The Winnipeg Jets might be getting their lone all-star back soon, maybe even this week.
Defenceman Dustin Byfuglien hasn't played since Dec. 27 because of a knee injury and he has missed 16 games. Byfuglien was named to this year's all-star game but he didn't attend the event in Ottawa because of the injury. He started practising with the team Monday and he joined the Jets for their four game road trip. He skated with the team in Philadelphia, the first stop, but didn't play Tuesday in the Jets 2-1 shootout victory.
"I feel ready to go," Byfuglien said Wednesday after practising with the Jets in Tampa Bay in preparation for Thursday's match against the Lightning. "I'm 100 per cent."
Byfuglien has been skating with a leg brace which took getting used to.
"It's feeling good. I really don't notice it anymore. I'm pretty comfortable with it now," he said.
He joked about spending so much time watching games from the press box instead of playing. "I just sit there and laugh at them pretty much," he said smiling. "I'll come down here [to the locker room]and make fun of their play or something or laugh at them."
Coach Claude Noel did not commit to playing Byfuglien Thursday, in part because he is still on the injured reserve list. But he agreed that the big defenceman is close. "He looks pretty good," Noel said Wednesday.
Noel added that bringing Byfuglien back would help the team's offence, which has generated less than two goals a game on average in the last month. Byfuglien has been among the league's top defencemen in terms of shots on goal and he has six goals and 18 assists this season.
"He thinks offensively and adds that from the blue line. And more shots," Noel said. But Noel said the key will be monitoring Byfuglien's time on the ice when he does return, for fear he is reinjured. "You've got to watch and see how he's doing," he said.
One other injured Jet could also be back in the lineup Thursday. Forward Alexander Burmistrov has been out for three games with a mild concussion. On Wednesday he said he had passed all medical tests.
"I'm ready to play, ready to go," he said.
Noel agreed. "It looks like he's a player [Thursday].
Noel also said that he won't be juggling goaltenders too much, meaning he will be sticking largely with starter Ondrej Pavelec. He made 27 saves on Tuesday and has been handling most of the workload all season, playing in 42 of 51 games.
"At this point, points are too valuable for us," the coach said. "Will Pavelec play three of four? He possibly can. It's going to depend on the activity, the amount of shots, how busy he is and how he feels ... We need to win. So I'm not concerned so much right now about wearing guys out."Report Typo/Error

Sydney (AFP) Nov 15, 2006
Former United States vice-president Al Gore Wednesday described the US and Australia as the "Bonnie and Clyde" of the global climate crisis for failing to ratify the Kyoto Protocol. Gore, now an environmental activist, likened the two countries to the notorious American bank robbers during a visit to Australia to promote his film on global warming -- "An inconvenient truth".
The Kyoto Protocol aims to restrict the emission of greenhouse gases blamed for global warming, and the US and Australia are the only two developed countries that haven't ratified the pact.
"I sincerely believe if Australia joined the rest of the world community in the Kyoto process, then the pressure on (US President George W.) Bush would be enormous, just enormous," Gore told reporters in Sydney.
He said he was grateful Australian Prime Minister John Howard had been to see his film, even though Howard said it smacked of a "peeved politician" sniping at the Bush administration.
Gore, who narrowly lost the race for the presidency to Bush in 2000, said he would not expect Howard to "immediately praise it to the skies, given the history of his opposition to what I have been saying".
"But I appreciate him seeing it. I like him, I really do, even if he doesn't like my movie. If some of the information in it got through, I'm very happy about that."
He said it was significant that Howard had in recent days acknowledged a "damaging increase" in carbon dioxide emissions and thrown his weight behind a global carbon trading scheme to reduce greenhouse gases.

