Who says so? Rolland himself.
"With the decline in headquarters in Fort Wayne, there was a low point (in business leadership). But we're coming back, and Packnett is probably paramount," Rolland said. "He cares about people, has good judgment, can inspire others, attracts trust, doesn't come on too strong and has a passion for the community."
But it's a community Packnett couldn't find without a map when a corporate recruiter called in 2005 to ask whether he'd be interested in a job in someplace called Fort Wayne, Ind.
"I said, 'Forget it. I'm never going north,' " said the 58-year-old Packnett, an Oklahoma native who worked in the oil and gas industry for 10 years before entering the health-care field in 1988 through an acquaintance of his wife, Donna. To his surprise, Packnett found the work intellectually stimulating and a perfect fit for his "servant-leadership" style of management.
Perhaps even more to his surprise, Packnett took the Parkview job in 2006, having been selected over at least 11 other applicants and won over by the professionalism of the hospital's board and the upbeat friendliness of the city's residents.
And even though he arrived at the very time Parkview was beginning to plan the state-of-the-art $536 million regional medical center that opened last year near Dupont Road and Interstate 69, Packnett quickly immersed himself in attempts to achieve in Fort Wayne what he had witnessed in Oklahoma City: the transformation of a community through improvements downtown and elsewhere.
The year after he arrived, Packnett was a member of the task force charged with studying the city's possible purchase and development of 29 acres north of the St. Marys River near downtown. That land remains undeveloped, but in 2008 Packnett boosted downtown revitalization by announcing a $3 million, 10-year deal with what became known as Parkview Field. Parkview also gave its money and name to the city's to volleyball fieldhouse.
In 2009, he and Steel Dynamics Inc. founder Keith Busse – surely Packnett's rival as Rolland's heir apparent — laid the foundation for what became the Vision 2020 community planning initiative that drew more than 1,000 people to its initial event in 2010 and is now working to make northeast Indiana a "top global competitor" by developing, attracting and retaining talent.
Also in 2010, when it became apparent that traffic generated by Parkview's new Dupont Road campus would render existing roads inadequate, Parkview did something Packnett believes was unprecedented: It paid about $10 million of the cost of a new Interstate interchange and $4 million for improvements to nearby Diebold Road.
And when government leaders wanted to improve the effectives of local job-creation efforts, they put Packnett in charge of a review he said will soon recommend the consolidation of the Chamber of Commerce, the Economic Development Alliance and the Downtown Improvement District.
Packnett's consensus-building leadership rebukes both the top-down style he saw in the oil business and the elitism he experienced while working his first job as a housekeeper in a hospital. "A guy in a suit gave me that look, didn't even acknowledge my existence. I try to remember what it feels like to be a 'non-person.'
"There needs to be a CEO, but I'm chief among equals," he said.
Perhaps fittingly, his commitment to the community is paying unexpected dividends. Parkview had already intended to maintain a strong presence at its old Randallia Drive campus, but the fact that its new hospital is already bursting at the seams means Parkview may have to keep even more activity on Randallia than it thought – at least until the new hospital can be expanded.
And that doesn't include the $6 million or so the not-for-profit Parkview donated to the community last year, Packnett said. In addition to its regional campus, Parkview Health also operates four regional hospitals and the original hospital, employing about 8,350 people.
"In my experience, the corporate community drives every community in partnership with elected officials," Packnett said. "I'm sure some would say I have too much (clout), but I try to be collaborative. I love diversity."
He has also come to love Fort Wayne, which he is pleased to say has changed dramatically in seven years, perhaps with even better days ahead thanks to millions of dollars in Legacy and Capital Improvements funds that could help develop the rivers and fund other projects. Packnett plans to make Fort Wayne his long-term home – as reflected in his two children's decision to move into the new apartments at Harrison Square.
"I can't imagine wanting to live anyplace else," he said. Packnett's on the Capital Improvement Board, too.
That's good news to Mayor Tom Henry, who at one point was worried who would replace Rolland – then was worried Packnett might not stay.
"He's a top-shelf guy, no head games. One thing (Packnett) always told me was, 'I won't join a board then just sit there,' " said Henry, who numbers Packnett among his advisers.
As Packnett and Rolland acknowledge, a person's individual talents are enhanced by corporate wealth. And with annual personal benefits of more than $1 million and corporate revenues exceeding $1 billion, Packnett has plenty of that. But wealth alone does not make Packnett the leader he is, nor does it appear to motivate his civic commitment.
Happily, other leaders have begun to emerge. In addition to Busse, Packnett and Rolland — whose former company moved its headquarters to Philadelphia after he retired — mentioned home-grown Sweetwater Sounds' Chuck Surack and Fort Wayne Metals Research products' Scott Glaze. But there is always room and need for more, even if you don't make a million bucks or run a huge company.
Packnett, once a "nonperson," has shown the way.

SIDESHOW Comes to Annex Theatre, Now thru 5/6
Imagine if the wonders of Oz came to sepia-toned Kansas. Imagine if the marginalized were endowed with fantastical abilities. Imagine a world made of imaginings.
Using dance and theater, Sideshow explores the thrill of catching sight of the seemingly impossible and the beauty that can emerge from our most broken places. Sideshow portrays the feats and longings of a group of circus sideshow performers: A girl with jaundice whose fantasies materialize, a magnetic bearded lady, and a hunchback who possesses superhuman strength but dreams of walking a delicate high wire.
Sideshow performs at the Annex Theatre, located at 1100 E. Pike Street, tonight, May 1st- May 16th, Tuesday-Wednesday at 8 pm. A preview will be held Monday April 30th at 8pm. Tickets are $5-$10. For more information, visit www.annextheatre.org.
Sideshow began when Jenna Bean Veatch was reading through old notebooks and came across a one-page stream-of-consciousness fairy tale she'd written years earlier. It was the story of Daffodil, the jaundiced girl whose thoughts came to life. Since then the story has expanded and deepened to include more characters and its circus setting. Through workshops, improvisation, writing exercises, and the final rehearsal process, Jenna has shepherded Sideshow through the years into its current incarnation at Annex.
In addition to melding dance and theater, Sideshow incorporates bits of puppetry and is supported by a chorus singing haunting Appalachian ballads. It tells a tale by turns hilarious and heartbreaking, whimsical and wounded, set in a world of pure imagination.
Annex Theatre is a democratic collective of theatre artists dedicated to creating bold new work in an environment of improbability, resourcefulness and risk. Annex Theatre produces new plays by living playwrights, radical reinterpretations of classic scripts, and ensemble-generated non-linear spectacles. Now in its new Capitol Hill venue, Annex originally opened its doors in 1987 in a former dance studio on 4th Avenue in downtown Seattle. Since then the theater has produced hundreds of world and Northwest premieres.
Cast features Wylin Daigle as The Bearded Lady, Steven Gomez as The Tree Man, Christine Longe as The Ringmaster, Naomi Russell as The Hunchback, Francesca Mondelli & Jillian Vashro as The Conjoined Twins, Jenna Bean Veatch as Daffodil, The Jaundiced Girl.
Written, directed, and choreographed by Jenna Bean Veatch, with assistant direction by Juliet Waller-Pruzan and set design by Devin Peterson, the show also features lighting design by Ian Johnston. Stage manager is Blair Feehan, production manager is Grant Knutson.

