text: I decided to make this one in the gaiwan short rinse and steep times about 30 to 40 seconds. First infusion was slightly red and earthy and dull as if it could have very well been a second rinse so I tossed it after just a few sips. the second infusion is much darker very bold flavors of earthiness with slightly sweet caramel notes, the earthiness of this one is the familiar earthiness of a wet forest floor that is not a bad thing at all either I really enjoy that. the third steep is much nicer and even more earthy with just slight caramel notes and this time very woodsy, at the fourth infusion is black as sin and it starts to loose that sweetness and caramel notes and really starts to get very bold and strong of just plain earthy goodness this time even more woodsy like the bark of a big ole pine tree, fifth infusion was surprisingly not nearly as dark as the last perhaps the fourth infusion was the peak of this tea it still has it bold earthiness like the last steep but you can tell its starting to fade, I could get one more good steep if I use slightly hotter water with a longer steep time but it would be my last. Had I done a proper rinse on this one the first time and not had to discard the first infusion as a rinse and paid more attention to my steep times I could have gotten about 8 steeps out of this one easy, Better luck next time. This was a very nice puerh I love a puerh that can take me to the forest and this one did it easily.

Dear Sports Dad,
I am considering holding my son back in school next year, to hopefully give him an advantage in sports, as one of the older kids in his grade. Yes, I realize this sounds like the typical psycho dad, who thinks his kid is going to be a pro athlete, but I promise that is not my motivation.
Currently my kid is in sixth grade, his birthday is in June, he is 11. The issue is so many of the top athletes in his grade are already 12. So he is destined to always be in the grade he is technically supposed to be in, with a group of boys whose parents started them in kindergarten a year late, for exactly this reason. What should I do?
Dear Not Psycho Dad,
This drives me nuts! Parents who start their kids a year late in kindergarten because they think being the oldest increases the odds of being the best. It's so inconsiderate to the majority of people who start their kids on time, according to school guidelines.
Most people start their kid in school at 5, but you always have those few that unabashedly start at 6, because they feel it will help their kid when they are seniors in high school.
It very well may, which is why I encourage you to follow your gut and hold your kid back, to give him a better chance to compete. Right now, he goes against the kids a year older. If you hold him back, he will be one of those older kids in sixth grade next year.
But I must also encourage you to move your son to another school, and if you can afford it, a private school. You don't want to hurt his self-esteem by embarrassing him, as if he was held back because he wasn't promoted. Put him in a new environment because your goal is obviously to increase his self-esteem.
Even if you don't think your kid will be a pro athlete, and take a room at hotel reality, he likely will not be participating in sports and will always be useful in life. Learning to be a good teammate, to sacrifice for others, to share a common goal, these are the qualities you want your kid to have as an adult. And it is always obvious, in particular in the professional world, the folks who don't know how to operate as a member of a team.
Do it for the right reason!

VA Tech Season Odds
Fresh off yet another ACC championship, the Virginia Tech Hokies not only want to win their conference in 2009, but also compete for a national championship.
Bet 2010 BCS National Championship Odds
Frank Beamer led the Hokies to a 10-4 overall record last year and although they didn't dominant the competition, VA Tech won when it mattered most, beating Boston College in the ACC championship and Cincinnati in the Orange Bowl.
Back for another season is leading rusher Darren Evans, who compiled 1,265 yards on the ground last season. Raw but talented quarterback Tyrod Taylor also returns to the Hokies backfield after throwing for 1,036 yards, as does receiver Jarrett Boykin, who amassed 441 receiving yards.
Defensively, VA Tech will welcome back defensive end Jason Worilds, who totaled eight sacks last season. Also returning are linebacker Cody Grimm (71 tackles) and cornerback Stephan Virgil (six interceptions).
According to oddsmakers from online sports book from SBGGLOBAL, the Hokies have opened at 17/1 to win the 2010 BCS National Championship. At those odds, the Hokies are somewhat of a risk because they lost defensive pieces Victor Harris, Orion Martin, Purnell Sturdivant and Brett Warren.
That said, the Hokies don't play in a dominant conference and if they can go through the season unscathed, they're going to have a shot to compete for title. But Taylor might be the key. If he can continue to develop, VA Tech is going to be tough to beat in the ACC and then who knows how far they can go.

ATHENS — The Athens sales tax allocation for August is slightly below the total one year ago, but the city is still ahead of 2013 for the year-to-date.
Texas Comptroller Susan Combs will send the city a check for $484,845.78, behind last year by about one-half percent. For the year, Athens is up by 2.86 percent.
Gun Barrel City was down by almost $10,000 for the month and was 3.05 percent below July 2013. GBC, the county's second largest municipality, is almost flat for the year, remaining 1.02 percent ahead of 2013.
For Chandler, the $73,382 August allocation is more than 17 percent on the plus side, keeping the city 14.51 percent ahead for the year.
Combs reports a good month for the state. Her office will send cities, counties, transit systems and special-purpose taxing districts their August local sales-tax allocations totaling $706.9 million, up 5.3 percent compared to August 2013.
Henderson County's municipalities enjoyed a positive month in July, totaling 3.42 percent more than the previous year. The August allocation is based on taxes collected in May.

text: Hodes Park Hodes Park Hodes Park 1607 E. 73rd St. Chicago, Illinois 60649 [View Map] Park Hours: 6:00 AM-11:00 PM Park Supervisor: Cynthia Harris Park Phone: (312) 742-7529 Description Facilities Map Description Hodes Park is a quarter-acre greenspace lying along Stony Island Avenue in the South Shore community. The City of Chicago Water Fund has leased this site to the Chicago Park District since 1960. History The park is much older, however. As early as 1935, the city's Bureau of Parks and Recreation was maintaining the property as parkland. At that time, the park held a small shelter house, a rock garden, and swings. Of the original park design, only a stone walk remains. The park honors Barnet Hodes (1900-1980), alderman for the South Shore community from 1921 to 1935. Hodes served as Chicago's Corporation Counsel from 1935 until 1947, and was a member of numerous other public and private boards over his long career. As head of the Patriotic Foundation of Chicago, Hodes was instrumental in commissioning sculptors Lorado Taft (1860-1936) and Leonard Crunelle (1872-1944) to create the patriotic monument now standing in Wacker Drive's Heald Square. Dedicated on December 19, 1941, the 150th anniversary of the ratification of the Bill of Rights, the bronze statue depicts George Washington and fellow-patriots Haym Salomon and Robert Morris. Salomon, a Polish-born Jew, and Morris, an Englishman, were the primary financiers of the American Revolution. Through Hodes' further efforts, the city declared the monument its first sculptural landmark in 1971. Parking/Directions For directions using public transportation visit www.transitchicago.com.