U-T MultimediaFollow Kevin Acee's training camp tweets at twitter.com/sdutchargers. And go to chargers.uniontrib.com all day long for updated news all day and a daily video report.
Like the loss that preceded it, a 17-6 victory here last night over the Arizona Cardinals means nothing.
What it did do was give the Chargers plenty to work on, their fans plenty to worry about.
"We have a lot of work to do," Chargers head coach Norv Turner said. "Playing Arizona ... I like the matchup. They're very quick up front on defense, and they've got a good passing game, so it's great work for us."
Pass protection has never been the problem for this group. Philip Rivers was sacked just 25 times in 478 plays last season, 10th-lowest in the league.
But last night, Rivers didn't even have a chance to run for his life. He was swallowed, sacked four times in the first seven times he dropped to pass.
"Our guys up front are going to do a great job," Rivers said at halftime. "We had a little leakage there early, and I've already told the guys I could have helped them a few times. I could have gotten the ball out. We know those are areas where we've always been really good and we will be this year."
Rookie Louis Vasquez, starting in place of the injured Kynan Forney, struggled. But he was not alone.
The Cardinals' first-team defense was stunting and bringing pressure, but the Chargers' front got beat straight-up too.
"It's very unlike us in the pass protection to give up that many pressures or sacks," Turner said. "I'm disappointed in that part. We didn't play like we're capable of playing there."
Fortunately for the Chargers, the Cardinals sent in their second-team defense after the first quarter.
Two second-quarter touchdowns gave the Chargers a 14-3 halftime lead, and Arizona only challenged when it was too late.
With Rivers still in the game, a 36-yard gain off a screen by Darren Sproles set up a 4-yard touchdown run by Michael Bennett that gave the Chargers a 7-3 lead with 5:53 to play in the half.
It was Bennett's second touchdown in as many games. And it was the Chargers' starting offense's first touchdown in six preseason drives.
"We'd hit a big play or hit a big screen and have a penalty; something to set ourselves back," Rivers said. "We know we've got to put points on the board and we didn't do it against their first bunch today. Not good enough, but certainly we can build on it."
A 12-play, 95-yard drive led by Billy Volek resulted in another touchdown, a backpedaling Legedu Naanee catching a 5-yard pass just inside the end zone with cornerback Wilrey Fontenot on him.
Perhaps almost as troubling as the line's porous first quarter were two long kickoff returns by Arizona rookie LaRod Stephens-Howling, for 89 yards on the opening kickoff and 63 yards in the second quarter.
In addition to laying into the Chargers about the sacks, Turner was beside himself at halftime as he blasted them about the kick coverage.
"We've got to get better there," Turner said later.
Both of those returns, however, led to Chargers positives.
If last night, playing against the league's second-leading passing offense in 2008, was to be a test for the secondary, it would probably be considered to have received a passing grade — based on its ability to thwart drives, if not entirely shut down the Cardinals' potent passing attack.
The Cardinals' first possession started at the Chargers' 7 and ended when Quentin Jammer broke up a third-down pass in front of Anquan Boldin in the end zone.
After the next big return set Arizona up at the Chargers' 32, Clinton Hart intercepted a pass in the end zone.
Also, in the first quarter, Arizona had driven 67 yards to the 13 later when Antonio Cromartie perfectly read quarterback Kurt Warner and intercepted a pass at the 1.
"That's one of our biggest focuses," Cromartie said. "Do whatever you've got to to keep them out of the end zone. We did that."
Arizona's two Pro Bowl receivers didn't do the damage they might have. Larry Fitzgerald finished his three series of work having been targeted three times and catching no passes. Boldin caught three passes for 51 yards.
The Cardinals added a second-half field goal. After the Chargers stalled at the 1-yard line on a fourth-quarter drive, Arizona drove to the Chargers' 11 before stalling on downs with 2:45 to play.Copyright © 2017, The San Diego Union-Tribune

Great for the WTA tour and Tennis! :mrgreen:
Just great.....Maybe some more 48+ ex WTA'ers will come out of retirement and "Compete at the highest level"....
Recall it used to be the Sanex WTA Tour but who replaced Sanex? Wonder how much Fedex would pay Roger to change his name? FILA Maria Sharapova? sorta rolls off the tongue
WTA will only get better from this deal.
This past season the WTA Tour had been sponsored by Whirlpool.
It's just a sponsorship.

I just wanted to say thanks for the Santa Cruz pattern (found on Magknits) – I was looking for something to make for teenage nieces and it's just perfect!
How clever you are to give us all those yarn options – now I am going through my stash looking for more yarn to make another one.
Am also trying to figure out if I can make it in something really bulky, but will have to re-invent the decreases.
Hopefully I will get some pix on my blog soon and send some more knitters your way.

The next time you come to Oregon, there are a couple of yarn stores at the coast which are also worth a look. One is a cute shop in the quaint town of Manzanita, Oregon.
Yarn For All Seasons is in a quirky location next to the Oregon Aquariam (think roadside oddities and touristy spots). But when you walk in you realize that this is a large well organized yarn shop with lots of luxury and natural yarn selections.

As I was surfing the net searching for a very simple pattern for wrist warmers I came across your page. I wanted to find a suitable beginner pattern for one of my staff that was about to go back to school. As she and I are both beginners when it comes to knitting I thought I'd try out the same pattern. But ALAS!!! right from the get go I've been stumped by your "Basic Wrist Warmer" pattern made with the lovely soft yarn that you found while visiting your sister. I'm sure my problem is laughable but alas to me its become incredibly annoying and I bet the solution will be very simple!
First I need a pair of circular needles, OK no problem but then the instructions say to "Cast on 45 stitches, distributing them evenly among three double-points". Yike! Three double-points, what does that mean?
My second problem is at the start as well "Place a marker and close the circle". I don't know how to close the circle – I spent about 6hrs trying to figure it out but nothing seemed to look right! In total defeat I rolled up my lovely ball of yarn, glared at it in such as way that it should have burst into flames and disposed of it back into my tote bag.
After looking through the vast number of items you've made with and without patterns I suspect my two small problems should hopefully not take you much time to explain. OH BUT PLEASE DO EXPLAIN! grovel, grovel … grovel, grovel….

It's called the "ball band dishcloth pattern" and is available in the first Mason-Dixon knitting book (I believe) and from the yarn manufacturer's web site.

Dear Sarah, I have been greatly challenged by the Moss Landing Hat in Sock Yarn One-Skein Wonders. I have completed the main body of the hat and two decrease rows. I'm not getting the third decrease row to come out correctly. I have gone back and counted all stitches plus checked my second row and everything seems fine. Any suggestions? This hat is such a beautiful design. Nancy

VISTA -- A deputy chased an offroad motorcyclist who sped off when he saw the deputy and refused to pull over Saturday, a sheriff's sergeant said.
The brief chase began about 8:15 p.m. on West Vista Way and Melrose Drive, Sgt. Scott Miedecke said. The 16-year-old driver apparently was pushing the motorcycle along the road but saw the deputy and jumped on the bike and sped off, he said.
The deputy pursued the motorcyclist, who lost control less than five minutes later and laid the bike down as he tried to loop back to West Vista Way and Hill Drive, Miedecke said. The rider was not hurt.
The teenager was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest, he said. It was unclear why the driver fled from the deputy because the motorcycle was not stolen.

