Surfing's Top Names Deliver at ASP PRIME Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro
SAN CLEMENTE, California / USA (Tuesday, May 3 , 2011) – The opening day of the ASP PRIME Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro saw several of surfing's elite names put on a show in playful one-to-three foot (1 metre) waves at the historic cobblestone pointbreak of Lower Trestles in San Clemente, California to complete the first 16 heats of Round 1.
Bobby Martinez (Santa Barbara, CA), 28, took top honors in a stacked heat over fellow ASP Dream Tour campaigner Adriano de Souza (BRA), 24, Australian Shaun Cansdell (AUS) and Dane Gudauskas (San Clemente, CA), 25, while posting the day's highest single-wave score. The lethal goofy-footer tore into a steep lefthander with calculated rail work despite the small conditions to notch a 9.37 out of 10 en route to the day's second-highest heat-total of 16.04 out of 20.
"Nothing's easy these days, there are all kinds of good surfers," Martinez said. "That one 9 was just a good wave. I think I did four turns or something. I really just lined up nice."

Kekoa Bacalso (Mililani, HI), 25, former elite ASP Top 34 member, returned to competition with a newfound drive to detonate the day's highest heat-total of a 16.07 after dismantling the fun conditions on offer at Lower Trestles and is hungry to reassert himself as a dominant force among his international peers.
"The waves were fun once you got one of them," Bacalso said. "I've been training hard and getting nuts at home and it's good to be back. I'm sick of being home and watching these guys on the computer and I want to be a part of it. I got let go from my sponsor at the end of December and it was a good reality check, a good slap in the face, and I've been buckling down. I've had a lot of time at home to get prepared for this and I'm here to make a statement. I'm not taking it lightly that's for sure."
Above: Tanner Gudauskas muscles his way to a win.
Tanner Gudauskas (San Clemente, CA), 22, earned an impressive come-from-behind victory in his opening Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro heat over Dusty Payne (Lahaina, HI), 22, who advanced in second. The local talent also relied on his forehand to combine several seamless turns on a crisp left to score a 9.00 with three minutes remaining in the heat to launch Gudauskas from last to first.
"I was having fun in that heat, there was no real hassling, so I was stoked," Gudauskas said. "That wave came to me and I didn't think it was going to be that good, but it just stood up."
Gudauskas, who sustained an ankle injury free-surfing in Tasmania, is fired up to be back in the water after nearly six weeks of recovery time.
"I'm just stoked to be surfing in this event," Gudauskas said. "I'm coming back from my ankle injury and I'm frothing on surfing in general. I injured my ankle in Tasmania and was out for about a month and a half. It was just three days ago that I got back in the water."
Dane Reynolds (Ventura, CA), 25, returned to competition for the first time in 2011 after undergoing surgery to his knee following a late season injury in 2010. The innovative Californian put on a solid performance to advance out of Round 1 behind Kekoa Bacalso with a 14.33 heat total, but was still cautious about the condition of his knee.
"That was the hardest I've pushed it so it might swell up a bit tomorrow," Reynolds said. "That was a bit different than my normal routine since I've started surfing again. Usually I'll get a good warm up and go catch a couple of waves and today I was around the contest site all day. There definitely felt like there was less flexibility going."
Kolohe Andino (San Clemente, CA), 17, Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro wildcard, issued the upset of the day by eliminating last year's event runner-up Chris Davidson (AUS), 33, to advance into the Round of 48.
Above: Kolohe and the boys tear apart small but rippable Lower Trestles.
"I saw that heat draw and was pretty worried because it was a tough heat," Andino said. "Wiggolly (Dantas) rips super hard, Kai Barger always blows up and Davo (Chris Davidson) is a full veteran. I really wanted to beat Davo because he beat me last year. I had a lot of fun out there though. The waves are really fun and I had the perfect time with the tide so I'm really stoked."
Andino, current No. 115 on the men's ASP World Ranking and Lower Trestles local, is still holding three zero-point scores in his score line and knows that a good result at the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro will skyrocket his position on the international standings.
"I'm super excited about getting the points here," Andino said. "I'm just going to take it one heat at a time, but hopefully I make a few heats. It's cool to be on your own program when competing at home. You don't have to worry about traveling with anyone or anything like that so it's cool."
Gabriel Medina (BRA), 17, also notched a notable victory to open his Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro account. The Brazilian up-and-comer earned a solid 15.50 (out of 20) heat total with progressive fins-free surfing on his forehand and lightning backhand snaps on his backhand to top current ASP Dream Tour talent Patrick Gudauskas (San Clemente), 25, who advanced in second, Sebastian Zietz (Kauai, HI), 23, and Brandon Jackson (ZAF), 24.
"The waves are kind of small, but it's fun out there," Medina said. "It was a hard heat with Pat (Gudauskas) but I just tried to have fun and it worked. I was surfing the left and got a 7 and it is fun, it kind of stands up. I got an 8 and a good right too, so I'm happy."
Medina, current No. 43 on the men's ASP World Ranking, is another young talent out to help his cause towards qualification for the prestigious ASP World Title series with a keeper result at this year's Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro.
"I really want to qualify this year," Medina said. "I'm really trying to do my best this year and hopefully I can do it."
Running in conjunction with the Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro will be the ASP 5-Star Oakley Pro Junior, which will see the 32-man field battle for the vital points on offer towards qualification for the elite ASP World Junior Tour.
The 2011 Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro holds a waiting period from May 3 through 7, 2011 and is LIVE via www.nike6lowerspro.com
The Nike 6.0 Lowers Pro will be televised live and in its entirety in Hawaii on Oceanic Time Warner Cable's Oceanic SURF Channel 250 and 1250HD and from May 5 to May 7 on Time Warner SoCal in San Diego and Los Angeles.

I'm attacking my ssh server with hydra and if I give it a username and password using -l and -p it works fine. If, however, the password is contained within a wordlist, hydra skips it and does not report a successful login. I at first thought the number of tasks might be too high but even on -t1 it still skips the password if it's in a wordlist. Any ideas? Here are the commands I'm using:
failsCode:hydra -l [username] -p [password] -t2 -f -vV 10.10.100.100 ssh2
UPDATE: I think the problem is that it's trying too fast. I found out that if I put the password at the very beginning of the list (the first word) then it will work as expected. If the correct password is any lower down the list than the 3rd or 4th word then it just gets skipped. I have -t1 which is as low as I can get it. I'm out of ideas at this point.Code:hydra -l [username] -P [path/to/wordlist] -t1 -f -vV 10.10.100.100 ssh2

