Bridge Bites: The Anti-Bath Coup
Date: August 22, 2012
by: Brian Gunnell | American Contract Bridge League
West leads the King, and Declarer craftily ducks. Now, if West continues, he gives Declarer a second trick in the suit. The rule for East here, when holding Jxx, is to encourage with his higher spot card, hopefully that agreement will save West from the ignominy of the Bath Coup.
However, in the diagram above, Declarer pulled off what has been termed as the "Anti-Bath Coup." Against 3NT, West led the ♥K and Declarer could have ducked this trick in order to lure West into a Bath Coup. But Declarer could see that a Diamond shift might be fatal, so in order to muddy the waters he played the ♥J on the first trick! Our (gullible) West assumed that Declarer had started with ♥AJ doubleton and continued Hearts, won by Declarer's Ace. The Club finesse was lost, but East was out of Hearts and Declarer had 9 tricks. Of course, a Diamond shift at Trick 2 beats the contract, but Declarer's clever false card diverted West from the winning play.
Yes, West erred grievously! After that first Heart trick (King, Five, Three, Jack), he should have smelled a rat. Where was the Two? East would not play the Three from 732, instead he would play his lowest card saying, "I don't have the Jack!" So, an alert West (and one who trusted his Partner to signal correctly) could have figured out that Declarer had false-carded. But, in the heat of battle, such clues can be missed!

Laser Pointer UK are much advantageous when it comes to effortlessly pointing at object that is too high or too far. The beam of the laser can point to anywhere unlike the stick or rod which has a limited reach. People in that time usually show off their own laser gadget even if they are not using it for its real purpose. This handheld gadget is used as a pointer during lectures and visual presentations. When an object is highlighted or pointed for emphasis, the laser pointer can be the most ideal tool. The stick and the rod have been long gone since the use of this laser device has become popular.
Now, the 150mW 532nm Green Laser Pointer Pen emitted from the modern pointers can burn some rubber or paper. It can even light a matchstick. Now, laser pen pointers are available in hi-tech designs and various laser colors which include green, yellow, blue, violet, and a more powerful red. If you are choosing a color, you have to remember your purpose in using it. Different colors have different wavelength frequencies ranging from infrared light to ultraviolet light. The green laser pointer has become ideal for many uses since it has the most vivid light and users can easily see its beam. Now, you will no longer wonder why the green laser pointer is the most sold colors.
So if a product is not approved by FDA, it either means that the 10mW 532nm Green Laser Pointer Pen did not pass the right quality and the required level of safety. When a laser product failed the quality standards, it means that the product will not last that long or the parts used for it are substandard. On the other hand, if the laser product did not pass the level of needed safety standard, the laser device can become a hazard to the user. For instance, a green laser pointer that did not pass the standards of safety with a power output of 100mW can carry infrared radiation escaping and becoming hazardous to the skin or eyes. These products without a high level of safety features may cause eye problems or permanent blindness especially right now that the green laser pointer is becoming more popular.

worse, IMO. She is not his mother, she is the woman he wants to marry! I still maintain that Wentworth reacted in a manner consistent with a man who has just been kicked in his pride, and told that he is not worthy of the woman he loves. No matter how gently Anne may have said this, the message is still there. |

It is not a "bridge to nowhere". Jerry O'Neil Montana State Senate Bob Sheridan wrote: If legislation must be rational enough to pass rational basis scrutiny, and must be congruent and proportional to the harm that it purports to rectify, and must be supported by good evidence, not just anecdotal or worse, I wonder whether the annual pork bills, which include, for example, the bridge-to-nowhere in Alaska, can withstand review.

Cop 1: "Kinda quiet tonight, no?"
Cop 2: "Too quiet."
There's nothing really doing outside of the manic C and today's a light volume day. Everyone at the stores trampling over sales assistants, it seems. Grupo Galicia (GGAL) up 17% for its own merry reasons, all on light volume. Bargain hunters exist in Argentina, too.
The copper sisters PCU and FCX both down 5% or so, but anything less than a double-digit move either way hardly raises an eyebrow these days.
Dia Bras (DIB.v) at $0.105 has done 1.2m share volume today. Note the recent press releases from this company...all very intriguing. Otto knows a couple of things here that other people don't know and this one is now on my radar.
Cosan (CZZ) back over $3. This stock offers some great value as long as the corp bonds market doesn't explode on us. DYODD, but i like this stock over the next three months.