A gem of a hotel
Found this hotel by accident on late rooms, and reading previous comments thought I would give it a try.
So glad that I did what a lovely quaint hotel. Excellent staff very helpful and friendly and a lovely warm feel to the hotel. I arrived as they were finishing the Xmas decorations and it felt like home. Warm mince pies and mulled wine on arrival. Overall an excellent hotel, would highly recommend if you dont mind being slightly out of town.

Quiet break
I read the reviews and wasn't disappointed.
Exceptional customer service, very helpful and considered all your needs, eg still or sparkling water in the room. We chose to have breakfast in Little Venice - so can't comment on the food.

Not as expected
I asked for a quiet room when booking - I got put next to staff area in the basement so it was noisy.
Bed hard. Bathroom no heating (towel rail not on). Shower did not drain away so had to cut shower short. I would not have bothered to post these facts if they had let me change booking date (I had already paid).

Today's post is a mix of yesterday's eats and activities. We'll begin with dessert as it is my favorite meal of the day 🙂 .
I don't know if the rest of my day can really compete with dessert, but here goes…
Monday nights used to be filled with my favorite yoga class at the local YMCA. Gillian, the best yoga instructor ever, lead us through Vinyasa after Vinyasa. It wasn't easy, and there was a lot of sweating involved. Even so, I looked forward to every class, and it was the only one I ever regularly attended. Sadly, when Gillian left for another studio, I cut out yoga all together. Big mistake!
Since I recommend yoga to numerous clients, I've decided I must recommit to my own practice. Surely there are other Gillians out there, right? 2009 is going to be the year of yoga for me, and I figured an early start couldn't hurt. My intentions for this final week of vacation are plenty of rest and lots of yoga. Today, I accomplished the yoga but didn't do too well with that whole resting thing (more on that tomorrow). However, I had no problem eating half a bag of carob chips.
I checked out the local gym's holiday schedule and circled a yoga class for everyday that I am here. Unfortunately, they are closed New Year's Eve & Day. So, I might try Yoga Download those days. Please leave any recommended classes in the comments below. Today's class was Yoga For All Levels, a perfect re-introduction into the Yogi world!
Back to yoga. I lift weights 3-5 days a week, but I am always amazed at the strength required by yoga. Damn those Chaturangas! Love them so much, but my arms were hating me today as I haven't done anything resembling a Vinyasa in months! It's amazing how fast you lose your yoga muscles and flexibility. Throughout today's class, I kept praying for no more Down Dogs…please just say Child's Pose again. I know it won't take long to get back into the swing of things, and with a little consistency, I'll be doing headstands again before you know it!
My yoga appetite necessitated a post lunch treat…
Forget the homemade stuff. This week, I'm kickin it Fage style (Thank you Alice!).
Please join me everyday this week as I blog about my journey back to yoga…carob chips and other yummy eats to be included 🙂 .

Every year, music editors around the nation settle down to the same task. They construct a list of "hot" artists to watch. And every year, that freshly minted crop gets ready to make it big, just like everyone said they would. Then what happens? They line up like sacrificial lambs to the record industry slaughter. Most of them never manage to even scrape together a hit song before slinking back to oblivion with their tails between their legs.
A few of these artists produce one or two hits, and manage to generate just enough publicity to build a fan base. Then they disappear, leaving those fans to wonder what the hell happened to their careers.
Skee-Lo: This vertically challenged rapper spit the kind of light-hearted, profanity-free rhymes that dominated the early Nineties hip-hop scene. His 1993 single "I Wish," with its Forrest Gump-inspired video, ruled MTV. But instead of wishing he were a little bit taller, he should have wished for an album's worth of new hits. After a long hiatus, he returned in 2000 with I Can't Stop. Then, unfortunately, he did.
Candyman: "Attention all ladies. The Candyman is on the prowl. And for those who wanna get busy, you gots to speak up now." Before Tone-Loc's career dried up like a puddle of "Funky Cold Medina," he introduced us to Los Angeles rapper Candyman, who provided backup for the gravelly voiced "Wild Thing" before releasing his own 1990 debut album, Ain't No Shame in My Game. Candyman scored a Top Ten hit with "Knockin' Boots." But his next album, 1991's Playtime Is Over, fell flat. In 2000, he put out an album inspired by his old hit, Knockin' Boots 2001: A Sex Odyssey.
Gangsta Boo: The former crown princess of Three 6 Mafia made waves with her solo debut, Enquiring Minds, which yielded the crunk classic "Where Dem Dollas At." After Boo ditched the Mafia, she changed her name to Lady Boo, promised to seek God, and stopped cursing in her music. That lasted for a hot minute. Last year, she dropped Street Ringers Volume One: The Mixtape. But with nary a hit in sight, it seems the glory days for Boo are over.
Jesus Jones: This British band rocketed to stardom in 1991 with "Right Here, Right Now" and Doubt. But the lack of a strong sophomore album doomed its American success. In 2002, the group issued Never Enough: The Best of Jesus Jones. Ah, the "best of" album. The final nail in any band's coffin.
Blu Cantrell: She's sexy, video-friendly, and she can sing her ass off. So what the hell happened to Blu Cantrell? She went to second place on the Billboard charts with "Hit öEm Up Style (Oops!)" in 2001. Her album Bittersweet boasted a promising second single, "Breathe," featuring the then-ubiquitous Sean Paul toasting over a familiar Dr. Dre beat. Unfortunately, Blu's past life as a nude model for Black Male magazine clashed with her sassy but TV-friendly image. The tour dates on her official Website haven't been updated since 2003.
Amil: This striking, Cherokee- and black-complexioned rapper helped propel Jay-Z's "Jigga What?" and "Can I Get A..." to hit status. But her 2000 debut, All Money Is Legal, failed to yield any big sellers, despite Beyonce's inspired wriggling in the video for "I Got That." Now that Jay-Z's a big man over at Def Jam, maybe he can help his girl out.

