Reading the runes of the CRC review
The Carbon Reduction is going to be made simpler but will not be radically reshaped. ENDS forecasts the three changes to the scheme that the government is most likely to introduce.
EU ducks mandatory energy efficiency targetsThe European Council has failed to move to mandatory energy efficiency standards despite widespread evidence of policy failure. But it has called for new standards and research that would pave the way for an EU-wide smart grid
Energy NPSs could unleash new dash for gas, say MPsThe House of Commons' Energy and Climate Change Committee is "extremely concerned" that the government's redrafted energy national policy statements do not mesh with the UK's carbon budgets, risking a new gas generation boom.

From the current draft of The Light of Awareness:
Yoga is a holistic system and the best definition of "holistic" I've ever heard was on a Dharma Podcast from a brilliant physician named Dr. Martha Herbert: it went something like, "holistic means all of the above." All of the above. Systemic care, which is a transformation from within, doesn't come from a single input, decision, lever or intervention. Yoga is a system of self care.
On the most mechanistic level, you know that if you just change the oil in your car on schedule, but forget to ever tune it up, put gas in or check the transmission fluid, you're going nowhere. We must take care of the whole system. But even more than that, Dr Herbert's point is that holistic care works synergistically.
You can't dissect the system, look to refine a single mechanism that will "fix" the system. Care isn't fixing. That bears repeating: care isn't fixing. Holistic methods transform through four iterative processes :
Full Spectrum Yoga
Yoga is bigger than "styles": you can find everything from power to hot to aerial yoga and it's easy to think that if you just understood what the names meant you'd be closer to finding what you need. "Styles" are what happen when people take a simple set of postures and techniques and brand them. Yoga is bigger than that.
The categories of yoga that matter don't refer to people's names: they are ways of taking care of yourself.
You may have experienced strong hatha in studios and gym classes, videos and audios - any class where you spent part of the time in standing postures, weight bearing on your arms or sweating. These classes run the range from gentle through what's commonly termed "advanced" and build strength, flexibility, bone and breath capacity.
Yin practices are characterized by long holds and cooling breaths, often through the mouth, contrary to the ujayyi warming breath often encouraged in the prior set of practices. These help address long standing patterns and support self knowledge, working with sensation and release of unskillful tension in the body at many levels, from muscle to fascia and nervous system.
You've definitely experienced restorative practices as long as you stayed through Savasana, or final rest in your 'regular' or strong hatha yoga class. Savasana (literally, "corpse") is a taste of restorative that's included in any true yoga class. These are fully supported postures where you stay for minutes at a time, sometimes with guided meditation or visualization and are a luxuriously accessible way to radically change your nervous system over time.
If you've been here very long, you know I recommend at least one of each of these practices a week for every yoga student. I even include some of each in every single class. This is the most effective use of your time on the mat if you're looking to create transformation in your body, your breath, your mind or your feelings.
Full Spectrum Yoga is a practice that includes all three of these yogic modalities. Full Spectrum Yoga teaches you to care for yourself in every situation: strong, injured, tired, energized, morning, evening, weekend, weekday, young, old, postpartum, pre- and peri-natal, anxious, depressed, joyful, content: a spectrum of practices you can tailor to your own life and needs. Full Spectrum isn't a new kind of yoga. Full Spectrum is a way of approaching your practice, fitness and self care so you address every level of yourself in your fitness regime and can draw from the ancient wisdom of yoga, proven through what science is learning about the fractured fitness model, to take care of your whole self and reach the goals you set for yourself.
Full Spectrum yoga for full spectrum living.
How does yoga help stress?
You've heard the drill: it's important to reduce stress, stress isn't healthy, stress is a risk factor for heart disease, cancer, even the flu. And maybe, like many of my clients, you've grown numb to such warnings, thinkings something like, "Oh sure, I'll get rid of stress, I'll quit my job, stop worrying about my responsibilities like kids, parents, mortgage, school, work, voting and groceries. That'll work out greeeeeeeaaat."
Of course trading the stress of broke for the stress of responsibility is no choice at all. But this is a misunderstanding of how stress damages us, of what stress reduction really calls for. The Stress Management Society's website defines stress as, "... primarily a physical response. When stressed, the body thinks it is under attack and switches to 'fight or flight' mode, releasing a complex mix of hormones and chemicals such as adrenaline, cortisol and norepinephrine to prepare the body for physical action."
Stress is any condition that provokes a response. Some stress is necessary for simply maintaining structure - bones are modeled and remodeled according to patterns of stress. Some stress can actually strengthen. Too much provocation is what switches the body to fight or flight (or sympathetic nervous system activation); that one more rude interaction than you can handle gracefully, one more request, one more close call in traffic - the one more than simply strengthens you.
The reason those stress hormones - adrenaline, cortisol, norepi - are deleterious is that they are built from the same building blocks all your good life hormones are built from. If you only experience this once in a while and the reaction is limited, you probably won't suffer from lack of the good stuff. But if you have a close call or provoking interaction every day, or even more, you have no time to recover, nor does your hormonal balance. You begin to make so much of the stress hormones you don't have the raw material for everything else you need.