ScorpionExo is your ideal partner thanks to helmets of absolute quality and a range of motorcycle accessories Our vision more authentic can be told with five simple words: Protection, Aesthetics, Dynamics, Comfort and Innovation. Unlike our other competitors, the entire production and testing are made entirely within our factories
The pump allows the rider to customize the fit of your helmet thanks to the cheek pads mounted on adjustable air cushions, with a sound attenuation complementary. SCORPION EXO!
PINLOCK Maxvision
Perfectly integrated in the visor, the system Pinlock creates an air chamber that prevents watertight - in fact - the formation of condensation and fogging, even if the temperature difference between the outside and the inside of the helmet increases.
Very effective, hypoallergenic, removable, machine washable, as well as sweet and pleasant to the touch, the inner lining of the new range KwickWick2 Scorpion 2011 offers maximum breathability and comfort to the face and head accarezzandovi gently.

Incredibly "smart", the shell made with this technology has the capacity, in case of impact, to deform progressively so as to absorb a greater amount of energy, while maintaining a structure really very durable.
NEW SYSTEM FOR VISOR Ellip-TEC
Inaugurated in 2000 sull'EXO Air, this new technology further enhances the delivery system of the visor, already own all the Scorpion helmets, visor that can be replaced in less than 10 seconds. Conceived in the wind tunnel to minimize the aerodynamic noise at high speeds, with more powerful springs to ensure a fully hermetic tightening and quieter along the line of the seal, Ellip-TEC is demonstrated, in case of fall, much more resistant any other system so as to be able to maintain the visor in its position.
2D visor with provision for Tear-off and Maxvision "ready"
Cheek pads "extractable" made to make it easier to remove the helmet in case of accident
System lock screen: a 3 position lever allows to lock the visor in the closed or slightly open.
Ventilation system: the front air intakes and rear with adjustable aerodynamic front spoiler that reduces the risk of lift, create vacuum and maximize airflow through helmet.
Breath deflector: enhanced anti performances.
Protect-chin: contributes to noise reduction.
Closing the chinstrap by Double D titanium.

The guidebook listed this as 12a/b. I say its fair at 12c, and it seemed notably harder than I remember 40oz to Freedom feeling at the Bingo Baby Wall.
Again, a good endurance oriented route for the grade.

|Brian- Bill Boyle left an undone 12c and trent Baker put in another climb by AMAM that is 12c-ish. Maybe you are mistaking the lines?? . All men felt 12a to me. If I recall there is a dirty pocket that is hard to see that make the crux a v grade easier. And after pulling the crux I was able to get a really good rest so it did not have an endurance factor. Ymmv .....

|I suppose I could have been on the wrong line... but it was certainly the center of the three. The route that I was on pulled the first roof (crux) about 4 feet to the right of the bolted line to its left (what I thought was the unfinished Boyle 12c), and paralleled it on the weird broken face above. At the second roof/tiers the route I was on diverged more to the right and finished much higher up on a large refidgerator like rectangular block with anchor bolts over the lip on the ledge. I also saw Trent Baker's bolted line to the right of the route I was on- it was chalked at the base as 12+ and the hangers are new and shiny. I guess the only question is "is AMAM the left line or the center of the 3?" Starting with the premise that AMAM is the center line...Perhaps our logic could go like this: SMR is fit and found it 12a; Bheller found it 12c; therefore Bheller is not fit...

If I recall (I have not been up there since 2011) it was the middle line. The only reason I commented is that the first 2 times on it I thought it was really hard and then I found this small dirty/mossy hold and cleaned it off. It might be hard to believe, but this one hold made the crux about v2-v3 ish instead of v4ish for me and 12a made sense.
Anyways, I wish the fit logic worked but I am pretty average.
By Darren Knezek

It is the middle line.
The line to the left is the old Boyle line. The line to the right is Trent's line and I was told it was rated 12b in an email.
When I spoke with Bill, he said that when he rated AMAM 12a/b, he felt that the grade was somewhere between the two letters.
I climbed AMAM around 20 years ago with Mike Hunter, Jacinda's husband. I thought it was a stout 12b. Mike hiked it and thought that it was 12a.
Now that we've thoroughly muddied up the grade on AMAM...
What do you guys think the grade is of Too Young To Be Human? :)
By SM Ryan
Apr 23, 2013
rating: 5.12a/b 7b 26 VIII+ 26 E5 6a
Although, I think AMAM is 12a I would not put someone breaking into 12a on this climb. There are other climbs more suitable.
Too Young to be Human- I am short (5'1") so I thought it was closer to 12b. Comparing it to other climbs in the 12a range, it was a harder redpoint for me than Liquid 0, Naked Nebulus, Pig Pen, Isotoaner Moaner, Pocket Debris, Mandala and Step Right Up. And I found it a harder than Beeline (is this still considered a 12b at Billboard??). However, there are some stout 12Bs at Hardrock- Dreadlocks seems really height dependent and Beehive is really hard now that the holds broke at the start.
By Darren Knezek
Apr 23, 2013
|Sweeet!!! I've always thought TYTBH as a 12b. At the moment, off the top of my head, I would say that Beehive is one of the hardest 12b's in the canyon. But for me the honor of the hardest would have to go to Secret Weapon on The Division Wall with Book of Condolences coming in a close second.

