|This is an aesthetic and fun route with great position. Bring a 60-meter rope; the rappel from the top of the first pitch is almost 100 feet long. I used a red and yellow Alien and a #2 Camalot for pro on both pitches; next time I'll leave all my other pro behind. Bring two or three runners that you can extend for some of the gear placements. There are seven bolts on the first pitch and four bolts on the second pitch. Both pitches had delicate face move cruxes that felt about 9+ or 10a. I thought the climbing was a bit easier than on Gish, a new 10a route on Bell Buttress/Aquarium Wall.

Superb. Luckily the approach is complex, which might keep the riffraff away. The route climbs nicely with Ron's suggested three cams (#2 Camalot, red and yellow Aliens), but bear in mind that finger sized wires will go in all over the place, and there are even some nice spikes to sling for you purists.
Go do this route! No, stay away!

|What a good route***

The route was pretty good. I don't know that it was an instant classic, but it was worthy for sure. It was mostly 5.6 to 5.7 climbing with short sections of harder climbing, all of which were well protected. Two moves were 5.9 or harder. Jenny thought it was easy for 5.9 (suggested 5.9-) and she's a 5.10 climber, so this should be in her range of good sensitivity.There is still a few gritty holds near the base that turned loose some crystals when I shifted my feet on them, but these will clean up with time.
I think it was best done by doing it as a single pitch (11 slings on bolts, +2 nuts with slings). It seems like you can rap off of it with a 50m by rapping to the first belay, then rapping to the top of the slabby face route left of the Bihedral (Rhodian Shores) then to the ground.
The first belay anchor is placed ideally on its own merit, but its presence was preceded by the route "Crack variation" of the bihedral, a route that is admittedly not very good and almost never climbed. Still, it makes me wonder if placing the belay slightly elsewhere would have been more preserving of the lines previously there. More something to think about than it is a complaint.

Good route. Note, you won't get from the P1 anchor to the ground with 50m rope. P1 is about 130 ft. P2 is short but slightly harder, 60 ft? A blue or green Alien might be useful between bolts 3 & 4 (tho' could be 2 & 3) on P2. New fangled hangers on many of the bolts.
Nice but agree with T. Bubb, not an instant classic.
Again, agree with T. Bubb, but my partner, Brian, thought it was 5.9.

|Nice route. Surprising that this line didn't go up when the area was first being developed. With a little more traffic (read: cleaning) this will surely be a sought after climb. Great position and views.

|Climbed this on 6/8/03 and really enjoyed it. Pulled of a bit of loose rock at start, but overall it was clean and well protected with great position. Had the whole rock to ourselves. I've climbed in Boulder Canyon for almost 20 years, and I have to say that this is definitely one of the best lines of this grade in the canyon. Kudos to the 1st ascentionists.

|Two ways to start this route, both pretty simple. Yard directly up from below the front face to a clip 20' up or so. Or start on the shallow inside corner, climbing up about 15' and steping over the arete to the clip. I did it from the front, my partner lead and started from the inside corner. First pitch felt (7+)ish to me with good exposure, maybe one (8) move half way up moving off the arete. Nice pitch of interesting climbing if you stay close to the arete. IMO climbing in the middle or right side looked much easier and degrades the quality. On P2 climb 20' of (6)ish to a roomy corner ledge, and the fun starts from here. Ascend off the arete onto the face using the inside of the arete, small crimpers, and a thin seam for three clips of excellent face climbing. IMHO this felt hard 9 to me. The crux on its neighbor, Rhodian Shores, felt harder. But I enjoyed it, and its three stars in my book.

Good route and good boting ethics (not bolting where there is gear placements). Wish I had something bigger than a #3 TCU for the first pitch. A #3 Camalot would have been nice between the last bolt getting up to the P1 anchors. A few loose holds still on P1. Best option for rappelling is to rap from the top of P2 to the anchors on the bolted face to the left of the Bihedral; makes for a clean pull and plenty of rope to get down.
Great position and solid movement above your gear.
Slabby arete moves on P2 are tricky, but all there and well protected.

|I also thought that Rhodian Shores was a bit tougher than Bihedral Arete. Very high quality though, and well worth the scramble up to the start.

|Unlike the above commments, I found this route to be a little tricky. I'd agree 9+ or 10-, slab climbing isn't my forte, and maybe I was having an off day. Nicely exposed, interesting, and I'm happy someone bolted a route leaving the places with gear for gear. Comapred to other boulder canyon 5.9 sport routes, this one seemed to be rated more like an old trad route, i.e not a gimmie for the grade, like, for example, 'pup' on neighbooring Security Risk......

|Did this route yesterday under light snowfall, fun route! We used a few wires, Aliens and the #2 Camalot. There are a couple of loose blocks that are not obvious, and probably wouldn't come off even if you yarded on them, but who knows? Amazing that this cool route was not discovered earlier.

rating: 5.10a 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a
Climbed this early yesterday amid intermitent periods of sun and snow showers.
What a great climb this is indeed.
Lose rock alert:
There is a large flake 1x3 feet to the right and up from the last bolt of the first pitch that is ready to come off.
As you reach the last bolt and you head up the easier broken section on the right, the first large handhold you reach is the top of the loose flake.
I pulled on it yesterday and it pulled out while making that grainy "rock-detaching-itself-from-the-wall-sound". I pushed it back in but it is way lose, only a matter of time...
When it comes off it is likely to fall right where your belayer is likely to be standing! Top Candidate for a trundle if you ask me.

|So, uh, maybe you should have removed the block. One of us has to do it, just make sure you yell out 'rock', and throw way out from wall. Don't know of a better time, unless you climb at 3am.

rating: 5.10a 6a 18 VI+ 18 E1 5a
AC, we considered trundling the block but, besides it not being fully detached (at least we did not test it), we could not see from our position if people were coming up a side trail below or down the hill for that matter.
Not a liability I was interested in shouldering.
I figured a heads up on this site would prevent an accident and if some one else wants to trundle it let them decide to do so.

|Did this route last week. While its good by BC standards, I'd hardly call it classic. And 10a is way overrated IMHO. The crux on the first pitch is a high step and crank from good holds on the corner. Crux moves on the second pitch are thin and a little balancy, but not that bad.

|This is a really fun route to lead in one pitch (about 170 ft.). I am really surprised this was not climbed earlier as it is such a classic line. A quality addition to this cliff.
By Joseph Proulx
Jun 16, 2004
I didn't think it was harder than 5.9, but I wasn't on lead. My partner didn't think it was harder than 5.9 either.
Just a note: You should place some gear in the crack above the third bolt, even if the climbing to the next bolt is easy. If you don't place any gear, a fall by the second from the crux (at the third bolt) will result in a swing over the arete. This probably wouldn't be dangerous, but it would suck. You might have to lower down to get back on route.

|One of the loose blocks George is likely referring to is a two-foot spike/tooth of rock that's about two feet to the right of the last bolt on pitch 1; it flexes quite a lot.

|The loose block at the end of pitch one is still there as of 10/10/2004 and is moving quite easily. Trundling it would be a little dubious without some coordination given all the activity at the Riviera and the road below.

This route is pretty good, thanks for the work.
I would not rate this as a potential classic.
The climbing is not sustained at the grade. There are loose blocks and sections of lower grade rock. Pitch 2 is short and ends abruptly in a strange spot.
Slabberific, climb it once and maybe twice.

|Climbed both pitches today, amazing climb. Awesome exposure, freaked me out everytime I was above pro and looked down. I found it harder than 10a.... It was the first time I've seriously relied on gear, so the head game could have had an effect. Or, I might just suck. ORRRR, you might just be too good.