The introduction of federal legislation to regulate Internet gambling could bring a calm to the patchwork of state laws that appear inevitable — or it could split the gaming lobby, leaving it up to states to write their own online gaming laws.
"I think that's a positive," said state Rep. Bobby Moak, D-Bogue Chitto, who has made two unsuccessful attempts to pass online gaming bills on the state level in Mississippi.
Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., last week introduced a bill that would fully regulate in at the federal level.
Bills to legalize Internet poker have failed in recent years, but this year's legislation comes on the heals of three states taking significant steps to provide online gaming with their borders.
In 2011, the U.S. Justice Department ruled that online gambling would be legal in states that passed the necessary legislation. Nevada, New Jersey and Delaware have legalized some kind of online gambling, and legislatures in other states are weighing the issue.
"I actually favor a broader piece of legislation. It's easier for the industry, and a lot of folks in Mississippi have gaming houses in lots of other jurisdictions in the United States," said Moak. "I think federal is the way to go to give states guidance and parameters."
Even with his support of the federal bill, Moak said he plans to again introduce online gaming legislation in 2014.
Larry Gregory, executive director of Mississippi Casino Owners Association, said he and his group are taking a wait-and-see approach.
"We're not going to get excited about this yet," said Gregory. "We've been hearing about it for 10 years, and it just doesn't look like there's any appetite at federal level. We might see some action at the state level, but until then, we're just going to sit back and observe and see where internet gaming is headed."
For some states, particularly high-population states, it may be a race to pass their own legislation to avoid any federal restrictions.
King says his measure, called the Internet Gambling Regulation, Consumer Protection and Enforcement Act of 2013, would allow states and players to navigate the world of online betting with confidence.
"A common federal standard will ensure strong protections for consumers, protect against problem and underage gambling, and make it easier for businesses, players, lawmakers and regulators to navigate and freely participate," he said in a statement, the Associated Press reported.
The bill would create an office of gambling oversight in the Treasury Department, impose safeguards against underage and compulsive gambling, and facilitate interstate online wagering.
States and American Indian casinos would have right to opt-out of a federal system and keep their own internal gaming practices.
"That's one of the provisions that's been looked at during the years," said Moak. "The issue has always been that if Congress got involved, those states that have already put in a legalized gaming mechanism would be able to opt-out if they decide to not participate. If you have an opt-in provision, that's almost like going through the gaming statutes again for each state."
Morgan Stanley predicts that by 2020, online gambling in the U.S. will produce the same amount of revenue as Las Vegas and Atlantic City markets combined: $9.3 billion.
But not all Internet gambling supporters are going all-in.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Sen. Jon Kyl, R-Ariz., tried to legalize Internet poker but never introduced the legislation. The bill failed in part because opposition felt it gave too much regulatory power to Nevada.
Reid told the Las Vegas Sun that King's legislation made the prospects of a poker bill even bleaker, because it "basically authorizes everything — 21, poker, everything."
While Reid added that he doubted King's bill would pass, the introduction of a broad piece of gaming legislation both divides the sympathies of pro-gaming lawmakers and helps to stiffen the resolve of those opposed to gaming.
The American Gaming Association, meanwhile, is not sure about King's bill. "We spent the last four years working very, very hard to get in a position to support such legislation if it was introduced," American Gaming Association CEO Frank Fahrenkopf told the Associated Press. "So we're now left in a situation where Kyl, who was very important in the process, has retired, and you've got a multitude of states starting to pass legislation, so we think the urgency is even more important now."
The AGA, which has supported an online poker-only strategy, is expected to decide whether to change its stance and support the King bill next month.
King's bill will probably need to be added to unrelated House legislation to pass, an aide told the New York Daily News last week.

Hi there,
I have the following setup:
A soekris board running m0n0wall 1.2b9 (let's call it mono) is connected to the ethernet port of a
dsl router.
The LAN interface of mono has been assigned the 192.168.1.1 and dhcp has been enabled. The LAN
interface is connected with an ethernet cable to a Linksys wrt54gs router that is running as an
Access Point to offer wireless connectivity.
Linksys has been assigned the 192.168.1.2
A laptop is wirelessly connected to the the network, assigned for example the ip 192.168.1.193.
Without captive portal enabled the laptop user can browse the internet
Captive portal is enabled with radius authentication against an external radius server (freeradius).
The laptop user is prompted for username and password.
Once submitted, the mono requests authentication not for the laptop ip/mac(192.168.1.194) but for
linksys Access Point (192.168.1.2).
The radius server returns Access-Accept, and accounting starts
Mon Jun 20 01:18:07 2005
Service-Type = Login-User
User-Name = "tester2"
NAS-Identifier = "m0n0wall.local"
NAS-Port = 0
NAS-Port-Type = Ethernet
Acct-Status-Type = Start
Acct-Authentic = RADIUS
Acct-Session-Id = "24663e0bdc156fad"
Framed-IP-Address = 192.168.1.2
NAS-IP-Address = m.y.i.p
Client-IP-Address = m.y.i.p
Acct-Unique-Session-Id = "74621ed97a0dace5"
Timestamp = 1119226687
As a result mono opens the firewall for linksys IP/mac and not for the laptop one, and the laptop
user is prompted for usr/pwd again.
Reading the FAQ, I came across the following entry:
'Captive Portal relies on MAC addresses to function. In order for this to work, Captive Portal
clients must be on the same layer 2 network as m0n0wall. In the case of a router behind m0n0wall,
the only MAC address m0n0wall would see would be the router's MAC. The first machine authenticated
behind the router would allow all machines behind that router access'
that rings some bells, but how do you explain the fact that this setup used to work as desired with
1.2b7 version (opens the firewall for laptop ip/mac instead of linksys one)?
I apologise for the lengthy email, and I would appreciate some feedback on this

There goes my food bill for November
December 26, 2012
A bill! From the state of California State Board of Equalization! I received in the mail Oct. 10, 2012. This bill is for the period July 1, 2011, through June 30, 2012, with the amount due of $115. The first of many bills, I guess! I am a disabled senior living in Mt. Air Mobile Park in Grass Valley. I do not own this property, but I rent a space for my mobile home in this park. I pay a tag fee for my mobile home each year but not property tax. I do not think it is fair to have to pay this tax/fee! I want first to say I am on a limited income, having lived in Grass Valley for the past 10 years. Trying to live on such a small income, I have worked all my life and was widowed in 1996! I think this billing notice we all were sent here in my mobile home park is not in our best interest. It is going to take all my food money for the month of November to pay this $115. I called this State Board of Equalization, and this place has no low-income help! They intimated me! If I don't pay this bill, it would go to collections. I could pay in payments, but they would tack interest on this. It is not fair to have such a short time to pay this fee or tax! One week, a notice came telling us the bill was coming — the next week a bill!
Please help us low-income seniors. We cannot afford this!

