ERC JUNIOR STARS JOIN GOVERNMENT MINISTERS TO HIGHLIGHT ROAD SAFETY AWARENESS The FIA ERC Junior Championship stars contesting the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally this week were joined by two Government ministers to raise awareness of the FIA Action for Road Safety campaign prior to the start of the asphalt spectacular yesterday.
At the Ballycultra Village located within the grounds of the Ulster Folk and Transport Museum north of Belfast on Thursday, the eight ERC Juniors and their co-drivers joined Health Minister Edwin Poots and Junior Minister Jonathan Bell to promote the hugely important initiative.
Among the ERC Junior drivers present were inaugural event winner Jan Äerný plus new recruits Gino Bux, Alex Parpottas and Stephen Wright.
Sporting giants unite on ERC Circuit of Ireland Rally
Two sporting giants will be united when the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally takes place this week.
Ulster Rugby start and Ireland international Stephen Ferris will accompany seven-time Circuit winner for a high-speed passenger ride through several stages used on the FIA European Rally Championship qualifier, which is based in Belfast over the next two days.
McRae will be driving his classic Vauxhall Magnum on selected stages and Ferris has accepted an invitation from the event organisers to come along for the ride.
ERC fans flock to Belfast ceremonial start
Several hundred fans - plus live television coverage on BBC Northern Ireland - helped to make the ceremonial start for round four of the FIA European Rally Championship in Belfast yesterday evening a huge success.
Performances by musicians from Different Drums and Irish dancers Royal Tara, a guest appearance by World Rally Championship star Kris Meeke, autograph signing sessions and face painting helped to create a memorable occasion as the 31 crews tackling the international section of the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally - plus several frontrunners from the national event - were waved over the starting ramp by the Lord Mayor of Belfast.
Prior to the ceremonial start getting underway, the FIA and ERC priority drivers selected their road positions for day one with the help of nine giant gold balloons and the Royal Tara Irish dancers.
Meeke gives tyre guidance to ERC Junior stars
Kris Meeke, who is attending round four of the FIA European Rally Championship as a guest of Eurosport Events, the ERC promoter, has given advice to the eight ERC Junior drivers contesting the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally this week.
Local hero and WRC star Meeke joined Michelin engineer Dominique Bravy for the first of several training sessions being arranged for the ERC Juniors in 2014. The event offered guidance on tyre usage and management. Following a presentation by Bravy, Meeke offered his expertise to the ERC's rising stars.
Michelin is the exclusive tyre supplier to the new-for-2014 FIA ERC Junior Championship, which has attracted a total of 19 registrations to date.
Q&A: Kris Meeke
Factory Citroën WRC driver Kris Meeke is attending his home round of the ERC, the Discover Northern Ireland Circuit of Ireland Rally, as a guest of ERC promoter Eurosport Events.
The last time we saw you was in Ypres when you were showing off the new Peugeot 208T16. How impressed were you with the performance of the car, particularly on the Acropolis Rally?
"It was pretty special obviously for Craig to get his first victory but also for the guys at Peugeot Sport who have taken a long time to develop the car and really refine it. I was lucky enough to be part of that development last year. I am so happy for the guys that they hit the ground running and it's a 100 per cent record at the minute. For a special event like the Acropolis - okay one day was on Tarmac this year - but it's still a world-renowned and tough event. It was very good for everyone at Peugeot and it's great for the R5 category. It bodes well for the future. Craig will obviously take a lot of confidence from that and hopefully keep the ball rolling on the Circuit of Ireland Rally."
You're a guest of Eurosport this weekend. What are you going to be doing and what do you think of Eurosport's coverage of the ERC?
"You should probably say Eurosport is a guest of mine this weekend being on my home patch! This morning we went out with Jean-Pierre Nicolas [ERC Sporting Manager] over the famous stage Hamiltons Folly. I have never actually competed on it but I've watched so many videos of years gone by in the 1980s with all these Audi Quattros breaking on the jumps. This morning I was asking Jean-Pierre if there was any chance to get a car and get a start tomorrow. It's just exceptional and I would really love to be in a car competing. They are the best Tarmac stages in the world and all credit to Bobby Willis. He's got the ERC back to the Circuit of Ireland and hopefully now the rally can have a home because that's what it has been lacking over the last 10 years. It hasn't had a base and somewhere to work from. But here we have a fantastic venue in the Titanic Quarter. To build something from here would be pretty special and as everyone has seen the roads here are simply fantastic."
And how much would you have liked to have been competing on the rally this weekend - were you working on a plan to take part?
"It was never really talked about. Maybe in the back of your mind if the Citroën DS3 R5 might have been ready it could be an opportunity but it wasn't to be. But there was never anything said with any conviction. I just have to keep my priorities in check and focus on what I have to do in the world championship. It's always nice when a big championship comes to your country but very frustrating when you're not part of it. But we'll see for the future. Maybe the world championship could come to Ireland again or I end up in the ERC you never know. But for sure some time I would like to compete on my home rally in a big championship."

