Mosaic of Marco Polo
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
In the year 1271 Marco Polo, age 17, set out from Venice with his father and uncle on a journey across Asia. Marco's account of his 24-year odyssey would reveal a world never before described. Traveling by caravan, the Polos followed ancient trade routes through lands that still evoke Marco's amazing finds.
Though he revealed little of himself in his widely translated book, The Description of the World, Marco is idealized as a learned explorer on a mosaic in Genoa, Italy, pictured here.
These photos and captions were published in a 2001 National Geographic magazine series on Marco Polo.
Grand Canal, Venice, Italy
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Venice's busy Grand Canal retains the aura of the Middle Ages, when the Polo family, successful traders, set sail toward China for a meeting with Kublai Khan. Kublai and other descendents of Genghis Khan, founder of the Mongol Empire, controlled much of Asia and made passage safe for intrepid merchants.
Kurdish Wedding Party, Iraq
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
A blizzard of shaving cream falls on a Kurdish wedding party in northern Iraq. Marco found the Kurds inhospitable, describing them as a people who "rob the merchants gladly." Before reaching the Kurds' homeland, the Polos passed near the Caspian Sea, where Marco noted a "fountain which sends up oil," the first European description of a petroleum field.
Tailor, Baghdad, Iraq
Photograph by Michael YamashitaMarco liked fine muslin, still a cloth of choice in Baghdad, where a man is being fitted here. Marco may have visited Baghdad, but more likely he merely heard about it and other parts of Iraq from travelers; he often reported hearsay.
Cheshmeh Genu, Iran
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
"Good … for the itch," wrote Marco, likely grubby and saddlesore when he reached a hot spring in southern Iran. It could have been Cheshmeh Genu, where some 700 years later locals still wash and soak in mineral-tinted water. Marco surprised European contemporaries by reporting that the three Magi of Christian fame were buried in the Iranian town of Saveh.
Mountains, Iran
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Climate extremes assaulted Marco as he neared the Persian Gulf in Iran. Crossing 8,000-foot (2,438-meter) passes like this one exposed him to cold "one hardly escapes by wearing many clothes."
Woman, Minab, Iran
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Marco descended from the mountains to a "great heat," taking notice of black-skinned Muslims, like a masked woman in Minab.
Northern Alliance Officers, Afghanistan
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
The "valiant" fighting spirit Marco noted in Afghanistan lives on. Ahmad Shah Massoud of the Northern Alliance leads officers in worship and in war against Taliban forces.
Opium Smoker, Afghanistan
Photograph by Michael YamashitaIn the Wakhan Valley—the long finger of Afghanistan that reaches across to China—an elder surrenders to opium, now officially banned.
Taklimakan Desert, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
More than two years into his journey, Marco Polo reached the towering dunes of China's Taklimakan Desert, riding camelback as visitors still do. Marco spent 17 years in China, returning with tales to astound the Western world.
Tajik Children, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Ganged up against the cold, Tajik children, members of a Muslim minority in western China, review tattered notes before school opens in a Pamir mountain village in Xinjiang. Marco followed the Silk Road through this well-trod region. "From this country," he wrote, "go out many merchants … through all the world doing trade."
Snowstorm, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
A freak snowstorm in arid western China enchants factory workers on a break near Kashgar. China presented Marco with many marvels: "black stones"—coal—that burn, cities larger than any in Europe, wine made from rice, and the discovery that asbestos comes not from a salamander, as medieval Venetians believed, but from a mineral.
Temples, Myanmar
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Crossing into a Buddhist realm, Marco provided an early account of Asia's great monasteries and temples. His interest extended to Myanmar (Burma) and its capital of Pagan, with "the most beautiful towers in the world."
Fake Money, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Paper money fascinated Marco as much as gems and spices did. He marveled at the "alchemy" that permitted the Great Khan to print paper money equal in value to gold and silver. He also noted the practice of burning fake money to honor the dead, a custom still alive in China.
Yellow Hat Monks, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Monks of the Yellow Hat sect of Tibetan Buddhism flock together prior to morning prayers at the Labrang Monastery in Xiahe in Gansu Province, a region populated by "idolaters," the Christian Marco wrote. Monks intrigued Marco with their fasting, their shaved heads, their "moon calendar," and the way they "lead life hard."
Silkworm Cocoons, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
"Each day there come … more than a thousand carts loaded with silk," wrote Marco about how the prized cloth poured into Kublai's capital on the site of modern Beijing. Countryside silkmaking has changed little since Marco's time. Villagers still cook silkworm cocoons until they are soft enough to yield threads.
Bound Feet, China
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Hobbled by age and custom, women whose feet were bound in childhood sit down to gossip in Yunnan Province. A traditional status symbol for rich families, foot binding escaped Marco's notice. Scholars suggest that he would have rarely seen upper-class women out in public.
Pulling in Nets, India
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Strength in numbers enables villagers to pull in nets on the west coast of India, where people have "all things different from ours," wrote Marco Polo. Eluding pirates and cannibals, the great traveler, homeward bound, uncovered both the material and the spiritual riches of South Asia.
Sadhu, India
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Tales of plentiful pearls, exotic spices, and ascetic holy men, like the present-day sadhu shown here, appear in pages on India in Marco's book from the late 1290s, The Description of the World.
Christopher Columbus's Notes
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Marco's written words may have inspired Christopher Columbus, who wrote notes 200 years later in the margins of a Latin translation of The Description of the World.
Adam's Peak, Sri Lanka
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Mountains throw off blankets of clouds at dawn in a view from Adam's Peak, a pilgrimage site mentioned by Marco on the "Isle of Seilan," now Sri Lanka. Some believers, Marco reported, came to visit what they held to be the grave of Adam. Others saw signs of the Buddha. Pilgrims still climb the steep, 7,360-foot (2,243-meter) pinnacle.
Brihadishwara Temple, India
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
"Most worship the ox," wrote Marco about the Hindu faithful in India. He probably witnessed such outpourings of devotion as when a priest at Brihadishwara temple in Thanjavur bathes with curried milk a statue of Nandi, the mount of the god Siva. Marco marveled that Hindus refused to eat beef and smeared their homes with cow dung.
Drying Cloth, India
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
India's commercial prospects impressed the merchant from Venice. Marco extolled the cotton of Gujarat, still a money earner as fields bloom with drying cloth.
Naked Sadhu, India
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
"We go naked because we wish nothing of this world." Thus Marco quotes a holy man similar to this sadhu in Bombay (now Mumbai), who has not worn clothes in 46 years. He owns only a bowl and a feather duster. "It is a great wonder how they do not die," Marco wrote.
Palazzo San Giorgio, Genoa, Italy
Photograph by Michael Yamashita
Shortly after his return to Venice in 1295 Marco was captured at sea, possibly by pirates. One tradition suggests he was imprisoned in Genoa's Palazzo San Giorgio, shown here in watery reflection. Marco devoted his prison time to composing his book. On his deathbed in 1324, the legendary adventurer reflected that he had many more stories to tell.