But the body has a built in brake, if you know how to pull it: the relaxation response (parasympathetic nervous system). There are straight forward techniques of breathing, posture and imagery that can invoke your relaxation response. But you have to practice to have them available when you need them, and if your balance is already off, you need extra doses to bring the system back into balance.
Yoga is chock full of these practices and techniques for invoking your relaxation response and reducing cortisol already in the body. A daily practice gives you the familiarity to remember a helpful thing or two instead of giving in to the rapid retort or knee jerk response in alcohol, smoking, food or whatever your vice of the moment is.
Restorative yoga is like the reverse of a hard day at the office. Every so often you need a little extra bump of restorative: maybe a little every night or an hour every week. My favorite combo for nearly nightly, pre-bed reset? Queens Pose (Supta Buddha Konasana) + Legs Up the Wall, 5-15 minutes each.
You have an opportunity for a nearly total reset on Saturday, May 7th, 2016 from 12-2:30pm: Restorative Yoga with Reiki treatments from a master in an experiential workshop at Badlands Yoga. Know anyone who could use a real break? A grad or a mom, or maybe even you. Click the link and reserve one of the last spots today. You'll be happy you did.

Leave a comment below about what stresses you the most and what helps you reset. One person will receive a personally designed weekly practice template to inspire their #HYP!
Waking up creaky....
It happens to all of us and for so many reasons: we haven't moved enough this week, or yesterday we did too much; yesterday we had too much sugar, one too many glasses of wine or not enough water or even sleep.
For me, this morning, it was the insistent soreness of the epic hike our daily romped turned into when I found a new warren of trails in my wayworn stomping ground. The foothills I usually take one by one beckoned me to take them groups at a time, and with the smell of desert phlox beckoning I blissfully wandered over hill and cactus dale - until I took my phone out to take this pic and realized I had a meeting in less than an hour online!
Needless to say, the return hike was brisk and I took a few short cuts, so ended up on my behind down some scree. But I made it back with 8 minutes to set up the computer and go!
At nearly 50, I think I've used up more than my quota of butt sled rides down granite scree. I woke up a little creaky this morning. And the story in my head sounded like the one my clients tell me that makes me cry, "I'm sore... maybe I should just lay here a little longer. Maybe I should move less today..." There it was, unbidden but clear.
Don't get me wrong - if you're really sleep deprived and could get more sleep by staying put, then by all means. Sleep trumps almost everything in my book (and in any good healer's book). But if you're really just lying there awake, marinating in your stiffness, then this post is for you. And me. And anyone who occasionally overdoes the things they love in life.
If you've ever watched Gil Hedley's "Fuzz" speech (he's a ground breaking anatomist), you know what this feeling comes from and that it's pretty accurate: metabolic and functional byproducts of living, moving and doing what we do get a little stagnant overnight and seemingly glue our insides together. Hence we wake up feeling like the tin man without an oil can.
Here's the kicker, though: that story? It's just a story. The best thing you could possibly do, all else being equal, is trundle out of bed, drink a couple glasses of clear water as you roll out your mat and begin to practice. I know it's a shocker but the answer is still.... yoga. Maybe you move a little slower, focus even more than usual on breathing and the gentle joy of movement, start with sacral pumps and let the water and breath do their work. Or maybe you start to feel like you again and go for the sweaty Sun Salutations. Whichever way you go, you'll be glad you did.
As the man said, "Practice and all is coming." Life, breath, joy, wholeness amidst all of life's fragments, inspiration, tears and above all, presence. All.
I'm off to take my own advice. See you on the mat _/|\_ Christine
Why a HOLIDAY Home Yoga Practice #HYP?
Let's face it, holidays can make time management a nightmare. On top of your regular job, family and general maintenance of shopping, cooking, eating, cleaning, you've to lots of extra errands, parties, goodies to make, pressies to wrap, surprises to plan - and less time to get the work side of things done!
The holidays are a wonderful, magical time, full of celebrations, old friends and family, surprises and wonder. Lights, decorations, sweets, sacred celebrations, sledding, ski trips, moonlight walks with sparkling snow.
Do you keep your yoga practice up? Do you give it up? If you give it up, what will take the place of the calm and feeling of wholeness you have after class? If you keep it up, what errands don't get done? Or is there something else that can give?
If you keep your practice, do you schedule twice a week classes? Do you scale back to one? Do you carve out 15 minutes before the rest of the house wakes - or after they're in bed? Or both?
In addition to regular, skilled teaching, a Home Yoga Practice is the best way to remain flexible through the scheduling chaos of the holidays. And it's always there for you! Because I can't always be there when the lines are long and people at work or while shopping are rude, it's important you have a practice where you develop your inner guide and your ability to hear that guide when it whispers, "Soft belly breath… relaxation response…" or "Remember how Warrior pose feels? You can be kind and brave - channel that!"