If I could only have one, period, then the .260 would allow me to load down for varmints; the .22-250 would not really let me load up for large, thin-skinned game; the .243 is a nice round, but would still have an upper limit.
Not that the .260 is a powerhouse, but of the three, I'd go with it, as it would offer the most versatility.
Now, of those you've listed, if I were going to add to my current collection it would be the .243, as I have nothing in that category. I already have rifles in .30-06 and 7mmRM, so I don't really need a .260 for larger game.
And if you asked what I actually think I'll get next, that would be a 6.8SPC upper for my AR.

Charm and Concrete in Bratislava
By RUTH E. GRUBER;
Published: March 10, 1991
AS I step inside the lemon yellow 13th-century Franciscan church, the oldest preserved building in the jewel-like old center of Bratislava, I am greeted with music.
From a gallery above comes a burst of trombone fanfare, then a brilliant Baroque fugue on a stately pipe organ. The golden notes dance off the Baroque ornamentation of the church interior, a rich private concert for me and the few elderly women kneeling in prayer among the pews.
The music stops abruptly, then begins again; it's just organ practice, of course.
I leave, and the music follows me, slowly fading, as I dawdle up the sunny street past the peach-colored facade of an 18th-century mansion.
This is one face of Bratislava, Czechoslovakia's "other" capital; it is capital of the Slovak Republic, which, along with the Czech Republic, forms the Czechoslovak federal state.
About 200 miles southeast of Prague, a little over 100 miles northwest of Budapest, only 40 miles down the Danube from Vienna, Bratislava's quiet charms have long stood in the shadow of these larger and much more magnificent Austro-Hungarian capitals.
Today, there is still much to delight a visitor in this city where everything is in walking distance and nothing really overwhelms. But the city has another face, too; one just as impressive and just as hard to ignore.
A busy highway built by the Communist authorities two decades ago slams through the heart of the old city, skimming within inches of the Gothic St. Martin's Cathedral before arching onto the huge Slovak National Uprising Bridge crossing the Danube. On the other side of the river, rank after rank of anonymous, ugly housing blocks -- the much-vaunted new Petrzalka suburb -- stretch into the distance.
In his 1989 book "Danube," the Italian scholar Claudio Magris wrote that Central Europeans "are ignorant of the science of forgetting." That Bratislava is still known by three distinct names -- Bratislava in Slovak, Pressburg in German and Pozsony in Hungarian -- shows how memories here refuse to die.
The city was founded about 1,000 years ago and for centuries it was mainly German. Administratively, it was part of Hungary and ruled by the Hapsburgs; it even served as Hungarian capital for two and a half centuries starting in the mid-1500's. The local Slovak people themselves were long oppressed.
Until Czechoslovakia emerged as an independent state after World War I, Bratislava was regarded as almost an outlying suburb of Vienna, reached in an hour or so by a direct tram and perfect for excursions to the theater or to the famous local vineyards and wine taverns.
During World War II, Bratislava was capital of a nationalistic Slovak puppet state set up by the Nazis; the Communists expanded it into an industrial center.
Since the Velvet Revolution toppled Communist rule in 1989, Slovak nationalism has pushed to the surface, with militants calling again for an independent Slovak state. Communist monuments have been defaced and street names with Communist connotations are being changed.
One of the best places to start a visit is by getting a bird's-eye view from the balcony encircling the tower of 14th-century Michalska Gate, the only remaining gate of the old fortified city. Straddling Michalska Street at about the geographic center of the city, it now houses an armaments museum. Below its elongated bulbous dome, the tower grants a 360-degree view of old and new town alike, from the red-tiled rooftops in the historic center to the mighty hilltop castle just above, all the way out to the factories and new developments in the distance. (A fold-out city map will help give a good orientation. The best, available at many newspaper kiosks, is a large-scale plan of town monuments, which uses color codes to distinguish the era of the most important historical buildings.) Though with 450,000 people -- a bit over one-third the size of Prague -- Bratislava's center is quite compact. Most of the monuments are concentrated in and around what was once the ancient walled city, much of which is now a pedestrian precinct less than half a mile in diameter.
Even the four-turreted castle, which dominates the town dramatically from its hilltop perch, is within easy walking distance. On the broad, rocky heights strategically controlling the Danube, archeologists have found evidence of prehistoric settlements. A fortified defense structure has existed here since at least the fifth century. Many times rebuilt, the castle burned down in 1811 and for 150 years presented a romantic set of ruins. The structure was fully restored in the 1950's and 60's and now houses part of the Slovak National Museum, whose exhibits are labeled only in Slovak.
The most precious single exhibit is well worth contemplating, even without detailed information: an early paleolithic carving from mammoth bone of a female torso, it is a "Venus" about two inches high, dating back 25,000 years and excavated from a site near the Vah River. It is included in an exhibition of archeological treasures near the entrance of the castle.

Paddy O'Brien, referee for the opening game on Friday, claims the pressure of the event will not effect him. The New Zealand referee will be in charge of his first World Cup game but insists a 70,000 crowd, and millions watching on TV will not cause him to alter his referring style. "I'm not that worried about it," he said. "There will be comments after the first game about whether the tournament will be a disaster or OK, but it's a responsibility which I'm quite happy to carry and it's a challenge I look forward to rather than worry about." "Both coaches are well-known to me and they know my style. Paddy O'Brien won't change how he referees and hopefully both coaches will be happy with what they see." O'Brien has been a referee for 15 years, and first officiated in a test match in 1995 at the old National Stadium in Cardiff.

