The parents of a newlywed American couple involved in a fatal crash near Waitomo Caves have arrived in New Zealand.
Kallan Stithem, 31, was killed when the couple's car collided with a truck at the Waitomo Caves turn-off on State Highway 3, between Otorohanga and Te Kuiti, on Thursday.
Mr Stithem's wife of four days, Kirsten Steinke, 28, remains in a critical condition in Waikato Hospital's intensive care unit.
The couple were in New Zealand on their honeymoon.
Gary and Jean Stithem and Jim and Gerri Steinke, all from Denver, Colorado, arrived in New Zealand on Friday morning, the Waikato District Health Board said.
In a statement, the parents thanked all those who responded to the crash.
"We also want to express our heartfelt appreciation for the generous offers of assistance from New Zealanders who understand our sorrow and tragedy. The enormous generosity of so many people of this nation has touched our hearts," the parents said.
Police say the car failed to give way as it was leaving Waitomo Caves Road, turning right into the path of a northbound truck.

Assessing the effect of public policy on worker absenteeism
We analyze the effect of economic incentives on worker absenteeism, using panel data on work absence for 1990 and 1991 with a sample of 1,396 Swedish blue-collar workers. During this period Sweden implemented major reforms of both its national income replacement program for short-term sickness and income taxes. Both affected the worker's cost of missing work. Our econometric model allows for state-dependent dynamic behavior and control for unobserved heterogeneity. The latter proves to be an important consideration. We find that the cost of being absent significantly affects work absence behavior.

Voodoo Circle | More Than One Way Home
by Justin Gaines
– News Editor / Senior Journalist —
German melodic hard rock/metal band Voodoo Circle is back with their third album, titled More Than One Way Home. Voodoo Circle is, of course, the side project of former Silent Force (and current Primal Fear) guitarist Alex Beyrodt, who is joined by vocalist David Readman (Pink Cream 69), bassist Mat Sinner (Primal Fear, Sinner), drummer Markus Kullmann (Dezperadoz) and keyboardist Jimmy Kresic (Kiske/Somerville).
If you picked up one (or both) of the two previous Voodoo Circle albums, you probably have a good idea what to expect from More Than One Way Home. Well, you at least may think you do. Sure, the trademarks of Voodoo Circle's sound are still in place here. This is a blues-influenced, very melodic album that straddles the line between hard rock and heavy metal, and it features Alex Beyrodt's dazzling guitar work and David Readman's electrifying vocals. The twist with this album is that More Than One Way Home is essentially a Whitesnake album. Not just that it sounds a lot like Whitesnake. This album sounds so much like a lost Whitesnake album it's downright eerie.
To put it in the right context, More Than One Way Home could be a long lost Whitesnake album recorded between 1987 and Slip of the Tongue. It's got that total blues rock base, but it's ultra melodic and polished, and even the song titles and lyrics are pure Whitesnake worship. "Tears in the Rain" is a dead ringer for "Cryin' in the Rain," and "Heart of Babylon," "The Saint and the Sinner" and "Victim of Love" are all shout-outs to classic 'Snake tunes. Beyrodt performs brilliantly here, serving up irresistible melodies and wicked, soulful solos, and his bandmates match him with flawless rhythms and dynamic keyboards (that often replicate the old Hammond sound). It's Readman though who really seals the deal. If you were wondering why he sounded so subdued on Pink Cream 69's latest (Ceremonial), it may be because he gave 110% to this album. There are times when he brings the kind of power and energy we know best from PC69 albums like Electrified and Sonic Dynamite, but for the most part he's in full-on David Coverdale mode. From his low, soulful croon to a full-throated scream, he does so well that somewhere in Norway Jorn Lande is listening to this and thinking, "Damn, this guy sounds like Coverdale!"
More Than One Way Home is easily the best thing Voodoo Circle has released so far, and it slides straight to the top of this year's Top Ten list (sure it's early, but still). Sure, it's not the most original sounding album, but when it's presented this brilliantly that's a very minor complaint. If you're into hard-hitting melodic metal that's both bluesy and soulful, this is a must-have album. And if you're a Whitesnake fan, prepare for sheer bliss!

"Then Waring told of the card. The banker said : 'Let me see it. From what was it taken, did you say?'

BCA's contribution in shaping the future of the nation
JAKARTA, 2 October 2012 - Since 2004, Bank Central Asia (BCA) has been a high-value strategic partner for UNICEF Indonesia in striving for children's rights. Similarly to previous years, as proof of its commitment and dedication in shaping the future of a better Indonesia, this year BCA has committed to support the funding of UNICEF Indonesia's integrated Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme.
Global research indicates that a lack of comprehensive early childhood services have layered consequences, such as lower capacity for children to finish school, higher rate of repeating a school year and primary school drop outs, increased tendency to commit crime in adulthood, as well as lower future income.
Of the 32 million Indonesian children aged 0-6 years, more than a third (around 20 million children) does not receive any early stimulation services. Half of those with access to the services live in urban areas – a true testament of the existing disparity between the urban and rural populations.
The coverage of ECD programmes are as follows:
Public awareness of the importance of comprehensive and integrated early childhood services are still relatively low, partly due to the government's strong focus on the compulsory 9-year basic education. Therefore, it is necessary to cooperate with the private sector in order to develop quality human resources in Indonesia, which starts from the earliest age group possible.
Let us unite for the future of Indonesian children and this nation!