Got a new vid up on youtube of my driving form. The main thing i've been focusing on is getting a better reach-back and getting my elbow through further. Looking at this vid, I see i'm still not quite getting to the right pec area, closer to my left pec before releasing my elbow.
I have improved on distance. Went from about 250' tops on the previous video to about 320' max on this one. I suffer from the same problem other have mentioned - throwing it further on the course than in the field, but my typical distance drive on the course is 290-300' now.
Let me know what tips you have at this point, and what things I should focus on now.

Yes it definitely is & I remembered it a couple of hours after posting. Wutai Shan or the Five Peaks mountain is mentioned in some prophecies as becoming important in future. The late Jigmed Phuntsok buried terma there recently, probably some of the many famous miraculous terma he received in Tibet. There are 4 sacred mountains in China proper but 5 Peaks is the most important. I also forgot to say the Bon have 37 major sacred sites & the famous Bon Olmo Lung Ring in the land of Tazigs is the most important & is in fact Shambhala. Shambhala is a bit different to others as it is a power place as well as a society of certain type of sentient beings. In the Himalayas Chatral Rinpoche opened up a couple of remote power place caves accompanied by a group of people years ago. Another important Himalayan region which has quite a few unopened Beyuls apart from Bhutan is the famous remote PemaKo region. There are a lot of power places everywhere in the world which become centers of great good or evil if abused. However the most important power places are the ones in India, Himalayas & Tibet.

In recent years, the world has taken a more progressive stance on matters relating to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
As one of the world's leading container shipping lines, MSC believes the development and application of CSR policies throughout our business is imperative for the future health of our planet and its people.
We recognise the world's oceans, and its creatures, are precious, and must be protected from pollution.
We recognise too, that our transportation business activity has an impact across land as well as sea, and that we must be conscious of that in our planning and progress.
At MSC we are addressing all areas of CSR.
These include:
Of particular focus is MSC's impact on the environment. Although container shipping is the most carbon-friendly means of global trade, we recognise that our vessels each have a significant carbon footprint.
We have already delivered a significant programme of enhancements to reduce these emissions through the implementation of improved hull design, engine innovation and best practice maintenance.
We are also working continuously to limit the risks associated with transporting dangerous cargo.
To ensure the proper and effective management of this important initiative, MSC has developed a central CSR Team, based at its Geneva headquarters.
This team works closely with employees and specialists across the globe, to help us progressively develop and deliver our ever-more ambitious CSR agenda.

Shorn of several regular first teamers with long term injuries, Warlingham were still determined to give a good account of themselves in a howling gale at Deal & Betteshanger.
However, after a 25-3 defeat the Warl remain fourth from bottom.
Head coach Ben Stobart was pressed into donning the number four shirt and acquitted himself with aplomb during his 30 minutes on the pitch, especially with his deft reverse passes from the touchline.
Warlingham started well with early territorial pressure earning them a kickable penalty.
But the elements spoiled the opportunity and the score remained pointless.
Deal's backline looked sharp and their first try came from some swift handling in the foul conditions.
A blatant crossing and obstruction was missed by the referee and Deal put seven points on the board.
Captain Zack King was his usual galloping self supported by Mikal Ahola and stand-in scrum half Alex Skinner.
Front rowers Kieran Scutt, Alex Nunn and Ant Abou-Zeid tackled their hearts out to keep the game winnable and young Adam Downie-Keene threatened on the wing.
Newly signed flanker, 'A J' Hemsley made his mark by folding the Deal number 10 in half with a ramrod tackle stopping the game for several minutes while the Deal medics brought the fly half back into the land of the living.
Warlingham spent long periods of play in the Deal 22 with their trademark pick 'n' go style, but the home side's defence held.
When Deal attacked the Warlingham line virtually all their players joined a ruck to drive over for the second, unconverted, try.
With the gale driving across the pitch the turn round made little difference for advantage and Deal slotted two well-struck penalties and Warlingham were into catch-up rugby and a Joe McEvoy penalty got them on the scoreboard.
Substitutes Ben Freeman, Ben Wiseman and Lewis Beake came on to add new legs to the Warlingham cause but Deal's pack snuffed out the visitor's attacks.
Deal's forward power just overwhelmed Warlingham in the final stages and their third converted try.
Warlingham Chairman Peter Wrightson said:"All the younger players gave their all, despite the conditions and they did us proud.
"We knew it would be difficult for us today but they stuck to their job throughout the game."
Warlingham's next game is at home against Sevenoaks on February 8.
Warlingham: Atkinson, Abou-Zeid, Ahola, Beake, Boufaied, Davies, Downie-Kenne, Freeman, Kenny, King, McEvoy, A Nunn, Saffery, Scutt, A Skinner, Stobart, Wiseman, Hemsley.