When you have a regular practice of 15 minutes most days you are more likely to respond from what you've practiced than your inner control freak - not that you have one, but you've got some inner routine that likes to take over from a place of less calm, less understanding and less awesomeness than you have when you practice.
And this is a self-reinforcing cycle. When you begin to respond from your practice, your stress levels don't rise, others don't respond from their inner rage-a-holic as much, more peace reigns, less cortisol pumps and your awesome shines.
That's why I created the "Zen for the Holiday" HYP Workshop. In this 2 hours, we'll plan for your yoga practice. I'm not going to tell you what you need for your home yoga practice or for the holidays, preach about coming to class or give you minimums. This is your time to reflect, imagine, play and plan.
I'll give you some basic ideas about go to techniques for creating energy, connection and calm and options. You'll decide what's most important to you and what resources you have and how to leverage those resources to feed your light and let it shine hot, long and bright.
After this workshop, you'll have all this wrapped up and waiting for you every day!
True core
Are you still doing sit ups and crunches?
When you understand and feel in your own body what true core strength is, you'll never do another sit up again.
Modern life brings us many conveniences through computers and through cars. These are the 2 nearly ubiquitous experiences of modern adult (and more and more, child) life. Both create what's come to be known as "desk hunch" - shortened hamstrings, psoas, head forward posture, with a coincident loss of the curves of the spine, space for breathing and even, over time, for proper circulatory function.
You come to yoga, go to the gym, hike, run, walk, bike in part to reverse this pattern. Sitting has become, as many of you know, "the new smoking" because of this pattern.
Sit ups and crunches work in a single plane, bringing the rib cage toward to the thighs, and very few people are able to complete even a set of ten without bringing the shoulders forward and chin down. Does that shape remind you of anything? Perhaps the graphic above? Don't practice that shape!
You come to yoga to practice getting the body into shapes that make you feel great.(Check out this post on the "Power Pose" phenomenon for more on that!) And there's a reason they do: they access your true core.
Most "core" workouts target the muscles that join the front ribs to the front of the pelvis (the rectus abominus) and the ones around the sides (the obliques). These muscles are important but they're only a part of the story. And the story can be too short: you can engage, strengthen and buff out these muscles and never engage the deeper core. That's why I call them the vanity abs. Like beautiful skin, their health comes not from focusing on them and applying efforts on the surface; their health comes from paying attention to what they draw upon. In the skin's case, proper nutrition and hydration, and in the core's case, accessing the deeper, unseen and too often unfelt muscles that yoga refers to as "locks" or bandhas and the other muscles that connect to them and form functional groups. The locks aren't key locks, but rather locks like on rivers that when closed create strength (or lift) further upstream.
The pelvic floor is known in yoga as the "root lock" (mula band), the respiratory diaphragm (also a muscle) is the "flying lock" (uddiyana band) and the vocal diaphragm and muscles around it, jalandara band. The first two are our concern for this article. The respiratory diaphragm is actually part of your core and the pelvic floor is actually part of breathing, and both are integral in the body knowing where it is in space and maintaining balance.
The pelvic floor and respiratory diaphragm are joined by the psoas, which originates along the front of the spine just where the respiratory diaphragm is ending and in situ, they are nearly indistinguishable. The psoas then moves diagonally down and forward to attach inside the pelvis, from where it takes off for one more trip diagonally down and inward to attach again inside the upper femur (leg bone).
This complex is what I refer to as the "c" of the core, because it makes that shape inside the body in movement. The c attaches to all the other abdominal muscles - including the vanity abs.
The result is that you cannot engage the deep core (the c) without engaging the vanity abs - but you can - and workouts often - do it the other way around.
Yoga focuses our attention and awareness on the deep core and offers a multitude of ways to engage and strengthen these deeper core structures without compromising their flexibility, which is equally as crucial as being able to access their strength.
Would you like to experience true core bliss in a class? Just come to any class this month, where our focus will be on deep core in every pose. Out of town? - no problem! Simply comment with "True Core, please!" to receive a complimentary yoga audio class you can keep and take over and over.
Workbooks for the following workshops will also be available for purchase after the workshop - comment "workbook" to be notified when these are released.
In person workshops are held at OMA from 1-3pm on the Saturdays indicated. One workshop a month is included in Unlimited Memberships (both Freedom and Committed)!
... and your body includes (at least some of) your mind. Stress: physical reaction. Emotions: at least in part physical. Thoughts: require physical activity that can be imaged and tracked.
You don't have to know how the body and mind interact or whether they are in fact one to understand that what you do with your body effects how you feel. How you feel effects how you think. How you think effects how you act. How you act is what you do with your body, so the cycle goes round and round.
Whether you are dealing with a malady recognized by the healthcare system such as diabetes, arthritis, allergies and inflammation or just want more strength or flexibility (or both), or seek "stress" reduction, more vitality or mood support - there's a yoga for that.