Craig Mack: In 1994, Mack dropped the platinum "Flava in Ya Ear," which helped blow up then-fledgling label Bad Boy Records. But after feuding with head honcho P. Diddy over money, Mack left the stable. Rumors of Mack's return to Bad Boy have been floating around ever since, but nothing has come out. Now "Flava in Ya Ear" is just another old-school track. Which reminds us of ...
Total: This all-girl trio first made waves as Biggie's back-up singers on both "One More Chance" and "Juicy." In 1996 their self-titled debut album produced hits such as "Kissin You" and "No One Else." Their followup, 1998's Kima, Keisha, and Pam, did respectably. Then Keisha Spivey left the trio. One thing about being in a sexy girl group: When it comes to an R&B act making it without a key member, forget about it. Just ask Dawn Robinson and En Vogue.
Black Rob: After Biggie died, P. Diddy searched for a rapper who could give Bad Boy some much-needed street cred. Then Harlem native Black Rob came into the picture. In 1999, his debut album, Life Story, yielded "Whoa," a track that drilled its repetitive refrain into your brain. Then, nada. Rumors of another album were squashed when, after a series of health-related and legal dramas, Black Rob got arrested for burglary and criminal possession of stolen property in 2004. Now his career is over, and he's locked up. What is it with P. Diddy, though? You gotta wonder, is he too busy throwing parties for Hollywood A-listers to help his stars come up with a second act?
Digable Planets: In 1993, this trio of jazzy hipsters' single "Rebirth of Slick (cool like dat)" became a pop hit, and their debut album, Reachin' (A New Refutation of Time and Space), sold well. Its follow-up album, 1994's Blowout Comb, was funky and unique, but ultimately went nowhere on the charts. Soon after, Butterfly, Doodlebug, and Ladybug split up and started working on solo projects. Poor Digable Planets. This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you.

Merlin Entertainments said an 8% rise in revenue per visitor at its Legoland division largely offset a 12.4% drop in resort theme park sales - the majority at Alton Towers.
Five people were seriously injured when The Smiler rollercoaster crashed at the Staffordshire theme park on 2 June.
The park was shut for four days and some rides suspended at other attractions following the incident, but the ramifications were felt for far longer as Merlin reported a "significant fall" in visitor numbers over the core summer season.
It culminated in the announcement in November of a restructuring at the park, potentially resulting in 190 job losses.
The company later confirmed it was to reopen The Smiler in 2016 after an investigation confirmed human error was to blame for the accident.
Merlin said pre-tax profit for the year to 26 December came in at £250m - up fractionally on £249m for 2014.
It announced a series of new targets for 2020 including the planned completion of four new Legoland parks - up from three previously disclosed.
The first, in Dubai, was on track to open this year, Merlin said.
It also announced an investment and strategic partnership with Big Bus Tours, the owner-operator of Hop On Hop Off city tours.

