names Ness, Cox and the other excellent horseman deployed across the nation. They have given us loads of excitement during their reign as Eclipse Award winning owners. Looking forward to 2013 and the excitement these championships bring!

The fundamental problem with a broad view of reading is that it conflates two very different abilities—word recognition and comprehension. The narrow view restricts the scope of reading to word recognition, thereby focusing on a skill that can be taught to all students except those with most severe disabiliities. This clinical forum presents a rationale for embracing the narrow view of reading, followed by responses from leading researchers and clinicians.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:07am
Another impressive slate of fallball action is in the books. IL was at many events, and the staff is happy to give our weekly Winners & Losers.
Villanova — While they may have technically "lost" to Loyola on Saturday, I was impressed by how crisp Villanova looked, particularly considering who they lost to graduation. Their free-flowing offense is run best by experienced players, so graduating a group that had played together for years could mean a lot of rebuilding, but ball movement was sharp, players were active, and the Wildcats look like they can put up some goals this year.
Georgetown — I'll first start off by agreeing with Zach; I thought the loss of Kevin Cunningham was going to hurt Villanova more than it appears it has. But my winner is Georgetown. I caught a fall practice for a soon-to-run fallball check-in. Kevin Warne is changing the mentality of this program. Practice was physical, intense and competitive. It's tough to tell if that will pay dividends for the 2013 season, but it's a start in bringing that program back.
Bonus winner: Sorry I have to take another one. The Navy lacrosse team is also a winner. Check out this photo that's making the rounds online. These are the future leaders of America; I'll have more from them about this moment on Tuesday.
Transfers — Both Virginia and Hopkins picked up key transfers that are going to make a pretty significant impact. I saw Hopkins play on Saturday and was surprised to see that former McDonogh star Jen Cook, who was IL's No. 4 overall recruit in 2011, was on the field. She was granted her wavier by the NCAA last week and is eligible to play this fall and spring. Cook's skill and athleticism immediately helps a Blue Jay offense that lost some firepower from last season. Virginia picked up Casey Bocket (Northwestern), Caroline Seats (Georgetown) and Sally Jentis (Florida) and all three look to play major roles this season. Bocklet was particularly impressive at a playday hosted by Georgetown on Sunday, essentially running the Cavaliers offense and being the primary distributor. Seats and Jentis were also impressive. Jentis, after playing more of a defensive role at Florida, was lining up at attack and midfield on Sunday. Seats made some plays off the circle on the draw and will be a good dodging midfielder for the Cavaliers.
The Young Bucks — When you throw out some elite U.S. Team-level talent in guys like Paul Rabil, Stephen Peyser, Mike Leveille and Joel White, Hopkins and Syracuse boast some pretty intimidating Alumni Teams. But both current Orange and Blue Jay squads took it to their alumni this weekend. There's no worse sign for your program than when the alumni beat your current team. And it's good news for Cuse and Blue Jays fans that their current teams won pretty comfortably over their alumni this past weekend.
Iroquois Nationals — It's not so much that they defeated Team USA for the second-consecutive Bowhunter Cup internationally "friendly," it's the simple fact that the Iroquois Nationals put a team on the floor that could very well look very similar in 2015. The guys that might be doing the heavy lifting next time around for the Nationals — Cody Jamieson, Jeff Shattler, Craig Point, Sid Smith, Brett Bucktooth, Johnny Powless, Jeremy Thompson, Kedoh Hill, Seth Oakes and more — were all playing together Saturday night. While I'm almost positive you won't see some of the names on the US roster playing in 2015, this really looked and felt like a meaningful "practice" for the Nationals, even though you could see some of the guys were really enjoying themselves out there across from some of their buddies. Can't help but feel like the Iroquois are building momentum off of the 2011 World Indoor Lacrosse Championships. Saturday night reassured me that the Nationals will be the favorite to contend with Canada in 2015.
Refs and Rules - I know we keep harping on this, and it's a little bit of a catch-all again, but I continue to think we are headed for a contentious spring season as the new rules affect games that matter. Talking with many coaches throughout the fall, each seems to have a slightly nuanced interpretation of the rules, as well as a bit of uncertainty on exactly how some of the new tweaks are applied. That confusion will only breed contempt.
When Matt Kinnear and I were out at Loyola for their scrimmage against Villanova, we were also confused at points about whether stall warnings were on or not, an ambiguity that does not help fans. Plus, even simple stuff like quick whistles and restarts — some refs seem to have different ideas about what exactly "quick" means. In previous fall ball scrimmages I'd seen, it seemed refs blew their whistles instantly once a ball was picked up and teams were flying. On Saturday, the refs seemed to be a bit slower to tweet, and the players weren't really pushing for it to be faster. This is going to be a fun year to hear what those sideline microphones pick up during games (but you might want to keep the volume down if kids are present).
Bubble players — We've talked ad nauseam about the new rules. In a staff meeting we talked about how some players seem to still be using the U and V strings. Ryan Rabidou made a fantastic point about that: If you're a bubble player fighting for a roster spot, wouldn't you be inclined to use the U and V if it's what you're comfortable with? If I'm at all worried about my passing being sloppy with a new new string job, I'm not going to risk it. Fallball is about learning and getting better, this is true. But for some, it goes toward fighting for a job and takes on new meaning.
Phillip Rivers — Do I really need to explain?
Go Broncos!
Lacrosse WAGS — I know my fiancee can't WAIT until November rolls around every year so I can bust out the creep-stache and look like a wannabe South American dictator for a month. BUT the good news is Lax Stache Madness is back for another installment, and helps out a great cause in the HEADstrong Foundation.
Players ignoring the new stick stringing rules — I was adamantly opposed to the new stick stringing rules when they came down the pipe in the form of a proposal. And I was bummed when those rules were passed. But I've witnessed a college practice, watched an alumni game this past weekend and seen lots of footage that helped me cope with the change and realize that the difference won't be quite as significant as I had thought. For some, perhaps. For others, not so much. But I was shocked to see photos that clearly capture NCAA lacrosse players using sticks that are blatantly strung with now-illegal U- or V-style shooters. I will have no pity for a college player who thinks he's slick using an illegal stick in the fall (possibly impressing a coach more than he would with a legally-strung pocket) only to learn in the spring he needs that set up to pass and catch. What do you tell the coach when you're throwing balls out of bounds and he's wondering why he started you? And you'd think college coaches would make sure every single player is using a college-legal pocket. My brain still hurts from trying to understand the sense in this. I think that rule in particular was not completely necessary and still wonder about how effective it will be. But it is a rule, and college players should get used to following it, or risk hurting their teams.