Dale Haas and I replaced the 1/4" quicklinks and 3/8" links of chain at the first belay with Fixe SS double ring hangers. The hardware was provided by the American Safe Climbing Association(ASCA - www.safeclimbing.org). They appreciate your support.
We also tightened up the third bolt on the first pitch(crux) which was very loose.
As an aside, Dale and I placed those original anchors on the route shortly after the FA in 2002, so they have been up there for 14 years. Because of the leaning nature of this route, nobody ever top ropes it, which means that this anchor is only used for rappel. The 3/8" links of chain through which the rope is threaded during rappel look almost new with no real signs of wear. This is yet another example of how lowering through hardware greatly increases the wear.

On Saturday, I took a little trip out to Hersheypark to meet up with my college roommates. One lives just over the Cape May-Lewes Ferry in Rehobeth and the other lives in Pittsburgh. How lucky are we that meeting in the middle just so happens to put us in "The Sweetest Place on Earth?" Hersheypark is in the middle of their Christmas Candylane event, a Christmas celebration that runs through December.
It was magical to walk around the park with Christmas music playing and lights twinkling everywhere. About 30 rides opened for the event and there were light shows, entertainment and Santa's reindeer were even stabled there! We found plenty to do from catching up over (delicious) hot chocolate to decorating a gingerbread cookie!
We also visited Chocolate World where you can create your own chocolate bars, ride through the chocolate making process, watch Hershey's Really Big 3D Show and of course, shop the marketplace. Hey, I had to stock up on Symphony bars!
In the field across from the park, huge sections of bright yellow track waited to become Hersheypark's newest coaster, Skyrush. It looks like it's going to be amazing!
Christmas at an amusement park… definitely a concept I can get into! We don't have any plans currently for a holiday season at Morey's Piers, but what do you think it would look like if we did?

CSUF IRB Policies & Procedures
CSUF Assurance
The below-listed terms are provided as reference and to help inform
the CSUF faculty, staff and students regarding IRB terminology and
the CSUF IRB review process. Many of these terms have been extracted
from the Office for Human Research Protections (OHRP) IRB Guidebook
(Online Version) (2005) and may differ from the interpretation or
meaning as used for the general population. Adaptations to these
terms have been made as they relate to CSUF IRB as well.
ADVERSE EFFECT: An undesirable and unintended, although
not necessarily unexpected, result of therapy or other intervention
(e.g., headache following spinal tap or emotional distress following
an interview about family violence).
ANONYMITY: Collection of data from individuals wherein
no identifiers will be linked to the participant and therefore cannot
in any way be traced to the participant. "Anonymity"
and "confidentiality" do not have the same meaning and
are not interchangeable. Anonymous data collection means
that even the researcher does not know the identity of the subjects.
ASSENT: Agreement by an individual not
competent to give legally valid informed consent (e.g., a child
or cognitively impaired person) to participate in research.
An assent is typically paired with a parental consent form or permission
from a guardian, and together they comprise the informed consent
to participate.
ASSURANCE: A formal written, binding commitment that is
submitted to a federal agency in which an institution promises to
comply with applicable regulations governing research with human
subjects and stipulates the procedures through which compliance
will be achieved. CSUF's Assurance No. is FWA 00000135 and
was approved March 12, 2001.
AUTHORIZED INSTITUTIONAL OFFICIAL: An officer of an institution
with the authority to speak for and legally commit the institution
to adherence to the requirements of the federal regulations regarding
the involvement of human subjects in biomedical and behavioral research.
At CSUF, the Authorized Institutional Official is President,
Dr. Milton A. Gordon.
BELMONT REPORT: A statement of basic ethical principles
governing research involving human subjects issued by the National
Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects in 1978.
BENEFICENCE: An ethical principle discussed in the Belmont
Report that entails an obligation to protect persons from harm.
The principle of beneficence can be expressed in two general rules:
(1) do not harm; and (2) protect from harm by maximizing possible
benefits and minimizing possible risks of harm.
BENEFIT: A valued or desired outcome; an advantage.
CSUF's IRB application requests information about benefits as they
relate to research participants.
CHILDREN: Persons who have not attained the legal age for
consent to treatment or procedures involved in the research, as
determined under the applicable law of the jurisdiction in which
the research will be conducted 45 CFR 46 46.401(a)].
COGNITIVELY IMPAIRED: Having either a psychiatric disorder
(e.g., psychosis, neurosis, personality or behavior disorders, or
dementia) or a developmental disorder (e.g., mental retardation)
that affects cognitive or emotional functions to the extent that
capacity for judgment and reasoning is significantly diminished.
Others, including persons under the influence of or dependent on
drugs or alcohol, those suffering from degenerative diseases affecting
the brain, terminally ill patients, and persons with severely disabling
physical handicaps, may also compromised in their ability to make
decisions in their best interests.
COMPENSATION: Payment or medical
care provided to subjects injured in research; does not refer to
payment (remuneration) for participation in research. (For comparison,
see also: Remuneration.)
COMPETENCE:: Technically, a legal term, used to denote
capacity to act on one's own behalf; the ability to understand information
presented, to appreciate the consequences of acting (or not acting)
on that information, and to make a choice. (See also Incompetence,
CONFIDENTIALITY: Pertains to the treatment of information
that an individual has disclosed in a relationship of trust and
with the expectation that it will not be divulged to others without
permission in ways that are inconsistent with the understanding
of the original disclosure. Confidential data collection means that
the researcher knows the identity of the subjects either directly
or through the use of a master list used for coding but will not
release identifying information when sharing the data with others.
CONTROL (SUBJECTS) or CONTROLS: Subject(s) used for comparison
who are not given a treatment under study or who do not have a given
condition, background, or risk factor that is the object of study.
Control conditions may be concurrent (occurring more or less simultaneously
with the condition under study) or historical (preceding the condition
under study). When the present condition of subjects is compared
with their own condition on a prior regimen or treatment, the study
is considered historically controlled.
CO-PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR (CO-PI): The other primary scholar
or researcher involved in conducting the research; if the project
is for a thesis or dissertation, the student is the Co-PI.
DEBRIEFING: Giving subjects previously undisclosed information
about the research project following completion of their participation
in research. (Note that this usage, which occurs within the behavioral
sciences, departs from standard English, in which debriefing is
obtaining rather than imparting information.)
DECLARATION OF HELSINKI: A code of ethics
for clinical research approved by the World Medical Association
in 1964 and widely adopted by medical associations in various countries.
It was revised in 1975 and 1989.
DESCRIPTIVE STUDY: Any study that is not truly experimental
(e.g., quasi-experimental studies, correlational, studies, record
reviews, case histories, and observational studies).
EMANCIPATED MINOR: A legal status conferred upon persons
who have not yet attained the age of legal competency as defined
by state law (for such purposes as consenting to medical care),
but who are entitled to treatment as if they had by virtue of assuming
adult responsibilities such as being self-supporting and not living
at home, marriage, or procreation.
EQUITABLE: Fair or just; used in the context of selection
of subjects to indicate that the benefits and burdens of research
are fairly distributed.
EXPEDITED REVIEW:: Review of proposed research by the IRB
chair or a designated voting member or group of voting members rather
than by the entire IRB. Federal rules permit expedited review for
certain kinds of research involving no more than minimal risk and
for minor changes in approved research.
FEDERAL POLICY (THE): The federal policy that provides
regulations for the involvement of human subjects in research. The
Policy applies to all research involving human subjects conducted,
supported, or otherwise subject to regulation by any federal department
or agency that takes appropriate administrative action to make the
Policy applicable to such research. Currently, sixteen federal agencies
have adopted the Federal Policy. (Also known as the "Common
FULL BOARD REVIEW: Review of proposed research at a convened
meeting at which a majority of the membership of the IRB are present,
including at least one member whose primary concerns are in nonscientific
areas. For the research to be approved, it must receive the approval
of a majority of those members present at the meeting.
Generalizable Knowledge: Information obtained from research
that can be applied outside of the population involved in the research
(i.e.) findings are analyzed and disseminated in a way so that findings
may be presented as new or beneficial to groups outside of the original
research study.)
GUARDIAN: An individual who is authorized under applicable
state or local law to give permission on behalf of a child to general
medical care.
HIPAA: the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996 and the privacy regulations promulgated under the Act.
HUMAN SUBJECTS: Individuals whose physiologic or behavioral
characteristics and responses are the object of study in a research
project. Under the federal regulations, human subjects are defined
as: living individual(s) about whom an investigator conducting research
obtains: (1) data through intervention or interaction with the individual;
or (2) identifiable private information.
INCAPACITY: Refers to a person's mental status and means
inability to understand information presented, to appreciate the
consequences of acting (or not acting) on that information, and
to make a choice. Often used as a synonym for incompetence.
INCOMPETENCE: A legal term meaning inability to manage
one's own affairs, and often used as a synonym for incapacity.
INFORMED CONSENT: A person's voluntary agreement, based
upon adequate knowledge and understanding of relevant information,
to participate in research or to undergo a diagnostic, therapeutic,
or preventive procedure. In giving informed consent, subjects may
not waive or appear to waive any of their legal rights, or release
or appear to release the investigator, the sponsor, the institution
or agents thereof from liability for negligence.
INSTITUTIONAL REVIEW BOARD (IRB): A specially constituted,
federally mandated review body established or designated by an entity
to protect the welfare of human subjects recruited to participate
in biomedical or behavioral research.
INVESTIGATOR: A researcher conducting the project.
Investigators can be Principal Investigators or Co-Principal Investigators.
Students are always Co-Principal Investigators.
LEGALLY AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE: A person authorized either
by statute or by court appointment to make decisions on behalf of
another person. In human subjects research, an individual or judicial
or other body authorized under applicable law to consent on behalf
of a prospective subject to the subject's participation in the procedure(s)
involved in the research.
MINIMAL RISK: A risk is minimal where
the probability and magnitude of harm or discomfort anticipated
in the proposed research are not greater, in and of themselves,
than those ordinarily encountered in daily life or during the performance
of routine physical or psychological examinations or tests. For
example, the risk of drawing a small amount of blood from a healthy
individual for research purposes is no greater than the risk of
doing so as part of routine physical examination. Note: The
definition of minimal risk for research involving prisoners differs
somewhat from that given for non-institutionalized adults.
NUREMBERG CODE: A code of research ethics developed during
the trials of Nazi war criminals following World War II and widely
adopted as a standard during the 1950s and 1960s for protecting
human subjects.
OFFICE FOR PROTECTION FROM RESEARCH RISKS (OPRR): The office
within the National Institutes of Health, an agency of the Public
Health Service, Department of Health and Human Services, responsible
for implementing DHHS regulations (45 CFR 46 Part 46) governing
research involving human subjects. In 2000 this office was
re-named the Office of Human Research Protection (OHRP).
OFFICE OF HUMAN RESEARCH PROTECTION (OHRP): The new name
of OPRR when it was elevated in 2000 to report to the Secretary
of DHHS.