Bill Wallace: Letter is clueless
March 15, 2014
Steve Mendell, in his March 13 letter, proves himself to be particularly clueless about what sustainability means, and how the consequences of not operating under a model of sustainable economic development negatively affects us all. Mr. Mendell started out by taking issue with what I thought was a sound commentary about our city's sustainability policies written by Sarah Jones, the executive director of the Yampa Valley Sustainability Council. Then his letter flew off into some Ayn Rand-Fox News fantasy world in which all of us are saved by what purports to be free market capitalism.
Free markets aren't free if they are ignoring or obfuscating the externalities, the effects of overuse of critical resources and degradation of the environment. Oh, and while we're at it, let's talk more about environmental degradation, specifically directed at your global warming hysteria clap-trap.
The mechanisms and the effects of global climate change have been studied and assessed by the best and most credible scientific and engineering organizations in the world. Their shared conclusion is that climate change is happening, it is predominantly human caused, and if not halted, will have devastating effects on society in the next 40 to 50 years. These organizations include the U.S. National Academies, the institution set up by Congress to advise the nation on scientific and technical matters of national importance. Now you can cherry-pick the data all you want, but I know for a fact that industries and governments both here and abroad understand that the climate is changing, believe that it's human caused and are actively preparing for a warmer world along with a much harsher set of environmental operating conditions.
As Sarah pointed out, Steamboat Springs seems to be decidedly unprepared for a changing climate. For me, one particularly glaring example is the effort to develop additional buildings and infrastructure assets along Yampa Street in the name of economic vitality. This effort appears to be predicated on the illusion that Steamboat Springs and the Yampa River have somehow gotten divine dispensation from the devastating flooding, property damage and loss of life that occurred last summer in Colorado towns like Manitou Springs, Glen Haven, Drake, Estes Park and more. Good luck with that.

Tiger wrestlers start new season with new coach
The Morris Area/ Hancock/Chokio-Alberta wrestlers start the 2010-2011 season with a new head coach and a new philosophy.
Troy Ostby took over the reigns as the new head coach and with him came new ideas, not to mention three sons. There is a new coaching staff too. Blaine Hill, Kyle Koehntop, and Nate Kleespie will be assisting him.
Coach Ostby says it's never good to change things, but the new system seems to have the interest of the wrestlers.
The Tigers return most of their team from last year with only four seniors graduating. Three key section place winners will anchor a very young team with only two seniors. Junior Tim Ostby placed third, while juniors Zach Gibson and Tony Domnick each placed fourth.
Coach Ostby believes he has a very special group of kids this year. Everyone is trying to learn the new system which emphasizes more live wrestling in practice sessions. The focus is on fundamentals and using drilling as a tool for conditioning - basically giving the kids a chance to wrestle their way into better shape. They will be put into situations they will encounter during matches.
About 27 athletes have started out the season, many of which are in the lower grades. Being positive in the practice room has helped keep kids out and has even helped bring back some old faces and bring in new faces. Coach Ostby says the next few months will be exciting for the Tiger wrestling community. The team had its first competition on Saturday at Lamberton and hosted their first home match Thursday.
Everyone is encouraged to come out. The Tigers have a new slogan which is "Fear Nothing." The young team is starting to show that mentality in the practice room and hopes that by mid-season they are the feared ones.

Getting up very early could be bad for your heart health, according to a recent study of more than 3,000 healthy adults. People who habitually get up before 5am are nearly twice as likely to develop high blood pressure and hardening of the arteries as those who get up two to three hours later. And early risers who begin their days with vigorous exercise are especially at risk for heart problems.
According to experts, at some point in their lives, almost HALF of men experience REVERSE ANOREXIA . . . where they think they're not large and muscular enough. It's nicknamed "bigorexia," and can lead to risky decisions, like taking steroids.
Believe it or not, a neuroscientist in California says TANNING is better for your brain than classical music or puzzles.