Microsoft announces expanded resources through YouthSpark initiative
Microsoft reaches more than 100 million youth to date through nonprofit partnerships and technology access and education.
Sep 23, 2013, 10:00 ET from Microsoft Corp.
REDMOND, Wash., Sept. 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Microsoft Corp. on Monday announced the availability of new and expanded technology education and skills training programs for youth as the company marked the first year of progress and impact of its global Microsoft YouthSpark initiative. Building upon the opportunities created for 103 million youth during its first year, Microsoft is increasing access to computer science education through expansion of TEALS — Technology Education And Literacy in Schools — and providing an enhanced digital literacy and technology skills curriculum through its Microsoft YouthSpark Hub.
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20000822/MSFTLOGO)
"Working with our nonprofit partners around the world, we see how technology education can be a great equalizer of opportunity and employment for youth," said Lori Forte Harnick, general manager, Citizenship and Public Affairs at Microsoft. "Whether it is basic digital literacy or computer science engineering, there is a positive impact for young people of all ages and geographies when they have greater access to technology education. We are enhancing YouthSpark to provide that greater access."
According to a new report released today by the International Youth Foundation (IYF), the global youth unemployment rate is expected to reach 12.8 percent by 2018. As the technology sector continues to drive economic growth, youth with ICT skills will find themselves better qualified for new employment and entrepreneurial activities. According to Code.org, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts that half of the STEM jobs in the U.S. will be in computing occupations, with more than 150,000 job openings annually, making it one of the fastest-growing fields in the country. In addition, these jobs pay 75 percent more than the national median annual salary and span a breadth of industries, with two-thirds of computing jobs in sectors other than information technology, including manufacturing, defense, heath care, finance and government. Globally, according to the study "Connecting to Work" from The World Bank, in India, for example, jobs in the ICT industry pay up to twice what service-sector jobs pay, whereas in the Philippines an entry-level tech job pays, on average, 38 percent more than minimum wage.
"A global approach to youth development is essential for long-term, worldwide economic growth, and providing access to advanced IT skills and education should be a critical element of that approach," said Bill Reese, president and CEO of the International Youth Foundation. "At IYF, we believe we have a responsibility to young people around the world to answer and echo their call for a broad-based, international strategy to address issues that affect their present and future lives and to help them harness their own passion and innovation to build brighter futures."
To give youth a head start in gaining critical technology skills that are required for today's jobs, Microsoft launched on Monday a new game-based and interactive digital literacy curriculum for Microsoft Office 2013 on the YouthSpark Hub. Through this online curriculum youth around the world have free access — anytime and anywhere — to learning the basics of word processing, spreadsheets, presentations and databases. The YouthSpark Hub also includes training materials and instructional resources from Microsoft partners, such as Khan Academy and the Sprout e-course from TakingITGlobal.
For young people who are ready to take the next step in their technology education, Microsoft is building and expanding computer science education in many countries. In the U.S., Microsoft's TEALS expansion will nearly double the number of high schools where software engineers are voluntarily partnering with in-service faculty to teach basic and Advanced Placement computer science courses. The expansion of the TEALS program now includes 70 schools in 12 states with 280 volunteers that will teach 3,000 students during the 2013–2014 school year.
Since the launch of YouthSpark in September 2012, Microsoft has created new education, employment and entrepreneurship opportunities for 103 million young people around the world. In partnership with 186 youth-serving nonprofits and through its own programs and products, such as Office 365 for Education, Skype in the Classroom, Partners in Learning, Microsoft DreamSpark and DigiGirlz, Microsoft has expanded digital inclusion and access to technology and training for 78.6 million youth; inspired and empowered 14.9 million future innovators through tools, mentorships and events; and increased employability and entrepreneurial skills opportunities for 9.9 million young adults.
"As we have worked with young people on their most critical challenges throughout the year, we have been inspired by their leadership and passion to seize these opportunities to enhance not only their own lives, but also the world around them," Harnick said. "For this reason, we see a strong correlation between youth development and global economic growth and believe there is great value in investing in youth as a critical path toward investing in the future."
About Microsoft YouthSpark
Microsoft YouthSpark is a global initiative that aims to create opportunities for 300 million youth in more than 100 countries by 2015. This companywide initiative includes Citizenship and other company programs that empower youth to imagine and realize their full potential by connecting them with greater opportunities for education, employment and entrepreneurship.

Company employees have a key role to play in facilitating office sustainability drives.
That's according to Rodolphe d'Arjuzon, global head of research for Verdantix, an analyst firm specialising in energy, the environment and sustainability challenges.
Writing for guardian.co.uk's Professional Network, Mr d'Arjuzon says that while sustainability measures might still be a talking point at executive level, putting them into practise requires careful planning and the support of the entire workforce.
"Employees are on the front line of any business. Getting them to do something as simple as putting paper in a recycling bin all adds up when carbon emissions, waste, water consumption or energy use are concerned," he explained.
While Mr d'Arjuzon readily accepts that not all workplaces are the same, he said that breaking down sustainability projects into four distinct categories can help guide companies – with the help of their employees.
Strategy comes first, he says, and this involves figuring out who in the workforce is genuinely interested in creating positive changes. Part of this process could be to convince the eco-cynics why using office recycling bins, or turning off monitors, is good for their own sense of social responsibility as well as the company and environment.
Next is communicating the business strategy; perhaps electing members of the workforce to be the green team of the office: "Green teams are a regular feature in businesses' sustainability strategies," Mr d'Arjuzon explains. "Volunteers take the lead, keeping tabs on office recycling or energy use, for example."
The popularity of so-called green representatives is gaining ground in UK businesses if evidence by the Trades Union Congress (TUC) is anything to go by. Over 1,300 reps replied to a survey of green initiatives in the workplace in 2009, says tuc.org.uk; a number which will well have increased by today.
Making the processes for change easy is another key objective, the expert continued. Sharing a car to work is just one green idea, easily implemented. Finally, motivating employees to encourage one another and monitor their process, is the final step.
Mr d'Arjuzon says: "Tapping into what motivates employees can help push sustainability strategies forward – as long as you find the right approach. Social media and game culture are two ways of encouraging employees to share progress and communication on sustainability."

Red Bull Arena hosted a historic night of U.S. Soccer on Thursday evening, as forward Abby Wambach smashed the international scoring record set by Mia Hamm of 158 goals when she tallied four in a 5-0 win over Korea Republic in front of nearly 20,000 fans.
From the beginning of the match, the U.S. Women's National Team dominated play and Wambach was the focal point. It only took Wambach 19 minutes to tie Hamm's record with two goals, before scoring her 159th in the 29th minute, heading home a Megan Rapinoe corner kick.
"It's special, not only because I can tell my teammates were trying to get me those goals in the first half, but my family was here, great crowd, great team performance," Wambach said. "I can't say how much I look up to Mia and how amazing the record that she set was. My teammates have put me in all different kinds of positions to score goals, and I can't say it enough. I really through and through believe it in my heart, I'm only as good as my teammates allow me to be … It's a special night."
"Fairy tale night, she couldn't have done it any better, just fantastic," said U.S. head coach Tom Sermanni. "She's a great professional, she's in great shape and she was really determined tonight to go out there and break that record and she did it in great style."
Outside of the performances of Wambach and the U.S. side, the atmosphere was festive around Red Bull Arena with fans of all ages in attendance. We have put together a photo gallery from the match to illustrate some of the sights and sounds of the game. Enjoy!