What is Capital Crossroads:
Capital Crossroads is a regional planning effort headed up by leaders in Greater Des Moines and surrounding communities.
What is Wellness Capital:
The Wellness Capital focuses on developing a comprehensive wellness campaign to create economic opportunities in Central Iowa.
Sheila Laing and Laura Jackson have worked together so often on various projects that they occasionally finish each other's sentences.
Laing, vice president of human resources for Hy-Vee Inc., and Jackson, executive vice president of health care strategy and policy at Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield, co-chair the Wellness Capital portion of Capital Crossroads, a comprehensive vision plan for Greater Des Moines. As leaders in companies that conduct business statewide, they have witnessed firsthand the increasing recognition that wellness plays a key role in economic development.
"When Sheila and I were invited to be co-chairs of the Wellness Capital, a couple of things made complete sense to us," Jackson said. "First of all, it was a very holistic plan that incorporated really every facet of how you live, work and play in a community. And I think the second natural fit was the Healthiest State Initiative announced by the governor; Sheila and I have been pretty well entrenched in that effort."
Launched in August 2011, the Healthiest State Initiative is a campaign aimed at making Iowa the healthiest state in the nation. The barometer for that initiative is the Gallup-Healthways Well-Being Index, an ongoing nationwide survey of Americans that gauges the healthfulness of people's lifestyle choices by how they respond to questions about their diets, exercise regimens and stress levels. Coupled with that program is the Blue Zones program, an effort to bring lifestyle practices from some of the longest-lived areas of the world to Iowa communities. Both Hy-Vee and Wellmark are primary sponsors of those initiatives.
Because those and similar projects have already begun to address wellness in Iowa, the Wellness Capital committee has been careful not to duplicate efforts and plans to capitalize on the work that's already been done, the co-chairs said.
According to the Capital Crossroads final plan document, "A regional wellness initiative would serve many capitals: business, social, human, environmental, physical, governmental and possibly even cultural. However, it is the potential to leverage a comprehensive wellness campaign to create economic opportunities in Central Iowa, change perceptions of the region through marketing of the initiative and its components, and retain and attract businesses and talent in health and wellness and other target sectors that could have the most dynamic local impact."
One of the committee's first major tasks was to catalog all of the wellness initiatives that are already under way in Polk County, the surrounding counties and the state of Iowa. Working with committee members representing organizations from across the state, that task has already been completed, Laing said.
This summer, the Wellness Capital committee will conduct a survey of business organizations and chambers of commerce statewide to gain a better understanding of existing wellness resources and to identify where gaps exist. The survey is being developed with assistance from David P. Lind & Associates LC in Clive, which specializes in the measurement and assessment of employee benefits trends and data.
"What we hope to do is not just get a sample and some trend information; it's more of a needs assessment," Jackson said. "So the more (participants) we can have, the better we can match resources and figure out what to add in capacity. And we're really trying to satisfy a lot of people's (data) needs all at one time. We had several folks in our meeting who were going to do a survey anyway. So we basically said, let's agree on a core set of questions that would resolve all of our need-to-know items, so that would be one less survey that an employer would be asked to fill out."
"And," Laing said, "in the spirit of the Healthiest State Initiative, we want to share the data that we get. It isn't going to be something that's owned by the (Greater Des Moines) Partnership or Capital Crossroads. We want every entity that could use that data and do something with it to be able to use it."
Another significant goal of the Wellness Capital is to develop a major kickoff event for the regional wellness initiative within the next year or two. "So that would be kind of the next big lift, to scope that based on what we know and figuring out where we head from there," Laing said.
"Maybe the needs and the resources will line up perfectly, and it's just a matter of building awareness," Jackson added. "Or maybe we'll see that there's a need for something we don't have."
The more the committee has met, the clearer it's become how closely intertwined the various capitals are, she said. For instance, when people start talking about environmental issues, that ties in with parks and recreation, which naturally connects with wellness.
"I think the challenge, in a good way, is figuring out how it all fits together," Jackson said. "It's a very comprehensive plan, which is nice to see because it would be easy to just have a wellness initiative."
The Wellness Capital section of the Capital Crossroads final plan document lays out three subsections. Here is a summary of those steps as the plan moves into the implementation process.
Catalog & Advocate
• The first step in developing a comprehensive regional wellness initiative would be consensus-building among key partners. Inherent in this effort would be the need to identify the key public, private and not-for-profit constituents with the capacity and interest to be involved in a program of this type. The public at large must also be made to understand the benefits of a wellness initiative and why they should support it.
• Research and catalog existing wellness-related efforts and organizations in Central Iowa. The development of a formal wellness initiative must start with an understanding of existing programmatic, personnel and resource capacity.
• Assess potential regional buy-in for development of a comprehensive, coordinated and measurable wellness initiative. Many Central Iowa stakeholders likely cannot differentiate between the concepts of health and wellness, not to mention grasp the strategies and sub-strategies that would make up a regional wellness initiative. Local leaders should explore whether these notions are of interest to the broader community by initiating discussion on what constitutes wellness and focusing on the topic of Blue Zones as a framework for discussion of these issues.
Define & Design
• Based on initial information-gathering, regional outreach and advocacy efforts, the parameters of the wellness initiative should have come into clearer focus. Design of the formal programmatic components of the initiative should be a collaborative effort among the key stakeholders engaged in implementing and managing the program and measuring its impact.
• Form a program design committee to create the specifications of the wellness initiative. Empaneling top representatives of constituencies critical to the effective design and development of the regional wellness initiative will ensure that the program reflects existing and best practice efforts.
• Finalize the wellness initiative and activate the program. Once comprehensive community outreach and engagement have been performed and parameters and programmatic elements for the wellness intiative selected, the next step is the public announcement and rollout of the campaign.
Market & Measure
• Once the wellness initiative has been designed, metrics to assess its performance and outcomes must be developed. The initiative should also be leveraged to change perceptions about Central Iowa and appeal to companies, investors and talent attracted to the philosophy and implementation of regional wellness programming.
• Develop performance measurements and outcome metrics to assess the efficacy of the wellness initiative. A campaign as comprehensive, multifaceted and ambitious as the regional wellness initiative must be consistently and accurately measured to inform program operators, participants, funders and the public at large of its progress and success.
• Market Central Iowa's wellness initiative to the nation and world. The external misperceptions of Central Iowa's key assets, opportunities and resources was a common theme of Capital Crossroads public input. Fully leveraging a transformative campaign like the regional wellness initiative to change opinions and attitudes about Central Iowa can generate direct benefits in terms of attraction and retention of jobs, talent and investment.