[1]A little recent volatility hasn't been nearly enough to shake off what's been a fantastic year for many mutual funds.
Just about every size of U.S. stock has done well, with large-cap, midcap and small-cap value funds averaging between 13% and 15%, according to Morningstar. Japanese equity funds have done well, too, returning nearly 15%.
Oh, if only all funds were so lucky.
Funds offering exposure to gold and emerging markets haven't just underperformed U.S. and Japanese stocks … they've taken a big, negative bite.
We'll take a look at some of the best and worst mutual funds of 2013's first half, examining just one fund per industry or category (otherwise, all the losers would have been in precious metals!), but limiting it to non-leveraged funds no smaller than $100 million in assets. So, here are the darlings and dogs of the first six months of 2013.
[3]YTD Return: +29%
Biotech stocks have been red-hot this year thanks to huge advances against diseases like cancer, diabetes, hepatitis C and HIV. A key driver of late has been the deep analytics on the human genome.
At the same time, however, there also has been another boost from mergers & acquisitions, as Big Pharma's aging giants increasingly look to dealmaking to make up for shortcomings thanks to the expiration of patents on its blockbuster drugs.
All of this has been welcomed with open arms by the staff heading the Fidelity Select Biotechnology Fund (FBIOX[4]). That includes manager Rajiv Kaul, who has been investing in biotech for the past 17 years and has led FBIOX to an average annual return of nearly 33% in the past three years.
Current FBIOX top holdings include Gilead Sciences (GILD[5]), Amgen (AMGN[6]), Celgene (CELG[7]) and Biogen (BIIB[8]). The fund charges 0.81% in expenses, or $81 for every $10,000 invested, and has no sales load fee.
[9]YTD Return: -13%
There's a pretty easy way to determine whether a bear fund is doing poorly. Has the market done well? If so, your bear fund probably isn't too happy about it.
The big player in the market — Federated Prudent Bear (BEARX[10]), which is an actively managed short-selling fund — fell off nearly 13%.
Fund manager Doug Noland is a top short seller, but even the best of bears are hard-pressed to make money when the market's in full bull mode. Consider that the average return for the past three years is a grisly -16%.
Regardless, Noland still has his eye on a few potential short opportunities. Current BEARX top holdings include Aflac (AFL[11]), Carnival (CCL[12]) and FedEx (FDX[13]).
A-class shares have a hefty 1.74% expense ratio and are subject to a maximum 5.5% sales charge.
[14]YTD Return: +29%
Thanks to the highly aggressive monetary and fiscal policies in Japan — led by Prime Minister Shinzo Abe — the Nikkei has hit a big hill on its roller-coaster ride. Even despite a recent selloff, the index has returned a sizzling 27%.
But small-cap Japanese stocks did the Nikkei one better. Or two, if we're talking about percentage points.
The Fidelity Japan Smaller Companies Fund (FJSCX[15]) fund has returned 29% year-to-date — and that success hasn't wholly just been about riding a crazy bull market. Portfolio Manager Nick Price has racked up a pretty good record in the past three years, posting an average annual return of nearly 15%.
Price focuses on growth companies that are selling at attractive valuations, but also have a catalyst such as a restructuring or implementing of new technologies. That has resulted in top holdings like price-comparison site Kakaku and childcare/nursing product manufacturer Pigeon Corp.
FJSCX is a no-load fund that charges 1.05% in expenses.
[16]YTD Return: -18%
The lead manager of the Templeton BRIC Fund (TABRX[17]) is Mark Mobius, a well-known emerging-market investor with 30 years of experience under his belt. He spends much of his time traversing the globe, speaking with members of many of the companies he invests in.
Unfortunately, all that deep research has been of little help this year. The emerging-market BRIC nations — Brazil, Russia, India and China — have crapped out for all investors, including Mobius.
While Mobius often says investing in emerging markets is for those who have a long-term perspective, the long-term hasn't been all that great for TABRX, either, which has lost nearly 9% on average in the past five years.
Current top holdings include India's Infosys (INFY[18]), China Mobile (CHL[19]) and Brazilian mining firm Vale (VALE[20]). A shares charge a high 2% in expenses, and also are subject to a maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%.
[21]YTD Return: +30%
Money manager Bill Miller — who lost a fortune during the financial crisis by getting aggressive with financials — was thought to be washed up.
Lately, however, Miller has been getting his groove back, as illustrated by the standout returns of the Legg Mason Opportunity Trust (LGOAX[22]).
Miller does extensive research not just on companies, but also industry trends, to uncover big value gaps. To this end, he has benefited from nice moves in the housing sector and airlines, and also scored a big win with his investment in Sprint (S[23]). Currently, LGOAX's top holdings include Genworth Financial (GNW[24]), United Continental (UAL[25]), PulteGroup (PHM[26]) and Netflix (NFLX[27]).
However, Legg Mason Opportunity's performance doesn't come cheap: A shares charge 2.03% in expenses and are subject to a maximum 5.75% sales charge.
[28]YTD Return: -53%
It's no secret that gold has been in free fall. With the Federal Reserve appearing to get more hawkish, the prospects for inflation look slim, and this appears to be taking down gold. Prices have fallen nearly 23% in the second quarter alone.
As one would expect, funds focused on gold and gold miners have gotten absolutely smashed this year. The Franklin Gold and Precious Metals Fund (FKRCX[29]) — which has lost more than half its value since Jan. 1, 2013 — has been no exception.
Portfolio manager Steve Land has a knack for early-stage minors that trade on smaller exchanges, and these have been among some of the hardest-hit companies in the market. Some of FKRCX's holdings include Newcrest Mining (NCM[30]), Goldcorp (GG[31]) and Randgold Resources (GOLD[32]), which have all lost between 35% and 55% year-to-date.
Franklin Gold and Precious Metals' A shares charge 0.96% in expenses and are subject to a max initial sales charge of 5.75%.

On the eve of the biggest women's international stage race in the U.S., the Team TIBCO trailer was broken into and 14 of the Team's Specialized bicycles were stolen. The trailer was parked in the parking lot of the Exergy Tour race hotel parking lot in Boise, Idaho. Thieves stole 6 Specialized Shiv Time Trial bikes and 8 Specialized Amira road bikes. The thieves also made off with a number of Reynolds wheelsets, including Element Disc time trial wheels and special RZR 46s and 92s.
After the devastating burglary, it was uncertain whether or not the TIBCO women would have the necessary equipment to contest the year's most important U.S. women's stage race – the Exergy Tour. Boise Police, race officials and locals worked diligently with the Team and successfully recovered the Team bikes this afternoon at three different locations on the Boise State campus. Police are still working to capture the perpetrators.
The Team would like to convey their most sincere gratitude to the Boise Police for their rapid action to recover the stolen bikes. We would also like to thank the Exergy Tour organization and the greater Boise cycling community for spreading the word, contributing reward money for tips and keeping their eyes open and reporting the locations of the bikes around the Boise State campus. We would specifically like to thank James Carkulis, CEO of Exergy Development Group of Idaho, for his commitment to ensuring the Team TIBCO women had equipment to race on this week, and his commitment to women's professional cycling in supporting this race.
"Without everyone's help, Team TIBCO might have missed an incredible opportunity to participate in the inaugural Exergy Tour," said Team Founder and Manager Linda Jackson. "This is an incredibly important race to the Team and to the sport. It was a potentially devastating situation for the Team, and for the Olympic ambitions of Megan Guarnier. Everyone's support and generosity is truly appreciated. Thank you for supporting Team TIBCO and women's racing in America."
While the upset came on the eve of the Exergy Tour, the Team has regrouped and is focused on moving forward as they prepare for the week's racing.
"The team in Boise is tough and this won't stop them from racing their bikes as best they can," said Team TIBCO captain Meredith Miller. "If nothing else, this will give them even more firepower to prove themselves and their strength."
Over the next five days, the Team will race against the top teams in the sport as they wind through southwestern Idaho covering 195.5 miles with 10,300 feet of climbing.
The Team sends a full squad of eight riders to the Exergy Tour, including Olympic long team members Megan Guarnier and Amanda Miller to contest the general classification overall standings. Additional GC rider Lindsay Myers will be after the young rider's jersey. Three-time track world champion Tara Whitten is a race favorite for the prologue and time trial events. Teammates Jennifer Wheeler, Lauren Hall, Kendall Ryan and Jennifer Purcell will work to organize breakaways and support the Team's GC rider. The Team will take a proactive role in this race as they aim to set up and get into breakaways and deliver their GC rider to the podium.
"I'm very excited about the inaugural Exergy Tour," said Team TIBCO Olympic long team member Megan Guarnier. "The race will feature the world's fastest female athletes in the height of our season."
"With the Exergy Tour's diverse profile of stages and depth of field, Team TIBCO/To the Top will be targeting this stage race as an important international stage race with the benefit of racing in North America," Guarnier added.
The race kicks off Thursday evening with a time trial prologue in Boise at 6:30 p.m. Friday's 76-mile road race will be followed by a 10.4-mile individual time trial on Saturday. The Queen's Stage is reserved for Sunday, where the ladies will challenge an agonizing alpine stage whose climbs touch the clouds at 6000 feet of elevation. The final stage will take the riders around a rolling 46-mile loop on Monday. As the only UCI 2.1-ranked race for women in North America, the Exergy Tour is one of the last opportunities for Olympic hopefuls to earn points to qualify for the London Games.
"The Exergy Ladies Tour is going to be such a competitive event with Olympic points up for grabs," said Team TIBCO young rider Lindsay Myers. "I know the dedication and belief in women's cycling that the organizers are putting into this race will pay off and lead to more world-class events in the U.S. for women."
The Tour is sure to spark interest in women's cycling across America.
"For five days, the show will be all ours when the best women in the world will take to the roads of Idaho to showcase women's cycling, to put on display the determination, passion and talent that is women's cycling," said Meredith Miller. "I hope the Exergy Tour sets the tone for other organizers to build their events in partnership with women's cycling, as its own brand, not as an afterthought."

