There's a lot of driveway between where you park on the shoulder of Rattlesnake Drive outside Ten Spoon Vineyard and the wine-tasting courtyard. Halfway there is the oasis, where Lavender Lori holds court. Both sides of the blacktop are lined with tightly trimmed globular green lavender bushes sprouting shaggy purple afros.
Bobbing in this ocean of lavender, people are cutting bunches, chattering as they go. Cut 10 bunches, get one free, is the deal on a normal day, but this day is special. Lavender limeade is flowing, and lavender muffins made by Iris, age 7, are available for sale. Iris shows me her lavender gnome.
A group of men and women of a certain age reach the oasis, enjoying the feeling at the center of 1,300 lavender bushes at the height of bloom, while the sound of harp strings plucked by Janie Taylor waft through the atmosphere alongside the distinctly minty, oily, earthy lavender smell that sizzles in the brain.
A very long skateboard approaches from the wine-tasting courtyard, negotiating the single blind curve in the otherwise arrow-straight driveway. Riding the skateboard is Lavender Lori.
"Seven hundred feet is a lot of blacktop," she says. "Gotta have my longboard."
Lavender Lori is small and cute, with long brown hair spilling out beneath her sun hat and falling upon her summer dress. Her eyes shine when she talks about lavender.
"Hello," she greets the newcomers, "are you here for wine tasting and a bunch of lavender? Great! That'll be $15 apiece. Would you like to cut first or drink first? If you get too drunk to cut we have bunches already made. Would you like to cut with scissors, knife or sickle?"
"Scissors will be fine, thank you."
Every Wednesday during the lavender harvest, Lavender Lori hosts these lavender and wine appreciation nights at Ten Spoon—the vineyard formerly known as Rattlesnake Creek. Ten Spoon proprietress Connie "Conz" Poten pours generous samples of organic Blind Curve Sauvignon Blanc, Range Rider blend (a table red), Cherry Dry and Moonlight Creek Cabernet. Her partner, Andy "Sponz" Sponseller is hard at work behind the scenes in the winery, fussing over the finer points of carbonic maceration. Conz and Sponz, along with their crew, are turning out some damn fine wine these days, here in the northern extreme of wine country. After a sip or two, I reconvene with Lavender Lori at the oasis, and sample her lavender limeade. Somewhat reminiscent of basil lemonade, or regular lemonade with a sprig of mint, lavender limeade quenches thirst with aromatic sweetness.
Lavender bunches hang from the awning at the oasis, where lavender wands—bunches of lavender interwoven with ribbons and cloth—are on display. Lavender Lori has few inhibitions when it comes to her favorite plant, which she first fell for at the Sequim Valley Lavender Festival, on Washington's Olympic Peninsula.
"I don't know what happened," she said, "I just got hit by a lightning bolt. I knew I had to be a lavender farmer. I didn't have money, didn't have land. But I wanted as many people as possible to feel what I felt when I was there. It was loopy. It was euphoria."
There are, it seems, plenty of reasons to love lavender.
"In Victorian times they used to fold lavender with linens, due to lavender's moth-repelling qualities. Long before that, during the black plague, Europeans would scatter lavender sprigs around their villages, because it's an antibiotic. Soldiers in the World Wars would wrap lavender in their wounds. It's also antifungal. You can sprinkle it on cat litter boxes to control the smell, and you can scatter it everywhere to make everything smell like lavender!"
Next to the awning, an apparatus of lab-glass demonstrates the distillation process by which lavender essential oil is extracted and purified. Lavender oil, she says, is good for burns, stings, bites, road rash and other ailments. Along with tea tree oil, it's the only essential oil that can be taken internally.
When cooking with lavender, she cautions, don't overdue it. Those purple flowers pack a lot of flavor, especially when they're fresh. Start small and test the dish before adding more.
To make lavender limeade, boil 2 cups water, remove from heat, toss in 1/8 cup dried lavender buds, and let steep overnight. The next day, strain the flowers and use this water to make limeade, or lemonade—I like to combine lemonade powder (the good stuff is available in bulk at the Good Food Store), ice and lavender-infused water in the blender and whiz away.
It's interesting that something so pungent works so well with sweet flavors, but it does.
"Have you tried my lavender-infused M&Ms?" she asked. "Ari where have you been?"
She dove into the bowels of the oasis and retrieved a tin of the bright candies swimming in those loopy purple buds. I grabbed a handful.
Since then I've sprinkled lavender on grilled meat, pasta and the contents of my underwear drawer, all with great results. Just remember when adding lavender to food that a little goes a long way. So unless you're as bonkers over lavender as Lori is, start small.
Ask Chef Boy Ari: Keeping it fresh
Q: Dear CBA,
My husband and I like to buy our family's vegetables for the week at the Saturday farmers' markets. It makes for a fabulous morning, with a perky drink and a muffin, but by week's end the fridge's contents are flaccid at best. Week-old salad? No thanks—I'd rather eat three-day-old homemade baby food.
How can we have our local food and eat it fresh, too?
—Wilted for the weekend
A: Dear Wilted,
Missoula has two midweek markets where the farmers will be very happy to see you. Tuesday's market, by the XXXXs at the north end of Higgins, starts at 5:45 p.m. (and not a moment before, or the market police will PUNISH whomever sells you the fruit of their toils before the bell) and lasts for 90 minutes (and not a moment more! When the bell rings a second time, selling produce becomes a crime). There, you can upgrade your flaccid vegetal units.
On Thursdays, the Clark Fork Market under the Higgins Avenue bridge gets rolling around 5 and lasts 'til 8, give or take—no stopwatches, tape measures or other anal accoutrements here. After market, you and your man can walk under the bridge to Caras Park, take in the music at Downtown ToNight and grab a bite to eat.
Unlike at Saturday markets, whose produce is more than likely harvested on Friday, midweek market produce is harvested that very day. Midweek markets are good for farmers, too, because like that proverbial cow, those plants need "milking" more than once a week. You never know: some farmers might be ready to make a deal on a quantity of something, and since this is the freshest food you can buy, it's the ideal time to acquire a stash for freezing and canning.