Melvin Moti
Melvin Moti's (b. 1977 The Netherlands) work gives form to a forgotten incident, a historical moment, an anecdote or a scientific fact and is always based on intensive research and study. Moti slows down the interplay between sound and action in his films encouraging viewers to listen; to observe less passively; to hunt for clues; to embark on a journey of discovery. The films are accompanied by a single human voice, enunciating a thoughtful evocative narrative, which is punctuated by beautiful slow moving images. Sound and image induce a hypnotic effect
Melvin Moti has exhibited at the FRAC Champagne, Reims, France; the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; the Museum für Moderne Kunst in Frankfurt-am-Main, Germany; the Kunstverein Köln, Cologne, Germany; Wiels Centrum voor Hedendaagse kunst, Brussels, Belgium; Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France; The MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, USA; and MUDAM, Luxembourg. His work was also featured at the 5th Berlin Biennale, Berlin, Germany (2008). Moti studied at the Academie Voor Beeldende Vorming in Tilburg from 1995 to 1999 and at De Ateliers in Amsterdam from 1999 to 2001, where he now teaches. Melvin Moti lives in Rotterdam.
A week before taking up residence at the Gardner Museum in November 2010, Melvin Moti installed Prisoner's Cinema (2008) at The MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge. This film was based on the artist's research into hallucinations caused by visual deprivation. Museum members and staff were afforded the unusual opportunity to experience the artist's work first hand and to hear him speak at a lecture at MIT a few weeks into his residency. At the museum, Moti was often found in the Archives doing research. He studied a wide range of materials including photo albums of the Gardner's Green hill and Beacon St. residences; Mrs. Gardner's travel albums from Cuba, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, and Austria; photographs of the museum's 1901 construction site and the surrounding landscape; as well as information pertaining to the gravesites of Isabella Stewart Gardner's dogs Foxey and Roly in the South Garden. Moti also viewed an exquisite Book of Hours by Jean Bourdichon from the Long Gallery; he examined the museum's collection guides from 1909-1960; correspondence from naturalist and writer Hans Coudenhove regarding a cage of birds in the Courtyard; and documents concerning the lawsuit filed against the Trustees over usage of the fourth floor as office space and the permissions process for creating Special Exhibition Gallery on the first floor in the early '90s.
Melvin Moti spent hours in the courtyard talking to the horticultural staff, learning about the museum's conservation efforts to restore the Tapestry Room to its arrangement at the time of Gardner's death, and taking photographs in the galleries. He was particularly drawn to the color blue used by Isabella Stewart Gardner to paint several areas of the museum. Gardner had observed this color in the 1897 at Stefano Bardini's gallery in Florence, where she purchased a number of items. She acquired the recipe and a paint chip from Bardini with the help of Bernard Berenson. Over the years sections of the blue walls were repainted many times and as time went by, the recipe grew more and more difficult to reproduce as time had altered both the original paint chip and the wall paint. Each attempt to recreate the imagined "Bardini Blue" has turned out differently, creating a subtle patchwork of different shades and sheens. Moti did further research in the museum's files and compared the paint chip to several spaces in the museum where layers of paint had been exposed and to a sample of wall taken from the Carriage House before it was razed in 2009.

Robert Pattinson Bids Farewell to the Big Apple
Armed with his trusty guitar, Robert Pattinson arrived at JFK Airport in New York City on Saturday (December 22).
The "Twilight" star was dressed casually in a gray T-shirt, black jacket with floral lining, black pants, and a black ballcap as he made his way through the busy terminal.
Last week, his main squeeze Kristen Stewart jetted out of the Big Apple already, indicating the two may be spending the holidays apart.
Meanwhile, fans are all abuzz over the 26-year-old British actor's new 'do. Earlier this week, RPatz was spotted out with a knitted hat which was raised just enough to reveal a very short haircut. Though, Edward Cullen fanatics might be able to breathe a sigh of relief. Robert has several films in the works that might be the cause of his shorn hair.
Enjoy the pictures of Robert Pattinson at JFK Airport in NYC (December 22).

A fast for Bassel
Many of you who know me know that — how can I put this tactfully? — I'm a bit on the rotund side. More specifically, I'm a little short for weight; short by about, oh, at least a foot or so. I weigh about the same as most power forwards in the NBA but lack the height they have. You get the picture.
I bring this up because supporters of Bassel Khartabil (also known as Bassel Safadi), who have been working tirelessly to have him freed from a Syrian jail, have come up with a one-day fast for people to do to raise awareness of Bassel's plight. I fasted on Friday and will do so each Friday going forward until Bassel is freed. It's not hard: For me, I just get a gallon of purified water and drink that throughout the day (sorry, but I can't not have water, my age being what it is and all that).
The schedule, if you want to participate, can be found here. Incidentally, I can't seem to mark each subsequent Friday on the schedule for some reason, but I'll be fasting anyway.
Al-Jazeera has done a very good piece on the fast, and on Bassel's plight, here. In addition, Foreign Policy Magazine calls Bassel one of the Top 100 Global Thinkers in 2012.
A recap from the July blog item: On March 15, 2012, Bassel was detained in a wave of arrests in the Mazzeh district of Damascus, Syria. As I wrote back in July, Bassel is the project leader for an open source web software called Aiki Framework. He is well known in online technical communities as a dedicated volunteer to Creative Commons, Mozilla Firefox, Wikipedia, Open Clip Art Library, Fabricatorz, and Sharism.
Since Bassel's arrest, his family has received no official explanation for his detention or information regarding his whereabouts. However, his family has recently learned from previous detainees at the security branch of Kafer Sousa, Damascus, that Bassel is being held at this location.
As updated on the Free Bassel site, "Bassel has been transferred from a civilian (Adra) to a Military Field Court, which denies him a lawyer and witnesses. This is bad. Please act now."
Also, this from Amnesty International paints a bleak picture of Bassel's current plight, but provides information about who to contact with messages to leaders to appeal for Bassel's freedom.
Bassel contributes much to the FOSS paradigm. He's one of us. Let's get Bassel back home to his loved ones, and let's get him coding again.

The battle at the top in the Formel ADAC championship could hardly get more exciting: Marvin Kirchhöfer (18, Leipzig, Lotus) shortened the deficit on overall leader Gustav Malja (16, Sweden, Neuhauser Racing) even further with a victory in the second race at the Nürburgring. The ADAC Sports foundation protégé secured his second success this weekend and is now only eight points behind Malja in the standings. The Swedish driver came home in second place and after 20 races out of 24 still leads the championship by a narrow margin; his points total is 262.
"What a great weekend. It could hardly have turned out better - I'm almost a little lost for words. I'm very happy with the team's performance and my own here at the Nürburgring, enabling me to gradually creep up on Gustav Malja in the championship. Now I want to secure as many points as possible in the final race." said Kirchhöfer after his sixth win in his debut year in the Formel ADAC. The 18-year old was on pole for the fifth time this season and has secured a race win some four times now from pole position.