Yoga is a system of techniques and practices for increasing and decreasing reactions and processes in the body and what we usually refer to as the mind. That's why it sometimes gets construed as mystical or religious. Yoga is the user manual for your body.
Does this mean yoga will fix any or all of these things all the time? No. Does yoga hold all the answers? Absolutely not. Yoga works hand in hand with many other answers - but it is part of the solution when the question is about how to effect the body. Yoga is a set of practices and techniques that you do yourself, under the guidance of a skilled teacher for the best results. This is empowerment, this is understanding and this is something that enhances other systems and techniques that support the body in wellness and you in experiencing your wholeness. One of my favorite ministers recently said in sermon that healing isn't fixing: it's returning to the experience of wholeness. Sometimes this comes with a "fix." Sometimes things can't be returned to any prior state. But as long as you are you, you are whole Returning to an experience of this - as opposed to experiences of disconnection, reduction, dissembling, evaluating, comparing and objectifying which so often happens when we seek to experience more or less of something - is the beginning of what yoga provides.
Want to feel more awake? There's a technique for that. Want to wind down for a good sleep? There's a technique for that. Want to suffer less from pain? There are techniques for that. Want to be stronger + more flexible? That, too. Cardio? Yep. HIIT? Yep. Resistance? Yep. Want to experience less stress? Yoga's got you covered.
Here's the rub: yoga isn't like a car wash: you go in one end dirty, have a few solutions applied and get rubbed by a brush and come out the other end shiny. There isn't a pill or a cut for that in yoga. Yoga is something is something you do. If you're looking to be fixed, move on. If you're looking to do something positive that will help you feel the way you want to feel, you're in the right place.

Combo yoga moves for short practices: when multitasking isn't against "the rules"
Sometimes you roll out your mat and daydream until you realize you only have 5 minutes left. Sometimes you feel like you have to choose between yoga practice and brushing your hair.
We all have those mornings - sometimes strings of them together. Invariably, when I feel least like getting on my mat, when I finally get there and get past Up Hands, all of the sudden a string of poses I simply *must* do wells up inside of me and I realize I have time for maybe 2. Okay 3 if I don't salt the hard boiled eggs before throwing them in my bag for breakfast while I drive.
While I love combo yoga all the time, it's particularly applicable on these mornings. If you've been in class lately, you've been introduced to one of my favorite go-to combos: Kapalabhati (bulb syringe breath) in Fierce Pose. What I love most about these combos is that it reveals all yoga poses are "combo:" you inhale as you raise your hands, you exhale as you forward bend; you inhale as you lengthen, you exhale as you go into or deepen the twist. Sun Salutations? The ultimate combo for 360 wellness (just notice how you feel in Savasana afterward!)
So what it really comes down to is that even one yoga pose, when you attend to and coordinate the breath, when you feel it out to your toenails and hair, this pose is a practice some mornings. True, other days need to be complete classes for this to really be effective, but the difference between the days with no morning practice at all (morning for me, may be different for you) and the days of even a single pose - that difference is epic, meaningful, crushing and uplifting.
So you don't know what to do "next" - big deal. Do one now, breathe it, reach out through your fingers and toes, reach in to your real core, the place where you resonate. Your you will be better for it. One pose, a world of being.
The Gratitude Jar
It looks unassuming, but it's a powerful force: the gratitude jar made its debut at our anniversary party last month and is already holding so many powerful statements of what matters most to the people who yoga at the Badlands.
The idea is simple: write down anything you're grateful for. Put it in the jar. Once a year - at our New Year's celebration - we'll take them out and read some and then burn them to symbolically release and remember all the wonderful things that have transpired in the Badlands this year.
The act of writing down what fills your heart and mind with gratitude is correlated with an increase in feelings of well-being and happiness. This starts what is known as a "virtuous cycle:"
The Inward Turn: Forward Folds
During September 2015 we'll be focusing on forward folds. Poses referred to as forward folds in yoga are poses in which your femur, or upper leg bone, is closer to your torso than 90 degrees.
When we focus on a particular class of poses - like forward folds - we focus on the actions of all the poses we do that involve this action. For instance, Downward Facing Dog has forward fold actions in the hips and backbend actions in the shoulders: we'll focus mostly on the hips this month. In Warrior I, instead of focusing primarily on shoulder actions, we'll focus on the leg strengthening action in the forward leg.
Forward folds both require and create strong, flexible core muscles - both the deep core and the vanity abs - to support a long, aligned spine with all its natural curves.
Hamstrings are a major focus during folds because the action of rotating the pelvis forward lifts the sitting bones from which the hamstrings originate. Since they attach to the bones of the lower leg (the tibia and fibula) and cross the knee, keeping the knees bent while you flex at the hip with your core supporting your spine is the best way to enter forward folds form the majority of people - even very flexible ones. This allows you to create the container of the pose, focus on aligning with your breath and then to feel into the lengthening of the hamstrings as you straighten your legs, lengthening the hamstrings. Only go as far as you stay connected to your breath and your low back stays in great alignment; if the hamstrings are pulled down because they're not yet flexible and strong enough to cross the back of the leg fully extended, they'll pull your pelvis back toward its upright position and this will round your lower back. Rounding your lower back in forward folds puts you at risk for disk injury and generally compromises the fullness of your breath as low back rounding leads to shoulder and rib cage rounding.