About Ellen F. Rosenblum
Attorney General Hardy Myers today announced the names of 13 Oregon recipients that will share $120,000 in Children's Education Grants for support of their programs that benefit and advance the education of children. A five-member advisory committee reviewed 140 applications from non-profit, charitable and governmental groups.
"The caliber of these winners and their programs is very impressive," Myers said. "The advisory committee did an outstanding job of selecting a group of worthwhile programs, giving special consideration to counties that have not received assistance in the past."
The grants were available, due to Oregon's participation in national, multi-state antitrust settlements in 1998 and 1999 totaling $50 million in cash and toys with national retailer Toys "R" Us and toy manufacturers Mattel, Hasbro and The Little Tikes Company. This resulted in Oregon receiving over a period of four years, toys worth more than $389,000 and approximately $150,000 in cash for children's programs.
For the last four years, settlement money distribution has included toys being delivered during the holiday seasons throughout the state. The 2000 holiday toy distribution included the additional awarding of $20,000 grants to the Oregon Children's Foundation S.M.A.R.T. program of Portland and Libri Foundation of Eugene. Today's awarding of Children's Educational Grants will end the disbursement of settlement agreement monies.
The settlements filed in 1998 and 1999 resolved a lawsuit filed in 1997 by the Attorneys General of 44 states alleging that the defendants conspired for more than 10 years to withhold popular toys from low margin warehouse clubs that undercut Toys "R" Us prices. As a result of these illegal agreements between the manufacturers and the retailer, warehouse clubs could not compete in price with Toys "R" Us and consumers paid more for the toys.
Myers' Advisory Grant Committee members included Betsy Earls of the Associated Oregon Industries, Courtney Vanderstek of the Oregon Education Association, Mark Wilk of the Oregon Legal Services, the Honorable Patricia Sullivan of the Malheur County Circuit Court, and Melanie Curtis of the Oregon Commission on Children and Families.
Recipients receiving Children's Educational Grants include:
Oregon Child Development Coalition, Wilsonville. The OCDC provides childcare and other services to seasonal and migrant farm worker families around the State of Oregon. OCDC will purchase 2,416 culturally appropriate books for 1,208 children in Marion, Polk, Wasco, Hood River, and Malheur counties.
Dayton Public Schools, Dayton. This school district serves approximately 1,000 students. The district plans to use the grant to enhance their science curriculum at all levels.
Columbia Gorge Arts in Education, Hood River. CGAE is dedicated to providing arts education opportunities to children and adults in Hood River, Wasco and Sherman counties. CGAE will use its grant to fund their current project entitled, "Paints and Brushes," which will provide each of the 18, K-8 grade schools with an "art box."
Oregon Center for Career Development, Portland. OCCD, located at Portland State University, provides a career development system for childcare providers or "practitioners." OCCD will provide a voluntary, low-cost credentialing system for practitioners.
Rotary Foundation of Klamath County, Klamath Falls. The Foundation is the charitable arm of the Klamath County Rotary Club. The Foundation will buy books for the "Klamath Cares, Klamath Reads" program, which provides a hardcover book for 950 first-graders.
Umpqua Community Action Network Head Start, Roseburg. The UCAN branch of Head Start will buy three, high-quality, hardcover books for each of the 330 children enrolled in their Head Start programs. The books will go home with the children to keep and use.
Oregon Region III Shelter Programs, Salem. Five different agencies, all of which run domestic violence shelter and hotline programs, will use the grant to buy books, videos, written materials and toys for children residing in the shelters. Those participating include the Mid-Valley Women's Crisis Service, My Sisters' Place, SABLE House, Henderson House and the Center Against Rape and Domestic Violence.
Ontario Middle School, Ontario. This school serves 600 students, grades 6 through 8, in Malheur County. Many of the district's students have limited English proficiency and many are poverty-stricken. OMS will pay for educational, after-school activities that will be of interest to the students and attract a higher attendance rate.
Community Action Team, Inc., St. Helens. CAT has been serving proverty-stricken residents of Columbia County since 1966. CAT collaborated with several of its community partners, including Head Start, Even Start, local area preschools, childcare centers and libraries to provide 50 "theme packs" of educational materials for children's use.
Family Building Blocks, Salem. FBB is a child-abuse prevention center that targets at-risk families in Marion and Polk counties. The center will purchase the Second Step curriculum and supporting materials for use in reducing the cycle of abuse in at-risk families.
Klamath Lake Child Abuse Response and Evaluation Services, Klamath Falls. CARES is a child abuse center that provides medical assessments for victims of sexual or physical abuse. CARE teamed up with the Klamath County YMCA to provide new school supplies to low-income children.
Heppner Daycare/Preschool, Heppner. The daycare/preschool is the only state licensed nonprofit childcare facility in South Morrow County. Childcare services are provided for children, ages six weeks to 12 years. The school will provide a new computer activity with a number of children's programs.
Oregon Parent Center, Wolf Creek. OPC operates a center with the mission of "empowering families with knowledge and information to improve the academic achievement of their children." OPC will purchase 1,250 books to be used in its "Reading Buddies" program.
Twelve of the recipients received $10,000 grants with a 13th grant being evenly divided between Heppner Daycare/Preschool and Oregon Parent Center.
Consumers may access more information on grant recipients and their programs online at www.doj.state.or.us. The Attorney General's consumer hotline may be reached at (503) 378-4320 (Salem area only), (503) 229-5576 (Portland area only) or toll-free at 1-877-877-9392.