Araujo Eisele Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 1993
Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley, California
Winemaker's Notes
The 1993 vintage is a pure, classic expression of the Eisele Vineyard aromas and flavors of black cherry, cassis, chocolate, mineral and spice, complemented by toasty sweet vanilla and a clear cedar note. Surprisingly elegant and polished, the wine's intense richness is balanced by exceptionally fine and silky tannins, delivering a lingering full-bodied finish.
Critical Acclaim
The Wine Advocate - "As I reported last year, the 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard is a spectacular wine from a vintage that has consistently received unfavorable press (particularly from the Wine Spectator). It seems to me that if the 1993 vintage were taken out of the context of the historical succession of outstanding years in the nineties, and put in the eighties, qualitatively, 1993 would tower over the likes of 1987, 1985, or 1984. The Eisele Vineyard 1993 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the half dozen or so candidates for wine of the vintage. I have tasted it three times out of bottle, once rating it as high as 98, but never less than 96. It is a mind-boggling Cabernet Sauvignon that is remarkably well-balanced for its size and intensity. The color is an opaque purple, and the nose offers up smoky, chocolatey, blackcurrant, licorice, and mineral scents. On the palate, the wine reveals fabulous density, concentration, sweetness of fruit as well as tannin, and a 30-40 second finish. Although there is a high percentage of new oak, this wine has completely soaked it up, a testament to its extract and concentration of fruit. While the wine displays a certain precociousness, unusual for a 1993, there is plenty of tannin lurking in the finish, but it is well-concealed by the wine's exceptional richness. This beauty is destined to age effortlessly for 20-25 years. The Eisele Vineyard has always produced concentrated Cabernet Sauvignons with blackcurrant/cassis personalities intermixed with a mineral component. What the Araujos have been able to achieve is to intensify the fruit character, as well as the wine's purity and definition. That, plus high quality French oak barrels and a natural approach to winemaking has resulted in a succession of extraordinary Cabernets that began in 1991, and shows no signs of abating."
Wine Spectator - "Remarkably youthful and vibrant, with spicy currant, plum, black cherry and anise flavors that pick up touches of earth, mocha and cigar box. Enormous complexity, depth and range of flavors. Has hit an ideal drinking plateau now, but could well last another decade. Decant.--1993 California Cabernet retrospective. Drink now through 2012. 1,285 cases made."
Araujo Winery
Since 1971, some of California's most ageworthy and intensely-flavored Cabernet Sauvignons have been made from grapes grown at the Eisele Vineyard, located on a benchland near the northern end of Napa Valley, just east of Calistoga. Protected by the Palisades Mountains to the north and cooled by westerly breezes from the Chalk Hill Gap, this 38-acre vineyard is planted on warm cobbly soils that produce a low-yielding crop of exceptionally concentrated fruit. Bart and Daphne Araujo acquired the Eisele Vineyard in 1990, and committed to producing only wines of the highest caliber and distinction. Araujo Estate produces 4 wines each vintage: Cabernet Sauvignon Eisele Vineyard, Altagracia, Syrah Eisele Vineyard and Sauvignon Blanc Eisele Vineyard. View all Araujo Wines
About Napa Valley
It's hard not to think of Napa Valley when thinking of California wines. The region is, after all, the one that brought world recognition to California wine making. The area was settled by a few choice wine families in the 1960's who bet that the wines of the area would grow and flourish. They were right. The Napa wine industry really took off in the 1980's, when vineyard lands were scooped up and vines were planted throughout the county. A number of wineries emerged, from large conglomerates to small boutiques to cult classics. Cabernet Sauvignon is definitely the grape of choice here, with many winemakers also focusing on Bordeaux Blends. Whites are usually Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
Notable FactsWithin the Napa Valley lie smaller sub-AVAs that lend even more character specifics to the wines. Furthest south is Carneros, followed by Yountville, Oakville & Rutherford. Above those two is St.-Helena and finally, just granted an AVA, Calistoga. These areas are situated on the valley floor and are known for creating rich, smooth Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Chardonnay. There are a few mountain regions as well, nestled on the slopes overlooking the valley AVAs. Those include Howell Mountain, Stags Leap and Mount Veeder. Wines from the mountain regions are often more structured and firm, benefiting from more time in the bottle to evolve and soften.
About CaliforniaIt's not rare to see a wine's country of origin listed as "California." A country unto itself in the wine world, California makes enough varieties and styles to match many European wine countries. It produces a diverse range of wines that span the quality spectrum.
The most famous of the California wine regions is Napa Valley, and these wines are certainly outstanding – but it's not as broad and diverse as its larger neighbor, Sonoma County. Down south, Santa Barbara's Santa Maria Valley is well-known for its Rhône blends, as well as cool-climate varieties like Pinot and Chardonnay. The Central Coast, the largest California AVA, has many different microclimates that lead to a wide range of wines with many sub-AVAs.