providing such alternatives to criminal prosecution or incarceration
in a penal institution. Note that this includes adjudicated
PRIVACY: Control over the extent, timing, and circumstances
of sharing oneself (physically, behaviorally, or intellectually)
with others.
PROSPECTIVE STUDIES: Studies designed to observe outcomes
or events that occur subsequent to the identification of the group
of subjects to be studied. Prospective studies need not involve
manipulation or intervention but may be purely observational or
involve only the collection of data.
PROTOCOL: The formal design or plan of an experiment or
research activity; specifically, the plan submitted to an IRB for
review and to an agency for research support. The protocol includes
a description of the research design or methodology to be employed,
the eligibility requirements for prospective subjects and controls,
the treatment regimen(s), and the proposed methods of analysis that
will be performed on the collected data.
REMUNERATION: Payment for participation
in research. Remuneration should be appropriate for the amount
of effort involved, and not excessive and thereby coercive.
Remunerations are not considered a benefit.
RESEARCH: A systematic investigation (i.e., the gathering
and analysis of information) designed to develop or contribute to
generalizable knowledge.
RESPECT FOR PERSONS: An ethical principle
discussed in the Belmont Report requiring that individual autonomy
be respected and that persons with diminished autonomy be protected.

by reviewing records from the past (e.g., birth and death certificates,
medical records, school records, or employment records) or by obtaining
information about past events elicited through interviews or surveys.
REVIEW (OF RESEARCH): The concurrent
oversight of research on a periodic basis by an IRB. In addition
to the at least annual reviews mandated by the federal regulations,
reviews may, if deemed appropriate, also be conducted on a continuous
or periodic basis.
RISK: The probability of harm or injury
(physical, psychological, social, or economic) occurring as a result
of participation in a research study. Both the probability and magnitude
of possible harm may vary from minimal to significant. Federal regulations

Population of Uganda's mountain gorillas rises
The number of mountain gorillas in Uganda has grown to 400, up from 302 in 2006, according to a just-released 2011 census, giving hope to conservationists trying to save the critically endangered species.
Uganda is now home to nearly half of the world's 880 mountain gorillas remaining in the wild, a source of confidence for a country that has come to depend heavily on the popular apes for substantial tourism revenue. The rest of the surviving gorillas are in Congo and Rwanda.
Uganda's gorillas live primarily in Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, a network of forested jungle deep in the country's southwest that is recognized by UNESCO as a heritage site of world value.
Poland first in Europe to fly the Dreamliner
Poland's national airline LOT has welcomed the first of eight Boeing 787 "Dreamliner" jets into its fleet, becoming the first European carrier to get the new plane.
The plane has been hailed for a state-of-the art design that makes it more fuel-efficient and comfortable for passengers than an earlier generation of aircraft.
Many in this ex-communist country celebrated its arrival as a symbolic step in the country's speedy economic and technological development.
The tabloid Fakt declared the plane a "Technical miracle from America" in a front-page headline. "In Europe only Poland has such a super modern airplane," the paper boasted.
Marijuana cafes staying open in Amsterdam
Amsterdam's world-famous dope-selling coffee shops won't be shutting their doors to foreign visitors, a huge relief to the hundreds of thousands of tourists who enjoy a toke or two in the Dutch capital alongside their excursions on the canals and to the museums.
Netherlands Justice Minister Ivo Opstelten told Parliament he was scrapping a nationwide rollout of the so-called "weed pass" that was designed to keep non-Dutch residents out of coffee shops.
Amsterdam welcomed the policy change, which allows tourists to continue frequenting the city's 220 cafes that sell prerolled joints alongside cups of coffee.
Smithsonian explores food, wine in gallery
Julia Child's kitchen — first donated to the Smithsonian in 2001 — has returned to public view as the National Museum of American History opens its first major food exhibit.
In the gallery, Child's kitchen shows her influence on culinary arts and food television.
Curator Paula Johnson says the second half of the 20th century brought rapid changes in America's relationship with food. One exhibit explores the influence of immigrants from Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America who introduced flavors that are now part of everyday life.
The museum also looks at the science of food production and the rise of winemaking.