Astros' comeback bid falls short in Chicago
Springer homers, Altuve drives in pair; Keuchel struggles through five
CHICAGO -- The Astros fell victim to another game-winning, RBI double by White Sox catcher and nine-hole batter Tyler Flowers in Saturday night's 4-3 loss at U.S. Cellular Field.
Flowers, who knocked in the third run in Houston's 3-2 loss on Friday, snapped a 3-3 tie with a fifth-inning double that Chicago rode to victory after another formidable performance from its oft-struggling bullpen.
From the other side, Dallas Keuchel had trouble cooling the hot White Sox offense, which scattered 12 hits over 39 batters. The high mark was the second time in three starts the Astros' top pitcher allowed double-digit hits, dating back to a July 4 loss to the Angels.
"You look at the hits that they were able to get, it was a credit to them," Astros manager Bo Porter said. "But at the same time, they were quality pitches, they just didn't end up finding holes."
Keuchel, who entered Friday's game 7-2 on the road, finished with four runs (three earned), five strikeouts and two walks over 103 pitches (65 strikes) in five innings.
"Starter-wise, you like to settle in the first couple batters, but you kind of got to go into conservative mode," Keuchel said. "You don't want to let any unnecessary runs in."
Houston cut its strikeout mark in half from Friday, but still fanned seven times, including five in the final three innings and back-to-back whiffs from the top of the order to end the game with runners on first and second.
"We had the guys up there that we would want up there, and were just not able to come up with the big hit," Porter said.
One of those batters was the team's lone All-Star, second baseman Jose Altuve, who struck out for the fourth and fifth time this series in nine at-bats.
The MLB hits leader tied the game at 3 in the fifth with a double that brought home Enrique Hernandez and Marwin Gonzalez, who had back-to-back base hits and advanced on a wild pitch by White Sox starter Hector Noesi. Altuve was stranded at second after consecutive outs by Jason Castro and Springer.
With his parents in attendance from Connecticut, Springer sent his 20th home run of the season 415 feet into the right-field bleachers on a 1-2 slider with no outs in the fourth to score the Astros' first run.
The White Sox took the first lead with the help of an error by third baseman Matt Dominguez, who overthrew first on a routine groundout by Adam Eaton that advanced the two runners, including Alejandro De Aza, who scored from second.
Chicago was again aided by the Astros when Keuchel hit Flowers with the bases loaded in the third, three at-bats after Conor Gillaspie brought home Dayan Viciedo on an RBI single to center.
Reliever Ronald Belisario got the White Sox out of a seventh-inning jam after Gonzalez moved runners into scoring position with one out on a sacrifice bunt. Belisario struck out the next batter, Altuve, loaded the bases with an intentional walk to Castro, then got Springer to ground out to third.
Keuchel's ERA elevated to 3.29, which drops to second among Astros starters behind the injured Collin McHugh (3.28).
Houston heads into Sunday's series finale having lost 11 of its last 15.
When asked if the team is still shaking off rust from the four-day hiatus earlier this week, Porter said: "Every team in baseball had the same All-Star break. It's part of it. All-Star break is over. It's time to play baseball."

We already have Paul George on the roster. We have the superstar that most lottery teams are looking for. If we surround this superstar with quality teammates then we're always going to be a contender or a dark horse at least.
The only way for us to become a fringe team is to blow up this core in an attempt to tank and get unlucky in the lottery. If we do this and surround PG with rookies and minimum contract guys then yes we could become a fringe team. If that happens then there's no guarantee that Paul George would want to be here anymore. Needless to say, if we lose Paul George because we tried to "retool" and got unlucky with the ping pong balls we're going to be a bottom feeder for years.
Look, I understand the "I'd rather have a few bad years to create better ones" mantra. But can anyone guarantee that this is going to happen? Minessota has been in the lottery since 2004 and now they're losing their 2 superstar because of that.

Sydney Alumni Magazine, fondly known as SAM, has been published for more than 60 years, and while the format has changed, one thing remains constant: the magazine keeps our alumni connected with us and each other.
Published twice a year, SAM is our premium print magazine which shares the compelling stories of our alumni.
It is supported by SAM Extra, our digital monthly newsletter, which features news, events and other information to keep you up to date with what's going on in our alumni community.
New research into the human gut and its trillions of inhabitants could undo some of the confusion around healthy eating and address a surprising range of the modern world's most difficult medical conditions.
A tsunami of change is already arriving. Artificial intelligence is now capable of doing desk jobs that were previously safe from automation. The social and economic effects remain to be seen, but is AI what we think it is?

Romania Trips
Romania, dark and mysterious, never fails to spark the imagination. This is the land of Vlad the Impaler, better known as Dracula, a 16th century Wallachian prince immortalised by the author Bram Stoker. Although there is no evidence to suggest the prince sported fangs or drank human blood, he did have a grisly habit of impaling his enemies on spikes, especially Ottoman Turks.
Despite Stoker's historical infidelities, Romania has entered collective folklore as a place populated by supernatural beings – a notion that continues to be held by many Romanians themselves. Steeped in archaic traditions and shadowy superstitions, Romania's vivid mythological heritage includes a cavalcade of weird creatures such as vampires, werewolves, shape-shifting sorcerers and indestructible old hags, who, according to some, still roam the countryside.Read more
Most Romanians, who speak a Romance language closely related to Latin, identify with the ancient Romans, who subjugated the region in the 2nd century. But the age of Roman governance represents a relatively brief episode of cultural coherence and homogeneity and after its collapse the region was settled by waves of invading Goths, Huns, Avars, Bulgars and Slavs. As a territory, the Kingdom of Romania was not established until the late 19th century, when the region's network of disparate and relatively isolated political enclaves were finally united as one.
Today, rural Romania is a land punctuated with brooding gothic spires and fairy tale castles. Its lost-in-time villages continue to adhere to the old ways. Epic fables, poems and songs, invariably accompanied by wildly cavorting music and dance, are the staple of traditional Romanian folk culture. Generations of artisans, like their forebears, continue to produce fine textiles, ceramics, woodwork, leather and painted eggs; symbols of rebirth and the thaw of spring, as much as the resurrection of Christ.
Romania's natural heritage has been astonishingly well-preserved too. The Carpathian Mountains traverse the heart of the country in a formidable arc of jagged peaks, impassable ridges, vertiginous gorges and caves, whilst half of the nation's forests have been retained as part of its watershed. Romania is now home to one of the largest areas of ancient and undisturbed forests in Europe, not to mention significant populations of bears and wolves. On the Black Sea coast, the Danube River concludes its journey by splitting into a maze of bucolic waterways and teeming marshes, home to some 300 bird species.
Places of interest in Romania
Built by industrious Saxons, who were invited from Western Europe to develop Transylvania's towns and mines, Brasov...
Bucharest is the capital of Romania, a sprawling urban powerhouse that encapsulates the best and worst of the nation....
As the setting for Bram Stoker's 19th century novel 'Dracula', Transylvania is often wrongly associated...