Me and the boys, we were heading home, walking our boards across the tracks and riding, just riding, past the hospital, over the freeway bridge where we always toss our smokes off the edge, it's what we do, doesn't even matter if you just lit up, and we were out in front of Joey's place when we saw this big ass dog bolting up and down the street, not even going anywhere, just bolting like it owned the place. Big old German shepherd with a collar and everything, like there was no doubt it had just escaped and its owners were probably out looking for it, but we couldn't see them anywhere. We stopped and watched it as it ran around, wagging its tongue, stopping to piss here and there, and Joey was like, Maybe we should go catch it, but nobody was feeling it so we went inside. Joey pulled out his mom's gin and I put on some tunes.
Professor Juarez says it's fallacious. That it's just heteronormative values imposed on young women. Or old women too, I guess. The whole idea of it. Men expecting sex. Like if they wine and dine you, you owe it to them. Like you're repaying a debt. And as a woman, I'm usually on the same page. I'm a feminist, sex shouldn't be a commodity. But that night if I'd gone home with Richard things would've been different. I wouldn't have this cast, for one thing. I'd still be in school. It doesn't get you anywhere. Thinking like that. But you can't help it. I'm a good driver. Fuck the crime report, anyone would've flipped out. What are you supposed to do. I was going the speed limit and everything. Cruising at sixty and bang, there's a bottle in your windshield. What do you do. I'll tell you, you flip out. Of course I feel bad. I tried to attend the service. They wouldn't let me go. I think her mom told them not to. They should have let me go.
Well, I don't know, Booboo never got out before, Pops kept the gate closed, and she was happy. I think she got too excited when she saw the gate was open. She just like ran out. I think it was me, I think I left the gate open. I don't know. Pops wouldn't have left it open because he's always so strict so I think I left it open. It must have been me, I was the last one to open it. Everyone kept asking me, but not like they really wanted to know, more like they already knew that I'd left it open but they like wanted to hear me say it. Must have been when I got home from soccer because I remember I went in the back door because the garage was locked and I had lost my house key. I don't know, but I think it was me. I think it was my fault.
You know how it goes, me and the boys went at it, Joey found his mom's bong and we went ham, you know, chilling, bumping something or other on my speakers, talking shit, like, Hey Dennis, how's your sister, and, Hey Dennis, can I have her number? Dennis was the bitch, that's the way things worked, Joey hooked us up with weed and drank and I brought the speakers and everybody made fun of Dennis and his hot sister, but that's just how it was. Things should've been chill but that day we all knew something was up, beats me why we were so bummed about it, but we couldn't stop thinking about that dumb dog running around out there, all happy and pissing on bushes and shit, because you know, you see a lot of strays out on the streets, like at the skate park that's just something you see, but this one clearly belonged to someone, and we could've caught it, wouldn't have been a big deal, Joey skates real fast, so finally I was like, I think we should go find that dog, and everybody agreed. We were all a little fucked up at that point, especially Dennis, who had his knife out and was poking holes in the couch in the shape of a frowny face or a hot dog or some shit, who knows, he was feeling kind of down, but we got up and grabbed our boards I took the bottle and we went out the front.
I wasn't drunk. I mean Richard was pushing shots but I knew I was driving. Wasn't looking for that DUI. And I had a midterm the next day anyway. Not that that mattered. It really wasn't my fault. That fucking bottle. I mean, who does that?
I was home alone, since Pops was still at work and my mom was getting groceries, I think, I don't know, so I let Booboo out and dished myself some ice cream. By the time I'd finished, Booboo wasn't scratching at the door like she usually does. But I just thought maybe she was pooping so I got more ice cream. I ate it all and Booboo was still not at the door. That's when I got a bad feeling, so I went out and called for her, but she wouldn't come. I put on my mom's slippers and went out and called for her again, but she still wouldn't come. And then I saw the gate was open. I swear I thought I closed it but I guess not. I don't know. I felt like I might cry because Booboo wasn't in the backyard I just knew she had got out, so I ran out through the gate calling her name.
Shit, I don't like talking about it, but it was bad. Real bad. A whole lot of blood, a whole fucking lot of it, and Joey kept saying, Oh my God, oh my God, because it was still alive, even though it was completely fucked up, some of its ribs were sticking out, and Dennis was real quiet, and it was just lying there in the middle of the street, twitching and shit, kind of whining, its legs moving every once in a while like it wanted to run, but it wasn't going anywhere, the thing was fucked. I still had the bottle of gin, I tried to take a swig, but I just spilled it all over my shirt. I was like, What are we gonna do, and Joey just kept saying, Oh my God, and Dennis had his knife out and was stroking it, sort of looking around, so I said it again, What are we gonna do? Nobody said shit, but I didn't want to just leave it there, so I bent over and started patting its head. I don't know what that was supposed to do, but the thing was so out of it that it didn't even notice, so I looked at Dennis and then back at the dog and I grabbed its hind legs and started dragging it. Didn't even have a destination, I just knew I had to move it out of the street, but as soon as I pulled it an inch it flipped a shit and started screaming and howling. I've never heard anything like it, and somehow I didn't notice before but it was sitting in a pool of blood, so I jumped back and saw I had blood all over my hands, blood on my pants, and I just lost it, I started bawling like a little bitch, but Dennis and Joey weren't about to say anything, they were freaked out too, and I didn't know what to do, call the cops? Who has the number for animal control? I just booked it, I dropped my board and didn't even look back, I just started running, spilling gin all over the place, and the last thing I heard was that poor fucking dog, screaming and howling.