Ag Notebook for Jan. 20
January 23, 2013
Ranchers paying off Hickenlooper's bet … Out at the Triple M Bar Ranch in Manzanola, Dave and Mary Miller are boxing up a dozen lamb chops this week — and not freezer-burned, tooth-breakers either.
That is what most Denver Broncos fans would like to feed Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley and the entire Baltimore Ravens football team after the Broncos' frostbitten collapse in its Jan. 12 playoff game.
The Millers' phone rang last week. It seems Gov. John Hickenlooper had bet O'Malley a dozen Colorado lamb chops against a dozen Chesapeake crab cakes that the Broncos would triumph. That was before the Bronco defensive backs discovered they couldn't keep up with Raven receivers in the near-zero conditions.
"We were flattered the governor called us to provide the lamb chops," Miller said, finding a silver lining. "We're always happy to promote Colorado agriculture."

State Fair in the black, auditors say … The Colorado State Fair finished with money in the bank last year.
Recommended Stories For You
Fair leaders made their annual visit to the state Legislative Audit Committee on Tuesday, a group of lawmakers who have a critical history of the Pueblo expo.
General Manager Chris Wiseman said before depreciation, the fair ended the 2012 fiscal year with $117,263 in cash.
In fiscal year 2011, the fair finished with a loss of $332,000 before depreciation.
Wiseman said the fair increased its rental revenue by $273,000 last year.
Auditors from the Alamosa firm of Wall, Smith Bateman Inc., made one recommendation: refine pricing policies, minimize loss and "work with the Department of Agriculture and state of Colorado to obtain adequate subsidies for operations."
Wiseman said that recommendation is already being addressed. It has been years in the making, but the fair could transition to a cashless operation this year, using tokens to purchase concessions.

Cold threatens crops in West but it's easing … The freeze gripping the West appeared on the verge of easing this past week, but farmers who spent millions to protect crops were still assessing damage. Some produce prices climbed, and businesses and residents dealt with burst pipes.
Growers, who have about $1.5 billion worth of citrus fruit on the trees, used wind machines to keep warmer air closer to the ground and irrigation to raise temps.
Citrus growers statewide spent more than $23 million over five nights last week to save their crops, the association estimated.
In some areas, that wasn't enough.
Crop damage estimates weren't yet available, growers said, because for some varieties damage isn't visible for days or weeks. Initial reports indicated up to 6 percent of the state's orange crop was damaged and up to 9 percent of the mandarin crop. Offiicals said despite damage there was still plenty of good citrus is left on trees.

Calf born to Waldo Canyon fire survivor gets re-introduced to mom … A 3-month-old brown and white bull pranced around a pen at the Wolfe Ranch on Wednesday in western Colorado Springs.
The animal paused, let out a loud "moo,"looked toward the barn and bellowed again.
John Hendrix, a volunteer hand at the Flying W ranch, emerged from the building with a large bottle. Waldo, as the young bull has been fondly named, didn't hesitate. He ran to Hendrix and slurped up the formula before chasing the man to the barn in hopes of more.
The bull was born Oct. 6 to a Flying W cow that survived the Waldo Canyon fire. Waldo's mother doesn't have an official name, Hendrix said, but his sons Josh, 11, and Sam, 9, dubbed her "Baby."
Baby and her calf were getting some alone time in the corral that sits less than 300 yards from the spot where Hendrix and other Flying W ranch hands found the mother and about 45 other head of cattle on June 28 —two days after the Waldo Canyon fire destroyed the Flying W Ranch and at least 346 nearby homes.
Other cattle had some minor burns, but Baby suffered the most extensive injuries. She had long cuts on her neck from barbed wire and burns covered her right and left sides.
The fire scorched the cow's udders, and she could hardly stand for several weeks.

2012 a warm year across the globe, reports find … The average global temperature in 2012 was among the 10 hottest since official record keeping began in 1880, with most of the world — from North America to far northeastern Asia — experiencing higher-than-usual temperatures, according to related reports issued Tuesday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Last year's average global temperature was about 58.3 degrees Fahrenheit, or about 1.0 degree F warmer than the mid-20th century baseline, NASA said, making it the ninth-warmest year on record. NOAA's evaluation showed that 2012 was the 10th warmest. The agencies' reports are based on slightly different methodologies and data.
Still, the two agencies concurred the data point to a planet that has grown warmer swiftly and looks to get even hotter in the near future. The reports noted except for 1988, the nine warmest years in the 132-year record all have occurred since 2000. And 2012 was the 36th year in a row that the global average temperature was above the 20th century mean of 57 degrees F.

Muskingum College named to "Best National Liberal Arts Colleges' List"
Muskingum College was once again named in the "best national liberal arts colleges" rankings released today by U.S. News & World Report. The listing will appear in the 2006 edition of the newsstand book, America's Best Colleges, which goes on sale on Monday, August 22, and on www.usnews.com.
The weekly edition of U.S. News & World Report magazine contains a portion of the rankings and will also go on sale August 22.
This marks the fifth year that Muskingum has been named to the list of national colleges. Prior to 2001, Muskingum had been a regular member on the list of outstanding regional colleges in the Midwest.
"Muskingum's enthusiasm for the future has never been stronger," said Muskingum College President Anne C. Steele. "In addition to an intensive growth in facilities, Muskingum's academic program continues to grow in reputation. We are pleased to see this quality affirmed by U.S. News & World Report."
Located in New Concord, Ohio, and founded in 1837, Muskingum College offers baccalaureate programs in the liberal arts and sciences to 1,700 undergraduate students in a residential college setting. The College also offers master's level programs to approximately 1,150 graduate students and graduate-credit professional development courses to nearly 400 additional individual learners.
The new state-of-the-art 32,000 square foot Philip and Betsey Caldwell Hall was dedicated last October and houses Muskingum's speech, journalism, and theatre programs. The college is expected to break ground for its new Campus Center in the spring of 2006. Planning for a new facility to house the music program is ongoing. In October 2004, Muskingum publicly announced The Long Magenta Line…The Campaign for Muskingum College, a comprehensive capital campaign for facilities, operating support and endowment with a goal of $55 million.

About Endocyte
Endocyte is a biopharmaceutical company developing targeted therapies for the treatment of cancer and other serious diseases. Endocyte uses its proprietary technology to create novel SMDCs and companion imaging diagnostics for personalized targeted therapies. The company's SMDCs actively target receptors that are over-expressed on diseased cells, relative to healthy cells. This targeted approach is designed to enable the treatment of patients with highly active drugs at greater doses, delivered more frequently and over longer periods of time than would be possible with the untargeted drug alone. The companion imaging diagnostics are designed to identify patients whose disease over-expresses the target of the therapy and who are therefore more likely to benefit from treatment.