We've all heard the saying – "There's no replacement for displacement." Motorcycle USA took this to heart on the Motorcycle Superstore Harley Road Glide project bike. For those who haven't heard about it, be sure to check out our Motorcycle Superstore Project H-D Bagger article to bring you up to speed. For this installment, Mark Daley of Thunder Struck Custom Bikes has thumbed through the pages of the 2012 Biker's Choice catalog for his wish list and then began to tear into the engine.
Now, the stock Harley Road Glide Twin Cam 103 is a powerful mill in its own right, but we're overhauling the trusty Road Glide to give it a more of a hot rod look and feel, so we decided to swap out the stock heads for an S&S Cycle 106" Big Bore Kit. The kit includes the largest bore S&S feels can be safely used in a cylinder with a stock spigot O.D. The kit contains a piston set with rings, top end gasket kit, those beefy S&S cylinders we just talked about, and full instructions for installment. The S&S 106" Big Bore Kit is available with the same silver or black wrinkle powdercoating as stock, so it's easy to match the stock finish of your engine. S&S has attempted to make the swap as easy as possible because installation of the Big Bore Kit doesn't require rebalancing of the flywheel or boring of the crankcases.
(L) Besides the S&S 106″ Big Piston Kit, we swapped out the cams, fueling cam plate, lifters and oil pump on the Motorcycle Superstore Road Glide. (M) The new jugs for the Motorcycle Superstore Road Glide slip right into place. (R) The S&S 106" Big Bore Kit is available with the same silver or black wrinkle powdercoating as stock, so it's easy to match the stock finish of your engine.
Since we're swapping out pistons and cylinders for the Motorcycle Superstore Road Glide project, we figured new cams and pushrods were in order too. For this we sourced a set of S&S 585 Chain Drive Easy Start Cams and an S&S 585 Easy Start Chain Drive. This required a new fueling cam plate as well. The only hiccup was the head bolts were too short and no bolts were provided for the S&S Kit, so Daley used another set of four stock Twin Cam long bolts instead.
An S&S Quickee Pushrod & Cover Kit was also installed, the kit consisting of a Quickee pushrod kit, chrome pushrod covers, O-rings and cover keepers. It is designed to allow for installing without removing the gas tank, rocker assemblies or tappet covers, but Daley pulled off the tank anyways so it could go to the painter and make access a little easier. To top it off we went with new S&S Chrome Rocker Covers, which come with Viton O-rings and all the necessary hardware and gaskets included. With the 106" Big Bore Kit and 585 Cams in place, S&S says we can expect 98.7 hp and 110.8 lb-ft of torque to the back wheel according to their dyno. We haven't dynoed the bike ourselves because it's still pieced out but will take S&S's word for it.
49-3889 S&S Pushrod & Cover Kit $224.95
49-8599 S&S Billet Tappet Covers $199.95
49-6181 S&S 585 Chain Drive Easy Start Cams $358.95
04-1758 Gardner-Westcott Polished Cam & Primary Cover Set $85.49
49-9553 S&S 585 Easy Start Chain Drive $306.95
49-5660 S&S 106" Big Bore Kit $776.95
49-3099 S&S Super Stock 89cc Cylinder Heads $1154.95
49-5421 Fueling Gear Drive Oil System Kit $799.95
03-0093 PC Racing Flo Stainless Steel Reusable Spin On Oil Filter $109.95
62-3385 Kerker 2:1 Supermegs (Black Ceramic) $829
Thunder Struck One-Off Air Cleaner – (ask Thunder Struck's Mark Daley if you're interested in one).
Motorcycle Superstore Road Glide Engine Mods Total – $5447.95
With bigger pistons thumping in larger cylinders, a new fueling oil pump kit was in order as well to keep those jackets cooled, so Daley hooked up a Fueling Gear Drive Oil System Kit for the project. A PC Racing Flo Stainless Steel Reusable Spin On Oil Filter was installed as well. Made from medical grade 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth, the PC Racing Spin On Oil Filter is one of the one of the most high tech filters available in the V-Twin market. With magnetic pre-filtering and a billet aluminum filter case that doubles as an oil cooler, we're confident the system will keep heat of the pumped up air-cooled powerplant in check.
The one-off custom air cleaner Daley made for the build will help feed the mill more air in addition to adding to the hot rod aesthetic of the bike. Ditto for the set of Kerker 2:1 Supermegs in Black Ceramic that replace the stock pipes. Now the motorcycle's intake and exhaust are both dialed in to handle the added engine output.
The coup de grace is the paint. The engine covers have been sent out for a coating of Gun Metal Grey Ceramic. We're aiming for flatter tones on the Motorcycle Superstore Harley Road Glide project, hence the Black Ceramic pipes and the Gun Metal Greys used in the design so far.
We're itching to fire this baby up and take it on a ride so we can hear those Kerker's barking and see if we can spool up that bike tire and leave some black streaks on our local roadways, but the bike is still on the lift undergoing its transformation. There's still air ride suspension to be put on, a new Ness contrast-cut fork to be installed, and a conversion from a closed chain primary to an open belt-drive primary to be done, so stay tuned for the next update on our 2012 Motorcycle Superstore Harley Road Glide project.

Public Works Department employee Anthony Serrano has been honored with a civilian commendation from the San Diego County Sheriff's Department for helping close a case against Imperial Beach's most prolific graffiti tagger.
Serrano also helped the city secure more than $87,000 in restitution for the vandalism.
Last year, Serrano and a graffiti abatement team began documenting, photographing and cleaning up some 218 cases of vandalism reportedly caused by a tagger known as "SLOW." Abatement team members Danny Martinez and Hector Martinez assisted with the stringent process of tracking and reporting the vandalism. The team began documenting cases in April 2009.
The documentation process is part of the city's plan to target vandalism and recover some costs associated with the clean up.
A suspect was arrested in March in connection with the incidents.
Detailed evidence of each vandalism case, including locations and repair cost estimates, helped yield a conviction.
"Graffiti and vandalism will not be tolerated in Imperial Beach," Serrano said. "We are committed to eradicating graffiti from our city and through continued documentation and heightened awareness, I am certain this is just the first of many success stories."