This discussion may contain spoilers!
Call me a grump, but it doesn't seem like a lot of players take the glamour rule very seriously. In the "why didn't the majority...?" thread, most players seem to have let Colin and Toad walk around in the middle of New York, throwing caution to the wind and risking the exposure of all fables, not to mention flaunting a rule that has been enforced for everyone for centuries, mostly because:
1: Colin and Toad are cool! Don't wanna disappoint them, nu-uh. Who cares if Fabletown caves in on itself, anyway?
2: Snow is such a big meanie, asking us to do our jobs! That's what you get for not bagging your love interest before she gets promoted. She gets all uppity, no time for dithering or sexual tension anymore.
3: Making people do stuff they don't want to is obviously wrong! Always. Yup. Well, except for making your kids brush their teeth and go to school, of course. And putting dangerous people in prison if they're realistically and provably a threat to society. Those are okay, as long as you're not being a dick about it. What does that have to do with anything?
All this is ignoring that letting Colin stay means confining him to Bigby's tiny apartment, that Toad is risking not only himself and his son but also Fabletown in its entirety because he's too cheap to spend the money, that Toad Jr. is growing up surrounded by children he has absolutely nothing in common with because his father is too proud to live among other non-human-looking fables and that the farm itself is a perfectly pleasant place to live.
Fabletown isn't populated by safe, lofty, post-modern moralists like us, it's populated by freaks and misfits from dangerous, brutal worlds who have been through hell and are trying to make comfortable lives for themselves without drawing the attention of the billions of people who would want to dissect and study or just straight out eliminate them given the chance, not to mention the hundreds of worlds beyond ruled by an empire that just wants them dead.
Unlike us, they can't afford to be sloppy, or cut corners, or respect everybody's rights all the time regardless of the cost to the community, and to ignore that is to disrespect the setting and the struggles of the characters because we can't be bothered to immerse ourselves and instead pretend that their lives are like ours so they should obviously be held to the same standards we are.
Maybe I'm just sore that nobody seems to agree with me, but it feels like a waste that players dismiss the de-facto most controversial issue in the game and a significant element of the setting as black and white just because they don't want their Bigby to disappoint his friends and don't like taking orders.
Am I making any sense?
Edit: I'd very much like it if people who vote "Dislike" at any particular comment also take the time to write why they disagree in a comment of their own. The voting system is nifty for finding out how popular your opinions are, but articulated arguments are more helpful and constructive in a discussion, both for organizing your own thoughts on the subject and for allowing your ideas to challenge others and be challenged in return.

Disasters can happen here
(Cleveland) – With over a dozen people dead after tornadoes swept across the plains and the south on Sunday. Greater Clevelanders are being reminded that this is the season for unsettled weather, and residents need to be prepared.
Cuyahoga County Emergency Management Agency administrator Walter Topp feels every family should have a NOAA weather radio that sounds an alarm when threatening conditions are approaching.
He says residents can also sign up for disaster notifications from the county's Ready Alert system.
Topp tells Newsradio WTAM 1100, that twisters can and do touch down in our area, with one doing so in Cuyahoga County last summer.
Topp says if a major disaster were to strike, residents should expect to be on their own for up to 72 hours. He adds, neighbors are the actual first responders, and should have an emergency survival kit in their homes.

Over the past several weeks, Loras was given two very significant gifts from generous donors. $500,000 was committed by John and Charlotte Gavin of Iowa City for a new endowed scholarship. The other, in the amount of $100,000, was given to Loras from the estate of the late Charles (Chuck) Pauler of Stevensville, Michigan.
Which colleges are the best places to learn, grow, and succeed? Of course count Loras College in that group! Loras College was one of only 20 Catholic colleges and universities designated as a 2010-2011 College of Distinction. Colleges included on the list were recognized because of their success in four designated areas: Engaged Students, Great Teaching, Vibrant Communities and Successful Outcomes.
In the last Loras Link, we updated you on the leadership changes within Loras Colleges Board of Regents. Honoring that change, the Loras College Board of Regents surprised Chairman Thomas J.Tauke ('72) by announcing the establishment of an endowed scholarship in his name. The board provided personal donations totaling $125,000, recognizing Chairman Taukes successful and unprecedented term of seven years.
When you walk across the graduation stage with diploma in hand and feeling anxious to step into the working world, Loras College leaves you with the motto, Once a Duhawk, Always a Duhawk. But what does that motto mean in post-graduate life? How can you still stay connected to the community that was your home for four amazing years?
Do you know any high school juniors and seniors? If so, encourage them to visit Loras College during Iowa Private College Week, August 1 through August 5. Students and their families are invited to tour campus, learn about academic areas and student activities, and attend an informational financial aid session. Visits to Loras campus can be requested at two different times throughout the week, one beginning at 9 a.m. and the other at 1 p.m.
Help a current Loras student, reconnect with a classmate or learn something about your alma mater. Attend an upcoming event and you can do all three! Across the country Alumni, parents and friends are gathering with each other through service, networking and other activities. Don't miss out on an event near you. Click here and check out our listing of upcoming gatherings and sign up today. You are also welcome to join us on the Loras campus for performances, lecturers and receptions. Become more involved with our Duhawk family!
Sooner than we know, campus will begin buzzing with student athletes. The football team arrives on campus August 13th, with the other teams Soccer, Volleyball, Cross Country, Tennis and Golf filtering onto campus over the weeks that follow. Mark your calendars and join our athletes as they kick off, tee off, or spike off (you get the point) the 2011-2012 school year and athletic seasons!
Summers bring warm temperatures, fragrant flowers and of course, weddings! Did you know that Christ the King Chapel at Loras hosts weddings held on campus, and that they are guided through the Office of Spiritual Life? Over the last few years, about half a dozen wedding have been celebrated each year at Christ the King. For more detailed information about getting married at Loras, please contact the Office of Spiritual Life at 563-588-7108.Congratulations to all those who were recently married at Christ the King Chapel!