Ok, I'll admit. I'd had something to drink. But only a couple. They knew right away after the crash with the breathalyzer and everything, but still, I don't like admitting it. It makes it sound like I was drunk. I drive well when I'm drunk. Actually, sometimes I drive better. But I wasn't drunk. That's not what I'm saying. I was going sixty when their minivan pulled up in the lane to my right. She was in the backseat. She was looking at me and smiling. So I smiled back. I still had both hands on the wheel. But every time I looked over at her she had that same smile. Her mom was going at exactly my speed. So we were side-by-side for a while. She was adorable. Six or seven, I don't remember. But her hair was tied up in a little bun. Had these big gold earrings. I wouldn't pierce my daughter's ears. Not until middle school at least. Eventually I sped up a bit, or they slowed down. I can't remember. So I was a little ahead of them when it happened. Like half a car length. The radio was on. I was sober as a rock.
I'd seen them around before. One was Dennis, I didn't know the other's name, and they were just like sitting on the curb looking sad. They're big, they're high schoolers, I don't like talking to high schoolers. Especially not guys like Dennis, because everybody knows he's mean, but I'd looked everywhere, in like a hundred backyards and driveways, so I ran up and asked if they'd seen Booboo. Dennis didn't even look at me, he had this pocketknife and was cutting the grass with it, but the other one said, Who's Booboo. So I said, My dog, and he said, Your dog, and I said, Yeah, and he said, Your dog, and I said, Yeah, I think I left the gate open. I was tired from all the running around, and pretty sweaty too. By now Dennis wasn't cutting the grass anymore, he was stabbing the lawn with his knife, which was pretty scary, by the way. It was a pretty scary knife. The guy who was talking to me was quiet, and then Dennis got up really fast and pushed me to the ground. It hurt because I landed weird on my arm, and I didn't know why he did that, so I stood up and said, Why'd you push me? But Dennis didn't say anything, he just pushed me down again, harder. And then I noticed he was crying. It was quiet but he was definitely crying. I started crawling away on my hands and knees, but Dennis followed me and kicked me in the stomach, and I started crying too, saying, Why are you doing this, why are you hurting me? But Dennis didn't say anything, and his friend just looked away.
It fucking sucked, I couldn't get the blood off my hands, when I finally stopped running I tried wiping them on the grass and washing them off with the gin, but nothing worked, so I stopped to catch my breath and have a smoke, but my hands wouldn't stop shaking, so I threw the cigarette away, and the lighter too. By then I could hear the freeway, and I've always thought, damn, it would suck to live this close to the freeway, you'd hear it all the time, it'd fuck with your dreams and shit, and the whole time I was thinking, maybe I should've killed it, maybe I should have found a brick and bashed its head in, or used Dennis' knife, or called my mom or something, but I just froze up, you know how it is, it's like fight or flight, and when the shit hits the fan you don't know what to do, but there I was, with fucking dog blood and gin all over my clothes, walking somewhere, I don't even know where, and after a while I saw the bridge.
Her name was Abigail. Abigail Rose. I sent her family letters. They didn't respond.
After a while Dennis' friend pulled him off me. My nose was broken and Dennis wouldn't stop crying. I don't know why he was crying, I was the one who had a reason to cry. Dennis' friend told me where Booboo was, but he said not to go there. He just said to go home. That was it, he said, Go home, and he picked up their skateboards and took Dennis' knife and the two of them walked away. I didn't listen. They didn't say it but I knew, I just knew Booboo was still alive. I knew she must be scared, she didn't want to be alone, sometimes when we left her home alone for too long she'd get scared and chew up the pillows, so I went and found her. My leg hurt bad but I ran anyway. I ran up the block and around the corner to the one place I hadn't looked. Didn't see any cars. No people walking, either. Didn't see anyone but myself in the reflections of cars parked on the curb, but I couldn't even see that too good because I was crying. I got there too late. Booboo was just lying there in the middle of the road. Lots of blood. I've never seen so much blood. I sat down and started petting her, scratching behind under her collar. That was her favorite when I did that, I think it got itchy back there. That's where they found me. Pops picked me up and covered my eyes.
I did it without thinking, just on instinct, you know? Like a cigarette butt, because that's what you do, when you cross the bridge you throw your smoke over the edge, right into traffic, even if you just lit up, but a bottle's a lot different from a smoke, and right when I threw it I knew I'd done something bad, something real fucking bad, and I heard it hit something hard, but it didn't shatter, it was more of a crunch, so right away I knew it hadn't hit the street, it must've hit something else, and then when I heard the screeching tires and the fucking crash I knew it was bad. I stopped and turned and looked off the edge, and it was two cars, a sedan and a minivan. The minivan had spun out, I guess, and it was smoking like crazy, and as I watched the driver side door flew open, and this big old lady fell out onto the concrete, it was a sad sound, almost as bad as the dog howling, just plop, right onto the street, and she got up, all shaky and stumbling, and the first thing she did was open the back door of her minivan, and then she just lost it, she started shrieking and running around in circles, pulling at her hair, and then this other chick came over, the driver of the other car, holding her arm, and she was like, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry, are you okay? and the big old lady starting hitting her, saying, You killed her, you killed her, you bitch, it was you. It wasn't her. It was me. I threw the bottle. It was all my fault. I stood there like a fucking stone. I didn't say a thing. I just stood there. I couldn't look away.