Mumbai: There are some in the glamour industry who wish to go topless just to gather some publicity and then there are others who are prepared to do so for a social cause. Talk of Rozlyn Khan and you know she falls in the latter category. The bold and beautiful actress recently went topless for a social cause.
Finding it difficult to place her eh? The ravishing beauty was in news off late for the whistle blower award she received at the 18th Lions Gold Award. Rozlyn was handed over the award by the pretty Divya Dutta. Wondering what was the award for? Well, here comes the interesting part. The actress played a vital role in exposing a drug syndicate on the last New Year eve in India's fashion capital, India.
The gladrags model shot the topless portfolio to spread awareness against breast cancer. Not only has this actress done this semi nude photo shoot but she also plans to shoot a video which will teach ladies to examine the symptoms of breast cancer themselves.
Rozlyn is planning to call a press conference soon to give a live demo of how to inspect the presence of breast cancer at home using her do-it-yourself procedure.
"I am planning to merge and campaign with NGOs that fight for breast cancer and help the affected women" says Rozlyn Khan.
Brave girl indeed! Lets wish her all the best for her future endeavors both on and off screen.

Maybe we're cross talking. The four new snps found from walk the y searches
are L158, L159, L160, L161
L158, L159, L160 are derived for the I2a1 donor; they are ancestral for the
I2a2-Isles-D donor
L161 is just the opposite --- derived for I2a2-Isles-D donor and ancestral
for the I2a1 donor.
M161 is an old snp found downstream of M26 and therefore a subhaplogroup
L161 is the new snp which really is the only one of interest to you. You
could go either way, depending on how far downstream or upstream on the I2a2
branch line leading to the Isles-D donor it occured. I agree: you are a
classic I2a2-Isles-A haplotype. Looking at the warpedfounderstree at
http://knordtvedt.home.bresnan.net I'd estimate your chances of being
derived for L161 as 3/4 and ancestral 1/4.

Landfill closed early during holiday
-after city was unable to bear operating costs
The early closure of the Haag Bosch landfill site during the holiday season was a result of the failure of the Mayor and City Council (M&CC) to bear the additional operations cost, according to Junior Local Government Minister Norman Whittaker.
Whittaker made this disclosure yesterday at a press conference, days after the Mayor of Georgetown Hamilton Green blamed the landfill site's limited opening hours for restricting garbage collection during the holiday season.
Green had said, "We are extremely disappointed that when we tried to triple the cycle of collection on Christmas and Christmas Eve, we discovered that the Haag Bosch site was closed at 1 pm, which prevented us from increasing the cycle of collection."
He had also stated that the M&CC asked for the site to be opened 24-hours to facilitate the increased garbage collection but this was not done.
However, Whittaker claimed that prior to the holiday season, a meeting with the city's garbage contractors, such as Cevon's Waste Management, Puran Brothers, BK International and members of the Georgetown municipality, was held to discuss the extended opening of the landfill site.
It was then that the council claimed that they do not have the money to fund such an initiative, which was the reason why Haag Bosch was closed at 1pm during the Christmas holidays.
The minister also suggested that there needs to be a better relationship between the mayor and his administration.
However, Green is claiming that he was never informed of the meeting being held when it is protocol for him to be informed, since he is the Mayor.
He also accused the ministry of micro-managing the operations of the municipality, while calling it improper for it to inform other members of the municipality and not inform him.
When asked about the municipality not having money to facilitate the extended opening of Haag Bosch as stated by the minster, Green replied, "The government ought to find the extra money for the facility knowing the financial position of the council when they have all the money. The minister should have contacted me when the officers indicated that there was no money."
'Criminal charges'
Meanwhile, in wake of the sacking of five Georgetown municipality officials on December 31, 2012, including the substantive Town Clerk, Treasurer and Engineer, Local Government Minister Ganga Persaud said the report done by the Audit Office into mismanagement at City Hall has been turned over to the police.
"The Auditor General report is with the police…we are hoping that in the near future we will be able to give a response regarding the persons and whether criminal charges will be taken," Persaud added.
Town Clerk Yonette Pluck-Cort, City Engineer Gregory Erskine, acting City Treasurer Andrew Meredith, the Director of the Solid Waste Management Unit Hubert Urlin and Accounts Clerk Troy Isaacs were dismissed by the Minister, based on the findings of the Audit Office, which conducted the probe at his behest.
In the December 28, 2012 letter to Meredith, advising of the decision to terminate his services, Whittaker said the probe found evidence that revealed "several acts of transgressions of policies, rules and regulations; negligence in the execution of your duties as City Treasurer ag. and consequential significant demeaning of the integrity of the Office of City Treasurer…."
He said Meredith abused his authority and tarnished the image of the municipality, while adding that his "failure to achieve a reasonable standard of efficiency, progress and leadership" in the performance of his duties also contributed to a poor supervision of council staff and their inefficient performance.
With the sacking of the officers, Public Relation Officer of the M&CC, Royston King, stated that the council has appointed persons to act in those capacities until the vacancies are filled. Presently, Carol Sooba is now acting Town Clerk, Lloyd Alleyne is the acting City Engineer; and Ron McCalmon is the acting City Treasurer. King said that the council will be advertising for those positions soon.
Although Minister Persaud said that in the next week the ministry will be advertising for the positions as they await the required information for the vacancies, Deputy Mayor Patricia Chase-Green, when contacted, said that for the number of years that she was with the council, it was the municipality's responsibility to do so and not the ministry.