text: Feb. 9 BELARUS: Amnesty International, Belarusian Helsinki Committee condemn executions of convicts in Belarus Amnesty International and the Belarusian Helsinki Committee have condemned the recent executions of convicts in Belarus. On February 5, the Supreme Court of Belarus announced that Syarhey Marozaw, the leader of a Homyel-based criminal gang, and his close associates, Valery Harbaty and Ihar Danchanka, had been executed by shooting. The 3 were sentenced to death by shooting in a months-long trial that came to an end on December 1, 2006. The so-called Marozaw Gang, which was said to have terrorized the Homyel region between 1990 and 2004, was accused of 16 murders. "Amnesty International and the Belarusian Helsinki Committee oppose the death penalty in all cases, without exception," the human rights watchdogs say in their joint statement. "The death penalty is the ultimate denial of human rights the premeditated and cold-blooded killing of a human being by the state in the name of justice." Scientific studies have consistently failed to find convincing evidence that the death penalty deters crime more effectively than other punishments, the statement says. Amnesty International and the Belarusian Helsinki Committee have urged the Belarusian authorities to immediately inform the families of the convicts about the dates and places of execution and burial, and to allow them to collect the prisoners' remains and any personal effects. In October 2007, the Supreme Court of Belarus handed down sentences to 5 members of the Marozaw Gang, including Messrs. Marozaw and Danchanka, on new charges, again sentencing the 2 to death by shooting. The Court then sentenced to prison 2 other members who fled to Russia after the opening of the case and were arrested later. 5 police officers, including the chief of the regional criminal investigation department, were convicted by the Supreme Court in the case earlier. A total of 46 people then stood trial. The police are currently searching for a former prosecutor of the Homyel region in connection with the gang's crimes. Meanwhile, the Chyhunachny District Court in Homyel is to hear charges against six more alleged members of the Marozaw Gang. More than 130 people are witnesses in the case. Belarus is the only country in Europe and the post-Soviet region that still executes prisoners. The Belarusian authorities have preserved the death penalty for "premeditated, aggravated murder" and 12 other peacetime offenses. There are no data available about the number of executions in 2007. In November, the Supreme Court reported the execution of Alyaksandr Syarheychyk, a police officer convicted of 6 murders. Henadz Navitski, chairman of the upper parliamentary house, said in March 2007 that the number of death sentences passed in Belarus decreased from 47 in 1998 to 13 in 1999, 4 in 2003, 2 in 2005 and 2 in 2006. Interior Minister Uladzimir Navumaw said in late 2004 that five people had been sentenced to death and executed in Belarus that year. "In the last 5 years, no more than 7 people have been sentenced to death annually, which is much less than 1 % of all people convicted of grave crimes," the minister said. "1/3 of the 104 people currently serving life sentences say they would prefer the death penalty," he added. The death penalty was abolished thrice in the country since 1912 but was always been restored again. More than 80 % of those who took part in a 1996 national referendum reportedly voted against abolishing the death penalty. In 2006, the government enacted an amendment to the Criminal Code, which indicated the temporary nature of the use of the death penalty in Belarus. Executions in Belarus are carried out by a gunshot to the back of the head. Neither the condemned nor relatives are told of the scheduled date of the execution, and the relatives are not informed of where the body is buried. (source: naviny.by/rubrics)

From blue and white whose
form is sunlight, where the
heat beats down upon my head
and back, and folds me in a
world that smiles and
sits and sips and rattles
strings of brightly-coloured beads -
into a bowl of shade.
Here the years are trapped,
made cloying, dark, and silent.
The battered frescoes stare from
centuries through air that holds
itself apart, that never strays
into the streets outside.
This cool that shadows gold
and polished wood, that lies upon
the pebbles of the patterned
floor in black and white,
detains me here, and hints at
what I used to feel
when I believed in what
the builders of this church believed.

