Shown above, the tweak reminds you after you install it for the first time that you can tap on the battery indicator to open up a drop-down menu. From the drop-down menu, you will be able to access several toggles, change your power setting, view the amount of used RAM, and access your App Switcher (Auxo-compatible) all in one place.
The toggles/shortcuts you have access to include (NOTE: Some of the toggles listed may have to be manually enabled from the BatteryDoctorPro application):
- Enable or disable Wi-Fi
- Enable or disable Data
- Enable or disable 3G
- Adjust display brightness
- Free RAM
- Enable or disable Airplane Mode
- Emulate home button
- Enable or disable Location Services
- Clear all application badges
- Toggle flashlight

BatteryDoctorPro includes a Notification Center widget, which does all of the same things that the battery indicator dropdown menu does. Both the Notification Center widget, and the battery indicator dropdown menu can be enabled or disabled whenever you feel like enabling or disabling them:
From the BatteryDoctorPro application, which is palced on the home screen after installing the jailbreak tweak from Cydia, you can access all of the same options; however, you will also find some other goodies. For example, you will be able to clean up the junk files that accumulate on your iOS device over time. The application will give you the amount of space that it was able to clear after it cleans the junk files:
The application includes other useful features, such as battery information records, system information, application managers, and much more. The system information gives you interesting information about your device, as well as the operating temperature, amount of free RAM, amount of free storage, the CPU usage, and more.
Its difficult not to recommend this application, being that its completely free and gives you a ton of useful features and information. BatteryDoctorPro is compatible with iOS 5 or later, and can be used on any iPhone or iPod touch. If youre interested in giving it a try, you will find it in Cydias BigBoss repository.
Name: BatteryDoctorPro
Price: FREE

I was never pleased with Caldwell and his play it close to the vest everytime approach, but holy crap I'm not sure about Arians and his balls to the wall approach either. Having Vinatieri try that 54 yarder with around three minutes still left in the half had me really puzzled. Simply Adam is no longer the player he was and I thought that was evident last year.
I guess if Arians is really trying to show the team how much faith he has then so be it, but the closer the Colts actually have a shot at the playoffs I hope a dose of reality sets in.

The spiralling costs of cancer research and treatment
"The problem at the moment is that it takes $1bn [£600m] to get a drug to market and 15 years or more. That is the justification for the pharmaceutical industry charging high prices.
If on the other hand by the time you get to phase 2 you know exactly which patients it is going to work on, you only put those patients through and instead of 10% you get an 80% response rate.

ARMS is USDA's primary source of information on the financial condition, production practices, and resource use of America's farm businesses and the economic well-being of America's farm households. ARMS is a nationally representative survey administered using several phases—sample screener, field-level, and farm-level phases—targeting about 5,000 fields and 30,000 farms each year.
The field-level phase collects information on production practices and costs (fertilizer, pesticide, labor, tillage, seed, etc.) for target commodities. The farm-level phase collects financial information for farm businesses and a variety of financial and demographic information (age, education, occupation, off-farm income, etc.) for farm operators and their households. The survey collects information from 48 States and is designed to be representative of the continental U.S and to support State-level estimates for 15 key agricultural States.
ARMS data support official statistics and policy-relevant economic research regarding farm financial performance, farm household well-being, and conservation/environmental programs. In turn, the statistics and research inform public and private decision makers weighing alternative policies and programs affecting the farm sector, farm families, and the environment.
The Economic Research Service (USDA-ERS) and the National Agricultural Statistics Service (USDA-NASS) share funding and management responsibilities for this annual survey.

Paclitaxel, Cisplatin, and Radiation Therapy With or Without Cetuximab in Treating Patients With Locally Advanced Esophageal Cancer
- Full Text View
- Tabular View
- No Study Results Posted
- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as paclitaxel and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Monoclonal antibodies, such as cetuximab, can block tumor growth in different ways. Some block the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Others find tumor cells and help kill them or carry tumor-killing substances to them. Cetuximab may stop the growth of esophageal cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. It is not yet known whether giving paclitaxel and cisplatin together with radiation therapy is more effective with or without cetuximab in treating esophageal cancer.
PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is comparing how well giving paclitaxel and cisplatin together with radiation therapy works with or without cetuximab in treating patients with locally advanced esophageal cancer.

Detailed Description:
- To evaluate whether the addition of cetuximab to chemotherapy comprising paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves overall survival compared with paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy alone in patients with esophageal cancer treated without surgery.
- To evaluate whether the addition of cetuximab to paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves local control by increasing the clinical complete response and decreasing local recurrence in these patients.
- To evaluate adverse events in these patients.
- To evaluate endoscopic complete response rates in these patients.
- To evaluate if the addition of cetuximab to paclitaxel, cisplatin, and radiotherapy improves the Esophageal Cancer Subscale score of the FACT-E quality of life tool.
- To evaluate the quality-adjusted survival of each treatment arm using EQ-5D if the primary endpoint supports the primary hypothesis.
OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to histology (adenocarcinoma* vs squamous), cancer lesion size (< 5 cm vs ≥ 5 cm), and disease status of celiac nodes (present vs absent). Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
NOTE: * The adenocarcinoma stratum is closed as of 5/3/2012.
- Arm I: Patients receive cetuximab IV over 1-2 hours, paclitaxel IV over 1 hour, and cisplatin IV over 30-60 minutes on days 1, 8, 15, 22, 29, and 36. Patients also undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 5½ weeks for a total dose of 50.4Gy.
- Arm II: Patients receive paclitaxel and cisplatin as in arm I. Patients also undergo radiotherapy as in arm I.
Patients undergo endoscopy 6 to 8 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy. Quality of life is assessed at baseline, within 1 week of post-treatment endoscopy, and at 1 and 2 years from beginning of study treatment.