text: Utah's gymnastics team was just a few routines away from winning the program's first Pac-12 title. Instead, the Utes fell to third. Three routines with major breaks on the balance beam dropped the Utes from first to third as home team Oregon State surged to the win with a 197.85 while UCLA was second (197.375) followed by Utah (197.075) and Stanford (196.625). Earlier in the day, Washington had the high score in the afternoon session with a 195.875 followed by Arizona (195.525), Cal (195.075) and Arizona State (193.425). Utah coach Greg Marsden said he knew balance beam was going to be Utah's weak event this year. His concerns have come to life in inconsistency. Some weeks the Utes roll on the event in others, well, they stumble as they did Saturday. Utah's beam score of 48.825 was the first time the Utes were below the 49 mark in seven meets. "It is too bad," he said. "It is hard to close out on that event and at times we have been able to do that this year, but not tonight," he said. "We were competing to stay on the beam. It is hard to be upset because we didn't count a fall, but we did everything but fall in some of the routines. We had some little hops on bars too but those were little things." Utah's Lia Del Priore admitted it was hard for the Utes to maintain their focus in the final events, particularly since the format of competing one gymnast at a time made it easy to see the scores. "It was definitely good and bad," she said. "We try not to pay attention to the scores but when they are right there it's hard not to. We didn't handle beam well, but it was still a good score." Just not good enough.The Utes find out on Monday where they will go for the NCAA Regional Championships. - Lya Wodraska

Hmmm. That could add up to quite an expense for some families. What's next? Knock down the headstones, dig up the bodies/coffins and pop them into a mass grave? Weird. There must be a better solution to this issue...

Building upon Craig Manson's Names, Places & Most Wanted Faces meme over at Geneablogie, and in an effort to get more geneabloggers to use Twitter, I am starting a new meme called Surname Saturday.
First, you must be a Twitter user to participate. If you need more information on how Twitter can help genealogists, read my recent article over at the Examiner. And then download the Twitter Quick Reference card which will help walk you through account setup and explain various concepts.
Second, I have set up a new group over at Twitter Groups called Genealogy Surnames. Using the #surname hashtag (a hashtag tells other Twitter users the subject of your message), it will allow people to join the group and understand how to advertise your surnames on Twitter.
Third, using the #surname hashtag allows you to go to Twitter Search and use it as a search criteria.
Finally, simply tweet about the surnames you are working on so other genealogists on Twitter can see them. And who knows you may be able to break down that brick wall after all. At the very least, you'll get to meet some wonderful genealogists!

My .htaccess doesn't work fine, only work three rules from four.
RewriteEngine OnRewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^prensa$ /prensa.php?seo=prensa [L]RewriteRule ^/?$ /index.php [L]RewriteRule ^noticias$ /prensa.php?seo=noticiasRewriteRule ^([^\.\?/]+)?$ /pagina.php?seo=$1 [L]
For example:
when I write www.myweb.com/bodas work well and get www.myweb.com/pagina.php?seo=boda
the same with www.myweb.com/noticias www.myweb.com/prensa.php?seo=noticias
but when I write www.myweb.com/prensa I get www.myweb.com/prensa.php, I dont return the right solution. Why?
I read http://datakoncepts.com/seo but I dont know my htaccess works so bad.
Three for four isn't a bad average! Take heart in that.
I'm definitely not fond of the RewriteBase directive as that generally causes more problems than it resolves but your first three cases are good.
RewriteRule ^([^\\.\\?/]+)?$ /pagina.php?seo=$1 [L]
Here you've begun the character range definition by escaping the dot character (which is NOT required in a character range definition) then by escaping a ?. Unfortunately (and the reason it's not working for you), the ? is a reserved character (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2396.txt) which cannot be within a {REQUEST_URI} string (you may be able to encode it but I'd have to check the link above to verify that) because it's the demarcation character defining the end of the {REQUEST_URI} string and the start of the {QUERY_STRING}. Of course, if you need to access the query string in mod_rewrite, you must do so with a RewriteCond statement.
So, other than not understanding the allowed content of URIs, I'd say that you've done very well.
Thanks dklynn,
I understand and I change. My case is so strange because if I change the first rule for this:
RewriteRule ^Prensa$ /prensa.php?seo=prensa [L]
If I change prensa for Prensa all is right, why?
I feel like there must be more to this htaccess than what we're seeing, because as is, it looks like it should work correctly.
My case is so strange because if I change the first rule for this:
Does your URL in the address bar have a capital P?
I'm doing a cms and I can change de url in the admin so I can put any word in the url. I dont understand what is the problem.
Jeff simply didn't read the character definition in your code correctly. Saying that, I'm sure that he does know that RewriteRules cannot examine the query string AND that the question mark is a reserved character (which should only be in a URL to separate the URI from the query string).
It makes no matter whether you want to match the P or p so long as you are consistent. If you want to match both, use
RewriteRule ^P|prensa$ /prensa.php?seo=prensa [L]
With the OR bar between the P and p, the regex will match both Prensa and prensa (if the only content of the URI string).
Actually I read the character definition just fine. Matching on non-question mark characters isn't causing any issues. It may be unnecessary, but it's not problematic.
Furthermore, the OP's issue isn't related to the forth rewrite rule, but the first. As the OP described, prensa is supposed to rewrite to /prensa.php?seo=prensa, but instead it's rewriting to just /prensa.php. I reiterate that I don't see anything in this htaccess that explains this behavior, nor do I see anything that explains why using a capital "P" in the URL would make it work. And so I still believe that there must be more to this htaccess than what we've seen.
I promise that I worte all the .htaccess. About capital letter is so strange but work.
I have another doubt how to use ExpiresActive in my htcaccess i put:
<IfModule mod_expires.c> # Enable expirations. ExpiresActive On ExpiresDefault A3600 <filesmatch ".(jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|css|ico|js)$"> ExpiresDefault "access plus 7 day" </filesmatch></IfModule>
RewriteRule ^P|prensa$ /prensa.php?seo=prensa [L]RewriteRule ^/?$ /index.php [L]RewriteRule ^noticias$ /prensa.php?seo=noticiasRewriteRule ^([^\.\?/]+)?$ /pagina.php?seo=$1 [L]
Don't work, when I try to access, return and error 500 internal server error. I use phpinfo() to know if the module mod_expires.c and I think that yes Thanks.
I dont know why but the error appears when I write anything in the if sentence
<IfModule mod_expires.c> # Enable expirations.
<filesmatch ".(jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|css|ico|js)$">
If I put this I have no errors.
[standard rant #4][indent]The definition of an idiot is someone who repeatedly does the same thing expecting a different result. Asking Apache to confirm the existence of ANY module with an <IfModule> ... </IfModule> wrapper is the same thing in the webmaster world. DON'T BE AN IDIOT! If you don't know whether a module is enabled, run the test ONCE then REMOVE the wrapper as it is EXTREMELY wasteful of Apache's resources (and should NEVER be allowed on a shared server).[/indent][/standard rant #4]
Okay, that's NOT to call you an idiot, it's simply to remind you in the clearest terms possible that any webmaster would only run ONE server test, not repeat server tests multiple times for EVERY request!
You also need to learn which characters are considered metacharacters with a character range definition as it seems that you've gone "escape crazy" by escaping every character (none of which needs escaped except the ? which should not be there in the first place).
You might benefit from reading the mod_rewrite tutorial linked in my signature as it contains explanations and sample code. It's helped may members and should help you, too.
Obligatory note:
Unfortunately anyone who learns from this tutorial will have to unlearn some incorrect information later on. I strongly recommend that anyone who's interested in this topic go straight to the definitive source for the most complete, authoritative, and correct information.
Sorry, I'd have to give the same advice to others about your insistence on using (.*) inappropriately (among other things you've come up with).
As for going straight to Apache.org, I agree. However, their documentation is too "geeky" for most so my tutorial was written to make life easier for SitePoint members ... and has received high praise from everyone (other than you - your comment is the first of its nature in the 5+ years it's been online).
Take all advice here with a grain of salt, i.e., consider the source.
My "insistence" on using .* comes straight from the Apache documentation. They use it in the same way I do.
Unfortunately your tutorial, in a number of places, contradicts the documentation, and it contradicts observable behavior in Apache.
/x.php exists, and a RewriteRule to from /x to /x.php doesn't work. Hmm, that rings a bell.
DK, we've seen this bugger before quite a few times, you should recognize the smell of this stinky old friend by now.
@monchyrcg; start your .htacces with
Options -MultiViews
and everythig will work as planned.
Seriously, I still don't understand why that option even exists in Apache, let alone why someone would turn it on :nono:
Ahh, yes! I think that would explain all the strangness we've been seeing.
Good catch! MultiViews is one of those hidden traps that people can find themselves buried in and I agree that there is no logical reason to ever have it enabled.