Gov. Bev Perdue announced today that her budget proposal will include a package of innovative strategies to help create jobs and boost manufacturing in North Carolina. The package includes: tax relief, tax credits and export assistance, as well as support specifically aimed at small businesses.
"My top priority is creating jobs and getting North Carolinians back to work," said Gov. Perdue. "Investing in manufacturing will help spur job growth and keep North Carolina competitive."
The jobs and manufacturing initiatives include:
Extend Tax Credits that Support Growth of Jobs and Investment
Several key tax credits that support job creation and investments in manufacturing are due to sunset at the end of 2012 and would be extended.
Article 3J tax credits for expanding businesses.
Sales tax refund on construction materials used in high-impact business expansions
Sales tax refund for machinery and equipment put in service in disadvantaged or poor counties.
Small Business Global Manufacturing Export Support
$500,000 in additional funding to the Department of Commerce International Trade Division to support the activities of North Carolina small manufacturing companies seeking to expand jobs by selling products in the global marketplace.
Funds will be used to help small manufacturers market products and access customers in key international markets including China, Europe, India and South America.
Expand Biz Boost Business Assistance Services for North Carolina Manufacturers
$1 million to the North Carolina Commissioner of Small Business to expand the Biz Boost program to cover more small- to medium-sized North Carolina based manufacturing companies.
The Biz Boost program identifies North Carolina businesses in all regions of the state that face challenges in the current economic climate and targets resources and technical assistance to help them keep and add jobs and enhance their competitiveness.