Heading into the BCS national title game, Notre Dame is an underdog against defending champion Alabama, but the Irish have one thing on their side: history. Notre Dame is 5-1 all time against the Crimson Tide, and that includes a 4-0 record against legendary coach Bear Bryant. A look at the past matchups:
December 31, 1973
No. 3 Notre Dame 24, No. 1 Alabama 23
Records (coaches): Alabama 11-0 (Bear Bryant), Notre Dame 10-0 (Ara Parseghian)
MORE: Parseghian still leading cheer for Old Notre Dame
The game: In a back-and-forth game, Notre Dame had a 14-10 halftime lead thanks to Al Hunter's 93-yard kickoff return for a touchdown. In the fourth quarter, Alabama went ahead, 23-21, on a 25-yard trick-play TD pass from halfback Mike Stock to quarterback Richard Todd. After Notre Dame had retaken a one-point lead on a field goal, the Irish faced a third-and-9 from their own 3 with 2:12 remaining, and Tom Clements threw out of his end zone to backup tight end Robin Weber for a 35-yard-gain to seal the win.
The payoff: Notre Dame won the AP national championship, but the Crimson Tide claimed the UPI title, which was awarded before the bowl games.
January 1, 1975
No. 9 Notre Dame 13, No. 2 Alabama 11
Records (coaches): Alabama 11-0 (Bear Bryant), Notre Dame 9-2 (Ara Parseghian)
The game: Touchdown runs by Wayne Bullock and Mark McLane gave Notre Dame a 13-3 halftime lead. Richard Todd rallied Alabama in the fourth quarter with a 48-yard TD pass to Russ Schamun and a 2-point conversion to George Pugh, cutting the lead to two. With less than 2 minutes remaining, the Crimson Tide drove to the Notre Dame 38, but Reggie Barnett clinched the Irish upset with an interception.
The payoff: Bryant was denied an AP national championship for the second straight season, while the Parseghian era ended on a winning note.
MORE: Notre Dame and Alabama revered, reviled by fans
November 13, 1976, South Bend, Ind.
No. 18 Notre Dame 21, No. 10 Alabama 18
Records (coaches): Alabama 7-2 (Bear Bryant), Notre Dame 6-2 (Dan Devine)
The game: Rick Slager led the Irish by going 15-of-23 for 235 yards, including a 56-yard touchdown pass to Dan Kelleher. The Irish led 21-7 at halftime, but Alabama clawed back with a field goal, a 30-yard touchdown catch by Ozzie Newsome and 2-point conversion, but Notre Dame held on for the victory.
The payoff: Both teams finished 9-3. Notre Dame beat No. 20 Penn State in the Gator Bowl. Alabama beat No. 7 UCLA in the Liberty Bowl.
November 15, 1980, Birmingham, Ala.
No. 6 Notre Dame 7, No. 5 Alabama 0
Records (coaches): Alabama 8-1 (Bear Bryant), Notre Dame 7-0-1 (Dan Devine)
The game: Notre Dame scored the game's only touchdown on a 2-yard run by Phil Carter in the first half. The Irish's defense, led by linebacker Bob Crable, held the Crimson Tide to 246 yards. Alabama's last-ditch drive was stalled when Crable stuffed halfback Linnie Patrick on a fourth-and-1 at the Notre Dame 37 in the final 2 minutes.
The payoff: Bryant, for all his accomplishments, finished 0-4 against the Irish. Notre Dame climbed to No. 2 in the polls before losing to No. 17 USC in the season finale and No. 1 Georgia in the Sugar Bowl.
MORE: Could we see Notre Dame-Alabama encore in 2014?
October 4, 1986, Birmingham, Ala.
No. 2 Alabama 28, Notre Dame 10
Records (coaches): Alabama 4-0 (Ray Perkins), Notre Dame 1-2 (Lou Holtz)
The game: Finally, the Crimson Tide beat the Irish. Greg Richardson started the scoring with a 66-yard punt return for a touchdown, and quarterback Mike Shula threw three TD passes. Linebacker Cornelius Bennett helped Alabama stifle a Notre Dame offense led by Steve Beuerlein and Tim Brown, holding the Irish to 98 yards in the second half.
The payoff: Alabama finished 10-2, with a Cotton Bowl win over Baylor, and Perkins left after the season to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Holtz finished his first season at Notre Dame with a 5-6 record.
November 14, 1987, South Bend, Ind.
No. 7 Notre Dame 37, No. 11 Alabama 6
Records (coaches): Alabama 7-2 (Bill Curry), Notre Dame 7-1 (Lou Holtz)
The game: The Irish broke a 3-3 tie with a touchdown run and touchdown pass from quarterback Tony Rice in the second quarter. Mark Green and Ricky Watters ripped off TD runs of 74 and 75 yards, respectively, in the second half. Tim Brown added four catches for 114 yards.
The payoff: Alabama lost its next two games and finished 7-5. The Irish lost their next three, but Brown did win the Heisman Trophy. The following season, Holtz guided Notre Dame to a 12-0 season and the national championship.

England's 'Holy Cow' burger boasts entire cow between buns
MANCHESTER, England -- Ever eat a big hamburger and think: "I feel like I ate the whole cow!"
At one American-style restaurant in Leeds and Manchester, England, you can do just that, literally.
For just 25 British Pounds ($42 USD) you can feast on the complete nose-to-tail experience, celebrating the entire cow and its 17 types of beef in just one burger.
Sitting between a house-made Pretzel bun, it also comes with a beef tomato consomm-based Bloody Mary with jerky shards and thrice cooked beef dripping-fried chips with a pulled beef Ragu dipping sauce.
Scott Munro, master of the meats at Red True Barbecue, says he sells more than 88,000 pounds of meat to 35,000 customers each month.
"For any kids wanting to get props on Father's Day, The Holy Cow burger is a gift that keeps on giving," Munro said. "It's a complete religious eating experience, a journey through the tastiest cuts of beef, and something the old man will never forget!"
Munro didn't say how many calories the burger will add to your diet, but perhaps that number is best left unknown.
What's inside?
The "Holy Cow" Ingredients:
- Carpaccio beef and olive
- 21hr Texas-smoked brisket
- Juicy Lucy (melted cheese hidden inside a 100% steak burger)
- A parmesan and Jacob's cracker-crusted pattie made of pulled oxtail and pulled ox cheek with diced slow smoked ox heart and ox liver
- Jalapeo and dill pickle relish
- Thickly sliced mustard pickled tongue
- Unholy sticky beef jus
- Pulled 12hr smoked beef rib
- Blackened Wagyu rib eye steak
- Beef bacon
- Red's Dirty sauce