Buchholz focuses on process, not numbers
FORT MYERS, Fla. -- Clay Buchholz, who made his first outing of Spring Training on Saturday, vowed not to judge his upcoming season by statistics.
Perhaps Buchholz put too much pressure on himself last season, when he got off to a nightmarish start that snowballed. In his first nine starts of 2012, Buchholz had a 7.84 ERA. For the rest of the season, his ERA was 3.41. The final numbers? An 11-8 record with a 4.56 ERA.
"Just pitching as far as being evaluated, it's all numbers," said Buchholz. "For the most part, it's hard to control any of those numbers. You can't really control your ERA; you can't control the errors behind you or the home runs that you give up or wins and losses, for that fact. But if I'm going to go deep into games and keep the team in the game every time I'm able to go out there, I think that alone will take care of everything. Then the numbers will come, if you do all the little things right that you need to do."
On Saturday, Buchholz went 1 1/3 innings, reaching his pitch limit of 40. He gave up a hit and two walks while striking out two.
Buchholz's first start of the spring was delayed because of a minor right hamstring injury earlier in camp.
"He used all his pitches," said Red Sox manager John Farrell. "He likes to pitch with a constant mix. I think with repetition, sharpness will come. No ill effects with the hamstring. It was a good day of work."

Imagine the visual poetry of viewing a colorful line of sculptures parallel to Los Altos Hills Town Hall while driving or walking along Fremont Road. If donors come forward, modern art may soon take root near the gravel trails and electric-vehicle charging stations that are a staple in the rural community.
"Not everybody is going to like everything, but we guarantee that it will be interesting," said Karen Druker, chairwoman of the town's new Art in Public Places Committee.
Along with six other committee members who have agreed to serve as ambassadors of the arts, Druker is sounding the call for donors.
When a donor inquired how he or she could bequeath art to the town last spring, the question stumped the city council, leading to the formation of a committee dedicated to developing a workable process for handling bequests. Since officially convening in August, the committee has scouted potential sites for sculptures at the town hall campus, Westwind Community Barn and Edith Park and developed a book of prospective art, available for viewing at the Los Altos Hills Town Hall reception desk, 26379 W. Fremont Road.
"We're trying to expedite the process," said Art in Public Places Committee member Gail Solomon of the reference book highlighting sculptures that reflect site-specific scale and characteristics. "This is a starting point to kick-start our campaign."
One anonymous donor has already expressed interest in commissioning a $10,000 abstract sculpture series for placement near the large oak tree at town hall. If the donor's impending contract with the artist for the commission moves forward without delay and the council accepts the donation, Los Altos Hills' first piece of public art could be installed in the spring.
Druker noted that there are many reasons a resident may want to donate public art, including immortalizing a family's involvement in the town or memorializing someone who has passed away. With a price tag between $3,000 and $50,000 for each site-specific sculpture, individuals as well as groups of donors are invited to contribute.
The committee is exploring fundraising options that would enable residents to make smaller contributions toward a sculpture or perhaps a sculpture garden. The donor-funded serpentine seating wall at town hall is an example of how the community has embraced the idea of funding public art in the past.
"The results will speak for themselves," said Solomon of the public sculpture program. "If we have a successful launch, it sort of carries on on its own feet."
For more information, call Druker at 941-8073 or 941-7222.

Mo Isom raised a lot of eyebrows as she tried to make LSU's football team as a kicker. Though the former Tigers soccer goalie and homecoming queen fell short of that goal last month during tryouts, her dream isn't over yet. She'll have a chance to make the team in the fall.
The rarity of a female making it on a men's team wasn't lost on comedian and talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who had Isom on her "Ellen" show earlier this week to talk about her experience.
More: Isom's story one of hope
"The guys took me under their wing right away," Isom told DeGeneres. "It's like next level when you're around that much testosterone. So it smells terrible, the things I hear I can't even wrap my head around, but it's so much fun. It's just a whole another level of intensity that brings out the best in athletes."
Isom also addressed the car accident that left her near death, and pictures of the wreck were shown along with a hospitalized Isom. Clearly, she was lucky to be alive after her Jeep was found upside down.
She told DeGeneres she lives by an inspiring motto, one that certainly fits her quest to play with the boys: "The only thing more dangerous than allowing others to put limitations on what you can achieve is allowing yourself to believe them."