New Delhi, Mar 1 (UNI) The Electronics Hardware and Component Industry (ELCINA), which urged the government to remove CST (Central Sales Tax) completely on its products, expressed its disappointment as the matter was not addressed in Budget 2008-09.
''Advancing this step for electronics hardware would have given a fillip to investments in high value add manufacturing. Unfortunately that has not happened and waiting for another two years will only push us back further,'' ELCINA's President Rajoo Goel said in a statement.
He said the much needed sectoral push to electronics hardware, for which there is a dire need, is missing.
''Somehow, the focus and importance of Hardware Manufacturing has once again escaped the attention of the Finance Minister and we largely remain where we were,'' he added.
The Demand and imports of electronic products and components is soaring at over 20-25 per cent per annum, the fastest among all manufactured products.
The potential of this surge in demand can be harnessed only if investments and expansion of manufacturing capacity of electronic components, parts and assemblies is encouraged, where most of the value addition takes place, the statement added.
''ELCINA supports the largesse shown by the Finance Minister to uplift the poor of our country, but it also believes that a fraction of that amount can give a major push to electronics hardware and create wealth and millions of jobs for the same underprivileged segment of society,'' Mr Goel said.

text: View attachment 92098 View attachment 92098 First, this is a great forum! I have spent hours reading many topics here. I have a question on our hopeful upcoming project, though. We have a raised peninnsula propane fireplace that is an eyesore and never used in our 1 story rancher. It measures 34"w x 24"d x 26"h with drywall above, sides and below. I would like to take the "box" out and refinish the back wall to install a wood stove. (I hope I am describing this well.) My question is, can the 10"-12" flue pipe from the ceiling to the attic be kept and use the appropriate 6"-8" double liner wall inside it? Can I keep eveything from ceiling to out the roof since it will be the same straight shot as the new? I appreciate any advice here. So far, all I have heard is everything from "a new masonary chimney has to be built...go with gas...but on another wall" to "$2,500 covers most any job". Seems like the days of a few years ago. Thanks!

Athens and Georgia Wrongful Death Lawyers
Have you suffered the death of a loved one because of someone else's carelessness, criminal intent, or intentional disregard? If so, an Athens wrongful death lawyer at Hurt Stolz, P.C. will help you to recover damages by filing a wrongful death claim on your behalf. After a thorough investigation of your case, we document the evidence that proves which party or parties are responsible for the death, assess your damages, consult with experts in medical fields to determine the amount of suffering from injuries that was endured before death, and check with financial advisors to determine monetary losses, including the deceased's contribution to the household.
Don't allow the opposing side's attorneys to rush you into a fast settlement that does not encompass the future. We don't minimize the loss of your loved one and we don't allow others to leave you with less than you deserve. Let an experienced wrongful death attorney from Hurt Stolz, P.C. deal with them instead. Our reputation for standing our ground, professional presentation and superior knowledge of the law, and strong argument is well known amongst insurers and they usually opt to negotiate a settlement rather than take a loss in the courtroom.
Athens Fatal Accident Attorney
When death occurs because of negligence, family members oftentimes don't know where to turn. A wrongful death lawyer at Hurt Stolz, P.C. knows which steps to take, when to take them, and how to turn steps into recovery for damages.
Negligent death may result from injuries sustained in a car or truck accident or construction site hazard. A deliberate act, such as nursing home neglect, or death from another's criminal behavior, may carry punitive damages. Death resulting from medical malpractice, from prescription error to botched surgical procedure, should be exposed and punished so that future patients will not suffer the same fate. Athens wrongful death attorney James W. Hurt, Jr., will determine liability in your wrongful death case, and will aggressively seek full compensation for damages suffered.
Georgia Personal Injury Lawyers
Hurt Stolz, P.C. Georgia personal injury attorneys aggressively pursue those who disregard the safety of others. Companies and corporations sometimes ignore public safety by failing to issue/obey recalls. Injury and death can be widespread across the nation, prompting a class action lawsuit. If you've lost someone you loved because of a defective product or part, seek advice from a consumer protection attorney at Hurt Stolz, P.C. before settling. There may be multiple at-fault parties, increasing your odds of recovery.
Call Athens wrongful death litigators at Hurt Stolz, P.C. offices today for a free and confidential consultation.

Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of Him who is the head, that is, Christ. Ephesians 4:15
I would like to address these thoughts beginning with these verses from
Hebrews 10:24-25 which says Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of His return is drawing to a near.