" Address: 2 Port Dundas Place / Glasgow / G2 3LD / Scotland / Hotel includes a restaurant called Oshi "
I have stayed here a couple of times and love the location, but have been bothered by outside noise.
The rooms we have had have not been huge, though they were the cheaper rooms but are well equipped. If you upgrade your room you do get many extras like cd players, mezzanine levels but you will pay considerably more for this. Personally I wouldnt bother as there are are hotels in Glasgow that I find more comfortable. The rooms here are very modern in their theme and may not be to everyone's taste.
I do however like the bar in this hotel, it tends to be quite busy with large glass window so great for people watching. The bar food is good too, so I would recommend popping in for a drink, especially if going to the Cineworld cinema or the Royal Concert Hall which are on the doorstep along with the bus station and Buchanan Galleries shopping centre.
Breakfasts are buffet style and are tasty and I couldnt really fault them. There is no on site car parking but there is an NCP car park accross the road, this can be a bit pricey though.
So if you are not a light sleeper or want to spend more to upgrade your room, this hotel will be fine. Do check around for prices though as they can vary considerably.
The Glasgow Park Inn, formerly the Langs Hotel, is situated within a few minutes walk from the main shopping streets of Glasgow, yet still situated within a quiet area. This 4 star hotel has 100 rooms, ranging from £89 per night to £350 per experience night.
Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland, with approximately 560,000 residents. The city is home to two main football clubs (Rangers and Celtic), the second best shopping destination outside London and is home to a number of art galleries and museums, including the recently refurbished Kelvingrove Art Galleries. Add in a vibrant nightlife, and you'll always find something to do in Glasgow.
Located across from the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall, and only a few minutes walk to the main shopping areas in Glasgow, this hotel is ideally located for a leisure break. The hotel is best reached by coach, as the Buchanan Bus Station is right next door.
Drivers beware! The hotel has no parking facilities, although discounted parking is available at the local shopping centre (Buchanan Galleries), a few minutes walk from the hotel. This car park does however close at 11pm each night, so best not to park here if you require use of your car during the night. A nearer, and cheaper, car park is situated directly behind the car park, although it is harder to find a space during the day, but this car park has the advantage of remaining open all night.
On entering the hotel, the Reception desk is immediately in front of you, with the restuarant to the left, and the cafe bar to the right.
The Reception desk is small, though never busy as the staff are very efficient. The Reception desk has a waterfall behind it, which changes colour, so it keeps your mind off any wait. It only took a few minutes to check in, and we were informed that our room was not yet ready, but in the meantime we were welcome to enjoy a complimentary drink at the bar - not bad given that we had arrived about 30 minutes before the advertised check in time.
About five minutes after getting our drinks, the receptionist came over to tell us that our room was now ready, and that she would arrange for the Concierge to take our bags up.
One of the biggest and most impressive hotel rooms I've ever stayed in. We had a mezzanine suite on the second floor. The room itself was well designed with a dining area, lounge, and spacious en-suite bathroom on the lower floor with the bedroom on the mezzanine.
The lounge had a widescreen TV, DVD player, and a Playstation, and well as a comfy corner suite, with heater and air-conditioning. The dining area had a dining table with 6 seats, and upstairs was a dressing table, wardrobe, massive queen size bed, and a TV attached to a cabinet on the bottom of the bed. In the bathroom there was a bath and a separate power shower, with room enough for two!
The hotel has an award winning restaurant, Oshi, plus a bar (Bbar) serving bar snacks.
Oshi has an oriential feel to it, with a water feature descended from the mezzanine level to a small river through the middle of the restaurant. The food is gorgeous, well presented, and reasonably priced if you're not staying at the hotel.
On our first stay I had sushi, the most delicious lamb shanks (the meat fell off the bone) and a white chocolate dessert. Each course was perfectly cooked and presented.
The BBar sells a range of well priced food, and is well placed to sit and people watch (one of my favourite hobbies!)
As far as I know, the hotel doesn't have a leisure centre, although there is a gym. There are also beauty treatments available, although this needs to be booked in advance, as I don't think the therapist is there full time.
The hotel offers the normal services to business travellers, such as broadband, fax, etc.
This hotel is perfect for a relaxing stay in the heart of Glasgow city centre. The hustle and bustle of the city is only moment's walk away, yet the hotel offers a feel of tranquillity.
**** Park Inn- Glasgow****
Recently through hotelclub.com i was given about £25 off a hotel so my friend and i decided that instead of getting our normal hotel extra cheap we would treat ourself to a nicer one.
**Location/Getting there**
Located in the centre of Glasgow,this four star hotel is right next to the Bus station and a five minute walk to the train station.It is also very close to Buchanan street and the gallery of modern art.
As you enter the hotel you see the restaurant to one side, reception desk straight ahead and the bar to your right.Staff were very friendly and checking in only took about five minutes.
The hotel has 100 rooms and every room has a dvd player or playstation,ours had a dvd player.The shower in the en suite bathroom was amazing!!! The best shower i have ever came across in a hotel and i have stayed in a few.It was nice and powerful with several different settings to choose from.The furniture was more old fashioned than i expected but still rather nice.
The hotel has an award winning restaurant called "Oshi Restaurant" which was absolutely dead when we went so we ended up asking them to send the food up to our room.The food was nice but its not really our thing.I like nice hotel rooms with en suite etc but i don't really like the food that goes with it. Luckily Glasgow has loads of nice places to eat.
The hotel also contains high speed internet access i didn't use) and a fitness centre and pool which are nice.
This hotel is part of goldpoints plus-this is free to join and allows you to earn and spend points on hotel stays.Other hotels which include this is the Radisson at London Stanstead .It also gives you money off your food bill.
Prices start from £89.00 per night and go up to £315.00 for 2 nights on one of the experience packages.
In the heart of Glasgow's city centre, one is close to several main attractions.