Topic: Clinical Trial at National Institute of Health
It has been a very long time since I have posted to this site. I was diagnosed with Intrahepatic CC on 12-1-99. I had a 2/3rds liver resection only to find mets to my lungs 3 months post surgery. I have done chemo for past 2 yrs. Started with Gem/Cis combo which was very toxic to me, tried Gem alone with no success and then did Avastin until the toxicity build up again. I have numerous mets to my lungs and about 6 or so 3-6cm tumors on my liver again.
I have always kept my eyes open for clinical trials but found it very hard to get excited over more chemo. I believe that my discovering this trial at National Institue of Health was meant to be. It is called the GI-TIL trial. It is a tumor infiltrating lymphocyte immunotherapy trial. They have been using it successfully for melanoma for quite some time and have just recently opened it up for GI cancers. I am the 9th person to try it, but the first with CC. The first 8 people were unsuccessful.
I met with the research team in March and was accepted into this trial. There is certain criteria and I can't remember all of it, but you had to have been off chemo for a month and are showing signs of progression. The information is online and you can call a nurse specialist to get all the details.
My husband and I returned to Bethesda, MD about 2 weeks later and I had 4 tumors from my left lung removed. The docs then take the lymphocytes from these tumors and grow them in a lab for about 30 days. We then returned again for a 3 week hospital stay. The first week they give you 2 chemo drugs, not to treat the cancer but to suppress your immune system. The first drug was rough and the second was not as bad. The second week they infused 42.6 billion of my lymphocytes they had grown back into me!! They also give you a drug called IL2 at the same time for up to 15 doses or as many as you can handle. I only made it to 4 doses. The 3rd week was recovering my blood counts enough to go home.
I just had my 3rd monthly checkup and I have had a total of 23% overall shrinkage since this treatment. They consider 30% successful, so I am hoping to hit that mark next month! This is a one time treatment, and all I know is everyday that I don't have to do chemo is a GREAT day!
I have been leary to share with you all in case it didn't work, but then I thought it was worth sharing and let you all check into it as you seem fit.
I am almost 44 yrs old, married and have 6 children. It was worth it for me to try this treatment. The 3 weeks in the hospital was hard, but about a week or so after I got home, I started to feel better than I had in years. A chronic cough I had disappeared, my energy level increased drastically and overall just better.
We live in Montana and the good thing about this trial is that it is a Federally funded trial so they paid for all the medical costs plus my travel airfare and give you $50/day towards expenses, which doesn't cover much in that area, but was better than nothing. I also have a brother that lives 30 miles from the hospital so it all worked out well for us.
I just thought you should all know about it.....God Bless!!

The home side got back to winning ways against the below-par Romanians, who failed to test the defence which has irked manager Jose Mourinho in recent matches
Despite suffering a second defeat to Basel on matchday five, Jose Mourinho's men were already assured of a place in the last 16 and had little trouble in seeing off limited opposition on Wednesday.
|By Tom Doyle
That result is what Jose Mourinho will have wanted tonight, but Chelsea made hard work of what should have been a routine thumping.
Willian and Oscar dazzled in doses, while Demba Ba's wastefulness in front of goal won't ensure him a starting role, despite nabbing the winner.
While the Blues kept a clean sheet on 41-year-old Mark Schwarzer's Champions League debut, the partnership of John Terry and David Luiz still looked shaky at times, leaving Mourinho with questions about his back line for the knockout stages.
Demba Ba's 10th-minute strike from a Willian corner surprisingly proved the only goal as Chelsea demonstrated little desire to move in for the kill thereafter.
Gabriel Iancu spurned a golden opportunity for the visitors three minutes after Ba's opener, but Steaua were generally kept at bay with a degree of comfort.
In failing to record victory for a 23rd Champions League game in succession, the Romanian outfit set a new record for the longest winless run in the competition.
Their European campaign is over for another season, while Chelsea will be aware far sterner tests await when the knockout stages commence in the new year.
Veteran Chelsea goalkeeper Mark Schwarzer replaced the rested Petr Cech to become the Champions League's oldest debutant – and second-oldest player – at the age of 41 years and 66 days.
Mourinho also recalled Ashley Cole for his first club start since November 2, while David Luiz and Oscar returned from injury against a Steaua side missing suspended captain Alexandru Bourceanu.
Luiz and Oscar each went close before Chelsea took the lead.
A right-wing corner from Willian was flicked on by Oscar and Ba bundled the ball home as Daniel Georgievski attempted to clear.
Iancu should have levelled three minutes later, only to drag his shot wide after being put through one-on-one with Schwarzer.
There was little else to concern a dominant home side, who came close to scoring again when Ciprian Tatarusanu made a point-blank save to keep out Branislav Ivanovic's 27th-minute header.
Steaua's Pantelis Kapetanos and Chelsea midfielder Lampard missed the target with long-range efforts prior to the interval, while an ambitious effort from Cole brought a comfortable save from Tatarusanu.
A delightful Willian cross left Ba with a seemingly simple tap-in eight minutes into the second period, but the Senegalese forward clumsily cleared the crossbar with his finish.
Chelsea appeared content to operate at virtual walking pace thereafter, although another opportunity went begging in the 71st minute when Eden Hazard headed over following good work from substitute Andre Schurrle.
While entertainment may have been in short supply as the game meandered towards its conclusion, Mourinho will doubtless have been pleased to see his side keep a clean sheet after conceding three in each of their last two domestic fixtures.