Good Points
Light, small.
Bad Points
Screen too small, buttons uncomfortable, menus are bulky, people I call reporting bad reception universally at their end, poorly-written manual (nowhere does it tell you first battery charge must be 24 hours). Very difficult to get the back off.

I'm not impressed with the Sony Ericsson T200 mobile phone! After switching over from a Nokia 3390, I found Sony Ericsson's menu system awkward and difficult. Everyone I call says the transmission is cutting in and out all the time or there is static in the background. Buttons have no finesse. They have a bad feel to them, make a clicking/rattling sound that is unpleasant. Looked all through the manual and other literature supplied for instructions on intially charging the battery but found none (24 hour first charge btw). Nothing on this in the manual! I always have to fight to get the back off.

It was actually yesterday, June 21st, but sixty years ago, when the first "modern computer" which in this case is defined as a computer that could store it's own memory, as born i Manchester, England. It's name was Baby.
The Small Scale Experimental Machine, or "Baby", was the first to contain memory which could store a program.The room-sized computer's ability to carry out different tasks – without having to be rebuilt – has led some to describe it as the "first modern PC".Using just 128 bytes of memory, it successfully ran its first set of instructions – to determine the highest factor of a number – on 21 June 1948."We were extremely excited," Geoff Tootill, one of the builders of Baby told BBC News."We congratulated each other and then went and had lunch in the canteen."Mr Tootill, and three other surviving members of the Baby team, will be honoured by the University and the British Computer Society at a ceremony in Manchester.bbc
In other news:A Las Flores, California 18 year old high school student could be in prison until he is 56 years old for hacking/cracking the school's computer, changing his grades, other student's grades, and changing his AP scores.One wonders how you get 38 years of confinement for such a thing? I'm guessing a combination of the Patriot Act and the fact that this student is an immigrant with a terroristic sounding name (Omar).

More importantly it mostly works (though not with the new version of Microsoft Hotmail … Microsoft will have to get working on that). Anyway, here's a study of the qualities of the new relese.

Gay athletes chosen to carry Olympic flame
Chairman of the London's gay rugby team, Tim Sullivan, and chair of Gay Football Supporter's Network, Chris Basiurski, selected from over 37,000 nominations for London 2012 glory
Tim Sullivan, chairman of London's gay rugby team King's Cross Steelers, and Chris Basiurski, chair of Gay Football Supporters' Network (GFSN), have been selected to carry the Olympic torch in the London 2012 torch relay.
Both athletes have been actively involved in London-based gay sports teams for many years.
Basiurski has played with London-based gay football team Leftfooters. He also sits on the FA Tackling Homophobia in Football Working Group and recently met the prime minister at a reception in Downing Street to talk about diversity in sport.
'I am delighted and humbled at being chosen to carry the Olympic flame,' says Basiurski. 'For many years LGBT footballers have been on the fringes of society and at the GFSN we have worked hard to send out the message that football is for all regardless of sexual orientation'.
GFSN is a network for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender footballing community that tackles homophobia in football and campaigns for equality and diversity in the game.
Sullivan, who led the East London-based Steelers last year to become the European champions in gay and inclusive rugby, now has two exciting goals to look forward to this summer.
'The Steelers are playing in the Bingham Cup – gay rugby's world cup – in Manchester this June,' explains Sullivan. 'Carrying the Olympic torch is great, but my real target is to see the team's captain lift up the Bingham Cup this summer'.
Although nominally a gay team, the King's Cross Steelers welcome all men who are committed to paying rugby, whatever their sexual orientation and level of experience.
Visit the Gay Football Supporter's Network website and the King's Cross Steelers website for more information about them.

2017 Vision Quest Program
The Four Directions programs are designed to support full engagement in your personal, work and community life. These tools are cross-cultural and can be applied in any environment where leadership, wellbeing, creativity and wisdom are valued.
In 2017 we're excited to offer a Vision Quest experience during the third gathering of the four-session program. We hope you can join our community of practice."In many shamanic traditions, optimum health is considered to be the equal expression of these archetypes. Indigenous peoples consider it vitally important to be balanced in all four areas: leading, healing, visioning, and teaching. For most people, however, this balance is far from reality." -ANGELES ARRIEN
In her seminal book, The Four-Fold Way, Angeles Arrien provides an ancient, cross-cultural map for living a healthy, balanced life. She identifies four archetypes: the Leader, Healer, Visionary and Teacher. Each archetype corresponds to a cardinal direction. Each direction contains a set of practices synthesized from worldwide shamanic traditions.
The Four Directions programs are intended to deepen our knowledge, and application of these practices. Whether you are new to this work or a returning student, the programs are designed to support deep personal congruence and greater harmony with others and our world. Patrick O'Neill is a management consultant and teacher with an international client base. He taught with Angeles Arrien for twenty years and is committed to carrying on the work that Angeles pioneered.
The Four Directions 2017 Vision Quest Program is held in California as follows:The North: February 4/5 – Marin County, CA
The South: April 22/23 - Marin County, CA
The East: June 7 – 11 – Vision Quest at Four Springs Retreat, Middletown, CA
The West: October 21/22 – Marin County, CA
THE NORTH – The Warrior
The North (Winter) is devoted to the practice of leadership and the wise use of power. The powers of presence, action and communication are the foundations of leadership. We will explore the principles and applications of personal leadership and group leadership. The practices of the North help us show up, make positive contributions to our families and communities and avoid the abuses of power that plague our times._________________
THE SOUTH – The HealerThe South (Spring) is devoted to the healing power of love. The practices of the four-chambered heart - full, strong, open and clear - is humanity's most powerful healing salve. These perennial wisdoms support us to be in right relationship with others, our world, and ourselves. South work helps us choose compassion over fear; cooperation over divisiveness; forgiveness over retaliation. _________________
THE EAST – The Visionary – Vision Quest
The East (Summer) is devoted to vision and our life dream. This is the home of the authentic self, of truth telling without blame and our gifts and talents. Summer is the time for dismantling the false-self system and of releasing patterns of indulgence and denial. The East supports us to drop fixed perspectives and open to expanded vision.This is the Vision Quest period. It is a five-day experience that includes four days and four nights supervised camping on the land. Self-care and personal safety is the order of the day. _________________
THE WEST – The Teacher
The West (Fall) is devoted to loving detachment and gathering wisdom. To do this, we must become comfortable with uncertainty and learn to trust. The fall is associated with shedding. The West teaches us about letting go of being positional, judgmental and controlling, the barriers to wisdom. We become more flexible and fluid when we are open to outcome. Here we can listen to our own inner guidance in the stillness of the quiet mind. Clarity, objectivity and discernment grow as a result._________________