Phelps pushing for spot on Opening Day bench
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Cord Phelps has opened plenty of eyes with his strong showing this spring for the Indians, but it is not clear whether the versatile infielder has played his way into being seriously considered for the Opening Day bench.
What is apparent is Phelps is firmly on Cleveland's radar.
"Regardless of whether he makes our team or not," manager Terry Francona said, "he's played to the point where he's going to help us win games, which we're thrilled about. I know we have decisions to make coming up in a couple weeks, but we're so happy with the way he's played.
"He can play second. He can play third. He can hit. He's going to go play first. His versatility, and the way he hits, is exciting for us as an organization. Does that start on April 1? We don't know yet. We'll see."
Through 18 Cactus League games this spring, the 26-year-old Phelps -- a switch hitter -- has hit at a .324 (12-for-37) clip with two home runs, three doubles, five RBIs and seven walks against six strikeouts. Last year with Triple-A Columbus, Phelps hit .276 with 16 homers, 34 doubles and 62 RBIs in 135 games. He posted a .368 on-base percentage and a .451 slugging percentage for the Clippers last year.
In parts of two seasons with Cleveland, Phelps has hit just .173 (18-for-104) in 49 big league games.
As things currently stand, the Tribe's Opening Day bench projects to include backup catcher Lou Marson and infielder Mike Aviles. There will be one or two more jobs available, depending on whether Cleveland begins the regular season with 12 or 13 pitchers. The Indians are weighing whether to carry an extra arm given that the team has 13 straight games with no off-days to open the season.
"We're discussing everything," Francona said.
Veteran Jason Giambi and utility man Ryan Raburn -- both in camp on Minor League contracts -- are leading candidates for cracking the Opening Day bench. Other players in the mix include catcher Yan Gomes and outfielder Ezequiel Carrera.
"It'll probably come down pretty much to the end," Francona said of the bullpen and bench decisions. "Because, even when you make your mind up, if something happens -- somebody sprains an ankle or something -- [things change]. We'll try to communicate as much as we can."

Click here, or on the image above, to see Last Year at Marienbad in its entirety.
I was talking with a student yesterday after class, and he mentioned seeing, and appreciating, Last Year at Marienbad recently, so I thought I'd say a few words on this iconic arthouse classic. For some people, Marienbad is easy to dismiss; the central "plot," if one can call it that, is very simple: a man and woman meet at a luxurious resort hotel, but have they met before? What are their identities, if any? Can we trust our memories, and that which we think we know? Or is human existence a mystery, to be ceaselessly repeated over and over again, whether we know it or not?
As the Criterion website for the film puts it, "Not just a defining work of the French New Wave but one of the great, lasting mysteries of modern art, Alain Resnais' epochal Last Year at Marienbad (L'année dernière à Marienbad) has been puzzling appreciative viewers for decades. Written by radical master of the New Novel Alain Robbe-Grillet, this surreal fever dream, or nightmare, gorgeously fuses the past with the present in telling its ambiguous tale of a man and a woman (Giorgio Albertazzi and Delphine Seyrig) who may or may not have met a year ago, perhaps at the very same cathedral-like, mirror-filled château they now find themselves wandering. Unforgettable in both its confounding details (gilded ceilings, diabolical parlor games, a loaded gun) and haunting scope, Resnais' investigation into the nature of memory is disturbing, romantic, and maybe even a ghost story."
To which critic Mark Polizzotti adds, "So much critical ink has been shed over Last Year at Marienbad that one might wonder if the flood of commentary, once receded, would take the film along with it. Alain Resnais' second feature has been lavishly praised and royally slammed; awarded the Golden Lion at the 1961 Venice Film Festival and nominated for an Oscar, but also branded an 'aimless disaster' by Pauline Kael; lauded by some as a great leap forward in the battle against linear storytelling and a worthy successor to Hoffmann, Proust, and Borges, dismissed by others as hopelessly old-fashioned.
The ambivalence is understandable. Marienbad blatantly toys with our expectations regarding plotline, character development, continuity, conflict, resolution—all those elements we've come to expect from a satisfying motion picture. Like its nameless hero, the film relentlessly pursues us with a barrage of assertions while giving us little to hold on to as convincingly true, until in the end, we, like Delphine Seyrig's equally nameless heroine, have only two choices: remain steadfast in our resistance to the seduction or just plain submit.
The plot is disarmingly simple: At a retreat for the Other Half located somewhere in Europe, a man (referred to in the screenplay as X, and played by Italian heartthrob Giorgio Albertazzi) tries to convince a woman (A, Seyrig's character) that they had fallen in love the previous summer, 'in Karlstadt, Marienbad, or Baden-Salsa. Or even here in this salon.' In his telling, the putative couple had planned to run away together, but she had asked him to wait one year. The woman at first refutes X's claim but is gradually swayed by his insistence. After several episodes of muted sparring between X and A's cooler-than-thou husband-guardian, M (Sacha Pitoëff), mainly over hands of the game Nim that M always wins, A finally agrees to leave with X.
So far, it's still the same old story, a fight for love and bragging rights. The devil, as always, lurks in the details. Indeed, the more evidence X provides as proof of veracity, the more discrepancies emerge, and the more the enigma thickens. As the film progresses, the image on-screen appears almost willfully to clash with X's voice-over description, sometimes prompting him to shout at it like an exasperated director with an especially temperamental star.
Incidents and settings frequently repeat, but their details change disconcertingly between one iteration and the next: A's remembered bedroom veers from bare to baroque; the hotel gardens sometimes boast a maze of shrubbery, sometimes grand alleys as stiff and straight as the gentlemen's tuxedos. (Resnais obtained this effect by shooting at three different palaces—none actually located in Marienbad.) Added to the narrator's stalkerlike pursuit of the reticent heroine, these inconsistencies imbue the film with an atmosphere of uncertainty, instability, and threat."
The image above serves as an apt emblem for the entire film; the people cast images, but the trees that so symmetrically surround them don't. They exist in a state of eternal stasis, unable to move forwards, condemned to repeat a past which may or may not exist. All the games they play within the film — and the game of Nim quickly became a college fad at the time of the film's first release — will avail them nothing. Resnais' cool, distanced images perfectly evoke the equally detached vision of scenarist Alain Robbe-Grillet, who would top this film the next year with the even more mesmeric L'Immortelle, which sadly remains out of print on DVD due to a tangle of rights problems.
But whether you consider Marienbad a mystery, or an exercise in style, or ultimately a statement of the futility of human endeavor, the film is certainly worth watching and thinking about, particularly when many people either dismiss it, or take it for granted that everyone has seen it. Each new generation discovers these films for themselves. This is how it has always been, and should always be.