This whole question of money is one of the greatest difficulty at this time and also one of the utmost simplicity. The difficulty is due to the wrong thought which, for generations, has been brought to bear upon the problem, leading to wrong attitudes, even among the most devoted disciples. The attitude of humanity to money has been coloured by greed, by grasping for the lower self, by jealousy, by material desire and by the heart-breaking need for it which—in its turn—is the result of these wrong attitudes. These wrong attitudes lead to the disastrous economic conditions which we find all around us. They are effects of causes which are initiated by man himself. In the re-generation of money and in the changing of man's attitude to it will eventually come world release. (Discipleship in the New Age, Vol. I, pp. 271-72)

Bessent: America's puzzling 'health disadvantage'
Being American is hazardous to your health. We die younger and suffer more illness and injury than people in the world's other affluent nations and have the worst odds of living to age 50.
That "health disadvantage" can't be explained away by the usual suspects of poverty and race. It doesn't matter if you're white, insured, have a college education and earn a good living. It doesn't matter that the United States spends more per person on health care than any other nation. Even being young doesn't make you immune. The disadvantage exists from birth to age 75. And it's been getting worse for three decades. The way we live is killing us.
That's the unhappy finding reported last week by a panel from the Institute of Medicine and the National Research Council convened by the National Institutes of Health to shed light on the problem.
"We are struck by the gravity of these findings," said Dr. Steven Woolf, a professor of medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University and the chairman of the panel that compared life expectancy and health in the United States with data from 16 peer nations, including Canada, Japan, Australia and a number in Western Europe.
The United States fared worst, or close to it, in mortality rates, injuries and homicides, sexually transmitted infections including HIV and AIDS, drug-related deaths, obesity, diabetes, heart disease, chronic lung disease and disability. Over the past century, Americans' life expectancy and health have improved. But that improvement has lagged behind other nations.
So what is it about how we live that's killing, maiming and making us sick? No single factor can explain it. But it seems the freewheeling lifestyle we cherish enables behaviors that are bad for our health.
Americans are more likely to live in communities like Long Island that are built around automobiles. That frees us to live where we want, but it also discourages physical activity and contributes to obesity. Devil-may-care Americans are also less likely to use seat belts than motorists in other nations. And we have more traffic accidents that involve alcohol.
Americans notoriously eat more than people in other countries. More of us abuse drugs. And we do love our right to guns, which we're more likely to use in lethal acts of violence against others and sometimes ourselves.
Americans do enjoy some health advantages. We're less likely to smoke and we imbibe alcohol more judiciously than others. We have lower death rates from cancer and stroke. And lucky Americans who make it to age 75 can expect to live longer than people in other countries who reach that marker. But overall, the picture is pretty bleak.
Shorter lives and poorer health harm the nation's economy as health care costs rise and a sicker workforce compromises our ability to compete.
So, what to do?
Being academics, members of the panel recommend more data collection and study. And they call for an outreach campaign to alert the public to this health disadvantage and stimulate a discussion about its implications. That's sensible. The first step to solving a problem is knowing there is one.
Governments can help too. Tighter restrictions to keep guns out of the hands of violent people, like those to be debated soon in Congress, would help. So would tougher laws to keep chronic drunken drivers off the road. We may have to get over our aversion to "nanny-state" anti-obesity initiatives, such as taxes on sugary drinks. And we should invest more to expand mass transit to draw people out of their cars.
But, ultimately, changing lifestyle is personal. It's less an issue of figuring out what to do than of creating the resolve to do it.

High school sports: Friday's prep roundup
Don Jose St. George, UTNov. 4, 2013 12:03 p.m.
I haven't commented for awhile on these boards, so I thought I would give my two cents. I think from the 1st round of 3AA, its obvious that 3AA north other than JD and Stansbury, the rest of the teams are weak. Dixie/Cedar, and PV/Hurricane have to play each other again, and that's never easy to replay a team. My prediction is the following, Dixie will make it to Final game against JD. PV will give JD a good game, but JD is too well balanced for PV this year. Put pressure on their QB and he makes poor passes. Dixie/JD will be an incredible game that will come down to turnovers/Defense. I think both teams are good and running and passing. That Dixie/JD game won't happen though unless each team takes care of business against some really good teams in the next two weeks. In the end, I feel Dixie Repeats in shootout 35 to 31.
Elay23 Saint George, UTNov. 4, 2013 9:14 a.m.
I agree....I think it will come down to Dixie VS. JD. Although it's hard to judge how good Juan Diego is....as proved in the first round of the playoff's, the majority of the Northern Utah region could get beat by a 5th grade girls team...I think PV is taking lift off at a good time....but they are coming off of a super long break...I still give the game to PV, PV will lose to JD, and JD will face Dixie in the Finals
H-TownTiger Hurricane, 00Nov. 3, 2013 10:41 p.m.
as foolish as I would be to say that Hurricane is gonna go all the way this year...don't be surprised to see yet another Hurricane/Juan Diego Game this year. The game against Hurr/Pine View in the regular season was as close as they can get (well except for those 3 championship games a few years back) Hurricane could very well pull an upset against Pine View.
It won't be easy, but they have shown already that they have the potential to do so
mykaljordan draper, utNov. 3, 2013 7:57 p.m.
H-town tiger,
How have you been? It's always good went St.george comes up doing the playoffs. I have nephews that play on a St.George team, and I know how tough the teams are from down south. I wish you all the best, but you know me, I am all JD..! In my opinion it will be a rematch of last year,but with a different outcome. JD vs Dixie for the 3AA State Title. JD wins by 17
Good luck to all the student-athletes
H-TownTiger Hurricane, 00Nov. 3, 2013 6:14 p.m.
gotta get some hype for when juan diego plays those st george teams. Always great ones to watch. Good luck as always, but the southern teams are even better than ever. cant wait to see what the next 3 weeks bring.
mykaljordan draper, utNov. 3, 2013 11:46 a.m.
you will get to read about your southern Snow Canyon team next weekend after they play the #1 3AA JD Soaring Eagle. Dont think you're going to like that article either.
scrappy do DRAPER, UTNov. 2, 2013 1:45 p.m.
Beating any 3AA north team besides JD doesn't prove anything.. Those teams could barely compete in 2A.. They are miserable excuses for a football team
Elay23 Saint George, UTNov. 2, 2013 12:02 p.m.
Did hurricane not play in northern utah? Gimme a break. Plus, don't you ever get sick of reading about bad teams?
slcftball Salt Lake City, UTNov. 2, 2013 10:08 a.m.
Re Afi
Thats why you have the St George newspaper. People up north don't complain when we aren't in that newspaper down there.
Gimmee a break.
afi1 Saint George, UTNov. 2, 2013 9:51 a.m.
Not a single article about all 4, 3AA south teams winning?! REALLY?! not even one article?! Shame on you desnews!
Krispy Zadoosh Salt Lake, UTNov. 2, 2013 8:59 a.m.
Grantsville goes 2-4 for their last 6. KAC. Karma Always Catches up.
Proud to be American West Jordan, UTNov. 2, 2013 8:34 a.m.
Congratulations to the UHSAA on creating such great balance in the 5A ranks. Region 1 and Region 2 are ridiculous. The varsity teams in region 2 could not compete for a JV title in the other regions.