Yemen's President Blasts Army for Rampant Corruption
Yemen's head of state has blasted the armed forces for rampant corruption and said the government was taking steps to restructure the military.
"The stealing of land and the terrorizing of citizens cannot be met by silence...No one should wear the military uniform except those capable of carrying out their duty," President Ali Abdullah Saleh told graduates at a military ceremony.
Saleh, whose comments were broadcast on state television, said some Yemenis had enlisted in the army to break the law under the cover of their uniforms. He said a decision earlier this month to scrap compulsory military service was taken partly to combat corruption in the army.
Previously, all Yemeni men above 18 could be exempted from the one-year service after paying the equivalent of $300. "The (military service) law was abolished after some people, whether in consulates abroad or local draft offices, used the law as a source of bribes to cheat citizens," Saleh said.
He said the law had been scrapped as part of steps to restructure the armed forces to cope with national and regional changes after Yemen's unification and the resolution of outstanding border disputes with neighboring countries – ADEN (Reuters)

Written on: 25/04/2014 by Hernandezoe435 (1 review written)
The website is very straightforward and easy to use. Makes finding your phone incredibly easy. The quote they give you is the quote for a phone in absolute perfect condition.
The prepaid packaging came in the post very quickly and made the whole process so much easier.
Phone is checked and and estimate is emailed to me within days of receiving the handset.
The one draw back I had is that after the phone is checked they do give you a list of all the scratches and scuffs on the handset. I would have liked an option to be able to describe these before hand so that the estimate could be more accurate prior to sending the phone.
Overall though I would recommend the site to anyone.

Tagged: child theme, custom fonts
Hey Guys I know this is asked a lot. I am trying to impliment a custom font based off of this post
https://kriesi.at/support/topic/ (Purchase code hidden if logged out) -font/
my website is http://www.jackandaddi.com – and I am using a child theme
I have used font squirel to make the files. I have added the @font-face code to my style.css file it looks like this:
@font-face {
font-family: 'claire_handregular';
src: url('clairehandregular-webfont.eot');
src: url('clairehandregular-webfont.eot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'),
url('clairehandregular-webfont.woff') format('woff'),
url('clairehandregular-webfont.ttf') format('truetype'),
url('clairehandregular-webfont.svg#claire_handregular') format('svg');
font-weight: normal;
font-style: normal;
body, body p { font-family: 'clairehandregular-webfont', Arial, sans-serif; }
I then tried to make a basic "ugly" edit to test this. I see the font change but it is changing to arial.
I am guessing I am not putting the 4 font files in the right place. The documentation says to put them by your css files. Dude says to put them in your css directory. (but on the parent theme) If I just make the css directory on my child it doens't work of course. not jsut puttign the files in the child root.
Please explain how I make it work in the child theme setup? were do my 4 font files go?
Can you post the link to your website please?
Dude, sorry but it is in my post already. ;)
oh gees. thank you. that was driving me nuts.
No worries, glad we could help, let us know if you have any more questions or issues :)
oh they are out there. just waiting in line for responses ;)
He-he, we are here to help :)
Best regards,
The topic 'custom fonts help' is closed to new replies.

Kind Of Bizarre?
From Nemo:
It is kind of bizarre when non-vegans claim that there are vegans who are lousy in other aspects of life, even as they are kind to animals; that there are non-vegans who are good in other aspects of life other than choice of consumption (yes, veganism is not just about food but avoiding harm of sentient beings through refrain from using items that involve animal exploitation: experimentation and such).
It is bizarre because vegans in their right minds never ever claim that all vegans are perfect in all aspects of life; or that all non-vegans fare poorly in all aspects of life.
Why should there be a need to choose between being a vegan who is good only to animals, or a non-vegan who is good only to humans? Veganism as a lifestyle that advocates equanimity suggests being good to all beings, including humans and animals.
It is better to be good to more and all beings than just some beings. Simple as that. Well-rounded veganism is a necessary step in this direction. May all beings be well and happy, free from fear and harm.