This is actually a fallacy that a vagina must be "fresh". It is a body orifice with naturally occurring bacteria and a normal musky odor that is not offensive nor should be covered up with artificial scents. Bathing/showering with warm water is all that is needed as soaping/douching or spraying can cause imbalance in the normal bacterial flora and result in rashes, abnormal discharge or irritation.
If you have unusual odor that is "fishy" or ammonia-like or rotten egg smelling, then you may well have an infection that needs to be evaluated, especially if secretions are colored or highly irritated.

Condensed Sugar: A Cannes of Brad and Angelina
It was a big week for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, and it started even before Cannes. First Brad took Pax and Maddox to a movie on Long Island while Angie headed to The Netherlands. The beautiful couple then reunited in France to walk the red carpet together at the premiere of Inglourious Basterds. They kept the party going later that night, but Brad and Angelina weren't the only ones making headlines.

Now that Pokemon X and Y have been out for a while, I've decided to think about what my favorite generations of Pokemon are, and what my least favorite generations are. So this is sort of like a top six, since I've found plenty of enjoyment from each era in the gaming series... but anyways, I probably won't pump a whole lot of thought into this small list. Enjoy~
6. 5th Generation (Pokemon Black/White and Black 2/White 2)
The fifth generation of Pokemon began with the promise of an improved story, and the largest expansion of new Pokemon from one generation to the next. However, the results were met with skepticism from both veteran players and casual fans. While some people enjoyed the move from static sprites to animated ones, the drop in art detail was somewhat unsatisfying. Not to mention that the story, despite all of its praise, isn't very different from other Pokemon games. The trend of a twelve year old child capturing a potentially world-destroying creature, opposing psychotic evil organizations is something that really ought to stop, but probably never will. Competitively, most players still relied heavily on Stealth Rocks, and Weather to bolster their teams... all the while sending many cool Pokemon into obscurity. Although this is present in fourth generation, the fact that 5th only made it worse, doesn't help its case. And the most abysmal system to ever grace a Pokemon game, the Dream World, Black and White and its direct sequels are by far my least favorite games in the series. While Dream World abilities are cool, they are simply too difficult to obtain, and simulators and hacking was perhaps, at its peak.
5. 1st Generation (Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow)
There is nothing quite like the original Pokemon games. It has, by far, the greatest story of any other game. The subtle hints about Team Rocket's motives, the story of Mewtwo, and the underdog hero really make for a great narrative. It was world that you could explore, without anyone telling you where to go. The first look at Pokemon presented a world run by adults, and it wasn't littered with morally positioned messaging-- and is probably one of the only generations that truly didn't care about the influence of games, especially something that would become as popular as Pokemon. The original 151 Pokemon generally carry well-rounded stats, compared to the specialized spreads many modern Pokemon have (going by averages here). Although having only one category for Special wasn't a good system, and the competitive scene was fairly vacant unless you had a link cable and some friends... (but getting perfect Pokemon wasn't quite on the table yet). Still, I think that this generation does many things that others failed to repeat. The sprites may have been fairly...obscure, but looking at the initial designs of the Pokemon, they were actually quite better than they are today.
4. 2nd Generation (Pokemon Gold/Silver/Crystal)
Often attributed to being the greatest Pokemon generation by fans, the second generation was a major leap forward from Red/Blue/Yellow. The special stat got divided into two separate categories, Pokerus was invented, berries appeared, there were sixteen badges instead of eight, there was a radio, and my goodness, Pokemon eggs. That's only scratching the surface of the many changes that Gold and Silver implemented in this fantastic return to Pokemon. The story was also pretty decent, I think probably second best. It was great to see changes happening all around Kanto, and who could forget the epic battle with Red inside of Mt. Silver? So why do I have Gold and Silver placed in the middle of the road? Despite its many advents, and its excellent addition to the Pokedex, I feel that this generation isn't something I could turn to again. Although, if I had to pick between playing Gold and Silver, Red and Blue, versus Black and White, I'd probably go with the earlier games. But given what my top three generations are, I can't say that I would place G/S/C over them. It's an excellent single player experience, but it is entirely detached from the other generations. Whenever I hear people playing Pokemon on their phones or emulators, I can't help but shake my head. I have a desire to transfer my hard trained Pokemon down from generation to generation.
3. 3rd Generation (Pokemon Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald (FR/LG)
People have been clamoring for a remake of R/S/E ever since the 3DS has been around, and I wouldn't mind seeing that either. This is probably my most played generation...and when I first started getting somewhat serious about Pokemon. I had two Gameboy Advances and an SP; a copy of Ruby, Sapphire, Fire Red and Leaf Green. I traded like crazy between my own game files, and battled myself via the secret base system and as a result made many level 100 Pokemon. Although this definitely was the turning point as far as presenting suitable narratives (by my standards), and where the new Pokemon designs started to get a little iffy, it still stands as perhaps the pinnacle of Pokemon expansion. Hoenn is a wonderful region, setting alongside Kanto and Johto as the most memorable for me. It was the start of further integration between players, with a higher use for mystery gift, and record swapping. It is regrettable that many fans of the Pokemon series stopped here, or even didn't make it to R/S/E.
2. 6th Generation (Pokemon X/Y)
While there are some people who aren't taken with the newest addition to the franchise, 6th Generation corrects many of the mistakes of the previous gen, and has won me over as being the second greatest in my opinion. The story is mediocre, and the characters are cliche and uninteresting. Despite all of that, the customization, the mechanics, and the connectivity alone make Pokemon X and Y better than most. It is now easier than ever to battle and trade over wireless communications, and there are obviously, more Pokemon to choose from for your team than any other generation. With the addition of the Fairy Type, there is more thought going into teams, and who can forget about the advent of Mega Pokemon? Before the games were released, many players were worried about the over powered nature of Mega Pokemon, but as it turns out, they aren't so hard to counter due to their lack of a hold item. The Kalos region is filled with charm and diverse cities that are colorful and enjoyable to visit. The transition to 3D is amazing, and exceeded my expectations of how the game would look. Some may disagree, but I think that this generation proves that Pokemon can move in interesting directions.
1. 4th Generation (Diamond/Pearl/Platinum (SS/HG)
Yes, the shocking revelation is here. My number one generation of Pokemon is indeed, the fourth generation. And it has nothing to do with the remake of Gold and Silver, which I really thought was mediocre compared to D/P/Pt. The first entrants onto the DS were amazing, with the first iterations to have wireless capabilities, allowing players to trade around the world for the first time. It was so favored competitively, that when fifth generation was released, many battlers remained behind. Although this was the generation that spawned Stealth Rocks, it was during a time before team preview, and players were forced to scout for the threats on an opponent's team. I was surprised that, despite how many of my friends played R/S/E or FR/LG, very few made the transition to Pokemon on the DS. Yet I still racked up nearly 400 hundred hours on my Diamond. I feel that this placement is partially on the account of a number of things. It elevated what 3rd generation was, before 5th gen took the series down a ruinous path. It predates the evil curse of dreamworld abilities, and it stood before the overdose of simulators and hacked Pokemon. I don't think Pokemon was better than it was then, and while I feel the future is bright, it may take some time to reach this lofty height again.
Do you like this list? Or do you utterly, completely disagree? Regardless, leave a comment if you feel like it! How would you rate the generations of Pokemon? Feel free to plop it down below somewhere. I would very much like to hear people's thoughts.