Aconcagua, the highest mountain outside Asia as well as the highest on the American continents is located in the mid-west of Argentina. It's surrounded by a lot of interesting peaks and the national park they're located in attracts about 10 000 climbers and hikers every year. All the peaks belongs to the longest mountain range in the world - Los Andes. This particular part of the range is called The High Andes.
As the park (read Aconcagua) attracts a huge amount of people every year there's a permit fee and strict park regulations to follow.
There is something of interest for all kind of nature and mountain lovers in this park. Hikers go their for easy day treks and world class climbers can find their Eldorado on some of Aconcagua's south face which offers a lot of routes of high difficulty.
Aconcagua is also one of the very popular Seven Summits (the highest peak on each continent) and as the normal route to its summit is very straight forward climb, it's a feasible target even for a well trained weekend adventurer.
Most climbers going to the area have their minds 100% set on the Big One, but there are many other peaks which offers interesting climbing. Some are used as acclimatization peaks, some as separate targets. The nature in the park is stunning and it's well worth a visit even for non-climbers.
Aconcagua National Park
For all other mountains in Argentina a very simple rule applies: Pick a peak, go there and climb it.
This is not the case with the peaks within the borders of the Aconcagua National Park. First of all you need a permit, which can be bought in the permit office in central Mendoza, the capital of the province with the same name.
More info on this:
When you have your permit you can either go straight for the park and attempt the peak all on your own or, more commonly, contact an organizer who'll arrange all the details, such as transport, mulas, base camp support etc.
There are two main valleys in the park and a huge majority use these to reach the foot of Aconcagua. The Horcones Valley on the western side of the peak takes you, via Confluencia to Plaza de Mulas and the normal route. The Vacas valley on the eastern side of mountain takes you to Plaza Argentina, which is the base camp for "The Polish Glacier side" of Aconcagua.
See map.
The normal climbing and trekking season is from December to mid March.
A lot more information about this can be found on Aconcagua page.
The camping is restricted in the park. You're obligued to stay in the official camp spots along the way to the peaks.
On the walk in - Horcones Valley/Normal Route:
If you for some reason is unable to reach any of the camps, the rangers of the park usually allows you to camp in between. A valid reason, such us altitude sickness or a sore ankle is usually accepted, but some zealots have told climbers to rent a mule to go down or up to the next camp.
Higher up on Aconcagua you can basically camp anywhere, but if you're in a large group you may be told to use the official camp spots.
The weather
Aconcagua is the highest peak in the area and therefore it attracts bad weather. If there's only one single cloud on the sky, it's a fair chance it's hanging over the summit of Aconcagua. Weather changes are swift and sometimes very dramatic. A clear day can transform into a windy and cloudy hell in a matter of an hour. The most feared and infamous condition is the Viento Blanco (white wind). Usually the forewarning comes in the shape of an ominous looking cloud formation over the highest peaks. It looks like a soft cotton cap, which is constantly shifting in shape. When you see it - beware! A storm with very fast temperature plunges and ferosious winds are usually around the corner. If the storm breaks, heavy snow usually follows. The really rough storms usually arrive from the west.
That said, the area can also be warm and nice and the weather systems usually holds for some time. When it's warm, don't be surprised you don't have use for many of the cold weather items you brought. I have seen summiteers in only wind proof fleece jackets and without gloves.
Another common weather type is the clear day, with fresh and chilly air and high winds. In general this type of weather is good for climbing, as it's a solid and not so quick changing weather pattern. Be prepared for cold climbing though.
The surroundingsWhen leaving Mendoza you're traveling from the hot flat lands of Argentina, into the dry mountains of Los Andes. An almost desert area is passed and the little town of Uspallata is the last oasis with some real vegetation in terms of trees.
The gorge leading to the national park and later the Chilean border has steep mountain sides with very little greenery. At the entrance of the park there are still some grass, but after only a couple of hours walking you can't spot a sign of flora. It may sound like a dull landscape, but the colors of the surrounding peaks well makes up for the lack of trees, flowers and plants.
The sights of mountain sides in red, gold and sometimes almost green makes the walk in a beautiful experience. When getting close to the base camp, (Plaza de Mulas) the landscape shift quickly to a more alpine experience. Penitentes fields, small melt-off rivers, glaciers and snow capped peaks appear all around you. The valley terminates at the Cuerno-Horcones wall of peaks with large glaciers.
Rock climbers don't have much of a treat here, as the rock in general is quite rotten.
The mountains in the groupOnly some very basic information about every peak, plus some route information will be given on this page. To get the full story, please continue to the mountain's individual pages.
If nothing else is pointed out, the access to the respective peak is via Horcones Valley/"Plaza de Mulas side"/Normal route.
Aconcagua - 6962m
The highest peak in the group and by far the most popular. A goal for all kinds of mountaineers from all over the world.
Ameghino - 5918m
The second highest mountain in the park and for many years thought to be over 6000m. An easy climb and good acclimatization peak from Plaza Argentina.
Access from Aconcagua's east side/"Polish Glacier side"/Vacas Valley.
Manso - 5434m
According to the legend about area, one of the "shoulders" of Aconcagua. A common acclimatization target from Plaza de Mulas or a day hike for excellent views from Nido de Condores.
Bonete - 5004m
The peak can be seen and easily reached from Plaza de Mulas. An easy climb with great views to the next valley.
Cuerno - 5400m
Cuerno means "The Horn" and it's looming over Plaza de Mulas. It's rarely climbed as it's not an easy walk up as many of the other peaks close by.
La Mano - 5300m
Located a long day's walk north of the park and extremely rarely climbed. Its high technical difficulty and hard access makes this beautiful peak a great trophy for any climber.
Rico - 5400m
Located on the east side of Aconcagua and clearly seen from Plaza Argentina. An easy climb which makes the peak the best first acclimatization target on this side of the central massif.
Access from Aconcagua's east side/"Polish Glacier side"/Vacas Valley.
Cerro Catdral - 5254m
Located on the west side of Aconcagua and is clearly seen from Plaza de Mulas. It's an easy day's climb from Plaza de Mulas and is the main contender to Bonete to be the best acclimatization climb before heading for Aconcagua.
Ibañez - 4800m
Another one of Aconcagua's shoulders. Located close to Aconcagua's massive south face. A dangerous climb from Plaza Argentina and very technical from Plaza Francia.
Access from Aconcagua's east side/"Polish Glacier side"/Vacas Valley.
Cruz de Caña - 3686m
A small trekking peak with access from Penitentes.
Mountains not yet on Summitpost
Piramidal - 5700m
A side peak of Aconcagua. It can easiest be reached from the Horcones valley via a narrow river valley. It's a technical climb and it's said there are Inca relics close to the summit.
De Los Dedos - 4900m
When you walk the long and dry stretch in the Horcones valley you see a peak in the end of it. That's De Los Dedos. The easiest access to it's summit is from the ENE side.
There are more mountains in the outskirts of the group.
Place names on this page
There are a lot of names on this page and it may be a bit confusing. I also added some more which you may see on other pages related to the area.
Random order. S, N, W and E are used to indicate where the places are located in reference to Aconcagua.