Anyways I've been working on my bag for a while and here's what I've got so far:
2x Wizards 175 - Putting
2x Vibram VPs 175 - Driving Putters
1x Champion Viper 180 - Trick disc, very useful in the woods, underrated disc for sure
3x DX Rocs 180 - New to Beat
3x DX Teebirds 175 - New to Beat
2x Champion Firebirds 11x 175 - Thumbers, headwinds, sidearms
2x S-line PDs 175 - Distance
1x C-line PD 175 - Windy Distance
1x Echo Boss 175 - Low ceilings.
I don't really like to use Wizards for driving because they are hard to come by in my area and all the ones I find are soft, so that's why I use the VPs. I do feel that I'm missing a turnover/understable driver that are longer than my teebirds. I am a RHBH thrower who can throw about 400ft on a golf line (320ft sidearm) if that information helps. So does it look like I've got all my shots covered?

Ah, that little orange light on the dashboard – we all know what it is… and 99 44/100th percent of the time, we don't like it! We feel we can honestly say, that we've all been there – you're driving along and all of a sudden, "bing", the check engine light comes on. The problem is, you really have no idea exactly what the light is trying to tell you. It could be anything from a loose gas cap, a failing O2 sensor, a misfiring engine or who knows what else.
"Alright", you think, "now what"? While we can't give you a crystal ball and tell you what is wrong with the vehicle, we can give you some tips on how to handle the situation better. First of all, you do not have to immediately pull over and have the vehicle towed, even if the light is flashing or blinking. Ignore the light, however, you will run the risk of doing some sort of damage which may result in a larger repair bill than you could have originally. The "check engine" light is part of your car's onboard diagnostics (OBD) system. Depending on year, make and model, there could be well over 100 sensors on your vehicle! They're in the engine, the transmission, the exhaust system, the fuel tank, and even on the exterior of the vehicle. However, most of the sensors have one common thread – when it finds a problem in the electronic-control system that it can't correct, the vehicle's computer turns on the yellow warning light.
If the check engine light comes on & stays solid, that means that you should have your vehicle checked soon, say within a week, because it signifies a less serious, but still an attention requiring situation. If the light comes on & flashes, you should have it looked at immediately or at the very least as soon as possible; and we don't mean within a few days. This is because the system is telling you there is a more serious problem with the vehicle. Again, these are merely guidelines. Any time the check engine light comes on, you should have it looked at and serviced properly. As always, the service department at Varney Value can help you out with any questions or concerns – not only with check engine diagnosis, but bumper to bumper service on your vehicle!

Beginning Saturday, and continuing through Oct. 14, Davis will join with other congregation members, staff, special guests and visitors in a weeklong celebration of First Assembly's 75 years of ministry in Fort Wayne.
The congregation will welcome Gordon Anderson, president of North Central University in Minneapolis; the Rev. John Kilpatrick; and evangelist Michael Livengood, along with former pastors and church members to commemorate "Living the Legacy."
"The first weekend, we will celebrate our past by honoring current and past senior pastoral leaders," says Bob Parrent, the church's fine arts pastor, who will oversee the creative elements of music, drama and video production that will enhance the services. "The second weekend will be a series of revival services with John Kilpatrick."The Pentecostal movement was born in Los Angeles in 1906 during a revival on Azusa Street. By 1930, the movement had migrated eastward, and Jesse and Alice Funderberg established Trinity Pentecostal Assembly during prayer services in their Fort Wayne home. Within two years, they merged with another group, forming First Pentecostal Tabernacle on South Calhoun Street.
In 1937, the church transitioned to affiliation with the National Organization of the Assemblies of God, a cooperative fellowship of Pentecostal churches, says current Senior Pastor the Rev. Ron Hawkins. Membership in the organization facilitated a coherent doctrinal stance, encouraged cooperative missions outreach and established institutions of higher education to train church leadership.
Despite the difficulties and deprivations of the Great Depression, the small congregation flourished, outgrowing several locations before moving to a newly constructed building on Coliseum Boulevard East in July 1980.
By 2007, the church relocated to the former Calvary Temple building on West Washington Center Road, a move that increased ministry opportunities for the nearly 2,000 people attending services and activities."Pentecostals believe that every gift of God demonstrated in the New Testament — such as healing of sickness, casting out of demons, speaking in languages that are unlearned and giving words of knowledge or ... wisdom prompted by the Holy Spirit — are still active and should be evidenced in the church today," explains Hawkins, who has served as senior pastor since 1991.
"We encourage every expression of worship or gift to be absolutely based on the objective Word of God," he continues, "and every experience must reflect Christ, his nature and his character as revealed in the Bible. We also believe that explaining all expressions is essential."
"The church's mission statement is 'Lifting people through the power of the cross,'" says Davis, a grandmother of eight and a Detroit native who began attending First Assembly as a teen. "You will find First Assembly engaging in loving worship toward God with efforts to touch hearts ... and to know the presence of God."
"We believe that our church exists to lift people to their fullest potential in life," adds Hawkins, "and that full potential begins in a restored relationship with God ... through Jesus Christ, his death and resurrection, and the deliverance that he brings to us."First Assembly ministers through traditional channels of worship, fine arts, small groups, youth and children's ministries, and community outreach. The church's influence is felt beyond its walls, however, as members reach out to international immigrants and students, those with disabilities, and those in need of counseling, care and encouragement. They support five international congregations, including Burmese, Chinese and Hispanic ethnicities.
"We are a multigenerational church reaching to as many strata of our region as possible," says Hawkins. "We live in a growing and diverse community and believe the church is to impact every aspect of our community and culture."
"Discipleship and evangelism are the core of (our) vision," says Davis. "People are engaged in small groups (and) there are special times of ... intercessory prayer — reaching out to God for all bodies of Christ, our city, our region and our world.While the opening weekend of Living the Legacy will honor those who contributed to the church's growth and outreach, the closing weekend will look to the future.
Kilpatrick, known for oversight of the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Fla., and Livengood will cap the celebration with a revival weekend, "Re-digging the Wells of Azusa Street."
"Michael Livengood is an evangelist but has also been called a prophetic revivalist," says Hawkins, "opening the door ... to the tangible sense of the manifest presence of God."
"We are specifically praying for a fresh outpouring of God's Spirit on our church," he says, "thus, the designation of 're-digging the wells of Azusa Street,' where a nondescript mission in Los Angeles gave visibility to the emerging Pentecostal movement."