What on earth is a 6% ask now psychic reviews reading? Is it a very good matter… or lousy? And what about one other 94%? Where by did it go, and how come I want to avoid it?
STUMPED? I realize that the majority of of you almost certainly are… and have definitely No idea what we're talking about..:-) Although the straightforward truth of the matter is, in regards to on-line psychic readings, should you are certainly not inside the major 6%, it's possible you'll be obtaining a rip off studying In lieu of one which is admittedly fantastic.
Let me clarify…
Psychic Resource, is amongst the hottest phone networks on the earth. It can be also certainly one of the oldest, with around twenty years of steady clairvoyant readings underneath their belt. They offer a various set of psychics too, with properly about one hundred readers obtainable for a myriad of distinct psychic needs, together with mediumistic readings, love and tarot, general clairvoyant, strength and karmic sessions, and even more.
Although the Serious benefit of getting a studying from this distinct service is definitely the 6% rule. This means, rather merely…..you are obtaining, by default, a reading through using an intuitive who's got scored from the Major 6% of psychic applicants who analyzed for the career.
How can you already know obviously? Due to the fact among the distinctive factors of psychic resource is the fact they ONLY employ 6 away from each one hundred intuitives who implement to present readings on the community, and don't seek the services of, ninety four (or thereabouts) of each a hundred in addition.
How can that translate into Big added benefits to those of us who contact?
Quite just, it is addition by subtraction. By simply making sure that they are ONLY bringing to the fold top quality, analyzed and elite level clairvoyants, the chance of you obtaining a Poor examining are considerably diminished.
And when you take into account that your reading is totally confirmed for being excellent otherwise you never really have to pay back, coupled with cheap demo readings for very first time callers and consumers, you have received a recipe for the extraordinary reading which you Will not forget…..or immediately regret. (and if you might be everything like me…..you could possibly find yourself getting to be a hardcore psychic junkie likewise!)

The Fine Art of Recycling
When my son began toting home his first finger paintings from preschool, every piece brought tears to my eyes and was clearly destined for framed display. Some actually did make it up on the walls, thanks to blue painter's tape. Yet alas, for all my good intentions, most of the paper ended up stacked in a cabinet, stored away for future curating.
But one day the five-year pileup became too much for even this pack rat. After I'd sent my now-7-year-old off to school, I spent hours creating two piles. There were the treasures that tugged at my heartstrings, featured fabulous splashes of my favorite blues and greens, or captured a special moment in time when my boy still had a headful of glorious curls. And then there was the much larger collection splayed across my living room rug, featuring 19 of 20 nearly identical versions of rainbows. Let's face it, we're not talking Monet here. Determined to recycle as much as I could, I methodically removed buttons and other crafty glue-ons. (While it now occurs to me that I might have saved these bits for future projects, I confess that I'm not quite that green.) I managed to finish up just in time to chuck the castaways in my building's recycling bin before the kid arrived home.
I know I'm not alone in this paper chase. I've chatted with other parents and read numerous threads on online message boards as moms adrift in a sea of artwork struggle with how to display or store the precious pieces they can't stand to edit out of their collections. So I wasn't surprised when The New York Times recently tackled the topic. What I did find shocking was the featured mothers' mode of disposal. The first mom profiled, who works at an academic research center -- shouldn't she know better? -- said she's "always on the lookout" for her 4-year-old daughter's "exceptional" drawings. But the latest batch would, in her words, "soon be archived in the rubbish bin." The rubbish bin? Why not the recycling bin? I read on.
The second mom, an artist herself, boasted that she's "getting better about not recycling." Apparently, doing so would leave the art out where her 5-year-old daughter might find and retrieve it. These days, she said, "it goes in the garbage." Egads, woman! Where are your subterfuge skills? The author of the piece divides the moms into two camps, the "keepers" and the "chuckers." The former are those who lovingly frame every stick-figure rendition for grandmother while the latter, the writer seems to insinuate, are somehow crasser for turning Bobby's 50th train drawing into wrapping paper.
To my mind, using art as wrapping paper is a genius way of reusing. And just imagine how doubly pleased grandma would be to receive a piece of art wrapped in another piece of art! Just when I was verging on apoplectic, I finally read about an arts educator so ruthless that back when her daughters were churning out the work, she wouldn't even let it reach the car. "I was the mom who opened her child's school folder at school, walked to the office and recycled 9 out of every 10 pieces," she said. While tough mom's approach seems a bit cold-hearted for this mushy fool, I salute her environmental efforts. If this generation of mothers feels especially buried before their kids hit kindergarten, we're not imagining things. According to David Burton, a professor of art education quoted in the piece, kids as young as 18 months are scribbling away with ergonomic crayons. Years ago, he says, even art educators "believed that children would just waste materials when they were really toddlers." But now, he adds, we know of the importance of art in early child development. For instance, drawing helps build cognitive and fine motor skills. When it comes to keeping our kids' artwork, it boils down to sentimentality and space. All I ask is that you recycle, people. As long as your little darlings are using nontoxic paint and crayons -- and let's hope they are -- you're good to go.
How much of your kids' art do you keep? How do you dispose of the rest?

Bad form to answer ones own posts.....
I found the answer in the (patched) mini_httpd source. Everything after the
domain name gets shoved into a variable and replace with index.php
This means that the contents of the $_GET array are effectively junk.
However, as the stuff gets shoved into an environment variable I can drag it
out of there.