Thanks dear Wendy, I'm pleased you love so much about this one:~)Ahhh, that explains it Edie... you'll be glad when Easter is gone and the temptation with it!!Glad you had fun, thanks Kathy :~)
Another fun solve Mandy. Thanks :-)
My daughter was cross border shopping in Buffalo two weeks ago and bought be two full cartons of Easter Candy. I make baskets for 8 kids plus have extras around for the 'big kids'. Today I delivered 6 of the baskets to the families in advance so that temptation is gone but there's still a heck of a lot here.
Mandy, this is a terrific little puzzle! I love the colors, texture, and idea of it. :-)
I did mention chocolate - but forgot that Easter is just around the corner!!! I'm glad you enjoyed the colours Barb :~)I hadn't heard that one before Hester - but it sounds sensible to me!! Thanks for letting me know you enjoyed the puzzle!!LOL - Edie - who bought the candy??? I find solving puzzles an excellent cure to overeating, as my fingers are too busy to hold food!! Thanks for coming back to leave a comment :~))
Solved the puzzle. Went and ate an Easter Cream Egg, now I'm back to leave a comment. Great puzzle Mandy but not so good for those with poor willpower and a house full of Easter candy. Thanks, it was fun.
YUm! You know the saying...a diet is when you don't lick the chocolate wrapper!! Fun puzzle Mandy! :-))
Ooh, did someone mention chocolate? LOLPretty puzzle, Mandy, and with lovely Easter colours. Thanks. :-)

PM's Office Tackles Thorny Land Issue
The Prime Minister's Office is trying to help solve a dispute over land compensation between the Trans-Israel Highway company and the towns of Tira and Taibeh. There is concern that riots could break out if the land is expropriated for the highway before a settlement is reached. Uri Shani of the prime minister's office and Minister Without Portfolio Salah Tarif have already met twice with representatives of Trans-Israel Highway and residents in the affected communities.

Back in the all-wired age, no one worried about wardriving and password sniffing. Now, protecting against those threats is standard.
The risks and security implications of moving your sensitive data assets to the cloud are not yet fully understood. One thing thats clear, though, is that the cost advantages of moving to the cloud means that its a matter of when, not if.
Companies eschewing the cloud will quickly be at a disadvantage against their cloud-embracing rivals. ITs security toolbox will be much different in five years than it is today.
Cloud security may well have its WEP moment, but itll eventually evolve. How it will change, though, is much debated, and the signal-to-noise ratio when it comes to cloud security advice is not high.
Many look at cloud security through a corporate LAN lens. Others believe that any data outside the corporate firewall is basically lost. Still others believe, naively, that the cloud providers will take care of these problems for them. Some misconceptions are more problematic than others.
Here are five dangerous cloud security misconceptions that could compromise overall security.
As IT gets squeezed by corporate budget cuts and an ever greater need to stay on top of patches, upgrades and mushrooming vulnerabilities, the idea that you can handle security better than a large cloud provider with deep pockets and a dedicated security staff is misguided.
Remember, when a corporation loses sensitive data, its usually an inside job, said Brian Curry, VP of Products and Business Strategy at YouSendIt, a provider of secure digital content delivery services. Some insider will have access to systems they shouldnt, and data is at risk. Clearly, reducing or eliminating insider attacks is a huge security boon.
In many corporations, once you are credentialed, you can go pretty much anywhere you want. And how many enterprises have critical severs in unlocked rooms or even closets that pretty much anyone can enter? Ethernet ports are everywhere. Being inside the building essentially means that you are deep inside the network.
Compare that to a cloud vendor. They have multiple data centers backup and disaster recovery should be a given with the cloud and anyone entering must pass through layers of physical and often biometric security.
Moreover, reputable cloud vendors must comply with numerous regulations, are audited frequently and their business depends on delivering secure access to data. Major breaches equate with major customer defections.
Finally, in an enterprise setting, security is often the last thing IT worries about. Instead they spend the bulk of their time on mundane, cumbersome tasks like patches and password resets. In these days of doing more with less, there may not even be a dedicated security professional on staff.
If a cloud providers security is as lax as it is at many enterprises, they wont be in business very long.
People speak and think of the cloud generically. A cloud is a cloud is a cloud. Nothing could be further from the truth.
SLAs, security, reliability and uptime can all vary greatly from provider to provider, said Rami Habal, Director of Product Marketing for Proofpoint, a SaaS security and compliance provider.
Habal believes its important to have SLAs that go beyond basic uptime and reliability. SLAs should cover the applications themselves, and even what the vendor will do in the event of a breach or a DDoS attack.
Cloud vendors should be scrutinized just as closely as traditional hardware and software vendors. Conduct pilots, pick apart their security policies, negotiate favorable SLAs and seek out third-party validation of their service.
There are multitudes of attacks on the virtual machines that can be launched from another virtual machine running on the same cloud hardware. So, securing the data by security communication alone, such as by https or VPN, will still be insecure, said Pravin Kothari, founder and CEO of CipherCloud.