It took an act of God to be able to call someone other than Darien FCIAC girls volleyball champs this fall.
It happened last night at Ludlowe High in Fairfield, where the Wave took its 11th league title in a row shooting down the Greenwich Cardinals 3-1 to become co-champs.
The someone else is co-champ Ludlowe, because with the league deciding to go with twin-titles due to the Sandy-addled tournament schedule, the Wave will share the conference volleyball Mount Olympus it has long occupied with another for the first time in its reign.
The Falcons fly up to perch beside the Wave as 2012 co-champs downing Stamford 3-0.
Riley Sousa, who has shown more spirit than a mansion-sized haunted house during her career under the net, was named Championship Game MVP.
Darien won 25-16 in the first game, but the scores were reversed and the Wave fell in the second frame.
Then it was clutch play putting the Wave over 25-19 in the third and a blow out of 25-10 in the decider.
Kills — Kelly Kosnik cracked down on 17, and Sousa added 12 as the boards on the floor sighed.
Taylor Cockerill made four kills, Lauren Pryor and Claire Naughton had three apiece, Callan Clasby one.
Clasby and Kathleen Burke scored 12 service points each, Pryor had 11, nine each for Sousa and Kosnik and Cockerill added three.
Burke racked up 34 assists.
Cockerill led with three blocks.
Sousa got into the trenches for 20 digs. Pryor found 14, Kosnik 13, Clasby made 11, Burke 10.
Kosnik received 17 serves, Sousa 14, Clasby 13, Pryor eight.
The top seed Wave (18-0) next plays No. 17 Warde (12-7) in the Class LL second round at states at home 5 p.m. Saturday.

Welp, I was wrong. With a few hours to go, the Pathfinder massively multiplayer online game (MMO) found its way to a million dollar Kickstarter goal. It's amazing what goodwill can do for a company when it comes to raising money, as the average backer kicked in over $100 to see this sandbox game come to reality.
A few backers kicked in thousands of dollars (including one guy for $10,000) for the privilege of contributing to the game. Funny thing is, the MMO doesn't even plan to play like Pathfinder, promising a classless system. Tabletop Pathfinder, based on 3rd edition Dungeons and Dragons rules, is all about developing your character along optimal class lines. Past that, the game promises all the usual things for MMOs still in development: no grinding, meaningful crafting, incredible immersion, and all the rest. When the game goes online, it's certain to have a dedicated fanbase, key to any successful MMO.
It'll be years before the MMO is available for actual play (at least, if it's going to be any good), but there are loads of other goodies promised to backers like miniatures and adventures that are certain to be available long before the computer game. I'm looking forward to a few of these when they appear on game store shelves.
I was hardly alone in underestimating the support for this project (see therpgsite), but I certainly wish them all the best, and will give the game a whirl when it comes out, someday.

Obama Caught In Bald-Faced Lie On Sequester
February 21, 2013 By Daniel Noe 3 Comments
Greta Van Susteren played a montage of political statements on the sequester. From the video, it is clear that the sequester cuts were a product of the White House. It is also clear that Obama continues to get away with a bald-faced lie that the idea was something Congress proposed.
Views: 586
Shoot, I believe Him. He hasn't told a lie yet. Even if he did tell a lie, it most definitely has to be Bush's fault.
Phillip: For certain Bush Jr was head and shoulders above the likes of obummer even tho he unnecessarily invaded Iraq with no means of payment.. I often wonder whether any of the functionaries in washdc have credit cards and whether they pay their bills---or do they just turn in the debits to an assistant who turns it in to the cred card company and they never ever even see a statement......that seems to be the way wash dc does things....no accountability....that paradymn must soon change...The govt we elected needs to resume accountability...If they want to be self serving as in recent past,,,,then I say let them pay themselves....we taxpayers have had enuff...
Check out the Truth of the Sequestre...It only affects the growth of govt spending..the rate of growth...not som hard money reductions...Viva Viva Viva Greta..You would make a great prez with Ann Coulter helping.. Who knows? perhaps the power of prayer will overcome the sleeze in washdc...??
Obama probably couched his rhetoric in vague politically correct terminology... Also Politicians are rarely expected to tell the truth.!!..Since the economy struggles, they get blame...If the econ is good they can do and say as they please...some system....whatever happened to the ten commandments.???
He lies, the Media supports the lie, the left believes the lie, (because they saw it on CNN) he wins!