Tennessee lawmakers are debating legislation that calls for posting online the names of doctors who perform abortions and that could also identify their patients, The Tennessean says.
The measure, HB 3808 ("The Life Defense Act of 2012"), is to be taken up Wednesday by the House Health and Human Resources Committee, says its sponsor, Republican Rep. Matthew Hill of Jonesborough. The bill cleared a subcommittee March 6 on an 8-5 vote along party lines.
"The Department of Health already collects all of the data, but they don't publish it," Hill told our Gannett colleague in Nashville. "All we're asking is that the data they already collect be made public."
Opponents, however, say the bill is designed to intimidate doctors and their patients seeking abortions, even in emergency situations.
"I think publicizing this information will do nothing but cause serious consequences," said state Rep. Gary Odom, D-Nashville. "This is dangerous. This is a dangerous piece of legislation."
Hill said he plans to address opponents' concerns, without being specific.
The Tennessee Supreme Court ruled in 2000 that the state constitution protects abortion.
This Week rounds up some opinions about the question, "Is it reckless to publicize the names of doctors who perform abortions?"
Bills to restrict abortion have emerged in several states. Elsewhere in the nation:
• In Georgia, a bill to cut by six weeks the time women would have for an elective abortion passed a Senate committee Monday, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
The measure is being referred to as the "fetal pain bill." Proponents say a fetus can feel pain at 20 weeks and the state should therefore protect it. Any abortion after 20 weeks would require that the fetus be removed alive.
Opponents have lobbied hard to change or defeat House Bill 954.
• In Idaho, the Republican-dominated Senate on Monday passed legislation that would require an ultrasound before any abortion, the Twin Falls Times-News reports. The bill moves to the Republican-majority House, where passage is all but certain.
Similar measures have passed in Texas and Virginia.
During floor debate, a Republican senator suggested that for women seeking an abortion because of rape, a doctor should ask her if the pregnancy could have been "caused by normal relations in a marriage," the Associated Press reported.

text: A federal [judge today refused](http://www.naplesnews.com/news/2012/jun/27/judge-refuses-block-florida-v...) the Department of Justice's attempt to block a Florida voter purging initiative that has already proved to strip hundreds of eligible citizens of their right to vote. Last month, the [Justice Department sued the state of Florida](http://www.thenation.com/blog/168285/bizarre-and-confusing-standoff-betw...) to stop a voter purge program which aims to systematically takes "non-citizens" off of voter rolls weeks before the August 14 federal primary election. Using a highly dubious methodology, the state appeared to find 2,600 people they suspected were not citizens, but might potentially vote. [The grand majority of the people on that list were people of color and Democrats,](http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/06/civil_rights_groups_sue_florida_o...) while over half were Latino-Americans. DOJ claimed that Florida's program runs afoul of the National Voter Registration Act, which says voters can't be removed in a massive program within 90 days of a federal election -- a law put in place mostly in response to Florida's history of removing eligible voters in massive programs right before elections. Judge Hinkle did not see it that way, though and has allowed Florida's program to continue. His ruling states that federal laws say nothing about removing ineligible voters within 90 days of an election, even though the purge program has already produced hundreds of names of people who are eligible to vote. "We're disappointed with the judge's decision," said Advancement Project Co-Director Penda Hair, [whom Colorlines just interviewed last week](http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/06/civil_rights_groups_sue_florida_o...) about a lawsuit they also filed against Florida over the voter purge program. "This threatens the voting rights of thousands of U.S. citizens. The right to vote is the fundamental pillar of our democracy and targeting a particular group of voters is simply wrong." "Florida is is imposing a two-tiered system of voting, one for citizens who were born here and one for those who have been naturalized, with thousands of U.S.-born citizens being unfairly caught up in this anti-democratic purge," said Advancement Project Co-Director Judith Browne-Dianis. "Voting illegally already carries with it a threat of substantial fines, jail sentences, and--in the case of non-citizens--deportation. What Florida is actually doing is trying to disenfranchise American citizen for partisan gain. It is against the basic values of fairness and American democracy, which is why we have filed suit to stop it." Speaking with Advancement Project's director of voter protection, Katherine Culliton-Gonzalez, she said this ruling against DOJ should not affect their lawsuit, which was filed in a different court, and has a different focus. While DOJ's case targets National Voter Registration Act violations, for starting voter list maintenance within the 90-day "quiet period," Advancement's case focuses on the discriminatory impact of the purge program, as a violation of the Voting Rights Act. Of 562 people in Miami-Dade county who were accused by the state of being non-citizens, 98% are U.S. citizens, said Culliton-Gonzalez. Two of their clients, a Nicaraguan American and a Haitian American, are naturalized citizens whose voting rights have been infringed upon by Florida's voter purge program, according to the lawsuit. "We don't agree with today's ruling because it seems to be about purging people -- not people who are ineligible to vote, but thousands of people who are elgible, many people who are naturalized citizens, and the great majority of whom are people of color," said Culliton-Gonzalez. [There are also other lawsuits pending against Florida over the purge program. ](http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/06/floridas_immigrant_voter_purge_dr...) This is the same judge, Robert Hinkle, who just [blocked Florida's onerous voter registration laws](http://colorlines.com/archives/2012/06/federal_judge_overturns_draconian...), because they made it harder for citizens to vote. Florida Secretary of State Ken Detzner had this to say: > "We are pleased with today's decision because it is further confirmation that we are doing the right thing and following the law. The court agreed that identifying ineligible voters who have never had a right to vote will help prevent the votes of eligible citizens from being neutralized." > Florida Gov. Rick Scott said, "The court made a common-sense decision consistent with what I've been saying all along: that irreparable harm will result if non-citizens are allowed to vote. ... We know from just a small sample that an alarming number of non-citizens are on the voter rolls and many of them have illegally voted in past elections." There are not "alarming" numbers of non-citizens on voter rolls, and both Gov. Scott and Sec. Detzner have admitted their program is flawed. The purge program is, in fact, suspended not because of the lawsuits, but because the state's own county election supervisors have refused to comply due to alarming numbers of inaccuracies. ***[This post has been updated: A correction was made to incorrect statement that the Department of Justice's lawsuit centered on the Voting Rights Act; also, additional content was added after an interview with Advancement Project director of voter protection Katherine Culliton-Gonzalez]***