The Maple Leafs' centres are fast becoming the centre of attention.
According to sources, more teams have stepped up and expressed interest in the four men who play down the middle for the Leafs -- Matt Stajan, Dominic Moore, Mikhail Grabovski and John Mitchell. The NHL trade deadline is March 4 and it's no secret that Toronto general manager Brian Burke is looking to restock the franchise with draft picks and/or prospects.
As well, the Columbus Blue Jackets are said to be pursuing right winger/centre Nik Antropov. That team's GM, Scott Howson, was at the Toronto-Ottawa game at Scotiabank Place on Saturday night.
As well, there is said to be interest in rugged winger Jamal Mayers and defenceman Ian White.
Somewhat surprising, the source said that interest in puck-moving defenceman Tomas Kaberle has been negligible.
Kaberle has supplied Burke with a list of 10 teams that he would agree to be traded to. The Czech has one more year on his contract, which has a no-trade clause. Burke can trade him this summer to any team if the club fails to make the playoffs this season.
Fellow defenceman Pavel Kubina, who has the same sort of no-trade clause in his contract as Kaberle, said on Saturday night that he has not given Burke a list of preferred destinations.
Burke, meanwhile, won't say whether the club is close to dealing anyone.
"We continue to make and field calls," he said yesterday. "But nothing to report yet."
The Leafs have won four in a row -- a season high -- and have played in six consecutive overtime games, a franchise record and the longest OT streak by any team in the NHL this season.
On Saturday, the Leafs coughed up a 2-0 lead to the Senators after the first period, falling behind 3-2 in the third before rallying for a 5-4 win in overtime on a goal by Kubina, his second of the game.
"I think we've kind of found our groove," coach Ron Wilson said. "Guys are feeling good about themselves, and good for them, although we can't seem to finish teams off when we have the opportunity."
The wins are coming with many of the Leafs under the cloud of the trade deadline.
The players have been asked daily about their feelings towards the looming trade deadline and all, on the surface at least, appear to be dealing with it.
"You understand that it's part of the game and, the reality is, I play a certain way and it happens every year, you always get mentioned," said Mayers, when asked about the trade rumours. "You just go out and play and (management) have to make decisions to get this team better and if that's one of the decisions, you just move on.
"It's just part of the game and I take it as a compliment that maybe teams are interested. You just try to focus on playing and whatever happens, happens."
Mayers admitted that this time of year can be a unsettling for players, especially those who haven't had to deal with the rumours before.

Dulce de Leche:
4 cups (1 quart) (1 liter) whole milk (cow's or goat's milk)
3/4 cup (150 grams) granulated white sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Shortbread Cookies:
2 cups (260 grams) all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) (226 grams) unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup (60 grams) confectioners (powdered or icing) sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dulce de Leche: Put the milk, sugar, corn syrup, baking soda and salt in a heavy-duty 8 quart (8 liter) saucepan or Dutch oven. Place over medium-high heat and bring just to a boil. Watch carefully, and as soon as the milk begins to foam up, stir with a heatproof spatula or wooden spoon, and reduce heat until the milk is just at a low rolling boil. Continue to cook the milk, stirring the bottom and sides of the saucepan frequently, until the mixture becomes very thick and sticky and caramel colored (this will take about 40 - 60 minutes). It is important to frequently stir the milk so it does not burn.
Dulce de Leche Video
Note: There are several stages the milk goes through during the cooking process. When the milk first comes to a boil there is a lot of foam. Eventually the foam subsides and after about 15 minutes, the milk turns a light beige color. As it continues to cook, the milk thickens and gets darker in color. Once the Dulce de Leche has been reduced to about 1 1/4 cups (300 ml) remove from heat and strain. Stir in the vanilla extract. Let cool before covering and storing. The Dulce de Leche can be stored in the fridge for a month.
Shortbreads: In a separate bowl whisk the flour with the salt. In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter until smooth and creamy. Add the sugar and beat until smooth. Beat in the vanilla extract. Gently beat in the flour mixture just until incorporated. Flatten the dough into a disk shape, wrap in plastic wrap, and chill the dough for at least an hour or until firm.
Shortbread Cookies Video
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) with the rack in the middle of the oven. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
On a lightly floured surface roll out the dough until it is about 1/4 inch (.6 cm) thick. Using a lightly floured 2 inch (5 cm) round cookie cutter, cut out rounds. Place on the baking sheets and place in the fridge for about 15 minutes. (This will firm the cookies so they maintain their shape when baked.) Bake for about 7 - 10 minutes, or until cookies are brown around the edges. Cool on a wire rack. Shortbread cookies with keep in an airtight container for about a week.
Alfajores: Take two shortbread cookies and sandwich them together with a heaping teaspoon of Dulce de Leche. Sprinkle the tops of the cookies with confectioners sugar. Can be covered and stored for a few days in the refrigerator.
Makes about 24 Alfajores cookies.
Alfajores. Have you heard of them? If not, then you are in for a treat. Just imagine two buttery crisp shortbread cookies sandwiched together with a sticky and gooey caramel-like filling (Dulce de Leche). To finish them off, you can sprinkle the tops of the cookies with confectioners sugar (powdered or icing), dip the sides of the cookies in coconut, or even enrobe the whole cookie in chocolate, which makes me think of a Millionaire Shortbread Bar.
I have read that Alfajores (al-fah-HOR-ays) are very popular in Latin America. Which makes sense as they are filled with another Latin American favorite, Dulce de Leche (DOOL-say day LAY-chay). There are many versions of this cookie, but for this recipe we are using shortbread cookies and homemade Dulce de Leche. I love the pairing of buttery sweet shortbread and the rich, sweet, complex, caramel flavored Dulce de Leche. Dulce de Leche means "sweet of milk" or "milk candy" and it is also known as cajeta, arequipe, manjar or manjur, and doce de leite. You could use store bought Dulce de Leche to make your Alfajores. Now, some recipes make homemade Dulce de Leche by simply cooking a can of sweetened condensed milk until thick and golden colored. While this Dulce de Leche is good, I prefer making it from scratch. This is done by simply boiling down cow's or goat's milk, mixed with sugar, corn syrup (glucose), baking soda and salt, until thick and golden colored.
To cook the Dulce de Leche you will need a large 8 quart (8 liter) saucepan or Dutch oven as the milk does foam up as it comes to a boil. Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer. You want the milk to cook at a low, rolling boil. Stir the bottom and sides of the saucepan frequently to prevent burning. After about 15 minutes of cooking, the milk will start to turn a light beige color. As it continues to cook, the milk will caramelize and eventually it turns a deep golden brown color with a thick, sticky texture. Total cooking time is between 40-60 minutes or until the milk has reduced to about 1 1/4 cups (300 ml). Remove from heat and strain. Dulce de Leche can be stored in the refrigerator for at least a month. To soften, gently warm in the microwave or on the stove.
I love making shortbread cookie dough as it contains just a few key ingredients, butter, sugar, flour and vanilla, yet they taste so good. Try to use a good quality unsalted butter and be sure to use "pure" vanilla extract as ones labeled "imitation" vanilla extracts as they are made with synthetic vanilla and leave a bitter aftertaste. Once made the dough does need to chill so it is easy to roll. I like to make the shortbread cookies fairly small, about 2 inches (5 cm) in diameter since we will be using two cookies for each Alfajor. Bake the shortbread cookies until the edges start to brown as we want the cookies quite crisp. Keep in mind that the day the Alfajores are made the shortbread cookies are nice and crisp and you will taste its buttery flavor against the sweet complex caramel flavored filling. But after storing the Alfajores for a day or two the shortbread's texture softens and their flavors begin to mingle. Delicious either way.