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Hazel Court, an English beauty who co-starred with the likes of Boris Karloff and Vincent Price in popular horror movies of the 1950s and '60s, has died. She was 82.
Court died at about 12:15 a.m. Tuesday at her home near Lake Tahoe from a heart attack, her daughter, Sally Walsh of Los Angeles, said Wednesday.
While she had a substantial acting career both in England and on American TV, Court was perhaps best known for her work in such films as 1963's "The Raven." She co-starred with Price, Karloff, and Peter Lorre in a Roger Corman take on the classic Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Corman directed her in five movies. Like other "scream queens" of the era, Court's roles often relied on her cleavage and her ability to shriek in fear and die horrible deaths.
"The Premature Burial," "The Masque of the Red Death," "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Devil Girl from Mars" helped propel her to cult status and brought her fan mail even in her later years.
"She'd probably get over 100 pieces of fan mail a month and she would apply to every single one," her daughter said.
Court had finished an autobiography, "Hazel Court - Horror Queen," which will be published in Britain, Walsh said.
The daughter of a professional cricket player, Court was born Feb. 10, 1926, in the English town of Sutton Coldfield. As a teenager, she was appearing in stage productions when she was spotted and signed by the J. Arthur Rank Organisation, which owned movie studios and theaters.
She got her first movie bit part by the time she was 18 and went on to become a popular actress and a pinup girl, her daughter said.
"She was one of the great beauties of all time," Walsh said. "She was a redhead with really green eyes and almost … the perfect face. She was on the cover of almost every magazine."
She appeared in some of the low-budget Hammer horror movies and co-starred with Patrick O'Neal in the 1957 British TV comedy series "Dick and the Duchess." In the late 1950s, she came to the United States to work on the TV show "Alfred Hitchcock Presents."
In addition to her acting career, Court was a commissioned sculptor and painter whose works appeared in public galleries.
"She would go to Italy every year and carve," Walsh said. "She loved stone and the loved the idea of million-year-old pieces of marble."
Walsh said that Court is also survived by another daughter, Courtney Taylor of Ojai; a son, Jonathan Taylor of Reno, Nev., and two step-daughters Anne Taylor Fleming of Los Angeles and Avery Taylor of San Francisco.

I have to admit I'm not a big fan of rock anymore, but once in a blue moon a song will catch my ears that I'll just have to listen to over and over again. This one happens to be from Kings Of Leon.

NBC's "Today" is turning to newborns for a programming stunt this week. Dubbed #BornTODAY, the stunt features correspondents and camera crews in maternity wards across the country tuning in as babies are being born, in some cases live, on-air.
Take this report from Janet Shamlian, who asks the new mother how she is doing after giving birth just seconds earlier "Look at that camera and tell us!" before giving her a "Today" onesie.
"Today" says it will examine all aspects of having and raising babies over the course of the week. As funny as it seems, it actually isn't a new idea. ABC's "Good Morning America" famously had a programming stunt it called "Baby Oh baby!" in 2001 and again in 2011. The network had crews and correspondents cover a maternity ward for 24 hours, and covered the birth of 41 children.

Source: Egypt to fly Palestinians abroad after swap
Egypt's government is stepping up security at Cairo airport as it prepares to fly Palestinians freed under a prisoner exchange with Israel out of the country, an Egyptian intelligence source said Tuesday.
Hundreds of Palestinians are being freed in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit under the deal between Gaza's Hamas Islamist rulers and the Israeli government.
Cairo airport raised security to emergency level as it prepared to transport 40 of the Palestinians to three countries as part of the swap deal, the intelligence source said.
The source said the prisoners were being sent to Turkey, Syria and Qatar and that their travel formalities were being overseen by Hamas leader Khaled Meshaal.
A Turkish foreign ministry official confirmed that Turkey had agreed to receive some of the prisoners because it would contribute to peace in the region.
"As we have always said, we're looking at this issue as a humanitarian issue," the Turkish official said. "Our contribution to this agreement will be to receive a group of Palestinians in Turkey."
A plane would be sent to Egypt to fly the Palestinians to Turkey, the official said on condition of anonymity, without giving further details.

Sam is using Windows Live Photo Gallery, which is a free download that you can get HERE (you will need a Windows Live ID to sign in). When I first heard of this application, I thought it was just a way of viewing photos. Little did I know just how wrong I was.
Not only does Live Photo Gallery index all your photos and show the particular details each image. It also draws together a number of digital imaging tools into one place. As with many programmes, you can make a range of simple adjustments to your images to alter the colour, brightness or size. If you need to carry out more complex editing, you can open the image directly into your preferred photo editing software.You can select and publish collections of photos to online albums and Flickr. Emailing images is very simple, with a great function that allows you to reduce the size of the images before you post. (Read this post to get an idea of how much I like this feature.) There is also a simple slideshow feature. But it's the Make and Extras features that really make manipulating digital images child's play.
From the Make menu you can select a number of photos and easily make a movie using Windows MovieMaker, where you can add a soundtrack, titles and commentary. The Make menu is also where you go to post photos to a blog or burn them to a CD. And it's here where you will find the Create a Panoramic Photo command that Sam uses in the advert. For once, something that is that easy to do in an advert is easy to do in real life. I made this panoramic view from my office window during the recent snow, and it took only seconds to create.
Window Live Photo Gallery also draws into it two of our favourite applications on the Innovative Teachers Network, Photosynth and AutoCollage. Don't have AutoCollage? Get it for free for your school at the UK Innovative Teachers Network. (Kristen's blog from earlier this week explains this in detail.)
When installed, both applications appear on the Extras menu. Simply by selecting your photos and then clicking on either of these applications, you can create a synth or collage in a matter of moments.This will save you so much time in lessons, making it much easier for students to see the images they have collected and make decisions about best images to use. Imagine how cool this would be on an interactive whiteboard, with multiple students being able to work collaboratively on a collection of images.
It's likely that other photo application will be able to be added to the Extras menu, so it is worth checking back to see what becomes available. At the moment, the only other application available is Microsoft Image Composite Editor, which is a more advanced photo stitching application. So if you crave more control over your panoramic images than what Windows Live Photo Gallery gives you, download this add-in.
Windows Live Photo Gallery has changed the way I access my photos on my computer, and I think it will make any classroom activities using digital photos so much more productive and rewarding for you and your students. It has also changed the way I take photos; now that I know I have easy access to a variety of tools, I am taking more images specifically to create panoramas, synths and collages. I suspect your students will begin to do the same.
I'm Stuart and I am a PC!