Date of birth: 08/02/09
Gender: Male
Galan is a powerful galgo cross (mostly galgo) that needs patience and an experienced home. He had to be darted to be caught and had a chain embedded so deep into his neck that we don't know if it was an attempted hanging that went wrong. His skin had started to grow over the chain and he was in horrible pain. He would have eventually died from infection had we not caught him. He's a little bit unpredictable if he feels threatened so an experienced home is what he wants and needs. Galan clearly had a terrible life before his rescue so we hope that he will catch the interest of someone that can change his life for the better. He loves walking on a lead and can be re-homed nicely with a strong female. We don't see Galan doing well with other males but is currently kenneled with NanaBanana whom he loves and takes care of. He's a sweet gentleman of a galgo that is now really confident with people.

Michel has said that his contract, which expires at the end of the World Cup, has not been renewed.
His departure - if indeed he does leave - would not be a surprise, and neither will it disappoint many Ivorians.
The Elephants have lost their first two games in Germany, but the reasons for Michel's unpopularity go much deeper.
Ivorians are convinced they should have done better in their maiden World Cup given the talent at Michel's disposal.
Some of them - like Didier Drogba, Emmanuel Eboue and Kolo Toure - turn out regularly for big European teams.
African and European media have been calling the Elephants 'the best African team' or 'the African team on the rise' for almost two years.
On paper, Michel's achievements are considerable after taking the Ivory Coast to their first World Cup, and to the final of the 2006 African Nations Cup.
But the amount of talent Michel had at his disposal convinced many Ivorians that the Frenchman had only done the bare minimum.
When Ivory Coast lost a key qualifying game against Cameroon, hundreds of angry supporters took to the streets to demand that Michel be sacked.
The Frenchman was accused of poor tactical options, and surprising personnel choices.
If the team had not subsequently qualified for Germany and reached the final of the Nations Cup, there is no doubt Michel would have been out the door earlier.
A section of the Ivorian population is actively hostile to the former colonial power France, which certainly has contributed to the level of vitriol flying Michel's way.
The Frenchman appears to be fed up with the criticism and the hostility, but an objective reading of his reign suggests the fans are not completely out of line.
The Ivorian Football Federation will almost certainly have to pick a successor, but there is no immediate rush.
The Ivory Coast's next game is not until September, and the Elephants' 2008 World Cup qualification group of Gabon, Madagascar and Djibouti is not particularly tough.
There should be many decent coaches intrigued by the prospect of managing a young and talented national team that can be a force up to and including the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
As he moves on to his next coaching job, Michel may just be wondering whether he could not have made more of his opportunity.

Acoustic profilers can be used to overcome the temporal problems associated with suction samplers and at the same time are less intrusive in the flow. The profiler transmits a sound pulse through the water column. The sound beam is reflected by particles in the water, and the strength of the return signal is a function of the concentration of sediment in the water. A large number of profiles must be gathered and ensemble averaged to obtain a mean concentration profile. This provides an efficient way to measure suspended load very quickly and non intrusively.

SPORTS >> Jacksonville takes an official beating
By RAY BENTON
Special to The Leader
Jacksonville set the scene for an upset Friday night, but it wasnt to be.
The Red Devils used two big fourth-down conversions to reach the Little Rock Parkview 5, but fell short as the Patriots won 26-21 in a 6A-East game at Jan Crow Stadium.
With 20 seconds to cover the 5 yards, the Red Devils instead allowed a 15-yard loss on a sack of quarterback Logan Perry.
Quick up the line and no timeouts left, Jacksonville snapped the ball with 6 seconds to go and Perry dropped back to throw, but the pass floated long and out of the back of the end zone as Little Rock Parkview prevailed.
The Red Devils final drive was one that Jacksonville coach Mark Whatley felt his team should not have needed after Parkview scored with 7:07 left in the game.
That drive was helped greatly when an incomplete pass seemed to set up fourth and 17 from the Patriot 9. The defender and receiver each fell down on the play.
Jacksonville sophomore DVone McClure had inside position on the deep pass near midfield. A good 5 seconds after the ball fell incomplete, Jacksonville was flagged for pass interference.
The penalty was a 15-yarder and an automatic first down. Three plays later, Parkview backup quarterback Chris Winston ran 37 yards to the 23.
Five plays after that, junior running back Christopher McClendon scored from 10 yards out to set the final margin.
The Red Devils were sensing victory before the controversial call.
I thought it was going to happen when we had third and 18 down here inside the 10-yard line and we got a pass interference call, Whatley said. That was quite a big swing.
Jacksonville started the game without a starting running back and a center. Senior Caleb Mitchell, who has started on the line all season and moved to center, also left the game in the fourth quarter with an injury.
Parkview tried to capitalize during Jacksonvilles final drive by blitzing up the middle, and it paid off on first and goal.
We lost Mitchell and had to play a 10th grade center, Whatley said. First time hes been in a war like that. Its tough on him.
He went in there and did the best he could. They just started bringing heat up the pipe.
Jacksonville (1-7, 1-4) had just taken its first lead of the game before pass interference call on a nine-play, 68-yard drive.
McClure had two big plays on the drive for 28 yards, and Perry kept for a 34-yard gain to help set up John Johnsons 2-yard touchdown run.
The extra point made it 21-20 with 11:13 remaining in the game.
Parkview (5-2, 3-2) opened the game with a 72-yard scoring drive, with 70 of it coming in two plays. The first was a 21-yard pass and catch from quarterback Benjamin Anderson to McClendon.
The last was a 49-yard scoring pass to Christopher Giles that made it 6-0 with 10:44 left in the first quarter.
The teams then traded10 straight fruitless possessions before Jacksonville got on the scoreboard with 6:18 left in the half. The Red Devils marched 54 yards in eight plays, including a 7-yard pass from Perry to Tyler Crook on fourth and 7 to keep the drive alive.
Johnson capped the drive with a 21-yard run up the middle. He was sprung by solid downfield blocking by junior lineman Rhakeem James, who was still holding his block all the way to the goal line.
It took Parkview just 1:19 to answer.
Anderson hit McClendon for 48 yards, then Giles for 12 to get the Patriots to the 2, where the quarterback kept for the score with 4:59 left in the half. A fake extra point attempt resulted in a successful two-point conversion that made it 14-6.