AUSTIN — Retailer Whole Foods is continuing its foray into the health-and-wellness realm.
The retailer, which doesn't shy from health-and-wellness initiatives — including a healthy eating mobile application, "cooking coaches" and the recently-launched charity aimed to provide children with access to healthy food choices through partnerships with schools, educators and organizations — has commenced a pilot of membership-only Wellness Clubs in five cities, including Dedham, Mass., Chicago, Oakland, Calif., New York and Princeton, N.J. Chicago and Oakland Wellness Clubs will open next month, while the New York and Princeton Wellness Clubs will launch in October. It is speculated that if the pilot program proves successful, the Wellness Club offering will be taken nationwide.
Whole Foods Market Wellness Clubs provide an inviting environment where members are empowered to make educated and positive lifestyle choices that promote their long-term health and well-being through coaching, delicious food and a supportive community," the Whole Foods Wellness Club page reads.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this study is to assess the non-inferiority of a multidose GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) regimen to a GnRH agonist (triptorelin) long protocol in young infertile women undergoing ovarian stimulation with Pergoveris 150 I.U./75 I.U. (r-hFSH/ r-hLH) for ICSI treatment because of male infertility.
To assess the efficacy of ovarian stimulation using either a GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) or a GnRH agonist (triptorelin) long protocol in infertile women with good prognosis and to determine the safety of ovarian stimulation.
Subsample analysis: in 10 patients of each of both arms, serum samples will be collected daily during the stimulation period and be stored frozen at -70 °C. The following hormone concentrations will be measured later in single assay batches: LH, FSH, oestradiol, progesterone, androstenedione, testosterone, inhibin A, inhibin B, AMH.
Multinational, multicentre, open label, randomized, 2-arm parallel-group phase IV study. Eligible patients will be randomly allocated to one of the two groups: the agonist group will receive Decapeptyl® 0.1 mg (triptorelin) starting in the mid-luteal phase of the natural cycle until downregulation until the day of ovulation induction. The antagonist group will receive cetrorelix 0.25 mg from stimulation day 6 to ovulation induction. In both groups, Pergoveris® 150 I.U./75 I.U. (r-hFSH/r-hLH) will be used for ovarian stimulation from cycle day 2 to ovulation induction.

|Prospective Randomized Study Comparing Ovarian Stimulation With Pergoveris Supported by a GnRH Agonist in a Long Protocol Versus Multidose GnRH Antagonist Regimen in Young Infertile Women Treated With ICS
- number of mature oocytes [ Time Frame: up to two years ]The primary objective of this study is to assess the non-inferiority of a multidose GnRH antagonist (cetrorelix) regimen to a GnRH agonist (triptorelin) long protocol in young infertile women undergoing ovarian hyperstimulation with Pergoveris for ICSI treatment because of male infertility. Non-inferiority is defined by the number of mature metaphase II oocytes available for ICSI.
- incidence of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) [ Time Frame: up to two years ]The safety of ovarian stimulation with respect to the number of women suffering of the ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS). OHSS is defined by enlargement of both ovaries together with ascites and haematocrit rise above 45%.
- The number of early miscarriages. [ Time Frame: up to two years ]Miscarriage is defined a pregnancy loss within 12 weeks after the last menstruation.
- The number of participants with adverse events. [ Time Frame: up to two years ]Adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or a clinical investigation subject, who was administerd a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily must have a causal relationship with the treatment.