St. Pats finished the regular season undefeated on Thursday with a 32-0 win over Hershey at Knights of Columbus Field.
We preach all three phases of the game, he said. We dont have a great offense, defense or special teams but when all three play well, you win a lot of games.
The Irish started their first drive in great field position, at the Hershey 38 yard line after Landan Maassens punt. With Brandon Niesen getting the bulk of the carries, St. Pats moved the ball to the three before facing a fourth down situation.
The Irish had converted on fourth and one from the 17 to get first and goal but they decided to settle for a chip-shot field goal, which Niesen missed.
It didnt hurt St. Pats on Thursday, but in the playoffs, the Irish cant afford to come up short on such opportunities, Aufdenkamp said.
In playoff time, youve got to punch those in or at least get three points, said Aufdenkamp.
But St. Pats changed things up to start its second drive. Quarterback Sean Keenan connected with Mark Mayfield on an option pass for a gain of about 30 to the Hershey 27.
On the following play, the Irish then went back to their bread and butter on the ground when Matthew Buhrman carried the ball for nine yards on the last play of the first quarter.
To begin the second quarter, Keenan gave St. Pats another first and goal with a run to the 10. Buhrman got half the yardage on first down and Niesen got the rest on second with a pitch to the right side of the field where he stretched the ball over the goal line as he was going down for the turf.
Niesens kicking woes continued though as the senior missed the PAT.
The Irish had a chance for the knockout blow when Josh Margritz mishandled the kickoff and Alex Harms recovered at the 14. But St. Pats turned the ball back right over to the Panthers (4-4) by fumbling on the next play.
It was one of two untimely turnovers for the Irish in the second quarter. The second came after Henry Aufdenkamp blocked a Maassen punt with about four minutes to go in the first half. But on the next play, Hershey recovered another fumble at its own 38.
But with a little under two minutes left until halftime, the Irish got the big play they needed. Niesen fielded the punt and then reversed the ball to Buhrman who took it all the way down the right sideline for a touchdown for a 12-0 lead. A two-point conversion attempt failed when Buhrman just missed Andrew ONeill in the end zone on a desperation pass after a botched snap.
Facing a struggling Hershey offense, Aufdenkamp said that he felt pretty good about his defenses ability to hold a two-possession lead going into the second half.
That was huge because if youre only up one-score, you are only one play away from being tied or giving up the lead, he said.
St. Pats got the ball to start the second half and took advantage with a 60-yard touchdown run by Keenan two minutes in for an 18-0 lead.
From there, the Irish were on a roll. With a little under four minutes left in the third quarter, Keenan connected again with Mayfield for a 41-yard score.
Keenan scored one more touchdown in the fourth quarter on a 25-yard run to finish the game that resulted in St. Pats clinching the district championship and its seventh undefeated regular season in school history.
Aufdenkamp said that being able to get long-yardage plays against a stingy Panther defense was the best thing he saw from Thursdays win.
Our kids settled in and we had some big plays on offense, said Aufdenkamp. Sean Keenan made some big plays tonight and hes been a big leader for our football team.
Hershey coach Ryan Smith said that St. Pats was just tough to stop.
St. Pats made some great, athletic plays in the third quarter, said Smith. I give a lot of credit to Coach (Kevin) Dodson and his staff. Their guys play physical football. I thought we made some good plays and both sides made plays. But they just made more of them. I thought we played tough in the first half and theres a lot of things we need to work on and get corrected, which we will, before our playoff game.
Hershey 0 0 0 0 - 0
St. Pats 0 12 13 7 - 32

Why the hell are we giving ROY the ball?!
Ugh he's gonna lose us this game cuz he can't hit a layup
Falling apart, and you can't simply point a finger at Hibbert.
Can't believe we choked this away. Good showing, but only for 3 quarters. Can't just play 36 minutes.
Max contract to see some chump throw up ***** hook shots.
Roy's hook shot has no form! Just chucks it and hopes it goes in!!!!
This is heart wrenching
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.
And we fell apart in the 4th, damn it
This is laughable. The Spurs are just owning both ends of the court right now.
Most disappointing game of the year.
The Max contract player lost the game
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck
I'm not sure I've seen an NBA player be an All-Star one season, then become what Roy is now without an injury taking place in that short a time...
Roy Hibbert is such a colossal disappointment right now.
Has Lance touched the ball once since he entered the game? I've about had it with Vogel
Being unable to close out a game in which you have a comfortable lead in the 4th Q = Pulling a Frank Vogel
It is a waste of possession since he was so close to the basket.
Hibbert 5-18. We coulda had Asik + Scola + someone for that money. So sad.
you see the Bucks game?
It's not lost yet, but we need a break. We need a big break.
Well, that's bad.
...missed layup.
No, that was in Milwaukee

possible home invasion review.
$Hello All.
About 2 weeks ago I was home alone, Mrs. Nine was gone, and there were no cars at the house. I was in the hallway outside of my bed room when out of nowhere I hear a loud banging at the front door.
I move to investigate and see through the window of the door a guy whaling on my door, kicking I assume. The door, a 1 1/2 inch think piece of wood buckled. I moved to my bedroom and retrieved my Mossy 500C and returned to my earlier position.
Racking the slide and chambering a round I see the fellow look up, we locked eyes for but a moment before he hauled a$$. I didn'td get a good view at him, only the upper part of his face and his backside. Looking at the door I saw that maybe a few more good kicks and he'd have been inside.
So food for thought:
-Given my time constraint did I do the right thing? I didn't have time to call police.
-This fellow looked between 180 and 200 pounds, rather solid looking. I'm having second thoughts about the 20 Gauge's abilities, and I rifle would have been a terrible choice as my front door faces a road with houses on the other side.
Can anyone offer input or suggestions?

possible home invasion review.
I am really no expert here but my view is this: your actions caused the criminal to run and not perpetrate his criminal activity. Calling the police after the incident happened and providing whatever information you have available is better than nothing. Perhaps this criminal has been doing the same thing to other houses in the neighborhood. What matters most is that nobody in your family was hurt. I think you did the right thing. You did not have to fire a shot but did show that you were armed and ready to do so if the need arose. Another cowardly thug that thankfully knew better than to pursue his criminal activity (at least at that moment) in the face of potential harm to himself.

Whether he runs or not, defiantly call the police. In my LE days I've seen this happen more then once, where the bandit fees after finding someone is home only to be caught down the street.
He may be checking to see if someone is home, or in a woman is home alone.
So the cop shows up and the bandit is gone, better that then processing a crime scene next door because you didn't call, or worse, having the police find a rape or assault victim.
I'm not saying its wrong to have your self defense pistol/revolver in your hand when you peek through the peep hole, to the contrary, I'm just stressing that if he fees, the threat may not be over, may be over for you, but not your neighbor.

I agree with Jen and kraigwy. I would only add that the title of your thread should be "attempted invasion." If the guy is walking up to your door, it is a possible invasion; if he is kicking it, it is an attempted invasion.
I think you did the right thing. If I heard someone kicking at my front door, I definitely would have had the gun in hand when going to the door the first time.

You did right all the way around. Fix your door and be vigilant in case he comes back. And don't worry about your 20ga....it's plenty for the job.

The first thing anyone should ever do in that situation is to get armed. YOU DID GOOD.
The hell with calling 911 first, 'cause you may not ever get the chance. For this reason, I carry at home.
20 ga may or may not be up for the job. It depends on the type of ammo loaded. For 20 ga, I would not have anything less than 00. Personally, I'd stick with slugs.
You may want to get a monitored alarm system that have contacts on all doors and windows, too. Another thing that will buy you seconds are steel security bars for the doors. They're not going to stop someone from kicking in your door, but the bars will take a few extra kicks to give. Trust me on this. I had to break into my own house once because my power went out and there was no other way in aside from the garage door. These things will give but it takes time to do it.
Visible surveillance cameras are also a good deterrent. No BG wants to be on video.
Oh, YES - definitely call the cops on something like this. You might be safe but maybe the next homeowner may not be so lucky.

Because either I or my wife are often home alone, . . . we also have a "driveway" sensor ($65 at Northern Tool) which tells us whenever someone comes in the driveway.
It gives us ample time to "load up" or squirrel away, . . . whichever seems more appropriate for the situation.
But the OP did good, . . . no gun play, . . . stopped the crime, . . . called LEO.

If he had breached the door, I imagine a face full of 20 gauge whatever-load-you-have would have dissuaded him from further shenanigans.

I agree with the others who have said you did well. You deterred the threat without having to actually engage in a gunfight. That's a definite plus. Your door's a little worse for the wear, but that's the BG's fault, not yours. I do have to say that I also agree with those who said you should have called the police afterwards, even if the threat is over at your house.

In the situation you describe I'll take a 20 gauge over any handgun I own. When you have a chance you might want to pattern a few 20 gauge loads against a large sheet of white paper and you'll see what I mean.
Glad you're all right.