Family Law Questions? Ask a Family Lawyer Online.
It sounds like your wife has done what she needed to do in regards XXXXX XXXXX the restraining order (RO) dropped. As to that, her no-show at the court date should have led to a dismissal. If you are unsure, you might want to contact your clerk of court (or, if the clerk has a website, check there) to confirm it has been dropped.
As to the DA, you would ideally hire an attorney so that he can handle it for you. Doing so would certainly help ensure the best possible result. If you prefer to handle it on your own, then your wife might consider contacting the DA to express her desires. She might tell them that it was an isolated incident, that it was blown out of proportion, that she did not want you charged or whatever other similar statements that are true.
Ultimately, assuming it's accurate, she would want to tell them that she wants the case dropped. If necessary, she might even consider telling them that she has no desire to go to court to assist in the prosecution. Without her assistance, my speculation is that the prosecutor could not proceed with the case.

Thank you and good luck.
Hi Joseph,
Thank you so much for your response. I contacted my wife to read your response to her to see if she had any follow- up questions. For me I was satisfied, but wanted to make sure we covered mostly everything.
Anyway, she said at the ER, they took pictures of her face. How does that influence anything that we do from here on out.
During a tussle two weeks ago, where no hitting was involved, her contact lense got dislodged in her eye and caused some minor damage, which has since healed. To the outside observer this may appear that I hit her or something which is not the case.
Based upon what I said about the officers taking pictures in the ER, how does that influence us getting the case dropped by the DA?
Thank you for the additional information, much appreciated. However, no, that does not change my response. I say this as, without your wife's cooperation, the pictures have no meaning. In other words, without your wife to testify as to the content of the pictures, they have no value to the prosecutor.

What I am enjoying the most about reading other people's favorite books is that they are basically falling into two categories — those that are new favorites for me and those that I can appreciate even if I don't necessarily fall in love with them. A Little Princess by Frances Hodgson Burnett is one that I hadn't read before (though admittedly I had seen the 1995 film version, directed by Alfonso Cuarón). I am happy to say that this book has absolutely become a new favorite! Though published as a novel in 1905, it was originally serialized in 1888. It's a surprisingly strong story with a wide variety of characters. Even though I read it on my iPhone (which is awkward to say the least), I couldn't put it down.
What it's about: Young Sara Crewe is brought by her father from India to England to attend a boarding school. While there, she experiences everything from the heights of adoration to the depths of despair. In every situation, friendship comes from unexpected people and she remains the bright and tender child that she was when she arrived.
Age level: Grades 3-6
Best part: There were so many things to like in this book. Sara has a wonderful imagination and she is able to cope with even the worst situations by simply imagining it to be otherwise. Though this could have been annoying in a Pollyanna sort of way, it instead seemed noble and wise beyond her years. I also really enjoyed FHB's depiction of Indian natives. Sara has such respect for the people and their culture and the one Indian who comes to London is intelligent and kind and friendly. And I really liked the treatment of animals in this book, as Sara makes friends with the rats in the attic, the sparrows on the roof, and even the monkey next door.
Worst part: I wasn't immediately drawn into the story because FHB has a strange, irritating, repetitive way of using three adjectives when one would have certainly done just as well. She backs off of it after a bit but it was jarring while it lasted.
Verdict: Buy
It's strange to say but I think I might like this book more than The Secret Garden or at least equally as much. The odious characters in Princess are probably more odious than anyone in Garden but the lovely people (children mostly) were somehow more lovely. This was #56 on the list and Garden was #15 but I think this could easily be because many readers have read one and not the other.
Have you read A Little Princess? Did you love it?
I have a few books ahead of me that I have never read before so this should add some excitement to the holiday season! Feel free to join me on any of them.