Maureen O'Connor, 52, is frequently asked if she is the ex-mayor of San Diego. She isn't. But since the "real" former mayor pleaded not guilty last week to misappropriating $2 million of funds from a nonprofit foundation while nursing a gambling habit, the "other" Maureen O'Connor is getting some fallout. Friends have greeted her with: "Hey, I heard about you on the news."
There are a few similarities. She worked for the City of San Diego and now is program director of San Diego Project Heart Beat teaching CPR and how to use external defibrillators. Her nickname is "Mo," and she hails from a large Irish Catholic family. Three of her siblings have the same names as those of the former mayor. She even has received the retired politician's mail by mistake.
But this O'Connor lives in Carlsbad, is 14 years younger and doesn't gamble.
Another Maureen O'Connor, unrelated to the other two, lives in Point Loma. Former San Diego Union columnist Tom Blair noted 24 years ago the birth of her baby, emphasizing that the new mother was "not" the mayor. Mayor Mo, whom the woman didn't know personally, sent her flowers.
Baby boon: Actor Dean McDermott just won $50,000 on a TV show for Miracle Babies. The local nonprofit helps infants in need of neonatal intensive care. After becoming the champion on Food Network's Rachael vs. Guy Celebrity Cook-Off last week, he described Miracle Babies as "near and dear to my heart." It "hits home because my wife and I were trying to prevent a premature birth with our fourth child," he told Food Network's "Dish." "I want to help others in need."
Six years ago, McDermott and wife Tori Spelling co-starred in a reality series filmed at their inn in Fallbrook. He wants to continue honing his cooking skills and hopes to operate a food truck, then restaurants.
Crash cachet: The couple whose wedding aboard a hot-air balloon ended in a crash landing in Peñasquitos last month is walking on air this month.
Jonathan and Kerin Narcisse, who became known as the "Wedding Crashers'' when video of their ill-fated nuptials went viral, won a honeymoon on Katie Couric's show on Valentine's Day.
Kerin, a chaplain at San Diego Hospice before moving to Iowa in November to be with Jonathan, told Katie she used to watch the balloons and had insisted on being married in one. Jonathan went along despite his terror of heights. No hot air balloon rides on their honeymoon getaway — it's in Miami Beach.
Say, what? Texas Gov. Rick Perry is trying to entice California firms to relocate in his state, but his wife, Annette, and daughter, Sydney, seemed perfectly happy patronizing a Pacific Beach restaurant, The Patio, on Sunday. Sydney currently lives in San Diego.

|Another walkoff is to go far right (past the Three Sisters area) to an obvious walk-off. Don't go left or straight ahead to a small hole w/chimney. That's Candlestick (5.7) which I doubt you'd want to downclimb.

|We decended via the bolts at the top of etude to the left/right hand on the opposite side of the Nautilus. From the plateau at the top of the climb its an easy walk there. This is also an easy way to toprope either of these climbs. There are no bolts left on these climbs and being slab climbs therefore unprotectable.

|I'm just curious as to why bolts were added to the top of this climb, yesterday June 14. There is a good place to build an anchor at the top of the climb.

Were the bolts added on Sunday (7/14)? I had a group of scouts up there most of Saturday, and didn't see them...
Also - does the crack on the slab just to the right of Cornelius (left-arching line which joins Cornelius about 10 feet below the top) have a name? Short, but a fun little sequence of perfect hand jams.

First, whoever put bolts on this really needs an attitude adjustment. With a #6 friend. WTF. There is not a single reason for those to be there. The anchor is piss-easy to set, the walk off is of similar difficulty to the approach, and this hasn't needed bolts at any point in the 30+ years since it was originally climbed.
Second, the right variant doesn't have a name, so far as I'm aware of, but it goes at about 5.8 if you start from the ground and do the face below to get to the crack, rather than traversing in from the start of Cornelius.
By SW Marlatt
From: Arvada, CO
Jun 15, 2009
I completely agree about the attitude adjustment, and hope that someone will cleanly remove the bolts in the near future. As you say, it is ridiculously easy to build an anchor on top - with almost whatever rack you happen to be carrying (I think I used a couple stoppers and a mid-sized hex, but there are many, many, many choices.)
To whatever kind soul removes the bolts: please pull, rather than chop! That will keep the slap looking nice, and avoids leaving sharp nasties sticking out for novice climbers.
Per the right crack - I traversed in from the left, and that's harder than Cornelius, but much easier than 5.8. The crack itself is easy - 5.6 if Cornelius is 5.5. I didn't try the wall immediately below the right crack, but the face to the left (below Cornelius) seemed quite a bit harder than 5.8.

I agree about the unecessary bolts.
Now, someone has added a three bolt face climb between Easy Jam and Cornelius, with a two bolt anchor.
Vedauwoo was developed with traditional ground-up protection and bolting. People need to respect the historical ethics of the main Vedauwoo area.

|You can get details about those bolts, it led me to change my opinion regarding the face climb. Still not a fan of the anchor bolts, but I understand why they are there and would prefer either a clean, correct removal or to leave them in place and fully usable. On the other hand, please climb Slick and Superficial, Pretty Girls With Long Knives, Squat, Arch Stanton, and about a dozen other rap-bolted cracks in the main area at Vedauwoo before spouting about "ground up". While you could claim that the first wave of Vedauwoo development was ground up, all the other waves of development since the 1950s have been any way that got it done. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of these bolts, but anybody who tells you that Vedauwoo is some bastion of ground-up trad-to-the-core values is trying to sell you something. Anyway, the major side-effect of the I-hate-bolts crowd has been the maddening removal of necessary anchor hardware from good, useful anchors, or the eye-sore hanger-theft that was the first "chopping" of that route. Either contact Scarpelli (who placed them, see the Vedauwoo main page for details) and arrange for the correct removal of those bolts, or shut the hell up. All the complaints have done is led to ignorant would-be Samaritans making the situation worse, and giving the Forest Service a reason to regulate climbing for us.

|Due to an enormous amount of traffic on this route, the rock has become quite polished, making the climb somewhat more difficult than "5.5." Was on it today, and it sure felt more like 5.7 than "a mere 5.5."