I hope we go with "register prior to the contest" this cycle. Last cycle we allowed the "wow I placed high enough, I guess I will join the program" method. This cycle the process should be well known.
Please don't take this as a criticism. As a new CD, I want to make certain that our contests get on the schedule and results are posted. And I even have some emails from kind folks pointing out the obvious to me.
I know that if I go thru all 106 pages, that detailed information is contained in there somewhere, what to submit, who to submit it to, how early, how to find the calendar, etc.
Rather than go thru the posts, I thought "it must be on the first page".or a specific reference to where to go. And sure enough, it directs one to "www.F3K.us" and there is lots of good info there.
Could the info for CD's be a bit more obvious and organized? Perhaps along the order of: specific info on completely getting a contest onto the calendar (who to send it to, what format, that sort of thing) and how to report contest results (same kind of info).
For your consideration
And yes, if appropriate, responses that say "it's completely obvious to the most casual observer that the information is _______".
The f3k.us website isn't the best. We are working on getting it updated, I have had some help, but still isn't there yet.
If you email usaf3k "@t" gmail "d0t" com with your request to put something on the calendar and or the results that works very well. Format I like best is Excel but I have even hand typed data in from iphone shots of the score sheets printed at contests if I had to.
Go to F3K.us
go to the USA F3K Events tab
On the left click on the Register Your Event tab
That will bring up a page with the instructions on how to register your event with Oleg.
There is also a tab listing what the up coming events are.
Hope this helps.
Heads up for all contest directors and contest pilots!
I am planning to use Tim Traver's www.f3xvault.com web-site for managing the USA team selection qualification points and USA F3K Tour points in 2014-2015-2016 qualification period. Tim created a new feature on his web-site - now contests can be associated with a series (http://f3xvault.com/?action=series). This allows for automatic calculation of points and standings when a new event is included into a series.
We will have 2 contest series (they are created already but still in flux). One called "2015 - 2016 US Team Selection Qualification Series" and another one called "2014-2015 USA F3K Tour".
What does this mean to you as a contest director? If you are already using www.f3xvault.com for managing your event(s), you are in good shape and there will be almost no changes for you.
CDs will need to create future events on www.f3xvault.com (ask Tim or me for help if needed). Pilots will be able to sign up for the event on the web-site. This is really convenient for everybody - it gives you an automatic pilot registration system, and allows all to see the registrations and later see the live event results.
Tim and I are working on integrating F3XVault and F3KScore program, such that pilot registrations and event tasks can be transferred from F3XVault into F3KScore, for those contest organizers who want to use F3KScore for on-field contest scoring and printing results (this is essential when no live internet connection is available on-field). And vice verse, F3KScore will be able to transfer contest results into F3XVault. This means that during or after an event, contest organizers can update www.f3xvault.com with the event results. This also means that if you don't want to use www.f3xvault.com for registering pilots, you can simply transfer the contest results there after the event.
2014-2016 qualification period started in July 2014. All USA qualification events that happened since then will need to be imported into F3XVault and associated with the above mentioned series. Same for the 2014-2015 F3K Tour series (all contests with 20+ pilots). Tim and I will be working on this and helping all contest organizers to do it.
The two F3K series have been in existence for a while, but not all events are entered, and some are not in F3XVault at all. We need to get all events entered into F3XVault and added to the series so that we can track the qualification points, and USA F3K Tour standings.
The Tour series is empty at the moment.
oops, cannot get a link for it, asking Tim Traver to investigate.
The Qualification series has several events in it, but not all.
If you are a contest director/organizer/scorekeeper or just a pilot who wants his qualification points counted and F3K Tour standings calculated, please do the following (ask Tim Traver for help with any of these steps, copy e-mail to me also). If you are unable to do these steps, at a minimum please send an e-mail to Tim Traver (copy me) with your event name, and attach the F3KScore file, we will enter your data into F3XVault.com.
1. if your event is not listed on F3XVaullt.com at all, create an event there, and (if you used F3KScore program for scoring) import your event scores using "Import Competition" command (see image). you can also enter all scores/times directly into F3XVault.com since it serves as the on-line scoring program itself.
Import is accessed here:
A file with scores is first exported from F3KScore (in the "Export" menu, obviously ),
and then imported into F3XVault via this button:
2. Add your event to "2015-2016 US Team Qualification" series (in the Event Settings page, see image).
If your contest was 2 days and over 20 pilots, add it to "2014-2015 USA F3K Tour" series also.

Response to previous "goof": Please do not bash anime dubbers. They are American, like us, and bashing anime dubbers is like bashing America.
I think I got it! Meta Knight said something about that if people try to claim the sword as their own, they'll get hurt. Kirby wasn't trying to claim the sword, he was trying to protect everybody. Or maybe there's just something that they cut out of the Japanese episode and now the English one doesn't make sense.
And I'm responding to the one saying maybe Kirby has the power to wield Galaxia. Galaxia told Cirica that MetaKnight was the 'chosen one'. Though Kirby may have the power, Galaxia never mentioned Kirby.
how come kirby use the glaxais sword but not Sirica
Kirby sucked up Sword Knight's sword, but it broke when Kirby battled the monster . . . How's he ever gonna get it back? (And watch, next episode he has his sword back . . .)
Response to the above thing-
Maybe Sword has an entire closet full of extra swords. C'mon, his name is "Sword"! It's probably his hobby to collect them or something!
I'm responding to the one referring to Kirby being able to use Galaxia and Sirica not being able to. Meta Knight said that only those who had a certain power could wield the Galaxia sword. My bet's that Kirby has this power too.
This is the episode that have no LoloLo with stand for Fololo and Lalala with stand for Falala
Cirica: It's been a long time, Meta-Knight.
Meta-Knight: You speak as though we have met. Have we?
Villain: Kirisakin. Apparently some sort of mandrill, Kirisakin was the beast that once guarded Galaxia. While the Star Warriors claimed victory when Meta Knight retrieved the sword, Kirisakin claimed Garlude's life. It's easy to see why this purple primate won that fight; he's got razor-edged regenerating scythes for hands, and is quite skilled in both melee combat and swordplay, despite his lack of an actual sword. An intimidating beast indeed, and that's on sight alone.
For anyone thinking Galaxia is the sole "official" Kirby ability to never appear in the games - think again. Galaxia is available (going under the name, "master") after beating the final boss in the new Kirby Magic Mirror game for GameBoy Advance
This episode does not end with the usual star-shaped iris out.
Galaxia Kirby returns - and this time, they colored the Sword Beam green, which is what color it should be, coming from meta Knight's sword.
We learn the history of Meta-Knight's sword in this episode.
Sword Kirby Returns.
Cirica's name in the Japanese version is 'Silica'.
Galaxia Kirby appears for a second time in this episode. Well, we now know why he's called 'Galaxia' Kirby, ne?