The NFL is back! You're ready to dive into another season of Fantasy Football, cheat sheets out and sure to prove your drafting skills are on point - but what about your TEAM-BASED knowledge? This is the place to prove you can pick winners.
Looking for more ESPN Fantasy Games? Play Capital One Bowl Mania, our college football bowl pick'em game, and compete for a chance to win $1,000,000! Just pick all 42 bowl games correctly!
The objective of this game is simple: select the winner of each NFL game throughout the 17-week season by picking either straight-up, against the point spread, or by confidence ranking your straight-up picks. The most correct picks over the course of the season in EACH game mode (spread, straight-up and confidence) wins a $2000 Amazon Gift Card!
We're offering a $100 weekly prize in every game mode throughout the season, and since you're eligible to play in all three you're never out of the running for a great cash prize.
Here's a breakdown of the three game modes:
Straight-Up: This is the simplest game mode: pick a team to win, whoever you think is more likely to come out on top. Perhaps this format is a bit easier than the other two but it's a classic nonetheless.
Spread: Before each NFL game begins we will assign it a point spread which helps to even the playing field and make the matchups more competitive. For instance, if the Packers are a 10.5 point favorite and they are winning by 10 in the 4th quarter the game might be over but the SPREAD still hangs in the balance - and so does your pick. The question is, can you and your friends beat our handicappers?
Confidence: We're adding another layer to the beloved straight-up game mode! Now you can RANK these picks by order of your confidence that the team you select in each game will win. The higher your confidence is in a pick the more points you will receive if that team prevails. This format may seem simple, but in reality it may be the most challenging of the three. A good week is no longer dictated strictly by the number of correct picks you make, for if you lose your two most confident selections then a lot of points will be left on the table. At the same time, a successful week here may offer the biggest reward in terms of validation of your skill, savvy and overall football knowledge.
Message your friends and start a group today - you make the call on your format of choice. Good luck and have fun!
And if you're looking for more help in making your picks, we've got all sorts of tools at your disposal:

Wednesday, May 8 2013 - Research/Evidence
Report: U.S. Government and NATO Worked with Bin Laden and His Top Lieutenant 3 Months AFTER 9/11
May 2, 2013
Washington's Blog
FBI Translator Alleges that Bin Laden and His Number 2 Worked as Part of Operation Gladio
Former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds has been deemed credible by the Department of Justice's Inspector General, several senators (free subscription required), and a coalition of prominent conservative and liberal groups.
The ACLU described Edmonds as:
And famed Pentagon Papers whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg says that Edmonds possesses information "far more explosive than the Pentagon Papers."
Edmonds translated terror-related communications for the FBI right after 9/11. In that capacity, she read communications between terrorists and other radicals.
Edmonds said last week that Bin Laden – and his number 2 Al Qaeda lieutenant – Ayman al-Zawahiri – worked with the U.S. government for 3 months after 9/11 to coordinate destablization in the Caucus region:
Listen to interview here:
By way of background, the former Italian Prime Minister, an Italian judge, and the former head of Italian counterintelligence admit that NATO, with the help of the Pentagon and CIA, carried out terror bombings in Italy and other European countries in the 1950s and blamed the communists, in order to rally people's support for their governments in Europe in their fight against communism.
As one participant in this formerly-secret program stated: "You had to attack civilians, people, women, children, innocent people, unknown people far removed from any political game. The reason was quite simple. They were supposed to force these people, the Italian public, to turn to the state to ask for greater security" (and see this)(Italy and other European countries subject to the terror campaign had joined NATO before the bombings occurred).
This was codenamed "Operation Gladio". And watch this BBC special. And see this for background.
Edmonds says that some portions of Operation Gladio are continuing to this day, and that Ayman al-Zawahiri and Bin Laden worked for NATO and the Pentagon as part of Operation Gladio:
Watch here
Edmonds told us:
If this sounds crazy, please remember that the former U.S. National Security Adviser (and a top Obama foreign policy adviser) admitted that the U.S. created, organized and armed the Mujahadeen in Afghanistan – including Bin Laden – to fight the Soviets. (The Mujahadeen eventually morphed into Al Qaeda.)
And the same National Security Adviser wrote a book in 1997 saying that the Caucasus and Central Asian regions – the same 2 regions which Edmonds told us that NATO and the U.S. deployed Zawahiri and Bin-Laden to influence – were the key to geopolitical power. For example, he wrote:
And the U.S. has backed the most dangerous and radical Muslim terrorists for decades.
And the mainstream French paper Le Figaro alleged that the CIA met with Bin Laden 2 months before 9/11.
And 9/11 Commissioners admit that they never got to the bottom of 9/11. For example:
Update: BBC and Guardian investigative reporter – and New York Times bestselling author – Greg Palast, who is famous for obtaining original source documents from whistleblowers which tell the real story, says that the U.S. squashed real investigations into 9/11 and the Boston bombings to cover up the fact that we supported terrorism in Chechnya aimed at Russia.
Edmonds told us:

Denver, CO (SportsNetwork.com) - Ty Lawson had 18 points and 13 assists as the Denver Nuggets defeated the Milwaukee Bucks, 110-100, on Wednesday night.
Wilson Chandler netted 24 points, J.J. Hickson added 19 points and 10 rebounds, and Randy Foye tallied 20 points and six helpers for Denver, which has won four of its last six games.
"It would have been a sad day had we lost this one, especially when Milwaukee was down and on the road," Lawson said.
Larry Sanders had 25 points and 15 rebounds and Khris Middleton scored 25 points for the Bucks, who have dropped six of their last seven tilts.
"They have a nice backcourt and they did a nice job on their pick and rolls," Bucks head coach Larry Drew said of Denver.
Sanders netted the first four points of a 9-2 Bucks flurry, which was capped on Giannis Antetokounmpo's jumper to get them within 99-96 with 2:13 remaining.
Back-to-back Chandler buckets, though, extended the margin back to 103-96 with 1:28 to play and Milwaukee never got within less than five the rest of the way.
The Nuggets led 30-24 after a quarter of play, but the Bucks outscored them 28-21 in the second to head into the break with a 52-51 edge.
Denver built a double-digit margin midway through the third following a 9-2 sprint, which Kenneth Faried finished off with a three-point play for a 72-62 lead.
The hosts took an 84-72 advantage into the fourth.
Game Notes
Faried had 10 points and nine rebounds ... Denver shot 46.4 percent (39-of-84) from the field ... Milwaukee scored 22 points off 21 Nuggets turnovers ... Brandon Knight had 16 points and eight assists for the Bucks.