Therefore, if you have any encouragement in Christ, if any comfort from His love, if any fellowship with the Spirit, if any affection and compassion, then make my joy complete by being of one mind, having the same love, being united in spirit and purpose. Philippians 2:1-2 BSB

O'Rourke claims hurdles crown
Derval O'Rourke's 60m hurdles victory provided one of the highlights of yesterday's Woodies DIY Senior Indoor T&F Championships in the Odyssey Arena as she beat young Limerick star Sara Lavin (Emerald), who equalled O'Rourke's 1999 junior record (8.46) when taking silver.
There was heartbreak for North Down's sprint hurdler Ben Reynolds, whose winning time in the men's final (7.75) was just one hundredth of a second off qualifying for the World Indoors.
Elsewhere, Ciaran O'Lionaird ran a mile personal best of 3:54.08 when sixth in Arkansas and Joanne Cuddihy (KCH) won the 400m in the Perth Track Classic in 52.08.
One of O'Lionard's new US training partners, Matt Centrowitz, won the Wannamaker Mile in 3:53.92, where David McCarthy (Providence) was eighth in 3:57.86.
A DCU team (Joe Warne, Mark English, Brian Gregan and John Coghlan) finished second to Villanova (in 9:39.68) in the college distance medley relay at the Millrose Games, where Irish pole vaulter Tori Pena cleared 4.30m.
Tallaght's Anthony Lieghio won the 800m at the Tyson Invitational in a PB of 1:48.58.
GEORGE DOCKRELL and Albert van der Merwe grabbed five wickets each to give Ireland a slight advantage after an extraordinary first day of their InterContinental Cup clash with Kenya in Mombasa.
Ireland collapsed from a comfortable 43-1 to 75 all out either side of lunch before the Dublin spin duo turned the game back the way of the three-time champions by dismissing Kenya for 109.
Van der Merwe took a career-best 5-41 while 19-year-old Dockrell also recorded his finest figures for Ireland with a return of 5-37.
Opener Ed Joyce hit 51 not out to knock off the first-innings arrears and despite the loss of two late wickets, the visitors led by 47 with eight wickets in hand at the close and will fancy completing an outright victory later today.
IRELAND face a relegation dogfight against Egypt in April after Conor Niland slumped abysmally yesterday in the Davis Cup clash against Hungary in Szeged.
After James McGee and Sam Barry lost 7-6 6-7 6-2 7-6 to Attila Balazs and Adam Kellner in Saturday's doubles, the Hungarians moved into a 2-1 lead in the five-match tie, meaning the Irish had to win both of yesterday's two reverse singles contests to avoid having to travel to Cairo in two months' time.
But the visitors' hopes of clinching a second-round tie against Latvia were blown out of the water when Irish No 1 Niland, believed to be carrying a hip injury, crashed to a humiliating 6-1 6-2 6-1 defeat by Balazs -- 138 places below him in the world rankings.
In the dead rubber, Ireland received a measure of consolation when Davis Cup debutant Barry overcame 2010 Wimbledon U-18 boys champion Marton Fucsovics, who had beaten Niland on Friday, 4-6 6-3 6-2.

UFF 'trick or treat' killer Knight to stay behind bars
Convicted loyalist killer Torrens Knight has lost his legal challenge to the decision to suspend his early release licence.
Knight, who received 12 life sentences for his part in the UFF's Greysteel massacre and the separate killing of four workmen, was seeking to judicially review the move by Secretary of State Shaun Woodward.
His prison release was suspended after he was found guilty of attacking two women in a bar in Coleraine, Co Londonderry, in May 2008.
But a High Court judge refused leave to seek a judicial review after rejecting all grounds on which the application was based.
Mr Justice Treacy said: "If the Secretary of State had not suspended the applicant's licence in the teeth of a conviction for very serious offences of violence it would almost certainly have attracted public opprobrium and undermined public confidence."
Knight was sentenced to four months imprisonment last December for assault and disorderly behaviour.
Although granted bail pending his appeal, he was kept in jail due to the suspension of his licence.
Mr Woodward ordered his recall to prison due to the new conviction and a determination that he posed a risk to the safety of others.
Knight was found guilty of involvement in an attack on the Rising Sun bar in Greysteel, Derry at Halloween 1993. Eight people were shot dead when loyalists opened fire inside the pub.
He was also convicted of the murders of four Catholic builders in Castlerock earlier the same year. The killer was released on licence in July 2000 under the terms of the Good Friday Agreement.
Knight's lawyers argued the suspension breached his right to liberty and should not have been taken until after an appeal against the assault convictions is heard.
It was stressed that the Sentence Review Commissioners have still to determine whether to revoke the licence.

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
I have to sy this this guide is great, but is very fragmented! There is no mention anywhere in the document or the code download on how to generate the certificate files. There seems to be two different certs generated, one for mobileclient and another for
mobilewcf.com, but no instructions on how to generate them. I've already spent 8 hours on google trying other examples and looking at the makecert file and whatever else, but they never work or are meant for non mobile clients.
Most of the time I get "InvalidSecurity" CFFaults, why is this? I assume that its because it cant authenticate the cert, but the code is the same.