Gareth Thomas will on Saturday become the eighth player to join the exclusive 100 club when he leads Wales against Fiji in Nantes, two weeks after he feared he would be stuck on 99, Don Bradman-style, following a rib injury he sustained during the defeat to Australia at the Millennium Stadium earlier this month.
When the 33-year-old Thomas was driven to hospital that night after a late tackle by the Australia captain Stirling Mortlock, the initial prognosis was that he would be on the sidelines for six weeks, ruling him out of the World Cup. Although he has always insisted that he will never retire from international rugby, he accepts that when Wales start planning for the 2011 tournament at the end of next month, he is unlikely to be given a role, even if Gareth Jenkins remains as head coach.
Thomas won his first cap during the 1995 World Cup, marking it with a hat-trick of tries against Japan, and how Wales would welcome a repeat from their captain and record try scorer as they attempt to secure a quarter-final tie against South Africa at Fiji's expense. That he had become the first Wales player to reach the 100-cap milestone would count for nothing if at the end of the 80 minutes he was left to reflect on a defeat and, as was the case 12 years ago, an early and ignominious exit from the tournament.
"It is a huge achievement that fills me with pride and it is important to me," said Thomas, who would have reached three figures a couple of years ago but for injuries and a failure to impress the current New Zealand coach Graham Henry when he was in charge of Wales for more than three years from 1998. "It will be an exciting few days for me, but during the game it has never been about me and it will not be about me on Saturday: it will always be about the team.
"There was a period after the Australia game when I did think I would miss out on the 100th cap and I had a low moment, but it did not last long. I took the positive attitude that I was going to make it back for the Fiji game and I have worked hard to ensure that I had the opportunity.
"If we win on Saturday, it would be the proudest day of my life, not just for me but the players and the management team. When I won my first cap, I thought I would be lucky to get to 10. Reaching the 100 landmark has never been a goal: it is just something that has arrived, probably because I can play in a number of positions and it is probably due to the fact that I have never been obsessed by personal ambition."
Thomas, who will be donating his jersey to Pencoed rugby club, where he started his career, is one of seven changes Wales have made from the side who trounced Japan last week. Dwayne Peel returns at scrum-half in place of Michael Phillips, James Hook is at inside-centre, the second row Ian Evans makes his first start for 10 months and Alix Popham returns at No8 with Chris Horsman replacing Adam Jones at tight-head prop.
Jenkins has been criticised for adopting too structured a gameplan at the World Cup, never mind that only South Africa and New Zealand have scored more tries so far, but he is adamant that there will be no throwing the ball around for the sake of it against a side who have a reputation for thriving on chaos but do not relish confrontation at set-pieces.
"We have to adopt a plan for this match because of the special threat Fiji pose," Jenkins said. "I have been pleased with the way our game has developed during the tournament. We started slowly, as was always going to be the case because of our lack of competitive rugby, but we showed against Japan exactly what we are capable of. I have always said that if we make the quarter-finals, we will then be nearing our best. We cannot look beyond Saturday, but our confidence and belief are growing."

text: As I see it, the Taser is more of a compliance tool, appropriate for use when an individual must be restrained or arrested but does not present a lethal threat. I would think that would be a law enforcement responsibility. As a civilian, if the threat is less than lethal, leave, call 9-1-1, or both.

Yes, you can't see the starter motor by looking down inside the engine bay, nor by a quick look underneath.
From above, all the intake components block your view, and underneath a drive shaft and other things obscure it..
I think it's a 4+ hr. job to R&R, so you want to eliminate simpler possibilities first.
Of reports on this forum that had similar symptoms, the end result has been a few surprising things, such as:
- an engine control sensor gone bad and locked out the start protocol
- transponder in the key failed
- battery tested good still unable to energize the starter (more likely if continuous clicks)
It's worth checking Fuse #14 to see if that has blown as it controls the immobilizer and/or the EWS.
Failed X3 starter motors are not unheard of but not too common.
If the warm weather had anything to do with it, maybe the battery electrolyte evaporated a bit.
Battery testing is not a very exact science. I'd charge it up fully and try again before anything else.