Shoot a super light weight varmint bullet out of an AR platform and the high velocity through a well built man such as you've described should cause the bullet to basically come apart in him. The danger to the house across the street is only there with a miss, all the same with the shotgun.
I think you did the right thing given the situation. I prefer to have one in the chamber. Racking the action gives away your position, or at least lets someone know you are home. To each their own.

In the video above, she never checked to see if the gun was loaded. She had time, so she should have, even though she probably routinely keeps her gun loaded in that gun safe.

All my guns are loaded even the ones in the Safe as most accidents are from supposedly "empty guns".

Night-Owl DV security cameras....
Do you have a motion light on your house/property?
Do you have any DV or security camera systems? Newer designs like the Night Owl units work outdoors, day or night. You can get a system that works with your iPad/tablet or smartphone too.
They sell them at places like Radio Shack & Sam's Club.
A DV system will help document events if you have a use of force event or if the crooks(s) split you can record a possible description or license tag #.
If you have the $ & time/resources, you may want to think about buying a dog too.
Dogs(larger breeds) can be a great deterrent to burglars & robbers. They can hear much better than humans & will key into any threats. Many convicts & prisoners tell researchers that large dogs are something they worry about more than the LE response or the occupants of a house.
Finally, if you decide to use a home defense shotgun or patrol rifle(7.62 or 5.56mm), Id carry a semi-auto pistol or snub DA only revolver as a BUG/2nd gun.
A crook can snatch your rifle barrel or try to grab your pump shotgun. A well placed .45acp or .40 round can end that story right there, .

I think you handled the situation well, aside from having a gun on you while you were wandering about the house.
As to the 20 guage, I don't think you need to worry too much about it. I will reccomend buckshot/slugs, but whatever load you have will do more damage than most any handgun.

Sometimes you just have to open the door and peek outside to see what's up.
A few years ago I went to a rifle match. I took my camper (actually a horse trailer with living quarters). It was the first time I shot at this range. It was dark when I got there, so I parked in a field outside the gate. The range was located about three miles from town.
In the middle of the night I woke up to someone or some thing banging on my trailer. It was pitch black outside and I couldn't see anything.
Then what every it was started banging on the camper door, like it was trying to break in.
I get my revolver, crack the door open a tad to see the light from my CT laser sight on the nose of a horse. I backed off, got a flash light and went out to chase him and about four others away from the trailer.
Don't start shooting, you don't know what's out there, even in the middle of no where.
Phones don't always work, there was no cell service in that canyon. Sometimes you just might have to check out things on your own.
Now if I was to take Uncle Joe's advise, I'd been buying a trailer door and a horse.

But I did.
Several minutes after the fact.
I wanted thoughts on my actions DURING the event.

As soon as I heard the loud kicking at my door, I would moved to retrieve my gun from the safe before looking out of the window to see who was knocking. You wasted precious time by first looking out of the window before getting your gun.
"Secure the space and report the fire before attempting to fight the fire." Learned that from my years in the Navy.
Do you carry a cell phone everywhere you go like people do these days? If you do, you could always dial 911 and toss the phone on the floor under the bed.

You can get alarm systems that call the cops at the press of a button. Takes no time as you gear up. Starting the police immediately is a plan.
Takes as much time as racking the shotgun.

Smart911.com ....
I posted a topic about a new service; www.smart911.com many cities & communities are switching to.
It's free and you can relay information directly to the first responders(fire, LE, EMTs). I'm not sure if you can let any public safety officers know if you are armed or have weapons
And before you ask, Smart911.com doesn't sell or market your personal details & you must update it every 6mo or it's cut. The system isn't available in all areas. Check the site for information.

I don't think there is any reason to "worry" about the abilities of a 20ga shotgun.
If you are worried about the roadway being a background, there is an easy fix to that.... simply face another direction. Nothing says you have to stand facing the door that someone is trying to kick in.
Now is the time to invest in a little better door and perhaps add a storm door or other security type pre-door. If someone wants in they will get in but the idea is to make it difficult as possible. I also suggest the large striker plates that spread the screw holes out off-set.
I will say good-job at being armed and ready prior to the fellow getting inside. Now get to work on making entry a little harder.

Re: possible home invasion review.
Sounds to me like you did the right thing, and there was no harm to you or your family. That must've been pretty scary. I had a realistic dream the other night about hearing someone come in the front door. I was sleeping on the couch and it made me realize that the nearest gun was in my bedroom upstairs.

It's official: May 2014 tops the heat charts
It's a record — Melbourne hit 21 degrees at 11am on Tuesday.
At 10.30am, the temperature was 19 degrees and 30 minutes later it had clicked over to 21.
This May 2014 has joined May 1972 as the May which had the most days with temperatures over 20 degrees in the history of Bureau of Meteorology record keeping.
In 1972, the temperatures stayed above 20 from May 1 to May 10. The hottest day at a sultry 27.7 degrees.
So far, the hottest of the May 2014 days was on Monday when the temperature reached 23.5 degrees.
Bureau senior forecaster Gary Missen said record-equaliser was all the more remarkable because it occurred later in the month.
He said the 1972 record occurred just after April when the average temperature is 21 degrees, but the 2014 record came as we headed towards June, when the average temperature is just 14 degrees.
"Winter starts in 11 days," Mr Missen said.
He said the forecast for Wednesday was 19 degrees but there was a chance that this could be adjusted up. If the temperature reaches the magic figure of 20 degrees on Wednesday it will be the warmest run of days in May on record.
A string of days over 20 degrees in May is fairly rare, he said. In 1904, there were nine days over 20 degrees and eight days over 20 in 1866, 2002 and 2007.
Mr Missen said there had been some showers at Surrey Hills, Frankston, across Port Phillip Bay and at Colac. He said showers were expected to arrive in Melbourne later in the afternoon.

Although Curt probably won't have access to the league till late next Saturday, I wanted to put this up for a vote now, because I leave for vacation Thursday morning and won't be back till Tuesday morning. On the off chance Curt does check in while he's gone, maybe he can make the change.
If not, I'll send him an email to find this thread upon his return, so he can make the change, if needed, then.
Here's the validation:
Jorge has started the past two games at center.
Jorge Garbajosa-F- Raptors Nov. 19 - 12:18 am et
Jorge Garbajosa got another start at center and had 17 points, 10 rebounds and six assists Saturday night against the Nuggets.
Garbojosa has come out of nowhere with three straight games with double-digit points. If he's available within your league, he's a great pick-up, especially if you have him eligible at center. The Raps play four games next week, so he's worth a roll of the dice.
Jorge Garbajosa-F- Raptors Nov. 18 - 2:11 am et
Jorge Garbajosa, a standout on the gold-medal-winning Spanish national team, started at center for the Raptors on Friday and had 10 points, eight rebounds, four steals and two assists in 40 minutes.
He also missed a trio of three-point attempts, making him 3-20 on the season from behind the arc, but will have additional value if he can hit them with any regularity. Garbajosa's promotion came at the expense of Rasho Nesterovic, whose playing time has been dwindling and whose fantasy value is nonexistent. It may take a little time for Garbajosa to earn center eligibility in certain leagues, but he'll be worth a roster spot when he does, if not sooner.
Jorge Garbajosa-F- Raptors Nov. 7 - 11:07 am et
Although he's struggled with his shot so far, Jorge Garbajosa is getting coach Mitchell's attention with his steady defensive play.
"He's where he's supposed to be. He contests shots, he's in the help position; if he's the guy who's supposed to rotate, he rotates; if he's the guy who's supposed to trap, he traps," Mitchell said. He may technically be a rookie, but Garbajosa is not a newcomer to professional basketball. He played better on Sunday and if his shot starts sinking, he may have value as he'll get PT behind Rasho Nesterovic as the Raptors don't have a true back-up center.
ESPN Depth Chart before Garba's promotion. You can see he was already backing up Rasho before the change.
Center Rasho Nesterovic Jorge Garbajosa Pape Sow
CBS Sportsline, Fox Sports, and Yahoo Sports, already had him listed as Nesterovic's backup.
So, that's the deal. Thanks.