Fun climb!
Rodger, I think the big time heat also had a lot to do with the grease factor. Rubber was giving way some, but no doubt the 1000s and 1000s of ascents it's seen also plays a part in the "Oh shit! I might actually come off of a fucking 5.5! What the fuck?"
Had a BLAST!
After you left (Rodger), we did it again on a TR, and instead of traveling below the crack, we simply walked up on it. Dropped that section down to about 5.0 doing it that way.
I personally wouldn't want to lead it that way, placing somewhat blindly below my feet.

Paradise golf courses are gearing up for their summer seasons, but in the midst of the California drought neither Lava Creek Golf Course, Paradise Pines Golf Course nor Tuscan Ridge Golf Course have received a notice to reduce water usage this summer.
Tuscan Ridge Golf Course General Manager Nathan Bohneman said Tuscan Ridge cut its water usage by 20 percent in 2010 in preparation for California regulations that will require a 20 percent reduction in water usage by 2020.
"What golf courses typically do is just water everywhere for aesthetics, and we cut out some of the aesthetic areas so it didn't really affect our play but reduced our water by 20 percent," Bohneman said. "We also reduced our fairways quite a bit."
Tuscan Ridge is an 18-hole golf course that runs off of well water, and Bohneman said they are hoping that if there are any upcoming regulations they won't have to cut back on watering their fairways anymore.
"If there (are) any requirements, we will definitely let them know that we already began reducing water," he added. "We hope to not change the golf course at all."
Tuscan Ridge also has three holding ponds, two of which they currently use for water.
"The fire department actually uses it during the fire season for water," Bohneman said.
He noted that Tuscan Ridge is on the smaller side for an 18-hole golf course, and on average uses 550,000 gallons of water a day during the summer.
Paradise Pines Golf Course Superintendent Jimmy Estrella said they have already reduced their water as well.
"From the beginning of the year back in January I have been working with Del Oro and I haven't been watering in the last two months," Estrella said.
Paradise Pines is a 9-hole golf course in Magalia that gets its water from Del Oro Water Company, and Estrella said he has been holding regular meetings with the superintendent there to see how he can help out with the drought.
"It is just going to be a dry year, so we are starting ahead before we get asked to, or before we get told to turn down the water," he said. "When we did water, we watered the greens and tees, and instead of watering every night like we used to, we have been watering every other night, or we just aren't watering at all."
He said the weather forecast is calling for more rain this spring and he is hoping the rain will help keep the golf course green.
"People were asking what is going on, and we are just rationing our water right now before we are told to, and it looks bad, but the good thing is the green is just the name of it," he said. "Instead of using sprinklers we might be hand watering here and there, but right now we aren't watering and I don't plan on watering until hopefully we get rain."
Lava Creek Golf course is a 9-hole golf course and 18-basket disc golf course. Owner Ana Brandi said if there are any upcoming regulations this summer regarding water usage Lava Creek and other golf courses will be affected tremendously.
"We have been doing a lot of reseeding and right now it is nice and green, but if we don't water it we will have to work again reseeding in the fall and the winter time so that it is green again," Brandi said.
"We have been (reseeding) it for at least three years now, and we thought that it was going to be nice and perfect this time, but with the water shortage it is probably going to be a big impact."
If Lava Creek has to cut back on water usage, the game plan is to use some of the water from their holding pond, but Brandi said there isn't enough to sustain the whole 27-acre course.
There is also a creek that runs through the course, but she added that the creek isn't as full during the summer as it is in the spring.
The drought alone won't affect the areas of the golf courses that can be watered, but also the heat.
"We are a weather driven business, so if it is hot it is hot and fewer people come out," he said. "If it is a hotter summer it will definitely affect our business."
However, Brandi said she isn't worried about the hotter weather at her course.
"In the summertime it is 10 degrees cooler than in Chico, because of all the shade (from) the trees and the creek that create a breeze right here on green number four and five," she said.
Lava Creek will be celebrating its sixth anniversary of disc golf on the first weekend of May this summer, and in August Tuscan Ridge will host a golf tournament for Bare on the Ridge to raise money for Sawmill Peak Lookout Tower.
Lava Creek Golf Course is located at 5325 Clark Road, Tuscan Ridge Golf Course is located at 3100 Skyway and Paradise Pines Golf Course is located at 13917 South Park in Magalia.

Hale gets break after heavy workload
ATLANTA -- Braves long reliever David Hale will get a couple of days off after enduring a rough nine-day stretch. He entered Tuesday having appeared in five of Atlanta's past nine games, compiling a 12.27 ERA in 7 1/3 innings.
"We've put that young man in some situations that it's not a helpful situation," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "We're risking injuries, really. Guy's never done it and you can see it, too."
Hale has been the pitcher of record in each of Atlanta's past two losses, both of which have come in 13 innings. The right-hander gave up five-run innings to the Angels on June 14 and to the Phillies two days later, nearly doubling his season total.
"Just hang in there," Gonzalez said Monday night of what he would say to Hale after his second consecutive defeat. "Here's another guy that, I think he's pitched more than he's pitched ever. A situation a young kid has probably never been put through this stuff where he's pitched multiple innings, a day off and try to crank it up again."