5 Stocks to Benefit From the Changing Media Landscape - views
NEW YORK (Stockpickr) -- Unless you've been invested in Apple (AAPL), you've probably lost money in most of your media-oriented investments. That's because the major networks, the record labels, the video game console makers and the live music promoters have all seen a slowdown in business as consumers spend more time on their iPhones, iPads and iPods.
Here are five companies that hope to be major players when the current entertainment industry transition is complete.
Telecom service provider Verizon (VZ) had big plans for its FiOS cable service that offers super-fast internet connections. Trouble is, consumers haven't been in the habit of watching cable TV as much these days. To create a more compelling offering to attract customers, Verizon has partnered with Coinstar (CSTR), jointly promoting that firm's Redbox DVD service that will soon offer Netflix-style streaming services.
This digital download effort marries Verizon's massive customer base (including mobile users that can stream movies) with Coinstar's already large base of installed customers that have been using its DVD-by-kiosk service.
>>8 Big Tech Stocks Leading the Market
Shares of Coinstar have fallen from $70 to $45 in the past three months on concerns about high upfront costs to launch the DVD streaming service, which creates a solid entry point for this media/technology game-changer. Shares now trade for less than 10 times projected 2013 profits.
Consumer research firm Nielsen Holdings (NLSN) has been the vendor of choice for broadcast networks that want to measure the size of their audiences. Yet consumers are no longer holed up in front of TV set as much anymore, and it's becoming harder to track them. Even when they do watch shows, they are increasingly doing so through sites like Hulu.com.
That's where Rentrak (RENT) comes in. The company offers media consumption measurement services, but well beyond the basic TV. Rentrak monitors consumers habits in the online world, providing a clearer read of what is being viewed and by whom. It's an essential service for advertisers as they wade into the still-uncertain landscape of online viewership.
At first blush, this may not seem like much of a growth story/ Fiscal first-quarter sales (ended June) grew just 4% from a year ago, as results were dampened by a declining legacy business that had been tracking DVD sales. It's the new media consumption measurement biz--known as Advanced Media & Information -- that is the real growth story: This division saw sales rise 31% in the quarter, and based on recent new customer wins, should keep growing at a similar rate in coming quarters.
>>10 Multimedia Stocks With Double the S&P 500's Gains
For folks at Nielsen, Rentrak has become a rival to watch.
Rovi (ROVI) might be seen as an industry loser in the changing media landscape -- its shares have tumbled from nearly $70 in early 2011 to a recent $14.50. Rovi was a leading player in DVD software, yet as more content is enjoyed online and not on discs, this company has lost some relevance.
Yet Rovi has another division that holds a great deal of promise -- and could fuel a sold rebound for this stock. Note that television set makers are looking to roll out a new generation of consoles that allow consumers to view all of their content on TV -- no more switching to your laptop when it comes time to search for Youtube videos, Hulu TV shows and other content. A number of these TV set makers are looking at using Rovi's online programming software. You may be familiar with this software when it powered the popular TV Guide channel of listings. Rovi has struggled to keep that business relevant, but the new world of internet-enabled TV sets might just give it newfound relevance.
Shares don't look challenging, trading at less than eight times projected 2013 EPS of around $1.90.
Digital video recorders have become the must-have entertainment device for many couch potatoes. But as it often happens in the land of high-tech, the company that comes up with a great idea isn't always the one to ultimately get rich from it, making TiVo (TIVO) something of an afterthought for investors.
>>3 Tech Stocks Hedge Funds Are Buying
Well, behind the scenes, TiVo is pushing hard to become a growth stock again. The company has poured millions into software development, and its DVR systems now have capabilities that many cable operators have only begun to think about. For example, TiVo's software allows you to set up recording from anywhere, and it also facilitates video playback to your mobile device, even if the show is stuck on a hard drive back at your house.
TiVo has been making the rounds with major cable operators, imploring them to give up their home-brewed DVR software and switch back to Tivo's software. The campaign is working: Spain's ONO and the U.K.'s Virgin Media have become big customers. Here in the U.S., Charter Communications (CHTR) and other cable operators are also said to be taking the company's newly revamped software for a test drive.
Yet it's the balance sheet you should also be watching. A string of legal victories -- and big cash settlements -- have boosted Tivo's cash from $209 million in fiscal (January) to a recent $540 million, and that figure could swell above $700 million, thanks to a just-announced legal settlement with Verizon. Still, pending lawsuits with Cisco Systems (CSCO) and Google (GOOG) could push cash towards the $1 billion mark. The whole company is valued at just $1.3 billion, meaning the core software business is accorded little value.
MDC Partners
This is an ad agency -- with a twist. Although MDC (MDCA) offers the usual agency services offered by bigger rivals such as Interpublic (IPG) and Omnicom (OMC), it's real focus is on digital marketing. MDC is an expert at helping old world companies get their brands in front of the new breed of digital consumer, whether they are in front of a computer or on their smart phones.
Shares of MDC had fallen from $20 last summer to below $10 this spring, but have begun a rebound back towards the low teens as the company starts to deliver more impressive cash flow. Cash flow had been constrained by a series of acquisitions that also diverted management's attention. Nowadays, management is focusing on making the most of what is on its plate, with a goal of squeezing a lot more cash flow out of this business in the quarters to come.

COLUMBIA, Ky. -- Area residents
can get a tax break this season at Lindsey Wilson
For the seventh consecutive year, the liberal arts
college is providing area residents with free income-tax service
through the Tax-Aide program. Sponsored by the AARP Foundation, Internal Revenue Service and
LWC, the free service is available from 3-5 p.m. CT Monday and
Wednesday through April 14 in J.L. Turner Leadership Center-Room
108, 100 Blue Raider Drive.
No appointments are taken. Residents are served on
a first-come, first-served basis, according to Lindsey Wilson
Coordinator for Community Outreach and Engagement Candice Armstrong.
To take advantage of the free service, area
residents must bring: a legally recognized picture identification
card of the taxpayer and, if applicable, spouse; Social Security
cards of the taxpayer, spouse and any dependents; copies of last
year's federal and state tax returns; and all W-2 and 1099 forms
and any other relevant materials that show income and expenses for
the current year.
"We'll assess a person's situation when they first
come in, and we'll let them know right away if we think their
financial situation is too complex for this service," Armstrong
Electronic filing will be available free of charge.
AARP membership is not required to take advantage of this free
service, and there are no age restrictions.
"This free service is open to anyone in the
region," Armstrong said. "The program is designed for low- and
moderate-income families and older persons who may qualify for
certain tax benefits and credits but might miss if they were to
file on their own.
Past experience has indicated that many people are
unaware of all of the special benefits that they are entitled to
The free tax preparation will be processed by
upper-division Lindsey Wilson accounting majors, under the
supervision of Lindsey Wilson Associate Professor of Accounting Rose Garvey, who also serves as the Tax-Aide
local coordinator. A translator will also be on hand to assist
Spanish-speaking residents.
"It's a great a community outreach program for the
college, and it's a great way for the college to show its
commitment to the region," Armstrong said.
Armstrong said area residents are always grateful
to not only have their taxes prepared for free but to have a
qualified person prepare them.
"People are so thankful to receive this service,"
she said. "Taxes are intimidating for a lot of us. So knowing that
you have a group of dedicated people who know what they are doing
and will do it for free is a great feeling."
For more information about the Lindsey Wilson
Tax-Aide program, contact Candice Armstrong at