It was one of the fastest social networks in history to hit 10-million users, it drives more referral traffic than Twitter, Google, and Bing and now its available as an iPad and Android App.
Pinterest launched the apps today after announcing them at a party last night. According to The Next Web, a new version of the iPhone app, which introduces a two column layout, is also available for download.
In an official blog post, the social network claims that the Android app "makes it simple and fast to pin, so that the time you spend on Pinterest is as productive as possible".
Pinterest also claims that the app will work as well on tablets as it does on Android smartphones and that phone speed shouldn't be a factor. The iPad app, it says, may give users "the best Pinterest experience yet".
The visually based social network's early successes weren't flash-in-the-pan stuff either. According to ComScore, it's now the third most visited US social network, receiving upwards of 20-million visitors a month.
Things could start getting a hell of a lot busier too, after dropping its invite-only status last week.

The Swedish striker's future has been a source of speculation in recent weeks, with the forward's contract at Paris Saint-Germain set to expire at the end of the season.
Ibrahimovic fuelled talks of a possible transfer to England over the weekend by admitting that he is interested in a move to the Premier League this summer.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and West Ham have all be touted as possible destinations for the 34-year-old striker.
Now, insider Lundh has suggested that the London clubs could be set to lead the race for his signature due to the forward's desire to live in the capital.
Speaking to Sky Sports News HQ, Lundh said: "I think he is looking to play in Europe at the top level and, of course, the Premier League is interesting for him.
"I think he would like to live in London. Whether that would be Chelsea, Arsenal or maybe even West Ham, we will see.
"I think when you talk to his colleagues in the national team in Sweden who play in the Premier League they all place him in Manchester United, of course with Jose Mourinho possibly coming in, but I'm not sure Ibrahimovic would like to live in Manchester.
"'It also depends on whether Manchester United reach the Champions League for the next season."

It was a cold, windy senior day for Montezuma-Cortez High School on Thursday evening.
Durango pitcher Joe Brennan and his team definitely gave the Panthers the cold shoulder at McAndrew Field.
M-CHS was spellbound to Brennans one-hitter, five inning performance. The Demons bats then flew in a nine-run, fifth inning to put the Panthers to rest.
M-CHS lost 12-0 in five.
I hate to sound cliche, I actually thought we played pretty good. Today was one of those days you just simply got to tip your cap to a team that outplays you, Panthers coach Sam Perry said. The out-pitched us, they out-hit us, they out-fielded us. Thats a very good Durango team. You just got to tip your cap and regroup. You learn how to get better and play a little better.
M-CHS (6-9, 0-7 5A/4A Southwestern League) played even for two innings defensively against Durango (10-5, 5-2 SWL).
However, in the top of the third inning, Panthers starter Dakota Goossen gave up three hits and two runs. Durango added another run in the fourth for a 3-0 lead before the Demons bats erupted in the fifth.
Goossen was relieved after 4 2/3 innings by Gerardo Martinez.
But the hits kept on coming from Durango. The Demons had seven hits and six Runs Batted In that resulted in their nine-run fifth inning.
In the bottom of the fifth, the Panthers threatened to extend the game by loading the bases. Martinez ended Brennans no-hitter with a single two batters after Manuel Hernandez forced a walk. After the Martinez hit, Elijah Duran recorded a walk to load the bases with just one out. But Brennan bounced back. He struck out pinch hitter Stephen Candelaria and then forced Tam Phan to ground out to first that ended the game. Brennan also had three hits on offense.
Durango is a great team. We knew that coming in. But so are we, said senior shortstop Devin Fox. Unfortunately, we just couldnt get the hits. They had an outstanding pitcher on the mound today. Its a tough loss, but well come back and get them at their park (on May 3).
For Fox, his last home game as a Panther was a little bittersweet.
It went by fast, is all I can say, he said. Its been awesome to play here for (former) coach (Don) Story and coach Perry. Its just been a blast to play here. Im excited to finish out the season on a positive note.
Fox plans to play baseball in college, but has yet to decide on a school.
M-CHS will conclude its season on the road starting next Friday and Saturday with a trip to Grand Junction and Montrose at 4 and 1:30 p.m.
We might play some young guys, said Perry about the upcoming games. Some of our younger guys might get an opportunity to get some varsity game experience. We want to get our young group experience, as far as learning what it takes at this level. In order to be able to compete down the road, thats what were going to have to do.