It's been a tumultuous week inside the Big Brother microcosm punctuated by catfights, jealousy, bikini days, idle gossip, broken promises and a couple of medical emergencies. Our hamsters even got to read some meager news from the outside world, surely a big step for a show that managed to hide even 9/11 from the house guests. I'm not sure what gave Big Brother the idea that who's leading whom in the presidential primaries was news of such gargantuan proportions that it just had to shared with this cast of dim bulbs. Maybe they just hoped that for once talk would get away from sex, bodily functions and juvenile gossip for twenty whole minutes.
Tonight another couple gets kicked to the curb, reducing by two the number of hamsters in the house thereby making me very happy. I wish the process could be speeded up somehow. Maybe if they stopped feeding them...
Grumblings from the underbelly
In the usual ominous black and white flashbacks we find out nothing that we haven't heard before, but commentary from James reveals that he feels quite assured that Alex and Amanda are on their way out the door, exactly according to his plan. Alex mutters revenge, revenge to himself while proclaiming that he won't campaign against his boy Matty. His boy Matty, on the other hand, just can't see himself taking it all lying down. He will do everything to stay in the house. Meanwhile, Amanda, recovered from her ordeal, was told to eat five meals a day and the house is suddenly very attentive to her dietary needs. Such is life in the Big Brother house. One week you get cursed out by a pack of hyenas, the next week you're being solicitously cared for and hugged at every turn by the same pack of hyenas, who will also vote your ass out at the first opportunity.
I can't believe they made me come back!
Matt campaigns for his safety with Adam who promises him his vote. Watching Matt working out in the backyard with a bikini clad Natalie, whose boobs are threatening to spill out of her top, Allison realizes that they're a very strong team, who might be tough to beat. She muses that this may be the only chance to get them out of the house. Finally, she takes her epiphany upstairs to the HoH room, where all the proponents of the genial Operation Condor listen to her while she tells them that Matt and Natalie have been eating well, working out and are a big threat, whereas Alex and Amanda, who have been on slop all week, are much weaker. Adam declares that he will vote to keep Matt and Natalie anyway because he wants Operation Condor to succeed. I guess there's something to be said for small men and their small plans. However, Allison's idea is being tossed around a bit and James expresses some flexibility saying that he can be persuaded to suspend his grand operation for a week. Allison feels she can get Ryan and Josh and Sharon to fall in line.
Kiss me like Spiderman, Matty!
Matt and Natalie agree to keep up the fight. Natalie campaigns with Josh and Sharon, promising them the moon and the stars and it seems that Josh is persuaded. Ryan thinks Alex and Amanda are gunning for them, however Allison is worried that they might not be able to beat Matt and Natalie in the endgame. If you're still with me, thank you.
Tell me what I want to hear
Finally we hear from Julie who informs us that tonight's vote is live. She wants to know whether Amanda feels a change in the house since she returned. Amanda chirps sweetly that things have been like a big group hug in the house and everyone is just super sweet. Aww! Sheila is asked about her relationship with Allison and she admits that she may have jumped the gun there but has reconnected with Allison since. James is commended for his quick, calm help during Amanda's emergency. More questions follow about the cup deprivation, the lack of hot water and the slop diet.
James and Chelsia sittin' in a tree
Because not enough stuff has been going on in the Big Brother house that is safe for public consumption, we get a canned segment about James and Chelsia and how they're different yet alike. James has no job and travels the world on his bicycle - among other non-PG13 things he does that are not mentioned by Julie but which are easily found through a quick Google search. As we find out though the world according to Big Brother is limited to the USA. James pedaled from LA to Seattle, Seattle to New York, New York to Florida. Small world! His friend, Brian, shows up to say that James is pretty much nuts. Chelsia, on the other hand, was an ice skater, she was in the choir, the science club and a youth task force. Her friend, Jenny, thinks that Chelsia and James could get along well because James is free spirited, while Brian thinks that James is very open and honest. We find out that if Chelsia won she'd donate money to Make A Wish Foundation and she'd bike with James around the world, albeit on a motorbike. Aww! True love will find a way. A highway. Cue the violins.
Julie joins them on video in the HoH room and she immediately wants to know why they promised Matt and Natalie that they won't be put up on the block. James maintains that he made the promise before he became HoH, and after that he was just set on separating Alex and Matt, who are in a strong alliance. He also blindsided Matt and Natalie, so that they wouldn't have a chance to strategize behind James' back. Chelsia has no regrets but sees that other house guest might have trouble trusting them after this episode. Asked about his opinion regarding his house mates, James says that these are shallow, materialistic people who would squander their winnings on shiny objects and have no care for self-discovery. Light some incense! Ohmm! He would use the money to have some fun in LA before going back on the road again. Chelsia feels a connection with James because she's the kind of materialistic girly girl who can still have a beer with the guys. There were no questions about the kind of beer she'd have.
I now pronounce man and wife.
Truth and honesty will get you evicted
Bringing it back to the Living Room, Julie gives a chance to all the nominees to plead for their lives. Amanda wishes to stay because she just wants to and also wishes to stay for Alex who she feels has not made any mistakes. Surprise, surprise Alex does not want to go either and because he's true and real, has stayed true and real, and all that, and he hopes they'll keep him around to continue to be true and real. Truly?
Natalie feels incredibly blessed to be in the house with such awesome people and praised CBS for picking such a great cast. The irony of that statement will probably be lost on most of the innocent viewing public, as it should be. Some things, I tell you, will burn your retina. I would like to take this moment to thank Big Brother for editing the show so prodigiously. Natalie reiterates that she doesn't want to go back to the Beaver State while Alex just prattles about how lucky he is and how he doesn't want to go, or something.
At this point we finally move to the live voting. Each couple will be sent into the Diary Room to vote, where they must agree on their vote or be voted out. Adam and Sheila evict Amanda and Alex; Josh and Sharon vote to evict Alex and Amanda and Ryan and Allison vote to evict Alex and Amanda. Thus by unanimous vote, Amanda and Alex get really lucky and are sent home and far away from a house full of idiots. Some extended weeping and hugging ensue but finally the two walk out the door to meet Julie. Everyone in the house is left weeping and I even hear stuff like we gotta do this for Amanda. Gah! These people are giving me a headache. Again.
Julie talks to Alex first who says that he didn't campaign and being true and real was not appreciated in the Big Brother house and it would not have helped in any case. Duh! Hasn't pretty boy seen the show before? Amanda campaigned vigorously but she also thought that Alex's decision not to go back on his word by campaigning might help them. In the end, she learned the painful lesson that a person's word means nothing in the house. Double duh. The goodbye messages range from Allison's self-centered you hurt my feelings to Matt vowing to revenge his fallen comrade.
Nothing is worse than active ignorance
The action moves to the backyard where the scene is set for the new HoH competition entitled Words of Love. The couples, minus James and Chelsia, are lined up behind podiums equipped with buzzers. Julie will ask questions about the quotes found on the walls of the Big Brother house. They must buzz in when they feel they know the author of the quote. Anyone who buzzes in first with a correct answer will get to eliminate one of the other contestants. If someone buzzes in and is incorrect, he or she will be eliminated. The winner will earn HoH for his or her team. The competition starts off with the girls then it will be the boys' turn. The last man and woman standing will face off for the win. Sheila gets the first three correctly and eliminates Allison, Sheila and Natalie, winning the round. Ryan buzzes in but he's wrong and is out. Josh buzzes in to answer love is a battlefield as being by neither Goethe, Wilde, Shakespeare or Dostoevsky. He eliminates Matt then gets the next question correctly as well and eliminates Adam. Thus there is no need for a face-off and Josh and Sharon win HoH for the second time.
Julie promises that during next week's live eviction, the evicted couple will get a big surprise that supposedly nobody will see coming and a new chapter will begin. Eh. Five bucks says they both get to stay and the couples will be broken up. Call me crazy.
The next show is on Sunday, but why mess up your sure to be wonderful weekend? Try a fresh, crispy and completely organic recap by our own AsheleyPSU instead. It's better for you!