Newcastle head coach Steve McClaren held talks with managing director Lee Charnley on Wednesday and remained in his job.
Reports have claimed the pair discussed the team's troubling situation over the telephone before McClaren, who had taken training for the second successive day, left the Darsley Park training headquarters and headed home.
It was suggested McClaren and Charnley were to hold showdown talks at St James' Park, but a face-to-face conversation did not materialise.
What was said between the two men remained unclear and the club did not comment, although 54-year-old McClaren was wearing a broad smile as cameras captured him walking towards his car.
The saga surrounding his position seemed set to extend into a fifth day since a 3-1 home defeat by Bournemouth left the club in desperate Barclays Premier League relegation trouble and saw fans turn on McClaren in a concerted fashion for the first time.
McClaren will be aware of reports claiming the club have placed former Real Madrid, Liverpool and Chelsea boss Rafael Benitez at the top of a list of candidates to replace him, with just 10 games of the season remaining and the club 19th in the table.
However, McClaren remained in charge of preparations for Monday night's trip to leaders Leicester and was due to take training again on Thursday.

LUBBOCK, Texas, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- A Texas woman who put her late husband's gold ring in a Salvation Army kettle says she got it back after another donor matched its value.
Shelie Bavo Williams told the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal she had put the ring in the kettle anonymously Monday, along with a note describing the gold ring with a small diamond, a Christmas greeting and one of her husband's favorite sayings: "Don't take any wooden nickels."
"I gave the ring a kiss when I dropped it in the kettle, thinking I would never see it again, but I knew it was going to benefit the Salvation Army and those that they help," said Williams, who had been making an annual donation each Christmas since her husband Victor Bravo died of cancer on Dec. 23, 2006.
But after word about the ring got out, appraised at $250, an anonymous donor came forward with a donation so it could be returned to Williams. Salvation Army staff had kept the saying about wooden nickels secret to assure the right person got the ring back, the newspaper said.
"She gave us the quote, and we knew it was her right off the bat," said Justin Eatherly, the charitable organization's community relations and development director in Lubbock.
Williams, who was short on cash this year, said she decided to donate the ring, which she had given her husband on their first Christmas together, after remembering one of his other favorite phrases, "you can't take it with you when you go."
"It was weighing heavy on my heart because I didn't feel like I had enough money to donate," Williams said. "But I had something more valuable than money in the bank
"There wasn't a name on what I typed because it wasn't about me. It was about rekindling the reason for the season.
"People question God's love sometimes and why he puts us through things like a family member's death, but sometimes it makes us stronger. God never puts us through things we can't handle. We're meant to learn from the experiences that God puts us through, and we're then given the opportunity to pay it forward to someone else in their time of need."

Ending what was a rough week for the incumbents, it looks like Bell Canada is stepping up to the plate against the recent CRTC ruling that would allow smaller internet providers room on the broadband networks of the Big Three.
Bell said that it would appeal the decision passed down by regulators on Monday. They're taking the fight to cabinet just like they did when the CRTC made a similar decision in 2008. That time, the federal cabinet ruled in favour of Bell and the CRTC was sent off to "reconsider" the ruling.
"Cabinet accepted our appeal and asked the CRTC to look at this again," said Mirko Bibic, Bell Canada's executive vice-president of regulatory affairs. "I am astonished at how the CRTC can come back and give cabinet the very same decision that cabinet asked them to look at again. We are certainly going to be making our views well known."
Cabinet will have 90 days to rule on the decision.
Bell's Bibic claims that the decision, if allowed to stand, will negatively impact the company's decision-making process when it comes to future investments in upgrades to their networks. Bibic says that the "right conditions" must exist in order for his company to see returns on investment. The notion here is that Bell won't be able to afford to "do more" in terms of network upgrades and, as a result, the industry will stagnate.
It's a similar power play to the game the Big Three typically trot out when they are ordered to generate advanced services for rural communities. Bell, Telus and Rogers complain about having to prop up the smaller companies and, as a result, not being able to invest in the infrastructure that they normally would were they not "babysitting" the small ISPs or providers. It's a game that keeps Canada's telecom sector reliant on the Big Three and it's somewhat akin to blackmail.
The ruling from the CRTC in this case says that Bell must open up their lines between switching stations in neighbourhoods and homes. They can charge 10% more by way of mark-up, which serves as a sort of concession for the "good will" of the incumbents to let the new guys use the existing lines. For a new company, especially a small ISP, putting new lines into neighbourhoods proves difficult and complicated – especially considering the existing lines from, you guessed it, Bell, Telus or Rogers.
The CRTC's ruling on the lines is that not only must they be made available but they must be entirely available. No limiting of the possible speeds or services available.
With Bell's appeal already in the works, it's doubtful that such a ruling will go through. Cabinet will probably once again side with the incumbents and the incumbents, for their part, will dangle the investment carrot yet again. Business will continue as usual for Canada's telecommunications sector, with the Big Three's stranglehold on consumers still intact.

Hello, I just got caught with my first major offense, this occurred in Whiting, Indiana, I got a DUI, hit two parked cars, fled the scene and had no insurance. I just moved back to Illinois the week prior but did not switch anything over yet, meaning my car and DL. The arresting officers arrested me a few blocks down outside of the vehicle, I gave myself up without hesitation. The officers had me take a breath test about a hour after the arrest in which I blew a 1.0. The cars I hit have somewhat minimal damage, one has a cracked fender and the other just scrapes. I have no major offenses on my record. I'm a pizza delivery driver, driving off the clock of course, so I would hope to receive a hardship license to be able to pay for any costs and fines. What should I be expecting in court ?