CD Review: The Besnard Lakes, Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse
Listen to The Besnard Lakes' "Disaster," and I guarantee you, the first musical reference that comes to mind will be the Beach Boys. All of the elements are there: the languid falsetto, lightly woven harmonies, and muted brass and sleepy surf strings. But then you realize: The Besnard Lakes actually sound nothing like the Beach Boys.
In fact, the latest band to break out of Montreal has a quite novel sound, at once chilly, grandiose, and catchy. Better yet, the more I listen to the group's just-released second album, Besnard Lakes Are the Dark Horse (Jagjaguwar), the more complex it becomes, so
In a way that's somewhat similar to the Texas instrumental group Explosions in the Sky, the Besnard Lakes excel at using orchestral instrumentation (violins, glockenspiel, you name it). But rather than achieve a symphonic effect, the band touches on all manner of accessible pop melodies.
The Besnard Lakes don't just draw on the Beach Boys in "Disaster" but also get inspiration from Zombies-style Brit-pop on jaunts like "Cedric's War," which you can listen to below. On the tracks where the haunting vocals of Olga Goreas take the lead — including "For Agent 13" and "Because Tonight" — the vibe leans more toward the sweeping, Cocteau Twins-style drama. What's remarkable is how perfectly the songs play off one another, creating an effect that's both dark and hopeful at the same time. Listen to the song below and let me know what you think.

David Baggins, professor of political science at Cal State East Bay
CSUEB political science prof discusses 'California's Split Personality', Oct. 16
- October 15, 2013 5:48am
Incessant budget crises and bouts of partisan gridlock have led to demands for reform in the Golden State, even for a constitutional convention to set things right. David Baggins, professor of political science at Cal State East Bay, will lead a discussion on "California's split personality" on Wednesday, Oct. 16 at 5pm on the CSUEB Concord campus.
What exactly is wrong with California and is the state "repairable?" Baggins will use Joe Mathews' and Mark Paul's 2010 book California Crackup as the center of a fast-paced discussion of the state's current political and economic woes. Baggins' goal is to help the audience discover the constitutional origins of current state dilemmas. He's also betting that any 'fixes,' constitutional or otherwise, that state leaders come up with will have a unique California flavor.
This event is provided as part of the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute (OLLI) program and will take place at the CSUEB Concord campus located at 4700 Ygnacio Valley Road, Concord. This presentation will be free OLLI members and $5 for non-members. Visit the OLLI Web site to register for the lecture.

This wine has aromas of blackberry, cassis, cherry, and toasted nuts.
It's round, very balanced, and rolls around on the tongue; loaded with flavor, complex and lively, it has a soft finish where the flavors reverberate.
When you follow your passion, you pour yourself into it wholeheartedly. Work ceases being work. It becomes something you enjoy, something that feels more like, well, play.
For Craig, there's nothing he'd rather be doing than walking through vineyards, crumbling clumps of soil in his hands, smelling the air, understanding a particular harvest, and coaxing from it a nectar that's wonderfully delicious. Katie and Joel share with Craig a passion for wine, but their first love is the world of graphic design. They were drawn to it at an early age and have immersed themselves in it ever since. At their firm, Hatch Design, they craft brand identities, packaging, and communications that not only further their clients' goals, but make the world a little more beautiful a place for all of us.
And so JAQK Cellars was born. Not so much a business as a blank canvas. Not so much an enterprise for three colleagues as a way for three creative souls to indulge their passions. A way for them to slave away doing what they love till their hearts' content.

I was really hoping this would help with my dark under eye circles, but even when being mixed with concealer, it's really not showing any improvement. Probably not buying this again in the future, however I do adore a majority of other ELF products.

Packaging: professional, chic and very small (you can even fit it in your pocket). If it would be bigger, it would be even better. Price: for this good of a product, the price is very very cheap. Product: works for all skin tones of course, does not crease and makes your concealer/foundation stay in place for at least a couple of hours (haven't tried for a whole day yet). A small brush comes with the powder, it's alright and I have no problem using it; however I prefer using this powder with a sponge (Real Techniques miracle complexion sponge (especially its pointy tip)).
Good one

It is a tiny pot of powder for setting undereye concealer and it works great. Though I thought the shimmer in it is a little bit obvious and big. But overall it is good with such a low price.