Pujols out of lineup with sore back
ANAHEIM -- Albert Pujols was out of the Angels' lineup on Saturday night against the Rangers with pain in his lower back. He felt it as he approached home plate on Friday night, scoring a run on Erick Aybar's single during a 7-3 victory.
"I kind of tweaked my back -- I don't know how," Pujols said. "I was three-fourths of the way [down the line] to the plate, two steps from home plate, when it kind of locked on me. I grabbed it. I feel a little sore today.
"I think I can get in the game today, but I don't want to take two or three steps back to take one step forward."
Slick-fielding Efren Navarro, summoned from Triple-A Salt Lake, was at first base and batting ninth in the lineup against Rangers right-hander Nick Martinez.
Angels manager Mike Scioscia said it was day to day with Pujols, who has 16 homers and 44 RBIs with a .255/.315/.479 slash line. Pujols came out of the game after five innings Friday night.
"It's a little stiff today," Scioscia said of Pujols' back. "We'll give him another day and evaluate him tomorrow."

You know, in spite of physical impossibility (although, who said 'impossibility'?) there is a number of time-machines in our life.
Undeveloped films. Lying in a fridge they keep memories from the past being just a piece of stuff in a fridge. Halogenated silver crystals -- can it mean anything? No, it can't.
And then you get the film out of the fridge, develop it, fix it, and wash. You take it into your hands to look at, see pictures and feel... Feel what you felt shooting it. Where were the feelings before? In the fridge? In those damn halogenated crystals?
Yes, physically the process is quite simple. But... but you see the girl which is not your girlfriend anymore or your granddad who has already died or any scratch which is different now and you feel... the feelings you've felt a few days, a week, or a month ago, pressing the shutter.
For me it is not the same as having a picture of your ex-girlfriend or died grandfather in an album. I can believe that the past is kept in a picture, but never in a fridge...
Unfortunately, digits don't allow us to save feelings in a refrigerator...

The measure had support from organizations such as the Minnesota Bankers Association and the Independent Community Bankers of Minnesota. Some members of those groups see the plan to boost the amount of deposit insurance as a way to extend the benefits of the big federal revitalization plan beyond Wall Street firms.
Rick Beeson, the president and chief executive officer of Park Midway Bank, shares that view.
"I think it balances out the resources that are given to Wall Street and putting something back on Main Street," Beeson said.
In Beeson's case, "Mainstreet' is actually Como Avenue in St. Paul, where his bank does a brisk morning business.
An FDIC spokesman said currently about 63 percent of domestic deposits are insured. With this change, the FDIC estimates that number would be 73 percent.
Beeson said only a small percentage of his customers would be affected by the change.
"I would say maybe five percent of our customers are going to be over that $100,000 level," Beeson said. "It allows people who would rather have money at one bank to consolidate it and simplify that and have it all under one umbrella."
For most banks, it's largely retirees and small business owners who would be in that situation. But Beeson thinks there will be a significant impact on other customers' peace of mind, too. He said the bank has fielded several queries over the past few weeks about the safety of deposits, given recent high profile failures of institutions like Washington Mutual and Wachovia.
"I wanted to check into a deposit I made into my savings," said Shelly Holl.
Shelly Holl is one of the Park Midway customers who has made recent inquiries. She said she's not so flush with cash that the deposit insurance increase would affect her. But, she thinks the measure is good for assuring the public about the stability of banks. She got her own assurances on a recent trip here, when she learned that the bank isn't exposed to toxic home mortgages.
"I came in and I talked to my banker and I was really comforted by what I had heard," Holl said. "It's a solid bank and one that I've worked with for a long time. So I'm comfortable."
Historically banks have been safe places to keep money. That's a message that Shawn Jacobson, president of the Financial Planning Association of Minnesota regularly conveys to his clients. He said the federal deposit insurance increase will lend weight to that message.
"As an investment professional, we look at investments on a spectrum, government bonds and bank CDs as the safest investments you can have," Jacobson said. "If savers lose confidence in that, your bedrock is shaken."
Despite their safety, banks have been losing market share to money market mutual funds, which typically have higher returns. Some observers have speculated that the deposit plan could help shift some of that market share back to banks.
Marshall MacKay, president and CEO of the Independent Community Bankers of Minnesota, said he could see some deposits migrating to community banks, but he doesn't expect the boost to be substantial.
"On behalf of community banks everywhere, I would hope that would be the case," MacKay said. "But in the long term the economics and the market dynamics don't necessarily make that the final outcome."
But, if the deposit insurance plan did attract more liquidity into the banking system, Jon Arfstrom of RBC Capital Markets in Minneapolis said that would be a very good thing.
"At the end of the day the bank, the community bank, is the company that's lending money to the local small business that employs people that generates tax revenue and it's very important from a public policy perspective to keep banks healthy," Arfstrom said.
The deposit plan is temporary, it would expire in 2009. Still, it would be the first time the limit has gone up since the 1980s. And, it would impose steeper costs for banks in the form of higher insurance premiums. The FDIC is planning to raise premiums for member banks, charging higher rates to the riskier banks among them.

System.IO.FileSystemWatcher - permissions required for watching
Hi - looking for help answering a question that's bugging me. I have developed a Windows service that watches directories using the System.IO.FileSystemWatcher object. The directory to watch is set via the config file for the service. The Windows service runs under an account that's a member of the Administrators group on the machine it's installed to.
The problem is getting the FileSystemWatcher to watch a directory that's on another machine in the same domain. When the directory to watch is on another machine, the Windows service throws an invalid directory Exception. This is because the service doesn't have the required permissions on the other machine.
I thought there might be 2 ways to solve this.
1. Make the account the Windows service runs under a member of the Administrators group on the other machine. OR
2. Give the account the Windows service runs full control over the directory on the other machine.
The first solution works (making the account an Administrator). The second, which is my preferred solution because it involves a more limited set of permissions, doesn't. I can't understand why not. Why wouldn't you be able to have a FileSystemWatcher watch a directory on another machine that you have full control over?
Can anyone shed some light on this?