Topic: Bad news: More infection and blockage in stent.
My dad had the metallic stent placement surgery on May 4. And after that his bilirubin count was going down. It had gone down from 34 to 15. The stents were working and he seemed to be recovering. But all this while he always had fever due to remaining infection in his body, which the doctors said would go away with antibiotics.
Then after 2 weeks of the stent placement, his new blood reports showed increasing bilirubin. And scans showed that infection and puss had deveoped in his liver, and the right stent was not working properly to drain out all the bile produced in his liver. The right stent is blocked again. He needs to be operated again this week to place a third stent. Right now the infection is being drained out of his body and into a bag, until his opeartion.
He's been fighting the fever, jaundice and infection for 3 months now. And until the infection and fever are not gone, and he regains his strength, we cannot start the chemo.

Urinary and Genital Disorders (Children)
My daughter turned 12 in November 2010. She never had a problem before. I am wondering if this is normal for her to urinate in her pants occassionally. Is this unusual? Could this be because she might be getting ready to start her menstrual cycle?
The causes of urinary incontinence in children can vary from frequent urinary tract infections, an overactive bladder, infrequent urination, incomplete bladder emptying, constipation, to even nerve damage from a spinal cord problem. Sometimes the treatment can be as simple as regular bladder emptying on a 2-3 hour schedule (timed voiding) along with increasing fluids (water is best) and taking a daily laxative (over the counter glycolax is a good option). A urinary tract infection would need to be treated with antibiotics. A thorough physical exam and urinalysis in the pediatrician's office is a good initial start. Often they will order a kidney and bladder ultrasound and a plain abdominal x-ray to check for any anatomical abnormalities. Sometimes a referral to a pediatric urologist is necessary if more complicated issues arise. If additional symptoms like new leg weakness or back pain is present, then prompt evaluation is necessary.

Quality Coffee, Sustainable Futures
Fair Trade farmers raise the bar for sustainable coffee
From Peru to Ethiopia, Fair Trade coffee cooperatives around the world are committed to offering high-quality beans to their customers. Quality affects both the taste of the cup as well as the price that farmers receive for their harvest, and in turn, the livelihood of their communities. Today, many coffee cooperatives in Africa, Asia and Latin America are choosing to invest in quality. Cooperatives are using their Fair Trade community development premiums to educate their members about quality improvement, soil analysis and organic agriculture.
Showcasing Quality
To highlight the benefits of Fair Trade in coffee growing regions around the world, Fair Trade USA invited cooperatives to share their stories of environmental sustainability at the Specialty Coffee Association of America Annual Conference in April. As an incentive for participating, Fair Trade USA submitted top samples from four Fair Trade cooperatives to the Coffee Quality Institute (CQI) for CQI "Q Grades". Exposure to the CQI process helps cooperative members understand the value of a high cupping score, and ultimately, the role that higher quality coffee plays in securing a sustainable future through better prices.
In 2007, Fair Trade USA initiated a project with the seven cooperatives that make up Le Coopérative pour la Promotion des Activités-Café (COOPAC) of Rwanda. The project focused on quality trainings, and as a result COOPAC earned a reputation for producing high-quality coffee beans. They were later honored with the 2010 Rwanda Cup of Excellence, which allowed them to make new market relationships that generated an export increase from 39,683 pounds in 2007 to an incredible 751,781 pounds in 2010.
Another leader in Fair Trade coffee quality, Oromia Coffee Farmer's Cooperative Union (OROMIA) of Ethiopia, recently earned a cupping score of 84 out of a possible 100. As one of the largest coffee cooperatives in the world, Oromia exports six varieties of coffee directly to the specialty market. Through the use of sustainable growing and harvesting practices, Oromia produces quality beans at no cost to the local ecosystem and provides income to over 180,00 coffee growing families.
Vanguard for Women's Empowerment
Central de Servicios Cafetaleros del Nor Oriente (CECANOR) of Peru, which has also been recognized for their commitment to improving quality, places a strong emphasis on empowering women to be leaders in the community. In 2004, CECANOR founded Café Femenino, the first women-grown brand of single-origin coffee. Café Femenino launched in order to increase women's representation within all aspects of their coffee production. Today, the Café Femenino coffee project represents more than 1,500 women in Bolivia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Mexico, and Peru.
Raising the Bar for Environmental Standards
Strong environmental standards play an integral role in protecting the environment and ensuring quality coffee production. Two cooperatives, CoopeTarrazu of Costa Rica and PRONOVA of Brazil, have shown their commitment to environmental sustainability and increasing quality production through the launch of programs to educate farmers on soil quality and sustainable harvesting practices. These programs have resulted in both a higher quality bean and a lower impact on the local ecosystem.

Factoring in all the provisional sales (those covered by options, letters of intent or a memorandum of understanding), manufacturers announced something like $170 billion in new aircraft and engine business at Le Bourget. Recent experience has shown that the air transport sector has followed through on a large proportion of these provisional sales, promising at least half a dozen more years of strong income levels in civil aerospace but also mounting challenges for the strained supply chain.
Quite apart from the sheer volume of orders placed at the show, the geographical base of the airline customers involved was impressive. In recent years aggressive new carriers from the emerging air transport markets of Asia and the Middle East have dominated the airshow circuit with their buying power. But this year's show brought significant volumes of new fleet expansion and replacement from carriers in what have been troubled markets, the U.S. and Europe. For example, United Airlines ordered 10 A350-1000s and upgraded 25 -900 options to firm purchases of the larger -1000 in a $4.4 billion contract. U.S. low-cost carrier Spirit Airlines ordered 20 A321neos and changed options for A320neos into A321s at a total cost of almost $2.6 billion. Boeing also benefited, with Ryanair, arguably Europe's most profitable carrier, inking a $15.6 billion deal for up to 175 of its 737-800 narrowbodies. After apparently falling out with Airbus a few years ago, Ryanair founder Michael O'Leary tried to make Boeing work harder for his business by suggesting that he might become the first foreign customer for China's Comac C919. Evidently, he got deterred by that program's continued delays and looked west once more to Seattle.
Regional aircraft makers also had a busy week at Le Bourget. ATR reported its most prosperous Paris Air Show ever, with contracts valued at more than $4.1 billion. The latest deal came on June 20, when Air Lease placed a $120 million order for five ATR 72-600s. One day earlier leasing group HGI Aircraft signed a $482 million contract for 20 ATR 72-600s that will go to Brazilian carrier Passaredo Linhas Aereas. This followed an earlier $2.1 billion deal with Nordic Aviation Capital, which is to take 91 of its twin turboprops. Embraer topped this with deals valued at up to $18.75 billion, but much of these related to early launch commitments for the new E2 versions of its E-Jet line of regional jets. Bombardier logged orders for three CRJ1000s and four Q400s with Nigeria's Arik Air, as well as three more Q400s to Horizon Air, in contracts valued at just under $400 million.