About Tricia from Once a Month Mom: I have recently become a SAHM just this past winter when I had my first son. I am now pregnant with my second and due in December of 2009. I am an avid one a month cook (also referred to as OAMC, bulk cooking, power cooking and freezer cooking) who loves having food in the freezer for easy meals. I have taken this love into the baby realm and started preparing once a month baby food menus as well. I love the Lord and am so blessed to be able to stay home with my little one, to be learning how to save money, trying to make the most out of life, and doing the "chores" once a month so I can enjoy more time with my family!
I've kicked around the idea of bulk cooking since I picked up a copy of Frozen Assets: Cook for a day, eat for a month from the library last year. I love the concept. What could be better than spending one day to stock your freezer full of healthy, economical meals so that you don't have to spend every week night cooking when you'd rather be spending it playing Beatles Rock Band or helping your kids with AP Trig (yeah, not my strong suit either)? While I really loved the idea of OAMC (Once a Month Cooking), I didn't really connect with the actual recipes contained in Frozen Assets. I have to admit though; there is a LOT of inertia to overcome to pull one of these bulk cooking days together.
So, during one of my "ok, I'm totally going to do it this month" moments a few months ago, I did a Swagbucks Search for OAMC recipes and found Once a Month Mom. If you're trying to get started with OAM Cooking, this is definitely the website you want to read! Not only does Tricia post recipes for OAMC, but she also posts menus for the month AND the grocery shopping lists. There is even an entire section devoted to OAMC for baby food.
The recipes I've tried are pretty easy to modify for non-standard dietary needs. Since Mark and I are doing Weight
Watchers, I have to modify every recipe we use anyway. The recipes shared by Once A Month Mom are fabulous without modification if you don't have special considerations. *side note* If you want to use your own recipes, make sure you make the appropriate adjustments to the shopping list!
Once a Month Mom is not the only resource I used for my recent foray into OAMC, but it was a huge help getting me over the hump and actually DOING a big cooking day. Now that I've given it a try, I know I'll be doing it again. OH… and if you don't try anything else from Once a Month Mom, DEFINITELY try the Chicken Parm!

July in the West
The North American Monsoon was very active this month, bringing much needed precipitation to the Southwest. As is typical for July, dry conditions dominated in the Pacific Northwest. The Great Basin and Intermountain West saw record high July temperatures, while temperatures in coastal regions were moderated by persistent marine stratus and temperatures in the Southwest curbed by frequent thunderstorms.
Persistent ridging produced record monthly temperatures in the northern Great Basin. In Nevada, Reno and Elko logged their warmest month in their 126-year records, at 80.2 F (26.8 C) and 76.8 F (24.9 C), respectively. In Utah, Salt Lake City averaged 84.1 F (28.9 C), its warmest month in a 140-year record. Boise, Idaho saw its 3rd warmest July in a 136-year record, with 30 days reaching 90 F (32.2 C), tying 2007 for the most such days in July there. In Oregon, Medford saw its hottest month in an 86-year record, averaging 78.9 F (26.1 C), surpassing the previous record of July 2009 by 1.0 F (0.6 C). In Washington, Yakima recorded its hottest month on record as well, at an average 77.5 F (25.3 C), exceeding the July 1998 record by 1.4 F (0.8 C). In the Southwest, Tucson, Arizona ended a 39-day streak (June 1-July 10) of temperature reaching 100 F (37.8 C), the longest such streak in a 119-year record. Monsoon clouds lowered temperatures from the warmest Tucson June on record to the 19th warmest July.
Monsoon precipitation brought spotty and minor drought relief to Arizona and New Mexico, with many locations recording above normal precipitation. After consecutive below normal monsoon seasons, the Albuquerque, New Mexico airport recorded 2.77 in (70 mm) this month, the 9th wettest July in a 117-year record. This rainfall came in deluges, with nearly half (1.36 in/35mm) on the 26th, resulting in some flooding. In Arizona, Flagstaff tied 1919 for the wettest July on record at 7.58 in (193 mm). Phoenix, Yuma, and Tucson all saw an excellent start to the monsoon season as well, receiving above normal precipitation for the month. Cedar City, Utah logged 5.25 in (133 mm) of monsoon rain, 625% of normal and easily surpassing the previous July record of 4.37 in (111 mm) set in 1975. Los Angeles, California typically receives no precipitation in July, so that a mere 0.09 in (2.3 mm) led to the 3rd wettest July in a 108-year record.
In contrast, the Northwest experienced its typical dry July weather. Seattle, Washington received a trace of precipitation this month, tying 1958 and 1960 for driest July. Normal there is 0.7 in (18 mm). Quillayute, Washington averages 1.98 in (50 mm) for July, but saw only 0.01 in (0.25 mm) on the last day of the month, beating out 2010 (0.35 in/9 mm) for driest July in its 48-year record. Locations throughout Northern California, such as San Francisco and Sacramento stayed dry this month. July 6 brought the first rainfall to Las Vegas since April 16. This 80-day dry stretch is the 4th longest on record.
Quiescent conditions prevailed in Hawaii for most of July until the remnants of Tropical Storm Flossie brought high winds and locally heavy precipitation near the close of the month. Storm totals were highest around Maui County, helping stations in that area surpass their July normals. Kahului recorded 0.86 in (22 mm) for the month, 238% of normal. Of this, 0.79 in (20 mm) fell on the 29th associated with Flossie. Further north, warm temperatures continued in Alaska this month. Anchorage set a record of 14 consecutive days above 70 F (21.1 C) July 17th-30th. This beats the previous record of 13 days set in August of 2004 and helped to make this the 4th warmest July on record in Anchorage. On July 31, Fairbanks tied its all-time record for number of 80 F or greater (26.7 C) days in a summer at 30 days. So far, this is the second warmest summer on record at Fairbanks behind the summer of 2004.
Significant Events for July 2013
July (all month): Wildfires in the West: Though many large fires burned throughout the West this month, year-to-date the nationwide number of fires is 58% of the 10-year normal and acres burned is 55% of the 10-year normal. Some of the fires include: Douglas Complex Fire, Southwest Oregon: This group of fires ignited by lightning on the 26th had burned approximately 28,000 acres (11,300 hectares) and was 9% contained at month's end. Smoke from these fires has produced hazardous air quality in many southwest Oregon cities such as Medford, Grants Pass and Glendale. Bison Fire, Northwest Nevada: This lightning-caused fire burned from July 4th through July14th, charring over 24,000 acres (9,700 hectares), one of the largest fires in western Nevada history. High winds helped the fire spread quickly, and smoke from the fire caused poor air quality in Carson City and Reno, Nevada. Aspen Fire, Southeast California: This lightning-caused fire began July 22 and was 45 % contained on July 31. The fire had burned nearly 18,000 acres (7,300 hectares) and caused hazardous air quality in Mammoth Lakes and northern Inyo County.
July (throughout month): Flooding in the Southwest: Heavy precipitation caused several instances of flooding in Arizona and New Mexico. On July 28, a tour bus was swept off the road while trying to cross a wash near Kingman, Arizona. In Albuquerque, high winds and lightning caused power outages. Flooding and winds damaged homes and businesses as well as city's zoo.