Q. We allow nonexempt (hourly) employees to work from home. Some of them are turning in overtime slips. Do we have to pay them for those self-reported extra hours? — M.T., Maryland
A. Although it is more difficult to monitor time when an employee works remotely, you must pay nonexempt employees for all time worked. Thus, you must rely on the employee to accurately record his or her time and you must accept that time as accurate unless you have evidence to the contrary. You must also pay remote employees for any overtime they work, as self-reported.

Tiny Markets Looking Good
Michael Cirami is big in Serbia, very big.
The portfolio manager at Eaton Vance Corp.'s EV 0.56% $7.7 billion Global Macro Absolute Return Fund has snapped up 12% of the Balkan nation's treasury-bond market, making Serbia the fund's third-largest investment after the U.S. and China this year.
As they flee the euro-zone debt crisis, a growing number of large global bond funds are diving into the shallow debt markets of small countries like Serbia, Iraq and Hungary. The billion-dollar funds dwarf local banks and investors who also purchase the debt, giving them outsize stature in these fringe markets.
With no end in sight to euro-zone turbulence, fund managers like Eaton Vance and Legg Mason Inc. LM -0.34% are shunning bonds of Spain, Italy and even France in favor of small countries with less debt and improving growth prospects. They also are looking to increase returns in their portfolios, most of which include large positions in low-yielding U.S., German and Japanese bonds.
Although it is unclear exactly how much money is flowing away from mainstream Europe into pint-size markets, many investors say the shift is happening and reflects reduced emphasis on analyzing interest rates and monetary policy and more attention paid to the risk that countries might actually default on their debts. In short, size is starting to matter less, while credit quality matters more.
"Generally, investors are going away from core and peripheral Europe and into noneuro-currency countries that have their own fiscal policies that tend to be a lot better," said Michael Collins, a portfolio manager at Prudential Financial , PRU -0.11% which manages about $8 billion of foreign government and corporate bonds.
To be sure, smaller markets tend to be less liquid, meaning that it can take longer to sell out of large positions and that even modest trades can move prices significantly. In the Asian and Russian debt crises of the late 1990s, international investors tried to pull out of emerging-bond markets en masse, sending both bond prices and currencies tumbling.
But systemic crises hit large markets, too, and when they do, liquidity also disappears, Mr. Cirami says, pointing to recent squeezes in Italian and Spanish bond markets.
"Investors need to understand that liquidity is not a constant—it can dry up—and that can be true with larger markets in Western Europe as well," he says.
Mr. Cirami has journeyed to Serbia twice since 2009, but he has been vacationing in the Balkans since 2001, attracted by the radical change transforming the ethnically mixed region. "I'm happy to use my leisure time to supplement the research—I find it interesting to see these places before they turn into the same as everywhere else," he says. Boston-based Eaton Vance has plowed over $450 million into Serbian dinar-denominated treasury bills and bonds, representing 6% of the Global Macro fund.
"In Serbia, we have very high real interest rates and a country that is reforming to become a more standard European country," Mr. Cirami says. Serbia, which has surged economically since the end of its bitter wars with other former Yugoslav nations a decade ago, boasts a debt-to-gross domestic product ratio of 51%, well below Western European averages. And its treasury bonds yield in excess of 10% after adjusting for inflation.
That compares with the 2.66% yield of the Barclays Global Treasury Universal index, a composite of treasury markets across the world with heavier weightings for larger countries. The index includes France and Spain but not Serbia.
Dusan Mikezic, the state secretary of Serbia's finance ministry, says the government has actively sought out foreign investors through roadshows and visits since opening the bond market to them in 2010.
At the same time, the Serbian government keeps tabs on who are the biggest investors in its $3.7 billion treasury-bond market. But Mr. Mikezic doesn't see Eaton Vance's large stake as a risk to its borrowing ability because if the fund manager sold out, "we have demand from other investors." Foreign investors, mostly from the U.S., own about 40% of Serbia's domestic bonds, attracted by the country's slim debt profile and its high interest rates, he says.
Other investors, though, are shying away from big exposures to small markets. "Given the higher degree of vulnerability these smaller countries have to external sources of risk, we don't think it's prudent to be overweight this segment even if [yields] seem attractive at this time," said Robert Awad, who helps manage $35 billion of emerging-market bond investments at Western Asset Management.
While they still may be in the minority, a growing number of investors are finding that those risks aren't as worrisome anymore when compared with Europe's deep-seated problems.
"We'd rather own Hungarian bonds than Spanish bonds," says Steve Smith, portfolio manager of Legg Mason BW Global Opportunities Bond Fund , who has put 4% of his fund in Hungary's treasury market. Hungary makes up 0.1% of the Barclays Global Treasury Universal index.
The increasing likelihood of a bailout agreement between Hungary and the International Monetary Fund have pushed Hungarian bond yields, which decline as prices rise, to around 7% from about 10% last year when Legg Mason first bought in, Mr. Smith says. Hungarian officials began talks with the IMF this week about a €15 billion ($18.44 billion) loan package.
While Hungary's Prime Minister Viktor Orban faces political protests for his authoritarian policies and muzzling of the press, he has delivered on fiscal austerity measures in a way that many Western European leaders haven't, attracting foreign investment to the country, Mr. Smith says.
Some small countries, like Iraq, don't have functioning treasury-bond markets but have sold foreign-currency bonds internationally, giving fund managers another avenue to invest in them.
New York-based Stone Harbor Investment Partners owns more than 5% of Iraq's $2.7 billion in dollar-denominated bonds and controlled even more earlier in the year, says Whitney Cox, a portfolio manager at the firm.
While Ms. Cox has never been to Iraq, she is lured by the rise in the country's oil exports. On Wednesday, crude production was launched at Iraq's giant Halfaya field, the latest development to bolster the country's export potential.
Although Iraq's political situation remains tenuous, it carries very little debt, so it has ample cash to service the bonds, Ms. Cox says.