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 1:20am
There's been lots of talk this week on InsideLacrosse.com about the importance of coaching.
Brian Coughlin's excellent statistical analysis kicked off this discussion in the office. He looked at "luck" — otherwise how far above or below expectations a team finished. One point he proposed is that it's not luck, but great coaching that drives a team above its expected win totals.
So which coach is deserving of coach of the year? There seems to be a consensus that the final matchup featured two of the best in the game. Here are our thoughts.
John Desko, Syracuse — "This may be the most coachable I've ever had" was a fond quotation reported from Desko about his Orange squad in 2013, but that hyperbole seems appropriate when you look what they did. This team lagged at the face-off X all year yet seemed to often out-possess their opponents, and when they were squarely on the other side of that line, they managed to still make the most of out limited touches more often than not. Think about what that says of Desko's strategy and adaptability: he either devised ways to tip possession back in his favor (good groundball play, limiting turnovers), or figured out ways to strike quickly to get back in a game.
His team showed at times uncanny savvy on the field in terms of offensive flow, movement and off ball play. While some of that is intrinsic, a lot of that is coaching. He shuffled his roster routinely to get the right pairings on the field to exploit match ups, knowing his players' strengths and weaknesses and capitalizing on the pluses while not getting exploited by the minuses. It is impressive how interchangeable the team's lineup became at stretches and yet how well they could all play together.
Again, some of that is ability, a lot of it is coaching. His personnel nuance is even better when looked at through the lens of his roster's adversity — yes they are Syracuse and have a lot of talent, but a lot of players expected to make big contributions went down early, and the team still exceeded expectations. And look at his team's play in one-goal games. The poise, discipline and confidence needed to gut out that many wins comes down from the coaching staff, not to mention often the plays scripted up to pull out those games.
From being on the sidelines with Syracuse during their game against Georgetown it might be easier for me to pick against Desko here, as he comes across as fairly low energy and hands off in games, not tinkering with much or hollering constantly from the sideline trying to micromanage the action, but if anything that experience pushed me more to vote for him. The calm confidence he held all game you could sense amongst his charges, and his simple yet impactful instructions carried the day in a difficult game ending a brutal two week slog for the Orange.
At the end of the day, if I told you back in February that Syracuse would go 16-4 and make the national championship game let alone hold a lead heading into the second half, I'd be looked at skeptically at best. Now if I say John Desko might have had his best year coaching a Syracuse squad a lot of that incredulity vanishes.
Scott Marr, Albany — I agree with Zach's assessment of the job Desko and his staff did, and so does Brian Coughlin. I also was very close to giving the nod to Yale's Andy Shay who, in case this story isn't clear enough, I think has done a very good job in getting better as a coach, improving his staff and building a sustainable Bulldog program.
But I think Scott Marr did the best coaching job this year because he made at the very least a top five (if not the single-)most important personnel move last offseason by triggering Lyle Thompson's move from midfield to attack and managed to lead a team that (albeit, has a couple of talented players that any coach in the country would want on his roster) went 12-4 while playing at DI's fastest pace while saving and facing off at sub-50%. That's very tough to do. And on top of that, I must applaud Albany's year-over-year improvement; playing a tougher schedule with very similar offensive personnel, the Great Danes went from winning .313 to .750 in 2013. Really impressive job out of the Marr and his staff.
John Danowski, Duke — I guess I'll take the layup, John Danowski. I ran into both John and Matt Danowski at the Loyola-Maryland game on Feb. 23 in Baltimore, the day after the Devils were trounced by Penn 14-9 to drop to 2-3 on the season. Matt, the rookie assistant for Duke, seemed genuinely bummed out, and a little perplexed, by the rough start. John, however, didn't seem to mind. Pretty typical for a guy who has done an amazing job over the last five years of evolving teams during a season and never panicking. This year with his second title in four years, John Danowski cemented himself among the greatest lacrosse coaches. He may not do it the normal way, and he may be one of the toughest guys to get a hold of in lacrosse, but he is an amazing coach and he clearly did a phenomenal job taking Duke from a 2-3 start to a 16-5 finish.
Danowski-Desko Tossup — What strikes me in this argument is that there are some similarities between the two coaches who I would consider the favorites — I can see a strong case for John Desko at Syracuse and John Danowski at Duke. Both of these guys are more of the Zen Master, laid back type of guys. They each were fantastic this season in their personnel management and in their motivation of their teams. Desko and Danowski both had their share of challenges. Desko had to overcome the loss of some potential impact players, bringing a lot of newbies into the fold and still making that work, as Babo points out, while losing a lot of face-offs. Danowski turns a team that looked average early into the season into a force, managing a lot of guys that would be considered star players and getting some of them into different spots on the field.
Both coaches made their teams better by the end of the year. It's tough to pick against either of these coaches. If you look at what the Orange accomplished and how they were able to win games, probably better than any other team this year, it's really impressive and so much of that should be credited to the coaching staff. Bringing a team to the Final Four in seven straight seasons speaks to the quality of coach Danowski is. At the end of regulatuon on Memorial Day, it was Danowski who was the victor, and he was classy in that celebration. I could go back and forth between these guys all day. But to me, what these two coaching performances showed us this season was that the cooler, relaxed approach — I call Danowski's "golf course swagger" — can do wonders for a team as it is changing and finding itself throughout a season. For that, I think they are both worthy of this honor this season.
John Danowski, Duke — He's up for an ESPY, and he constantly surprises everyone with his coaching ability, even though at this point nothing should surprise us about him. He truly got the best out of his players when it mattered. He's unique and an innovator in this sport.
It's clearly a two-horse race, but there are many coaches who deserve some attention:
Shawn Nadelen, Towson: He's clearly gone through some growing pains by trying to do a radical change of culture with the Tigers. But this year — toward the end of the season — proved its working.
Mike Pressler, Bryant: Again, another team that looked like it was dead in the water early in the season. Quality coaching righted the ship and got this team into the NCAA Tournament. If he's not coach of the year, he's certainly got my vote for best coaching story of the year.
Chris Gabrielli, Providence: Another coach instituting change. The difference in this team compared with years past is striking.
For the women, I'm going with North Carolina's Jenny Levy, who was named the IWLCA Coach of the Year this week and was the Dani Award winner for Coach of the Year.