This one has got me stumped: When selecting a custom menu item with data on the clipboard the GUI freezes. Freezes are longer for more data and longer for older versions of Labview. I wrote the test code, attached, but the example "Menu Selection Demo.vi" shows the same behavior.
Running Labview 2011 here are some freeze delays for my laptop (a bit slower machine) with various amounts of text data on the clipboard:
Clipboard size Delay
1.3MB 2.1 sec
2.6MB 4.9 sec
3.8MB 17.2 sec
14MB 253.3 sec
The delay appears to be non-linear. A doubling of the clipboard data size more than doubles the delay and a tripling of the clipboard data size produces a delay of almost 10X! Things are also much, much worse on my ancient version 8.2.1 (over a 40 second freeze for 1.3MB and it goes up from there).
Note that the freeze also occurs on programs with a custom menu when exiting. This would seem to suggest it might have something to do with the timeout, but why timeout should vary with clipboard size and not with the value wired to it makes this feel even more like a bug in the custom menu functionality.
This seems to be related to known issues in Labview 2011 #39604 49UBP4LE (http://www.ni.com/white-paper/13168/en#39604_by_Date) that was first reported in version 8.2.1. This known issue relates to Labview freezing when large amounts of data are copied from Labview to the clipboard. No fix has been implemented since this was originally reported in 2007.
This freeze also occurs when shortcuts to menu items (such as Ctrl + L) are used when large amounts of data are on the clip board.
Thus far this has been 100% repeatable and I have not been able to find a way around it. I also haven't found anything else similar on the forums or on the web. It appears to be a GUI freeze with Labview still running in the background, which is also odd.
My work-arounds at this point are either to not use the clipboard (bad), programatically clear the clipboard several times each second (worse) or remove all custom menu functionality and replace those functions with onscreen controls. So, for now, I'm removing custom menu items because my users need the clipboard and I can't have massive delays making my data acquisition code look crashed.
Any ideas would be helpful. This one has me scratching my head...
I've recreated this problem on 3 different computers now. All computers were running Win XP Pro SP3.
OK, this just keeps getting weirder. With lots of data on the clipboard there are lots of freezes. I just added a pop-up subVI and with data on the clipboard there is a freeze (depending on amount of data) just in opening up another window. So, this doesn't appear to be about menus, it looks to be a broader problem with Labview and lots of data on the clipboard. It's become too broad to work around since my users need the clipboard during their tests.
Hi Casey,
I'm sorry to say that you have come across one of the known issues in LabVIEW. Unfortunately there aren't currently any known work arounds for having data on the clipboard and preventing this freezing. I wish I could deliver better news, but using the clipboard in this fashion will cause you to keep running into these problems.
Thanks for getting back. This is a nasty bug. The freeze happens for any menu click (custom or otherwise), for calling a subVI pop-up window and for pressing Ctrl+ any key (even if that combination of keys is not mapped to anything). As soon as there's a Meg or so of data on the clipboard using Labview at all becomes very dangerous.
One of my users had a hardware buffer overflow crash as a result of this freeze. They were copying gathered data using the clipboard, hit Ctrl+L to run a test function, froze and then over ran the buffer. It's been a nightmare since then.
The only 2 "solutions" I have so far are:
1) tell users not to put large amounts of data (which interrupts the work flow of the test and still risks another crash)
2) the code programatically clears the clipboard a few times a second. No crash, but also no clipboard... and therefor no screenshots in the test reports.
I'm going with #2 above but I really need to find another way. Do you have any ideas? Perhaps using the command prompt to try to determine which application has focus and then only clearing the clipboard if Labview has focus? I haven't found any way to determine which application has focus from within Labview. Any ideas?
Thanks again,
Hi Casey,
To help me understand your application a little better, why are you copying to the clipboard data that you acquired while the program is still running? Rather than copying and pasting data to a different file, you could programmatically write the data to a different file.
Hi Cole-
The data copied was not from our test. While the test was running the test operators were doing other things related to the test, such as cutting and pasting screen shots of the test progress into MS Word, pasting data from previous tests into Excel for analysis and generally using the computer. At one point when there was a few Megs of data on the clipboard one of the menu items needed to be accessed and that caused the freeze. Then the freeze was long enough that the hardware gather overran the buffer. That crashed the software. The data acquisition system left the control loops and outputs in a less-than-lucky state and by the time the test operators had the system back up we had destroyed $90,000 of customer test hardware. Needless to say this has gotten a ton of attention from everyone, up to management at multiple companies.
My current fix is to clear the clipboard every cycle, but that really interrupts the work flow and means our report logs won't have much in them anymore. I'm looking into using user32.dll to determine which application has focus and possibly clearing the clipboard only if Labview has focus.
I'm definitely open to more suggestions on a work around for this. Thanks,
Hi Casey,
When data integrity is this important, I must maintain that you mitigate use of the clipboard and running other tasks with the computer as much as possible. Any other workaround can only add risk to compromising your data and hardware. However, your solution would definitely be beneficial in ensuring that a user doesn't unknowingly copy large amounts of data into memory. Still, it is my recommendation that you avoid performing other memory intensive tasks while running a DAQ system.
Well, doing Microsoft Word, Excel and what else on a computer that is used to run an important production test, is a very bad idea. There is no way that you can guarantee, that one of these applications is not causing some interruption to the currently running time critical task. Word and Excel and just about any other computer application can crash, lock up the computer or eat your breakfast while you are doing seemingly harmless things.
The issue with the clipboard in LabVIEW is indeed a problem that exists for a long time and I hope they fix it sometime, but the fact remains, that you should NEVER use a computer for other tasks while you run a test or other manufacturing related application on it, when a failure of that application can cost you more than a few pennies.
I definitely agree that running other applications while gathering data is a risk, but sometimes a risk worth running. Well designed software can make allowances for the effects of other programs and the Windows OS too. These are good precautions.
However, it's important to keep in mind that the problems were caused by the clipboard freeze in Labview, not by some other event such as Windows looking for printers or MS Word autosaving. That freeze is very nasty and the delay times are huge. It presents like a crash. I've been working with Labview for a while time (since long before event structures were in the code, yikes) and this is the first time I've come across this "known issue."
It's nasty enough that I'm going to be using my work arounds in many of my projects going forward:
Thanks again guys. This one is ugly.