Emerge - Adult Industry Outreach Training (A.I.O.T)
Emerge - SJ Strip Church
Saturday, March 2, 2013 from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM (EST)
Who's Going
San Francisco, California
London, United Kingdom
Florence, Italy
Event Details
Have a heart to impact the adult industry with the love of God?
Who comprises the adult industry and why should I care?
How can I possibly make a difference?
- Did you know that more women are in the sex industry than any other time in history?
- Did you know there are more strip clubs in America than any other country in the world?
- Hollywood releases over 11,000 adult movies a year.
- The USA produces 89% of all pornographic web pages
- Up to 95% of women in the sex industry have been sexually abused as children
- Sex industry workers suffer PTSD at the same rate as returning soldiers
Join us for a one-day intensive training. You will be inspired and challenged as you gain insight into the sex industry and the real people behind the scenes. You will learn creative ways to reach sex industry workers and practical ways to make an impact. For those who already have an outreach team, we will help you take your ministry to the next level. For those who don't know where to begin.....we will help you launch.
Trainer: Kelly Master, Founder of Dining for Dignity & Emerge-SJ Strip Church.
Trained, equipped and resourced by Strip Church Ministries and XXX Church, Kelly has been outreaching the sex industry for the past two 1/2 years. Each month, Kelly and her team share the unconditional love of God in strip clubs across Philadelphia and South Jersey. Kelly also serves with XXX Church at the largest Sex Convention in America.
Public Speaker, Advocate, Abolitionist - Kelly has been recognized in the media, been invited to Universities, churches and local forums to share her knowledge on sex trafficking and sex industry outreach.
*Please refer to website www.diningfordignity.org for several endorsements of Kelly Master
Guest Speaker: Carl Thomas, X3 Groups Coordinator - XXX Church, President of Minuteman Agency
Carl is absolutely on fire about addressing the sexual addiction epidemic sweeping this country and is on staff with XXXChurch.com.... the #1 Christian porn site. Carl leads the largest sex convention outreach in America - Exxxotica NJ. He has a great depth of insight into the sex industry and leads with integrity and purpose.
Glad you asked:
Are men allowed to attend? Yes, we encourage it. The wealth of knowledge offered at training is quite beneficial for all. Fact is, many people in your church, your family, your job, are sexually broken. Training will be jam packed with statistics, experience, and factual info that will help you understand the heart behind the brokenness. Although our ministry is predominantly for the women in the club; we do interact with male managers, bouncers and employees whose hearts are touched as well. We need men who are trained who will be able to reach men from this background. However, this training is not an endorsement for men to wonder off as lone rangers on a mission. Accountability, responsibility and wisdom must prevail. We only take women into the clubs, but do have male drivers.
What age may attend? 18+ (under 18 with an adult and parental permission)
Is training for me? The training we offer will give you a great depth of insight into the sex industry. We are reaching close to 300 women a month in the South Jersey and Philadelphia area. These numbers will grow as our teams grow. It is imperative that churches and individuals understand their hearts, their brokenness and their specific needs. Simply put, this training is quite beneficial.
Will I be part of Emerge Strip Church afterward? Our teams are growing and training is mandatory to partake in our outreaches. However, attendance does not secure a spot on outreach team
Can I partner with Emerge but not go into strip clubs? Absolutely yes. This will be discussed in detail at training.
Prices: RSVP a must by 2/22
$50 a person (prepaid below) - covers breakfast buffet, materials and full day of training
Group rate prepaid (5 people) - $40 each person (group must be paid in full)
Emerge - Strip Church Alumni - $25 (must be willing to help Kelly)
(All names, emails and telephone numbers must be emailed to Kelly for group orders)
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to contact email@example.com

Given the fact that pyrit is updated very often, is SVN an option for pyrit updates? Being that its a python app, do we need to repackage it every time, or is there a simpler way?
Moreover, how in the world do you package python installers? I've looked into this a bit and it never seems to come out right. Anyone here have more experience with this?

If you attended a post-secondary institution after graduating from high school, you are considered a transfer student. In addition to completing an application for admission and paying the $30 non-refundable application fee, you must also provide the Office of Admissions with official transcripts from each institution of higher education you have attended. Official transcripts are those that are sent directly from the sending institution to Frostburg State University.
Your academic records will be evaluated by the Admissions Office following the guidelines listed below. Review your transfer credit evaluation carefully and bring any questions or concerns to the attention of the Transfer Coordinator and your advisor within your first semester of enrollment at FSU. If you still have questions about the evaluation of transferable credits or the appeals process for this audit, please contact the Director of Admissions.
The Maryland Higher Education Commission has set policies for students transferring within the public higher education system in our state. These policies allow students in other state colleges and universities to plan a total degree program and make un - interrupted progress toward finishing that program if they transfer.
The complete text of the Maryland Higher Education Commission General Education and Transfer Policy is reprinted in the Policies chapter at the end of this catalog. To summarize, when you first transfer to Frostburg State University, if you have earned credit for a course that meets the general education requirements at a Maryland public higher education institution, you will receive general education credit at Frostburg State University, up to a maximum of 36 credits (from a two-year institution). Once you are a degree-seeking student at FSU, you can only transfer equivalents of the specific courses in the FSU general education program for general education credit.
This general education transfer policy does not apply to students transferring from private institutions in Maryland or from non-Maryland institutions. Courses transferred from these institutions will be evaluated on a course equivalency basis.
If you have completed an associate's degree or have completed 56 semester hours of credit at a Maryland community college with a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or higher on a scale of 4.0, and if the credit is from a college or university parallel course, you will be given direct transfer to FSU.
If you have taken courses at a Maryland com - munity college as part of a recommended transfer program leading to a baccalaureate degree, those courses will be applied to a related degree program at FSU.
Transfer credit may be awarded for successful completion of course work compatible with the Frostburg State University curriculum, as documented by official transcripts forwarded directly by the sending institution to the FSU Office of Admissions. Such credit normally will be transferred only from regionally accredited institutions or institutions that are candidates for regional accreditation and for course work completed during military service that has been evaluated in the American Council on Education's Guide to the Evaluation of Educa - tional Experiences in the Armed Services.
Credit earned at degree-granting higher education institutions that are not region - ally accredited but that hold national or specialized accreditation recognized by the U.S. Department of Education; and at non-degree-granting institutions that are approved by the Maryland State Department of Education, the Maryland Higher Education Commission, or a state or local government agency authorized to approve curricula, will be considered for transfer only if an articulation agreement exists between Frostburg State University and the other institution or, at student request, on a case-by-case basis. If an individual review is requested, the student must provide the FSU Admissions Office a copy of the institutional catalog or program of study, and copies of course syllabi for those courses for which transfer credit is desired. The Admissions Office will evaluate his transfer credit in consultation with the FSU departments offering the courses.
Please check back in mid-November for updated information regarding scholarships.