The day after scoring the winning run in one of the wildest plays in World Series history, Allen Craig is "ready to go" for Game 4 of the World Series and will be available to pinch-hit, St. Louis Cardinals manager Mike Matheny said during his pregame press conference.
According to Matheny, Craig, whose pinch-hit double set the stage for the walk-off run on an obstruction call, remains sore but X-rays taken last night did not reveal any damage to his left foot. He has been dealing with a foot sprain since early September.
Matheny said he did not know whether Craig would be able to progress with his defensive drills at first base.
From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Rick Hummel:
He said he didn't know if the Cardinals' regular first baseman would be able to progress in his defensive drills but Matheny said, "The defensive work is kind of secondary to having him available to have him come in and do what he did last night.
"He looked very good going from home to second. He ran extremely well, as good as we've seen him. I didn't think we were going to need him to do much more running but that changed quickly.
"But I absolutely admire a guy who's giving everything he's got when maybe his body doesn't want to. That's what a competitor does. And that's what this stage does to a competitor."

Kendra Wilkinson plans to televise the birth of her second child, due this summer, on her reality show Kendra On Top. The star says it's no big deal. After all, she knows people want to see her birth story.
"I want it to happen because I've been on TV for 10 years now and I thought if I have another season of my show I want to wow people," Wilkinson told Celebuzz. The soon-to-be mom-of-two went on to opine, "I don't see anything wrong with giving birth on TV."
Wilkinson certainly won't be the first star to share this blessed event with the public, either on TV or via pictures, videos, or tweets. It seems for some moms in the spotlight, sharing intimate moments from their labors and deliveries is natural.
Kourtney Kardashian. The eldest Kardashian sister memorably pulled her son Mason out herself on an episode of her reality show (and did the same a few years later when her daughter, Penelope, was born). I'll admit that after seeing this family so much on TV, the fact that she aired her births seemed totally normal.
Jason Biggs. The American Pie actor and his wife Jenny Mollen shared their birth story via Instagram through a series of photos and videos. Highlights included Mollen getting her epidural and being wheeled into an emergency C-section!
Rosie Pope. Maternity concierge and reality star Pope notably live tweeted her birth back in 2012. Although some criticized her for oversharing, the soon-to-be mom-of-four defended her choice, saying "I wanted to live tweet my birth to share my real side of labor — both the tough parts and the joy."
Teresa Guidice. The Real Housewives of New Jersey star and several other reality moms have almost shared the births of their babies on TV. Typically the cameras will stop rolling just outside the delivery room door. Bethenny Frankel went this route when she delivered daughter Bryn, as did Don't Be Tardy star Kim Zolciak when she welcomed son Kash.
Tori Spelling. This reality mom is not shy to share, well, pretty much anything. Tori let reality show cameras follow her for four pregnancies and even got candid about her scary delivery complications (including a broken C-section incision, yikes!) with her youngest baby, Finn, on an E! special with Giuliana Rancic.
So is sharing the birth of a baby TMI? I'd say in this day and age, no. We are used to seeing pregnant moms on television. Moreover, we are now used to seeing them in the delivery room. Perhaps we even expect to experience the births of their babies with them. I mean, wouldn't it be selfish for Kendra Wilkinson not to film her daughter's birth (insert sarcasm here)?
My only problem with a baby's birth being aired or shared via social media is that I think it takes away from the intimacy of the experience and perhaps even the enjoyment. If you are thinking about where the cameras are, or what to film, or what a tweet should say, are you really, truly in the moment?
I also worry that filming the birth is just for ratings. And, one day when the child grows up, he or she may not appreciate that the birth was so public.
But as Wilkinson says, it is not as if her audience will get to see anything too intimate about the birth of her daughter.
"We're planning the C-section, so you'll be seeing blood and guts… a placenta," she quipped. Okay, well here's hoping Wilkinson has a cute placenta.
Do you think it's okay for stars to share their births on television?

49ers' speedy linebackers pose problem for Russell Wilson
San Francisco linebackers Patrick Willis and NaVorro Bowman will keep a close eye on Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson on Sunday.
Seattle Times staff reporter
Quarterback Russell Wilson couldn't have been more generous to San Francisco's defense this week. Great defense, he said. Great players. Great speed.
All true, and Wilson has given similar praise to most of Seattle's opponents this season. But this week just seemed a little ... different. A little more direct.
When talking about San Francisco's two Pro Bowl inside linebackers, NaVorro Bowman and Patrick Willis, Wilson clearly laid out the challenge they present.
"I don't think you can get any faster," he said. "They can chase me down like that. I can run pretty good, but they can run extremely fast and make a lot of plays."
In a game full of juicy story lines and individual on-field matchups, Wilson vs. the two-headed monster of Bowman and Willis should be one of the best. And most important.
In Seattle's 19-17 loss in San Francisco, the 49ers had Bowman and Willis keep close watch on Wilson. Both took turns spying on him, meaning they stayed near the line of scrimmage and kept their eyes on him in case he took off running.
Wilson had just one carry in the game, a season low. But it was more than that. He didn't have much success moving around behind the line of scrimmage like he normally does. The 49ers suffocated him.
"The thing with Russell is a lot of his plays are rollouts or keeping plays alive behind the line of scrimmage," said former NFL scout John Middlekauff, who is now a radio host in the Bay Area. "The 49ers can spy with Willis and Bowman, and those guys can run with him. They have unique chess pieces to put on Russell."
On Seattle's opening drive in San Francisco, Wilson left the pocket and rolled to his right. Bowman was spying Wilson and took off after him from the middle of the field. He closed so fast that it looked like he caught Wilson off guard, and Bowman forced a fumble.
"They usually have a spy on me, always having someone watching me," Wilson said. "And they're very athletic. They can make a lot of plays. Just being aware of where they are and what they're doing."
Wilson said "95 percent" of teams use a spy to defend him. But as Wilson pointed out, "most teams aren't as athletic as their linebackers."
The 49ers' outside linebackers, Aldon Smith and Ahmad Brooks, are above-average pass-rushers. They, too, are fast enough to chase Wilson on the edge when he rolls out or starts to improvise.
Wilson will have to find a way to counter that, either with his arm or legs. This game is so evenly matched that it could come down to one or two plays (think something similar to Frank Gore's 51-yard run in the fourth quarter that gave the 49ers the win in San Francisco).
"At the end of the day, you have to trust what you see," Wilson said. "When you're playing the quarterback position, things happen so fast, especially when you're playing a good defense like the 49ers. You drop back, you hit your fifth step and you make a decision. It's either yes or no. You make that decision and you trust it."