YORKSHIRE Wildlife Trust has been awarded an extra £50,000 in funding from the People's Postcode Lottery.
The lottery's support for the Trust now amounts to £475,540, helping to manage the 95 nature reserves under its care and campaign to save precious sites for wildlife.
The Yorkshire Wildlife Trust (YWT) is one of 40 charities to get a share of £2 million in extra funding recently announced by the People's Postcode Lottery.
YWT Chief Executive Rob Stoneman thanked the lottery and said: "We have a big job on our hands to try reverse the patterns of decline in our wildlife populations and are witnessing the early impacts of a changing climate, so any help we receive is gratefully accepted.
"There is every reason to believe we can combat these losses; the benefits of connecting green spaces up to allow movement through the landscape has been shown to work."

Topic: Teddy Update
We just got home from the radiologist after almost a 2 hour visit. Talked with the dietitian who is at his office. Its like one stop shopping there. The radiologist is extremely happy with T and is ordering another PET Scan for June. I think the insurance company hates him. The hard "lump" is a small hernia caused from the Whipple Surgery. Not to worry, nothing to be done about it.
The bloating and gas could maybe be helped with a Pancreatic Enzyme which he has to go to an Internist for. This could aid in his digestion. All in all excellent news. I asked him about the accuracy of PET Scans and he said "its the best we've got". But not perfect. He also has a new cyber knife machine called the Novella TX and it already makes the one used on T in December out dated. With the new one no more gold rod injections needed and it is even quicker than the one T had. The doctors face lit up when he talked about it. I also gave him a stack of our brochures. So for this moment in time are are good to go. We thank you for all your good thoughts and wishes, they certainly helped.
P.S> Do not know why he gets cold........

The Best Beauty Finds Under $20
I know why so many women shy away from prints: They think they'll look "loud," or that a print will make them seem bigger. But if you write them off, you're missing out on an opportunity to add life to your wardrobe—not to mention all the great things they can do for your body. For instance, framing horizontal stripes with a dark blazer, like I'm wearing here, makes you look slimmer. Who doesn't love that?
1. A denim shirt gives print pants an easy vibe. Leave it untucked to get some coverage in the hip area.
2. Pants with a straight leg and a flat front are slimming— no matter how bold the pattern.
3. Go with neutral or dark prints until you feel confident enough for colors.
4. The easiest way to try prints is with a shoe. They're fun but not a huge commitment.

If the Pacers could just turn off the starters' stamina bar they would be darn near unbeatable.
PG24 MVP no??
He was being defended pretty well with less than 4+ seconds left at the 3pt line. It worked out in the end cuz it gave enough time for West to get the rebound/tip-in.

On a related note....at the beginning of the Clippers Broadcast on NBALP....the Clippers announcers were talking about if PG24 would have a chance to win the Most Improved Player in the League for a 2nd year in a row.
I can see PG24 being in the MVP coversation....at least get some 1st Place Votes....but unless the Pacers have the best record at the end of the regular season....I doubt that he'd be named League MVP.

This is a loaded question....but why do the Clips start Willie Green in the 1st unit ( if Redick is out )?
Why don't they just start JCraw...who is clearly the better Player at SG?

That's ridiculous and should be an offensive foul. Griffin is such an easy player to hate.

Im sorry Frank... that is not anywhere close to an offensive foul

Are you crazy? Blake grabbed Hibbert's head and pushed off.

BOSTON -- Manager John Farrell doesn't have to produce a lineup card for a game that matters until April 1. But he's already thinking about combinations, and it sounds as if you can expect Jacoby Ellsbury to bat in the leadoff spot.
Although Ellsbury has mainly batted first in his career, the Red Sox experimented with him in some other spots last season, with former manager Bobby Valentine batting him second 12 times and third 10 times.
Ellsbury erupted from a power standpoint in 2011, hitting 32 homers, but he went deep just four times during his injury-plagued, 74-game 2012 season.
"If guys play to their abilities, I think anybody looks at Jacoby Ellsbury as a leadoff guy with that kind of ability to not only steal bases but drive the ball with some consistency," Farrell said.
Dustin Pedroia, it would stand to reason, will just about always bat second or third.
Shane Victorino, Farrell indicated, might bounce around.
"The one variation to look at is against a left-handed pitcher. You can see Victorino in the two-hole against a lefty, you can see him down in the five-, six-hole in that area [against a righty]," Farrell said. "But I think the one thing that stands out is with [Stephen] Drew's addition and now [having Mike] Napoli, it gives us that complement and that balance left and right all the way through the lineup."