On History
The Attic of EmpireBy Matthew Olshan
Remembering the National Air and Space Museum and the nation's guilty conscience.
People think of Washington, D.C., as a transitory place—a city of four-year leases, tourists, and revolving doors—an impression that dates back to the earliest days of the federal capital. The city fathers, desperate to counter the District's reputation as a provincial backwater, fought back by building monuments. Think of it as overcompensation, the attempt to create an illusion of age-old power. Why else plant a fifty-story Egyptian obelisk in the center of town?
For those of us who were born and raised in Washington, there was both a pride in living near the nation's symbolic center and a nagging feeling that the city didn't really belong to us. A drive down Massachusetts Avenue, past the mansions of Embassy Row, was a reminder of how much of the town was actually built on foreign soil. Even the parts that were supposed to be ours were somewhat foreign, in the sense that they belonged to the whole country. Our Fourth of July fairground was the National Mall; the church in which I sang was the National Cathedral; and our local museums were the Smithsonian Institution—the "Nation's Attic."
The museums were the best part of living in Washington. My friends and I took a proprietary interest in them. This might not be our town, exactly, but these were our museums, none more so than the National Air and Space Museum, which opened when I was nine years old and obsessed with outer space. Read More

Eric Prydz announces Epic 2.0
Listen to Eric Prydz on iHeartRadio
North America is about to get really epic. Eric Prydz has announced a new North American tour via a short trailer on YouTube - EPIC 2.0.
Eric's shows are known to be visually remarkable. He introduced his EPIC concept in 2011 at London's O2 Academy Brixton. The show boasted an impressive stage set-up, and Eric's official website names it as one of the first shows to feature "3D holograms in a live music show environment."
Tour dates have not been announced yet, but are expected to be revealed soon. Check out the EPIC 2.0 announcement trailer below:
Take a look at a little of what you can expect, as Eric talks about EPIC below:

When you go back 40 generations,
and you have roughly a trillion ancestors—more than the number of
people who existed at the time Charlemagne lived. (Virtually all
family trees have consanguineous marriages, so the same person will appear
in multiple places in a tree.)
NationalGeographic.com article explains how there comes a
point in history when "all individuals who have any
descendants among the present-day individuals" (that's us) "are
actually ancestors of all present-day individuals."
"all Europeans alive today have among their ancestors the same man
or woman who lived around 1400 ... About a thousand years ago, a
peculiar situation prevailed: 20 percent of the adult Europeans
alive in 1000 would turn out to be the ancestors of no one living
today (that is, they had no children or all their descendants
eventually died childless); each of the remaining 80 percent would
turn out to be a direct ancestor of every European living today."
I don't have Story View yet or I'd show you what it looks like,
but you
can see more Story View details and screenshots on the
Genea-Musings blog (Randy has had access to Story View for
months now).
Your search results also will start with a list of
records you've already attached to the person you're researching,
so you can see what you have and what you need.
On a recent visit to our local Cincinnati History Library and Archives, we saw how much unpublished material local historical societies have. Much of it isn't yet in online catalogs. The historical society for your ancestor's hometown is definitely worth a visit.
If you have ancestors in St. Louis like Chris O'Donnell does, Archivist Dennis Northcott, who shared McEnnis' writings with O'Donnell on the show, recommends searching the Missouri Historical Society's Genealogy and Local History Index. The index lets you search names and other details from a variety of the library's collections.
You also can email Northcott a request to receive the monthly Genealogy and House History News email newsletter (put "subscribe" in the subject line and your name in the body of the email message).
Northcott told me that only brief excerpts made it on air (it's normal for TV shows to take a lot of footage and edit it down to the slivers that appear onscreen), but you can read the entire cholera reminiscence on the library's website.
Two additional reminiscences of Michael McEnnis include:
Feb. 12-14, 2015, the Federation of Genealogical Societies' annual conference will take place in conjunction with FamilySearch's RootsTech conference in Salt Lake City.
Attendees of one event will be able to participate in the other for an additional fee.
From the announcement: "Conducting both conferences at the same time in the same facility will give interested attendees the option to benefit from both conference programs for a nominal additional cost."
You can see the full announcement on the FamilySearch blog.

I doubt the Bears go after an outside WR in round one Marshall is going to be around for a while yet and Alshon Jeffery should enough last year to make us believe he is going to excel in this new offensive scheme a Dlinemen would be a better fit like Nix or Crichton in the 2nd round I could see us going with Colvin.

I'm not a fan of Diggs for the niners, even though I think cornerback will be where they go. I think Diggs will be better served at safety in the NFL for some reason; maybe slide up to the slot every now and again. He could easily follow in the mold of Vaccarro who played up at the line a ton on defense but is really a safety. His size doesn't really fit what the niners are looking for in cornerbacks either; both Gilbert and Colvin are better fits given their size.
I haven't worked up anything on many wide receivers yet. it's definitely a possibility in round 2, and very likely, we will draft the wrong one lol. whatever golden touch the niners have with their draft picks seems to exclude wide receivers for some reason. Outside of crabtree, we haven't drafted and developed an acceptable wide receiver since T.O. This would be the third straight year we would have to draft one in the early to mid rounds because we can't find one to stick (hopefully patton is that guy).
Stupid NFL coaches and their need to reach for quarterbacks....

can't see Atlanta going with either DE or OT in the first two rounds of this coming draft. They took Lamar Holmes in the 3rd last year to replace Clabo and they have taken a DE in 2011, 2012, and 2 in 2013.
That being said, based on the contract situations, the most likely picks for the Falcons would be WR, TE, DT and LB.

Solid for Chicago. There are no teams that have enough DB's with adequate enough size to combat that all on the field at the same time.
X- Brandon Marshall: 6'4" 235 lbs
Y- Brandon Coleman: 6'6" 225 lbs
Z- Alshon Jeffery: 6'3" 220 lbs
TE- Martellus Bennett: 6'6" 265 lbs

Ah didn't notice him thanks. I am a Bama homer so I think he will play his way into the top 15 but he could really help the Bills.

Is there a way we can get the word out a little better the just by "word of mouth."
Maybe we can get a quick flyer together. Make it into a .pdf and post it on line. Then all of us can print it up and post it around our local areas. Places like sporting good stores, coffee shops, or local hang outs that allow public postings. It might gererate a few more participants.
Anyway, I'm going to try and be there. Let me know if you need some additional help. I've got a couple of spare GPSrs, I can loan to the cause (a 3 and a V).
Maybe Sui G can loan a couple of his more non-Traditional cache containers.
KB let me know (pm or e-mail) if I can help.

Last year's event:
Last year was "free-form", not really an organized program. It was a cold, windy day, and was a month later than this year's event. I scheduled it on March 6th, because a bunch of medallion hunters have an "event" later in the day, and I thought I could give them something to do prior to that. I think it will work out very well.
Last year three "new" people showed up: Buzzygirl, Diggin'4_it, and THX1138. They left the event and purchased a GPSr. I think the "show and tell" worked.
Anyway, I think this year will be the same. We may wake up on March 6th to 6" of snow, so I don't want some type of schedule that we feel obligated to follow. So my plan is this:
I have 5 hours allotted. That is way too long for a program. If someone shows up at 2:00 pm, I'd like that person to feel welcome. I will be helping my Winter Carnival friends who attend, and it would be cool to have people available to help others.
I plan to bring an assortment of cache containers for demonstration. There will be at least a couple temporary caches at the park, and hopefully, three new ones.