♀ Trista
What does Trista mean?
Trista [trista]▼ as a girls' name is pronounced TRISS-tah. It is of English origin. Feminine of Tristan and/or a rhyming variant of Christa. The spelling of Trysta suggests the English word "tryst", usually taken to mean a romantic appointment to meet. The source was the name of a tragic male lover of Celtic legend. A young knight sent to retrieve Isolde, his king's betrothed, from Ireland, they fall in love but the romance ended in grief. This ancient name might derive from a Pictish original, Drostan, but the form was influenced by the French term "triste", meaning "sad". Tristan is used more for boys than for girls; Tristan variants serve as alternatives to names like Kristen and Christine. A woman named Trista Rehn appeared in the 2002 reality show "The Bachelorette".

Java 6 HttpURLConnection SPNEGO support
Jan 26, 2012 5:36 AM
I am trying to access a protected resource from a server that is setup for SPNEGO authentication.
On the client side I am logged on to the same domain and did all the required setup (at least I think so)
for getting the identity and tickets from the Windows cache.
When I access the resource from Internet Explorer everything works fine but when I try to access it
from Java 6 HttpURLConnection I still get HTTP 401 error although Java 6 HttpURLConnection should support SPNEGO.
If I attach by myself the "Negotiate..." header with the token that I build by myself I get the resource and HTTP 200
although I receive also a Negotiate header with a token of type 96 that I cannot pass it to initSecContext as stated
in SPNEGO RFC that I should do.
I have two questions:
1. What should I do in order to use the built in SPNEGO support in Java 6 for HttpURLConnection when working
with tickets from Windows cache ?
2. What could be the reason that I receive on the last authentication leg on HTTP 200 a token that is not of type
context but application (value = 96) and cannot be used for fininshing the security context establishment ?
I have the same question

Any idea when we'll see a method for getting the ID from the username? I've already got two scripts based on this ready to go, but it pains me to see users forced to look up the UIDs
Hurm-- I'd love to help out with ideas, especially since this is going to be referred to several times in my SOAP chapters for the book on web services I'm writing
I would start with a fairly basic approach that lends itself easily to adding onto later. There is no need for user-add or user-delete functions at the SOAP level, I think we can all agree that those are better left someplace !SOAP. Basic information retrieval by UID, discerning UID from a given username, and some degree of user-info updating for users that have adequate credentials on the UA, these would be a good start. Even the latter, user-update, is less important at this stage than information-retrieval.