What are the steps for getting and using a cert/certs from a trusted CA? Do you have to get two? I dont get what needs ot happen.
We provided the certs to make it possible for you to run the samples, but of course we had to draw the line somewhere as to what we covered and generating certs just was not part of the goal of the document. You can also read my setup instructions for my
book code here: http://www.thatindigogirl.com for details on how to work with certs. It includes instructions for makecert.exe used to create the certs in this article.
To find out what the CFFault is you have to look at the trace logs in the WCF service. Can you turn on trace and load SvcTraceViewer to check it out? An example how to enable trace is here:
As for certs, you will get a cert from a trusted CA for the service (mobilewcf.com equivalent) and that can be used to secure messages from the client. You will only get a client cert if you want to use certificates to secure calls from the client. Most
likely you will not do this, but we covered it since some people need to do this.
Thanks, I found the apendix A and i think it should be all I need.
I know what the CFFault is, the message is "InvalidSecurity". It only happens sometimes and only when I use certs. I am thinking that my service didnt rebuild after I made config changes and that it wasnt expecting certificates.
I do need client certs, we are transmitting confidential information over the wire, but more importantly we need to use the client cert for authentication of the device.

|"Your Guide to the Inca Empire"
Machu Picchu, an incredible story
by Vikram
Machu Picchu laid forgotten by time and the rest of humanity, the jungle slowly reclaimed what the Inca did. At around 1908, an American academic named Hiram Bingham III was in Santiago, Chile to attend the First Pan American Scientific Congress. On his way home back to the United Stated, he passed by Peru where he visited the pre-Columbain city of Choquequirao. Filled with the thrill of exploring lost cities, Bingham went back to Peru this time as the leader of the Yale Peruvian Expedition of 1911. Led by a local named Melchor Arteaga, Bingham III became the first foreigner ever to set eyes on the forgotten city of Machu Picchu.
However, it was not until Bingham's next visit Machu Picchu when the whole world finally discovered the glory of the lost city. In 1912 and 1915, Bingham led a team that was supported by Yale University and the National Geographic Society. The 1913 the entire issue of National Geographic solely focused on the Incan city which led to Machu Picchu becoming South Americas first major tourist attraction.
A national park that was established to protect Machu Picchu and the rich flora and fauna of the surrounding area was declared in 1971. The site was declared a Historical Sanctuary of Peru and was declared with an area of almost 326 square kilometres. In 1983, Machu Picchu was included in the list of World Heritage Sites for the reason of it being "an absolute masterpiece of achievement and a unique testimony to the Inca civilization".
In 2008, recognizing the precarious state of this unique heritage site, the World Monuments Fund placed Machu Picchu in the 2008 Watch List of the 100 Most Endangered Sites. Because of the impacts of tourism and the rapid development of the town of Aquas Calientes which serve as jump-off point for tourists heading to the Lost City, the action of the World Monuments Fund is but an initial step in reversing what could be the start of an irreversible decline of a site that is so grand yet so delicate.

Transfer Evaluation Practices
We encourage students to seek academic advisement as soon as possible after receipt of their transfer evaluation. Academic advisors will utilize DegreeWorks to map a plan of progress toward the most efficient path of degree completion.
KSU considers transfer credit for courses taken at the Associate or Baccalaureate level from schools which are deemed by KSU to be properly accredited. We do not accept courses which directly apply to an Associate of Applied Science, Associate of Applied Arts, Bachelor of Applied Science, Bachelor of Applied Arts, Certificates, or any occupational degrees. Courses which received a grade of "W", "WF", "F","U" or an equivalent are not awarded.
KSU requires a 2.0 transfer GPA. This GPA is made up only of courses that transfer to KSU. Grades of "D" will be accepted only if they do not cause the transfer GPA to fall below a 2.0. English Composition courses will require a grade of "C" or higher in order to transfer. Additionally, courses that transfer with a grade of "D" may not be used in the degree if a requirement specifies a "C" or higher. Transfer courses do not affect the KSU GPA or AGPA.
KSU is on the semester system. Students who are transferring with courses taken under the quarter system will be granted equivalent semester hours. 1 semester hour = 1.5 quarter hours.
Transfer credit is not awarded for the following: internships, directed studies, practicums, workshops, orientation classes, seminars, work experience, graduate-level courses, lower-level Nursing courses, or remedial courses.

The Narrow Gate
Today's Daily Bible Reading is from Matthew 7:13-29. In this Scripture, Jesus says, "Wide is the gate to destruction, but narrow is the gate that leads to life, therefore few will find it." Which path are you on?
He tells us to beware of false prophets. Jesus goes on to compare people with trees, saying a good tree produces good fruit and an evil tree produces evil fruit. You can test people by the fruit they bear. Jesus tells us not everybody who professes to call Him Lord will enter into heaven.
Jesus compares a wise man who builds his house on a solid rock and a foolish one who builds his house on sand. When the rain or storms of life come, which one stands? Of course, the one who builds his house on the solid rock. Read this Scripture and determine where you stand with God.