Around St. Paul: Bird's-eye view on the riverfront
Joe Kimball
Star Tribune
Published March 4, 2005
More bald eagles are roosting on the Mississippi River near downtown St. Paul than river folks can ever recall.
Houseboat resident Anne Hunt saw a dozen perched early Wednesday in the area between the dock for the Padelford excursion boats and the University of Minnesota's Centennial Showboat. In other years, the most she has seen was five or six at a time.
Eagle watchers often head farther south on the river to Wabasha or Winona to see convocations of the big birds during their migration. The increasing number in St. Paul highlights the river's improving health, Hunt said.
Jim Kosmo of the Padelford fleet saw 11 eagles perched in a cottonwood tree near his office one day, and then 14 in the area the next. "Madeline, the office cat, is afraid to go outside" he said.

I was three hours late since I was busy not finding caches down in Eagan trying to make my next milestone, but it looks like it was a great event, and a good time was had by all. I got to visit with KB and team Zoejam, and got to see KCOGRN, mucluck, merkong, and Good-boy briefly. I also got to see the largest TB I've ever seen. Hopefully next year I won't be so close to a milestone and be able to attend the whole thing.

Hope everyone had fun at geo 101. I intended to go, but was waylaid at the last minute by a youth group function of my son's that requested chaperones at the last minute. It certainly was a lovely day for the geo 101 event!

Sorry you couldn't make it Buzzy....it was a wonderful day...pay no attention to KC0GRN he should have worn boots!!
I don't think the event could have been much better the weather was spectacular, a nice turn out of both new and experienced cachers. Everyone chipped in to help, some spent the whole day others dropped by to say Hi and offer support.
Lot's of learning happening, I over heard or participated in discussions of, cache size, types, puzzle caches, how to enter waypoints, how to log caches, and how to log travel bugs. In addition to that myself and I belive everyone who attended met someone new....and now can put a face to the name read in logs.
Ian, Thank You!!!

Wished I could have attended.
It was my intent, but I got stuck playing "Daddy day care" and my youngest was feeling a little under the weather.
Sounds like everyone had a good time and lots of learning was going on.
Glad to see the weather cooperated as well.
Thanks Ian for setting this one up!!!!

I'm all about fancy kitchen gear: a colorful cast-iron pot, vintage cutlery and artfully crumpled linen tea towels. I want all of the pretty things that I can't afford. (Williams-Sonoma, you saucy minx.)
But sometimes kitchen tools can border on superfluous – keeping it simple and uncluttered is where I'm at these days.
I'll admit, those spiralized zucchini noodles look pretty rad. (You know what I'm talking about right? The Spiralizer is a thing.) But for now, and probably forever, my vegetable peeler serves me just as well for similar results.
We're going for simple here. Just you, the vegetable peeler and some zucchini with a super easy garlic-packed slow cooker tomato sauce.
I'm not joking about the garlic. I used a whole head of garlic, because that's the kind of girl I am.
It's cooked low and slow in the crock pot for maximum tomato-garlic goodness and minimal effort.

'"I feel good. I wouldn't play if I wasn't ready to go," Connolly said. "I felt that I was and it was good to get in there and get that one game under your belt, get back some of the timing. Now we've got all week to prepare for the home opener."'

The Child and Adult Care Food Program (CACFP) is a nutrition education and meal reimbursement program helping providers serve nutritious and safely prepared meals and snacks to children and adults in day care settings. This dataset includes the names and locations of participating day care sites and whether or not the site is Breastfeeding Friendly Certified with CACFP, participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Child Care Settings (EWPHCCS) project, or participating in the Eat Well Play Hard in Day Care Homes (EWPHDCH) project. This dataset excludes Child and Adult Care Food Program participation provided at homeless shelters and legally-exempt day care home providers.
Not all counties in NYS are serviced by the grantees implementing the project EWPHCSS.
The EWPHDCH project is currently limited to the areas served by the contracted agencies.
The Child and Adult Care Food Program dataset is related to the Child Care Related Programs dataset on the www.Open.ny.gov website, however this dataset includes additional nutrition information. The Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) is currently working to update the Child Care Related Programs dataset on a more frequent schedule with the OPEN NY team. OCFS and DOH will then be able to synchronize in the near future. Temporarily, DOH has omitted addresses for regulated child care providers that provide home care since this information is available on www.Open.ny.gov by using this link: https://data.ny.gov/Human-Services/Child-Care-Regulated-Programs/cb42-qumz.
For more information, please visit http://www.health.ny.gov/prevention/nutrition/cacfp/. The "About" tab contains additional details concerning this dataset.

High Energy Theory Seminar - Josephine Suh, MIT - "Entanglement growth during thermalization via gauge/gravity duality"
I will present results on scaling regimes in entanglement growth during thermalization in holographic field theories. These scaling regimes are derived from the time evolution of entanglement entropy of spatial regions in a class of idealized thermalizing states in which a homogenous, isotropic density of energy is instantaneously injected into the vacuum of a CFT. The scaling formulae which apply before saturation only depend on macroscopic properties of the final equilibrium state as well the injected energy density and are expected to apply to a broad class of thermalizing states in strongly coupled field theories.
The time-dependent entanglement entropy is calculated using extremal surfaces in the gravity dual, and interestingly we find that ``critical extremal surfaces" inside the event horizon of the black hole, dual to the finite equilibrium state, result in regimes of linear growth and ``memory loss" for large regions at long time scales. We propose a picture of entanglement propagation in which a wave or ``entanglement tsunami" carries entanglement inward from the boundary of regions, and which captures universal linear growth as well as characteristics of saturation. We also conjecture some bounds on the rate of entanglement growth in relativistic systems.

Charleston airmen return after 60 day deployment
Charleston airmen return after 60 day deployment
About 120 members of the Air Force have returned to their home base in Charleston after a 60-day deployment overseas.
Staff Sgt. William O'Brien said Tuesday that members of the 16th Airlift Squadron have returned home safely following their deployment to Southwest Asia. O'Brien said he could not say exactly where the service members were deployed.
The crews flew and supported C-17 Globemaster transport aircraft during some 1,000 missions and logged more than 2,500 combat flying hours. The aircraft transported 36 million pounds and cargo and about 4,000 people during the deployment.

restoration/renovation of and addition to historic vaucluse, machipongo, va.
muse architects
bethesda, md.
Stephen Muse, FAIA, liked this historic house from the get-go. "It had to do with the simplicity of the floor plan, compared to the way houses are built today, when things are so convoluted and you have to walk through galleries to get places," he says. "It's something all of us should think about more."
After clearing away the bad additions on the eastern end of the plantation house, Muse created a hyphen that connects to a one-story structure containing a new kitchen. Its attached breakfast room, which faces the water, is designed as an enclosed porch and echoes the twin Georgian entry porches, which Muse replicated on the waterfront side. A judge called it "a very sensitive restoration of this kind of housing. It could have gone off-track in a lot of ways, but it didn't."

Pistorius Shot Girlfriend Through Bathroom Door: Reports
(NEWSER) – Covering his face, South African runner Oscar Pistorius arrived at a Pretoria court today via police car, the BBC reports. After being charged with one count of murder, he was in tears; prosecutors are making a case that the crime was premeditated, the AP notes.
The court pushed Pistorius' bail hearing to next week in the case that found his girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, dead in his home. In the meantime, Pistorius will stay in the police station.