Don't they have a bull horn or something they could use to tell people to stay in the house and lock your doors? Or here is a thought, can't that spiffy CrimeView technology call each home in a specific area and tell people what to do to be safe? If it can, I hope they start to use it soon, because otherwise with all of this cops and robbers going on, it's just a matter of time before an innocent bystander gets hurt.
Keep listening Granny, we love you.

Providence still harbours some great PVP experiences for visitors and residents alike, if you are into small/medium gang casual engagement market, this is definitely the place to go – although some times FCs end up bargaining more than they asked for.
Battle Report: The one where Rooks and Kings Annihilates a Provi Bloc Response Fleet.
Early in the evening, reports of a Pure Madness gang appeared in the intel channels. They were reported instantly as they entered Providence from low-sec out of Assah (Derelik). Six guardians, Six Zealots, a Loki, a Legion and Damnation…
Sounds like bait, I think?
ProviBloc got confirmation when someone scouted their Rooks & Kings friends at a Titan nearby. The usual faction battleship hot-drop they know so well.
A bit later, a ProviBloc fleet was forming up, HellCats and guardians, with capitals on standby.
As their numbers grew. A separate shield-based support fleet was put up. Calls went out for more numbers in the fleet coordination channels, and people from all over Providence joined up.
The Pure Madness bait fleet only got two jumps into Providence and the fight took place on the G-5EN2 gate in the 9-F0B2 solar system. As the hostiles were reported next door, ProviBloc burned off a bit to avoid starting the fight at zero.
Rooks and Kings/Pure Madness wasted no time in getting the cyno up and getting their caps and faction bs-es in. ProviBloc responded with caps of their own, all according to their plan.
It was at this point nothing went to the CVA FC's Plan, he called a couple of Bhaalgorns primary right away. ProviBloc didn't even come close to breaking their tanks, meanwhile Rooks and Kings began doing what they have become so good at and rendered the ProviBloc cap fleet useless by draining almost every capitals capacitor. ProviBloc even attempted to kill a phobos to no avail.
Then, the CVA FC went down.
After a feeble attempt at trying to put damage on a sieged Revelation failed the order to abort was given by a secondary CVA FC. It was time to get tackle off field and bail.
It seems ProviBloc are still determined to try and still have come out fighting whenever they are given the opportunity. Taking Rooks and Kings on with caps could be seen as brave or perhaps stupid but at least they didnt dock up and blueball them.
John Caffeine from Rooks and Kings said this after the fight:
"Just had a great fight with CVA and the other Providence Holders. Huge props to you guys for bringing a proper fight and having the balls to put caps on field. I hope the result will be more even next time, I fear our fleet was a bit too top-heavy considering the support fleet you guys had, but good show regardless."

$123 at OHS. Got it on "We pay the sales tax" weekend. I just saw the same model at my Farm store for $200!
Wow that is cheap!!!! I wish I could put one outside on my apartment's balcony / porch without ppl wondering WTF lol. Country people are likely to knock on your door just to find out what it is...seriously!
lol, 'i wonder if she's going to stretch more....' yeah Mo! she's got a good month of stretching to do yet i think!!! the nodes are starting to tighten up by the looks now so days getting shorter yes? Mo you are going to have buds longer than your arms. Enjoy and reap the rewards actually i think you got a couple of donkey dicks there to.
Hey FlowaMasta!
I am very excited to see what happens now that they are getting the right food bug defense this year. The big clone is so different in structure than the other two. It is just so bushy with no real thick branches - they are all whispy. The Micro clone on the other hand has two main trunks that are going to be big. They are not expressing any node structure yet though - just big main trunks with a circle of fans at the top!
I am in the middle of transplanting the flower clone out of the container. It is solid roots and I cant even get water to soak in now. Taking pictures so you can have a laugh
Success! No major blunders and no taproots coming out the bottom of the container!
Well she finally got rootbound and was repelling water so I had to take drastic measures - she needed a transplant!
This is how it looked when I started:
It looks like one plant but it is really two - the flower clone is in a container that is obscured by the bush:
When I nudged up the container there were no audible rips of roots and when I got her on her side there were only a few minor roots poking through the holes!
The container was very rootbound and came out cleanly:
With the help of some poles and curbs she is in place and well watered!
Here are a couple of pics of Big:
that did not look like fun transplanting that big girl..
boy"O"boy I bet she is gonna go nuts in the next few days