Daily Bible Reading:
Matthew 7:13-29
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock:
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:
29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.
Things to think about:
- Are you going through the wide gate or the narrow gate?
- Is your life built on the solid foundation of Jesus Christ?
- Have you made sure of your salvation?
Prayer of the Day:
Dear Heavenly Father,
Thank You for this Scripture where Jesus speaks to the people. Help us find the narrow gate that leads to life eternal. Help us be like the trees that bring forth good fruit and the man that builds his house on the rock. You are the rock, LORD. Help us to do what You teach us in Your word. We love You, LORD. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Blaine, Wa (PressExposure) October 15, 2009 -- Today ThoughtOffice Corporation announces the release of their brand-new eXpert Investigator program, a demonstrable package of award-winning ThoughtOffice software and modules designed to help Criminal Investigators, Lawyers, Legal Instructors and others in the PI and related fields get to the bottom of any mystery, crime or legal issue.
Expert Private Investigator Nicholas Cannon and his team bring their 17 years of depth to the program, crafting a Question Bank (eXpertTopic) Module with detailed queries and explanations with a system that guides the user step-by-step through the PI process.
"I began developing this tool ( http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=19 ) when I first started working the beat as an investigator," says Mr. Cannon, "But over time it became THE TOOL I used to help me stay on track in any given case. I then used it to instruct my partners and fellow investigators, and it became the formula for our leading Northern California investigation services."
ThoughtOffice's eXpert Investigator Program guides the user through a logical progression of questions, helping achieve a single-minded focus on the facts without prejudice or bias but with a healthy amount of skepticism. The investigator's curiosity, tenacity and resolve as a detective will be sparked by the unanswerable questions, leading them to form an initial hypothesis for those unknowns. The queries help to ferret-out such issues as: Who would do such a thing? Why would they ever do such a thing? How could they do such a thing? The program helps you drill-down into each of these issues and clarify the answers, while finding ever smaller clues leading to a robust case.
ThoughtOffice's eXpertInvestigator Program then helps the user process the information gathered through interviews, surveillance and other investigative procedures. Sifting through the findings, they will use ThoughtOffice's and Cannon's exhaustive series of questions and concepts to help delineate fact from fiction in the systematic search for evidence. Once they have verified and / or corroborated the crystallized facts, they can then prepare to form solid conclusions and testing the hypotheses.
The program will help users sharpen their critical thinking skills, inductive and deductive reasoning, analytical assessment and above all else, the ability to remain open-minded regardless of the twists and turns the investigation may take. Interfacing with Expert Investigator will train the user to consider every possible aspect along every stage of the investigation. Some of the more obvious queries are:
* On what evidence have I based my conclusion? * Do I have enough evidence? * Is my evidence relevant? * Have I considered negative evidence â i.e. evidence which might point toward a different conclusion? * Is my conclusion verifiable? * Is this the only possible conclusion that can be drawn? * Would others, given the same evidence, arrive at the same conclusion?
And hundreds more probing inquiries that force the user to consider every angle, every aspect of the investigation.
The eXpert Investigator package includes the ThoughtOffice eXpertInvestigator creativity program, a powerful 9,955,000 word associative thinking program and keyword-tagged image library that acts as a unique sounding board and catalyst for nearly any type of brainstorming, allowing the user to tap into a deep well of creative thinking with every keystroke.
ThoughtOffice has also included their 2,000 question eXpertExpander, a well-known companion module that "expands-on" any of the Investigation Modules answers in such a way as to drill even deeper and open up more questions at the same time. This program will often completely expose weaknesses and amplify strengths of any decision the user is set to make.
Additionally, ThoughtOffice has included the eXpertConflict module, a system designed by expert conflict management consultants that allows the user to prepare for any important conversation by walking them through numerous scenarios. With the modules packed into this system, the ThoughtOffice eXpertInvestigator Program can provide users with a powerful secret weapon in the world of detection.
"We hope to see a new breed of Private Investigators graduating over the next few years," Cannon adds. "Fueled by the pervasiveness of the popular CSI television series and others like it, schools are finding this area of study to be one of the top 3 career choices for college freshmen. We believe our tools provide a clear and definitive course, that is seasoned in real-life application. And we hope to see ever more diligent PIs, Police grads, Attorneys and other criminal experts in the future as a result."
Cannon has extensive experience in human relations, deep knowledge of human behavior and advanced scientific fact-finding skills and was recently invited to help plan a new entrance exam for future California Licensed Investigators.
The ThoughtOffice eXpertInvestigator suite is selling at a discount over the next 45 days at a price of $197, discounted from $249 for a limited time. The program can be seen in greater detail at http://www.thoughtoffice.com/?page_id=19.
Prices range from $49 to $499 for modules and complete systems. Reduced-price upgrades are available to legacy IdeaFisher and eXpertSystems users, and give the benefit of a deep discount on the upcoming v2.0 release.