Is Kirsten Dunst Done With the Big Screen?
Kirsten Dunst, everyone's favorite Interview With the Vampire dimpled child star and Spiderman heroine, has recently kept her distance from the silver screen.
Where has the former A-list actress has been hiding? Why is someone who's had such a long-running career hiding in the first place?
Kirsten Dunst is only popping up on the gossip circuit when she's acting as a rebound hook-up, entering rehab for a number of suspected reasons, topping worst dressed lists, or showing up on set with a questionable shiner.
Will Kirsten Dunst ever again be that knew and loved A-list starlet?
Keep an eye out for her 2009 film, All Good Things, co-starring Ryan Gosling and Jeffrey Dean Morgan. Maybe Kiki can generate some buzz beyond a rumored fling.

Fat Transfer to Breasts - Seattle, WA
I am a 39 year old who breastfed 3 babies, and was looking quite deflated. (Small B cup, but my breasts looked like balloon 5 days after the party!) I also have chubby thighs and hips, and my stomach has a pooch that doesn't ever go away, even with exercise, so losing some fat while getting larger breasts seemed like the ideal way to go! I didn't really want implants, though I went to three... READ MORE

From an above comment (I had to go find it because I forgot myself!) : My dr. told me she added 280 CC to one breast and 310 CC to the other - don't remember which is which. I would have gone with 300cc implants if I went that route,... READ COMMENT

Snow, cold add to misery in areas hit by tornadoes
HENRYVILLE, Ind. (AP) – A spokeswoman for Indiana's homeland security agency says snow that fell overnight on southern Indiana is creating new hazards for residents cleaning up after Friday's deadly tornadoes.
State homeland security spokeswoman Emily Norcross says the 2- to 4-inch snowfall has added to the potential hazards in the devastated town of Henryville by covering storm debris such as nails.
She says the roads and ground are slippery as residents resume searching their ruined homes for valuables and cleaning up storm debris.
Norcross says Henryville residents are being allowed into their home-sites between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m., with the exception of two city streets where crews are still working to check for gas leaks.
Thirteen Indiana residents died in Friday's tornadoes, which killed 39 people in five states.
Snow is also adding to the misery of storm victims cleaning up in West Liberty, Ky., where a tornado demolished the downtown and neighborhoods in the eastern Kentucky town.
Nearly a half-foot of snow fell overnight in West Liberty. Utility crews there are working to restore power and residents are making repairs to homes damaged from the tornado that ripped through town Friday evening.
Parts of the town were leveled by an EF-3 tornado packing winds up to 140 mph.
Utilities say more than 9,000 customers are without power statewide from Friday's storms. Nearly 9,000 more customers are without power due to the snowfall Monday.
In Laurel County, light snow didn't stick to the ground but had crews bundled up for the recovery work from a tornado that hit Friday.

Middle Class 5 Year Olds Speak Better Than Some Adults
Researchers from the University of Southern California have found that many middle class children start school with a better vocabulary than some parents from poorer families
The findings are based on a study of children in 42 families from ten months old.
Toddlers brought up in professional families hear an average of 2,153 words every hour compared with 1,251 words in working class families and 616 words in families on benefits, a study has found. Middle-class parents, it would seem, are talking to their children more than poorer families do.
Too many parents are putting children in front of the TV, according to educationalists, rather than reading and talking to them, forgetting that they, as parents, are responsible for their child's development and not the schools.
By the time they are 3, middle class children have a vocabulary of around 1,100 words - compared with 500 for children from less well-off families. Consequently, at five many well-off youngsters have a better vocabulary than parents from poor backgrounds. This gap leaves poorer children at a lifelong disadvantage.