#5 is a good point.
With that being said, that alleviates most of the issues I have with the systems. I understand that SD and CA base pipes are the only systems that also include rainwater drainage (Which is why they fail, religiously). These are 50 year old systems that were built when the population here was about 200,000. and now its 4 million. It almost never rains, so they just take a gamble every year.... So yes, the DE system would not have the overflow problem caused by the rain overflow....
So, i am glad that we have started an intelligent conversation about the topic. It sounds like everyone needs to further educate themselves about this topic locally. I still have to chime in and say that I just generally oppose large pipes of sh** going out to sea.

the pipe is a bad idea. period. end of discussion. i am but one of many thousands, possibly hundreds of thousands, of people who have been or currently are deathly ill from untreated waste water outflow. sure, the fact that it's miles off shore makes it seem ok b/c the currents will dilute it, but eventually it all ends up back on the coastline. ditto w/ the army dumps dioxin-tainted dredge spoils off sandy hook back in the 90's or dumping unexploded WWI & II munitions off the coast. it all ends up back on the beach. or it ends up inside us from the seafood we eat.
having nearly died from an infection directly related to a sewage spill, i'll never be impartial on a topic like this again in my life. but it's pretty easy to see that dumping crap (literally in this case) in the ocean is a bad idea all around.

1. Opinion
2.....hint.....my username
4. There are plenty more documented affects. Some come up on Google but if you want to really see some heavy research go to the local university library and read some journals. True, there is no evidence yet that supports any issues with marine mammals.
5. True
6. Wastewater disposal on land is not yet a perfect technology.....true.
7. LBA is more expensive. So the people trying to save money on the outfall are going to spend it on fixing the inland bays?
8.True...I miss those good ol eel grass beds.
9.In sussex county the main use of groundwater is ag irrigation. This actually changes the dynamics of groundwater in terms of how it naturally flows. Yes, the aquifer is a good one.
10. Correct
11. I couldnt have said it better. True!
Yes, there is actually more information known about our moon than the Delaware bay benthic habitats. That said, research is key to knowledge.
Wikipidia has discredited a lot of scientists......joking.

ohh boy, I cant wait to surf North OC MD in years to come. When there is a nice South Drift coming down the DE coast, I will duck dive and come up with a mouthful of someone else's dingleberries!!! Awesome. Can't wait.

Does that matter? No. Does that change my opinion, No.
So, let me ask you a few things.
Have you ever been hosptialized from sewage spills into the ocean? Well, I have.
Have you ever had a doctor tell you that the bactiera levels in the ocean almost ended your life... Well I have.
have you had a mdeical staff tell you that it was due to the bacteria levels that were released from the local sewage pipe 1 mile south of where you surf everyday.
So, really, all BS aside, im not trying to be a dic* about it. But you guys can swear up and down that all the human feces is "Dilluted" and that there are no rainfall/overflow issues etc... You are reading data produced by the very companies who plan on implimenting these systems....
I dont care what the ratio or percentages are... if there is a .00000000000001% chance that one of you will be bed ridden for a month, unable to walk because you surfed within a mile of one of these precious drain pipes when it has a malfuction... And if that is a posibility, you shouldnt want anything to do with these pipes...
Talk to NJSURFER about it. He sounds like a jersey native WHO ALSO ALMOST DIED because of these sewage pipes, Not in CA either. With the same kind of systems that you are speaking of...
So, if I was someone, who actually spent daily water time anywhere on the midatlantic coast, there is NO WAY, that you could ever convince me that this is SAFE, or a good idea...
I am probably wrong... But that is because I have had this scenario happen to me, in real life. All case studies and statistics aside, I almost became one..... So, I air on the side of caution. Call me uniformed. Call me out of the loop. Call me what you will. But I would vote any clown out of office who back this idea. ANYONE....

NJsurfer and Zach, I feel your pain. My friend and I both came down with a severe stomach infection after surfing Baja Malibu in Mex just after a winter rain. I thought I could beat it and didn't go to the doctor's until I literally could not stand up. I lost 15 pounds and had to be put on some big antibiotics. The only problem is if we go the LBA route I fear more people will get sick in the bays.
The reason I mentioned California and New Jersey is because Delaware is different. We don't have the old system of outfall pipes, population, or runoff problems. Our water has always tested relatively low for bacteria counts. Our actual beach sand has higher bacteria levels than the water. Our inland bay water is a different story. Nothing against NJ, the waves there are some of the best on the east coast.

What with the unfortunate issue of there being 20ft of snow outside the front door, we're not feeling too spring-like right now.
But, thanks to Rosie Huntington-Whiteley (who had the brill idea of shifting to LA, where it's sunny most of the time), we do know what we'll be wearing when the sun does eventually decide to come out.
The Victoria's Secret star was definitely embracing the new season in her pretty pink and purple paisley flares and loose cream lacy top, an ensemble that definitely gave a nod to the 70s.
Throw in the super-sleek middle-parted straight locks (like she just stepped out of a salon, oh, wait, she did), and oversized sunnies, and the 70s styling is complete. Love. It.
Get ready for spring like RHW and flick through these gorgeous new season goodies:

(crosspost from the WoW-thread in the gaming forum, not sure which one is more appropriate)
The coding bug has bitten me again, and the outcome is WowPlot, a World of Warcraft combat log parser that shows you what's happening. Or some equivalent marketing drivel. It's really more about the graphical output of combat log events, than about statistics per se, but that makes it very useful in a number of situations where WowWebStats not very helpful at all (e.g. why wasn't target X going down fast enough, what's the damage output over time of this guy compared to that guy, ...).
Anyway, if you're running Mac OS X Leopard (10.5) and have some recent combat logs about, I'd appreciate some feedback. This is beta-quality software, but at worst it can crash...
this is amazing, looks nice. i'll start keeping my logs and put them up for you too on my web server if you want some from my raids.
That is quite nice. I don't play WoW anymore but that would have been a nifty little tool.