Make sure that the account that the service runs under is capable of reading, writing and accessing that directory. In other words, check the effective permissions
1- Right mouse click on the folder...and select Security & sharing
2- Select the security tab and click on the advanced button
3- Select the Effective Permissions tab
4- Click on Select and enter the user name
You will be able to see all the effective permissions for that user.
You will need to ensure that the directory in question does not inherit from its parent directory....and that permissions for that user applies to all sub-directories.
It might be a good idea to login under that user...and see if it is possible to navigate the directory, alter its contents...etc.

(Adds details of bond launch)
BRASILIA, Sept 3 (Reuters) - Brazil on Wednesday launched $1 billion worth of a reopened global bond due in January 2025 to reduce debt costs, taking advantage of strong appetite for Brazilian assets.
Appetite for Brazilian assets have been on the rise as opinion polls showed dimming chances for the re-election of President Dilma Rousseff, whose economic policies have been strongly criticized by investors. They are betting Brazil's next president would adopt tighter fiscal policies that would boost the value of the country's debt.
The Treasury initially planned to sell $500 million to $750 million of the 2025 bonds, but increased the offering as demand for the bonds topped $4 billion, a government official with knowledge of the deal told Reuters.
The strong demand also allowed the Treasury to lower the return paid on the bonds.
Initial price talk was for the bonds to be sold at a spread of 160 basis points over comparable U.S. Treasuries. However, they were launched at a spread of 147 basis points over U.S. Treasuries, Thomson Reuters IFR reported.
The sale was managed by Morgan Stanley, Grupo BTG Pactual SA and Citigroup, the Treasury said on Wednesday. The bonds are initially being sold in the European and U.S. markets but will later be offered in the Asian market, the Treasury said.
In July, the Treasury sold $3.55 billion in global bonds due in 2045, using proceeds to buy back $2 billion worth of costlier global bonds with maturities that ranged from 2024 to 2041. (Reporting by Alonso Soto; Writing by Walter Brandimarte; Editing by Chizu Nomiyama and Jeffrey Benkoe)

Dromara Gaelic Athletics
Club is gearing up for its
second annual Tractor Run and Barbecue.
The success of last year's inuagural event prompted the club to plough ahead with plans for 2014.
As with last year, the event is being staged in association with the Northern Ireland Hospice.
The tractor run and barbecue is to be held at Dromara GAC's Castlewellan Road gounds on Saturday, August 23.
Tractors old and new, along with any participating vintage cars and other vehicles, are to assemble from 4pm with the run itself heading off at 5pm.
This year there will be some added attractions - among them tractor and trailer reversing and keg pushing.
" Everyone is welcome and there will be a barbecue and refreshments available throughout the day," a spokesperson said.
Dromara GAC Chairman Declan McCann, added: "We are excited about the Tractor Run and hope that it will be as successful as last year's event.
" We would love to see local people come along and have a great day out while supporting the work that the Northern Ireland Hospice does locally."
NI Hospice Community Fundraiser, Deirdre Melly, said: "We are delighted that Dromara GAC have chosen to support Northern Ireland Hospice and what better way than to involve the local community.
"Our Community Nursing Team, based in Ballynahinch, provides emotional, practical, social and spiritual support to local people with serious illnesses, and their families, at a time when they need it most.
"We cannot do this without the support of the local community.
"It costs £6m each year to run our services in the community and in our Hospice, temporarily at Whiteabbey Hospital.
"We also still need to raise £2.6m in order to complete the rebuild of our Somerton Hospice in North Belfast. This new building, and the research and education that will be conducted here, will help us to shape the future of hospice care for the changing needs of our population, ensuring that patients with non-malignant diseases such as respiratory, dementia and neurological conditions receive the specialist care they deserve at the end of their life."
For more information about the Dromra GAC event or more about the Northern Ireland Hospice, contact Deirdre Melly on 077 1137 7328 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

ORLANDO, Fla., Dec. 13 (UPI) -- Kyrie Irving helped fuel a fourth-quarter comeback and scored 31 points Friday in bringing Cleveland a 109-100 win over Orlando.
The Cavaliers have won three in a row for the first time this season and have captured five out of six.
Orlando had a three-point lead heading into the fourth quarter, but suffered through a scoring drought of almost three minutes in the period while the Cavaliers were rallying.
Irving made 12-of-24 from the field and Cleveland shot 48 percent as a team. Dion Waiters added 21 points for the Cavaliers.
Cleveland overcame a 26-point performance by Victor Oladipo, which equaled a career best.
The game ended on a sour note when Orlando's Andrew Nicholson knocked Cleveland's Anderson Varejao to the floor with 10 seconds to play. Waiters came to Varejao's assistance and a technical foul was called on Nicholson. He was also kicked out of the game, which could lead to a fine and suspension.


text: In most imperative languages understanding "x.name" requires knowledge of the type of x to understand what "name" refers to. Now with TDNR in Haskell, "name x" requires knowledge of the type of x to understand what "name" refers to. As a newcomer, I think some of the coding conventions favored by haskell-coders to be write-only, but in this case I wonder why this is less readable in Haskell than in, say C?