My Mom was diagnosed with anal cancer (squamous) in mid December. She started chemo and radiation on January 18th. She says the Dr's say she is between stage 2 and 3. She had one week of chemo (the kind you carry with you in a pouch) and her second week is set to start on February 15th. She seemed to tolerate the first round of chemo pretty well. Some mild nausea but the meds they prescribed seemed to take care of that. She has some mouth sores. Rinsing with baking soda and salt in water has helped and she doesn't seem to be too bothered by them. Monday, 1/31 is her 10th radiation treatment. She has been 100% incontinent of bladder for years as a result of two strokes that she had 15 years ago and for the last two months she has also had bowel incontinence. Because of the incontinence, she wears depends and a large pad and waterproof incontinence underpants all the time. So she started this process with a red bottom. She is on Coumadin and she has Factor V Leiden which is a fairly common blood disorder that effects the clotting of the blood. She was told that blood issues can complicate chemotherapy. She lives independently and she is with it cognitively. I have been able to take 8 or 9 weeks of Family Medical Leave to stay with her and help her through treatment.

Hello and welcome, Your mom has been through a lot. I think that the drs wouldn't put her through this treatment if they didn't think it was safe for her. She must be one strong little lady. Is she able to have sitz baths to sooth the area? The radiologist should recommend a cream or ointment to use after having radiation, never before because it will cause more burning. I used bag balm (used on cow utters). I would take a bath, go get zapped and come home and put that on. It was very helpful. Also pain medication. Your a good daughter to be there for her, and I hope she will have minimal issues. Lori

Dear Smyrk--
I'm sorry to hear of your mom's diagnosis. Thank goodness she has you to help her through this. As her caregiver, you will need some support yourself, so please come here as often as needed. We are here to help both of you. I wish your mother all the best.
Jan 31, 2011 - 11:29 am
As just having finished treatment myself, this forum is the best support one could ask for. Your mom will get through this given all she has been through. I also recommend sitzbath. Aveeno Oatmeal sitzbath did the trick for me. I did it 2-3 times a day and did a whole bath... just feels good to be warm and nurtured. She is lucky to have you. My mom was with me to care for me, cook good meals etc. We are here all the way through!
Jan 31, 2011 - 8:33 pm
I feel very supported by this community. Thank you so much. I read the posts to my Mom and I know they are comforting to her. Today she saw both her Radiologist and her Oncologist. She's doing good in the radiation department, the burning hasn't kicked in yet. Today was her 10th radiation treatment....1/3 of the way there. Her Oncologist is also a Hematologist which is good because she has a blood disorder and she is on Coumadin. Her blood levels were off and her platelets were very low (they were 20). I don't know much about this but the Dr. seemed quite concerned. She is getting a blood transfusion and a platelet transfusion early tomorrow morning. This is the second blood transfusion she has needed and the first time she has needed a platelet transfusion. She seems to be taking is all in stride. I think after living for 84 years she has learned how to take things one day at a time. Thank you again for your support!
Feb 01, 2011 - 10:28 am
Thanks for the update on your mom. It sounds like she's doing pretty well, despite the issues with her blood. I certainly hope that will continue to be the case. Please keep us posted!
Feb 02, 2011 - 4:07 pm
Feb 02, 2011 - 6:59 pm
Hello Smyrk - just putting in a few words of my own in here. I'm sorry that your mom has to go through this, she has gone through enough. She sounds like a very strong woman and is very lucky she has you there to supp1ort and care for her. Come in here whenever you or she needs support and caring words. This group is the best. I'm six months out from treatment and many many days I was in here filling up with the support and caring and love and advise everyone had to give. It really helps. Keep us posted and I will also keep you and your mom in my thoughts and prayers. Marilyne

Jamie Jones-Buchanan admits Leeds will need to match Warrington's energy and enthusiasm in Saturday's semi-final if they are to avoid more Tetley's Challenge Cup misery.
The 33-year-old back-rower was part of the Rhinos sides that lost to Wire in the 2010 and 2012 finals, two of six defeats in the showpiece since the Headingley club last won the cup in 1999.
The make-up of the Wolves squad has changed since the last of those victories, with Lance Todd Trophy winners Lee Briers and Brett Hodgson retiring and Garreth Carvell and Adrian Morley moving on to pastures new.
Those departures left Warrington with a relatively inexperienced squad at the start of this season and it showed as they lost six of their first 11 Super League fixtures.
Tony Smith's men went on to win 10 matches in a row in all competitions following their shock defeat at Bradford in May, including a thumping victory over Leeds which has left the Rhinos in no doubt as to what to expect at Langtree Park.
"I think one of the key ingredients for Warrington is their energy and enthusiasm. What they are missing in experience they've certainly replaced with enthusiasm," said Jones-Buchanan.
"They're a great offloading side and are one of these teams that can play with structure or can just play off the cuff.
"If you look to break rugby league down into different aspects of a game, Warrington are eight, nine, 10 out of 10 in all of them.
"I think their league form says they've been a little bit up and down but when they've been at their best this year, they've definitely been as good as they have in the past.
"When they're playing nine or 10 out of 10, which they're very much allowed to do this weekend, they're a phenomenal side.
"They're no strangers to winning Challenge Cups and a lot of their team are still there now. They know what it's like to feel that and I'm sure they'll want to try and get that for their group of young players that are coming through. It'll be a really good challenge for us."
One of those youngsters is Gene Ormsby, a 21-year-old winger who made his Wire debut against Leeds at Headingley Carnegie in February.
He was a try-scorer last Friday as Warrington bounced back from two successive defeats to beat Catalan Dragons 26-24 in the south of France.
An under-strength Rhinos side fell to a shock defeat at home to Bradford Bulls on the same evening, but Ormsby is not fooled by that result.
"Leeds are a great side and you have to be ready physically and mentally to take them on," he said.
"We're aware that they rested a few players at the weekend but we won't be focusing on that. We'll be concentrating on our own game and what we need to do to get the job done correctly.
"Being in the semi-final of the Tetley's Challenge Cup means so much to me. I'm 80 minutes away from playing at one of the best stadiums in the world in my debut year for the Wolves."
Matty Russell, Micky Higham, Ryan Atkins and Ben Westwood are set to return to boost Warrington after they sat out the victory over Catalan.
Leeds, who sit two points above the fifth-placed Wolves in third spot in Super League, also welcome back a host of star names including Kevin Sinfield, Jamie Peacock, Ryan Hall and Kallum Watkins.