"Nobody had any interest in what he was doing because nobody, including myself, knew he was doing anything," Copley once said.

Sir George might bluster and Copley might threaten, but their threats would be in vain.
Copley was arrested on the 6th, and first examined on July 12.
It never struck him that a mere negotiation on this point from Copley's view would be as good as a written document.

Starkey: Howland tarnished the UCLA way? Ha!
This was one bombshell that failed to explode.
Twitter nation foretold Tuesday of a salacious Sports Illustrated story -- written by Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative reporter George Dohrmann -- to be released the next morning.
Word was, it could destroy coach Ben Howland and severely damage the UCLA basketball program. When I got ahold of the online version early Wednesday and saw the ominous headline, I could scarcely imagine what might be revealed:
Not The UCLA Way ... Inside the Fall of a Storied Program.
Then I read it.
And laughed out loud.
Basically, it is the tale of a power-crazed coach (really, Howland?) and a few bad apples he failed to control. I'm guessing the NCAA won't hit UCLA with the death penalty for this. Or even impose a single sanction.
Howland might get fired, but it won't be on account of the story. It'll be because he is losing at a rate that got his predecessor, Steve Lavin, canned eight years ago.
The story describes the same Howland many came to know and loathe, er, love in Pittsburgh -- aloof, idiosyncratic, controlling -- only not imposing the kind of discipline he was known for at Pitt and hired for at UCLA.
Maybe he was scarred by so many Bruins players leaving early for the NBA and got lax. Some will be pleased to see Howland humbled like this.
In the end, though, the "bombshell" comes off as yet another sensationalized piece put forth by a desperate and decaying publication. Call it the college basketball version of the SI Swimsuit Issue.
Most troublesome is that Dohrmann falls prey to the myth surrounding UCLA basketball history. He should have known better. He themed his piece around not just Howland's troubles but Howland's troubles soiling the (alleged) high ideals of the John Wooden dynasty.
Dohrmann writes of the UCLA program always having had "its own special shine." He begins with Wooden explaining his "Pyramid of Success" to 600 UCLA student-athletes in 2007. Atop each page of the SI story sits a UCLA logo and the phrase "Not the UCLA Way."
What exactly is the UCLA way• Because I'm here to tell you that even if Howland messed up in myriad ways over the past four years, at least his program didn't cheat. Not that I'm aware of, anyway.
You do know that Wooden's UCLA dynasty cheated, don't you?
If not, you and Dohrmann and anyone else interested in the truth should go back and read a real investigative piece. It appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Feb. 1, 1982.
Now that was a bombshell.
Reporters Alan Greenberg, since deceased, and Mike Littwin, now a general columnist for the Denver Post, interviewed 45 people connected to the UCLA basketball program, including former players and coaches.
Their story portrayed wealthy booster Sam Gilbert as a "one-man clearinghouse" for players. It detailed how members of seven of Wooden's 10 championship teams were lavished with "cars, stereos, clothes, airline tickets and scalpers' prices for season tickets," all against NCAA rules.
Even before Gilbert, UCLA boosters were paying players, if you believe Jack Hirsch, a starter on Wooden's first title team in 1964. Hirsch told authors Dwight Chapin and Jeff Prugh, in the Wooden biography "The Wizard of Westwood," that players were paid by the rebound.
Nobody knows how much Wooden knew of all this, but for however great a person he was, he clearly did not promote an "atmosphere of compliance," as the saying goes.
Weigh all of that against Dorhmann's report that players on one of Howland's recent teams "one evening partied at the Beverly Hills mansion of a wealthy UCLA fan."
Ooooooooooh. Tell us more.
Other players drank and smoked pot• Wow, I bet that doesn't happen anywhere else.
I called Littwin in June 2010 and asked him how the '82 piece was received.
"No one other than Sam Gilbert ever disputed a word we wrote," he said. "No one said they were misquoted."
So tell me again, what exactly is the UCLA way?