Buffalo Beach Restaurant needs a new logo
Buffalo Beach
Buffalo Beach Restaurant needs a new logo. They want to make the image more "fierce" but not scary. Imagine a volley ball player getting ready to go into a match . . . it's that kind of "fierce". Please make the logo more "beachy" or "Hawaii-esque". The way they characterize the change is characters and images that look good on a SURF shirt rather than a T-SHIRT. They would also like the tagline to be a part of the logo. The tagline is "Where Locals Roam". Please incorporate that in. Here is their current website (with logo):

We will pay via paypal. However you must provide us with a paypal invoice.

I am trying to get a copy of the x rays to send to a ortho vet for a second opinion.
The vet told me to basically keep working him, try to avoid high impact stuff like high jumping and do lots of water work, and she recommended probably not breeding him.
Do any of you all think joint supplements would be a good idea? She recommended some but I have no experience with them.

Cold War veterans are defined as men and women who served in the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard or were active in the National Guard during the period from September 1945 to December 1991. That period includes two serious and protracted regional conflicts – Korea and Vietnam – and thousands of deployments to hundreds of locations around the globe over those decades. Some of the incidents that these veterans experienced have been forgotten: the attack on the USS Liberty by Israeli forces in 1967; the USS Pueblo, taken captive by the North Koreans in 1968; confrontations across the Berlin Wall, the abortive effort to rescue hostages in Iran in 1980 – there were dozens and in all of them, Cold War veterans were at risk.

Asbestos Exposure During The Cold War
Asbestos was very much present in the Navy and commercial vessels used during the 1950s and 1960s. Asbestos was the insulation of choice for nautical boilers, engine rooms, piping systems and ships' interiors. The fact that asbestos sheets and wall material is also highly fire resistant made it ideal for use on seagoing vessels. The ships used by the Coast Guard were similarly outfitted.
Pumps, hydraulic systems, valves, and any pressurized system would have asbestos bearing seals and gaskets. Vehicles used in the 1950s and 1960s used asbestos gaskets, insulation on wiring, and brakes – as did aircraft build during those decades. The troops that served in Vietnam inherited some of that equipment and the men who repaired it were at risk for asbestos exposure. It was not until late in the 1970s that the Navy began to consider retrofitting their fleet in order to get asbestos materials off the ships.
The bases constructed during World War II were used throughout the Korean and Vietnam conflict, many of them retaining the asbestos products that began to disintegrate after decades of use. Asbestos flooring, ceiling tiles, roofing, siding, insulation, wiring, and covering for the heating systems existed in hundreds of military buildings throughout the United States and some constructed in Germany during the Cold War occupation. There was less use of asbestos in the construction of facilities in Vietnam, but asbestos continue to be an important component in vehicle and aircraft brakes, and as insulation for some portable equipment that generated heat.
Cold War Veterans with Mesothelioma
The first two decades of the Cold War held the highest risk of asbestos exposure for U.S. veterans. The use of asbestos for hundreds of products was at its peak in the 1950s and many of those products were in equipment or buildings used by the military right through Vietnam. Mesothelioma is a lethal form of asbestos cancer that takes forty years or more to develop after a person has been exposed to asbestos. The Korean War veterans who developed mesothelioma began to get sick in the 1980s and 1990s; Vietnam era veterans with mesothelioma are still getting sick today.
Cold War veterans have had their share of difficulties with the VA over recognition of service related disabilities. Mesothelioma and asbestosis were not regarded as a military problem for years; the issue was ignored in much the same fashion as Agent Orange was treated following Vietnam. Today veterans from those eras can get treatment for asbestos related ailments and for problems associated with Agent Orange, and in most cases can qualify for disability benefits.
Cold War Veteran Legal Rights
Many of the veterans from the Korean era and from World War II who are mesothelioma victims have filed suit against asbestos companies and won. While no veteran can sue the United States over service related disability or disease, they can and have sued asbestos companies thousands of times and received hundreds of millions of dollars in settlements.
If you are a Cold War veteran who was exposed to asbestos while on active duty and have been diagnosed with an asbestos related disease, you may be eligible for compensation. Contact our offices today and one of our attorneys will review your case thoroughly, in complete confidence and at no charge.