Victor & Cissy Elinoff
For the last six years, we have been very involved in helping native Ghanaian, Mary Afari, build the Golda Meir Academy in Kitikpa. In September of 2011, 54 children were enrolled into the elementary program. As of September of 2012, enrollment is up to 73 children. The progress of Golda Meir has been remarkable, and our participation is very rewarding.
The school is well on its way to educating young minds in becoming productive Ghanaian citizens. However, there is still much work to be done to make improvements to the existing structure and enhance the quality of the school and the curriculum.
Please read more about the Golda Meir Academy below and the ways you can help Mary Afari enrich the lives of children attending the school.
Thank you for considering a gift to help us continue Mary's dream of building and maintaining the Golda Meir Academy.
Victor and Cissy
About Golda Meir Academy in Kitikpa, Ghana
Golda Meir Academy (GMA) was established by native Ghanaian, Mary Afari. She named the school after reading a biography about the fourth Prime Minister of Israel. Mary believes that Golda Meir served as a strong role model for girls, and wanted the name of her school to reflect her desire to empower girls to become leaders in their communities.
With the help of Victor and Cissy Elinoff of Binghamton, NY, the first five classrooms of Golda Meir Academy were constructed, and in September of 2011, 54 children were enrolled into the elementary program. As of September of 2013, enrollment is up to 83 children. The Ministry of Education has requested that Golda Meir educate both boys and girls from kindergarten through junior secondary levels. However, the senior secondary school will cater to girls only.
The Mission of Golda Meir Academy
At the elementary and junior levels, GMA seeks to promote a positive and challenging learning environment that encourages students to stay in school and continue the educational process. The faculty focuses on creating an atmosphere where higher learning is a major priority.
The goals of the future senior secondary school are to educate girls and encourage them to continue their education beyond secondary school. GMA will strive to raise young women to become responsible citizens of their communities by boosting their self-esteem and teaching them to become independent thinkers. GMA will prepare girls to develop careers in fields presently available only to men.
How Orphans' Heroes Has Helped Golda Meir Academy
Educational Sponsorship
As of September of 2013, twelve children have received full sponsorship to attend Golda Meir Academy.
Installation of a Water Pump
In September of 2012, Orphans' Heroes installed a water pump on the grounds of Golda Meir Academy. The pump is available to the 2,800 residents of the Kitikpa community. Access to clean water will drastically reduce the amount of typhoid disease, parasites, worms, E. coli, dysentery, cholera, and many other water-borne illnesses.
Purchase of Health Cards for Every Child at the School
Following the death of a young child from Golda Meir Academy, Orphans' Heroes registered all of the children at Golda Meir (and many siblings) for National Health Insurance (NHIS). Every year, children die of preventable and curable illnesses because families cannot afford to purchase National Health Insurance. NHIS gives a child access to treatment for one year at the government hospital in Hohoe, Ghana. Mary Afari also held a meeting for parents receiving the health cards and advised them on the importance of renewing the cards each year.
Fencing Around the School
In April of 2013, the fencing of the school grounds was completed. The fence was an important step in ensuring the safety of the children by keeping strangers off of school property, and preventing the younger children from wandering away of school grounds.
Outdoor Playground Equipment
Play is a necessary part of the children's day as it helps them to release excess energy and maintain focus in the classroom, and enables children to socialize. In May of 2013, Orphans' Heroes installed a swing set, merry-go-round, slide, and teeter-totter at GMA.
By May of 2013, every child at Golda Meir Academy was provided with one school uniform. In Ghana, a school uniform is a source of pride as it shows that a child is a member of an academic institution.
Teachers' Salaries
Funds for teachers' salaries were raised for the 2013 and 2014 academic year at GMA. As Golda Meir Academy seeks to create a business and to maintain operating costs of the school, we are pleased to have secured funds that will ensure teachers are paid through 2014.
About Mary Afari, Director of Golda Meir Academy
Mary is a seamstress by trade and specializes in handcrafting beautiful Batik fabrics. She teaches this trade to other women. If you spend just an hour in her shop, you will quickly realize that Mary's greatest passion is to educate and inspire girls in Ghana to become strong leaders. Mary has traveled throughout the Volta Region to lecture to girls about sex and health education –– a mentoring program she will one day incorporate into the curriculum at the Golda Meir Academy.
Current Needs for the Elementary School
Though the existing school is functional and many improvements have already been made, there are still upgrades to be made to the building to make the learning environment more comfortable and expand the programming. The list is in order of priority:
A Revenue Generating Business
Our primary goal is to help GMA become self-sustainable so that operating costs will be covered from year to year. Orphans' Heroes will focus on finding a solution to help GMA become financially stable and less reliant on donations.
$30 per desk
GMA has expanded by 29 children since its inception. More desks are needed to comfortably accommodate the students.
Electricity needs to be run to the school so that ceiling fans may be installed, and computers can be added to the curriculum. The estimate includes the cost of computers.
Tro Tro (School Bus)
Approximately $7,000 - $10,000
GMA would like a second-hand bus (or "tro tro" as called in Ghana) to bring children from areas further out where no local schools are available to children. The tro tro could also be used to transport locals and earn some money to help with operating expenses of the school.
How to Help
Please consider sponsoring a child's education. + MEET THE CHILDREN FROM GMA
General donations toward a self-sustainable business, desks, electricity, or the purchase of a tro tro may be made online, or by sending a check to Orphans' Heroes, P.O. Box 333, Bedford Hills, NY 10507.

Thus it is written
Jesus leads the way to life beyond the tomb, but it simply is, at times, too wonderful to believe. To think there is a world beyond this one in which those who die are resurrected to a new life in Christ. Yet such a conviction is at the heart of our faith.
I remember Neil Kennedy, a former church member, telling me about his near death experience. He told me about talking to God and the love he felt. He said that God wasn't finished with him on earth yet, and his ministry was not complete. So God sent him back to the little town of Itasca to complete his ministry. Neil believes in the life to come beyond the tomb. We also need to believe, and we need to be prepared. There is an often quoted remark that says, "There are two things that are certain in life death and paying taxes."
All the non-believing world can do with death is ridicule it, deny it, avoid talking about it. But not those, like Neil, who have seen the hands and feet of the risen Savior, and say, "Jesus is alive and because he lives so shall I live!"
